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—"
Liam did not call out to stop Serena. He understood that, given Serena's prejudice against him, she would not believe him no matter what he said.A conflicted expression crossed Liam's face as he watched Serena slowly disappear.Honestly, he had no idea what was happening at the Third Prison.Not long after Serena left, a sudden series of noises came from behind Liam at the main gate of the Third Prison.The sounds were not just from the small iron gate at the entrance. They could only mean one thing—the main gate of the Third Prison was being fully opened!The entrance to the Third Prison had a small gate for regular pedestrian and vehicle access, and a large gate was used only in special circumstances.Since the establishment of the Third Prison, the large gate had only been opened on the first day the prison was founded and never again—until that day.As the piercing sounds echoed, the massive iron gate opened, gradually revealing the interior structure of the Third Prison.
Jansen said seriously to Liam, "Not only that, but even the prison guards who have seen you this time will sign relevant agreements and be dispersed to other prisons across the country!"They aren't allowed to communicate with each other or disclose any information about you. The new appointment policy implemented in the prison also prevents anyone from inquiring about your whereabouts!""Is all this really necessary?" Liam asked, frowning as he glanced at the hundreds of prison guards ahead.He did not expect that the recent appointment policy would be enacted because of him!Jansen saluted Liam earnestly. "For your safety, we will spare no effort! I hope you don't find this troublesome."Considering the identities of those who had continuously visited the Third Prison to see Liam, Jansen knew that ensuring Liam's safety was paramount. Not to mention, after Liam's release, Jansen had received several calls demanding that he ensure the confidentiality of Liam's personal informatio
