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
"Serena—"Layla's face was filled with worry. She opened her mouth to persuade Serena, but before she could speak, Etchen's sharp voice rang out as he glared at Serena angrily."Stop pretending! All of this is clearly your doing!"The rest of the Lloyd family members had similar reactions. Sensing that Henry was inclined to spare them, they all breathed long sighs of relief and relaxed.However, Serena paid no attention to the reactions of her family."Let's go," she said, stepping forward after hearing Henry's words."Wait a minute!" Henry interrupted her movements with a cold smile. He turned around and took a funeral outfit from one of his guards.He handed Serena the clothes. "Put this on! Since Isaac died because of you, you must mourn him as his wife!"Serena was stunned. "What?"Henry narrowed his eyes. "What? You don't want to?""No," Serena replied expressionlessly, reaching out to take the clothes.As Serena began to change, Henry turned his head and signaled to hi
"Yes, sir!"The guards, upon receiving the order, immediately began striding towards Serena."I..."Serena trembled upon hearing Henry's words, a flicker of despair finally flashing across her face. Just as the guards were about to reach her, a voice rang out from outside the door."I'd like to see who dares!"Immediately after, a tall and imposing figure stepped into the Lloyd household's grand hall.Serena was stunned at the sight. "Liam?"Layla raised her tear-filled eyes. "Is that you, brother-in-law?"Everyone in the Lloyd family was stunned, completely surprised that Liam would arrive at that critical moment.Henry froze momentarily upon hearing the voice behind him. Then, he burst into a delighted laugh. "Hahaha! It seems the heavens have eyes. They won't let Isaac leave with such grievances! They want me to avenge him!""You must be Liam? Henry turned his head, his eyes flashing with icy killing intent as he looked at the figure in the living room. However, as soon
Serena gritted her teeth and looked angrily at Liam. "What are you doing?!"Before Liam could respond, Serena hastily interjected, "General Ender, please understand, Liam doesn't know any better. As soon as he came in, he started spouting nonsense. Don't take it to heart. You can see for yourself, there's no way he could be responsible for hurting Isaac..."Despite her anger, Serena continued to defend Liam. However, she suddenly froze mid-sentence.Henry's state was extremely peculiar. Not only did he not respond to her words, but the previously arrogant and domineering Henry stood motionless. His once overbearing face had turned ashen.He clenched his fists tightly, and his body was even trembling slightly.All those reactions gave Serena an inexplicable feeling. It seemed as if Henry was afraid, but what could a decorated general of the Central Military Region possibly fear?Following Henry’s gaze, Serena turned her head and saw Liam standing in the middle of the living room.
As Henry thought about all of that, he was seething with anger. His body trembled, and his mind was racing with thoughts.Liam, who had been waiting for a response, lost his patience. "I’m asking you a question!" Liam demanded, his eyes glinting coldly as he stared at Henry. "Who gave you the audacity to lay a hand on Serena?"The members of the Lloyd family were taken aback. Liam was actually questioning Henry!Henry finally reacted, suddenly raising his hand. Clang!The soldiers promptly raised their spears, and the air in the living room grew tense and oppressive."Liam… This reckless fool is courting death!" The Lloyd family members shivered, thinking that Henry would soon order Liam's execution.However, Henry did something unexpected. He bowed deeply towards Liam. Henry's voice, trembling slightly, echoed in the room. "My deepest apologies. We have intruded! We will leave immediately!"A deathly silence filled the room. Suddenly, the living room of the Lloyd fami
Liam was not lying. He really had not done anything. He did not even know what had just happened. All he did was question Henry a few times, and Henry hastily turned around and left with his team. The entire situation left Liam himself a bit perplexed."How is it possible that you did nothing?" Serena was clearly unsatisfied with Liam's answer. Her eyes widened as she urgently asked, "Do you even know who he is? Henry is a general in the Central Military Region! Why would he be so scared after meeting you? His nephew's death may not be our doing, but it's still related to us! How could he just leave so easily?"Serena stared at Liam intently. "Liam, what on earth are you hiding from me?"Hailey approached the pair with a fawning smile, enthusiastically saying, "What's so strange about it? The fact that General Ender, who brought so many soldiers with him, was scared off by a few words from Liam only shows how powerful he is!"I always knew Liam was capable, but I didn't expec
"Your brother-in-law just saved our lives! You saw it yourself. That worthless Henry was scared out of his wits as soon as he showed up!"Hailey ignored the fact that Serena had divorced Liam under pressure and continued to refer to Liam as Etchen's brother-in-law. "Speak nicely to your brother-in-law. After all, we are family. If something happens, he'll surely help you!"As she spoke, she turned to Liam with a smile, trying to appear close. "Right, Liam? We are family, after all!"Etchen sneered. "Mom! You don't really think General Ender left because of Liam, do you?"Hailey was taken aback. "What do you mean?"Etchen shook his head. "Mom, you can't just believe whatever that useless person says! General Ender's departure had nothing to do with him. He dares to claim credit for it! He says he saved the highest commander in the Central Military Region. Such ridiculous claims. Only he could say something like that!"As he spoke, he pointed at his phone screen. "When I noticed th
At that time, Yaksha casually mentioned that Liam was accompanied by a woman protecting him.When the Monochrome Duo Wraiths heard this, they found it utterly ridiculous.They did not know what kind of man needs a woman to protect him?When Arkem sent the Monochrome Duo Wraiths, he probably had similar thoughts—Liam would be dealt with swiftly!After all, compared to ordinary people, an advanced martial arts Master is already superhuman!But even in their wildest dreams, the Monochrome Duo Wraiths never expected the female bodyguard they underestimated and looked down upon turned out to be a martial arts Ascendant!Yes.A martial arts Ascendant!Only a martial arts Ascendant could effortlessly cleave the front of a massive truck in half with a single slash!When that scene unfolded before their eyes, the Monochrome Duo Wraiths froze on the spot!How many martial arts Ascendants are there in the entire Hestia?Since stepping into the martial arts world, the Monochrome Duo Wr
It was not just the man in white who froze.The man in black also stood there in shock, staring at Liam with an expression full of disbelief!Earlier, after receiving hints from Yaksha that Liam might be extraordinarily skilled, they made some preparations.To avoid a direct confrontation that could cause unnecessary trouble, they decided to use a truck to kill Liam!With the Nosh family's influence in Juneau, killing someone with a truck wouldn ot cause any negative repercussions at all. And a ten-ton truck hitting at full force could completely turn Liam into pulp!But who could have imagined…Despite such a violent collision, Liam was completely unharmed, as if he hadn't been affected in the slightest!Their hearts were filled with astonishment!And at that moment—Buzz—Up ahead, a dazzling flash of light suddenly appeared!A gleam of a blade shot down abruptly from above, slicing through the front of the truck ahead!Boom!!!In an instant, the truck blocking Liam's pa
"My parents said you told them you were taking over South City Bank."Serena sighed.Clearly, she had not taken the statement seriously. Even though she once had her suspicions, she eventually dismissed those thoughts after calming down.After all, the acquisition of United Finance by the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had happened so swiftly that news of it had not yet spread widely. Only some rumors had circulated within certain inner circles in South City.Serena knew nothing of this.To her, Liam's claim about taking over South City Bank sounded utterly ridiculous."So, since your mother already told you my purpose for going to South City Bank, why are you asking me where I got the information from?" Liam raised his head and looked at Serena."You…"Hearing this, Serena froze, her stunning face full of confusion. She couldn't make sense of what Liam was saying."Ah…"Seeing her reaction, Liam sighed lightly. He was about to take out his phone to make a call."I'll let
She looked at Liam, her gaze filled with sincerity.The moment Liam heard what Serena said, he froze.His eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at her.This was the first time Liam had heard Serena apologize!"If it weren't for you this time, I really don't know what would've happened to the Serena Group..."Serena lowered her head, her cold yet stunning face showing a trace of complexity.Seeing this, Liam was taken aback once again.Compared to the Serena of the past, she had changed so much!It was clear that after going through a series of events, Serena had grown a lot. Her attitude had softened significantly."You don't need to thank me for those matters." But quickly, Liam regained his composure and waved it off lightly. "After all, those poisoned patients were innocent. I couldn't bear to see them suffer like that."However, there's a slight error in what you just said."He raised his head to look at Serena."It wasn't the master of the Medicine Guild who treate
"Hmph!"However, Lucy ignored Agustine. With a cold snort, she angrily picked up the approval documents for the White Glycoside Cream and marched out of the room.Seeing this, Agustine hurriedly followed her.In his view, Lucy, the person in charge of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, was perfect in every way, except for her somewhat fiery temper.Meanwhile, Liam had no idea what had happened after he left. But even if he had known, he might have assumed Lucy's reaction was due to her frustration over the promotion of White Glycoside Cream.At the moment, he was already at the airport, boarding a flight back to South City.The next day.Following the address agreed upon with Serena, Liam arrived at a coffee shop in South City.He was quite familiar with this place. This was where he and Serena had met for the first time.On the day Liam was released from prison, Serena had wanted to meet him here, but Hailey had done everything possible to stop it — all in this very coff
Even so, she was still shocked by the news about Matthias."Whether or not we visit doesn't matter."However, faced with an opportunity that most people could only dream of, Liam remained unusually calm. He waved his hand and said, "Doing more beneficial work for the advancement of traditional Hestian medicine is far more important than visiting me!"Liam did not care much about Matthias's visit. For him, he had already witnessed far broader horizons!"In any case, Grandmaster Burrey, thank you this time!"Agustine did not dare respond directly to Liam's words. Instead, he kept bowing his head in gratitude, saying repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you.""No need to thank me." Liam turned to Agustine and said, "If you truly feel indebted, then work closely with Lucy to expedite the production of the White Glycoside Cream.""I'll still have use for the medication once it's launched.""Grandmaster Burrey, rest assured!"Hearing this, Agustine lifted his head and responded earnestly,
"Miss Hill…"Hearing Lucy's words, Agustine froze suddenly. He opened his mouth but couldn't figure out how to respond at that moment.Whether it was Lucy's remarks or the questions raised by Matthias, neither was wrong.It was just that they viewed things from different perspectives.The more it was like this, the more unsure Agustine was about how to persuade them.However, at this moment—"That's enough," Liam's voice sounded. He waved his hand and said calmly, "It's fine if we don't promote it for now. As long as the medicine can go to market, there won't be any problems."Liam maintained a rather composed attitude about all of this. After all, the original purpose of the White Glycoside Cream was simply to treat those few patients with severe skin damage at Golden Cross Hospital.For now, as long as they could obtain the medicine and heal their scars, the White Glycoside Cream would have fulfilled its intended purpose."But Grandmaster Burrey…" Hearing this, Lucy turned he
Even though the Hill family's current strength was impressive, and the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's influence continued to expand, they still could not quite compare when faced with someone of Matthias's status."That's right!" Agustine nodded, smiling. "Mister Kien has been very supportive of the relevant matters, and has even made some policy changes..."Then, he mentioned Matthias's latest orders regarding traditional Hestian medicine."Mister Kien has made so many new decisions?" Hearing this, Lucy's face showed a hint of surprise. "Does this mean that Mister Kien has started to recognize ancient Hestian medicine?""Mainly because the effects of the White Glycoside Cream are truly astonishing..." Agustine smiled wryly."If that's the case, then it's a good thing." Liam glanced at Agustine and spoke softly.At first, he had thought that reviving ancient Hestian medicine would require a lot of effort. But now, it seemed that with the gradual shift in the official stance
"When you go to communicate with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, make sure to explain things thoroughly to Grandmaster Burrey."Matthias was worried that not allowing the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to excessively promote the White Glycoside Cream might leave a bad impression on Liam.He looked at Agustine and said, "It's not that we're not allowing the promotion of White Glycoside Cream, but this moment is just too special.""For the future of traditional Hestian medicine, we hope Grandmaster Burrey can understand."Once the current chaos in the market calms down, the Hestia Drug Administration will be able to step in and help the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation with the promotion, as a form of compensation!"If this situation affects the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, I will apologize to Grandmaster Burrey in person when I go to South City in a few days!"It was clear that Matthias truly valued Liam. When he spoke, he was sincere!Mainly because the effe
