"Rest assured, Miss Hill, I will definitely cooperate with you!"Jimmy eagerly nodded, indicating that he would not disclose Julian's matters to anyone.Then, under the escort of the Hill family's servants, Jimmy prepared to return to Asterion. Before leaving, Jimmy stood beside Liam, wanting to say something but hesitating."Grandmaster Burrey, I hope to have the opportunity to see you again in the future!"In the end, Jimmy only said a few words. After slightly bowing to Liam as a sign of respect, he left the Golden Cross Hospital.A servant from the Hill family approached Lucy and asked softly, "Miss, since Mister Hill Senior's health is no longer a major concern, shall we continue to hold the Hill family's annual gathering?"Those who remained by Lucy's side in the hospital were all her trusted aides, so there was no need to worry about any information leaks. The Hill family's annual gathering, which occurred once every five years, was quite important to the Hill family."Th
"None."Liam shook his head. Having just been released from prison, he had nothing worthy of preparation.Lucy grinned and said, "Then, we can set off!" Despite her gentle appearance, her actions were decisive and swift like lightning. After persuading Liam to attend their Hill family's annual gathering—fearing he might regret it—she immediately arranged the subsequent itinerary.Everything was neatly packed in no time.Lucy gestured for Liam to leave with her as she watched Julian being carefully carried down the stairs. "Grandmaster Burrey, let's go. You can get some proper rest if we arrive in the provincial capital earlier."Liam nodded. "Let's go."Amidst the crowd, he left the hospital. After Liam and the others departed, the ninth-floor intensive care unit was unsealed.At the same time, members of the Lloyd family were gathered around the bed in the regular ward, expressing their resentment toward Liam incessantly."Why is there so much noise downstairs?"Serena seem
Upon hearing the news from Serena, the members of the Lloyd family could not help but smile. Ronald was especially excited."It doesn't matter if it's sudden or not. It's not something you should worry about. The Hill family has their reasons for hosting such a grand event. We just need to prepare well and see if we can further strengthen our relationship with them through this annual gathering!"With that ex-convict Liam out of the picture, our family can now conduct ourselves with dignity and integrity in anything we do. Serena, feel free to communicate with the Hill family," urged Ronald, gesturing for Serena to leave. "Alright, you don't need to continue taking care of your mother. Go back and prepare quickly. Since the Hill family is in the provincial capital, take Layla with you tomorrow. You don't need to worry about anything here.""Yes! Serena, hurry back and prepare!""The Hill family has always viewed the Lloyd family with special regard. When you attend their annual
Although Layla saw Hailey and Etchen's condition in the hospital room, she still could not believe that such a gentle and kind-hearted brother-in-law like hers could be capable of such actions.While checking on Liam, Layla wanted to ask him what had happened exactly. However, it seemed that Ronald did not give her the chance."Hurry up and follow me!" Ronald reprimanded Layla with a frown, then turned and left.Layla sighed and obediently followed Ronald.Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, the next day arrived.Ronald, Sam, and Felix dressed up and headed to the provincial capital early in the morning. After dropping Layla off at school, the trio drove to the Hill family's annual gathering venue.The Spring Garden boasted beautiful scenery and a tranquil environment. It had the richest historical heritage in the province of Qyn. Various buildings in different styles were scattered throughout the garden, adding to its charm. After being developed for public enjoyment,
Though they had not seen each other for four years, the three members of the Lloyd family were very familiar with the figure ahead. Not to mention, that very figure ahead had injured both Hailey and Etchen!Sam frowned as he stared at the entrance of the Everluster Pavilion. "It's him, isn't it? Is that Liam Burrey?"Ronald scowled. "He's the ex-convict! That worthless scum just got out of prison after injuring Etchen and Hailey, and he still dares to come to the provincial capital!"With just one glance, they recognized the figure at the door as Liam."Dad, Uncle Ronald, wait here."A glint of fierceness flashed in Felix's eyes. He rolled up his sleeves, poised to charge forward. "Let me teach this scumbag who dared to harm the Lloyd family and still dares to show up here!"If Liam came to the Spring Garden, there was only one reason—to taunt the Lloyd family after harming them. He was seeking death!Ronald quickly stopped Felix. "Felix, don't act rashly! We're here to attend t
After receiving affirmation from Liam, the security guard's body visibly trembled."Grandmaster Burrey, please wait!" he said with sincere trepidation, displaying utmost respect by bowing repeatedly as he spoke.Once he finished addressing Liam, he hastily picked up the walkie-talkie. Liam was momentarily puzzled, unsure of what was happening.When the security guard lifted the walkie-talkie, the three members of the Lloyd family could not help but sneer when they saw Liam still standing at the entrance.Ronald mocked, "I bet being in prison made this fool lose his mind! He's simply brainless! Didn't you see security taking out the walkie-talkie? He's still so stubborn. Does he think the Hill family's security guards are just for show?"Sam sneered, "If he had any brains, he would've come out of prison and buttered us up nicely and served us well. Who knows, we might even reward him with a meal. A normal person wouldn't dare lay a hand on Hailey and them, but it's fine this way to
Even without knowing about the presence of the Hill family's top brass, the three members of the Lloyd family were utterly dumbfounded.The scene before them completely exceeded their expectations. It especially affected Ronald. He even felt like he had not fully woken up yet!Sam was even more dumbfounded.The Hill family was a force to be reckoned with. As the leading family in the Qyn Province, they wielded immense power and influence, commanding respect throughout the region. The Lloyd family had always depended on the Hill family. However, they saw Liam being welcomed by the Hill family in such a grand manner. What on earth was going on?While others might not know Liam’s background, the Lloyd family certainly did. He was a nobody! Liam was also a recently released convict. How could he possibly deserve such treatment from the Hill family?"This is simply impossible…" Felix muttered, his eyes glazed over and his voice hoarse. The scene before him was completely differen
For Liam, the commotion at the door a moment ago was entirely unexpected. He was even less aware that three members of the Lloyd family were furiously looking for him.The Everluster Pavilion's soundproofing was excellent, and the entrance was some distance away, so the guests who had already entered did not notice the disturbance outside.When Liam stepped into the Everluster Pavilion, only a few people noticed him.Liam was quite content with that. He casually found a spot to stand and began to observe his surroundings.He had to admit that the Hill family’s choice of the Everluster Pavilion as the venue for their annual gathering was undoubtedly appropriate.The decor was grand and majestic. With carved beams, jade pillars, red lacquered columns, and intricate engravings, every detail exuded luxury.Most guests attending the Hill family’s annual gathering were in the spacious hall. They were dressed in splendid attire, holding wine glasses, making toasts and chatting with burs
"Voices?"Hearing this, the male clerk was momentarily stunned. He replied in confusion, "What voices? I didn't hear anything.""Well, maybe I just misheard it?" The female clerk furrowed her brow.When the truck crashed, they had not fully understood what had happened before they felt a massive impact. In panic, they hid behind the bar and did not come out for a long time. At one point, both of them, so terrified that they had lost all courage, did not even dare to lift their heads to look outside.The male clerk kept his hands on his head, huddled in the corner.The female clerk, on the other hand, was somewhat calmer and collected.It was for this reason that when she crouched behind the bar, she always felt as though there were voices coming from the front.However, since the male clerk did not hear anything, it was likely just a hallucination caused by her extreme nervousness."Forget it. Let's just do what the boss said and call the police."With that, the female clerk s
She lifted her head, a hint of stubbornness flashing in her eyes. "No matter what Lucy thinks, my man cannot be lazy and useless!"But the next moment, Serena seemed to think of something. She looked up at Liam and asked, "Can you accompany me to Faroe Garden today?""Back to Faroe Garden?" Liam was stunned for a moment. He looked at Serena and asked in confusion, "Why are we going back to Faroe Garden now?""Don't we need to deal with this situation?" Liam pointed to the mess at the entrance of the cafe and asked, puzzled."I forgot last time, there's something at Faroe Garden that I meant to give you!"Serena turned around and looked behind her. Due to the intense collision earlier, the staff had been hiding, but now they were cautiously peeking out. "As for the cafe situation, let the staff call the police to handle it...""Then..."Upon hearing this, Liam squinted his eyes. "Let's go."One reason was that he really didn't have anything else to do right now.As for the acti
Liam was not clear about the thoughts in Serena's heart.After hearing Serena's words, he did not say much, because Liam knew that whatever he said, Serena probably wouldn't believe him."Who could have thought that the accident would happen so quickly…"However, from the very beginning, Serena probably did not expect a response from Liam.After speaking, she turned her head and looked at the mess ahead. Her gaze lingered for a moment on the bodies of the Monochrome Duo Wraiths, before she gently sighed.Even now, she still believed that the reason she and Liam had survived was simply because of good luck.However...After experiencing the terror of life and death, especially the feeling when she thought she and Liam had died together, Serena was ultimately affected.Suddenly, she remembered the scene earlier, when Liam had held her tightly in his arms."You..." Serena suddenly lifted her head, an impulse driving her to look at Liam and ask, "What happened with that young lady
"You..."He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something to the unconscious Serena.However, at that moment."Mmm..."Serena let out an unconscious groan.Seeing this, Liam stopped his attempt to speak.The next moment, Serena opened her eyes."Liam… Liam…" After Serena woke up, she looked at Liam and uttered a confused phrase, "Did we… die?"In her last memory, the truck was charging toward Liam, and she had tried to push him away but failed. Ultimately, she was held in his arms.From the situation of the truck charging at them, it seemed that both of them should have died!"Dead?" Hearing this, Liam smiled and shook his head, saying, "How could we have died?""Not… dead?" Serena froze for a moment upon hearing Liam's words, her eyes flashing with astonishment. She struggled to turn her head, looking around.When she saw the chaotic state of the cafe, she froze even more.Especially when she saw the truck's front half, split in two, and the two corpses of the tr
For a moment, White Wraith was deeply worried about the future of the Nosh family.However, no matter what his thoughts were at this moment, as soon as he spoke the name of the Nosh family, their fate had already been sealed."Heh..."Seeing White Wraith's reaction, Liam immediately realized. It seemed that the so-called Nosh family from Juneau did not yet know about his connection with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation. Sending someone to kill him was likely just the first step from the Nosh family of Juneau."They really have some guts," Liam said with a slight smile, but his eyes flashed with a chilling coldness."The Nosh family in Juneau is not weak. Their influence spans all of Hestia. If you want to know more, I can tell you everything..." White Wraith trembled at the coldness in Liam's eyes. Nervously, he spoke again.At this moment, having clearly understood his situation, White Wraith had no intention of resisting. He was willing to say anything!"No need," Liam
The pain of his meridians being crushed.It's something that no human willpower can control!"Heh…" Looking at the situation in front of him, Liam let out a faint laugh.However, he did not say anything. Instead, he lightly flicked his finger, and the streak of golden light that had pierced into White Wraith's brow suddenly returned to Liam's hand."Speak."Only then did he casually say.The intense pain subsided, and White Wraith, gasping heavily, had a pale face, drenched in sweat, his eyes bulging from the severe pain he had just endured!In that moment of excruciating pain, White Wraith had even considered suicide.He had no control over his body, nor the internal energy within him!Before Liam, White Wraith had completely lost control of his body!At this moment, he truly realized that the greatest despair in this world is that even death cannot be sought!"I… I…"White Wraith raised his head to look at Liam, still shaken, his eyes trembling as he spoke directly, "It's
"Ha…"Upon hearing this, White Wraith sneered, a look of disdain flashing across his face. He did not take a single word of what Liam said to heart.His martial arts skills were astonishing, but that did not mean he could do whatever he wanted!You see, when the Nosh family began investing countless resources to cultivate them, they did not just train them in martial arts. They also trained them in assassination, stealth, and even counter-interrogation techniques. Both White Wraith and Black Wraith had undergone such training!Otherwise, they would not have ended up as they were—neither fully human nor truly noble!What's more, after becoming advanced martial arts Masters, their tolerance for pain had reached an inconceivable level!White Wraith did not believe that Liam could do anything to him without saying a word.In the beginning, their despair was only because they feared they would not be able to send the intel about Liam back to Juneau, to Arkem.But now, with no hope l
However, Liam completely ignored the thoughts in the minds of the Monochrome Duo Wraiths.He stretched out his hand, once again grabbing White Wraith by the neck, lifting him up, and in a flash, had already returned outside the cafe.Immediately after…Bang—Liam casually tossed Black and White Wraith onto the ground."Ugh..."The two froze, letting out a muffled grunt."Who... who exactly are you?"They stared wide-eyed, their gazes filled with extreme fear as they looked at the handsome young man in front of them."Who sent you?"Liam did not respond to the words of Black and White Wraith. He spoke calmly,"I..."Upon hearing Liam's words, Black and White Wraith suddenly shuddered.They tried to move, but realized that not only could they not summon their internal energy, they had even lost control over their bodies!This realization sent a wave of horror through them!"If you answer my questions honestly, I'll give you a quick end."At the same time, Liam's calm voic
"Impossible!"The moment that tall figure appeared beside him, Black Wraith's eyes widened in shock, his gaze flashing with utter disbelief."How can you be this fast?"He could not believe it.Liam's speed was beyond anything he had ever imagined!Just a second ago, Liam was still hundreds of meters away, but in the blink of an eye, he was already right beside him.If the aura emanating from Liam earlier had already made Black Wraith's heart tremble, then now… This unimaginable speed made him fully grasp the terrifying implications of Liam's overwhelming presence!All of this… It was completely beyond Black Wraith's comprehension.But in the face of Black Wraith's terrified exclamation, Liam remained silent.His expression was emotionless, his eyes devoid of any fluctuation."I..."This sight plunged Black Wraith into boundless fear.His body trembled as he considered a last-ditch effort to escape!However, the moment he tried to act, he froze. Because Liam was already i
