Sadie deadpanned, “Be serious!”“I’m being honest, Ms. Wolfenden.”Kayson’s expression was utterly serious. “That’s what he said. But I didn’t agree to it immediately. Seth Jackson isn’t exactly a good man.”Sadie furrowed her brows. She was not buying what Kayson said at all and assumed that he was reluctant to tell her the truth, so she did not pursue it but asked, “How did you get acquainted with Mr. Jackson?”She had gotten a glimpse into the background and influence of the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce when she went out with Sia. Sia did not seem to mind talking to her, so she told her a lot of things—including how the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce was linked to plenty of business tycoons. If outsiders were intending to break into Skyspring, it would be much more convenient with the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce’s help.“Oh, I beat his son up,” answered Kayson.Sadie rubbed between her brows, feeling an impending headache. “Can’t you be more serious?”‘Not like you’ll belie
Kayson was indifferent to it and replied firmly, “Mr. Pattingson, it’s not that I don’t want to make peace with the Cadogans. It’s that they won’t possibly make peace with me.“I have to give up on Sadie and family if I want peace with the Cadogans. That’s impossible.”No matter how much Kayson grumbled about it, his mentor, the person who had raised him, owed a favor to the Wolfendens. Even if he had to sacrifice himself, he would return the favor.Waylon advised, “Kayson, I can be the mediator and restrain both sides so the Cadogans won’t corner the Wolfendens…”“Do you think people would be willing to be oppressed for life, Mr. Pattingson?” Kayson asked instead.Waylon fell silent. Did he have to think about this question? Not at all! After a moment, he said, “If you meet other troubles, you can contact me. I’ll help you where I can.”Kayson understood what he meant and replied with a smile, “Okay.”Waylon was obviously withdrawing as well. The Cadogans were like a massive bo
“That’s it!”Waylon shook his head. “Such a waste of potential. If he hadn’t offended the Cadogans, he might have turned out to be the second Living Reaper…”It was a pity that destiny turned out this way!At Admiralporium…Taylor put his phone down with a glower and an angry snort.Channing snarled as well, “How dare Waylon Pattingson intervene in the Cadogan’s affair!?”Just moments earlier, his grandfather had called him to stop him from settling the score with Kayson this time. This meant that he had been beaten up for nothing—and without a channel to vent!Taylor commented darkly, “The old man’s at this age, yet he’s gotten silly this once… Listen to your grandfather first.“I’m sure Kayson won’t be able to hold back from getting into another conflict with us. Will Waylon dare clash with the Cadogans just for him?”Channing huffed viciously. “I certainly hope so. Then he’ll have to pay for it!”Jude, whose injuries were semi-recovered, sat on the side, scowling in silenc
All who were present glanced at Hudson. Sadie was his grandniece regardless, but he was more merciless than all of them there.Taylor frowned. “This can’t be done. The Wolfendens can be picked on and oppressed, but they mustn’t be killed.”The others were astonished, wearing curious expressions, but Taylor did not go into it.Sir Osborn gave it a thought and said, “Just send someone to fight for the project with the Wolfendens then.”Taylor nodded. “I feel the same way, actually. Is there a suitable candidate here? Or is anyone willing to step up?”Falon spoke up. “Patrol Yost, I have a candidate. I think all of you here know Eddy Perez?”“I do. Isn’t he close to you, Millers?” asked Clifford.Falon scoffed. “Kayson’s had a conflict with Eddy. He’ll be happy to go against him if he's given a chance!”Taylor asked, “Is this Eddy Perez reliable?”“Don’t worry, Patrol Yost. Eddy’s absolutely dependable. He’s a businessman worth billions of dollars after all,” answered Falon.Tay
“If all of you can help me chase Farris out of Soulspring Pharmaceutical, Soulspring Pharmaceutical can contribute to getting rid of Kayson as well!”Taylor thought about it but did not reply straight away.Carlson added. “Soulspring Pharmaceutical has a warlord as well!“If I’m able to have more say, the assistant manager on my side can ask this warlord for help!”Taylor smiled instantly. “No problem! Leave this Farris Townsend to us. What do the rest of you think?”“Hah, if we could gain another warlord to our side, it’d be great. We certainly have no objection!” Falon took the initiative to chorus the sentiment. This was his chance to shine and earn favors from Taylor and Channing!The others could only follow suit, not daring to oppose.Taylor nodded with a smile, happy with how the meeting with the various major influences turned out today.…Another night slipped by, and it was the day of Dickinson International’s bidding.Sadie had come to Skyspring in advance becaus
Just when even Kayson thought that nothing would go wrong, a voice spoke up abruptly.“$35,000,000!”The few people Nigel had arranged looked over in shock. Sadie panicked inwardly as well.“How could this happen… It’s exceeded the base price!”Kayson could not help frowning. Was this Nigel’s setup? It seemed impossible!Sadie gnashed her teeth and made another bid. “$36,000,000!”“$42,000,000!”The middle-aged man with his hair gelled back seemed to have scoffed before making his bid.Kayson was sure that the man was not part of Nigel’s plan now, so it meant that he was simply a troublemaker.Sadie was pale. $42,000,000 had already exceeded her budget.Kayson pulled out his phone to ask Royce who the man was, only for the latter and Beckham’s texts to come one after another. He read the texts with furrowed brows. Eddy Perez? He had some impression of him!Back when he was in Clouspring at Parfume Bar, a Hans Perez wanted to take advantage of Wanda, and he had saved the girl
Jeremy’s network of intelligence was not too bad. He soon had the Perezs investigated and sent the findings to Kayson.Kayson browsed it swiftly and commented, “The Millers… Falon Miller’s obsessed with getting even, huh?”Truthfully, he did not think he had too much a conflict with the Millers. It was just the case of Michael and him not doing Falon a favor previously. The Millers had attacked the Whitmans, and Kayson was close to Michael. How was it a problem that he ignored the Millers and did not do them any favor?Michael was nearly doomed from getting conspired against by the Osborns and the Millers, and it had been Waylon who helped to resolve the man’s crisis. Kayson had not even planned to settle the score with the Millers and Osborns over this, but Falon was springing up at this moment. It seemed that the man was pretty tactless.Jeremy wore a grim look. “Kayson, this isn’t as simple. If it were only the Millers, Falon wouldn’t dare pick on you so openly.”Kayson’s name
Jeremy nodded in a severe manner. “If you don’t stop being so polite, then you will not be welcome in my house anymore.”Soon, Seth came and recounted everything in detail.Kayson fell into thought for a while and said, “If I want to take back Dickinson International, I need to start with the Perezs?”“Yes, and you need to do it fast!” Seth said, “If not, once he transfers the ownership of the project to a stronger organization, it’ll be even harder for you to get it back. Also, there’s something I think I should let you know first, Mr. Yarde.”Kayson, Jeremy, and Shyla all turned their heads in chorus and looked at this capable president of the Rivspring Chamber of Commerce, who had connections with most of the enterprises in Skyspring.Seth’s face was stern as he said, “I don’t know why the Cadogans are targeting Ms. Wolfenden and the others, but if we can’t get rid of Taylor and Channing, it’ll be dangerous for Ms. Wolfenden to stay in Skyspring.”“I know. So I have another pl
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
