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
Hearing Liam's words, a cold sneer flickered across the face of Ida, who was standing behind him. She could not understand where Liam got the courage to speak like that, especially at this moment."Young man, no matter what kind of medical skills you've learned," Qassim said with a frown, "isn't it a bit excessive to be this arrogant?"He felt he was more than polite to Liam. Yet, Liam seemed rather full of himself."I'm not being arrogant," Liam replied calmly, shaking his head. To him, he was simply expressing his inner thoughts. Regardless of whether Qassim was from the Medical Guild or not, Liam believed he could handle everything before him on his own.However, to Qassim, Liam's calm words sounded extremely arrogant. "Then I want to see what skills you have!" he declared, stepping aside and watching Liam coldly.Liam, however, paid no attention to the surrounding situation. After speaking, he moved to stand beside Howser."Liam," Howser began, opening his mouth as if to sa
It seemed like a new approach was necessary.Liam squinted his eyes, lifted a finger lightly, and applied pressure with the force of twelve cuns, making a subtle vibration."Hmm?"Upon seeing this, Qassim made a surprised sound, standing stunned in place."Master Xera, what’s wrong?" Ida hurriedly asked, noticing the situation."How does he know the Floating Four-Section Pulse Diagnosis?" Qassim stared intently at Liam, his eyes filled with disbelief."Is that method uncommon?" Ida felt a sudden jolt in her heart at Qassim’s sudden change."For ordinary traditional Hestian medicine practitioners, this pulse diagnosis method is completely unknown!" Qassim nodded heavily.The Floating Four-Section Pulse Diagnosis was handed down from the medical sage Jarold Zoriah's 'Golden Chamber Essential Prescriptions'! In the traditional Hestian medicine community, it was been lost. Only within certain medical circles were there scattered inheritances, and even then, most members of those
"Who's making that noise?!"Upon hearing the abrupt voice, Ida frowned deeply and looked up, her anger palpable. They chose this tranquil estate for Howser's recovery precisely because of its quiet environment. Yet now, someone dared to create noise, disturbing Howser!As she glanced toward the source of the sound, she was momentarily taken aback. Nothing seemed out of place. Liam's fingers rested lightly on Howser's wrist, and with each gentle tap of his index finger—Thump—Thump—Thump—A sound, reminiscent of a heartbeat, echoed continuously. Each tap from Liam's finger produced a dull, resonant noise."What is he doing?" Ida, unable to understand the situation, turned to Qassim with a look of dissatisfaction and asked, "Master Xera, what exactly is that fraud Liam doing, making such a loud noise?"However, her question went unanswered. Qassim, upon witnessing the scene, stood rooted to the spot, eyes wide and face filled with shock. Each reverberating sound seemed to strik
Is all of this real or fake?"Commander Warren."Bluebird looked at Gabriel, his voice cold and calm, and nodded slightly.Compared to before, Bluebird's attitude towards Gabriel had noticeably changed.If, in the past, Bluebird's attitude towards Gabriel was like that of a subordinate to a superior in the military, then now, although she still showed respect, that sense of duty-bound obedience was gone.Because Bluebird knew very well who she was serving now!"You're really not dead..."Hearing Bluebird's admission, a flash of utter shock crossed Gabriel's eyes.In the next moment."Grand... Grandmaster Burrey..."His eyes trembled as he looked at Liam, his voice so dry due to the shock that it came out strained.Gabriel was well aware of how severe Bluebird's injuries were at that time.It could be said that everyone present had basically declared Bluebird's death.When they returned to the temporary base of the Nine Nether Squad, it was merely to fulfill Bluebird's last
At the same time…Liam was completely unaware of everything happening in South City.He also had no idea that, due to some misunderstandings, Willow was already furious and seeking help to rescue him from the Central Military Region.At this moment, he had already arrived at the Southern Military Region and met with Gabriel, who was overwhelmed with work."Grandmaster Burrey, please don't blame me for not coming to greet you…"Noticing Liam's arrival, Gabriel forced a bitter smile. After glancing at the documents in his hand, he said helplessly, "I received an unexpected notice, and I really couldn't get away…"It was clear that Gabriel genuinely felt guilty about not being able to greet Grandmaster Burrey in person.Even now, having already met Liam, he was still busy explaining himself."No need."Liam shook his head calmly.He did not care about any of this.What Liam was concerned about was the matter regarding Bluebird that Gabriel mentioned over the phone."Go ahead.
"So, Miss Lloyd, you mean to ask me to get someone out of the military for you?"Hearing Serena's words, Kenton was stunned for a moment."Mister Welford, what's wrong?"Serena's voice suddenly became flustered. "Is it a bit difficult?""From what you're saying, the unit that took the person should belong to the Central Military Region, which is different from our Western Military Region."Kenton hesitated. "Crossing war zones is indeed a bit troublesome…""Mister Welford, you must help me!"Upon hearing this, Serena grew even more anxious. "We can pay, as long as you can rescue him…"However, before she could finish, Kenton's voice interrupted."But how could I refuse a beauty's request!" Kenton chuckled heartily. "Don't worry, even if it's difficult, I can handle it. Coincidentally, I'm in South City lately. Even the commander of the Central Military Region has to give me some face!""Just give me the details about your friend and wait for my news."His voice was full of co
"Then give it a try."Sam chuckled and agreed, "I just didn't expect that one day, our Lloyd Group would choose to save that worthless Liam!""Alright."Hearing the voices around her, Hailey also nodded in agreement.However, soon, she seemed to recall something, turned to look at Serena, and asked, "But do we really have the ability to get someone out of the military's hands?""Yes."Hearing this, Serena gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with determination."If you might have a way, then go ahead and try."Seeing this, Hailey said no more and waved her hand."I just hope we don't go through all this trouble, only for that ungrateful Liam to turn his back on us!""Mom, don't worry, that won't happen!"Serena shook her head.Immediately, she turned around and quickly left the Lloyd family mansion.Not long after, Serena returned to her office at Lloyd Group.She hurriedly made her way to her desk and started searching through a pile of documents.When she finally spott
"I…" Seeing this scene, Serena's body froze abruptly, trembling slightly out of anxiety.She desperately wanted to understand the situation immediately and help Liam.However, the situation in front of her made it clear that rushing off alone to save Liam was definitely not an option!"Phew…"Serena took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.Was there any way to convince the members of the Lloyd family to help Liam?The next moment, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something."Mom, it's not that I care about Liam, but if we want to collaborate with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation on the White Glycoside Cream project, Liam cannot be in trouble!"Serena raised her head and looked at Hailey."What does our Lloyd Group's collaboration with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation have to do with that useless Liam?"Hailey frowned deeply."Mom! Think about Liam's relationship with Lucy, and you'll understand!"Serena hurriedly replied, "When you were discu
"We really don't know."Sam shook his head, but soon, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face. "But that useless Liam struts around deceiving people all day long. Maybe that's why he got into trouble with the military!""That's actually possible!" Hailey's face flashed with realization and mockery. "Looks like he's finally getting what he deserves!""Exactly!""The military isn't like us—they won't tolerate that useless Liam."Charice, standing in the back, let out a cold laugh. "Just seeing him boast and spew nonsense all day, it was obvious he'd end up like this sooner or later!""Hahaha!""Right, he's just getting what he asked for!""Serves him right for showing off in front of us all the time—he's practically asking for it!"…Inside the Lloyd family mansion, a series of schadenfreude-laden laughs echoed. Everyone from the Lloyd family started mocking Liam one after another.Among them, Etchen's voice was the most grating!However, just as the Lloyd family members were
Hailey froze for a moment, then immediately frowned. Biting her teeth in frustration, she snapped, "What the hell is going on with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation?" "A project this big, with such high profits, and they didn't even inform us? We didn't even know about the launch of the White Glycoside Cream!"And now, they won't even let us in? The Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation has gone too far!" Hailey was seething with resentment. "They really have overstepped!" Standing beside her, Sam also wore a dark expression. Other members of the Lloyd family started cursing as well. None of them had expected the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to treat the Lloyd Group this way! However… In contrast to the growing anger around her, Serena remained calm, standing silently at the back. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the way the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had handled things. She had discussed this matter with the Lloyd family mem
However, Charice and Sam had barely stepped into the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building for five minutes before they were sent out in disgrace. Just like the previous attempts, they failed once again. This time, they didn't even get past the lobby—before, at least, they could meet with someone in charge. "What's going on? Before, we could at least talk to the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's representatives, but this time, we didn't even get to see anyone!" Sam's face was filled with frustration. "If we can't get in, it means the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation really doesn't want to work with us…" Charice sighed. "But if they don't want to cooperate with the Lloyd Corporation, shouldn't they at least give us a reason?" Before Charice could finish speaking, Sam cut in, his voice laced with anger. "We used to have such a good working relationship with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, but now we don't even know about the launch of the White Gly
"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
