Kris's status was not the same as Nathaniel's. If something really bad happened to Kris, things would get very complicated.Even though Serena also loathed Kris, she could not help but complain a little. "You were a bit too harsh!"Liam looked at Kris lying on the ground and shook his head. "Too harsh? I've already held back a lot."Kris's head would have already exploded if Liam had gone all out.Kris, lying on the ground, suddenly opened his mouth and spat out several bloody teeth. Staring at the teeth on the ground, Kris was momentarily stunned.The next moment, he snapped back to reality.Kris lifted his head abruptly, a ferocious look crossing his chubby face. "You dare to hit me?! Do you know who I am? How dare you hit me?"Upon hearing this, Liam shook his head lightly and looked at Kris coldly. "I don't know who you are, but I do know that if you dare touch Serena again, I'll kill you!"The instant Kris heard Liam's words, his body trembled violently.For some reason,
However, before Serena could finish her sentence, Hailey turned around and saw Liam standing behind her.Hailey's eyebrows shot up instantly, and her voice became sharp and piercing. "You're still hanging around with this worthless ex-convict? I knew it! I knew Serena couldn't possibly cause trouble at the South City Bank!"Hailey turned to Liam and gritted her teeth. "As expected, it's you! Every single misfortune our Lloyd family has faced is because of you!"A look of urgency flashed across Serena's face. She quickly tried to explain to Liam. "Mom, it's not his fault! Liam saved me—""Shut up! Do you think this is the time to defend him?" Hailey cut Serena off abruptly, pointing at Kris, who was lying on the ground, "Do you think I'm deaf? Mister Chansey just said it was Liam who hit him!""Enough!"Suddenly, Kris's voice rang out. He assessed the situation coldly and said, "There's no need to argue about who's at fault. None of you are getting away!"Upon hearing Kris's wo
However, after hearing Alex's words, Kris shook his head coldly."If it were any other matter, I might have spared you the embarrassment, Mister Irving. For this matter today, it's not just you. Even if your father comes, I won't hold back! They dared to assault me in the South City Bank!"He looked up at Serena and Liam, his voice icy. "I've never encountered such a thing! It doesn't matter who struck first. Anyone involved in this incident won't be let off!"Alex, feeling his dignity tarnished, suddenly froze and frowned. "Mister Chansey, in front of so many people, aren't you worried about the negative impact if this gets out?""Of course, I won't have the security do anything," Kris sneered, understanding the implication in Alex's words. But at this moment, Kris appeared particularly unrestrained. His chubby face was filled with malice as he added, "I'm just ensuring these scum who dared to act violently in the bank don't escape! As for how to deal with them, you'll know soon
Casey stepped up beside Kris, his square face radiating authority. "What's going on here?"Kris lifted his head and spoke sternly, "Mister Upton, someone tried to rob our bank! When their plan was exposed, they attempted to flee. I was injured while trying to stop them, but we've already apprehended the culprits!"Kris smirked as he continued, "I have strong suspicions that these people from the Lloyd Group are accomplices!"Right from the start, Kris pinned a serious crime on Liam and even implicated the Lloyd family.Serena's eyes widened in shock at the accusation. She finally understood the real reason why Kris had asked them to wait.If they were indeed linked to the bank robbery, the consequences would be dire, not just for them but for the Lloyd Group's stock price, which would plummet instantly. The repercussions would be unimaginable.Casey’s eyes flashed with anger upon hearing Kris. He pointed at Hailey and the others and ordered, "Is that so? Take them away!"Hailey'
"Are we not taking them back to the police station?"Casey froze for a moment. He could not believe what he was hearing.How could Alex say such a thing? Was he supposed to show Alex some respect? Who did Alex think he was?Did Alex think he could speak so casually just because they had a meal together once?"Who do you think you are?" Casey scoffed, lifting his head.Suddenly, his pupils contracted as he froze in place.When he entered the bank earlier, Casey’s attention had been focused on Kris. Later, Alex had caught his attention.As a result, he did not closely observe the situation inside the bank. However, when he looked up, he saw an incredibly familiar figure. Although he had only seen him in surveillance footage, he could never forget that face. The reason the South City Police Station was once surrounded by the military, nearly leading to a huge disaster, was because of the man standing in front of him.Staring at Liam, Casey trembled uncontrollably. "Grandmaster…"
"Mister Upton, it's fine." Although Alex could not understand it, he could clearly see through Casey's attitude.Alex continued speaking pridefully. "After all, Mister Chansey was injured quite severely. It's understandable that he would be upset..."However, while Alex kept talking, Casey's mind was blank. He did not hear a single word. The moment he saw Kris pointing at Liam, Casey wanted to kill Kris. A mere branch manager of South City Bank dared to point at the legendary Grandmaster Burrey! Was he courting death?After the military and Liam left the police station that day, Casey tried to look into Liam's identity, but his information was classified. Casey did not know who Liam really was up until that moment. However, one thing was abundantly clear to him.They could not afford to offend Liam.While Casey was trembling with fear, Hailey stood behind him, her eyes wide open.They knew the Irving family's power was formidable, but they had not expected Alex to wield such
Alex's face showed a hint of confusion as he looked at Casey. He thought Casey was under the weather."Mister Upton, are you feeling unwell? If you're tired, you should go back and rest. I can handle the remaining matters."Alex smiled as he added, "It was troublesome for you to come all this way!"Casey finally reacted after hearing Alex's words. He hesitated momentarily before lifting his head to glance at Liam."If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."Liam had remained unresponsive, so naturally, Casey did not dare to make any rash moves."Dismiss!" Casey waved to the nearby officers and turned to leave.Seeing Casey preparing to depart, Hailey and Ronald breathed a sigh of relief. However, Liam's voice suddenly rang out. "Are you just going to leave like that?"Upon hearing this, Casey's body trembled, and he abruptly stopped as he turned back to look at Liam."What… What did you say?" Liam frowned as he pointed at Kris on the ground. "No one is robbing a bank, s
The moment this scene unfolded, the entire bank manager's office was engulfed in a dead silence."Mister Upton…"Even Kris was frozen in place. He could not even feel the sting of Casey's slap on his face.It felt like a dream.Kris never imagined that Casey would ever treat him this way. Not only did he slap him, but he also intended to take him to the police station for investigation!However, that slap abruptly woke him up. Kris realized that his initial thoughts could be wrong.Given the Irving family's power, no matter how much they grew or how exceptional they became, as long as they remained in South City, Casey could not possibly be so afraid of the Irving family to this extent.That meant that from the very beginning, Casey's fear and his decision to slap Alex before taking him away for an investigation had nothing to do with the Irving family. If it had nothing to do with the Irving family…Kris seemed to have realized something. He suddenly looked up, his eyes fill
"That useless trash, what did he do this time?" Sam turned his head toward Charice, his voice dry and hoarse. "Who… who knows…" Charice shook her head, her expression stiff. "Could it really be that he caused some huge trouble, which is why such a big scene happened?" Just based on that scene earlier—forget about escorting Liam. It was enough to wage a small-scale battle! Without hesitation, they quickly picked up their pace and hurried forward. "The man at the entrance just now, the one taken away in the military vehicle—do you know what happened?" Charice stopped a staff member of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, who had also been hiding to the side in shock, and hurriedly asked. They wanted to understand exactly what had happened! Why had so many soldiers chosen to take Liam away right in front of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building? However, the staff member they questioned was just a low-level employee of the foundation. Forget t
"Grandmaster Burrey!" Jerry hurried over to Liam, came to a halt, and saluted respectfully before quickly explaining, "There was an unexpected situation just now, and Commander Warren had to handle it, so he couldn't come to pick you up!" "I hope you understand!" As he spoke, he was clearly worried about displeasing Liam. "It's fine." Hearing this, Liam gently shook his head. He never really cared about such matters. However, when he saw the grand convoy behind him, he couldn't help but sigh again. "Didn't I tell Gabriel before to avoid all this unnecessary fuss?" Every time Gabriel came to see him, the scene he created always gave Liam a headache. "Grandmaster Burrey…" Hearing Liam's words, Jerry froze momentarily before cautiously raising his head to look at him. "Commander Warren specifically instructed us that the most important thing is to ensure your safety…" "Alright then…" Liam sighed helplessly. He could tell that Gabriel meant well, but thi
For him, revealing his identity was never a concern. Liam had never deliberately concealed who he was. He simply did not want unnecessary trouble. "Alright." Hearing Liam's response, Lucy gently nodded. "I just hope that through our efforts, we can gradually change the perception of traditional Hestian medicine among the people of Hestia." Liam lifted his gaze toward the pharmaceutical factory operating in the distance, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. This was what he had always wanted to accomplish! "Grandmaster Burrey, don't worry. It will happen!" Standing behind Liam, Lucy looked as picturesque as a painting. Her delicate face was adorned with a radiant smile. She had never doubted Liam. The Next Day After wrapping up their affairs, Liam and Lucy returned to South City together. Liam had not asked Lucy to accompany him, but she mentioned that she had other matters to handle at the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's South City branch.
"Ginland..." Thinking of that place, Liam let out a cold snort. "Are there any other particularly difficult issues?" He turned his head to look at Lucy and asked. "There's nothing else too tricky left." Lucy looked at Liam with a smile. "We've taken care of everything." For them, the most difficult times had already passed. But before seeing Liam, they still felt somewhat unsettled. Now that he was here, Lucy and the others could finally put their minds at ease. "Then let's go check out the White Glycoside Cream production facility." Even though Lucy told Liam that everything had been handled, he couldn't just ignore it completely. Liam still decided to visit the production site himself. "No problem." Lucy's smile grew even brighter. She actually wanted Liam to see the results of their hard work over this period. If they could earn some praise from Grandmaster Burrey, that would be even better. Without delay, after instructing the driver on the
Shortly after, Liam exchanged a few more words with Gabriel before ending the call. Even after hanging up, Liam could still sense the aura behind him growing increasingly chaotic. For a grandmaster of martial arts to have such a reaction, it was clear that Bluebird's heart had been deeply shaken. Even though her strength was already formidable, the Central Military Region had been the place where she had spent the first half of her life. "It's fine. I'm here." Without turning around, Liam spoke calmly, "As long as you don't want to go back, no one can force you to." Although he still didn't know what Bluebird planned for the future, this was one thing he could easily promise her. The moment she heard his words, the turbulence in Bluebird's aura immediately settled. Sensing this, Liam smiled faintly. "Grandmaster Burrey… what did you just say?" At that moment, Lucy looked at Liam curiously. It seemed like she had caught him saying something earlier. "Nothin
Hearing Gabriel's words over the phone, Liam paused. There was no denying it—Gabriel was truly clever. Beneath his seemingly simple and honest appearance lay a sharp sense of perception. The moment he sensed that Liam might be angry, he immediately apologized. Just like that, the anger that had started to rise within Liam subsided slightly. "Grandmaster Burrey, getting mad at someone like me isn't worth it!" When he did not hear a response from Liam for a long time, Gabriel cautiously spoke up again. "I never said I wouldn't provide the Central Military Region with the White Glycoside Cream." Noticing Gabriel's shameless persistence, a trace of helplessness flashed in Liam's eyes. "Recently, the supply of White Glycoside Cream has been limited. "I also care about the soldiers in the Central Military Region. If production stabilizes in the future, I will naturally increase the supply for them." "I know, I know! Grandmaster Burrey, I understand!" Sensing that L
"I..." Liam furrowed his brows, about to say something more to Lucy. But just then… Ring, ring— Lucy's phone rang again. She glanced down at the screen, and the moment she saw the caller ID, she froze for a second. Then, with a sigh, she turned to Liam with a helpless smile. "Grandmaster Burrey, see what I mean?" She shook her head. "I just mentioned Commander Warren, and now he's calling again!" "Give me the phone." Liam's expression darkened as he gestured for her to hand it over. Without hesitation, Lucy obediently passed the phone to him. Liam picked up the call without a second thought. "Miss Hill, how's the matter I asked about yesterday? I heard that the production of White Glycoside Cream ointment has stabilized recently!" "Come on, have a little mercy and allocate more for the Central Military Region. The soldiers have it tough!" "You know how close I am with Grandmaster Burrey. If he asks, I'd even jump into boiling oil for him!" "
"What's going on?" Hearing Lucy's words, Liam turned his head. At first, he thought the biggest issue with the White Glycoside Cream was likely its production capacity. But to his surprise, that problem had already been mostly resolved by Lucy and the others. Thinking about it, it made sense. Otherwise, the ointment would not have had enough stock to be sold in Juneau. "The production capacity of White Glycoside Cream has stabilized. As long as we maintain the current output, there shouldn't be any major issues," Lucy said, lifting her head to look at Liam again. A hint of hesitation flashed across her face. "But the main problem now is that certain high-profile clients want a larger allocation of the ointment." "They want more?" Liam was slightly taken aback. He responded, "If someone is asking for an unreasonable amount, just refuse them." "Given the current standing of our Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, is there anyone we can't afford to turn down?" His
However, at this moment, Liam, who was already on a flight back to the provincial capital, was completely unaware of any of this. He also had no idea that the Minister of the Hestia Drug Administration was growing impatient and eager to head to South City to settle accounts with him. If not for the ongoing impact of the White Glycoside Cream, Matthias might have already rushed to South City to confront him! Seated on the plane, Liam closed his eyes and began to doze off. The past few days had been exhausting, and he hadn't had a chance to rest properly. When he woke up, the plane was already preparing to land. Looking out at the familiar scenery through the window, a faint smile appeared on his lips. Although he hadn't been away from Qyn Province for long, returning still gave him a sense of coming home. He had always been somewhat nostalgic. The moment he stepped out of the airport, Lucy was already waiting at the entrance with a group of people. Judging by
