“Grandpa Gomez, have a good rest first. I think you’ll be able to sleep all the way till the next day.”Brody was thrilled knowing that he could finally have a sound sleep, but he reminded, “Charis, be hospitable to Dr. Yarde!”Charis nodded profusely. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. Mr. Yarde’s our savior. I’ll treat him to the best of my ability!”It was only then Brody was assured and fell into slumber. It was apparent that the old man must have had it tough before this.Kayson and Charis closed the door after they left the room. Charis asked quickly, “Mr. Yarde, what do you like to eat? I’ll get them prepared right away! I’m an excellent cook!”Kayson did not reject having a meal there. He was not a picky eater, so he let Charis cook up whatever she wanted.Charis dashed into the kitchen and started getting busy. She was going to cook for Kayson with the best skills she had.Kayson sat on the couch and closed his eyes for a break, but his phone rang about ten minutes later. It was Na
In the hotel that Cecile was staying at…Hank kept Cecile behind him in the lobby on the first floor as he stared at the young man in front of him unkindly.The young man had a bandaged right hand as if he was badly injured, but he looked arrogant and brazen.“Tactless sc*m, how dare you poke your nose into my business? You think I’ll let you go so easily?”The young man was brazen. His tone brimmed with a domineering threat.Hank wore a grim look. The young man came from a major family in Eastsea, so he dared not act recklessly, but there was no way he would let Cecile be in danger with Kayson’s order.Cecile hid behind Hank. She was both nervous and fearful. She did not know Hank, but she guessed that Kayson must have sent him since he was protecting her.Hank spoke seriously. “You’re from Eastsea, sir, but the person behind Ms. Redcliff here is a bigshot in Skyspring. You can’t simply do what you want.”It seemed like Hank’s words provoked the young man as he raged. “What ki
After Cecile’s father passed away from the accident at the construction site, she had once lost hope for the future. It was Shyla and Kayson who helped her. Whether it was Shyla or Kayson, they were her new source of comfort.She looked at the man across from her with a resolute gaze as she asked, “You won’t keep scores if I leave with you?”The young man scrutinized Cecile. He was sure that he must have seen this face somewhere—at an important time too!“What’s your name?” the heir from Eastsea asked with a squint.“Cecile Redcliff.”“I’ve not heard of it…” the young man murmured softly before he scoffed in pomposity. “Hmph, smart of you. Come with me!”Appalled, Hank wanted to stop Cecile, but he paused and stopped moving next.“Hmph!” A snort resounded in the lobby before an icy voice spoke up loudly. “Stanley Leaf! Looks like breaking a hand of yours is a punishment too light!”The young heir from Eastsea widened his eyes in horror when he heard the voice. Snapping his head
Kayson significantly held back in the punch and had only used regular strength. If he had used Odinous Power, the punch would have killed Stanley.Stanley spat blood and glared angrily at Kayson as he snarled, “I won’t let you go! Never!”Before Kayson replied, Penta-sun Doyen, who had just parked the car, came in in large strides and growled, “Who are you not letting go? Hmm?”“This guy of course! I, Stanley Leaf, am the heir of Eastsea’s martial arts family, the Leafs. I came here, and I keep getting annoyed…”“Hah, Omar’s kid? I think you’re even more brazen than Omar Leaf, judging by your tone!”Stanley jolted and questioned sternly, “How dare you call my uncle by his full name? Who do you think you are?”He looked over to see that it was an old man, but he did not know who he was.“Who do I think I am?” Penta-sun Doyen huffed an angry laugh. Even the patriarch of the Leafs would not dare talk to him like this, yet a kid from the Leafs was acting so audaciously?Penta-sun D
Penta-sun Doyen spoke in utter seriousness. “Mr. Yarde, my choice to stay has nothing to do with whether I have Vodu Worm in me!”Kayson actually just wanted to test Penta-sun Doyen, but the man’s change in attitude surprised him. Was he scared upon learning that he had killed Adalon?He did not think much about it but turned to Cecile. The girl ran into trouble even when she was just staying at a hotel. It seemed like he ought to settle the villa as soon as he could—best if Cecile could move in the next day.Kayson asked, “Cecile, how did you bump into Stanley?”“I was planning to eat somewhere nearby, but he stopped me just as I came downstairs,” Cecile answered softly.Kayson nodded. Why did Stanley set eyes on Cecile? Was it because she was pretty? He did not know her otherwise.“I’ll take you out to eat,” Kayson said and glanced at Penta-sun Doyen. He had already told him about his intention for him to protect Cecile on their way here.Penta-sun Doyen agreed to it as well,
“It’s an injury from martial arts, and it involves the very foundation. Unless it’s your mentor, Living Reaper, who treats him personally, it’s honestly too challenging for you.“You’re familiar with the anatomy, but your martial arts prowess isn’t adequate. You probably have never encountered injuries on an expert like Chief Rivera.“It’s only reasonable that you’re unable to treat Chief Rivera given these circumstances. But from what I can see, your medical skill is absolutely within the top ten in the whole of Nation of Dragons.”Kayson said in an attempt to comfort Naomi, but the latter muttered forlornly, “But I’m still so much weaker compared to you…”‘Why would you want to compare to me…’ Kayson murmured in his mind.The location was Chase’s accommodation. It was for emergencies, so everyone else had no idea except Naomi, who was the team doctor.Kayson’s brows furrowed when he looked at Chase, who was thoroughly wounded and on the brink of death. “Where did Chief Rivera g
“Is Kayson here?”Kayson, who was rolling a ball of medicinal pill, answered, “I’m here, Chief Rivera.”Chase had yet to fully recover, but everything was easier to tackle now that he was awake.Kayson tossed a pill to Naomi and told her, “Have Chief Rivera take this. He’ll feel better.”Naomi nodded. Chase took the pill and swallowed it directly. As expected, his initially lethargic state improved visibly.“Kayson, can you give me more of this pill?” Chase asked in astonishment after he felt his energy recover.“I don’t think so. It’s concocted with herbs that replenish the mind power, but such herbs aren’t often found.”Chase was disappointed but said anyway, “If I manage to find enough of such herbs, can I ask you to make them for me?”“I can teach Naomi how to make them. You can just go to her after this,” replied Kayson.Naomi jolted and quickly said, “Uh… That doesn’t sound right?”The prescription to make the pill must be valuable. It would be wrong for her to take adv
Chase looked serious as he asked Kayson, “Care to elaborate, Kayson?”Before Kayson could answer, Naomi spoke about him first.“Chief Rivera, Skyspring’s changed massively during the days you weren’t around. Kayson… He’s done plenty of shocking things.”She briefly mentioned the big events that happened these days, and Chase was stupefied as he listened. It was until Naomi stopped speaking that he stared dumbly at Kayson and could not help asking, “Kayson… Y-You can already kill a Warlord?”Kayson nodded. “I killed Randall Zabka. He’s one of your Admiralporium vice chiefs. I don’t know what you guys think about it.“I actually want to meet Chief Kline, and I’ve waited for you for days just to ask you to connect us.“But… I did kill Randall, and I heard that Chief Kline is known for being fiercely protective of his own people. I’m worried that—”Chase was still in shock, but he quickly explained upon hearing what Kayson said.“Don’t worry about this. Randall betrayed Chief Kline
