"Impossible! How could she achieve what our whole family couldn't?" Etchen stormed over and furiously yelled, "Dad, let me see the contract! There must be something wrong with it! Who knows if Serena is trying to fool us with a fake document? Think about it, what does Serena have that we don't—"When Etchen flipped through the contract and saw the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's signature and seal on the last page, his voice abruptly stopped.Even more shocking, Etchen noticed that not only had Serena signed the contract, but some terms had been amended, all to their advantage.Given their last disastrous collaboration with the Irving family, Etchen had put in a lot of effort for the deal with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation.To say the least, he had meticulously studied the contract and its details, which were the source of Etchen's earlier confidence.However, holding the signed contract, he found it unbelievable."Serena, how on earth did you do this?" Sam asked,
Hailey looked at Serena and asked insincerely, "Of course, it's not that I really think that, but you don't seem thrilled about the successful signing."Serena sighed softly. "Mom, there are indeed some issues despite the smooth signing, but the situation might not be as Etchen described."Hailey frowned. "If it's not as Etchen said, then what could be the reason?"A conflicted expression flashed in Serena's eyes, and she spoke softly, "I'm not sure either, but during my conversation with Mister Jenkins, I received some information. Liam might have truly facilitated our cooperation with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation!"When those words left Serena's mouth, Hailey's eyebrows shot up."Who did you say?""Liam."Serena lowered her head. "Mister Jenkins told me some relevant details, and all the clues pointed to Liam—""Will you stop?!"Before Serena could finish, Hailey interrupted with a tirade. "Is this your excuse? Why are you still bringing up that useless person?"E
However, the voice from the phone made Serena's body tremble."The number you have dialed is currently out of the service area…"Standing beside her, Etchen also heard the voice from the phone."Out of the service area? Serena, how do you plan to explain this?"He sneered and continued, "In this day and age, who still gets an 'out of service area' message? That useless Liam doesn't even want to take your call, and you think he'll help you set up a collaboration with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation?"Serena waved her hand frantically. "It's not like that. We just spoke on the phone a short while ago…"As she spoke, she quickly took out her phone and dialed the number again.However, it was the same as the last. The response was still out of the service area.Serena's hand holding the phone stiffened, and her vision went dark as she almost fainted.She had never expected it.Hailey's face turned cold as she said, "You just spoke to that useless Liam? Are my words always
At the beginning, it was clearly them who had taken away the project that rightfully belonged to Serena. However, Serena was left with a heart full of fear and grievance.She lifted her head, trying hard to explain. "Mom, I really didn't… I heard from Mister Jenkins that when the new drug from the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation is launched, there will be a launch event. Then, you'll see whether it's Liam or not!"Etchen scoffed coldly, "Serena, I really underestimated you! I didn't expect you not to learn anything useful, but you sure learned how to babble nonsense like Liam! How dare you say such things?"Liam, that useless fool, is he even qualified to attend any new drug launch event? He probably doesn't even know what the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation is!"Serena lifted her head. "I'm not talking nonsense!"Etchen's face was full of disdain. "Not talking nonsense, huh! What if Liam doesn't attend the new drug launch event you mentioned?"Serena tried hard to speak. "
"Ronald showed a hint of displeasure. "Alright, alright. Why are you shouting so loudly? What if Serena hears you?""Hmph!"Hailey closed her mouth, aware of the problem Ronald mentioned. Even so, she still gritted her teeth and muttered softly, "Ever since that good-for-nothing got out of prison, she doesn't even know who she is anymore! Not only is she useless to the Lloyd Group, but she also dares to plot against her own family!"Etchen's face was ashen. "Mom, now isn't the time to be angry. Dad is right. Now that the contract is in Serena's hands, we can only endure her for a few days."Etchen spat angrily, "Once the project is on track, we can settle the score with her!"…Meanwhile, Liam, who had arrived at the Central Military Region base with Gabriel, was unaware of the Lloyd family's happenings.Standing beside Liam, Gabriel smiled. "Grandmaster Burrey, you don't need to check your phone. You are now in a top-secret location in the Central Military Region. Your phone wo
"They've been undergoing special training here recently.""Oh?"Hearing Gabriel's words, Liam squinted and looked down.The serene and deep ancient forest revealed no unusual signs. However, Liam keenly noticed the subtle traces of human activity hidden within the forest.Liam pointed to the area and asked, "Is it there?"Gabriel was astonished to see the direction Liam pointed in. "How did you know, Grandmaster Burrey?"The Special Forces team's tasks were mostly confidential, so it was of utmost importance to remain hidden. The temporary camp they had chosen was incredibly secretive.Gabriel never expected Liam to recognize the Special Forces team's camp on his first visit, a camp that Gabriel had visited dozens of times before he could barely remember it.Liam shook his head lightly. "The traces they left are too obvious."Gabriel was at a loss for words.He looked down, straining his eyes, but he still could not find any of the traces Liam mentioned. However, with the dis
"I understand the urgency, and I'm in a hurry too. No one wants to keep coming last in the competition. It's too embarrassing!" Chimera sighed. "We're different from the other war zones. They have more resources than us. I've heard their instructors include martial arts masters!" Yeti asked, "Martial arts masters? I've never even seen one!"Chimera looked resentful. "Here, all we have are the quacks that Commander Warren found out of desperation. Do you remember the last instructor who was hyped up as extraordinary? He couldn't even take one punch from me, yet he was supposed to train us?" Yeti shook his head, listening to Chimera. "I haven't forgotten about the last time either, but the instructor seems different this time. The competition is about to start. Commander Warren wouldn't bring in someone random again. I heard even he addresses him with utmost respect as 'Supreme Instructor'!"Chimera sneered, looking up at the armed helicopter circling above. A look of disdain cro
Chimera hurriedly stepped forward, braving the surrounding dust and smoke, rushing toward where that figure had landed.He could not make sense of what had just happened. Why would someone suddenly jump from hundreds of feet high? Did they not fear death?However, a gentle breeze swept through before Chimera could get far, dispersing the surrounding smoke and dust. As the air cleared, Chimera, Yeti, and the last standing Bluebird saw it clearly.A massive crater had formed in the ground ahead from the intense impact.At that moment, a tall, handsome man with a slender build walked calmly out of the crater.The man, noticing the commotion outside, raised his head and looked indifferently at the three people ahead as he asked, "Don't you all train?""Umm..."Chimera was stunned and froze in place. Yeti also stood still, his face filled with shock. Bluebird, standing at the back, was equally astonished."Do you not understand me?"Seeing the people before him standing motionless,
