Gabriel's booming voice was clear within a one-meter radius.Liam frowned immediately. "Gabriel, try causing trouble for me again!""No, no! Grandmaster Burrey, I was just worried you might be in danger."Hearing the anger in Liam's voice, Gabriel became flustered as he hurriedly tried to explain, "I didn't mean to—""If you've got something to say, just say it."Before Gabriel could finish, Liam interrupted him.Gabriel paused, then cautiously continued, "The Grand Tournament is about to start, and the Special Forces Team mentioned your special training has been very effective, so I wanted to ask when you might be coming back, Grandmaster Burrey…"Listening to the voice on the communicator, Liam's face showed a trace of helplessness. He had not expected Gabriel to circle back to the topic of the Special Forces Team.Liam shook his head. "When the time comes, I will return."Hearing Liam's response, Gabriel let out a hearty laugh."Alright, as long as you haven't forgotten ab
Liam was taken aback by Lucy's words. However, before he could react, her voice rang out again."Grandmaster Burrey, let's not just stand at the door. You've come all this way, let's go inside quickly."She turned around and walked into the Hill family mansion first. "I happen to have some matters to report to you..."What Liam did not see was that as soon as Lucy turned around, her face had already turned a deep shade of red with embarrassment.After a moment of confusion, Liam followed Lucy into the mansion.As they passed through the Hill family residence, the servants saw Liam and immediately stopped, bowing their heads in respect. The events that had just transpired were still vividly imprinted in their minds.Before long, Liam and Lucy arrived at the main hall of the mansion. Pushing the door open, they saw Julian already seated there.Seeing Liam enter, Julian quickly stood up with a respectful smile on his face as he exclaimed, "Grandmaster Burrey!"Julian hurriedly app
With Liam's promise, it meant that Julian was not far from the day he could leave the Hill residence.Julian suddenly remembered something as he quickly looked up at Liam. "By the way, Grandmaster Burrey, we found some clues about what you asked us to investigate.""Hmm?" Liam turned his head sharply.Julian explained, lIt's about Misha Ellis. Although I didn't find any direct information about her, I discovered a crucial clue. Many years ago, there was a group of people who tried to find Misha through various channels. Twenty years ago, those searching for her all disappeared overnight in South City!""Twenty years ago?"Liam squinted his eyes. If he remembered correctly, it was 20 years ago that his mother, Misha, went missing.Julian nodded. "Yes, exactly twenty years ago."He then frowned and continued, "However, their identities seem very unusual. To this day, I haven't been able to uncover who they are. I can only roughly confirm that they came from the capital, Juneau."
Recalling everything that had happened earlier, Julian could not help but shake his head."They probably didn't expect things to turn out this way in the end, but after these events, it's actually a good thing."A sly look flashed in Lucy's eyes. "With so many pharmaceutical groups in the northwest being frozen, there's nearly a hundred billion dollars of market shares left behind. I've had my eye on this market for a long time!"She truly was the most outstanding heir of the Hill family in her generation.Lucy only experienced a brief shock before keenly sensing the huge market opening up after the other pharmaceutical companies dealt with Caduceus Pharmaceuticals.In fact, it had not been long before she had already started making detailed plans related to it.Hearing Lucy's words, Julian laughed heartily. "Not bad at all, Lucy! It seems I can really entrust the future of the Hill family to you!"Her performance indeed satisfied Julian greatly.Hearing Julian's compliment, Lu
"Grandmaster Burrey, where are you headed? I'll give you a ride!"Liam shook his head lightly. "I'll just be wandering around. Let's head out first.""Sure thing!"Realizing she could spend more time with Liam, Lucy's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.With that, Lucy started her eye-catching red sports car, driving off with Liam from the Hill family estate.Throughout the ride, Lucy happily chatted with Liam. He responded to her while gazing out the car window at the passing scenery. Over the years, the provincial city had not changed much. However, as Liam looked at the familiar sights, he could not recapture the old feelings they once evoked. Life, perhaps, was not about the scenery, but the person viewing it."Alright. Let's stop here," Liam said suddenly, as if he had seen something.Lucy expertly maneuvered the red Ferrari into a graceful arc and came to a stop. The car, worth millions and driven by a stunning beauty in a red dress, naturally drew the attention of passer
Seeing the confused look on Liam's face, Layla pouted. "Liam, how could you forget where I study?"A hint of embarrassment flashed across Liam's face. "I was just thinking about something else and it slipped my mind for a moment." Seeing Liam's expression, Layla's face lit up with a mischievous smile. "Alright, alright, I can see it wasn't on purpose. I forgive you!"She then hopped aside, revealing the girl standing behind her. "Liam, let me introduce you to my best friend, Wendy Miers!"Wendy, a bit dazed and cute, immediately followed suit upon hearing Layla's words."Hello, Liam… I'm Wendy. I often hear Layla talk about you—""Wendy, what are you saying? I don't talk about my dearest brother-in-law that often at school..."Before Wendy could finish, Layla quickly interrupted her, her face turning red.Wendy, slow to react, finally realized her mistake and hurriedly explained, "Layla doesn't talk about you that often at school...""Alright, alright. It's better if you don'
Wendy lifted her head and smiled at Layla. "Haven't you always said you haven't seen Liam in a while? Now that he's here, you should talk to him more.""I... I didn't say that..."Layla's face turned even redder. Nonetheless, she shuffled over to stand beside Liam.Seeing Layla approach, Liam squinted slightly as he spoke. "Layla, about your friend's health, I think I might have—""Liam, you're worried too, aren't you?"Layla did not catch the meaning behind Liam's words. She sighed deeply and added, "We're all very concerned about her, but according to Wendy, she's been like this for over ten years with no improvement.""Liam, thank you for your concern. I'm actually doing okay," Wendy replied, having overheard their conversation. Wendy lifted her head and gave a smile that was both understanding and heart-wrenching."Back when I was in Juneau, the doctors had already given up on me. However, my parents somehow heard about a miracle doctor in South City with incredible skills
Even though she did not know how Liam met such a wealthy and attractive friend in the provincial capital, Lucy's appearance made Layla feel a great sense of crisis."Layla, what's wrong?" Liam asked when he saw Layla lower her head and sigh."It's nothing..."Layla responded in a muffled voice, keeping her head down as if lost in thought."Liam, the family was talking about Howser a few days ago. I was back on campus then, so I wasn't at home! At that time, I thought that if only I had been home, there wouldn't have been so much resentment in the family!"Layla quickly raised her head and, with some grievance, said, "I've always known that you're very capable, Liam. There must've been some misunderstanding in that matter..."Layla seemed to be trying to explain the family's attitude at the time.Liam saw Layla's expression and smiled. "It's okay, Layla, I understand. You don't need to worry. I don't actually care much about those things..."Layla became anxious upon hearing Lia
