Ronald sighed deeply as he listened to Etchen's words."Liam is the one who convinced Mister Ulrick to visit. We all know what kind of person he is. We should never have placed any hope in him. It was the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation that clouded our judgment!""Dad! Stop talking about the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation!" Etchen snapped.Ronald let out a bitter laugh. "Now, I even suspect Liam lied about owning the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation. Even though I don't understand why they ended their partnership with the Irving family and chose to collaborate with us instead, I still think it has nothing to do with Liam!"His face was full of sarcasm. "Don't forget. Earlier, Liam claimed that the Warchester family and the Fowler Society's issues were also because of him!"Can't you see? This liar has made lying a habit!"There are indeed some problems!"Nodding in agreement, Ronald continued, "After all, the owner of such a significant foundation couldn't possibly be
Sam glanced at Serena again and shook his head, listening to the surrounding murmurs.Serena's beautiful face grew even paler. She kept her head down and stayed silent.The once cold and proud female CEO appeared as if all her spirit had been drained.Meanwhile, as the Lloyd family members continued to discuss Liam, even pointing fingers at Serena, a different scene was unfolding inside the Rolls-Royce.Ida stared coldly at Liam, who sat opposite her, and yelled at him."I don't know what kind of spell you cast on my grandfather! He's bedridden, yet he insists it's not your fault and is determined to keep this appointment! I'm not like my grandfather. I will never trust a fraud like you! My grandfather is undergoing critical treatment right now. If anything happens to him, I'll make you pay!"Ida had come to the Lloyd family to visit on behalf of Howser. However, due to her own impulsive decisions, the visit had turned into a confrontation.Liam replied calmly, "I told you befor
"Just you wait!"Ida cast one last cold glance at Liam before turning away. Liam, however, had already seen through everything. He shook his head, dismissing Ida."The Medical Guild?"The words Ida had mentioned lingered in his mind, causing him to squint slightly.Not long after, the Rolls-Royce stopped outside an estate. Howser owned multiple properties in South City, so they had not come to the Hush Purple Gardens."We're here!"Ida stepped out of the car, casting another cold glance at Liam. "My grandfather is upstairs. He's about to receive treatment. You better pray nothing happens to him."She then led her entourage upstairs. Liam followed suit, keeping pace with the group.They soon arrived at the second-floor corridor. Due to Howser's illness, many people were anxiously gathered there. Among them was Preston, whom Liam had previously met at the Hush Purple Gardens.However, the most striking figure in the crowd was a tall man standing at the front, exuding a commandin
Liam did not speak yet when Ida's furious voice suddenly burst out. "I just can't understand who gave him the courage to say such things!"If it weren't for my grandfather's unwavering protection, I would've taught him a lesson long ago!"Ida looked coldly at Liam.Hearing Ida's words, Chester could not help but frown. He heard plenty about Liam from Howser. Although the real cause of Howser's paralysis was yet to be determined, he knew that Howser's health rapidly deteriorated after he started learning martial arts from Liam. Moreover, he never heard Howser mention that Liam had any medical skills. How was it now that the old man's condition could only be resolved by him?However, unlike Ida, Chester did not immediately assume Liam was a fraud."Go downstairs and wait," Chester said, shaking his head after glancing at Liam. "You don't need to worry about the old man's situation."In consideration of Howser, Chester felt he was already being courteous enough to Liam. Who would
"Yes, it's me." Hearing the voice from the room ahead, Liam raised his head."Could it be Liam?" Upon hearing Liam's confirmation, Howser was instantly thrilled. He quickly ordered, "Chester, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring Liam in!""Come with me." At Howser's words, Chester shook his head slightly. Then, he went to the door and opened it for Liam. The icy glint in Liam's eyes gradually faded as he stepped past Chester and entered the room. After Liam entered, Chester let out a long sigh, giving Liam a deep look. Upon closer inspection, one could see beads of sweat dotting Chester's forehead. "That brat, he is quite intimidating!" Although he did not know how Liam managed it, Chester was reluctant to admit it. But in that moment when Liam started the countdown, the Underground Emperor of South City felt the most profound fear he ever experienced. It was as if, in that instant, he was facing not a man but a god of immense power. Shaking his head
Liam never showcased his martial arts skills.Although he mentioned that martial arts were meant for killing, Howser suspected there was something more to it, some unspeakable secret Liam was hiding. Worried about hitting a sore spot, Howser decided not to press further."A special reason?" Ida sneered. "I think it's because he doesn't know how! This time, as soon as he heard that Grandpa had problems after practicing his Lesser Nine Skies Tai Chi Fist, he rushed over to see you!"Isn't this behavior proof that he knows his technique is flawed and feels guilty?" Ida was furious."I'm here for Howser's health," Liam's calm voice interrupted before Howser could speak."For my grandfather's health?" Ida's tone turned even more mocking. "You paralyzed my grandfather with your fake martial arts, and now you're pretending to treat him, thinking you can deceive us again! With so many people here, I want to see how you plan to deceive us this time!"She stepped back, giving Liam more s
Ida was dissatisfied with Liam at first, but her negative emotions were not that strong.After all, despite Howser losing sensation in his lower body due to practicing the martial arts Liam mentioned, Ida believed that with the medical experts brought by Chester, her grandfather's health could still be restored.Through Chester's descriptions, Ida had some understanding of these exceptional medical experts. She was well aware of their extraordinary skills.However, Ida never imagined that after Qassim examined her grandfather, he would declare himself helpless! This statement implied that Howser might never be able to stand again for the rest of his life.The moment Ida heard Qassim’s words, her resentment toward Liam became uncontrollable. All she wanted now was for Liam to pay the price. However, since her grandfather was still protecting Liam, she needed to find a suitable excuse.Recalling Liam’s boastful claim that only he could resolve her grandfather's condition, a cold g
Howeser waved his hand dismissively, "In my entire life, I've never been willing to be second to anyone. I thought that as I got older, I would no longer have a chance to shine. Who would have thought that in the end, I would face a problem that even the greatest medical experts couldn't solve?"I've lived a worthy life!" Howser laughed heartily.Seeing Howser's demeanor, Chester's eyes filled with a deep sense of sorrow. Having followed Howser for so many years, their relationship evolved far beyond that of master and disciple—they were more like family. Chester understood better than anyone just how strong-willed the old man lying on the bed was. The thought of him spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair was something Chester knew Howser couldn't truly be at peace with, despite the calm front he put on."Sigh," Chester let out another heavy sigh. No one expected a seemingly minor issue to escalate to this extent."Grandpa, don't be so pessimistic!" At that moment, Ida's
