Chapter 226

Penulis: Remorseless Lucas
Upon hearing his phone ring, Etchen's brow furrowed deeply. He barked into the receiver in annoyance.

"Why are you calling me now?! Don't you know I'm busy?"

However, before Etchen could finish his tirade, the words on the other end of the line struck him like a lightning bolt, leaving him stunned and frozen.

The members of the Lloyd family, who had been jovial just moments before, noticed his sudden change and began to inquire anxiously.

"Etchen, what happened?"

Hailey was confused. "Yes, Etchen, what's going on? Can't it wait a bit? Don't you see we're all here celebrating you?"

Etchen's expression grew even more rigid as he listened to the voices around him.

He swallowed hard, his eyes glazed over. "The Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation has announced they're canceling their partnership with the Irving family."

The Lloyd family fell into an eerie silence. They stared in disbelief, unable to process the shocking news.

"What?"

"This... This can't be happening!"

    Whenever Alex was mentioned, Hailey could not help but think of the worthless Liam. A look of disgust flashed across her face.At that moment, Serena's voice suddenly rang out. "Mom... Dad..."Serena frowned as she held the contract signed between the Irving family and the Lloyd Group. "This contract... Something seems off!"When Serena returned a while ago, she noticed the contract on the table. Due to the smooth cooperation, she did not pay much attention to it.When Ronald mentioned signing the contract, Serena casually opened it. However, as soon as she saw the first item, she noticed the problem!Hearing Serena's words, Hailey frowned and walked over impatiently. "Off? How could anything be wrong with the contract signed with Mister Irving?"Serena pointed at the contract, a look of tension flashing across her delicate face."This contract clearly states that if any issues arise with the project, the Irving family will not bear any responsibility, and the Lloyd family's coo

    Liam's calm words in the bank hall suddenly resurfaced in their minds.No one initially took Liam's words seriously. If they had, they would have immediately thought of him when they first heard that the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had canceled its cooperation with the Irving family.However, reminded by Ronald, they suddenly made the connection.The cooperation between the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation and the Irving family had always been smooth. If there was an unexpected reason for the sudden change, the only situation they could recall was the words Liam had spoken back then.Noticing the unusual expressions on Ronald and Hailey's faces, Sam could not help but ask urgently, "What's going on? If you have any clues, speak up quickly! If we act fast, we might still have time to help the Irving family."He seemed quite anxious.Ronald frowned. "It's not exactly a clue, but when we went to the South City Bank to make a transfer, we happened to run into Liam."Sam rai

    Upon hearing Ronald's words, Sam could not help but shake his head.Sam turned to look at Serena and said, "How pitiful! A wretch who spouts nonsense for a shred of dignity is truly the most pathetic!"Hailey chimed in, her face full of disdain as she spoke about Liam. "I feel the same way. Just thinking of that worthless man who was once my son-in-law embarrasses me!""Mom..."Listening to Hailey, Serena opened her mouth but could not say anything. She, too, had been filled with surprise.After all, the timing of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's cancellation of its collaboration with the Irving family was indeed too coincidental. However, after hearing the Lloyd family's comments, Serena dismissed her initial thoughts.Establishing such a significant charity foundation was not something that could be accomplished merely through connections. Even if Liam knew Howser, he would not have the qualifications to establish a charity foundation. Despite that, Serena disagreed w

    "How is this possible?"Ronald and Hailey frantically flipped through the contracts in their hands.Hailey was not very educated, but after carefully examining the contract in her hand, she could still clearly see the blatant issues within!If the problems they initially noticed could be explained away by the improbability of any mishaps in the collaboration between the Irving family and the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, the subsequent clauses in the contract made their hearts pound with fear.In fact, Alex had explicitly stated in the contract that all profits generated from the Irving family's cooperation with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation would be managed entirely by the Irving family, with the Lloyd Group having no say whatsoever.The stack of documents was not just a contract. It was a series of traps!Finally, when Hailey and Ronald reached the last page of the contract and found no clauses favorable to the Lloyd Group, their legs gave out, and they collapsed

    Serena furrowed her brows involuntarily.The situation was urgent, and she initially didn't want to bother with it. However, seeing the phone ringing incessantly, Serena finally picked it up.However, as soon as she connected the call and heard the voice on the other end, Serena's body trembled, and she froze in place.Hailey could not help but raise her head, her face full of anger as she looked at Serena."What are you doing? Why are you on the phone at a time like this? Aren't you supposed to be figuring out how to solve the problem? You must resolve the issue we're facing now, no matter what it takes!"If it weren't for you hanging around with that useless ex-convict every day, the Lloyd Group wouldn't be in this predicament! How many times have I told you that useless trash is good for nothing—"Hailey's sharp, shrill voice kept rising. However, before she could finish her tirade, she heard Serena's low mumble."The Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation contacted me. They said

    Hailey's chubby face twisted into a grimace. "Could it be possible? Do I not know what Liam is like? Could he really have such capabilities?"The suspicion regarding the owner of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation far outweighed the joy of the Lloyd Group collaborating with the foundation once again!They even felt an overwhelming sense of respect toward the foundation's willingness to work with the Lloyd family.After all, everyone in the Lloyd family knew how they had treated Liam in the past!Ronald's face went pale. "I also don't think Liam is capable of such things! However, can anyone explain why the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation chose to partner with us again?"Everything had unfolded exactly as Liam had calmly described at the time. It could not just be a simple coincidence!Hailey turned to Serena with a smile. "Serena, you've been in contact with Liam more frequently lately. Tell us, have you noticed any changes in him recently? And is there any possibility tha

    "Liam wants Mister Ulrick to visit the Lloyd family personally?"Hearing Serena's words, Ronald's eyes were filled with astonishment.They were well aware of Howser's status!Even Chester rarely had the chance to meet Howser, the towering figure behind him. However, Liam claimed that he could make Howser visit the Lloyd family personally.Ronald shook his head, unwilling to believe any of it. "That… That's impossible!"It was not just Ronald. Other members of the Lloyd family also felt it was a complete fantasy upon hearing Serena's words.Layla widened her eyes and said, "I know about this too! I was there when Liam mentioned this! I told Serena then that whatever my brother-in-law says must be true!"Although Layla did not know who Howser was, she had immense trust in Liam.No one objected when they heard Layla refer to Liam as her brother-in-law.Ronald looked at Layla in shock. "You knew about this? Why didn't any of you tell me about these things?"Serena did not wait fo

    Liam had no idea about the immense upheaval caused within the Lloyd family due to the sudden changes at the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation.He was even more oblivious to the fact that everyone in the Lloyd family was anxiously preparing for Howser's imminent arrival after hearing Serena's words.However, even if Liam knew about it, he probably would not care. His only concern in contacting Howser was Serena. The rest of the Lloyd family did not matter to him at all.After finishing his call with Lucy, Liam got into his car, ready to return to the Hush Purple Gardens. On his way to Villa No. 3, something outside the car window suddenly caught his attention."Please stop the car," Liam said, frowning as he addressed the taxi driver. The driver quickly pulled over. They were in the economically underdeveloped southern part of the city, lined with small vendors and street stalls. Once he got out of the car, Liam walked toward a small vegetable stall by the roadside. The stall o

    Kenton's eyes widened as he stared straight ahead.Freddy's lifeless body lay less than two meters away from him. From that distance, Kenton could clearly see Freddy's eyes, devoid of any sparkle.Maybe, if Freddy had taken just one more step to escape the ring and concede defeat, things might have been different.But that was impossible.From the moment Freddy chose to step into the ring, the outcome was already sealed.Right now, Kenton couldn't even feel the pain in his own body. His heart was completely consumed by fear.Kenton had never imagined that one day he would witness such a scene.Even more unimaginable was the fact that someone could be so terrifyingly powerful!All the instructors from the battle zones had been killed by the same person. Among them was even a martial arts Ascendants.Yet all of them combined could not last a single round against that Grandmaster!Everything that had just happened felt like a nightmare to Kenton.Even now, he could not believe

    Ten Years Ago.When Matthew first took office as the commander of the Western Military Region, Brandon Yorkshire had already become his personal guard.Over the past ten years, however, Brandon had never once made a public appearance like he did today!Matthew had never expected that today, after Grandmaster Burrey from the Central Military Region made his move, Brandon would voluntarily show up, and even seem so frightened!However, the old man's appearance did not surprise Liam at all.Because the moment he saw Matthew, he had already noticed the old man's presence."The Martial Code?"Yet, the old man's words made Liam narrow his eyes.But now was not the time to dwell on such matters.Bang—Liam casually tossed Jormund's body aside, then looked up at the remaining special forces instructors still standing on the stage, showing a faint smile."I..."Seeing this, the few remaining instructors on the stage trembled violently!A formless fear instantly gripped their hearts

    Jormund finally understood why, at that time, Gabriel did not resist when facing Liam.It was not that Baeron did not want to fight back.It was that, at that moment, Baeron had no chance to resist!The overwhelming pressure, like the sky collapsing, and the boundless fear!It left them completely unable to control their bodies!This man, who was called Grandmaster Burrey, what kind of monster was he?!Not only could he see through the condition of Jormund's body at a glance, but with a simple gesture, he made Jormund's inner energy shrink in terror, completely unable to move!Even though he had already broken through to the realm of martial arts Ascendant, it was still useless!Suddenly, Jormund recalled Baeron's action right before his death—trying desperately to look at them.Now, he finally understood the reason behind that gesture!But he no longer had any way to share his discovery with anyone else!Jormund stared wide-eyed at Liam's slender, well-defined hand, getting

    "Mister Celd… When did you break through?"Their faces were filled with shock.Previously, the instructors from other military districts knew that Jormund's strength was extraordinary, but they had no idea to what extent.But they never expected this.Jormund had already become a martial arts Ascendant!That seemingly insurmountable chasm had been crossed by him!From now on, when they faced Jormund, they would probably have to show the respect of juniors!The instructors from other military districts could feel their inner energy trembling slightly under the impact of Jormund's aura, their faces showing a bitter smile.Now they finally understood why Jormund had said that he alone was enough back then!In the presence of a martial arts Ascendant, they weren't even qualified to fight alongside him!At the very front, the smile on Jormund's face was arrogant and unrestrained!"Originally, I planned to reveal my strength when reporting back to my clan. However, I just can't st

    "What?""The instructors actually teamed up!""Teamed up? Wasn't it that Grandmaster Burrey of yours who asked for it himself?""If he wants to die, who can he blame!"...Seeing the situation on the stage, a group of soldiers immediately started discussing, with a hint of argument in their voices.The soldiers from other military districts who came to this so-called exchange meeting had long been displeased with that so-called Grandmaster Burrey!"Heh..."Seeing the group of instructors jumping onto the stage, Jormund chuckled softly.However, he did not say much, but his expression was full of confidence.The next moment, Jormund raised his head and looked at Liam, squinting his eyes sharply."Are you ready?"His voice was chilling!"I..."Right at that moment, Liam seemed to notice something and was stunned for a moment, just about to say something!But before he could speak.In front—Boom!Jormund did not give Liam any time to react.In just an instant, he charge

    "Grandmaster Burrey..."In a panic, Gabriel opened his mouth, about to say something.But in the end, he was a moment too late!The next moment, Liam's hand, which was gripping Baeron's neck, tightened slightly.Crack—A crisp sound echoed.Baeron's head drooped instantly, the light in his eyes extinguished.Baeron, dead!In his final moments, he couldn't even tell the other officers from the various military districts below what he had originally intended to say!"What!""Impossible!""Grandmaster Burrey killed Baeron?""Weren't they just putting on an act?""What the hell is going on!"...In an instant, the entire stadium erupted like a boiling pot!No one could have imagined that Grandmaster Burrey would actually choose to kill directly!"Sigh..."On the main platform, Gabriel let out a heavy sigh and sat back down.Having once witnessed Grandmaster Burrey's methods, he knew very well just how terrifying it would be if Grandmaster Burrey decided to take action!

    "I…"Baeron's face was filled with terror!His body was frozen in place by sheer fear, unable to move at all!Even though he was intensely focused a moment ago, Baeron couldn't catch a single glimpse of Liam's movements.But that was not what terrified him the most.The real reason for his overwhelming horror, the bone-chilling fear, was actually quite simple.It was the aura emanating from Liam's slender, fair hand — fingers distinct and refined.Baeron had lived for over forty years and believed that with his status, he was already accustomed to facing storms and dangers. Even a martial arts Ascendant would not have fazed him, especially considering the powerful backing he had.But never, never had Baeron felt such a hopeless aura.Deep as an abyss, majestic as a deity!The aura from the figure before him was beyond anything Baeron could describe.The once powerful internal energy within him now shrank into a corner, as if it had encountered its greatest predator.

    "A mere rat dares to talk so big with such little strength!"Liam's attitude filled Jormund with rage. He had never seen someone so arrogant before."Who do you think you are!"You're even scared of Baeron, and you think you're worthy of having all the army instructors attack together?"Jormund snapped furiously, "Do you really think that just because you brought some officers from the Western Military Region into the ring, you can do whatever you want?""So what you're saying is, if I deal with Baeron first, then all of you will attack together?"Liam turned his head and looked calmly at Jormund."I... "Hearing this, Jormund was momentarily speechless.He had not expected this so-called Grandmaster Burrey to actually respond."Don't worry, you won't get the chance."Baeron sneered, "There's no need to talk about everyone attacking at once. Since you're so eager to die in place of Yet, I'll gladly oblige.""If that's the case." Liam narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at

    "The Central Military Region is replacing the instructor on stage. The match will continue."After confirming the information, the referee standing nearby announced that the exchange conference would proceed.At the same time, he quickly arranged for staff members to hurry onto the stage and carry away Kenton, who was lying in the center of the ring, groaning in pain.The incident happened suddenly.The instructor exchange conference was the priority.For now, no one had time to question why Grandmaster Burrey had appeared out of nowhere and smashed a Western Military Region officer into the ring.Even if there were questions, they would have to wait until the conference ended."Ah—"As Kenton was being carried off, his agonized screams continued to echo.He felt as if every bone in his body was broken, with no part spared from the pain!"Baeron, you have to avenge me!
