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’
Kayson explained the situation briefly, only for Shien to exclaim, “Ghoul Sword is dead?!”Shien’s heart thumped wildly. Ghoul Sword was a pre-celestial expert. Although Shien himself was a captain, it was still impossible for him to take down Ghoul Sword. A criminal like that could only be defeated by captains from the first or second division. Anyone other than them did not seem to have much hope.“Mr. Yarde, will you… let me handle Ghoul Sword’s corpse?”This was an immense merit. Even though Shien had not killed Ghoul Sword directly, the fifth division would still be able to earn some credit.Kayson hummed. If Campian were here, he would ask for the former. It was a pity.Shien took a deep breath and said seriously, “Mr. Yarde, in that case, the fifth division will take credit because you’re not from Admiralporium.“But I’ll hand all the rewards over to you.”Kayson was familiar with the process, as Campian had done the same thing.“As you wish.”He then informed Shien of
Since Joseph knew that Kayson had killed Steelification Doyen, he was incredibly anxious and worried about Kayson’s revenge. Despite that, he dared not simply approach Kayson, so he had Xander test him to see how skilled he actually was. It came as a surprise that Mr. Deer had been killed so easily too.It was really fortunate that Ghoul Sword came at that moment. Joseph played his cards right when he heard that Ghoul Sword was going for Kayson, using him to test Kayson again.“Ghoul Sword’s dead too. Kayson isn’t easy to tackle. Mr. Snook, do you really have a way to do it?”Mr. Snook smirked. “He’ll definitely die as long as he comes!”Joseph trusted Mr. Snook, so he nodded after being reassured.…Meanwhile, Kayson had already arrived at the lodge. A young man in a suit walked up to him and asked, “Are you Mr. Kayson Yarde?”“Mm.” Kayson nodded.The young man greeted him politely. “I’m Mr. Campbell’s assistant. He asked me to bring you over.”“Sure.”Kayson followed him to
Kayson frowned and agreed. “Vodu Worms are quite tricky.“I’ve already realized that there’s a problem when my mind expansion not detecting anything, but I thought that it might be some kind of trap.”If it were a trap, he had Titanium Technique, and most traps would not be able to hurt him. Anything like that was as good as nothing to him.It was a surprise that the man was from the Vodu Tribe. Joseph must have really harmed a lot of people. The Vodu Worms were unnoticeable when killing, so it was an extremely savage tactic.Mr. Snook announced proudly, “You might as well surrender now that my Vodu Worm’s got you.“I wouldn’t have been so careful with you if you hadn’t been able to kill Steelification Doyen.”Kayson chuckled. “You mean that I should thank you for regarding me so highly?”His patience running thin, Joseph urged him, “Mr. Snook, hurry up and end his life!”Mr. Snook nodded, ready to control the Vodu Worm in Kayson’s body and make it devour the latter’s internal
After a while, he seemed to figure it out and spoke up forlornly. “I actually don’t know who he is either, but someone incredibly skilled has been in touch with us.”“How skilled?” Kayson asked.“According to Mr. Snook, it seems to be someone greater than a grandmaster. He said he’s some Smasher.”Kayson frowned. “Where’s that person? How do you guys usually contact each other?”Joseph came clean. “I’m not sure where that person is in particular, but all the contact we’ve ever had has been in Greenspring.”Greenspring?Jason Queen’s Triumph Land and Christine Locke’s Roselle Lodge were both in Greenspring. Kayson thought that he could have them help check this out, so he asked, “Where in Greenspring in particular?”“Mount Clouverdant,” Joseph answered before he asked nervously, “Mr. Yarde, can you spare my life? I promise I’ll turn a new leaf.”Kayson smiled. “If you’re willing to transfer all your assets and wealth. It’s not like I can’t do that.”Joseph widened his eyes as h
The next day, Kayson was going through some materials in the office when Easton rushed in and exclaimed, “Holy sh*t! Hot news!”Reva deadpanned, “Easton, can you not be so dramatic all the time?”Natalie echoed the sentiment. “Yeah, exactly. You always say “holy sh*t” and “hot news”, and then the actual news isn’t even worth much.”Easton huffed, “Well, it’s really hot news this time! According to reliable sources, Jospring Group is getting renamed!”“Jospring Group?”The others looked puzzled, displeasing Easton, who tapped on the table. “The company of the richest man in Clouspring, Joseph Wadley. Hello!”That shocked them, as Reva asked, “How’s that possible? Rich Man Wadley has more than 50% of the company’s shares, doesn’t he?“How could it be renamed if he doesn’t approve?”Kayson chuckled. “It’s true. I think it’s going to be renamed Campbell.”Easton gasped. “Damn, Kayson. News gets to you faster than it reaches me. My information is unofficial and it’s already quick e
The location was set in the Shengville Hotel, but Kayson did not keep Jonathan informed. After all, it was Queenie’s event. There were already a few people in the room of both genders. “Yikes, isn’t that the most beautiful girl in our class, Queenie?”A fairly pretty woman greeted smilingly. Queenie looked toward the person and said politely, “It’s been a long time since we last met, Wendy.”Wendy smiled and said, “It has been a long time indeed. I heard that you’re an administrator in a rather impressive company, right?”Queenie forced a smile. “I’ve already quit my job.”Wendy asked in astonishment, “Why did you quit your job out of nowhere?”Queenie did not feel like elaborating further, so Wendy shifted her attention to Kayson. “Who’s this?”Queenie said, “This is my boyfriend, Kayson Yarde.”“Ah!”Wendy sized up Kayson but did not seem too interested because she could tell at one glance that Kayson was not a rich kid. Even though Kayson was wearing a suit, it was not
