Chapter 501 Inferior
"Please, spare me! I'm willing to be your slave!"
Tears streamed down Isaiah's eyes as he knelt in front of Kai. The head of the Fergusons from Salinsburg was actually kneeling in front of Kai like a coward!
When Tessa saw this scene, she could not help but feel sad.
She did not understand why these people were willing to put their lives at stake just for their self-interests. In the end, they had to sacrifice their families.
"If I'm the one kneeling in front of you now, would you have spared me?" asked Kai calmly.
Stunned, Isaiah stared up at Kai and shook his head slowly.
If Kai was kneeling and begging for mercy instead, Isaiah would never spare him.
With a cold smirk, Kai smashed Isaiah's head with a single slap.
When the other Fergusons saw that, they fled in fear. However, Kai would never let them escape.
He moved so quickly that his figure turned into a flash. Shrieks of agony echoed across the venue immediately afterward.
Within a few minutes, all the Fergusons dropped dead onto the ground.
Looking at how ruthless Kai was, Jayden gulped. He was secretly glad that he did not offend Kai yesterday—otherwise, the Snyders would have met the same fate as the Fergusons.
"Jayden, I've done what I've promised you. I hope that you won't go back on your words too!" As Kai spoke, he bent down, picked up a spiritual stone, and passed it to Jayden. "Immediately instruct your men to pick up these stones and send them to Salinsburgh!"
"Understood!" Jayden did not even dare to ask any questions. All he had to do was to follow Kai's instructions.
"Dominic, take over the Fergusons' vein mine. Anyway, you're well-versed in the area, too," ordered Kai as he glanced at Dominic.
"Yes, Mr. Chance!" Dominic nodded.
Meanwhile, Christopher was trembling. If Kai wanted the Larsons' vein mine at that moment, he would not even dare to refuse.
However, Kai did not want the Larsons' vein mine. After giving out his instructions, he headed down the mountain.
Only then did Christopher wipe the sweat off his forehead and heave a sigh of relief.
The group walked to the periphery of Devil's Forest. Just when they were about to head down the mountain, they discovered that George and his disciples were not gone yet. As they did not have a guide, they did not dare to enter recklessly. Hence, they had been waiting outside all along.
When George saw Jayden and the rest, he was surprised.
"Mr. Snyder, you... How..."
George wanted to ask how Jayden and the rest managed to escape, but he did not know how to say it.
Shooting George a cold glance, Jayden said, "Isaiah has already been killed by Mr. Chance. The Fergusons will no longer exist in Salinsburgh!"
"What?" George stared at Kai in surprise. "What about Mr. Mikkelson?"
"Hmph! Of course he got killed by Mr. Chance!" snorted Jayden coldly.
"How is that possible? Mr. Mikkelson is..."
"You think that it's impossible because your skills are too inferior. Mr. Chance killed Mr. Mikkelson easily with a single blow. If you aren't truly capable, stop embarrassing yourself."
After saying that, Jayden rushed to Kai. "Slow down, Mr. Chance..."
Staring at Jayden and the others' back, George felt extremely embarrassed. However, he still followed them down the mountain.
Upon returning to Salinsburgh, Jayden invited Kai to stay at his place. He would definitely not let Kai stay in a hotel.
Kai did not refuse either and let Jayden find him a mansion. Since he needed to cultivate, no one should disturb him.
After making sure that Kai had settled down, Jayden did not dare to let any second go to waste. He immediately instructed his men to transport the stones that Kai wanted over from the mountain.
The next day, there was a huge pile of spiritual stones in the mansion's yard. Looking at the spiritual stones, Kai smiled. Perhaps, I can reach the Transcendence Phase using these spiritual stones!
Chapter 502 You Do Not Understand
If he could reach the Transcendence Phase before going to Nameless Island, Kai would be filled with confidence. After all, Draco instructed him to reach the Foundation Phase before the fifteenth of July, which was when he had to go to Nameless Island. Draco might not even have expected Kai's cultivation to progress so rapidly.
"Kai, why do you want these useless stones instead of gemstones?" asked Tessa confusedly as she walked to the yard of Kai's mansion.
"You don't understand. These might be useless stones to you, but they're magical items to me!" explained Kai with a smile.
"I can't understand you!" Tessa rolled her eyes before saying, "My dad told me to inform you that these are all the stones we have for now. We don't know if there are any underground, but we've already transported the equipment there. The stones are all ready to be mined! If there are more below, my dad will instruct his men to keep transporting them to you."
"Okay, I get it. I'm going to train for these few days, so you'd better not disturb me!" Kai reminded Tessa.
"Okay." Looking slightly disappointed, Tessa spun around and left.
Kai knew what Jayden was trying to do. Whenever Jayden asked Tessa to relay the messages and send food to him, it was obviously an attempt to make sparks fly between him and Tessa! However, since Kai already had Josephine, he would never betray her.
After Tessa went back, Kai sat cross-legged. Looking at the pile of spiritual stones in front of him, he felt the waves of spiritual energy wash over him. With that, he started cultivating.
Kai devoured the spiritual energy enthusiastically as if he was starving. All of the pores on his body expanded as they absorbed the spiritual energy. Meanwhile, within his elixir field, the Focus Technique had just reached its peak, constantly cultivating the spiritual energy that had just been absorbed.
One day, two days, and three days passed...
The pile of spiritual stones was diminishing quickly. With his eyes closed, Kai was detached from the outside world. He even forgot about the time!
Just when Kai was cultivating, Josephine was stuck in the mansion in Summerbank, feeling extremely bored.
Tommy and Phoenix had dispatched a lot of security guards around the mansion to protect Josephine. Even Tristan had come to Summerbank personally. Since Kai had instructed him before the former left, Tristan would never dare to be careless.
Luckily, Josephine had Lizbeth keeping her company every day. That was why she had not been bored to death yet.
"Kai has already been away for a few days. He hasn't come back and didn't even send a single message. When we called him, no one answered. Did something happen to him?"
Josephine frowned, feeling worried for Kai.
"Don't worry. Kai's so capable that nothing bad can possibly happen to him. As long as there are no women pestering him, everything's fine. After all, he's very popular with the girls," teased Lizbeth.
"Do you like him too?" asked Josephine, glancing at Lizbeth.
"What... What nonsense are you talking about? I don't like him!"
Although that was what Lizbeth said, her cheeks turned red.
"Haha! How can you still claim that you don't like him! You are already blushing. If you like him, I'll give him to you," joked Josephine as she burst out laughing.
When Lizbeth heard Josephine, her expression turned cold. "Josephine, please don't make such a joke anymore. You should learn how to appreciate a boyfriend like Kai. Actually, every girl would admire such a talented person like him. I want to find a boyfriend similar to him too, but it's a pity that I'm not as lucky as you. Hence, you should treasure what you have now and stop speaking nonsense!"
The smile on Josephine's face disappeared too. She grabbed Lizbeth's hand and reassured her, "Don't worry, Lizbeth. I believe that you'll definitely find a boyfriend you like too. Perhaps, he'll be even better than Kai!"
Lizbeth laughed. "You don't have to console me. My heart has already been broken."
As Lizbeth spoke, she glanced out of the window. Her heart had already been utterly broken by Franco.
