Liam shook his head and replied calmly, "Take your time."He had already planned to discuss matters with Nathaniel a few days earlier. The situation involving the Tiger Gang was conveniently related to the underground organizations in South City, prompting Liam to call Nathaniel. So far, Nathaniel's response seemed satisfactory."Have you heard of the Tiger Gang?" Liam asked casually.Nathaniel froze for a moment. He furrowed his brow, lost in thought. Although there were many underground gangs in South City, Nathaniel generally only paid attention to the three major organizations, given his status. However, since Liam had asked, there had to be a reason.As he pondered with a furrowed brow, Nathaniel finally remembered and looked at Liam. "The Tiger Gang is a small gang in the eastern district of South City, mainly involved in loan sharking. Mister Burrey, is there something you need?"Liam turned to Damien and asked indifferently, "Didn't you say that offending the Tiger Gang
Liam watched as Viktor trembled violently after receiving a slap from Nathaniel.However, Viktor did not dare to utter a single word. His pleading eyes were fixed on Liam, desperately hoping for forgiveness."Compensate the Zaffrey family with all the assets of the Tiger Gang," Liam said calmly."Of course! I will immediately return and liquidate all the Tiger Gang's assets and offer them as compensation!" Viktor nodded repeatedly, agreeing without hesitation. To him, losing the gang's assets was manageable. They could be earned back. However, offending the unfathomably terrifying man before him was a disaster he could not afford.Liam shook his head and replied, "I wasn't speaking to you."He then turned to Nathaniel and continued, "Once you've liquidated the Tiger Gang's assets for compensation, the gang itself will no longer have a reason to exist."Liam glanced at Isabela and added, "Moreover, I don't want to see any gangs like the Tiger Gang engaging in loan-sharking in So
Isabela's family had never imagined they would witness such a scene one day! The Tiger Gang was an unbeatable force in their minds. Otherwise, they would not have been driven to such a state by the gang.However, with just a single sentence, Liam had effortlessly made the gang, which had caused them endless pain and torment, disappear! Moreover, Liam intended to eliminate all loan shark-related gangs in South City. It felt like a dream to Isabela's family. They doubted whether it was real or not!However, the hundreds of Audi A6 cars parked downstairs, the thousands of men in black suits standing quietly beside the cars, and Viktor's reaction clearly conveyed the reality of the situation. The young boy they had watched grow up had come to possess such formidable power!"Liam..."Isabela looked at Liam with a blank expression, her mind completely blank. Just a moment ago, she had been thinking about protecting Liam. She was not the only one. Sunny and Yanne were also standin
"Liam, can his condition be cured?"Upon hearing Liam's words, Isabela jerked her head up to look at him anxiously. Compared to money, Isabela was most concerned about Sunny's health. It had always been a source of pain in her heart.Liam smiled and nodded. "Of course. It can be cured, but it requires some medication. I didn't bring the herbs today, so I can't treat him now. Aunt Isabela, wait a couple of days for me to come back, and I'll help Uncle Sunny with his recovery. He'll be healthy again in no time."Isabela clapped her hands, and a bright smile appeared on her face. "That's wonderful! You have no idea how much I've worried because of your Uncle Sunny's health issues! Liam, it's really great to have you back!"After everything that had happened, she had developed an unconditional trust in Liam. Since he said Sunny's health could be restored, she believed it without question.Liam glanced around the house as he suggested, "Aunt Isabela, why don't you come and stay at my p
Isabela hesitated before she spoke. "Liam, your past is far more complicated than you think.""Aunt Isabela, what is going on?" Liam frowned.Isabela sighed heavily. "I guess I should start from the very beginning."The truth is, my relationship with your mother wasn't as simple as she claimed. We weren't just co-workers in the same factory. I first met your mother one night during a heavy rainstorm. I was walking home along the railway when I saw your mother, heavily pregnant, lying in a pool of blood. She was alone and unconscious. I was terrified and immediately called Uncle Sunny to help me take her to the hospital."When we arrived at the hospital, the doctor said your mother was in critical condition and might not survive. At that moment, she regained consciousness. With her last bit of strength, she told the doctors not to worry about her but to save you at all costs. Fortunately, both of you made it through that night." Isabela looked up at Liam and continued, "You were b
A palpable aura of pressure emanated from Liam, making everyone in the room struggle to breathe. Whoosh!The curtains beside the window flapped violently despite the absence of wind. The room's temperature plummeted abruptly, and the oppressive atmosphere made it hard for everyone to catch their breath."My mother… Is there a chance she's still alive?"Liam lifted his head, his eyes filled with confusion as he gazed forward. Despite not having seen his mother since he was six years old, he never forgot the memories of her from before then. He vividly remembered every single thing his mother did for him as a child.The sweater she knitted by hand. How she waited at the market early in the morning just to buy the freshest meat for Liam because he craved it. She would rather endure the cold herself, ensuring he wore the warmest clothes.The warmth from those times was something Liam would never forget. His mother's face had become blurry in his mind, not because he could not reca
"Misha Ellis?"Hearing his mother's name, Liam felt a moment of disorientation.Isabela nodded. "Yes. Only such a beautiful name could match your mother's extraordinary grace and beauty."Regaining his composure, Liam asked, "Aunt Isabela, is there anything else you know about my mother?"Isabela shook her head. "No. I've told you everything I know about her.""Thank you, Aunt Isabela. I'll be leaving now. I'll bring some good herbs and visit you and Uncle Sunny again in a couple of days."After suddenly learning so much information, he needed time to process it.Isabela waved her hand. "Go on, go on."Liam turned and left. Seeing him move, Nathaniel hurriedly followed behind.As Liam descended the stairs, thousands of men in black suits parted in the middle, creating a path for him. They bowed their heads in respect as he passed."Just how powerful has Liam become..."Upstairs, Isabela saw this through the window and could not help but gape in astonishment. Her encounter wi
Liam had no idea that his single remark would stir up a storm of bloodshed and chaos throughout South City.However, he probably would not have cared even if he had known. After all, those who wished to follow him, like Nathaniel, would need to demonstrate some sincerity.Upon returning to Villa No. 3, Liam took out his phone and made a few calls. He intended to use various channels to gather information about his mother. The people he contacted were all prominent figures, but due to the sudden mention of events from long ago and the passage of time, none could provide him with much information.However, everyone on the other end of the line assured him that they would report back immediately if they discovered any leads.Liam was not entirely without results. In his investigation into his mother's real name, he found no records of 'Helen Ellis' or 'Misha Ellis'. It was as if they had never existed.Everything seemed unusually calm, making the situation seem all the more bizarre.
It was evident. The family member of the patient, Walter, seemed hesitant.He started with a "but," but did not elaborate further.However, the other family members of the patients paid no attention to this. Or rather, the others, who were anxious, had no time to care!"Where's the address?""Yes, which pharmacy has the White Glycoside Cream available?""Hurry up and tell us!"…For a moment, the group chat messages kept buzzing.Seeing the continuous flow of messages.Walter seemed slightly swayed and slowly shared a location."Let's go! Let's head there!"As soon as he saw the location, Fabian immediately lifted his head and looked at Pearlyn.Without delay, the two hailed a taxi by the roadside and rushed toward the address sent by Walter.It was not long before they arrived at a pharmacy in the suburbs of the city.This pharmacy was located in a rather remote area, at the edge of South City. The surrounding environment was somewhat shabby and dilapidated.When Fabian
A short message made Fabian and Pearlyn tremble as they read it, their eyes instantly reddening.No one understood better than they did how agonizing this waiting period had been.However, what touched Fabian and Pearlyn the most were the last three words in Liam's message.Those three words meant that their trust in Grandmaster Burrey had not been in vain.During this time, Grandmaster Burrey had been making efforts!The next moment…"Let's go buy the medicine!"Before Fabian could speak, Pearlyn's voice rang out. Her scar-covered face lit up with a radiant smile, and her eyes brimmed with positivity.For the first time, Pearlyn wanted to step outside on her own!"Let's go!"Seeing this, a smile also crossed Fabian's face.Without hesitation, the two left the house in a hurry.However, half an hour later, they stood at the entrance of a pharmacy, once again puzzled."You don't have White Glycoside Cream here either?"Fabian's eyes widened, his voice filled with disbelief.
"I still don't know if what you told me back then, about Grandmaster Burrey being so powerful, is true or not," Pearlyn said softly, her voice tinged with a deep sadness. "We believed in Grandmaster Burrey at the time and decided to wait for that miraculous medicine. But... can we really wait long enough for it?"In fact, it had not been long since their lives were saved by Liam.But for Pearlyn, who had since regained consciousness, it felt like an eternity had passed.After waking up and seeing her broken body, she suffered a tremendous blow. It took all her strength to maintain her composure until now, and that was closely tied to what Fabian had told her about Liam.In truth, it was this sliver of hope that kept her going.However, as the days dragged on, compounded by an infection from her reckless attempt to remove her scars, Pearlyn—already fragile—was nearing her breaking point."Pearlyn, don't worry."Looking at the scarred and despondent Pearlyn, a flash of heartache c
Recently, Agustine had been working tirelessly alongside Lucy on the launch of the White Glycoside Cream. It had been an arduous journey!However, as he watched this groundbreaking medicine, one that could astonish all of China, receive such a cold reception, Agustine, even as a staff member of the Hestia Drug Administration, could not help but feel frustrated."Grandmaster Burrey…" Lucy turned to look at Liam and muttered."What's the matter?"Hearing this, Liam turned to look at Lucy and asked calmly."About the White Glycoside Cream…"After a moment of hesitation, Lucy finally asked, "What should we do next? We still have a large stockpile of raw materials in our warehouse. Should we continue production of the White Glycoside Cream?"She appeared deeply conflicted.Continuing production meant further losses. Halting production meant watching the raw materials in the warehouse slowly decay and rot.All of this left Lucy feeling incredibly distressed. The losses that the Whit
While Agustine was working with Lucy on the launch preparations for the White Glycoside Cream, he had already informed Matthias of all the relevant details.He was not a mole sent by Matthias.It was just that during the preparation stage for the cream's release, Agustine had come to understand the massive financial losses the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation would face if the product was not properly promoted.That number...When Agustine first heard it, his heart could not help but tremble.After learning about the situation, he immediately contacted Matthias to see if there was any way to reduce the foundation's losses.However, Matthias did not have any particularly good solutions.Since the implementation of the new traditional medicine market policies, the pressure on the regulatory department staff had been immense. Yet, the results were immediate and evident.If any errors or mishaps occurred now, further disrupting the Hestian pharmaceutical market, the consequences
At the same time…Standing at the room door, Liam looked at Sophia, who was persistently knocking. A trace of helplessness flashed across his face. "If you want to go in, I have the passcode.""Hmph!"After knocking hard on the door again to no avail, Sophia snorted coldly and turned around. "No need to open it now. It looks like Serena really isn't here.""That girl Serena, if I run into her next time, I definitely won't let her off!"She glanced angrily at the door one last time before turning to head downstairs."Let's go, Aunt Heller. Let's deal with the stall issue at the market first."Following Sophia, Liam spoke to persuade her."That girl Serena, she really made me angry this time…"Clearly, Sophia was still immersed in her frustration with Serena, grumbling as she walked.However, under Liam's persuasion, an annoyed Sophia still followed him to the market.It did not take long for the two to settle the matter regarding the market.Even though Liam knew it was unlik
At that time, Sophia understood the situation.The divorce was proposed by Serena, seemingly because she found Liam lazy and useless. Eventually, the two of them divorced.At first, in Sophia's understanding, perhaps Liam was indeed somewhat lazy. After all, compared to Serena, the gap between them was significant.If he could not bridge that gap through his own efforts, problems were bound to arise between them sooner or later.This was also why Sophia had always tried to persuade Liam to cherish Serena.But after everything that happened today, Sophia could no longer accept it!Liam, useless?She could not fathom how Serena could say such a thing!She had to confront Serena and get to the bottom of it."Aunt Heller, it's all in the past now," Liam said, shaking his head."What's done is done. Why bother asking about things that don't matter anymore?"In fact, when he first divorced Serena, there was a moment when he, like Sophia, couldn't make sense of it. But with time, L
The sound of Nathaniel echoed continuously through the streets.Recently, Nathaniel and Chester, in partnership, had been expanding their power towards the three northwestern provinces.They had become somewhat lax in their control of South City.This was the reason for the current situation.But now, Nathaniel had made up his mind—similar things would never be allowed to happen again!"Yes!"For a moment, the response from the group of men in black ahead shot into the sky."What are they doing..."A voice suddenly came from behind, causing Sophia to jump. She quickly looked back."It's nothing, Aunt Sophia."Seeing this, Liam smiled faintly. "They're busy with their own things; we're busy with ours.""Alright..."Upon hearing this, Sophia reluctantly turned her head back."You know, the president of the Fowler Society is actually quite a good person..."she muttered, as if wanting to say something.But just at that moment, Sophia's body trembled. She suddenly realized so
"Grandmaster Burrey, I understand."Upon hearing this, a cold gleam suddenly flashed in Nathaniel's eyes. "This will never happen again!"This incident was not just infuriating for Liam, but Nathaniel himself also felt utterly embarrassed!In the heart of the Fowler Society's stronghold in South City, someone dared to impersonate a member of the Fowler Society. This act itself showed a complete disregard for him.No matter what had caused this situation, he could never allow something like this to happen again."Do as you see fit," Liam said, glancing at Nathaniel indifferently. He then turned to Sophia and smiled. "Aunt Sophia, let Nathaniel handle things here at your shop. I'll go with you to the market and have a word with the management."He had not forgotten about the time when Sophia wanted to set up a stall in the market but was rejected by the management."No, no need!" Sophia waved her hands repeatedly.After everything that had happened today, she truly felt guilty ab
