"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
Hans squinted at Liam, a trace of coldness in his eyes. "After all, our accounts are far from settled. The Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation has yet to give me an explanation about my brother!""Don't worry. Your matters will all be addressed shortly," Liam replied calmly.Time ticked away second by second. A considerable amount of time had passed since Liam mentioned waiting for the official from the Qyn Province, but there was still no sign of any movement around them.Hans glanced at his watch and frowned but remained silent.However, Jace from Solaris Pharmaceuticals lost patience first. He raised his head, his expression dark.Jace stared at Liam and demanded, "So much time has passed, and still nothing! How much longer are you going to make us wait?"Following Jace's outburst, the other pharmaceutical company representatives also directed their dissatisfaction at Liam."We gave you time to prepare, but you cowered. Now, you're making us wait again!""Exactly! What's your
"What?"In the next moment, Liam seemed to have received some shocking news from the phone. He turned abruptly, looking at Jerry, who was standing nearby.Liam furrowed his brow and said, "They told me that the area within a kilometer radius has been sealed off by soldiers. No vehicles or people are allowed to enter."Upon hearing Liam's words, Jerry trembled, a flash of tension crossing his face. The next moment, he quickly took out his communicator and sternly said, "What are you all doing? Assemble here immediately!"After Jerry finished speaking, a series of engine roars suddenly echoed around the Hill family mansion in less than five minutes.The ground began to tremble. The deafening noise made everyone's hearts quiver!Soon, nearly a hundred military vehicles, fully loaded with soldiers, surged from all directions like a steel torrent.They stopped around the Hill family mansion.With the sound of doors opening, soldiers continuously jumped out of the vehicles.Before l
"General, we've got Ian here!"Upon hearing Jerry's words, a balding middle-aged officer, Ian Yates, was pushed forward by a few soldiers."Lieutenant General Foster, I don't even know the person you're talking about!" The balding officer, visibly terrified, moved forward step by step. His face was full of panic as he cried out in despair, "As for the medicinal herbs purchased a few days ago, yes, that did happen, but Grandmaster Burrey needed those herbs! I have no idea what's going on!"His voice trembled as he kept explaining.Ian was still in the dark about the situation. He had been comfortably stationed at his post when suddenly a few Special Forces officers appeared, grabbed him, and said he needed to cooperate with an investigation. At the time, Ian thought he was in some serious trouble. While he was brought there, he found out that he did not know any of the people mentioned by the Special Forces officers."This is nonsense."Liam could not help but sigh at the scen
Lucy stood by the side. Her mouth was agape, and the expression on her delicate face was utterly bewildered. Even in her wildest dreams, she never thought she would witness the scene before her eyes. "Grandmaster Burrey..." She looked at Liam in a daze and finally understood what her grandfather meant when he said that Liam could obliterate their entire family in an instant. Liam had the power to make the entire the Qyn province bow down in submission, not just the Hill family."Grandmaster Burrey!" Suddenly, a slightly frantic voice came from a distance, breaking Lucy's daze."Officer Vohn?" Lucy looked in the direction the voice came from. Her body trembled, and she was once again stunned in place.In front of her, hurriedly running with a few others, was a middle-aged man who was none other than Chuck Vohn, the highest-ranking official of the Qyn Province."Grandmaster Burrey, I apologize for my late arrival," Chuck said anxiously after arriving in front of Liam.As
"You... what do you mean by that?"Upon hearing Liam's words, Sebastian was momentarily stunned. He had no idea what this young man was suddenly talking about!What did he mean by saying that once the bodyguards returned, Lloyd Group would cease to exist?Lloyd Group, which spanned across the entire Qyn Province with a powerful background, had been doing booming business lately. How could it just disappear like that?Sebastian knew that Liam’s idea was, in theory, quite good. After all, if Lloyd Group were to disappear, the Nosh family would suffer a huge blow, and they would have no time to cause trouble for them in the short term.However, the idea of Lloyd Group disappearing was nothing more than a beautiful fantasy. It was impossible!It was not just Sebastian.Charles and Janell were also stunned after hearing Liam’s words.To be honest, after experiencing the events earlier, their impression of Liam had already changed quite a bit.As the current head of the Hensworth fa
"Sigh…"Sebastian listened to Liam’s words, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed heavily before speaking, "But even if you want to take action, you should leave no trace!"Although he had not expected Liam to suddenly take such drastic measures, Sebastian still understood the situation to some extent. After all, even he, an old man, was so furious at Godfrey’s earlier words that he could barely contain himself. It was needless to say how someone like Liam, a young man, would feel!Moreover, Godfrey had been threatening Liam not long ago. But Sebastian still felt that Liam had not thought this through completely.Sebastian, after all, was the man who had built the Hensworth family’s foundation, and he had a certain ruthless streak in him. He believed that now that Liam had already taken action, he should not have let those two bodyguards go back."Leave no trace behind!" he thought. Even those two bodyguards should not be spared. Who knows, the truth of Godfrey’s death might s
"Ugh…"Godfrey's body shuddered, his eyes flashing with intense unwillingness. He struggled, as if trying to say something, but not a word escaped his lips.Finally—Bang!A dull thud echoed as Godfrey’s body slammed heavily onto the ground, lifeless.Even in his wildest dreams, he could not have imagined—In South City, someone would actually dare to kill him!In Godfrey's mind, with Union Finance's status in the Qyn Province, it was inconceivable that anyone would dare act against him. Liam had broken his leg earlier, which was already outrageous enough!Otherwise, he would not have arrogantly declared moments ago, threatening to grind Liam's bones to dust unless he fled immediately.Who could have guessed—From the very beginning, Liam had no intention of letting Godfrey go!What Union Finance?What powerful connections in Juneau?To Liam, none of that mattered in the slightest."What now?"Liam stood up, casually tossing the dagger to Bluebird before turning to face
In the very next moment…As soon as Charles and the others processed what was happening, they hurriedly turned to Liam, frantically urging, "Liam, you need to leave now! This time, you’ve really gotten yourself into trouble!"Even though Charles and his companions still had not figured out what exactly was going on in front of them, and they had no idea who the woman who suddenly appeared was or what her relationship with Liam might be, they were absolutely certain that this time, Liam had truly stirred up major trouble!Despite Liam and the mysterious woman who appeared behind him both displaying impressive skills, they were still only two people.When faced with United Financial, Liam wouldn’t stand a chance of resisting.Not to mention—breaking Godfrey’s leg had completely severed any chance of reconciliation with United Financial. With Godfrey’s vengeful nature, this would undoubtedly escalate to a fight to the death!In Charles’s eyes, Liam’s only option was to flee immedi
"Don’t! Don’t you dare interfere with me!"Sensing the bodyguards' movements, Godfrey suddenly snapped awake. His face twisted with fury, his eyes bloodshot as he roared, "Kill him for me! Kill him!"The searing pain in his leg distorted Godfrey's features, but none of it could mask the blazing anger inside him.He, Godfrey, had been beaten into this state by a mere useless ex-convict!Even the Lloyd Group, the former backer of that useless ex-convict, Liam, wouldn’t have dared to treat him this way!Who gave him the nerve to do this?At the instant Godfrey's order rang out, the two bodyguards who had initially rushed toward him abruptly turned around. They swiftly drew retractable batons from their waists and aimed them straight at Liam’s head!"Yes! Beat him to death for me! I want his skin peeled off!"Godfrey's body trembled as he screamed madly at the scene before him.However, just as the two batons were about to strike Liam from both sides...A flash of cold light strea
Charles could not just stand by.However, Liam had not continued speaking yet.The moment Godfrey heard Charles’s words, his eyes widened abruptly, and an exaggerated grin appeared on his face."Liam?"Godfrey extended a finger, pointing straight at Liam, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he asked, "You wouldn’t happen to be that Liam, famed in South City, would you?"It was clear he had heard of Liam’s exploits."I don’t know anything about being famed in South City."Liam looked at Godfrey calmly and said, "I am Liam Burrey.""Hahaha!"Hearing Liam’s response, Godfrey burst into uncontrollable laughter, clutching his stomach. His laughter was saturated with ridicule. "I can’t take it! You’re killing me!"I thought the Hensworth family found someone reliable to back them up, but it turns out it’s just a useless piece of trash!"And you dare spout nonsense about breaking my legs?"Shaking his head, his face was full of disdain. "Now it’s clear—you people have lost your mind
"Liam…"Seeing the scene before her, Valerie trembled.When she first heard Godfrey’s merciless words, her heart burned with grief and indignation. Yet, Valerie also understood that in the face of this situation, she did not have any viable solutions.The moment she realized Godfrey was from Union Finance, Valerie knew the Hensworth Group was nothing in comparison.What’s more, the Hensworth Group was currently on the brink of bankruptcy and had to rely on Godfrey for help!She never imagined Liam would step up at such a moment.After all, she had only asked Liam to pretend to be her boyfriend; there was no real relationship between them.And Union Finance wasn’t just powerful. Its background was incredibly mysterious.There were long-standing rumors that Union Finance in Qyn Province had connections to Juneau.Otherwise, the Nosh family could not have dominated the vast financial market and remained unshaken for so many years.Even if Liam might be capable of resolving this,
"I…"Hearing this, Charles was momentarily stunned.But in the end, he shook his head and said, "Mister Nosh, if Union Finance truly can't approve a loan for the Hensworth Group, then so be it."We'll figure out another way…"Charles's voice was low and heavy. At first, he genuinely believed Godfrey wanted to be with Valerie. But now it was clear Godfrey had no such intentions—he only wanted to toy with Valerie. How could Charles possibly agree to this?At the same time, his heart was filled with regret. He had almost become the one to push his daughter into a pit of fire!"You'll figure out another way?"Godfrey's expression darkened. He glared at Charles coldly and sneered. "Ten billion in loans, just to have Valerie play with me for a while! I really didn't know that any wh*re on the market could be this expensive!""If you don't agree, I'd like to see which other financial institution in Qyn Province would dare lend to you without Union Finance's approval!"The entire orde
"What’s wrong with you?"Hearing this, Godfrey furrowed his brows and said in a dissatisfied tone, "How long has it been? How could you not handle such a simple matter?""You still want that loan from the Hensworth Group approved, don’t you?"He immediately reprimanded Charles."Whether or not I’m with you is my business, it has nothing to do with my father!"Upon hearing this, Valerie immediately understood the implication behind Godfrey's words. Although she had just been angry with Charles, she could not allow Godfrey to speak to her father like that."Then what exactly are you thinking now?"Hearing Valerie's words, Godfrey turned his head, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light as he looked at her. "The other day, I asked you to go out for drinks. Why didn’t you go?"The reason Godfrey had come in and started pressuring Charles was that he sensed that Valerie seemed uninterested in him.However, he had not expected Valerie to suddenly speak up at this moment."I did
