Kayson’s figure disappeared, and by the time he reappeared, he was 32 feet away from his original spot. Since he could only move in a straight line, he rammed straight into a tree. It took him a lot of effort to pull himself out of the trunk. His face was filled with sawdust as he mumbled begrudgingly, “The amount of inner energy this skill consumes is terrifying!”He had only moved 30 feet or so, yet he had used up 10% of his inner energy.In other words, he could only move about 3,000 feet even after he used up all his inner energy?Even though it might sound impressive, 3,000 feet was not enough to pull himself away from danger if he really ran into a powerful fighter.“This skill is rather useless to me at the moment… If I become a smasher, maybe I could move 16,000 feet in the blink of an eye.”The sky got dark by the time he had practiced for two hours. Kayson washed the dust off his face, and just when he was about to return to the Wolfenden mansion, Zachary called him.
Kayson frowned slightly and said, “Can you take me there, Captain Whitman?” “Yes, I can… But it’s a little bit late now, so…”Kayson smiled. “Let’s go there tomorrow.”“Okay!” Captain Whitman said with a nod.After all, Kayson had saved his life, so he was more than willing to do him this favor.Captain Whitman’s full name was Evan Whitman. He had been a police officer for 20 years, so he was very experienced. Zachary invited Kayson to have dinner with them, and he only returned to his house after he finished his dinner.Hugh was waiting to play chess with him. As they were playing chess, Hugh asked, “Kace, you haven't been eating at home much lately. What have you been working on recently?”Kayson replied, “Well, I’ve just been running errands. The family of a worker got into trouble after the incident at the construction site last time.”Hugh nodded and said, “By the way, it has been some time since you and Sade got your marriage certificate. I plan to hold a wedding for y
Although the floor was hard, sleeping on the floor was more comfortable for Kayson. After all, whenever he was sleeping on the bed with Sadie, he always worried that he might wake her up each time he turned his body around.The next morning, he asked Sean for time off and went to Bwell Therapeutic.Evan had been waiting for him. However, this time, he was accompanied by a young man around 25 or 26 years old.The young man was dark-skinned and had fierce-looking eyes. At first glance, he did not look like a police officer, but more like a criminal.“Mr. Yarde.” Evan walked up to Kayson and greeted him.Kayson replied with a smile on his face, “Captain Whitman.”Evan then proceeded to introduce the man standing next to him. He was his disciple, and his name was Silvan Canfield.Silvan seemed to be looking down on Kayson as he said indifferently, “Hi.”Kayson nodded at him before turning to Evan. “Shall we get going?”Evan nodded. Then, they drove one of their SUVs to the pond
Silvan could not help saying, “Evan, this kid’s making things up. He just took a look here and wanted us to contact Admiralporium. You’ll be penalized!”Evan snapped out of his daze as well. Silvan was right. Kayson had just taken a look without doing anything.Kayson told them indifferently, “Just inform them. I’ll be responsible if there’s an accident.”“Will you even be able to take responsibility—”“Shut up!” Evan scolded and glared at his mentee before walking off to the side to make the call.He came back a while later and told Kayson, “Admiralporium will send its people within three hours.”“Please get some water pumps and excavators here, Captain Whitman,” Kayson asked.Evan got to work without a second thought and called Admiralporium without any hesitation. How hard was it to get some water pumps and excavators over?In less than three hours, five to six people came over.Evan and Silvan went up to them, only for the head of the group to walk past them directly to go
Silvan looked awkward as Evan pressed his head down to apologize to Kayson.“Mr. Yarde, I’m sorry!”That stunned Kayson momentarily before he smiled. “It’s not so serious. There’s no need to apologize. But of course… I’ll accept it since you’ve already apologized.”He then asked, “You’re one of Skyspring’s Killicks?”Silvan paused and nodded. “Yeah… How did you know?”“I beat up someone named Harold Killick,” Kayson answered.Silvan was speechless before he replied drily, “That’s… my younger cousin. My parents aren’t exactly big among the Killicks. While I’m a Killick, I’m not like a core family member.”Kayson chuckled. “So you want to achieve something and go further to gain the Killicks’ acknowledgment?”Silvan was astonished. “You can see this too?”“You wear your impatience and eagerness to earn merit on your sleeve,” Kayson answered.It only made Silvan more awkward. Kayson had actually beaten up Harold, and he himself remained unscathed—and he knew people from Admiralp
Easton was beaming with joy. “Could I be bluffing? She’s really gorgeous…”Delight suddenly flooded Reva’s features as she called out, “Kayson!”Easton turned around, only to see Kayson enter, and asked excitedly, “Kayson! Kayson! Have you seen the new CFO?”“Yeah.” Kayson nodded.Easton chuckled. “What do you think? Isn’t she pretty?”“Yeah!” Kayson replied with a smile.Easton sighed. “Too bad. I don’t know what her name is or if she has a boyfriend…”“Her name’s Celeste Peach,” Kayson answered.Easton, Reva, Quincy, and the others glanced at him at once.“Why are you all looking at me like this?”Easton could not help asking, “How do you know her name, Kayson?”“Oh, she’s my friend.”The rest of them widened their eyes as Easton wailed, “No! My first love is gone again!”Natalie deadpanned, “Easton, this is like your 216th first love.”“F*ck off!” Easton retorted.It was already after working hours, and Sadie was working overtime, so Kayson went downstairs to meet Cel
It was Ghoul Sword!Kayson was only asking in passing because the man was using a sword and the attack hinted at a grandmaster’s level. That was why he had thought of Ghoul Sword. It was actually the criminal himself.Kayson looked at the broken trunk and the fissure on the ground. Thanks to the remaining sword energy, his gaze turned grim after a rough judgment. How was Ghoul Sword so good? His sword aura could absolutely break the steel power of Steelification Doyen.Perhaps he would not be able to kill Steelification Doyen, but in terms of damaging power, ten Steelification Doyen could not even compare to one Ghoul Sword.“Kayson, w-who’s he?”Celeste was aghast. She was only a regular girl. How could she have encountered a situation like this?“Ghoul Sword, a criminal and a grandmaster fighter.”Celeste asked worriedly, “I-Is he very good?”“He’s alright.”“Are we running?”Kayson shook his head. “We won’t succeed. He could find me again since he’s found me once.”Speaki
Kayson kept using Ground-Scrincan and caught up to Ghoul Sword in the blink of an eye, punching the latter with accumulated lightning energy. As lightning flashed and thunderbolts echoed, streaks of lightning energy ran amok destructively within Ghoul Sword.Ghoul Sword flew tens of meters away and crashed against a tree. He fell to his knees, and it was thanks to his sword’s support that he did not collapse on the ground.“How… did you know about Ground-Scrincan…”“If you had come a day earlier, you might have actually been able to kill me with your sword,” Kayson said indifferently.There was indignation in Ghoul Sword’s gaze as he asked, “What’s the name of your last move?”“Novem Lightning Zero Impact, which is triggered by lightning energy. I’m at the sixth stage now, so the lightning energy will erupt six times continuously within your body.”“No wonder… My tendons were destroyed within an instant and my inner energy vanished.”Ghoul Sword nodded. “You’re very powerful. I’
