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 was the day he had promised to complete the task for Dante."The Warchester family…"As he pondered over what the old man had told him, Liam squinted slightly. The task handed to him was simple.Go to the Warchester family and retrieve an item.Liam knew a bit about the Warchester family. Known as the 'King of Hestian Shipping', the Warchester family controlled more than half of Hestia's shipping business. Having dealt with many storms over the years, they had accumulated substantial wealth and influence, making them an undeniable giant. Even the Hill family could not compare to the Warchester family's status.While Liam was in prison, he had no idea about the Warchester family's significance. It was only after his release that he learned about their stature. It made him even more curious about Dante. After all, when Dante mentioned the Warchester family, his casual attitude was as if he was talking about an insignificant ant."It's about time."Liam checked the time and
"May I go in now?" Liam stepped forward, preparing to enter the first mansion of the Emperor-One Estate. However, just as he reached the entrance, he was abruptly stopped.A bodyguard, frowning at Liam with disdain, demanded, "What do you think you're doing? Who told you to come here?"Liam was taken aback. "Didn't you say I could go in?"The bodyguard's eyes widened as he snapped, "When did I ever say that? I said you could leave! Mister Warchester isn't here today. You should leave right now!"Liam frowned. "Mister Warchester isn't here? If Mister Warchester isn't here, why didn't you tell me sooner? Why make me wait at the gate for so long?"The bodyguard sneered, shaking his head dismissively. "It was your choice to wait. What does that have to do with me? Even if you waited, so what? Do you think you can come to the Warchester family estate just because you want to?"Liam squinted. "So, you're saying I can't enter the Warchester Residence today? What if I insist on going i
The man in athletic attire had a thin waist and a broad back. His temples were pronounced, and his muscles bulged against his tracksuit, exuding immense power. His hands, holding a teacup, were covered with calluses, and his sharp eyes gleamed with a fierce light. He was clearly a martial artist of extraordinary skill. Sharing a table and drinks with the head of the Warchester family further indicated his esteemed status.The man in athletic attire pointed to a nearby surveillance monitor and looked at Joshua. "Mister Warchester, did you summon me back from the capital just for today?"The monitor showed the fight outside the Warchester family mansion, where Liam's figure was clearly visible.Joshua nodded after glancing at the monitor. "Indeed. All I need is for you to spend the day here chatting and drinking tea with me, Master Specter. I'll pay you thirty million dollars for your trouble. Of course, if any minor issues arise, I hope you can also handle them for me."The man Jo
Despite the fear in Joshua's eyes quickly disappearing, Andrew still noticed it. He could not help but be curious about the kind of person who could still instill such fear in the renowned Hestian ship magnate even after their death. However, the curiosity quickly passed as it did not hold much significance for him."Just a young boy," Andrew muttered, shaking his head after glancing at the surveillance footage again."Master Specter, try this freshly brewed Pearl Oolong Tea," Joshua said, noticing the confidence in Andrew's demeanor.It allowed him to relax a bit, and he poured another cup of tea for Andrew with a smile.Although Joshua had heard that Dante was seriously injured and on the brink of death, the fear that Dante instilled in them was irreplaceable. They always believed that Dante could not be defeated so easily.However, Joshua finally felt relieved to see that the person coming to demand things was an unknown young man and not one of Dante's followers.Joshua sho
"Master Specter..."Joshua looked at Andrew. "Mister Warchester, there's no need to worry."Andrew smiled faintly and stood up. "Let's go out and have a look. I've developed a bit of interest in this lad."With that, he stepped towards the door.The commotion at the entrance had also caught the attention of the other guards and personnel within the manor. They curiously hurried toward the entrance.Who could be so bold as to cause trouble at the Warchester household's front door?Just as Liam kicked another guard against the Warchester family's gate, the large brass doors slowly creaked open. A large group of people emerged from inside, their eyes narrowing as they took in the scene of the scattered guards. They surrounded Liam instantly.Despite the situation, Liam remained calm, casually saying, "I thought such a big manor might be empty. Seems like I didn't knock the right way at first."He glanced around at the crowd and said, "Which of you is Joshua? Return what you took
It was important to note that Andrew's status was extraordinary. He was rarely seen unless it was a significant occasion.Joshua had invited Andrew, so what urgent matter had arisen?However, when the members of the Warchester family saw Andrew appear, they immediately relaxed. They were a bit worried when they saw Liam take down so many bodyguards earlier. With Andrew around, anyone who dared to cause trouble with the Warchesters would only face death.Liam squinted. He sized up the suddenly appearing Andrew and said, "Respecting the elders and masters? Respecting the elders and masters depends on the person! Those who don't return what they take don't deserve respect!"A hint of disdain flashed across Andrew's face. "What could the Warchester family possibly take from you? Ridiculous! Since your master didn't teach you manners, I'll teach you. Let's see how much skill you have, daring to cause trouble for the Warchesters!"Before the words even settled, Andrew's powerful aura
Liam's stubbornness made Dianne furious!She wanted to see just how Liam planned to get himself killed!Seeing this, Liam could only shake his head helplessly.But knowing that no matter what he said, Dianne wouldn't believe him, he didn't bother explaining.Soon, Liam and Dianne arrived near Sky Harmoney Villa. From a distance, they could see the inner city of Juneau, with its centuries-old city walls standing tall.Sky Harmoney Villa was situated right at the foot of these walls.Reaching this place meant they had officially stepped into the heart of Juneau!Despite its name, Sky Harmoney Villa wasn't an actual manor. Instead, it was an elite residential district composed of interconnected courtyard houses, with no defined walls or gates.After all, ordinary people could never set foot here!The name 'Sky Harmoney' was coined by a renowned feng shui master, who determined that the geography of this area was ideal for gathering energy.And indeed, this place was worthy of be
Stepping out of the car, Liam walked straight toward the Sky Harmoney Villa.Seeing this, Dianne's face flashed with urgency, and she hurriedly followed behind him."We've arrived at Sky Harmoney Villa, but we probably won't even be able to get in. Are you still determined to go?"She tried to persuade Liam as they walked. "I've been talking to you so much, and you haven't listened to a single word!""Can't you calm down and think for a second? Do you really believe this will work?"Frustration surfaced on Dianne's delicate face. "What you're doing now is no different from throwing your life away!"She truly could not understand why Liam seemed so possessed, dead set on seeking revenge against Arkem!Revenge was one thing, but charging in recklessly like this was nothing short of suicide!"The one dying won't be me. It will be Arkem."Liam turned to look at Dianne, a faint smile on his lips. "If you're really worried, then just wait for me here. I should be back soon.""Back
"You..."Inside the car, Dianne stared at Liam, speechless.At first, when Liam told her that he knew where Arkem was, she did not think much of it.But now, the moment she heard the words "Sky Harmoney Villa," she realized that the man beside her might actually know Arkem's whereabouts.And they were now truly on a path to their deaths."Can you tell me what you're thinking?"Dianne sighed, deciding to try persuading him. "You know Arkem has been looking for you all this time. So why are you walking straight into his hands?"She had always thought of herself as reckless.But standing beside Liam, she felt like her impulsiveness was nothing in comparison.Even when she sought revenge, she had never once considered going directly after Arkem."It's precisely because he's been looking for me that I have to meet him."Liam turned his head to look at her and replied calmly.Dianne looked at him, her face full of helplessness.She had no idea how to reason with someone like him
"You…"Hearing Liam's words, Dianne was even more stunned. A hint of urgency flashed across her delicate and captivating face. "Even if you know where Arkem is, that doesn't mean you can do anything about him!""Just the two of us? How could we possibly be a match for Arkem!"Dianne was extremely anxious.It was not that she did not want to take action against Arkem, but Liam's proposal was simply too outrageous!Who was Arkem?How could they possibly make a move against him?Even dealing with Andy was already a huge risk, let alone targeting Arkem, the head of the Nosh family!She could not understand.Even if Arkem wanted this young man's life, he shouldn't be acting so recklessly!Going after Arkem so rashly was no different from seeking death!"You don't need to do anything."Hearing the anxious voice beside him, Liam turned his head and spoke calmly, "When I kill Arkem, you just need to watch from the side.""You… What's wrong with you?!"Dianne's face grew even more
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
