However, at that moment, no one paid attention to Chester's words. Witnessing everything that unfolded before her, Ida's eyes trembled, and her mind went blank. Beyond the intense shock, she now realized just how severely she erred.In the next moment, a trace of bitterness crossed Ida's beautiful face. She took a step forward and approached Liam. Facing him, she bowed deeply."Grandmaster Burrey, I am sorry, it was my mistake!" Ida said, her voice trembling as she kept her head down. "It was my recklessness and presumptuousness that misunderstood you, Grandmaster Burrey. I spoke carelessly, but as long as you can forgive me, I will agree to any condition you set!"Although Ida's spoiled personality made her somewhat unruly, she was quick to admit her mistakes and apologize once she realized them."No problem," Liam replied. He turned his head to glance at her and shook his head lightly. He did not care about Ida's earlier actions. Or rather, he did not give any thought to it from
The next moment, Howser turned abruptly toward Liam as he spoke nervously."Grandmaster Burrey, I don’t know what Ida did at the Lloyd family's home, but all of this is our fault! Tell us how we can make amends. Whatever it is, we'll do it immediately!"Liam glanced at Howser. Recalling the change in the Lloyd family's attitude when Ida arrived and accused him of being a fraud, he let out a sneer as he shook his head."There's nothing for you to do.""But..."Howser opened his mouth as if to say more but hesitated when he saw Liam’s firm attitude. He lowered his head and said no more.Liam examined Howser’s legs again and said, "Alright, since your legs are healed, there's nothing more to address. When you train, be mindful of your waist. There's an old injury."Having said that, Liam turned around to leave. After all, he came here only because of Howser’s sudden health issue. Now that the problem was resolved, he had no reason to stay.Howser’s eyes flashed with urgency. He bl
Hearing Liam's words, a flash of anxiety appeared on Chester's face. He waved his hands frantically and exclaimed, "Grandmaster Burrey, it's not like that! Those titles were forced upon me by others. How could I dare call myself an emperor in front of you?"Liam's words had scared Chester.However, Liam remained calm and continued, "Since that's the case, I actually have two things I need you to do."Chester’s expression became serious as he solemnly replied, "Grandmaster Burrey, your command is my duty!"Liam looked at Chester with a steady gaze. "The first task is to make all gangs involved with loan sharks in South City disappear, just like what the Fowler Society has been doing recently."Chester was stunned. "Was it your orders that Nathaniel carried out?"Liam nodded lightly. "Yes, I instructed Nathaniel to handle that matter.""Well…"Chester's eyes widened in surprise. It was not that Liam’s request was overly difficult. While eliminating all loan shark-related gangs in
Liam's demeanor revealed just how important the matter was."Grandmaster Burrey..."At that moment, Qassim's voice suddenly broke the silence.He approached Liam cautiously and asked, "May I invite you to visit the Medical Guild, Grandmaster Burrey? The techniques you've mastered far surpass those of many of our great masters. We hope you can come to our sect and enlighten us with your knowledge."Of course, once you visit, you can freely browse our extensive collection of medical texts. While your skills are extraordinary, our texts might still offer some value to you. If you come, everyone will be deeply grateful for your kindness!"Qassim's nervousness was palpable. He knew that apart from their medical texts, they had little else of value to offer. Given Liam's expertise, those texts might not hold much appeal.Liam frowned and asked, "The Medical Guild?"However, something caught his attention.His eyes sharpened as he pointed to a feather adorning the sachet at Qassim's w
"Alright, since there's nothing else, I'll be heading back."With that, Liam glanced at Howser and Chester before turning to leave.Liam made it clear that he intended to leave. Howser and the others did not try to stop him.As they watched Liam leave, a look of astonishment crossed everyone's faces. They had not expected that Liam would leave so calmly after helping them so much!It was as if he had simply brushed off the matter and walked away. His attitude made them admire Liam even more.Howser put on a conflicted smile. "Who would've thought that at such a young age, Liam would be truly extraordinary?"He still felt incredibly fortunate to have met Liam that day at the top of the Hush Purple Gardens.The memory of the shock Liam brought them was still vivid in Howser's mind. In fact, he could barely feel any joy about reaching the level of inner energy he had longed for.Ida stood beside him, looking up and hesitantly speaking, "Grandpa, are we really not going to do anyth
Etchen put down his phone, a cold smile playing on his lips as he looked around."What?""The Irving family is going bankrupt?""How did you get this news?"As soon as Etchen spoke, the entire Lloyd family home was thrown into chaos. The Lloyd family members widened their eyes in shock, their faces full of astonishment. They did not see it coming.Ronald lifted his head, a hint of surprise flashing across his face. He hesitated for a moment before speaking."If the Irving family is indeed on the brink of bankruptcy, as you say, it's understandable that the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation canceled their cooperation with them, but is this news reliable?"If this has nothing to do with Liam, why would they choose to collaborate with the Lloyd Group just as Liam suggested?"Etchen scoffed. "Dad! How can this news be fake? I've said all along that this is just a coincidence! After the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation canceled their cooperation with the Irving family, they had t
Upon hearing the news, Hailey's vision darkened, and she trembled violently. "What's going on? What about the Lloyd family's money?"She vividly remembered how Alex deceived them and took a huge sum from the Lloyd family. That was all the liquid capital of the Lloyd Group!When Etchen signed the contract with Alex, Hailey insisted on transferring the funds to Alex immediately."I..."Etchen was momentarily stunned by Hailey's words. He had been so focused on mocking Serena that he had forgotten the most important matter for the Lloyd family.After all, if the Irving family had not gone bankrupt, they might have found ways to recover some of the money. However, it was clear that Alex had ulterior motives when he chose to cooperate with the Lloyd Group.Seeing Etchen's expression, Hailey realized that her son had no solution either. She glared fiercely, gritting her teeth."That damned Alex!"However, she seemed to have forgotten how eager she was when dealing with Alex."What d
Ronald let out a deep sigh and made a decision. "Alright, then. The Lloyd Group is already in such a crisis. Serena will surely understand our decision!" A smile flickered across Hailey's plump face as she waved her hand and said, "What we need to wait for now is to see when the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation will sign the contract with us!"The Lloyd family felt unburdened after learning that the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had no connection with Liam. They did not even discuss it with Serena before deciding everything!Meanwhile, Liam was completely unaware of what was happening with the Lloyd family. He did not know that a misunderstanding had triggered a series of chain reactions within the Lloyd family home.After hanging up a phone call that went unanswered, Liam shook his head.He had told Serena that he would have Howser visit the Lloyd family in person. Although some unexpected events occurred, Liam still felt that he needed to clarify everything himself.How
