Kayson nodded. When Urias took him to see Leon, he had already understood what had happened.Leon was appalled as he asked, “What does the smasher Core do?”Kayson explained, “The practice of a smasher who consumes it will be enhanced substantially, but the effect isn’t the best.“If a pre-celestial fighter takes it, they can achieve a breakthrough to the smasher level.”Leon’s eyes bulged, seemingly taken aback, as he growled, “That scum! I’ve been good to him, and this is what he does to me!”The thought of it made him more grateful toward Kayson and Urias. At the same time, he felt ashamed for how he had treated them.Kayson reminded him, “If your disciple wants to become a smasher by sacrificing you, the injuries you sustained a few years ago might not be an accident.“Of course, this is your private affair, and I’m just bringing it up in passing. Consider it on your own.”Leon’s gaze was reverent. “I’ll remember your reminder and be more careful, Dr. Yarde.”At that momen
Cayden was overjoyed. “Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Yarde!”He was overwhelmed with emotions. He had already lost hope because he had asked all the doctors he could, and there was really nobody else. If he wanted someone better, it would be doctors in Metrocity, and there was nothing he had to be able to commission them.He did not even have the money to pay them. If regular doctors could work, Soulspring Pharmaceutical would not need subordinates like them doing the job.Cayden’s father was a doctor and had been in the pharmaceutical industry. He had taught Cayden since the latter was a young boy that he ought to have his own judgment scale no matter what he did in the future. One end of the scale was to be his conscience, and another end was profit. If the profit end tipped lower than the conscience end, the business was not a deal.That was why Cayden made average money since he entered the workforce. He did not make it big in wealth, but he made enough.Kayson now understood
“I don’t know if the Skyspring Wolfendens will still target me, but you can fight, so stay here with me. The second room on the right upstairs is yours.”This place was not too far from Noella’s place, and Kayson found the arrangement alright, so he did not say much.Sadie took her suitcase and told him, “I’ll wash up and take you out to shop for clothes.”‘Take me?’ Kayson looked bewildered, but Sadie did not say more. She went upstairs to take a shower, leaving Kayson to wait downstairs.A little over ten minutes later, the doorbell rang.Kayson opened the door to see that it was Chelsea, Sadie’s secretary, when she was in Clouspring. The latter froze when she saw Kayson, her jaw dropping to form an “O” with her mouth, and looked utterly surprised.Kayson knew that sh*t had hit the ceiling upon taking in the situation.Both of them stared at each other—Kayson stayed silent while Chelsea was stupefied.It was still Kayson who broke the silence afterward. “Ms. Hayes, come in an
Guests bustled in the hall of the dinner event.Wolfenden Corp. was not exactly famous. Its fame was only prominent locally. Of course, it took Skyriv by surprise previously when it rose up the rank by acquiring the Gillete Group. In addition to Apex Investment Partners’ support, Wolfenden Corp. had actually made itself known to many Skyriv businesses and entrepreneurs within a short period.Even then, Wolfenden Corp. did not enter the market of Skyspring formally. Dickinson International was going to be an opportunity.Wolfenden Corp. was not famous enough, but Sadie was gorgeous. She was at least one of the top three among all the women present tonight.Those who were able to attend this event were businessmen worth over billions of dollars, bringing along their rich, graceful wives, beautiful girlfriends, or youthful mistresses. No matter how striking their partners were, though, they could never compare to Sadie with her light makeup.Once she entered, she attracted a lot of a
“You’re still as annoying,” Sadie commented with a straight face and planned to ignore her and take Kayson elsewhere.Yolanda mocked her upon seeing she was leaving, “Feeling insecure, Sadie? Answer me if you have the guts!“You wouldn’t dare, would you? I think you snuck yourself in! The general manager of Wolfenden Corp. snuck into the high society’s event without an invitation…“Say, if this were to be the headline tomorrow, wouldn’t it be interesting?“Our old friends would laugh their ass off if they learned you did something so embarrassing. Gosh, I cringe just thinking about it!”Sadie turned around with an icy gaze. “Are you trying to accuse me?”“So what if I am?” Yolanda retorted proudly. “My boyfriend’s company runs social media accounts and manages many influencers!“As long as I make a request, the accounts will publish what I want them to by tomorrow. Just a word from me, and I’ll ruin you.”Sadie kept a straight face, but it was undeniable that she was beginning
Juneau was startled, not understanding what Kayson meant. While Yolanda was also confused, she knew that it was not something good. She pointed at Kayson and huffed. “You’re just an employee under Sadie. This isn’t your place to speak!“There are so many high-profile individuals here, yet someone like you managed to sneak in. Infuriating!“Sadie Wolfenden, don’t drag us down just because you don’t mind lowering your status!”Juneau scowled as well. “Any Tom, Dick, and Harry think they can just waltz in! And to boast at me. You say I’m going to be doomed. I’d like to know how that’s going to work.”“Me too.”It was then a tall young man, about 1.8 meters in height, walked over with a sexy woman. He wore a scoff as he glanced at Sadie before taunting, “Sadie Wolfenden, it’s been a while. Didn’t expect you to be so shameless.“Do you know who’s hosting this dinner tonight? The richest man in Skyriv, Royce Shore!“If he learns of what happened tonight, I’m certain Wolfenden Corp. wi
Yolanda wanted to say more but suddenly felt a suffocating sense of pressure coming at her and making her teeth clatter.Juneau was shocked by Kayson’s gaze as well and cried, “Security! Where’s the security? There are two trespassers here!“What are you guys doing? Waiting for Mr. Shore to question and punish you?!”The security guards hurried over, looking panicky, while the security guard chief wore an aggressive scowl.“You! Leave right now! Don’t blame me for being harsh otherwise!”Sadie quickly answered, “We’ll leave now—”Kayson, on the other hand, looked at the security chief calmly. “You’ll probably end up worse if we leave.”The security chief was enraged. He would be doomed if the other bigshots were upset! His gaze turned sharp as he ordered, “Chase them out!”The moment his order left his mouth, the other security guards wanted to shove Kayson and Sadie out with their batons.Sadie quickly got up to yank Kayson’s arm and said shakily, “Don’t do anything. We’ll le
Juneau was in disbelief. “You! Are you crazy!?”Judging by Kayson’s tone, he didn’t even care about the Osborns!Kayson could not be bothered as he asked aloud, “Where are the Osborns? Get your asses here!”Juneau’s legs nearly gave out on him. ‘Goodness, the man has really lost his mind!’Sadie felt like her head was going to explode, feeling a loud buzz as she looked at Kayson. She only had one thought in her mind. ‘Wolfenden Corp.’s plan to enter the Skyspring market is foiled!’In a room upstairs of the dinner event venue…A fat middle-aged man pushed the door open and entered anxiously to go to another middle-aged man who was talking to someone. He took a deep breath and announced with a wince, “Mr. Osborn, something happened!”Mr. Osborn frowned and asked, “What is it?”“There’s a fight at the outdoor area, and someone’s yelling to have the Osborns get their asses over there. He’s absolutely brazen!”Mr. Osborn glowered while the middle-aged man seated across him arched
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
