Chapter 302

Kieran walked out of the shadows, holding Marco’s fist in his hand . When he’d felt the force from Marco’s punch, he was surprised . Marco’s strength was much more powerful than Kieran had expected .



"At least D+ Strength!"

Kieran came up with an estimate by comparing it to his own strength .

D+ Rank Strength was not high according to the charts, but according to the system description, E+ Rank Strength was already on par with a weightlifting champion, which was quite astounding .

How many average men could become weightlifting champions, let alone exceed the strength of one? This was an impossible feat for the average man .

Compared to Kieran’s B- Strength though, it was not enough .

Every minor rank suppressed any lower ranks . A major rank could easily crush all others .

The difference between D+ and B- was not just a mere rank leap .

Marco struggled hard . His arm joints started to make noise, but the fist in Kieran’s hand was like lead welded together, not budging an inch .

"Let go!"

Marco fired another punch at Kieran furiously . With his sanity gone, he did not think of what was happening . All he wanted was to crush him .

Kieran stood still on the spot, twisting Marco’s fist up hard .

A clear noise was heard as his joints were twisted . Then it was Marco’s whole arm . Finally, Marco’s body was forced to lean forward .



The punch that Marco had fired at Kieran missed before it could even land .

Marco only froze for a fraction of a second . The next moment, he punched Kieran again, ignoring his interlocked joints . His reckless move rendered his right arm completely disabled .

Marco was not concerned, even though his right arm was twisted into a wicked arch . Kieran could not help but sigh silently .

"His strength and constitution exceed the average person’s . Although his intuition is average, the lack of pain… No wonder the Blood Moon destroyed a whole kingdom! Back in the days when firearms had just been invented, soldiers relied on traditional weapons . Armies were formed by commoners against those monsters . It would be weird if they weren’t already dead!"

Kieran’s actions were not slow while he was thinking .

After getting some insight into Marco’s abilities, he had lost any interest in tangling with the big fellow any further .

Kieran instantly transformed his aura . If he had been a sheathed sword coming out of the shadows and grabbing Marco’s fist, then his aura was an unsheathed sword .

"Hold-"

Tally, who had come back to her senses, felt the aura around Kieran changing . Her expression changed . She wanted to stop Kieran, but it was already too late .

A half-moon qi energy wave was fired from Kieran’s right foot, slicing Marco’s neck .

His bulky head flew off his neck with a purple flash as scarlet blood dyed the office red .

Tally did not even avoid the blood .



The warm, stinky liquid woke the director up and forced her to react to what was happening .

"Why didn’t you stop? You heard me!" she yelled .

Being showered by blood had made her lose her manners, and her ignorant yelling made her lose face completely .

Kieran glanced over at her and quietly picked up the item that had fallen off Marco . Then he looked at Schmidt .

"How are you?" he asked .


He had heard Tally, but what reason did he have to comply?

In fact, if it was not for Rosland’s interesting proposition, Tally would not have been standing there without a scratch .

Tally knew nothing about this though . She was still questioning Kieran hysterically .

"Do you know what you did…"

"That’s enough, Tally!"

Tally stopped as Rosland exited his invisible form, emitting ripples as he appeared . The elderly man was looking at his own granddaughter in disappointment .

"You were influenced by that corrupted whirlpool! You were robbed of both your eyes and your sanity! Blinded as you were, your judgement was clouded . You could not tell what was right!"

Rosland bowed before Kieran once again .

"I beg for your forgiveness, Sir 2567 . I hope you can forgive her ignorant, childish acts . I will take her back to the Landsky family and compensate you for what happened today . That is beside what we have previously agreed," the old man explained .

"I’ll be looking forward to it!"

Although Kieran was quite intrigued by the term "childish", he did not press . He waved at Rosland and took Schmidt with him .

The fiasco had ended when Rosland had stepped in . What remained though required Kieran’s full attention . There was still time for him to finish what he wasn’t able to before .

Tally, who had been stunned from the moment Rosland had appeared, was looking at her grandfather with blank eyes . She did not even notice that Kieran and Schmidt had left . She was frozen for almost 20 seconds .

"Have you calmed down? Pack your belongings . We are going back to the family . You are not permitted to take a step outside without my permission . "

Rosland sighed heavily when he saw his granddaughter’s messy appearance . He knew he was being harsh on her, but he also knew that if he wasn’t, a catastrophe would befall her .

Disaster might have been avoided that day, but new ones would come from the ones responsible for Tally’s actions . They might even tear his family apart .

"Why?" Tally finally said when she had cooled off . She wanted no dignified excuses . What she needed was a direct answer . The true reason .

"Because you are unfit to stay here anymore . You’ve always thought that you are smart, but you never thought you might have been played by those filthy people . You never even considered the obvious odds before you! Blinded by former glory and praise, you became proud and ignorant . You thought you could control and solve everything! Yet everything before you was nothing but an illusion . A terrifying illusion that would doom you eternally," Rosland said in a serious tone before sighing once more .

"Pack your belongings fast . I’ll call for transportation," Rosland said .

"You’re afraid? Afraid of 2567?" Tally did not move . She was staring at her grandfather as she asked that burning question .

"The God of Earth made a prophecy about him . Anyone would… I am no exception," the elderly man said honestly .

"COWARD!"

Tally left the office in her blood-stained outfit after making that disrespectful comment .

Rosland sighed as the door was slammed hard on him . He knew his granddaughter would not compromise that easily, even though she had decided to comply .

. . .

"You believe what Rosland Landsky said?" Schmidt asked after he heard most of the story . His expression was basically saying "I don’t buy that bullshit" .

"I do, but not all of it . It’s only a collaboration!" Kieran replied with a smile .

"But tonight you need to go deal with the East Coast bastards . If anything happens, the outcome will be catastrophic! Did it ever occur to you that this might be a trap? You would be surrounded!" Schmidt was worried about Kieran’s decision . He had even come up with a theory of his own .

"That’s why I need to rest well and save my energy!" Kieran said, picking up "Paths of Stars and Destiny" once more .

Of course, he had thought about what Schmidt had said, but he had a certain degree of confidence that it would not be a trap .

If it was…

Kieran unconsciously turned his eyes to the special item he had gotten from Marco .
