As Liam had anticipated, he was indeed a bit bewildered. However, his confusion was not due to the ferocity of Andrew's punches, but rather because he felt that Andrew's martial arts were surprisingly weak.Liam had never had a standard for comparison, so he did not know his own strength. Thus, when Andrew first appeared, Liam took him quite seriously, especially given the reactions of those around him. The man in front of him, dressed in tight-fitting clothes, should have been quite formidable.However, he had not expected that when Andrew made his move, he would be so weak. Could it be a misconception?A hint of confusion flashed through Liam's mind. However, he quickly dismissed those thoughts. Whether he was strong or weak would soon be revealed.Since Andrew used the Shattering Fist technique, Liam decided to use it too.With a focused gaze, Liam faced Andrew's incoming punch. He sank his shoulder and shifted his body, forming his fist into a tiger stance and striking out f
Liam squinted when he recalled Andrew's shocked words. He had only heard about the different levels of martial artists from Howser. However, the concept of an Ascendant was entirely new to him. "An Ascendant of martial arts? What's a martial arts Ascendant?" He lowered his head and looked at Andrew, who lay on the ground, his face pale. "A martial artist who can manipulate inner energy is a Master, and one who can project this energy over five inches outside their body is an Ascendant!" Andrew muttered, his eyes vacant. "However, Ascendants are extremely rare. Even as the top fighter of Shattering Fist, I can barely project my energy over three inches..."It was evident that Andrew could not believe he had seen a martial arts Ascendant with his own eyes, let alone one who was so young."Is that so? Since when did such people exist in this world?" Andrew did not respond to Liam. He gazed blankly at the sky. Liam's single punch had shattered all of Andrew's fighting spirit.
The token was of immense significance to the entire Warchester family.To put it mildly, the Warchester family's status in Hestia was inseparable from the token.Although no one knew exactly what had happened, the Warchesters were aware that Joshua would leave with that token whenever the family faced great difficulties.When he returned, all the family's problems would mysteriously vanish.However, what they did not expect was that the token, which had been the Warchester family's cornerstone for nearly four years, did not actually belong to them."It's called the Zenith Token," Joshua said, looking at Liam's casual handling of the token.He opened his mouth as if wanting to explain something to Liam, but remembering the recent events, he did not have the courage to continue."The Zenith Token? What a ridiculous name," Liam scoffed.He glanced around at the chaotic scene and said, "If you had brought it out earlier, none of this would have happened, right?"Joshua was stunned
Outside the gates of the Emperor-One Estate, an eerie stillness fell once more.The only sound was the crash of the bronze gate hitting the ground, sending dust swirling into the air. As the dust settled, the members of the Warchester family stood frozen in place, as if immobilized by a spell.Their eyes trembled with fear and shock, momentarily forgetting to breathe. The scene before them was beyond their comprehension. Could a person smash down a nearly five-meter-high, several-ton bronze gate using only their bare hands?It seemed like a fever dream.After dismantling the massive gate with his hands, Liam acted as if he had done something trivial.He turned his head lightly, looked at Joshua, and said calmly, "From now on, without my permission, the Warchester family doesn't need a gate. That way, if someone else comes, they won't have trouble getting in."Having said that, Liam turned to leave the Warchester family.Joshua trembled at Liam's words and quickly nodded in res
Joshua suddenly shuddered. How could he have known?Dante was not dead, but it had only taken Liam four years to achieve such strength!The next moment, Joshua abruptly looked at the members of the Warchester family. "Investigate him now! Find out the identity of that young man at all costs!"A member of the Warchester family hesitated, thinking Joshua wanted to take revenge on Liam."Sir, with his strength, there's no need for us to provoke him further..."Joshua quickly dismissed his assumption. "What are you thinking? This time, it was indeed us who were disrespectful first! Although he has already taught us a lesson, it's far from enough. We must personally apologize!"Also, remember his words. Without his permission, the gates of the Warchester family must not be repaired!"While speaking, Joshua's expression was extremely serious."Yes!"The members of the Warchester family were stunned for a moment before nodding in agreement.Joshua finally felt relieved. "Who would h
However, Liam did not expose Serena. Just as he used to, he turned his head toward Serena and said, "Let's go then.""Oh... Okay!"Serena hesitated for a moment, then quickly caught up to Liam.With her tall, slender figure and high heels, Serena appeared even more graceful and enchanting, especially when standing next to the handsome and upright Liam. They looked like a perfect match.It was no wonder many people used to say that Serena and Liam were like a couple blessed by the heavens. Judging by their appearance alone, they indeed seemed well-matched!"It seems like it's been a long time since we went out for a walk like this," Liam remarked, glancing at Serena as they walked towards the Third Prison.Serena paused as a conflicted smile flickered across her face. "It appears so… Yes, it feels like it's been a long time."They had not communicated at all since Liam was imprisoned four years ago. Even after Liam was released, every meeting was filled with arguments and disagre
However, upon hearing Liam's words, Serena's eyes widened in disbelief. She instinctively wanted to scold him for bragging again. What Alba white truffle, premium highland tea, seventy-year-old whiskey.Those were things Serena seldom encountered, let alone Liam, a convict in prison. Did someone send them to him? Impossible!However, just as Serena was about to speak, she stopped abruptly. After all, she came to the Third Prison to verify everything. Looking at Liam’s confident demeanor, he did not seem to be making things up. Could it be that all of it was true?Serena instinctively raised her head to look at Liam, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes as she frowned."It seems you did quite well in prison. Those high-ranking officers from the Central Military Region you mentioned previously, did you meet them in prison?"Liam was momentarily stunned. In the past, whenever he mentioned them, Serena would immediately question him harshly. Why was her reaction so strange all of
Serena was momentarily stunned. She could not understand why, but a sudden warmth surged in her heart upon hearing Liam's words.However, in the next moment, she almost blurted out, "How can you help me?"After all, given Liam's abilities, it would be quite challenging for him to actually assist her. However, the fact that Liam had the intention to help was already enough to make her feel content.Soon, Serena snapped back to reality. If Liam was as capable as he claimed, not only could he help her, he could transform the entire Lloyd Group overnight with just a few words. Looking at Liam's calm and composed face, Serena felt a bit dazed. Was any of it even possible?She vaguely remembered Liam once promising that he would never deceive her, but the situation he described was just too incredible to believe.Fortunately, they were about to reach the Third Prison, where all her questions would soon be answered.For reasons she could not explain, Serena, who had initially felt no
