Adalon cackled and mocked, “Of course! I have to look for other ways since the forceful attacks didn’t work!“I know why you dare come for me now. You thought I was not trained in martial arts, so you wanted to defeat me as soon as possible, right?“As long as you tackled me fast, there wouldn’t be any danger, and you could leave safely.“That’s why you came empty-handed. You didn’t bring any tonic herbs. Kid, you’re too full of yourself!”Toward the end of Adalon’s speech, his eyes were closed as he drew something on the ground—the pattern for the Killing Curse!Kayson was just before him, and the former’s energy was everywhere. There was no medium needed. Adalon executed the Killing Curse on the spot. The Killing Curse would only be more powerful, given the proximity!Kayson could not help saying, “Hey, I’m warning you not to use the Killing Curse on me…”Adalon scoffed inwardly and sealed his sense of hearing to ignore Kayson.Kayson opened his mouth despite his speechlessne
Adalon suppressed his shock and said begrudgingly, “Kid, it’s useless. You won’t possibly be able to break this defense fort formed by my Rock Charmboard!”Indifferent, Kayson slapped a heavy palm on the shield, and explosive flame energy erupted through a terrifying compression.Flame visibly shot toward left and right. The powerful, fiery attack had even caused Kayson to step back.The sound of something cracking rang. Adalon, who had been so sure that it was impossible to break through his defenses, froze.The shield shattered and flew off before another crack sounded—the Rock Charmboard split into two as well.Kayson looked pained when he saw that. The Rock Charmboard had impressive defensive strength. According to his judgment, it was a notch higher than Steelification Doyen’s defense. If he could keep the Rock Charmboard, he could give it to others as a life-saving trick.“My Rock Charmboard…”Adalon stared at the shattered charmboard on the ground with a stupefied express
Although Adalon had nearly killed Kayson, he thought he was quite lucky when he obtained the lightsoul energy. After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained.He kept the crystalized lightsoul energy and went downstairs to leave Eden Joy.Downstairs, there were already people handling Adalon’s body. They were Eden Joy’s employees, who fell to their knees in panic when they saw Kayson.Kayson was rendered speechless, walking out of the building and leaving Eden Joy without saying much.It was only then the employees dared lift their heads up. They sympathized with Adalon’s death. How did the one powerful and prospering Eden Joy suddenly become like this? The second-in-command was actually killed in the headquarters!If the owner of Eden Joy found out, he might go crazy from rage since he had high regard for Adalon.Someone came in hastily at that moment and looked horrified when he saw Adalon’s dead body. The employees who were cleaning up cried out in distress, “Guardian Trade!”…
Kayson’s eyebrows were furrowed the whole way since he left Admiralporium.Admiralporium was down. It had become Taylor’s plaything. If the chief and vice-chief, like Chase and all, had yet to return, Skyriv’s Admiralporium was going to take Taylor’s last name.After contemplating, Kayson found it necessary to call Felicity. Once the call was connected, he asked, “Captain Lawrence, are you free now? Let’s meet somewhere?”At Waylon’s office…Waylon did not welcome Taylor because the latter’s visit only meant he was up to something, but he was scared that he would intervene and stop him. Despite that, there was no way he could confront Taylor and go into a conflict with him, especially when the latter brought the kid from the Cadogans too.Channing behaved well. Even if it were a pretense, he had to act convincing enough in front of Waylon. Although he was a Cadogan from Metrocity, he was not the decision-maker of the family and had to show adequate respect when he met someone of h
Taylor briefly told Channing about the phone conversation on the way to Eden Joy. Upon arrival, both Guardian Trade and Guardian Cornelius were around looking distressed.“Patrol Yost!”Both of them got up to bow when they saw Taylor. It was as if the latter’s eyes were about to spit fire from how furious he was.“What happened?”Guardian Trade could only pull out the surveillance recording to show Taylor.“Kayson Yarde…”Taylor was enraged as he shouted, “Didn’t Guardian Palace make sure that he wouldn’t wake up? Why is he fine!?”Guardian Trade sighed. “Guardian Palace was probably delusional. He was obsessed with pretty girls all day long, and his sanity was probably sucked dry by women. That must be why he didn’t make sure of Kayson’s state.”In the surveillance recording, Master Gray spat blood for no reason—not that Taylor could figure out why. He cursed inwardly. Even their defeat felt absurd!He was incredibly vexed. Since Kayson was fine, there had to be changes to th
At a café…Across Kayson sat the three Admiralporium captains, Felicity, Shien, and Campian.They had already talked, and as Kayson had expected, Taylor had forced them to take a leave of absence, the reason being that they were frequently out and were more tired these recent months.In fact, he was just seeking an excuse to kick them out of Admiralporium so that he could have control over the organization. He could unite the force and use it to his convenience, as well as cut Kayson’s monitor of Admiralporium.Felicity shrugged helplessly. “Mr. Yarde, we can only wait for Chief Rivera to return to be able to return to Admiralporium.”Campian glowered in slight rage. “Even if Taylor Yost comes from Eternalporium, he’s too domineering! How dare he take over Admiralporium directly!?”Chien seemed calmer as he commented, “After all, Vice Chief Zabka is on his side.”Felicity could not help grinning as she looked at Kayson. “Thank you for killing Randall, Mr. Yarde. He was a vice ch
Kayson was surprised. “Oh? It sounds like Chief Kline is pretty gutsy. He’ll step up for any member?”Felicity nodded. “As long as the member is right, he’ll support them, no matter their level.”Kayson’s interest in this chief was piqued. As long as the reasoning stood true, would the chief be willing to stand up against the domineering Cadogans for a regular member? This was entirely different from what he currently knew of Admiralporium!“Has it been very long since this Chief Kline of yours last returned to Skyriv?”Felicity nodded with a wry smile. “Yeah. Chief Kline’s met a bottleneck in his martial arts practice, so he’s often out in recent years.“Each time he leaves, it’ll be for a year or half of it, so the three vice chiefs are usually the ones running Admiralporium. Chief Kline later transferred the other two vice chiefs, and Chief Rivera’s the only one managing the organization.“It’s just that… Chief Rivera’s ability declined due to his injury, and it caused his aut
Kayson left some superficial injuries for Joaquin to take care of, lest Beckham left the hospital fine and dandy when he was just on the brink of death two hours ago. That would frighten others.Beckham told Kayson what happened.The three families had worked together and pulled all their connections to launch a massive attack on him. His company, Yodercity Development, was thrown into a dark whirlpool of troubles.First, the general manager he used to place a lot of trust in betrayed him and acquired significant company shares. Then, the board of directors picked on him and wanted to sack him from his position as the director.The seniors he used to trust so much had all taken the general manager’s side. This caused Beckham to lose his right over the company since their shares exceeded 50% combined. Beckham had unsurprisingly lost.That was fine. It was not like Beckham could not take the defeat. The business world was like a battlefield—rises and falls like this were the norm.
