Once Royce left, Philip smiled knowingly. “I’ll leave you young people alone then!“Oh yeah, Kayson… A few of the bodies over at Cloudia Paragon were collected by their families, and they’ve asked me to thank you.”He sighed after saying that. “Master Octavius, Master Oczen, and the others are already in jail, and the hearing will be held soon…”Kayson did not know what to say. He had only scanned the vicinity with mind expansion back then, but that had been enough. Those female corpses… had gone through terrible torture before their death, and even their death had not come easy.Kayson felt an impending headache after Philip left.What should he do with Livia? It was not like he could take her to the Wolfendens when he returned to Clouspring. He would not have agreed to meet Royce if he had known. Besides, he was only temporarily staying at Jason’s place now. It would not be appropriate for him to bring another person over!“Ms. Shore…”“Just call me Livia.”“Livia, I’ll take
“I’ll gift the villa to you, Kayson!”Kayson did not refuse upon seeing that he had already made up his mind. He just nodded right away. “I’ll take it then.”“Heh, sure. I can take you there now, okay?”Kayson nodded and went to Creek Villa, the place that Cody had mentioned, with Livia. They left to get some furniture after confirming the style they were going for.Cody spoke while driving. “You can go to Talia’s family’s Hall Furnishing for furniture. It’s considered a big brand and it has pretty much everything.”Livia chorused, “Hall Furnishing is really famous. It’s one of the top furniture companies in Skyriv.”Kayson had no objections since both of them said so. When they reached one of Hall Furnishing’s outlets, since Kayson did not have any preferences, he let Livia pick what she wanted. While they shopped, Cody paled immediately after receiving a phone call.“What’s the matter?” Kayson asked.“My father said that our family company is under attack. Many suppliers ha
Diego contacted his father immediately and went to the company. His father, Brian Gardner, was currently worrying in his office. The company was not big scale-wise but it was still doing quite well.There were already a few sites that had rejected his construction material supply, and some had even claimed that the material quality was substandard, thus asking for compensation.If one or two companies had claimed so, Brian could still have figured out a way to apply for quality assessment and argue the case, but this was not just one or two! About 80% of the bosses he was working with had told him that they wanted to return the materials.How much money was he going to lose since there was such a large-scale return of building materials going on? In addition, he had new supplies coming in.He had business partners, but they were not involved in the management, so the company was relatively stable for now. Despite that, people would lose their confidence if this went on. Once there
Only a few top companies could work with Shaun Cash.“Hahaha, that won’t do. You’ll have to make some money, won’t you? I’ll have someone sign the contract on my behalf. His name is Kayson Yarde.”Shaun laughed heartily. “Your son knows him, so just look for him from now on. Anything he says goes.”“Okay, sure. Goodbye, Mr. Cash!”“Goodbye.”When they ended the call, Brian gasped and stared at Diego with glowing eyes. “Who’s this Kayson Yarde he spoke of?”Diego was also shocked that Kayson had done them such a huge favor.“I-It’s a friend Talia introduced to me…”Brian held back the thrill gushing within him. “Maintain a good relationship with him, you hear me? He’s not a simple guy for sure!”Meanwhile, Leyla went to see her father, Howie Lang, who was speaking on the phone with Finnick.“Yes, Mr. Sullivan. I’ll arrange for the delivery right away!”Upon hanging up, Howie was filled with shock.Leyla asked fervently, “Dad, has the issue been resolved?”Howie smiled in re
Uncle Zen replied, “It’s true that it’s not been decided yet, but I plan to pick a company from the handful that your father’s investing in.”“I have a friend whose family runs a renovation business. Why don’t we pass the project to them?” Livia asked.Uncle Zen was surprised. Livia had never gotten involved in company affairs. Why was she suddenly pulling strings for her friend?“As long as the quality is assured and they don’t do a shoddy job or cut corners, I don’t have much to say. It’s just that your dad…”“I’ll talk to him as long as you make the decision.”Uncle Zen replied, “Alright then, let me know which company it is. I’ll call them and talk to them first.”Livia shifted her gaze to Cody, whose jaw was slack, and he quickly spoke up. “Greenspring’s Flying Ape Projects Ltd!”“A company from Greenspring…?” Uncle Zen sounded puzzled.The company was not exactly famous, but he said nothing since Livia had recommended it.“Leave it to me, Livia. I’ll get in touch with th
“Can he find one?” Kayson asked.Jason sighed. “Barely! Each factory basically has its own orders, and it’s nearly impossible that they’d agree to push back their own orders.“Even if one of them agrees, we’ll have to wait until their current order is completed…“Besides, there’s also sourcing the raw materials, which makes it even harder.”Kayson had not expected Hall Furnishing to be in this massive trouble. Then, Livia discreetly poked his arm and whispered, “I can help…”This surprised Kayson, who said, “Uncle Jason, I can help Uncle Roman find a factory. Do contact him for me.”Jason seemed to be shocked. “Kayson, are you serious?”Kayson chuckled. “I wouldn’t dare joke about something so serious.”Jason was skeptical. Since when did Kayson have connections in this industry?“Wait for my text.”Jason hung up after saying that.Livia told Kayson promptly, “My dad has invested in furnishing and household companies and taken over three factories. Two are regularly used, wh
Roman winced. There was no way he could agree to do it for $8,800,000. This order of his would only make a profit of $6,600,000. The $8,800,000 request meant that he would have to lose $2,200,000 to Fabian Law despite making the handover in time. He might as well pay the penalty for the breach of contract directly!“Mr. Law…”“Roman Hall! $8,800,000! Not a cent less! Agree to it and I’ll lend you the factory!”Fabian scoffed. He was not the one begging at this point in time anyway.Roman did not look good. He had been caught in a predicament, and taking a step forward or backward would crush him.Fabian was unmoved upon seeing Roman stay silent. “Looks like you’ve already made a decision. See you again then. I hope you pull through this time.“Otherwise, your future opportunities might all end up in my hands.”Roman asked in silent rage, “Fabian Law, you know who’s targeting me, don’t you?”“That’s right.” Fabian smirked. “And I don’t mind telling you that Hall Furnishing is do
Livia, who noticed his puzzlement, said, “My father’s Royce Shore.”“Oh, I see…” Roman paused. His eyes bulged a second later, and he gasped. “W-Who did you say your father is? The richest man in Skyriv, Royce Shore?!”Livia nodded indifferently.Roman was antsy now. The richest man in Skyriv was not planning to acquire Hall Furnishing, was he?Livia did not read too much into it as she said, “Uncle Roman, if you’re okay with it, I’ll draft a contract on the spot and we can sign it so you can get ready to go to Skyspring.”There was a multitude of expression changes on Roman’s face before he gritted his teeth and asked, “May I know why you’re helping me?”“Because Kayson wants to help you,” Livia answered after a slightly surprised pause.Roman then shifted his eyes to Kayson, who was next to her, in astonishment. “How do y-you know me?”“Oh, I know Uncle Jason and I heard about your plight from him, so I thought I could offer you a hand,” Kayson replied with a smile.Roman si
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
