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
Liam nodded. "That's him."Dante was quite the enigma. Except for Liam, everyone else in the prison, including the guards, always thought Dante was just a quirky old man who kept to himself. He had no real presence.It was only after Liam gained some notoriety in the Third Prison that others began to notice Dante's proximity to him."Liam, what do you need him for?" Jansen asked, looking up after hearing Liam's words.Liam glanced at Jansen. "I brought something for him. Did something happen to him?"Liam found it unusual for Jansen to have so many questions.Jansen hesitated, looking troubled. "Yes. Liam, you probably won't be able to see that old man this time. Strangely enough, the old man mysteriously vanished right after you were released from prison. We checked a lot of surveillance footage and even contacted the local police to track him down, but there wasn't a single clue."Jansen showed a hint of confusion as he discussed the matter. "It's as if he disappeared from the
After hearing Jansen, Liam nodded. "Let's go then."He had not expected that his visit to the Third Prison, originally meant to return the Zenith Token to the old man Dante, would involve such a mess without even seeing the man he came for. However, since he was here, he decided to revisit the place. Following Jansen, Liam stepped into the Third Prison.Meanwhile, Serena had already returned home. Even after some time had passed, she still had not recovered from the earlier events. The mere thought of almost believing Liam’s words filled her with disgust. "I must've been crazy to believe someone like you!" she muttered angrily, sitting back on the sofa. To Serena, it was not just Liam’s lack of success that infuriated her. What truly filled her with anger and disgust was the feeling of being repeatedly deceived by him. Even at the gates of the Third Prison, he continued to lie without remorse. She could not understand what Liam was thinking. Although she had felt guilty towar
