Kayson could not help feeling speechless. Carl was overdramatic. The Lightning Wood was precious, but $15,000,000 or $30,000,000 would be more than enough. The old man had already given him $180,000,000, yet he wanted to give him shares too?“Never mind about the shares.” Kayson rejected the offer with a shake of his head and looked at Naomi. “I didn’t know the Living Reaper was your mentor. I’ve long heard about the prestige of your master’s name.”Naomi winced. “My mentor’s been missing for a long time. No one knows where he is, or I would have asked him to come meet you.”“I’d love to meet the top doctor in the Nation of Dragons if I had the chance.” Kayson smiled.The group went back to the living room downstairs and sat down. As they chatted, the Philliuses discovered that Kayson had helped Admiralporium before. Time slipped by as they chatted, so Carl asked Kayson and Naomi to stay the night. Their house was a villa anyway and had many rooms.Kayson did not mind, and the Phi
“Let’s test it…”Kayson did what he thought right away, merging both types of energy with his inner energy to form a new kind of steel power and activate the Titanium Technique.Although he had not fought with anyone, he could feel his Titanium Technique getting incredibly close to the heaven stage.“Perhaps after a few more days of training and drilling, I could call myself an actual titanium fighter…”Knock, knock, knock!Felix, who was at the door, shouted, “Kayson, are you up? Come have breakfast.”“I’m up. Let me wash up first,” Kayson replied.He did what he said before going downstairs to have breakfast with the Philliuses.Carl looked troubled when he spoke up. “Dr. Yarde, I have a favor to ask for, and I wonder if you’d be willing to hear me out.”Kayson placed the glass of milk down and assented, “Go on, Mr. Phillius Sr. Felix and I are friends. You can just call me by my name.”Delighted, Carl asked, “I have a long-time friend whose bodyguard is injured. I wonder i
Carl and his family went over to welcome their guests while Felix greeted them happily. “Grandpa Pattingson!”The old man, who was wearing a loose track jacket with eyeglasses, smiled and greeted him back. “Felix, I heard your grandpa say that you’ve done a good job this time.”“I did no such thing. Kayson’s the amazing one here,” Felix replied.Grandpa Pattingson, whose full name was Waylon Pattignson, was the number one decision-maker in Skyriv.Carl introduced the old man to Kayson. “This is Waylon Pattingson, the man who calls the shots in Skyriv.”Kayson went up to him and greeted him politely. Waylon seemed friendly and did not give off any sense of authoritative pressure.As the group entered the villa, Waylon got to the point shortly.“Kayson, Carl mentioned that you might be able to treat Swenson’s injury. That’s why I came.”He sounded serious as he promised, “If you really heal him, I will owe you a big favor.”Kayson glanced at the old man who had come with Waylon
Time was passing slowly.Fifty minutes or so later, the door to the treatment door was opened and a 35-year-old man came out. Other than Waylon, everyone else was stunned.None of them knew who this man was.Waylon’s eyes were wide in shock, and his voice was thick with exhilaration. “Mr. Windsor, you… you recovered?”Everyone else was stunned. None of them could believe that the man standing in front of them was Swenson, the old man who had just had one foot in the grave. Swenson nodded as a smile flashed across his face. “Pattingson, Dr. Yarde cured me.” Waylon was beyond delighted as he nodded. “Great! This is great!” One could tell how delighted he was judging from his expression and tone. Kayson emerged from the treatment room, and Swenson’s attitude toward him seemed different. He respected him a lot now.“Mr. Yarde, this way, please!” He let Kayson walk in front of him.Kayson did not say anything, and the two of them walked down the stairs. Everyone was sizing
Kayson pulled the Ninth Lightning Serum out. Chase had been to Admiralporium’s headquarters before, so he knew what the Ninth Lightning Serum looked like and he recognized it in an instant.It looked exactly like the one he had seen in the photo.“Mr. Yarde, may I know where you got it?” “I stole it,” Kayson replied indifferently. Then, he ignored Chase’s surprise and began the treatment process. Chase still couldn’t come around to his senses after a long time.‘He stole it? How bold!’After all, only the strongest people could obtain the Ninth Lightning Serum, so he found it hard to believe that Kayson had been able to get such a valuable treasure from someone else. “Ah!”While he was immersed in his thoughts, he screamed as he felt a powerful energy that seemed able to rip his body apart erupt inside of him.“Quiet!” Kayson frowned. “You're a big man. How can you not be able to bear a little pain? Is the chief of Admiralporium so lousy?” Chase shuddered and gnashed his
Chase couldn’t give him an exact answer. “Well… Maybe in 10 days or a half month?”Suddenly, Chase’s eyes turned stern, and he added, “Mr. Yarde, the inspector from Eternalporium will come to Skyriv soon. So if it’s not absolutely necessary, don’t kill any fighters for now.” Kayson was slightly confused after he heard what Chase said. “Eternalporium?”“Yeah,” Chase replied. “The role of Admiralporium for fighters is similar to the role of the police department for common folk. “I’m sure you must’ve realized this as well. We don’t really step into every fight and feud between fighters. Someone must report it to us first before we can start an investigation or arrest someone.” Kayson nodded. Since Chase hadn’t taken his ID back yet, he was still a member of Admiralporium's special task force and he had a basic grasp of why Admiralporium should exist. “Unlike Admiralporium, Eternalporium has the power to act directly. Even Admiralporium has to cooperate with Eternalporium, and i
Outside the ward…Kayson asked, “Have you found the culprit?”Tyrone shook his head. “Not yet. But one thing we’re very sure of is that he’s coming for Jeremy’s life.” He paused for a moment then, as something occurred to him. He looked at Kayson and said apologetically, “Kayson, there’s one more thing…“About the Dickinson International Project… I’m sorry, but I can’t give it to Wolfenden Corp.”Kayson was stunned. “Why?” “Now that Mr. Whitman was transferred away, the new guy who took over his position isn’t on good terms with us. I’m afraid he won’t do us the favor.”The Tinsleys had a big influence in Skyspring, but they were not the largest family.Kayson frowned. Dickinson International was essential to Wolfenden Corp. It was their ticket into Skyspring’s market.However, since Michael, the original person in charge of this project, had been removed from his position, everything would become uncertain, and the ownership of Dickinson International might not fall into
Kayson left the Tinsley Mansion after he gave them a prescription.He did not plan to return to Clouspring for the time being. Even though Michael wasn’t there, the Whitmans wouldn’t go down so easily.Regardless of who the Osborns had sent, they would need some time to finish their preparations before they could take any action. Right now, whoever dared go against the Wolfendens in Clouspring would be courting death. Not only was Wolfenden Corp. protected by a group of capitalists, but they also had the impregnable local forces on their side. Anyone who had the guts to go against them would be hitting a rock with an egg. Kayson fell into thought as he walked across the street. He could ask Waylon for help, but there would be a limit to it. Waylon wouldn’t mind helping him with some trivial matters, but if the situation in Skyspring was revealed, there was a huge possibility that he wouldn’t help him. Unless he got closer to Waylon...Someone from Skyspring was plotting a
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
