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
Liam did not notice the change in Serena's attitude as she stood behind him. When he saw the iron gate of the prison closing in front of him, Liam was momentarily stunned. He had not expected this to happen.Then, Liam extended his hand again and knocked on the prison's large iron gate.Knock, knock, knock!Upon hearing the knocks, a prison guard poked his head out again as he impatiently asked, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you? Without an appointment, there's no way you can visit!"Liam calmly replied, "Go and report to your warden, and tell him that Liam Burrey has returned."The guard snorted upon hearing Liam's words. It was clear he did not take it seriously. "Liam who? Fine, wait here then!"With that, the guard turned and slammed the gate shut.Liam frowned slightly as he turned to Serena and said patiently, "Let's wait a bit, Serena. I didn't know that the Third Prison now requires appointments. Just wait a little while. The warden will come out to greet us soon—"
"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,
During all of this, Andy stood still, not moving at all. Even when the guests scattered in panic, he did not say a word.His muscles were tense, appearing calm on the outside, but in reality, he was extremely nervous!The reason was simple.His grandfather had sent Monochrome Duo Wraiths to the South City for a mission, but they had not completed it and returned to Juneau.Instead, their target had found him without any effort, calm and composed!Although Andy still could not believe that advanced martial arts Masters like Monochrome Duo Wraiths could not handle an unknown young man, the situation in front of him was already speaking for itself!Andy had no idea what had happened at that time. But he was sure that the young man standing before him, with his handsome looks, was not someone to be underestimated.Thus, Andy was fully alert!It was not just Andy.Inside the villa, there were also other members of the Nosh family who had not fled.Or rather, after what Liam had sa
"I'll give you a hint."Liam gave a faint smile, but there was no emotion behind it. "Your grandfather, Arkem, sent someone to South City to find me, didn't he?""South City…"Andy froze for a moment.The next moment, his body trembled, and his eyes widened in shock. "You... you're that... Liam Burrey?!"Although Yaksha had brought Godfrey's body to Juneau to meet Arkem in secret, with very few people knowing about it, over time, the news eventually spread through the Nosh family.Not to mention, Arkem had directly sent the Monochrome Duo Wraiths to South City.The sudden disappearance of Arkem's trusted aides, who had always been by his side, was bound to raise suspicion.Most importantly, the severed arm of Yaksha had not returned to South City but remained in Juneau with the Nosh family.Through his daily, hate-filled rants, many members of the Nosh family in Juneau had learned the name of the person who killed Godfrey — the mysterious Liam from South City!However, unlike
Elsa stood dazed in place.She stared at Michael, who had collapsed on the ground, already lifeless, her eyes trembling uncontrollably.Even now, Elsa could not accept it—her son had just died right in front of her!"I... I will fight you to the death!"In the next moment, Elsa suddenly lifted her head, her face contorted, her eyes wide with rage as she rushed towards Liam. "I'll make you bury my son!"You damn, knife-wielding b*stard, I will kill you!"Her hoarse cries echoed throughout the villa's living room."You're so desperate... want to die?"Seeing this, Liam lowered his head and looked at Elsa below."I..."Upon hearing Liam's words, Elsa trembled, suddenly snapping back to her senses.Although Michael's death left her heartbroken, Elsa was not ready to die—she had not lived enough yet!She could not possibly want to die!Elsa immediately stopped in her tracks."Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I don't want to die! My son is dead! That's enough! I don't want to die!
"I didn't expect that I hadn't found you yet, and you came right to my doorstep!"Speak! What is your purpose for following behind Elsa and the others and coming to my Nosh family's banquet?"He stared at Liam, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light.As the legitimate eldest grandson of the Nosh family in Juneau, Andy was no pampered, unskilled rich second generation. He was very intelligent!Andy clearly knew that following behind Elsa and the others without being noticed, and even sneaking into the villa without alarming security, was no ordinary feat.All of this was not something just anyone could accomplish!Therefore, when facing Liam, he did not act rashly.However, Andy was quite clever, but there were always those at the scene who did not understand the situation."I didn't expect this b*stard to dare follow us the whole way!" Michael suddenly reached out, pointing at Liam while speaking harshly, "And you still dare tell Mister Andy Nosh that we brought you here!"We
He noticed this scene.Andy's expression suddenly darkened, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.This villa was his private residence.Although it had been provided for the evening banquet, most of the villa contained Andy's personal belongings, especially on the second floor, where his bedroom was.If it were not for today's public display, Andy would never have allowed someone like Elsa to go up to the second floor of the villa!And now, someone actually dared to step onto the second floor of the villa without his permission!They were really courting death!"Who allowed you to go up there?"Andy's face was gloomy, and his voice was icy cold."Do I need your permission to go up there?"Liam looked down from a higher vantage point, answering淡ly."Do you dare speak to me like that?"As soon as Andy heard Liam's words, his expression changed dramatically.As the legitimate eldest grandson of the Nosh family, one of the most influential families in Juneau, the future
Elsa lifted her head and looked at Andy."I didn't mean that."Upon hearing this, Andy shook his head.He squinted as he examined Elsa, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.The fearful attitude that Elsa and Michael showed in front of him made Andy feel quite proud. This situation proved that he held supreme authority in their hearts.As long as this was the case, it meant he could easily control the Link family!However, controlling subordinates required more than just authority. It needed a balance of both favor and power!Only then could he leave a deep impression on the other guests at this banquet!"What I meant was, since you're unwell, you should get more rest."Andy's tone changed, and he smiled warmly, speaking in a friendly manner."As for the matter this time, I've understood it, and of course, you're not to blame.""Thank you, Mister Nosh!"Hearing Andy's words, Elsa's face lit up with surprise, and she repeatedly bowed to thank him."No need to thank m
"Don't say it's some kind of accident."Andy completely ignored Michael, once again disgustedly waving his hand at Elsa, who was still nearby. He wrinkled his nose at the faint smell of urine floating in the air. "Get away from me.""Eh! Alright, alright!"Elsa quickly nodded, retreating another step.Michael closely followed her, a forced smile on his face.In front of Andy, they did not dare show any of the unreasonableness they had displayed earlier when facing Liam!"Who would wear something like this to Mister Andy Nosh's banquet?""Not just the clothes, didn't you smell that urine odor coming from her?""I remember, they're from the Link family, the ones collaborating with Mister Andy Nosh on that cosmetics brand, right? This is just hilarious!"…Hearing this, other guests at the banquet could not help but burst into mocking laughter."That damn scoundrel, making me lose face like this. Once I get out of Mister Andy Nosh's house, I'm going to find him!"Hearing the v
It was precisely because of this series of reasons that, to avoid unnecessary trouble, they decided not to drive to the dinner. That's how they happened to run into Liam.One could say that a series of coincidences aligned to create the situation that unfolded today.Not far from the scene, the woman and the man turned a corner and entered a secluded villa area. Following the narrow path inside, they arrived at a mansion guarded by security, a lavish estate."We are here to attend Mister Andy Nosh's dinner."They quickly handed the invitation, which they had been holding, to the security at the door.This mansion was one of Andy's properties."Elsa Loony, Michael Link?"The security guard took the invitation and looked suspiciously at the man and woman standing before him."Yes, it's us! It's us!"The woman, Elsa, quickly nodded.Upon hearing this, the security guard squinted and gave Elsa a once-over, his eyes briefly flashing over her tattered clothing.Elsa smiled awkward
