Chapter 8

Author: Summer
Cyrus met the manager of the Project Department, Victor Flores. Victor looked him up and down in a calm manner.

“Here’s your nameplate.”

Cyrus took it and looked at it. He was assigned as the deputy manager in the Project Department.

“Thank you, Mr. Flores.”

“You’re welcome. You may report to your team leader now.”

After Cyrus left, Victor leaned against his chair and laughed as he shook his head. “What a pity that he’s assigned to Team Rich-Second Generation. I’m just afraid he might be bullied badly.”

‘Whatever, this has nothing to do with me. I’m just following the chairman’s orders.’

Cyrus found Team Four’s office.

When he entered, he noticed that the office was in a mess and very smoky. He saw a few male and female irresponsible employees gathered around, playing games. They looked extremely playful.

Cyrus frowned. ‘So… this is the Project Department’s Team Four?’

A young man with spiky hair, looking like Super Saiyan, took a glance at him. He was holding a cigarette as he asked, “Who are you?”

“I’m the new deputy manager, Cyrus Salazar. Which one of you is Mr. Long?”

“That’s me.”

The young man with spiky hair put down his phone and gave the rest of the employees a kick. “Stop playing already! Can’t you see that we have a newbie with us?”

“Oh, okay!”

The others put down their phones and stood up with Ekialde. Ekialde approached Cyrus and took a good look at him. He then sneered, “So, you’re Cyrus Salazar, huh?”

Cyrus nodded.

“Guys, beat him up!”

Ekialde’s gaze suddenly filled with hatred. The few people at the back took out baseball bats that they had hidden, and rushed forward. Cyrus was a little surprised. ‘What’s happening? Do these people have something against me?’

Swoosh!

Cyrus stepped back, dodging a hit. He then rushed forward, and brought his knee up to hit the young man’s abdomen.

“Ouch!”

The young man had a ferocious expression. He spat and his eyes bulged.

“D*mn it! He knows martial arts! Beat him up!”

Ekialde was slightly stunned. ‘Ms. Gardner didn’t mention that this recluse knows martial arts!’

The group of people swarmed and besieged Cyrus cruelly.

Clangor was heard from Team Four’s office. It was extremely noisy.

Everyone in the company who passed by the office walked past swiftly. They thought to themselves, ‘I wonder who’s that unlucky guy who got assigned to the laziest team. Looks like he got beaten up pretty badly.

‘Pity him!’

After five minutes, Team Four’s office became quiet again.

The other employees in the Project Department looked at the closed door, then shook their heads. They sighed and continued to work on their own tasks.

In the now quiet Team Four office…

“What’s your name? Where are you from?”

“Bro, I’m Ekialde Long. My grandfather is Chester Long, one of the first shareholders of the company…” Ekialde mumbled. He was squatting against the wall with messy hair after getting beaten badly.

His left hand was supporting his right wrist as he covered his bleeding nose with his sleeves.

The rest of them were covering their heads with both hands as they squatted against the wall in a row. They were covered in bruises.

Cyrus sat in an office chair. His clothes were a little wrinkled. He was holding the baseball bat with his right hand. There was a hint of shock in his gaze.

He then looked at the second guy. “How about you?”

“I’m Nigel Mason. My grandfather is one of the shareholders…”

“And you?”

Cyrus turned to the third person. She looked like a young girl.

“I’m Talia Ray… M— My father is one of the…”

Team Four consisted of seven people, not including Cyrus.

After asking around, he realized that everyone’s family members, either grandfather or father, were the shareholders in the company.

This team… consisted of rich-second generations!

They were just a group of slackers!

No one would dare to provoke the seven of them.

‘I’ve beaten up seven rich-second generations!’ This was the first thought that came to Cyrus’ mind. He then thought to himself, ‘That’s bad!

‘If the seven of them were to file a complaint, it would trouble Mr. Gardner.

‘Mr. Frank wouldn’t want to owe anyone a favor. I am the same.’

“Did Korah ask you to beat me up?” Cyrus asked Ekialde.

“Ye— No, no, no, no! I’m the one who wants to beat you up…”

“Do I look like an eyesore to you?”

“N—No…”

“Why did you want to beat me up, then?”

“I… Well, all the newbies are treated like this when they first come in! Yes, that’s right. You can only join us once you get beaten up!” Ekialde said hurriedly.

Cyrus looked at the row of b*stards. ‘What an eyesore. Who would want to join you guys?!’

After pondering for a moment, Cyrus said, “You guys have quite interesting backgrounds. If you were to file a complaint, Mr. Gardner might have to stand up for me. But I don’t want to trouble him…”

“We won’t!” Ekialde hurriedly said. “It’s embarrassing enough that the seven of us got beaten up by you alone!”

Cyrus looked at them in silence. The way he was staring at them gave Ekialde goosebumps. He trembled as he said, “Cy— Cyrus, I’m telling you the truth. I won’t file a complaint! They listen to me. They won’t file a complaint either!”

Cyrus chuckled and said, “Fine. Drop it. If you guys were to file a complaint, I’ll ask Mr. Gardner to stand up for me. But I’ll still be in this company for a few months. I have plenty of time to play around with you guys.”

After Ekialde heard this and saw how Cyrus smiled, chills ran down his spine. He felt extremely uncomfortable.

“No, we won’t…”

Ekialde smiled, embarrassed. At that moment, his phone rang.

“Pick it up.” Cyrus narrowed his eyes.

Ekialde did as he was told. The caller ID said, “Ms. Gardner.”

Cyrus smiled. ‘Well, say no more. This is definitely Korah’s doing.’

“I don’t need to tell you what to say, right?” Cyrus said softly. ‘Korah is the one who ordered them to do this. She must’ve been trying to teach me a lesson.

‘Instead of Korah ordering someone else to beat me up again, I might as well let her think that Ekialde and the others had beaten me up.’

Ekialde nodded vigorously.

He then picked up the call.

“How did everything go, Ekialde? I heard a lot of noise coming from your office.”

Ekialde raised his head, looked at Cyrus, and suddenly trembled.

“Hah, don’t worry, Ms. Gardner! We’ve taught him a lesson! He’s currently squatting against the wall with both his hands covering his head!” Ekialde said loudly.

Korah was a little worried and said, “Nothing’s broken, right? Are there any bruises on his face?”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Gardner. We only hit his body. Anywhere else that’s visible is not injured!”

“Good. I’ll give you a bonus later.”

“It’s nothing!” Ekialde said proudly.

“Alright. I’m hanging up, then.”

“Sure, Ms. Gardner!”

After the call ended, Ekialde asked, embarrassed, “Cyrus, how did I do?”

“You’re clever.” After Cyrus said this, he flicked several needles at them. The bruises and swelling on their bodies started to fade.

Everyone looked at this magical scene in amazement. They could not help but widen their eyes as they looked at Cyrus as if he were a god… ‘Oh my goodness! This is too awesome!’

    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
