Kayson asked flatly, “Don’t you have a similar tactic that controlled the driver you killed in the accident?”Ryker seemed taken aback. Then, he looked desperate, as though he had surrendered himself to fate a few seconds later.Kayson went over to a tree and tore its bark off to retrieve a yellow charm with a soundwave-like scripture drawn on it.“You found this too…”Ryker looked at Kayson bitterly with terror in his gaze.Shien asked curiously when he and the captains saw the yellow charm in Kayson’s hand, “Mr. Yarde, what’s this?”“A Voicetap Charm. You can treat it as a tapping device.”The captains were shocked. Did it mean that Ryker had eavesdropped on all the conversations they’d had here?Chase gasped. “I didn’t even realize…”Realization struck him pretty hard in that instant—this was how Ryker could keep playing with Admiralporium. Not only was he confident about his speed, but he was also a cautious person.Kayson said, “Chief Rivera, I’ll go back with Uncle Jere
Ever since Livia was saved in Greenspring, she had never gone out alone.“I’m not sure either. No one’s picking up when I call Mr. Veal.”Kayson asked, “I’ll make a trip to Heathein then. Uncle Royce, do you know where their headquarters is?”“That I do, but is it too abrupt to just go over like this?”Kayson shook his head. “Not fulfilling what he’s promised me is not something he can just get by with.”As he spoke, the rumble of the engine was heard from the door. Kayson’s gaze felt off when he scanned with mind expansion and said, “Looks like I don’t have to go there now. Hank’s here.”The father and daughter were surprised. As expected, Hank’s voice came from the mansion’s door that was left open.“Mr. Shore, may I come in?”Royce had no idea of the intention of his visit, but he dared not mistreat a peak-level master.“Mr. Veal, come in!”Hank walked in, looking slightly pale, like he was injured. He was startled when he came in and saw Kayson before he greeted dryly, “I
Kayson as well as Royce and Livia were surprised. Hank was kicked out of Heathein? His son was the one who said it, so there was no way it was made up. What was going on?The few of them stayed silent. Hank asked steely, looking at Josiah, “What’s the matter? Make it clear!”Josiah widened his eyes at the sight of Kayson and shuddered instinctively. He did not forget how Kayson had defeated his father.“Mr. Y-Yarde, you’re here too…”Josiah was awkward seeing Kayson but dared not just ignore him.“Mn, go on.”Kayson’s gaze lingered on Josiah cryptically, but he said nothing more. It was just that a silver needle suddenly appeared between his fingers for him to fiddle with.Josiah stood up and asked, “C-Can I talk while sitting down?”“Of course.” Royce nodded.“Thank you, Mr. Shore…”Josiah took a spot to Livia’s right and said, “I just went back to Heathein, and the people from the Ether and Ground Hall stopped me.“I asked them what happened, and they said that my father’s
Kayson killed the Vodu Worm and shoved Josiah aside before looking at Livia. “It’s alright now.”Livia forced herself to calm down and nod. She scowled and looked like she was going to throw up.“The worm’s… so disgusting!”Kayson covered it with an ashtray and removed the needle on Josiah.Kayson told Hank, who was both angered and surprised, “What’s in Josiah is a Mind Control Vodu. The person who used it set the order in advance.“When the timing was right, the Vodu Worm would control Josiah’s consciousness to execute the set order.”He then looked at the Vodu Worm pinned against the wall. “That’s a Devour Vodu where the worm sucks a person’s energy dry within an incredibly short period.”Livia was horrified. Suck a person’s energy dry? She nearly became a mummy, then? It was vicious!Hank spoke anxiously, “Mr. Yarde, I don’t think this has anything to do with my son…”Kayson did not say anything decisive but asked, “You seem to know who’s behind this judging by how you loo
Kayson and Hank stepped in through the entrance of Heathein’s headquarters like it was their own place.Hank was the Stygian Hall’s chief, so the people of Heathein knew him.“Mr. Veal, you’ve been chased out of the organization. You can’t enter without the chiefs’ permission!” a peak energy fighter told Hank looking at him in disdain.Hank looked at him coldly. “You’re from the Ochre Hall, right? I’m going to get even with that old witch. If you stop me, I’ll attack you as well!”Nancy, that old witch, how dare she put the Vodu Worm in his son? She had crossed the line!If Kayson had not been at the Shores’ today and Josiah had managed to harm Livia, Hank’s family would have been doomed.The fighter who warned Hank scowled. As an Ochre member, though, there was no way he could pretend he heard nothing when someone insulted his chief. His gaze took an icy tint as he cried, “Men! Hank Veal’s intruding Heathein by force and insulting Ms. Frost! He should be penalized!”Rustling no
“See that, guys? He's the one who's picking fights!”After that, Terry turned into a blur and grabbed Hank’s throat with a claw strike.He was aiming for Hank’s vital spot, and it was apparent that he was going to kill him.Hank unleashed his Titanium Leo-roar. The sound wave it released was so powerful that it shattered the wall.Unfortunately, Hank’s Titanium Leo-roar might be effective toward fighters below the grandmaster level, but it was ineffective toward Terry, someone who was already a grandmaster for a long time.Hank’s expression changed. He hastily halted his attack and lifted his hands to protect his neck.Hank left the ground and flew toward the back.The attack was so powerful that the bones in his arms cracked.Terry narrowed his eyes. It seemed to him that Hank’s strength was nearly on par with grandmasters.If it weren't for the fact that his throat was damaged and couldn't handle too much inner energy, his Titanium Leo-roar might have done some damage to him
Terry chided inwardly. He tried to ignore the pain that was screaming at him and said, “I didn’t expect you to come here, Mr. Kayson. I’m so sorry for the trouble.“I’m Terry Wagner, the Ether Hall’s chief.”Kayson threw him a sidelong glance but did not say anything in return. Terry felt insulted, but he dared not lash out at Kayson since the latter had killed a peak-stage grandmaster.“I’m sure there is a misunderstanding, Mr. Yarde. This isn’t a good place to talk, so why don’t we go inside first?”Kayson was not worried about him plotting anything. He nodded, and they went into the meeting hall inside.While Terry sent someone to fetch Kayson a cup of tea, he tended to the wound on his hand.Hank was the first one to talk as he shouted, “You b*tch! How dare you curse my son? Do you think I don’t dare to kill you!?”Nancy frowned deeply and said, “Mr. Veal, I was just following orders. Besides, I didn’t plan to take your son’s life at all. I just controlled him to do somethin
If the president was coming back, Kayson had to run right now.Kayson thought for a while and asked, “It's a fact that someone tried to assassinate Livia. How are you going to resolve the misunderstanding, Mr. Wagner?”Terry let out a snort inwardly when he heard what Kayson said.‘It seems like he has chickened out.’However, he thought it was normal. After all, Hank knew very well how strong their president was. No matter how strong Kayson was, there was no way he could go head up against their president.Besides, he had a close relationship with their president. With their president standing on his side, he did not have to fear Kayson.Terry said, “Simple. Mr. Yarde, you’re powerful, so why must you associate yourself with Royce? You should join Heathein. I’m sure everyone here will be happy if you join us.“If you join us, you can become one of the elders right away. You don’t have to do anything, and you’ll get a dividend of $12,000,000 every year!” Kayson smiled. “You wa
