Crash!The next moment, the door of the karaoke bar's private room was violently kicked open with a loud bang. A man in his fifties, with a powerful build and an aura of authority, strode in, flanked by a group of his subordinates."Who did this?!"Upon stepping into the private room and seeing Qazi lying on the ground, his face covered in blood, the man's eyes narrowed, and a murderous glint flashed across his face."Dad, it was that bastard!"Seeing the man appear, Qazi's face lit up with excitement. He pointed at Liam, gritting his teeth."That bastard not only hit me but also insulted the Fowler Society by calling us flies! You have to skin him alive!"Serena grew anxious at the sight of the man, who was none other than Nathaniel Fowler—the leader of the Fowler Society.She had met Nathaniel once before, but due to the significant difference in their statuses, she was unable to speak with him. Serena had hoped to establish a connection with him in the future, believing it
"Serena..."Layla's body trembled at the sight, her voice tinged with tears. She had never witnessed such a scene before.Serena's face showed a hint of panic. She anxiously explained, "Mister Fowler, we truly didn't mean for your son to get hurt! Liam just acted impulsively earlier! He knows he was wrong, so please don't be angry!"Nathaniel put on a grim smirk. "Don't want me to be angry? It's very simple. Whichever hand he used to hurt my son, he should leave that hand behind. Then, you two can kneel on the ground and apologize to my son. Only then can we talk!"Serena was momentarily stunned. A look of helplessness flashed across her face as she spoke, "Mister Fowler, I remember you have a good relationship with Mister Sobb. The Lloyd Group also has a close relationship with him. Please, for Mister Sobb's sake, spare us this time!"The Mister Sobb that Serena mentioned was none other than the undisputed underground emperor of South City—Chester Sobb! However, her words were
Liam felt that he had heard that name somewhere before.However, Nathaniel misunderstood Liam's intentions. "You truly live up to your reputation as a coward who hides behind women!"Nathaniel waved his hand, and his men stopped.They looked at Liam and sneered, "How dare you address Mister Ulrick by name? Do you know him or something?"Nathaniel's face was full of amusement, clearly expecting to make a fool out of Liam. "Or have you already thought of how to beg for mercy?"Liam shook his head. His gaze calmly swept over the members of the Fowler Society in front of him, and he said lightly, "Begging for mercy isn't necessary. After all, none of you here are a match for me. As for the Howser you mentioned, it seems I do know him.""What?"Nathaniel was taken aback by Liam's words.The next moment, a harsh laugh erupted!Nathaniel clutched his stomach, laughing uncontrollably. What he found most ridiculous was not that Liam claimed he could defeat everyone in the room but that
Liam's calm words echoed continuously in the private room. Upon hearing them, Serena could not help but widen her eyes in shock. She truly could not understand what was going on with Liam.How could he repeatedly say such nonsensical things, each time becoming more and more outrageous?A loud and piercing laugh came from the back.Nathaniel's laugh was even louder and more mocking than before. He had not expected that in his simple attempt to stand up for his son, he would encounter such a ridiculous situation. Nathaniel began to suspect that the young man in front of him might have lost his mind out of fear. A mentor? What a joke!Qazi, lying on the ground with a head injury, also started laughing uncontrollably. "You are such a clown!"However, just as everyone was filled with ridicule and mockery, Liam pulled a card out of his pocket. The card, once pristine, was crumpled due to his lack of care, but its former elegance was still evident.Liam glanced at the card in his hand
A deathly silence engulfed the private room.Serena and Layla stared wide-eyed at the scene unfolding before them, disbelief etched across their faces. For a moment, they could not comprehend what was happening.Qazi was even more bewildered. Why did Nathaniel suddenly hit him?However, Nathaniel could not care less about the thoughts of others at that moment. After delivering a hard slap that interrupted Qazi's words, Nathaniel hurriedly ran toward Liam, his face filled with anxiety.Approaching Liam, he bowed in trepidation and spoke nervously, "Mister Burrey, we sincerely apologize. We didn't recognize your esteemed identity! I had no idea you were a friend of Mister Ulrick!"Liam squinted and smiled faintly. "Oh, the Howser I know is the same man you're referring to?"Nathaniel trembled, swallowing hard before responding fearfully, "You have Mister Ulrick's personal card, which means the man you know is indeed Mister Ulrick!"Nathaniel did not dare to lift his head when he s
"Mister Burrey, it was all a misunderstanding!"Nathaniel could not help but tremble violently. He looked up and forced a smile."Those words earlier were all jokes! You're a friend of Mister Ulrick, so how could we dare do anything to you?"Nathaniel's regret was almost tangible. He never dreamed that the man, rumored to be the useless son-in-law of the Lloyd family, Liam Burrey, had such a close relationship with Howser.It was possible that Howser had once referred to Liam as his mentor.Forget smashing a bottle over Qazi's head. Even if he stabbed Qazi, nobody would not have dared say a word.If they truly provoked Liam, they would not need Howser to make a move. Just Chester alone could crush the Fowler Society into dust!Liam narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over the Fowler Society members in front of him. He said lightly, "Misunderstanding? Is this the misunderstanding you're talking about?""Get out! All of you, get downstairs and wait!" Seeing this, Nathan
Liam had to admit it. As the president of the Fowler Society, Nathaniel was indeed ruthless! When Nathaniel realized something was wrong, he acted on himself without hesitation. However, just as Nathaniel's dagger was about to slice his palm, a tense voice suddenly rang out from behind. A trace of anxiety flickered in Serena's eyes as she halted Nathaniel's actions. "That's enough!"Nathaniel was momentarily stunned. He stopped and looked up at Liam. Liam glanced back at Nathaniel and added calmly, "Since Serena said it's enough, you can stop."Nathaniel's face lit up with immense joy. "Thank you, Mister Burrey!"Liam shook his head. "No need to thank me. It was Serena who told you to stop. If you want to thank someone, thank her."Hearing Liam's words, Nathaniel quickly turned to Serena. "Thank you, Miss Lloyd!""I…" Hearing Nathaniel address her as 'Miss Lloyd', Serena felt a bit overwhelmed. She quickly shook her head and replied, "Just make sure you don't do this next
Liam was puzzled by Serena's accusation. "Didn't I just explain this? Howser gave me this business card."Serena was agitated. "You just got out of prison! How could you even think of getting a business card from Mister Ulrick? What possible connection could you have with him? Can't you just tell the truth for once?"Despite the shocking events that had just unfolded, Serena still could not believe that Liam had any relationship with Howser. After all, she had not forgotten the events at the gate of the Third Prison just a few days ago.The main reason she had rushed to stop Nathaniel from cutting off his own hand was fear of retaliation if Nathaniel discovered that Howser did not know Liam at all.Liam frowned. "I'm not lying to you. When I met Howser, he was practicing his martial arts technique. I gave him a few pointers, and he gave me this card."Serena's eyes widened with anger. "Never mind how you learned martial arts. You're telling me that just because you gave him a few
