Liam listened to the report from Lucy and simply said four words."Wait for my return." With that, he hung up the phone. Lucy, who had been filled with panic and despair, felt a sense of relief the moment she heard Liam's voice.Lucy firmly believed that as long as Liam was around, there would be no problems.Meanwhile, on the armed helicopter, Liam recalled the information Lucy had conveyed over the phone. He narrowed his eyes, a cold gleam flashing through them.He could not believe that so much had happened in the few days he was at the Nine Nether squad's base. After Morgan's attempt to seize the Spring Dawn Tincture, the Danzel family dared to unite with other pharmaceutical companies and provocatively challenge them.On the other side of the helicopter, Gabriel's assigned liaison, Jerry Foster, noticed the change in Liam's expression and quickly asked, "Grandmaster Burrey, is something wrong?"Liam shook his head, looking calmly at the clouds outside the window, "It's
"Let's hope Grandmaster Burrey can return soon!"Steven's face showed a hint of urgency. The Hill family had great admiration for Liam!'Before Grandmaster Burrey returns, I need to prepare and see if there's anything I can do to help him,' Lucy thought before hurrying away.As she stepped out of the room, she heard a commotion outside the Hill family mansion."What's going on?" Noticing the unusual noise outside, Lucy paused before heading towards the door."Where's Lucy? Tell her to come out and see me! Today is the last day! Does she still intend to hide like a coward?"Before she even reached the door, Lucy heard a sharp voice. She frowned, pushed open the door, and stepped out.Standing at the entrance was Hans Denzel, the head of the Danzel family and chairman of Caduceus Pharmaceuticals, with a cold expression. Behind him were a large number of people.Among them were Jace Solaris, chairman of Solaris Pharmaceuticals, Fred Rendall, president of PureGen Group, and Kenji
"Y-you..."Lucy was suddenly at a loss for words.As a businesswoman, she understood that the marketplace was akin to a battlefield. However, witnessing those prominent figures shamelessly flaunting their demands before her, anger surged within her heart. "You see everyone's stance, right? We're all dissatisfied with your current actions!" Contrary to the rising tension, Hans grew more smug. He sneered and continued, "I still address you as the leader of the Hill Group now, but if the agreed time passes without a satisfactory response from you, don't blame us for canceling the application for listing your company!" Lucy was even more infuriated. "What more do you want me to do?"Hans's demands were simply impossible to meet! He brought so many people to the Hill family not to solve the problem amicably but to pressure them. Faced with that situation, she felt utterly helpless. To Lucy, it was an unsolvable deadlock! "Grandmaster Burrey..."She anxiously glanced at the t
It was not only Lucy. Everyone else, including Hans, the heads of various pharmaceutical groups were all drawn by the unusual noise. They all looked up.A small black dot slowly appeared at the edge of the skyline. As the rumbling sound grew louder, the small black dot gradually became larger."A helicopter?"The moment Hans saw clearly what the small black dot on the horizon was, he was taken aback.Everyone there were CEOs of various pharmaceutical companies, all billionaires with considerable experience. They were no strangers to helicopters and the like.However, what surprised them was seeing a helicopter in the provincial capital of the Qyn Province.Due to the Qyn Province's unique geographical location, the airspace over the provincial capital was extremely strictly regulated.Apart from civil aviation aircraft, basically no private aircraft could obtain flight clearance. However, there was a helicopter boldly flying toward them.How could the situation not astonish the
"Grandmaster Burrey?"When he heard Lucy's words, Hans froze in shock. He stared, wide-eyed, at the tall figure ahead of him.The young man stepping off the armed helicopter was the president of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation?As Liam disembarked from the helicopter, he clearly had not expected so many people to be gathered in front of him.He paused for a moment before he started walking toward Lucy.The dozen armed soldiers behind him prepared to follow. However, before they could move, they were stopped by a wave of Jerry's hand.Jerry remembered that Gabriel had once instructed him that Liam disliked making a big scene in such situations.In an instant, the previously noisy Hill family mansion fell into a dead silence. Only the sound of Liam's footsteps could be heard.Liam quickly reached Lucy and asked calmly, "Why are there so many people at the door? How did the matter you mentioned on the phone get handled?"Hearing that familiar, composed voice, Lucy could no
Hans stared at Liam, a cold smile flashing across his face. "After all this time, you finally dare to show yourself?"Liam squinted slightly at the man standing before him, head held high and an air of arrogance on his face. "You are?"Hans's face darkened. "You had the audacity to harm my brother, and you don't even know who I am? I never imagined that the mysterious president of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation would turn out to be just a young upstart!"Hans looked Liam up and down, a mocking glint in his eyes. "No wonder the daughter of the Hill family, Lucy, is so smitten with you. She's even willing to work for you without complaint!"From Hans's observations, Liam only had a minor connection with the military. His real backing was Lucy.After all, many resources of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation were obtained through the Hill family, all thanks to Lucy.Hans relaxed. Despite the Hill family's wealth and influence, they were not to be feared.Liam raised his
As the commander of the Central Military Region's Special Forces, Jerry was a lieutenant general with real power!At that time, Gabriel, worried about Liam's safety, specifically transferred Jerry from the Special Forces to act as Liam's liaison.It was not just Jerry. Even the fully armed soldiers standing beside the helicopter, who did not come along, probably held ranks higher than Ian!However, that foolhardy individual in front of them… How did he have the courage to mention Ian?The next moment, Jerry's eyes narrowed, and a fierce look flashed across his face. "Do you know who Grandmaster Burrey is—""Enough."However, before Jerry could finish speaking, Liam interrupted him. He did not want to get entangled with Hans in military matters.Liam looked calmly at Hans. "You said there's a problem with the Bellflower formula. Do you have any evidence?"Seeing Liam stop Jerry from speaking, Hans thought Liam was afraid.He raised his head, a cold smile appearing on his face a
When Lucy first met Liam, her heart was quite at ease. After all, she always believed that as long as Liam was there, there would be no problems.Especially since Liam arrived at the Hill residence in an armed helicopter. Although Lucy had no idea what connections Liam had with the military, the sight gave her even more confidence!However, when Liam mentioned contacting the provincial officials, Lucy suddenly became anxious. She feared that Liam was overestimating himself.When Hans pulled out that official test report, Lucy immediately sought out the relevant personnel. After all, before the listing of the Bellflower, they had conducted numerous safety and efficacy checks.Bellflower had no issues at all. Otherwise, they would never have obtained the drug approval number.However, when Lucy went to understand the situation, she discovered that the drug approval number for the Bellflower had also been frozen.Upon realizing that, Lucy tried every possible means and contacted eve
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
A surging, overwhelming aura erupted from Liam's body, reaching the heavens and shaking the earth!In an instant, under the influence of this intense aura, the once-chaotic cafe seemed as if it were swept by a violent storm. Objects all around trembled incessantly!For the first time, Liam, fueled by anger, fully unleashed his inner energy as his aura surged ever higher!"What…"The moment this scene unfolded, a flicker of shock flashed through the eyes of Bluebird.As someone who had reached the peak of martial arts—a true martial arts Ascendant—Bluebird's progress in martial arts was closely linked to Liam. However, she had broken through a critical barrier and stepped into a new realm!Though she was aware of Liam's extraordinary strength, after stepping into the martial arts Ascendant level, Bluebird never ceased her cultivation. She even believed that the gap between herself and Grandmaster Burrey was steadily narrowing.Yet now, as this scene unfolded before her, Bluebird
At that time, Yaksha casually mentioned that Liam was accompanied by a woman protecting him.When the Monochrome Duo Wraiths heard this, they found it utterly ridiculous.They did not know what kind of man needs a woman to protect him?When Arkem sent the Monochrome Duo Wraiths, he probably had similar thoughts—Liam would be dealt with swiftly!After all, compared to ordinary people, an advanced martial arts Master is already superhuman!But even in their wildest dreams, the Monochrome Duo Wraiths never expected the female bodyguard they underestimated and looked down upon turned out to be a martial arts Ascendant!Yes.A martial arts Ascendant!Only a martial arts Ascendant could effortlessly cleave the front of a massive truck in half with a single slash!When that scene unfolded before their eyes, the Monochrome Duo Wraiths froze on the spot!How many martial arts Ascendants are there in the entire Hestia?Since stepping into the martial arts world, the Monochrome Duo Wr
