Talia huffed, “It’s the truth! You’re the ignorant one!”“The doctor I found is a famous doctor in Northspring. The bigshots from Springside look for him to treat them,” Jaden snapped back.Violet paused and asked, “You don’t mean Mr. Tanner Smith, do you?”Jaden answered proudly, “That’s right. It’s Mr. Tanner Smith from Northspring. He’s a known doctor who has healed plenty of big names.”Kayson was stunned. Tanner Smith… This was a familiar name. The man had a conflict with him and Zachary back in Roselle Lodge.Jaden looked at Kayson with hostility. “Kid, it’s lucky I brought Mr. Smith with me. Who knows what would have happened if you had been allowed to treat my grandmother!”Violet frowned. She was rather powerless now. She had heard of Tanner’s reputation after all. Despite that, Talia was not a pushover, so she retorted, “Enough of this crap. As long as grandma gets better, it’ll be fine, no?”Elise spoke up. “Mr. Tanner Smith? He’s a promising person. Well done for get
Tanner glowered as he watched Jaden and Luna hurry out.Jaden was quick to soothe him. “Mr. Smith, don’t be angry. That Yarde kid isn’t a family member!”That Yarde kid? Tanner paused, and his expression changed swiftly a second later as he thought of something.“I have something else to do. I’ll come some other day…” Tanner turned around frantically and tried to drive away.“Come in.”However, Kayson’s voice came from the inside of the house. Tanner was certain that it was that kid who had been to Roselle Lodge with Zachary previously. Enraged, he glared at Jaden and Luna. “You tricked me! This isn’t over!”He hurried inside after saying that, leaving the bewildered couple there.Tanner spotted Kayson the moment he went inside and winced. He had not forgotten that Kayson had killed Darius. In addition to what he had heard in Northspring, he was incredibly afraid of Kayson.“M-Mr. Yarde, why are you here?”“What a grand opening… Asking Madam Snyder, a patient, to welcome you a
Elise felt bad for her grandson after all. “Dr. Smith, don’t mind my grandson and his girlfriend. They’re just too young and naïve.”Tanner had no idea how to respond and could only look at Kayson.“Whatever Madam Snyder says,” Kayson answered.Tanner snapped his head to tell Jaden and Luna at once, “I’ll dismiss this as a favor for Madam Snyder.”Jaden and Luna stood aside nervously, and Elise told them, “Have a seat now. It’s not nice to keep standing.”It was only then that the two of them dared sit down, but they dared not look at Kayson. The latter represented mystery and power to them right now.Elise said politely, “Dr. Smith, please have a look at my illness.”“Madam Snyder, are you messing with me? You don't need me with Mr. Yarde here.” Tanner chuckled wryly.“Is Kayson really so good?” Elise asked in astonishment.Tanner sighed. “I dare say that I am not the best doctor in Skyriv, nor is Zachary Ewell the best doctor in Clouspring. Mr. Yarde here is the best.”This
“It’d be my absolute honor!” Tanner replied seriously and left with the prescription.Elise got down to walk on the floor without a walking stick, feeling delighted about it. Although she was a senior age-wise, who could really accept walking inconveniences and the need to use a walking stick if they had a choice?Violet was teary from emotion as she thanked Kayson sincerely. “Thank you, Kayson!”“No big deal.” Kayson smiled and asked, “Can you take me to the place where Madam Snyder fell down?”“Of course!”“We’ll go there after the herbs are brewed and Mr. Smith comes back with them,” Kayson said with a smile.“Sure!”Kayson’s phone rang then. It was Chadwick.“Captain Cloude.”Chadwick’s tone was respectful. “Mr. Yarde, where have you gone? Thomas said that he can’t find you.”“I’m at No. 126 in Tearock Town,” Kayson answered.“Thomas said that he’d like to have a detailed chat with you regarding Jay Lynch,” Chadwick said.Kayson frowned. “Sure. I’ll send the location to
The three of them approached the land where nothing could grow.Once Kayson arrived, he used his dark soul and was delighted about what he found.Talia asked, “Kayson, what do you see? Tell us about it!”Violet was curious too as she looked at him in anticipation.“Regular things can’t survive here,” Kayson said with a smile.“What do you mean by regular things?”“Grains, vegetables, fruit, tea, and stuff… Everything you are familiar with can’t be planted here.”Talia thought that Kayson was bluffing, as they already knew that nothing thrived there anyway! How was his statement different from the experts’ judgment?“Then what do you think should be planted here?” Violet asked curiously.“Tonic herbs.”The girls looked astounded. They had obviously not heard of something like this before.Kayson smiled. “For example, a reishi mushroom that’s more than 400 years in age can be called a tonic herb.”The girls understood then, and Violet exclaimed, “I think I’ve heard of someone
Violet and Talia were both furious. The price was obviously too much!Kayson thought about it and agreed. “Okay.”Luca narrowed his eyes. “I wasn’t finished. It’s $15,000,000 per month!”“You might as well rob someone!” Violet cried out in a fury, unable to take it.Luca scoffed. “Too expensive for you? Don’t rent it then!”“Luca!” Alan admonished him in disgruntlement.“Uncle Alan, don’t yell at me. You don’t scare me.” Luca was disdainful.Alan looked embarrassed. It was kind of awkward that he was Luca’s elder but the latter treated him this way.Kayson frowned and asked, “Who taught you?”Luca was alarmed but he masked it well. “Taught me what? I call the shots when it comes to the land I own!”“That’s my plot of land!”Alan, who was furious, told Kayson through gritted teeth, “I’ll sell it to you for $15,000!”Luca pulled a retractable stick from his back and pointed it at Alan instantly. “Try selling it, Uncle Alan. Try me!”People who had lived their whole lives in
Thomas was bummed. Breezy Group? Why was the top company in Greenspring involved in this… This exceeded the scope of his authority!Violet and Talia were shocked as well. That vacant plot of land was actually related to Breezy Group?Kayson was not making it up then? This plot of land was actually unique and valuable?Alan was similarly taken aback but he was enraged when he heard that Luca had accepted $1,500,000 from someone.“$1,500,000? Luca Quirk, you rascal! I was wondering why you’ve been breathing down my neck, and it’s because you’ve taken money from someone else!”Although everyone in town was living comfortably thanks to Violet’s father, $1,500,000 was still a huge sum to them.Kayson was deep in thought. Breezy Group… Did Hansel know about the energy-charged land? If he had known about the value of the treasure plot, though, he could have just bought it from Alan directly. Why would he have paid someone to keep an eye on it?Kayson smiled. “I’ll pay you $3,000,000 fo
Thomas was a little fidgety. “Mr. Yarde…”“What’s up with Jay Lynch? Just tell me what happened,” Kayson said.Thomas sighed and recounted the matter honestly.Beyond Construction was a subsidiary of Breezy Group. Given what had happened to Jay, his father, Zion, naturally went to Breezy Group for help.Thomas’ superior, Cameron Oberden, received a call from Hansel and asked Thomas to release the man soon afterward.Kayson scrunched his brows upon hearing that. What Thomas said after that made him feel quite impressed with Cameron.Cameron was a strong-willed person. He knew that Breezy Group had powerful support and was influential but he was not scared. Since he had just been promoted to his position, he had even dared fight back any calls to release a subject. He was truly fearless and unaffected by his wife and child’s safety.Once, there had been a hit and run caused by a drunken rich heir. Cameron had gotten the surveillance records and captured the man. Even though Hansel
This enraged Abel, so he directly destroyed the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce. The central part of the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce had already turned into ruins. The members who did not get to flee in time were buried underneath the rubble, their state of life unclear.Abel did not care one bit about this.Seth and others were nowhere to be seen, so he had asked Taylor to run a search for them, swiftly coming to the Tinsleys. Then, he found out that Kayson had taken them to Admiralporium for refuge.Abel’s expression was cool and impassive when he came to Admiralporium again.Felicity, Shien, Campian, and the others who had returned appeared in unison to stop them.Taylor scoffed. “Has Admiralporium stooped to become Kayson Yarde’s lackey? How cheap and despicable. I’ll report it honestly when I go back!”Felicity looked frosty as she ignored Taylor and behaved professionally.“If you’re here as guests, Admiralporium welcomes you. But if you’re here for trouble, you’re prohibi
Kayson did not have the courage to perform mind expansion in Admiralporium because it was not an ordinary place. On the other hand, Chase had never taken him to the weapon warehouse either. Otherwise, he would have discovered the septmetal energy here. He had the vulcan fire energy of the fire element, evergreene energy of the wood element, the aquale energy of the water element, and the septmetal energy of the metal element that he was about to harvest. He had already gathered four out of the five energies of five elements. He would have all five elements by the time he gathered the earth energy. Moreover, he would become a smasher who possessed a darksoul and a lightsoul. Warren appeared astounded upon hearing Kayson’s remark. ‘Is there really something impressive in the tattered spear?’He was a warlord, yet how did he not notice it?Even though he held the post of Admiralporium’s chief, he would frequently travel because there were very few disastrous incidents in Skyriv.
’Why would I need a hammer?’ Kayson was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. “Have you ever heard of Heavenless?”Warren’s pupils constricted, and he exclaimed, “I’ve heard it before, of course! This is an extremely well-known sword technique!“Delmont Hamilton from Northspring fought against the most skilled sword genius, Ezekiel Turner, by using Heavenless in the past!”“Do you think I can break the defense of the Cadogans’ Steel Screen man if I can perform the first form of Heavenless that is a hundred times more powerful than Mr. Hamilton Sr.’s move?”Warren stood up from his seat swiftly and said incredulously, “Y-You’re trained in Heavenless too!? I thought the sword technique had vanished together with Delmont?”Next to him, Master Shannong said, “Could it be that Delmont… is still alive?”Kayson nodded and said, “Mr. Hamilton Sr. is still alive and passed down Heavenless to me.“However, I don’t have a sword that is strong enough because ordinary swords can’t withstand
Kayson was pondering when the sound of rushed footsteps was heard coming from outside the Tinsleys’ home. He raised his head to look and said in astonishment, “Mr. Jackson, Master Shannong, what brings you here?”Seth’s head was drenched in a cold sweat as he said in fear, “The Cadogans are here, Mr. Yarde. They are planning on killing me, my son, and Master Shannong.“We packed up overnight and took most of our credit cards as well as our asset contracts with us. We came looking for you in a haste after learning that you’re at the Tinsleys’ home, Mr. Yarde.”Master Shannong was a skilled fighter, so he remained calm and composed despite being under the immense pressure caused by the Cadogans. Seth and Lex were different. They were panic-stricken and regarded Kayson as their only chance of survival. “Mr. Yarde, will you be able to deal with the Cadogans?” Seth looked at Kayson in a hopeful manner.Kayson shook his head. “I think that there’s a high probability of failure for
Chase’s expression changed ever so slightly. “Shall we inform Kayson then?”“Hmm, reach out to him and inform him that this man has already completed his Steel Screen training and that he is able to make a clean sweep of Skyriv if he wants. If Kayson were to get into a conflict with this man, he would most certainly be on the losing side.”…Kayson arrived at the Tinsleys’ home. Jeremy did not come forward to welcome his arrival, but it was Tyrone. He asked when he met Tyrone, “Grandpa Tyrone, where is Uncle Jeremy?”Tyrone heaved a sigh and said, “Jeremy has been summoned for a discussion. I just found out that there has been pressure from Metrocity’s Cadogans.”Kayson furrowed his eyebrows. ‘It’s the Cadogans from Metrocity again!’“Is Uncle Jeremy in danger?”Tyrone shook his head. “Don’t worry about his safety. It’s only that… the Cadogans will try to figure out a way to send Jeremy to jail.”Kayson was astonished. It would be his fault if Jeremy was framed and sent to
As soon as Taylor’s voice died away, Drake came running to them, his face ghastly pale. “Patrol Yost, Mr. Cadogan, Warren… Chief Kline and the others are back!”Drake’s expression was filled with fear and panic. Randall had told him that Warren was doomed after being encircled by many warlords.Yet, he did not expect that Randall would be beaten to death by Kayson not long after his return. On the other hand, Warren returned safely, while Chase and Ruby were fine as well.If that were the case, he was certain that he would be taken out as well in view of being Randall’s trusted subordinate!Drake remained panic-stricken. So what if the Cadogans were involved? Taylor and the Cadogans could walk away without any responsibility at any moment. How about him? He would still need to continue to hold his post in Admiralporium!Meanwhile, three figures with overbearing auras appeared before Abel and the others.The leading person was precisely Warren.Warren glanced at Drake before
Taylor had very little experience interacting with body practitioners, yet he had heard about Steelification Doyen’s grand reputation. He figured that Steelification Doyen’s reputation must not be so unworthy, right?Noticing Taylor’s disbelief, Abel smiled nonchalantly and said, “Master Steele, Patrol Yost is not a body practitioner, so why don’t you show him the power of Steel Screen?”Tegan, who looked to be a little over 50 years old, stood up. Taylor’s expression changed ever so slightly. He had experience fighting against Kayson, so he believed that he had a right to comment on Kayson’s capability. On the other hand, Tegan was a newly-recruited skilled fighter of the Cadogans, whom he had never heard of before.The Steel Screen’s reputation was widely-known, but he had never encountered skilled fighters trained in the Steel Screen. As such, he had no idea how powerful they could be.“Alright, I shall give it a try then!”Taylor did not reject the offer. Both of them arri
Kayson said with a calm expression, “I know. Don’t worry about that. These people are coming for me.”Beckham’s expression was solemn, and he appeared even more worried. “Mr. Yarde, do you know which influential figure or family from Metrocity it is specifically?”“Ah, I know. It’s the Cadogans from Metrocity.”Beckham and Christine’s expressions changed drastically in unison at once. “The Cadogans… from Metrocity?”Both of them were rendered speechless from fear.Christine’s face turned ghastly pale when she said, “H-How did you offend the Cadogans from Metrocity? You’ve truly broken the limits of mankind!”Beckham also said in a fearful tone, “The Cadogans from Metrocity… Mr. Yarde, we’re in deep trouble! Even though the Cadogans are based in Metrocity, they’re immensely powerful.“They can still affect our business in Skyspring despite being miles away!”Kayson smiled and said casually, “You will only need to manage the company’s operations. I will deal with the Cadogans f
Casey’s expression changed dramatically upon noticing the situation. He pointed at her and said in a stern voice, “You ungrateful wench! Since all of you wish to die so badly, I shall fulfill your wish!”Meanwhile, the boardroom’s door was blasted open by force, and Kayson walked into the room with long strides. He looked toward Casey and said nonchalantly, “Who did you say you’re going to kill?”Christine turned around abruptly and felt instantly relieved when she saw Kaysson was there. After all, the company belonged to Kayson, and she did not wish anything bad to happen to it.Hence, she showed her humility when she was dealing with these people. A slightly resentful gaze emerged on Christine’s face with light makeup on. “Boss, I was truly afraid that I wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure if you still didn’t show up.”Kayson was rendered speechless. He said, “You’re a skilled fighter, yet you are scared of him?”Christine said in frustration, “I didn’t dare to fight
