“Hmm?”Kayson was surprised and asked, “A Dopper Charm?”Mr. Deer’s face was filled with fear. He couldn’t see through Kayson’s movements at all. He just closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Kayson was standing right in front of him.It was only now he realized that Kayson was far stronger than him.“If you’re not from the Admiraporium or the Shamanian Society, then who are you?” Mr. Deer asked, his voice thick with fear. Suddenly, he thought of something and exclaimed, “You are… You’re Kayson!?”“You know me?” Kayson asked, his voice filled with surprise.Mr. Deer felt a chill down his spine, and his face sank. “How is it possible that you know mystical arts? Outsiders are forbidden from learning mystical arts, so how—”Kayson said, “There’s nothing impossible in this world. I'm sure you know why I'm looking for you, right? Tell me who sent you here.”Myriad of emotions flitted across Mr. Deer’s face, and he harrumphed coldly, “Kayson, I admit you’re really powerf
“Kayson, are you okay?”Willow looked ashamed. She was a level-1 Admiralporium member, yet she seemed to have been a burden instead.“I’m fine.”Kayson shook his head. He was not trained in mental attacks. If he had taken the same path as Master Chandlier, he could have just killed Master Jean with a mental attack. He would not need the support of the silver needle.After some rest, Kayson said, “Drag Mr. Deer in for me.”“Okay!”Willow was incredibly grateful for Kayson since she knew he had just saved her life.As the unconscious Mr. Deer was dragged before Kayson, the latter looked much better now. He woke up Mr. Deer with a pat.“Check if there’s any gem on this energy practitioner who held you hostage,” said Kayson.Willow followed his instructions and went to search his body.Mr. Deer looked disappointed as he sighed. “I didn’t expect you to know Trektus. I would never have come to Clouspring if I had known.”“Speak up. Who instructed you?” Kayson looked impassive.Mr
Mr. Deer disclosed his biggest secret—he had stolen one of the secret techniques of the philosophical branch named Ground-Scrincan.It was an extreme speed technique that was almost magical—a powerful technique to have. If one was well-trained, they could travel hundreds and thousands of miles in several steps. This was, of course, an exaggerated myth, but no matter how blown out of proportion it was, Ground-Scrincan was a marvel.There were not many, even among the philosophical practitioners, who could successfully master the technique.Kayson was a little surprised as well. He had heard his old man of a mentor mention Ground-Scrincan before. The latter had complimented it too.“Take me to it.”There was nothing Mr. Deer could do except obey Kayson. The skill manual was important, and he would surely not bring it around with him, but he would not hide it too far away from him either.Shortly, Kayson collected the original Ground-Scrincan manual from the trunk of a big tree.Mr
Xander sighed. “To be honest, Bolt Doyen, I’m rather worried. If Kayson discovers Mr. Deer and the others, will he find his way here?”Bolt Doyen shook his head with a smile. “You’re worrying too much, Mr. Campbell. Mr. Deer’s trained in Ground-Scrincan. Kayson can’t catch up to him.“Given all the possibilities, even if he speculates that the person behind all these is you, I’m still here, aren’t I? If Kayson dares appear, I’ll make sure he won’t get to go back.”Xander thought about it and found it right. What did he have to be scared of with Bolt Doyen here? Moreover, he was the second richest man in Clouspring. Would Kayson really dare kill him?Xander was unfazed after figuring it out. He resumed his bath leisurely and exhaled with a tip of his chin.Suddenly, a face came into his sight. Astonished, he slipped into the tub.“Kayson!?”Bolt Doyen moved almost instantly as he vanished from the spot and attacked Kayson with a palm strike.Kayson hopped back and avoided him ea
“Thank you.”Kayson was all smiles. He did not expect to have encountered someone who also used lightning energy. His lightning energy had been so close to taking its true form and fighting against Bolt Doyen tonight. Not only had he seen the true form of lightning energy, but he also felt the difference between the completion and incompletion of energy mastery.That was how he swiftly achieved the completion of lightning energy.Kayson looked at Xander, who stood aside, wrapped in a towel with a pale face.“Mr. Campbell, this is our first time meeting, yeah?”It had never crossed Xander’s mind that Bolt Doyen, who was so powerful, would be defeated and killed so easily. He had genuinely thought Bolt Doyen could fight Kayson with his unparalleled speed, but it seemed that Bolt Doyen was only good for his name.Xander was an experienced man, so he adjusted his attitude instantly and said with a smile, “Heh, Mr. Yarde, I must have been blind to cause this misunderstanding.“Had I
Xander was muttering to himself when he suddenly heard a chuckle. He snapped his head back only to see Kayson.“You— Why haven’t you left!?”Kayson looked at him with a smirk. “Mr. Campbell, you still want me dead, as expected.”Xander turned pale. ‘He heard my monologue!?’“I-I…”Kayson asked flatly, “Mr. Campbell, I don’t need to force you in some other ways, right?”Xander slumped to the floor with an ashen face and came clean about a lot of things.Kayson was surprised after listening to him, not expecting a small Clouspring was actually this complicated.Xander was actually Joseph’s man!Kayson could still remember that Xander claimed that he wanted to rise to the top of Clouspring when he tried to recruit him. Not many must have known this secret.“Joseph has a huge secret. You’ll be my spy from now on.”Kayson tore his sleeve and executed the Killing Curse right before Xander. The latter was in pain all over as he coughed blood, making him stare at Kayson in terror.
While Kayson was on his way back, he called Michael.“Uncle Michael, can we handle Joseph?”Michael was stunned when he heard what Kayson said. “What? It won’t be easy. If possible, it’s better to come up with some plan first.”Kayson frowned. Just as he had expected, it wouldn’t be easy. The reason he had asked was that after he had gotten rid of the Allens, Michael had told him that he shouldn’t kill all of them.This was because he did not want anything to happen while he was in the process of annexing the Allens’ property.After all, the total market value of the Allens’ property was about $45,000,000,000. They had quite a lot of companies under their name, so there were quite a few offers, and a little shake-up could have unimaginable consequences.As for Joseph, he was the richest man in Clouspring, so his total net worth could only be higher than that of the Allens.Michael said, “Kayson, there are people from Skyspring supporting Joseph, so you need to be extra careful.
After a short while, Xander and his group entered the living hall.Just as Bradley was about to snarl at Xander, Xander bowed deeply before Yulene.“Ms. Walton, I’ve come to ask for your forgiveness. I hope you can forgive me for trying to poison you.”The Waltons were dumbfounded. They had thought Xander was there with bad intentions. They had never imagined that he would come to apologize to them! The corner of Bradley’s mouth quivered, and it took him a lot of effort to calm himself down.“What is this all about, Mr. Campbell?”Xander straightened his body and said, “Mr. Walton Sr, I’ve come to ask for your forgiveness. Here is $150,000,000. It’s a small token of my remorse, and I hope you can take it.”Bradley and the others were still unable to come back to their senses. There was only one question in their heads—what the hell was wrong with this guy?After Xander told them everything, they realized this was Kayson’s doing. He had helped them once again, and Bradley was f
