Upon saying that, Leon waved his hand and said, “I’m leaving. We shall go our separate ways from now on, and we’re not connected in any way!”Kayson furrowed his eyebrows. ‘Leon turned against me so quickly, huh?”“Master Jourdain, I won’t stop you if you’re leaving, but can you please provide me with some intel about the Cadogans before you leave?”Leon dropped his usual enthusiastic behavior and said coldly, “The Cadogans are a top force in Metrocity with countless skilled fighters employed under them. They have masters guarding their doors and grandmasters protecting them.“A smasher like me will only be given a lowly position in the Cadogans with great effort.“You’re young and exceptionally gifted indeed. In fact, you can even become a smasher or warlord within a short period.“However, it’s a waste that the Cadogans can still kill you with ease even if you advance further in your training!”Leon felt furious in his heart. Kayson had healed him and saved his life, so he was
After the loss at the Imperial Club, Taylor, Randall, and the others appeared aggrieved in Admiralporium.Channing had already regained consciousness after being treated with medicine at Admiralporium. He loathed Kayson very much.“Uncle Taylor, why didn’t you defeat Kayson despite your capability? Did you lose on purpose?”Channing had never been beaten up so badly all his life. He was a member of the Cadogans and would never put up with that!Taylor’s expression was cold. “If not out of respect that you’re a Cadogan, I would have slapped you to death because of what you just said to me.”Channing’s expression changed ever so slightly, and he suppressed his anger before saying, “Uncle Taylor, that’s not what I mean…”Meanwhile, a loud, clear voice sounded from the outside. Randall stood up and said furiously, “How dare you behave atrociously at Admiralporium’s door!?”Taylor appeared agitated. He sensed the presence of the person outside before expressing his shock. “It’s a s
“I must catch up on my five-ele energy and perfect it as soon as possible. It’s a waste that Tearock Town’s energy-charged land has an adequate supply of spirit energy, but it’s still not enough to allow me to advance to another level.“Also, a portion of light energy is with Master Gray while the other portion is with Eden Joy’s owner…”Meanwhile, Kayson was under immense pressure. Formidable enemies surrounded him. He was not afraid of fighting them one by one, but they may not necessarily adhere to the fighting etiquettes.Moreover, he had learned from Gael about the capability of Eden Joy’s owner that was no weaker than Taylor. In fact, it was even possible that the person was even more powerful than Taylor!“Codger, he owed a favor, yet I have to return the favor. I could leave the matter at that, but he has also emptied out all my savings…”Kayson was depressed. Had the old man not owed the Wolfendens a favor, Kayson would still be living a carefree life in the countrysi
In the evening, Kayson departed for the appointment with Sadie. It did not take long before Kayson noticed that the car was heading in a rather familiar direction. He was astounded by the time the car was parked at the car park. It was actually Moonly Olympus that he had visited before!Kayson asked, “Ms. Wolfenden, who are we going to have dinner with tonight? Is he an influential businessman?”Sadie said, “In truth, it has been decided at a higher level that Dickinson International is to be given to Wolfenden Corp. We’re inviting the person-in-charge for project review, Mr. Nigel Jensen, to dinner.“We will be interacting with Mr. Jensen frequently from now on. In addition, we owe it to Dickinson International, so it’s only appropriate for us to take him out to dinner.”“I see…”Kayson did not comment further because he would never tell Sadie that this happened because he contributed in secret.He had exposed his influence to Sadie two times in the past, and he could alread
The president would never show himself easily, yet no one had the courage not to take him seriously. “Hello, Mr. Jackson.”Seth said smilingly, “Hello. I heard from Mr. Russell that you’re acquainted with Mr. Yarde, right?”Sia was stunned for a moment before she said, “I suppose you can say that.”Seth said politely, “I’m planning on buying dinner for Mr. Yarde tonight, and I hope that you can do me a favor then, Ms. Yann. Please help me to put in a good word for me in Superlunar Deck.”‘Oh God…’ Sia was already dumbfounded by how Mr. Jackson seemed to be afraid of Kayson.…In Icepine Deck, Nigel arrived not long after Kayson and Sadie took a seat.Nigel said slightly apologetically, “I’m sorry for the long wait, Ms. Wolfenden.”Sadie said, “No, we’ve only just arrived too. Would you like to order first, Mr. Jensen?”Nigel waved dismissively with flagging interest. “It’s fine. You can just order for yourself, and we’ll adjourn early once we’re done with the meal.”Sadie f
Nigel’s expression was calm, and he did not appear to vent his anger on Sadie. “Ms. Wolfenden, let’s part ways after this meal, and we shall never cross paths again. I’ve already done everything that I can within my capability by coming to this appointment tonight.”Sadie cracked a smile so forceful that it was a hideous smile. She calmed herself with great effort and said, “Mr. Jackson, I’m still very grateful for everything you did regardless. We must enjoy a good feast tonight.”Nigel nodded insincerely. He could not possibly not eat anything since he was here in person.The meal was carried out in a rather tense ambiance as Sadie and Nigel were not in the mood to chat leisurely.Both of them finished the meal quickly, and Nigel got up in preparation to leave because they were not in the mood to chat.Sadie wanted to send Nigel off, so she got up and sent Nigel to the door while Kayson followed after her.They headed downstairs, yet they bumped into a group of people aroun
Gibson did not admit it, but his eyes were trained on Kayson. “Who are you!?”Kayson shrugged, replying calmly, “Kayson Yarde, The Tetrad’s team leader of the project department in Wolfenden Corp.“This is Wolfenfen Corp.’s GM, Ms. Wolfenden. It looks like you haven’t done enough homework since you do not know what she looks like, huh, Mr. Fisher?”“What? Both of you are from Wolfenden Corp.!?”Gibson was offended. How had Nigel lost his job? It was because he had given Dickinson International to Sadie Wolfenden. When he took over Nigel’s place, his first task was to pass the project to someone else. Despite that, he was later notified that the project was passed back to Wolfenden Corp., and that infuriated him because it caused the bigshot to berate him even when he knew that the latter was only venting on him and did not mean to blame him.That said, he was still enraged about it and was incredibly pissed by Wolfenden Corp.“Okay, I didn’t expect to run into you here!” Gibson g
Gibson lost his composure right away, hurrying to ask, “Mr. Jackson, d-did I say something wrong?“Pray tell! I’ll correct myself! I’ll definitely correct myself, Mr. Jackson!”He had just taken this position for a handful of days—not even warmed to the position yet—and he had to return the position? He would be the butt of the joke!“Scram!” snarled Seth. “Piss off right now, or things are going to get ugly for you!”Gibson was baffled, falling to his butt with a stagger. The few people who came with him—one of them had the intention to buy him a meal but left with a scowl after seeing what the situation had turned into. The others dared not linger either and left hastily.Seth approached Nigel with a warm smile, like he was meeting an old friend.“Mr. Jensen, I’ve been blind to promote a dodgy man like Gibson and let you down. Please don’t hold it to your heart.“I’ll give you back your original position first thing tomorrow, and I promise all will be taken care of properly.”
