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
"Is that so?"Serena stood behind, her eyes flashing with a sudden realization. Despite the tremendous shock from the recent events, she still could not fully believe that Liam could achieve all that. The kind of status required to scare off a warzone general just by showing up was unimaginable. Moreover, Isaac's death did have some connection with them.Thus, Etchen's explanation and actions seemed more logical. However, thinking back on everything that had happened, Serena felt something was off. She frowned as she recalled Henry's reaction upon seeing Liam, and his words made her think that the general knew Liam.Furthermore, although Etchen claimed his distress signal made the difference, Serena did not see anyone alerting Henry about it. Instead, only after each of Liam's questions did Henry react the way he did.As she watched Liam's retreating figure, Serena felt a sense of confusion. She murmured, "Liam, what does all of this have to do with you? Who helped our family
Who could have known?Just as Liam was about to leave, Hailey suddenly spoke up. "Liam, don't be in such a hurry to go!"She looked at Liam, her face beaming with an uncharacteristic warmth. "Although saving our family had nothing to do with you, we were touched that you came so quickly. We're grateful for that. What I said earlier still stands—we're still family!"I heard from Layla that you live in the Hush Purple Gardens. We understand that men like to brag especially after being in prison, and it can have its impact. Although we aren't upscale enough to live there, you're welcome to stay with us if you want. As for what happened before, everything can be resolved if we talk it through. You can see that Serena's attitude toward you is gradually changing!"Hailey tried her best to persuade Liam to stay. However, despite her apparent enthusiasm, her words still carried a condescending tone. Ignoring Hailey completely, Liam left the Lloyd family mansion without looking back.See
Listening to Hailey and Etchen's unfiltered words beside her, Serena could not help but frown angrily. "Mom, how can you do this? Liam came this time out of concern for us. We've already made him take the blame for us once. How can you even think about doing this to him again?"Hailey's eyes widened in anger as she pointed a chubby finger at Serena, scolding her harshly. "What do you mean, 'how can we do this'? Now you feel sorry for him? Do you remember how I felt when Liam hit me? That useless fool caused our family so many problems. What's wrong with making him pay a little as compensation?"Serena stammered, trying to explain. "But… From what happened today, you can see that he didn't do those things on purpose!"Hailey's voice was shrill and angry. "Not on purpose? If it wasn't on purpose and he still brought such disaster to our family, what would have happened if it was intentional?" She glared at Serena and added, "Speaking of this, I can't believe you're still defending L
Serena tried to find a solution."Mom! What about this? I won't step down as CEO of the Lloyd Group just yet. Instead, we can appoint Etchen as the vice president. Once he gets familiar with the company's development direction, I'll give him the CEO position. After all, even though I know Etchen has made significant progress, he still lacks experience managing the company!"Hailey's eyes widened in anger as she exclaimed, "What do you mean, lacks experience? I believe Etchen is more than capable. Just look at how he handled things this time. He's surpassed you by leaps and bounds! Trust me. With Etchen at the helm, Lloyd Group's future is bright!"Etchen's eyes sparkled with excitement as he overheard the conversation. "I think I can do it too! Even if there's something I don't know, I can learn it!"Etchen had always dreamed of making a name for himself. Despite receiving significant help from Hailey, his own limitations led to repeated failures in his ventures. However, he neve
Serena gently nodded. "Alright."Hailey's face flashed with a false sense of concern. "Ah, Serena, there's no need to be so disheartened. Didn't I tell you? It's only because of the current special circumstances that you're temporarily not allowed to be the president of the Lloyd Group.Hailey smiled warmly. "When the situation improves, you can resume your leadership. Besides, even though Etchen is the president, you're still part of the family. If there are any issues, you can still get involved." "I understand."Serena forced herself to show a bitter smile. She was never someone who craved power. The Lloyd Group was at a crucial stage of development, and suddenly replacing her as CEO felt like her efforts were being snatched away, even though it was by her family.Moreover, Serena was genuinely concerned about Etchen's capabilities. Regardless of her thoughts, Etchen, on the other hand, was extremely excited. His eyes sparkled, and he barely felt the pain in his leg. Becoming
"That useless trash, what did he do this time?" Sam turned his head toward Charice, his voice dry and hoarse. "Who… who knows…" Charice shook her head, her expression stiff. "Could it really be that he caused some huge trouble, which is why such a big scene happened?" Just based on that scene earlier—forget about escorting Liam. It was enough to wage a small-scale battle! Without hesitation, they quickly picked up their pace and hurried forward. "The man at the entrance just now, the one taken away in the military vehicle—do you know what happened?" Charice stopped a staff member of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, who had also been hiding to the side in shock, and hurriedly asked. They wanted to understand exactly what had happened! Why had so many soldiers chosen to take Liam away right in front of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building? However, the staff member they questioned was just a low-level employee of the foundation. Forget t
"Grandmaster Burrey!" Jerry hurried over to Liam, came to a halt, and saluted respectfully before quickly explaining, "There was an unexpected situation just now, and Commander Warren had to handle it, so he couldn't come to pick you up!" "I hope you understand!" As he spoke, he was clearly worried about displeasing Liam. "It's fine." Hearing this, Liam gently shook his head. He never really cared about such matters. However, when he saw the grand convoy behind him, he couldn't help but sigh again. "Didn't I tell Gabriel before to avoid all this unnecessary fuss?" Every time Gabriel came to see him, the scene he created always gave Liam a headache. "Grandmaster Burrey…" Hearing Liam's words, Jerry froze momentarily before cautiously raising his head to look at him. "Commander Warren specifically instructed us that the most important thing is to ensure your safety…" "Alright then…" Liam sighed helplessly. He could tell that Gabriel meant well, but thi
For him, revealing his identity was never a concern. Liam had never deliberately concealed who he was. He simply did not want unnecessary trouble. "Alright." Hearing Liam's response, Lucy gently nodded. "I just hope that through our efforts, we can gradually change the perception of traditional Hestian medicine among the people of Hestia." Liam lifted his gaze toward the pharmaceutical factory operating in the distance, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. This was what he had always wanted to accomplish! "Grandmaster Burrey, don't worry. It will happen!" Standing behind Liam, Lucy looked as picturesque as a painting. Her delicate face was adorned with a radiant smile. She had never doubted Liam. The Next Day After wrapping up their affairs, Liam and Lucy returned to South City together. Liam had not asked Lucy to accompany him, but she mentioned that she had other matters to handle at the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's South City branch.
"Ginland..." Thinking of that place, Liam let out a cold snort. "Are there any other particularly difficult issues?" He turned his head to look at Lucy and asked. "There's nothing else too tricky left." Lucy looked at Liam with a smile. "We've taken care of everything." For them, the most difficult times had already passed. But before seeing Liam, they still felt somewhat unsettled. Now that he was here, Lucy and the others could finally put their minds at ease. "Then let's go check out the White Glycoside Cream production facility." Even though Lucy told Liam that everything had been handled, he couldn't just ignore it completely. Liam still decided to visit the production site himself. "No problem." Lucy's smile grew even brighter. She actually wanted Liam to see the results of their hard work over this period. If they could earn some praise from Grandmaster Burrey, that would be even better. Without delay, after instructing the driver on the
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
