“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
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
