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
Unlike Hank, Terry’s face was filled with joy when he saw the two grandmasters.“Master Parvell, Master Koch!” He greeted both of them respectfully.Master Parvell nodded and turned his head to look at Kayson. Suddenly, Kayson felt a strong pressure as if the gravity around him had doubled. Master Koch’s face was dark as he growled, “Hank, get down on your knees!”His voice was booming like the knolls of a bell. Hank's head turned blank for a moment, and he bent his legs unconsciously. Kayson hastily helped him up from the floor and injected some energy into him to wake him up.Hank felt embarrassed even though he was a peak-level master after coming around to his senses.Master Koch raised his brows in surprise when he saw Kayson could easily dispel the pressure he applied on Hank. He said, “You’re a grandmaster at such a young age. This is something that can’t be easily achieved, so why must you seek death?”Kayson said calmly, “I don’t understand why you guys are so cocky
Terry let out a sarcastic smirk. He charged toward Hank as he was going to finish him off.At that moment, Kayson noticed Hank’s situation, and his face sank. He let out a deep roar damaging both Master Parvell and Master Koch.Seizing the chance while both of them staggered, Kayson activated his Odinous Power and delivered two punches at them. Their chests caved in, and they flew toward the back, crashing into the wall with a meaty smack and raising a storm of dust.By the time the dust dissipated, both of them were dead.Terry’s head went blank from the shockwave. His eyes, ears, nose, and mouth were bleeding, and he was kneeling on the floor with his legs trembling in fear.Kayson walked a few steps forward and kicked Terry away. After that, he went to check on Hank’s condition.He inserted a few silver needles into Hank and injected some of his evergreen energy into him. The wound on Hank’s chest began to heal, and he woke up. “Thank… Thank you very much, Mr. Yarde.”“Do
