They were talking about the Admiralporium, and Drake showed up.Zachary had been to Skyspring before, so he was very familiar with the Admiralporium’s hierarchy. The power that a captain held was beyond imagination. Their status was comparable to the mayor of Skyspring. Combined with their powerful battle prowess and special authority, they did not have to bow their heads before mayors from other cities.Zachary’s face was stern. He was confident that this man did not come with good intentions. Although he came here alone, as an Admiralporium captain, he did not need an entourage.He couldn’t let Drake take Kayson away. As such, he took a step forward and bowed at Drake. “I’m Zachary. Pleasure to meet you, Captain Thompson.”Drake nodded. “The pleasure should be mine. I’ve heard of your great name many times, Dr. Ewell.”Zachary replied, “You’re flattering me. Kayson is my friend. If there is any conflict between you, I’ll be very grateful if you can forgive him, Captain Thompson.
Kayson did not want to waste his time with him after sensing his hesitance. Campian was caught between laughter and tears. He sighed, “Mr. Yarde, I know you don’t have a good impression of the Admiralporium.“However, I assure you that this kind of bad culture will be well purged if our chief can heal from his injuries.”“Then let's talk about it in a few days. I have a lot of things to deal with lately,” Kayson said indifferently.Campian was delighted when he heard what Kayson said. “Sure. I’ll be waiting for you.” After hanging up the call, Lindsy looked at Kayson in admiration and said, “That’s awesome, Kayson. Even an Admiralporium captain has to treat you respectfully!”Zachary sighed. “You… I don’t really know what to say.”Kayson did not know how to explain to them, so he just smiled.After Queenie expressed her gratitude to Kayson for saving her brother, Kayson asked her about her work.Queenie hemmed and hawed. It seemed to Kayson that she did not want to talk abou
Kayson played chess with Hugh after their dinner. Perhaps Hugh was not in the right mood for chess, as he went to the study room to talk with Liam after playing a few rounds of games with Kayson.Kayson came to Sadie’s room. Sadie glanced at him through the corner of her eyes but did not say anything.She did not feel as repulsive to Kayson now as she did in the past and gradually got used to his company.She would feel something was missing when Kayson was not around these few days.Amongst the money Kayson had in his hands right now, $750,000,000 was the compensation money the Skyspring Wolfendens had given for Sadie.He planned to give the money to Sadie through Albert’s Apex Investment Partners.He was worried that Sadie would ask him a lot of questions if he gave it to her directly. Besides, although this might sound somewhat narcissistic, he did not want her to fall in love with him.After all, their marriage was fake. He would pull out and leave after taking Wolfenden Cor
Kayson looked helpless as he said, “I’m a martial arts practitioner. I can hold my alcohol. You’re far from making me drunk!”Shyla was flushed from how intoxicated she was, looking more sultry than usual. Her brows were furrowed together as she muttered in disgruntlement, “You’re cheating! Annoying!”“You’ve had too much to drink. I’ll send you back to the hotel,” said Kayson.“Oh…” Shyla did not reject his offer, her head swimming heavily.After paying the bill, Kayson helped her back to the hotel.“Don’t go…” Shyla tugged his arm tipsily.Kayson replied, “I’ll be in the living room.”“N-No living room…” Shyla answered almost incoherently, “I h-have a bed!”She patted her side and yelled, “L-Lie down!”Helpless, Kayson went over and gave Shyla’s forehead a light pat, causing the girl to fall asleep right away.“What a lightweight…” Kayson murmured and exited the room.He washed his face and sat on the couch in the living room to continue refining his lightning energy. He w
Both bodyguards looked at Gabriel, but their gazes were impassive.Gabriel gnashed his teeth and plastered on a menacing expression as he led his men over.One of the guards stopped him and asked flatly, “Can I help you?”Gabriel’s expression was dark as he answered, “I’m looking for Ms. Wanda Wainwright.”The bodyguard rejected him swiftly. “No one’s allowed inside without Mr. Perez’s permission.”Gabriel was not as scared since he had Kayson’s support, so he said, “I don’t care about Mr. Perez. Mr. Yarde’s asked me to come here for Ms. Wainwright.“Consider this a warning from me. If anything happens to Ms. Wainwright, Mr. Yarde will never let you off the hook.”Both bodyguards smirked disdainfully.“Scram!”Without a second word, the bodyguard who stopped Gabriel yelled and punched him.“F*ck! He punched Gabriel! Get him, bros!”The men Gabriel had brought were all close to him. There was no way they would just sit around seeing that he was hit.The bodyguards wore a col
Martin wore a pandering grin instantly. “Mr. Perez! This dude doesn’t know better. He’s asking to save Wanda under some Mr. Yarde’s instructions.”Wanda, who looked on edge, froze. ‘Kayson was the one who sent this man?’She was disappointed. She had thought that he would come personally, not expecting him to just send a random person here…Wanda laughed at herself inwardly in self-deprecation. She guessed that it could not be helped. It was not like she was close to Kayson, and she had not told him she was Sadie’s best friend either. It was already a favor from him that he was willing to send someone to her.Mr. Perez chuckled and glanced at Gabriel before grabbing the latter’s hair to lift his head up.“Who’s Mr. Yarde?”Gabriel could not even speak from how dizzy he was.Mr. Perez swung a bottle down on Gabriel’s head directly.“Mr. Yarde? Never heard of him. What’s he got against me?”Mr. Perez tossed Gabriel aside and told Wanda coldly, “Are you not doing me a favor when
Martin jolted. Who was this young man barging in out of the blue? Was he the one Gabriel referred to as Mr. Yarde? He would laugh his *ss off if that were the case.Gabriel was really nothing like Horacio—someone like this could actually command his submission!“You’re…”Kayson ignored Martin to look at the restroom before he dashed there and opened the door to see Wanda struggling as she wailed.Mr. Perez turned around in rage. “Who the f*ck asked you to come in? Martin! What are you doing—”Kayson hauled Mr. Perez up like he weighed nothing and threw him out of the restroom while Wanda looked at him tearfully.‘Gabriel’s really useless…’ Kayson sighed helplessly before Wanda let out a loud wail and threw herself into his arms.“Sorry, I came a little late.”Kayson had rushed his way here with lightning energy directed to his feet while following the GPS. He was fast enough but simply unfamiliar with his way around Clouspring. Thus, it took up some time even when he was being
Kayson was rendered speechless. Could he not meet more reasonable people like Shyla?Martin snarled, “Just wait for your doom for injuring Mr. Perez!”Kayson looked at him and kicked him, sending him crashing on the couch as he coughed blood.Kayson then pressed Hans to his knees on the floor.“B*stard! Let go of me! I’m not about to be humiliated!”Kayson did not even spare Hans a glance as he broke the latter’s legs and pulled Wanda to sit down.Gabriel’s injuries were serious, but it was no problem with Kayson around. He regained consciousness a while later, feeling a cool sensation on his head that felt comfortable.Kayson asked, “Do you want to go the energy practitioner route or the body practitioner route?”Gabriel was thrilled. “You can decide, Mr. Yarde!”Kayson gave it a thought and told him, “A fighter then. The way of combat martial arts is friendlier to those with mediocre talent since practice helps.”Gabriel had no objection. He did not care which route he woul
