Upon hearing the news, the Lloyd family trembled in fear.Etchen glared at Serena with clenched teeth. "What's going on?! Look at what you've done! Will you only be satisfied if you get us all killed? All you had to do was sleep with Isaac! You've already divorced, so what difference does one night make? Now, look at the mess we're in! Isaac is dead, and his uncle is coming here! What are we supposed to do?!"His face contorted with rage. Given the background of Isaac's uncle, if he brought his men to their home, their lives would be in serious danger.Serena was stunned. She never imagined that after everything that happened yesterday, Isaac would end up dead. Although she was furious with Isaac after he drugged her, hearing about his death made her realize how dire the situation had become.Sam's face was filled with panic. "What are we going to do? I heard Isaac's uncle has a terrible temper and is known for his ruthlessness in the military. If he seeks revenge, we could be in r
As soon as he heard the sound of the bolt being pulled, a look of terror flashed across Etchen's face.He shouted, "General Ender, stop! It's got nothing to do with us! It was Serena who attended the dinner. We know nothing about it! Even if it is related, it is connected to Serena alone. Go find her—"Etchen was terrified, babbling incessantly. However, Henry's guard slapped Etchen hard across the face before he could finish his sentence, sending him sprawling to the ground.Smack!"Do you want to die? This is not your place to speak!"Etchen fell to the floor, his face burning with pain, leaving his mind in a daze. Instinctively, he raised his head, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Serena.He believed that Serena caused all of it.It was not just Etchen. Every member of the Lloyd family glared at Serena with hatred. However, they forgot that Serena had attended the dinner because of them, for the sake of the Lloyd Group.Serena sighed softly. "He's right. This
Serena nodded. "Yes! Mister Corona is a friend of Mister Timberwood. I got to know Mister Timberwood through Mister Corona. He was present during our meal, so he might have some clues. General Ender, could you please give me some time to contact Mister Corona?""No need for such trouble."General Henry gave a cold smile and signaled to his guards. Immediately after, a terrified voice echoed as several soldiers brought In Tobias."I don't know anything! Mister Timberwood asked me to go out and buy things for him. I didn't even return to the hotel!""Tobias?"Serena was stunned at the sight. She did not expect that General Henry had already captured the person she could not reach, Tobias.Henry sneered. "If you wanted to call him, I doubt you would have reached him. When I found him, he was at the airport. He would've already escaped if I had arrived a bit later!"Serena was even more taken aback. "What?"However, Hailey, not understanding the situation, saw Tobias as her last ho
Serena abruptly widened her eyes with disbelief as she looked at him. "The incident with the Hill family… It wasn't you who did it? It wasn't you who spoke to the Hill family?""What does that have to do with me? It was you who insisted on giving me the credit!" Tobias snapped back at her, deflecting the blame.The rest of the Lloyd family stood there, stunned by Tobias's words. They had not expected to uncover another truth while dealing with Isaac's death. The Hill family spared the Lloyd Group and even agreed to resume their collaboration was not because of Tobias.Serena was momentarily dazed. "Then, who could it be?"For a moment, her heart was filled with confusion and uncertainty. During the incident with the Hill family and even Isaac's drug attempt, when someone saved her at a critical moment, made Serena feel as if there was someone silently protecting her.Instinctively, an image of Liam angrily telling her that the Hill family matter had nothing to do with Tobias flash
Initially, Henry harbored suspicions about Tobias. However, after the recent events, Henry was certain of one thing—Isaac's death had nothing to do with Tobias.Therefore, there was only one person left who might know the truth.Henry's eyes were cold as he looked at Serena. "Let me ask you again. What exactly happened to Isaac? If you can't answer me, don't blame me for what happens next!"Serena smiled bitterly. "General Ender, I really don't know..."Although she wanted to protect the person who saved her, she also genuinely had no idea what had happened that night. However, Henry clearly did not believe her.He sneered, his gaze sweeping over the Lloyd family. "It seems you don't realize the gravity of the situation..."Henry waved his hand. Immediately, the guards beside him, holding their guns, began to approach the rest of the Lloyd family.Suddenly, a guard holding a document ran in and reported to Henry, "General, we've found something! Through Serena's phone, we discov
Serena stared wide-eyed at her mother, feeling a sense of urgency. "Mom! What nonsense are you spouting? How could Liam possibly be involved in Isaac's situation? Do you even know what kind of person he is? What are you thinking!""He wouldn't have done something like this before," Hailey scoffed. "But after spending four years in prison, who knows!"With that, Hailey turned her attention to Henry. "General Ender, it's almost certain! It was definitely Liam!"Henry sneered. "Knocking out all those bodyguards I assigned to Isaac? One person couldn't do that alone, but looking at you now, it seems I've found the real culprit!"Henry squinted with a cold, murderous intent. "When you were in danger yesterday, you thought of Liam. Today, I might need to trouble you to bring this Liam here."Serena's anxiety grew. "General Ender, I admit that Isaac's death is related to me, but it has nothing to do with Liam. He didn't even answer my calls yesterday. This is all a misunderstanding!"He
Serena understood clearly that with Henry's personality, once he learned about Liam's existence, he would not let Liam go, regardless of whether Liam had anything to do with Isaac's death or not.It was her mistake, and she did not want Liam to bear the consequences. Staying in South City would only become increasingly dangerous for Liam.All Serena could do, besides keeping Liam from coming over, was to ensure he left as quickly as possible before Henry found him. She hoped he would escape to a place where Henry could never find him."Hopefully, you'll listen to me this time. This is all I can do for you," Serena muttered, a complex expression flashing across her eyes.However, as she witnessed the scene unfolding before her, the Lloyd family members were shocked and agitated.Etchen shouted, his face twisted in rage. "Serena, are you insane? If you want to die, go and die on your own accord! Why are you dragging us down with you?"Hailey stood behind them, glaring at Serena. "S
Upon realizing the situation, the members of the Lloyd family immediately fell silent.A cruel smile flashed across Henry's face. "You want to protect that useless Liam, don't you? Let's see how you manage to protect him! Starting now, if that worthless Liam doesn't show up in ten minutes, I'll kill one of you every five minutes! I've said it before. If I can't find the culprit who killed Isaac, I'll make you all pay with your lives!" Henry grinned and added, "Of course, if your entire family dies and Liam still hasn't shown up, it won't matter much anymore."As soon as Henry's words hit their ears, terror washed over the faces of the Lloyd family members lying on the ground. They struggled and screamed in panic."What are you doing, Serena?! Are you really going to let the whole Lloyd family die for that worthless convict?""Serena! Do you really want to kill your parents?""Serena, what are you thinking?"Their faces were full of resentment towards Serena.What was Serena th
Shortly after, Liam exchanged a few more words with Gabriel before ending the call. Even after hanging up, Liam could still sense the aura behind him growing increasingly chaotic. For a grandmaster of martial arts to have such a reaction, it was clear that Bluebird's heart had been deeply shaken. Even though her strength was already formidable, the Central Military Region had been the place where she had spent the first half of her life. "It's fine. I'm here." Without turning around, Liam spoke calmly, "As long as you don't want to go back, no one can force you to." Although he still didn't know what Bluebird planned for the future, this was one thing he could easily promise her. The moment she heard his words, the turbulence in Bluebird's aura immediately settled. Sensing this, Liam smiled faintly. "Grandmaster Burrey… what did you just say?" At that moment, Lucy looked at Liam curiously. It seemed like she had caught him saying something earlier. "Nothin
Hearing Gabriel's words over the phone, Liam paused. There was no denying it—Gabriel was truly clever. Beneath his seemingly simple and honest appearance lay a sharp sense of perception. The moment he sensed that Liam might be angry, he immediately apologized. Just like that, the anger that had started to rise within Liam subsided slightly. "Grandmaster Burrey, getting mad at someone like me isn't worth it!" When he did not hear a response from Liam for a long time, Gabriel cautiously spoke up again. "I never said I wouldn't provide the Central Military Region with the White Glycoside Cream." Noticing Gabriel's shameless persistence, a trace of helplessness flashed in Liam's eyes. "Recently, the supply of White Glycoside Cream has been limited. "I also care about the soldiers in the Central Military Region. If production stabilizes in the future, I will naturally increase the supply for them." "I know, I know! Grandmaster Burrey, I understand!" Sensing that L
"I..." Liam furrowed his brows, about to say something more to Lucy. But just then… Ring, ring— Lucy's phone rang again. She glanced down at the screen, and the moment she saw the caller ID, she froze for a second. Then, with a sigh, she turned to Liam with a helpless smile. "Grandmaster Burrey, see what I mean?" She shook her head. "I just mentioned Commander Warren, and now he's calling again!" "Give me the phone." Liam's expression darkened as he gestured for her to hand it over. Without hesitation, Lucy obediently passed the phone to him. Liam picked up the call without a second thought. "Miss Hill, how's the matter I asked about yesterday? I heard that the production of White Glycoside Cream ointment has stabilized recently!" "Come on, have a little mercy and allocate more for the Central Military Region. The soldiers have it tough!" "You know how close I am with Grandmaster Burrey. If he asks, I'd even jump into boiling oil for him!" "
"What's going on?" Hearing Lucy's words, Liam turned his head. At first, he thought the biggest issue with the White Glycoside Cream was likely its production capacity. But to his surprise, that problem had already been mostly resolved by Lucy and the others. Thinking about it, it made sense. Otherwise, the ointment would not have had enough stock to be sold in Juneau. "The production capacity of White Glycoside Cream has stabilized. As long as we maintain the current output, there shouldn't be any major issues," Lucy said, lifting her head to look at Liam again. A hint of hesitation flashed across her face. "But the main problem now is that certain high-profile clients want a larger allocation of the ointment." "They want more?" Liam was slightly taken aback. He responded, "If someone is asking for an unreasonable amount, just refuse them." "Given the current standing of our Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, is there anyone we can't afford to turn down?" His
However, at this moment, Liam, who was already on a flight back to the provincial capital, was completely unaware of any of this. He also had no idea that the Minister of the Hestia Drug Administration was growing impatient and eager to head to South City to settle accounts with him. If not for the ongoing impact of the White Glycoside Cream, Matthias might have already rushed to South City to confront him! Seated on the plane, Liam closed his eyes and began to doze off. The past few days had been exhausting, and he hadn't had a chance to rest properly. When he woke up, the plane was already preparing to land. Looking out at the familiar scenery through the window, a faint smile appeared on his lips. Although he hadn't been away from Qyn Province for long, returning still gave him a sense of coming home. He had always been somewhat nostalgic. The moment he stepped out of the airport, Lucy was already waiting at the entrance with a group of people. Judging by
"Grandmaster Burrey, I'll book your flight for you!" Hearing Liam's words, Lucy's voice was filled with excitement. Even though she was not sure what Liam's return could change, just knowing that Grandmaster Burrey was coming back made her feel a bit more at ease. "Alright." Liam nodded. After exchanging a few more words with Lucy, he hung up the phone. Lucy had already booked him the earliest available flight back to the provincial capital of Qyn Province. Liam looked up at the long queue ahead, a wry smile flashing across his face once again. He never expected this. Not being able to sell White Glycoside Cream had been frustrating. But selling too much of it turned out to be an even bigger headache. "Sigh…" Liam shook his head helplessly and turned to hail a taxi to Juneau. However… What Liam did not realize was that the explosive sales of White Glycoside Cream were not just putting pressure on Lucy alone. Not far from where he was, at the to
"You have no idea what kind of life we've been living ever since the White Glycoside Cream became a sensation..." As she spoke, her voice trembled, and she was on the verge of tears. It wasn't that Lucy had a weak tolerance for pressure. It was just that the stress they had endured during this period was simply overwhelming! The moment Lucy saw the long queue outside Midshine Pharmacy, all waiting to buy the White Glycoside Cream, she rushed back and immediately ramped up production. But even so— The supply of White Glycoside Cream was still far from enough. By the third day of its effects going viral, demand had already far outstripped supply. The production couldn't keep up at all! The impact it had was several times greater than when Bellflower Root first hit the market! Once people started realizing just how effective the White Glycoside Cream was— Not only ordinary consumers— Even the officials of Hestia, and even the military, reached out to the V
Liam was unaware that, aside from the clues related to Misha, the impact and shock caused by his destruction of the Nosh family were only just beginning! However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. After all, why should he be concerned about something he did so effortlessly? At this moment, what troubled Liam was something else entirely. As he watched the traffic flowing back and forth ahead, a hint of helplessness flashed across his face. Where should he go now? After all, he had come to Juneau with two objectives. The Nosh family had been dealt with. And the matter concerning his mother, Misha, had once again reached a dead end. Both tasks had essentially reached a conclusion. As a result, Liam suddenly found himself unsure of what to do next. He couldn't just wander around Juneau, sightseeing and having fun, could he? As he pondered, Liam started walking forward. However, he hadn't gone far when a noisy and crowded scene ahead caught h
"The extermination of the Nosh family happened not long ago, and we just picked up Grandmaster Burrey from Sky Harmoney Villa." She swallowed nervously, her voice tinged with doubt. "Do you think Grandmaster Burrey might know something about this? Or… could he actually be involved?" "I…" Hearing this, Harris trembled, his pupils contracting sharply! Susan's words reminded him. They had picked up Grandmaster Burrey just outside Sky Harmoney Villa, and during their casual conversation, he had told them he was there to handle some personal matters! His personal matters… Could they have been about the Nosh family? "No! No way!" As soon as the thought surfaced in his mind, Harris quickly shook his head, dismissing it. "It can't be Grandmaster Burrey!" Even though they knew Grandmaster Burrey was incredibly powerful, he couldn't possibly be that powerful! That was the Nosh family of Juneau! Besides… They had not heard anything about Grandmaster Burrey a
