“Two, I want Tyrese Shore back in his position… Oh, not necessarily. He could do the job in Skyspring too, but that’d require half a promotion.”Clifford snapped, “You think I call the shots in Skyspring?”Kayson asked in surprise, “Hmm, isn’t that the case? Mr. Frith, didn’t you transfer Tyrese over with just one order?”Clifford glowered and huffed, “I can agree to the second condition but I can’t meet the first one.“It was not entirely my choice to target Michael Whitman. The Millers and the Osborns were involved too!”“Oh?” Kayson could not help arching a brow. The Millers and the Osborns? They really refused to back down, huh?“Alright then, make sure Michael is fine in Skyspring with Chase, or I’ll make sure the Friths are wiped out.”Kayson turned to leave but kept talking. “Go to Clouspring to apologize and recompense the Wolfendens personally after sunrise!“Try to brush it off… and we’ll see if the Smasher behind you can keep you safe.”After Kayson vanished, even m
He had simply tried it out? Sadie trained her gaze on Kayson. Had it really been a case of “simply trying it out” last night? It had looked nothing like that when she had seen how nonchalant he was. He had been full of confidence and composure!Sadie looked at him for a while longer and gave up when she realized that staring at him to pressure him did not seem to be doing anything.Then, Liam called out weakly, “Kayson… thank you.”He had found out what had happened. If it were not for Kayson, millions of dollars of construction materials would have become nothing but charcoal before they could be sent to the sites.Kayson smiled. “I’m also a part of the company. It’s my duty and responsibility to minimize the company’s loss.”Liam’s gaze on Kayson was tinged with regret. He really should not have treated Kayson the way he had back then…“Uncle Liam, rest as much as you can. Your injury will heal soon.”Liam asked, “Do you… need help with anything?”Kayson glanced at Sadie and
He had absolute trust in Kayson, without even a tinge of doubt.A couple of minutes later, Hugh’s skin began to turn red. Kayson needled him in time and a wave of energy spread in Hugh’s body. It calmed the redness down, and Hugh seemed to be reinvigorated instantly.“My… inner energy has recovered!”The old man, who was in his sixties, had tears welling in his eyes. Since he had gotten injured, he had not dared hope he would be healed. He had accepted reality a long time ago.It was simply unexpected that he had met Kayson.“Heaven has mercy!” Hugh could barely contain his emotions and was alarmed when he looked at Kayson. He could not feel any sign of Kayson’s presence, so with a slight raise of his brow, he punched the latter.Kayson blocked his fist with a finger and told him weakly, “Grandpa Hugh, stop testing me.”Hugh did not seem surprised as he sighed and said, “Back when I met your mentor, it was like seeing an immortal.“You’re his apprentice. It’s normal that you’
Clifford and Caleb left after bowing, leaving Liam and Sadie, who were silent, alone in the room. The two of them were wondering what Kayson had done to pressure a big shot like Clifford into coming to apologize in person.When Beatrice came to deliver food, she was puzzled upon taking in how the father and daughter looked. She asked, “What’s the matter with you guys?”Liam shook his head. He did not know what to say. As for Sadie, she looked out of the window in a trance. Who knew what she was thinking…After the Frith brothers came back from Clouspring, they began to work on Tyrese’s transfer immediately.Tyrese was transferred to the forestry department. He used to be the mayor of Clouspring, and it did feel awful to be transferred there, but he knew that he was powerless to change anything. Even Chase had told him directly that he was unable to help, so what else could he have done?Since he was already there, he might as well focus and get to work. He was not one to bemoan hi
Kayson looked up in surprise. “Mm, and you are?”The young man seemed pleased as he extended a hand. “Nice to meet you. I’m Felix Phillius from Skyspring!“Back at the Roselle Lodge, my grandfather and I were in Room No.2. We wanted the Lightning Wood too, but it’s a pity that you bid for it.”Kayson then recalled that two rooms had bid for the Lightning Wood at the Roselle Lodge’s auction back then. Room No.1 had been Gerald and Rose Templar, while Room No.2 had placed a bid too and given up a moment later.“Nice to meet you. I’m Kayson Yarde.”Felix smiled. “You seem to be older than me. Do you mind if I call you Kayson?”“Anything goes.”Felix then asked, “Kayson, are you alone? Do you want to eat with us?”Kayson was about to answer when a girl in her twenties from Felix’s group glanced over coldly and mocked him. “Felix, our table is no place for any Tom, Dick, or Harry.“Sure, be generous if that’s what you want, but don’t include us. We aren’t interested in dining with
Kayson smiled. “You could say that.”Felix hesitated before telling him, “Kayson, some big players in Eastsea have already sealed Mount Violightning up. You won’t be able to get in.”“Hmm?” Kayson furrowed his brows and asked, “Sealed? What happened?”Felix told him in all seriousness, “It’s what my friends said just now. Their families are all famous in Eastsea.“They said that someone with a lot of power in Eastsea discovered that there’s a treasure at the top of Mount Violightning and asked people to close off the mountain.“It’s said that he’s also sent numerous master-level fighters to keep guard, so outsiders aren’t able to enter Mount Violightning without the permission of these experts.“Anyone who dares intrude will probably be killed on the spot by the masters.”Kayson asked, “They’re so domineering? Mount Violightning doesn’t belong to them. The local authorities don’t even care about it?”Felix chuckled wryly. “Kayson, Eastriv neighbors with Eastsea, and Eastsea is
Even with age, the practitioner’s various aspects would not weaken.“The Ninth Lightning Serum is already hard to come by, and there’s the Evergreene Seed too… But which one has the powerful big shot from Eastsea come for?”Kayson took one last glance at the Ninth Lightning Serum and reeled back his darksoul, making it return to his body.Back in the hotel, he opened his eyes and checked the weather forecast. As expected, there would be a lightning storm in Soritown the next day. He retrieved a few Lightning Strike Charms that he had gotten from Poison Pop and a cut of log—Lightning Log—that Poison Pop had used to block his lightning energy.“Looks like these people have their eyes on the Ninth Lightning Serum. They probably don’t know that there’s an Evergreene Seed in there…”Kayson could give up the Ninth Lightning Serum, but he had to get his hands on the Evergreene Seed, for if he was able to cultivate Evergreene Energy, he would be able to heal Chief Rivera even without the
There were a lot of people on top of the mountain. Amongst the fifteen fighters, four were grandmaster-level fighters.Right now, all of them were staring at Kayson fiercely as they locked onto him with a dense amount of killing intent.Kayson did not feel surprised to see them. After all, judging from the fact that nobody had stopped him on his way up the mountain, they must have already caught wind of what had happened at the foot of the mountain.He was confident that all of them had gathered at the top of the mountain because they wanted to get rid of him here. “It seems like everyone is here. Well, this will save me a lot of time.”Kayson looked at the four grandmaster-level fighters standing in front of the group. Each of them was an accomplished fighter, and the aura they exuded told him that they were not easy opponents. “Kid, do you know what you are doing?” one of them asked as he gazed menacingly at Kayson. Kayson nodded and pointed at the withered tree behind them
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
