"I have no idea," Ronald said as he shook his head."Forget it. If we can't stay, we will just leave," Hailey said."Staying in a regular ward won't make much of a difference. The director, Mister Lopez, has already arranged a doctor for us!" Hailey's eyes darted around as she came up with another idea. "Ronald, do you think we might have a chance to meet the VIP staying in the intensive care unit of this hospital?""We'll see about that," Ronald said, shaking his head. Despite the considerable status of the Lloyd family, staying in the same hospital as the big shot in the special care ward did not necessarily guarantee a meeting. However, he did not voice these thoughts to Hailey. "Right now, the most important thing is to get you and Ethen treated!""There sure have been a lot of big shots from the capital lately," Hailey muttered.Speaking of big shots from the provincial capital, she could not help but recall the dozen or so Maybachs with provincial license plates parked d
As Liam made her way to Julian's hospital room, Serena rushed to the hospital in a fluster. Serena pushed open the door to the ward and saw Etchen lying on the hospital bed. His legs were encased in plaster, and his face contorted in agony. On the other side, Hailey lay on another bed, groaning incessantly.It was supposed to be a single occupancy room, yet Hailey, despite not suffering severe injuries, had somehow managed to secure another bed. According to the doctor's diagnosis, Etchen's fractures were not severe, but due to the extensive area of injury, he was covered with a large plaster cast. It was a rather daunting sight. Meanwhile, Hailey continued to moan in pain.Serena's eyes welled up. "Mom! Etchen! How did you both get hurt like this?""Ouch, it hurts so much!" Hailey's groans intensified upon noticing Serena's presence.Turning to face Serena with a face full of grievance, Hailey said, "Serena, I have been beaten up, Etchen's legs are both broken, and you only ju
"What did it mean injustice? There is no injustice! I only wish the best for you! Besides, just by seeing you today, I knew there must be a lot going on at the company lately. Didn't I hear the other day that something important is happening at the company?" Hailey waved her hands insincerely."You focus on the company's affairs first. We'll wait on our plans with Etchen.""Yes! Serena, the Hill Group hosts a conference once every five years, and it's coming up in a few days. That's what matters most!"At that moment, it seemed like Ronald suddenly recalled something."We owe everything we have in the Lloyd family to the support of the Hill Group! We've never had the chance to meet anyone from the Hill family in person. This annual meeting is a perfect opportunity!" Ronald's face became solemn."Absolutely! The Hill Group's annual meeting is of utmost importance. We must not neglect it! Our breakthroughs in the Lloyd Corporation depend heavily on the Hill family!""You go ahead a
While Layla spoke for Liam in the ordinary ward, Liam and Lucy had already entered the special care ward.Inside the ward, silence reigned. Only the faint hum of medical instruments could be heard. Julian lay quietly on the bed with tubes protruding from his body. In just three short days, the once spirited elder had withered, his breath barely perceptible.In the room, besides Julian, there was another elderly man with snowy white hair. He stooped over Julian's bed, earnestly observing his condition. However, in the end, he straightened up and let out a heavy and solemn sigh."Miss, this is Professor Harker from Asterion. He contacted him about this as well."As Lucy entered the ward, another servant from the Hill family approached her and whispered, "Yesterday, Mister Harker was delayed due to another surgery. He rushed here as soon as he arrived in South City today, saying he wanted to check on the Mister Hill Senior's condition."Upon hearing the voice behind her, Professor Ha
"What?" Lucy's eyes widened instantly. She had no idea that her grandfather's condition had deteriorated to such an extent! It had only been three days!"How could it be that bad?" Lucy panicked. Although the Hill family was still functioning normally at the moment, Lucy was responsible for half of the family's business. However, the real linchpin of the Hill family lay in the man lying in bed!"Miss Hill, if you hadn't asked, I doubt anyone would have informed you. Based on my observations just now, the various indicators within Mister Hill's body have reached dangerously critical levels, and his organs are already showing signs of failure." Jimmy sighed."According to the previous examination results, including the fact that the old man's condition has deteriorated to this extent in such a short time, I deduce that he has been poisoned!"But in order to attempt treatment, we must locate the poison, which we have no way of doing."We don't even know the composition of the poi
After ten breaths passed, Liam suddenly moved just as Jimmy was about to mock. He lightly lifted his index finger, forming an arch shape, then struck down on Julian's wrist!Liam seemed gentle, but in that instant, a buzz seemed to scatter invisible sound waves everywhere! After the index finger came down, it was the middle finger and, finally, the ring finger! Up, middle, down! Three parts, nine beats! Liam's three fingers continuously struck Julian's wrist at a very strange frequency.If there were someone genuinely knowledgeable about ancient oriental medicine here, they would be stunned into silence in an instant! The pulse-taking technique Liam employed was long lost, only recorded in legendary ancient texts as the 'three parts, nine beats, pulse-shocking section'!As Liam continued to shock the pulse without stopping, a strange feedback entered his mind. "Indeed, it's poison." Liam slightly furrowed his brow. It had to be admitted that Western medicine did have its
Jimmy had been practicing medicine for decades. He had never experienced anything as incredible as this. The way Liam diagnosed the patient by pulse showed that his abilities were simply extraordinary, surpassing Jimmy's understanding entirely. How had Jimmy never heard of Liam before? Nevertheless, despite Jimmy's astonishment and confusion, Liam paid him no mind. He immediately placed his hand back on Julian's wrist. Although he had located the position of the poison, there were still other areas in Julian's body that still needed examination."Impressive, Grandmaster Burrey!" Lucy's eyes lit up at the scene before her. Since Liam had resumed his work, she did not dare interrupt him. She turned excitedly to Jimmy and said, "Mister Harker, now that you've found the poison in my grandfather, does that mean he can be saved?"Although Jimmy's shock had yet to dissipate, there was a hint of displeasure in his heart at Liam's disregard for him. However, as a doctor, he knew the pat
"What...?" Jimmy froze, turning sharply to gaze at Liam. "What... What do you mean by that?"Not only Jimmy but even Lucy hurriedly looked at Liam."Grandmaster Burrey, can you save my grandfather?" She sounded surprised. "But didn't Mister Harker say that my grandfather's condition has exceeded the scope of what the current medical system can cure?"Liam shook his head lightly. "But I never said that.""A life is at stake. You better not speak recklessly!" Jimmy stared, wide-eyed, at Liam. "Since you've found the source of the poisoning in Mister Hill, you should be aware of Mister Hill's physical condition!"With such a dire physical condition, along with the complex symptoms and poisons in his body, how can you cure his illness?" Jimmy simply did not believe Liam!If it were not for Liam pinpointing the poison's source through pulse diagnosis, Jimmy might have started cursing by now!He claimed he could do something even the Gods could not? Was he just saying whatever came
On the path of seeking revenge on the Nosh family, finding a companion made her heart no longer feel as helpless and lonely as it once had."You just reminded me, if we're going to take revenge on the Nosh family, we must make it unforgettable for them!"With that, she gently clenched her teeth, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes. "Andy is really a good choice, but to take action against Andy, we must make a proper plan!""We can't be as reckless as last time!"Dianne's face was serious. It was clear that she was truly considering the matter of targeting Andy.However, before Dianne could speak again, Liam's voice rang out."Don't bother thinking about targeting Andy."His expression was calm, his tone indifferent."Why?"At his words, Dianne raised her head to look at Liam. "Andy is the eldest grandson of the Nosh family. If something happens to him, it would be the biggest blow to the Nosh family!""Are you afraid?"She furrowed her brow.Liam's reaction disappointed Dian
In the past, Dianne lived a carefree life, like a princess without worries.However, after returning to the country, everything changed!What Dianne couldn't accept the most was that her parents, who had once cherished her, passed away under the torment of the Nosh family. Other members of the Brown family either died or went mad.She went mad trying to find a way to take revenge on the Nosh family.However, the once proud Brown family could never be a match for the powerful Nosh family of Juneau.Now, with Dianne all alone, how could she possibly take on the Nosh family?During her time back in the country, she tried countless methods and made many attempts, but in the end, all were in vain. Not only did she fail, but she also ended up drawing the Nosh family's attention to her existence.The Nosh family of Juneau loomed over her like an endless storm cloud in the sky, bringing Dianne overwhelming despair.She had exhausted all her efforts, but was powerless to resist or escap
Dianne looked at Liam, a helpless expression crossing her face. "I didn't expect that you'd be even more impulsive than I am! I suppose this time, you're lucky."Otherwise, with the strength of the Nosh family, you probably wouldn't have made it out alive."She turned around and glanced at the two scissors that had fallen to the ground, bitterness filling her gaze. "But looking at it now, it seems we both underestimated the situation!"Dianne's slender back was filled with sorrow."Are you seeking revenge on Andy, or other members of the Nosh family?"Looking at the scene before him, Liam's eyes flashed with confusion. He could see Dianne's deep hatred for the Nosh family, but what he did not understand was who exactly her hatred was directed at."As long as they're from the Nosh family, I want to kill them all!""Killing Andy would be the best, but if I can't even kill you, how could I possibly take on the Nosh family's legitimate eldest grandson, who is protected by experts?"
However, before the scissors could stab, they were stopped by Liam. He lowered his head, frowning as he looked at the woman in his arms.Noticing this, the woman froze. Her jade lips bit down fiercely, and in her eyes, filled with hatred, there was also a trace of determination.In the next moment, the woman turned the scissors around and stabbed them straight into her own chest!Just as she had said earlier: If I couldn't kill the Nosh family members, then I would rather kill myself!Bang—Just as the scissors were about to pierce her chest, a sharp sound suddenly rang out.Liam flicked his finger, sending the scissors flying once more."What are you doing?" he frowned and asked.When Liam first saw this woman, he had thought she was a member of the Nosh family who had just come from the villa, planning to ambush him and take revenge for the Nosh family.But who would have thought, the woman's words and actions completely overturned Liam's initial thoughts!"If I couldn't ki
"Yes! My grandfather has always been here!"Hearing Liam's words, Andy nodded repeatedly, his face filled with terror as he nervously asked, "I've already told you where my grandfather is.""You... can you spare me..."Andy begged incessantly."If the black and white messengers sent by your Nosh family had encountered me, an ordinary person, do you think they would spare me?"Upon hearing this, Liam lowered his head to look at Andy."I..."Andy's body trembled violently, and he let out a hoarse scream, crying out loudly, "Please, I was wrong, really! Please spare me..."He truly wanted to survive."When your Nosh family decided to send someone thousands of miles just to kill me, you should have already anticipated everything that is happening now."Liam's voice was emotionless.The next moment, a cold gleam suddenly flashed.Thud—There was a dull sound, and Andy's head immediately rolled off."Ah!"At that moment, the entire hall of the villa was filled with a series of
Andy was also a martial artist.Although he was just a master of internal energy, as the eldest grandson of the Nosh family, Andy had quite an expansive outlook!But even so, he could not see through the woman standing next to Liam, let alone determine her true strength!The more he tried, the more fear filled his heart.One strike!Just one strike!It shattered the confidence he had carried with him all this time!Andy had once heard Yaksha say that Liam was accompanied by a bodyguard of extraordinary strength. At the time, Andy had dismissed it completely.He even joked with Yaksha, saying that if given the chance, he would definitely try to have some fun with this so-called bodyguard of Liam!But after today's events, Andy realized just how ridiculous his previous thoughts had been!A woman so stunning and breathtaking, almost like a demoness—how could someone like him ever have the right to be involved with her?The more he thought about it, the greater the fear in his h
But this is fine. With Liam's corpse in tow, I can go and seek credit from Grandpa!However, just at this moment...Clang—A cold gleam suddenly flashed before Liam's body.Without any obstruction, this gleam, carrying boundless sharpness, sliced through the air from the mighty tiger roaring in the sky!Ow—In an instant, the tiger, which had been roaring in the sky, emitted a howl like a defeated dog.It did not have time to react before it was split in half!At the same time..."I..."Mister Quentin and the dozens of internal martial artists beside him all shuddered simultaneously.Mister Quentin and the others struggled to lift their heads to look at Liam again. They opened their mouths but could not utter a sound.Then...A faint red line appeared on their foreheads.The next moment...Poof—With a muffled sound, the faint red line suddenly spread.Including Mister Quentin, the dozens of martial artists were instantly split in half, just like the tiger in the sky!
Since Liam's release from prison, he has encountered some martial artists.But without exception, all of these martial artists possessed skills that were of the lowest caliber.Moreover, the opinions of the Hestian people on traditional Hestian martial arts once made Liam think that, like traditional Hestian medicine, ancient martial arts in Hestia had long been lost to time.After all, in the Central Military District, where Gabriel is based, only a few people still know about Hestian martial arts!But Liam never expected that, this time in Juneau, he would witness the Eight Trigrams Combined Strike!It seems that the state of ancient Hestian martial arts is not as he had initially thought, already lost!"Hmm?"The moment he heard Liam's words, Mister Quentin in front of him suddenly froze, his previous movements becoming stiff!He had never imagined that Liam would directly expose the Nosh family's secret martial art!You see, the foundation of the Nosh family's power in Jun
"Dead?"Andy froze for a moment, a flash of surprise flickering in his eyes!He simply could not believe that the two of them, Monochrome Duo Wraiths—who were considered top-tier martial arts masters—could be killed by this young man right in front of him!"It's absurd!"The next moment, a mocking expression appeared on Andy's face. "Although I don't know how you managed to escape the pursuit of Monochrome Duo Wraiths, and still dared to come to Juneau to find us."But for someone who's come to die like you, I'm actually quite satisfied."He sneered and said, "Speak, how do you want to die?""Since all the members of your Nosh family are here." Liam imitated Andy's tone, showing a smile as he spoke, "Speak, how do you want to die?""You ignorant brat, you still dare to talk arrogantly!"Seeing this, the elder standing in front of Andy's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light.Boom—In the next moment, his body paused sharply and, like a tiger descending from the mountain,
