The waiter hurriedly turned and left the private room after placing the dishes on the table.

Sitting beside them, Jackson boasted proudly, his mouth stuffed with food, "How is it? The food here is really delicious, isn't it?"

Layla rolled her eyes at Jackson. "It's really good! Look at you, you're getting rounder and rounder!"

"Of course—"

Just as Jackson was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang. Not just him, but Iman Hughes's phone also rang abruptly.

Hearing the sound, Jackson glanced at his phone and was momentarily stunned. "What's going on? Why is my dad calling me at this time?"

He struggled to swallow the food in his mouth and answered the phone.

"Are you at the Velvet Lounge?"

Before Jackson could speak, his father's nervous and trembling voice came through the phone.

"I..."

Jackson was stunned. He did not expect his father, Spencer Hughes, the chairman of Hughes Group, to catch him sneaking to the Velvet Lounge!

"Dad, you're always so wise and mighty..."

    Iman sat at the back, his face equally filled with anxiety. "How could this happen!"Upon hearing Jackson's words, Layla finally realized the gravity of the situation.Jackson lost any desire to eat. He stood up, anxiously pacing back and forth."I have no idea! Everything started when we arrived, but we didn't do anything unusual!"Jackson knew his father's character well. His father was calm even when facing a collapsing mountain, so what could have happened to make his father panic like that?The more he thought about it, the more it made Jackson nervous.He was not sure if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to hear a series of frantic noises coming from outside their private room.Jackson's anxiety affected everyone else in the room.Layla also grew tense but still tried to comfort him. "Don't worry. I'm sure it's nothing!"Jackson could not sit still. "Something must've happened! Otherwise, my dad wouldn't be so worried!"Due to Spencer's orders, he did not dare

    A vast crowd appeared in front of Jackson and his group.Spencer kept his head down, his face tense, clearly standing aside as a companion. Seeing the scene, Jackson's face also flashed with tension. He did not understand why his father was acting that way.However, when Jackson saw the middle-aged man at the center of the crowd, he immediately had an answer.Jackson was shocked. "Mister Warchester!"Layla was stunned. "Mister Warchester?"She did not quite understand who Jackson was referring to.Iman, standing beside Layla, suddenly shivered. He clenched both hands tightly together, and his voice was full of tremors."Mister Warchester is the Ship King of Hestia—Joshua Warchester!""The Warchester family dominates half of Hestia's maritime shipbuilding industry. The Hughes Group's logistics often relies on the Warchester family, and the Velvet Lounge is their property!"Iman and Jackson finally understood why they were so anxious and fearful. It was related to Joshua.How

    After being reprimanded by Liam, Joshua's face did not show any dissatisfaction but instead flashed with a hint of surprise.A bright smile appeared on his face. "Grandmaster Burrey! You are really here! When I heard the report from the staff here, I couldn't believe it, but it turns out you really came to the Velvet Lounge!"Liam was taken aback. "So, you rushed over just to find me?"Joshua nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, exactly! From South City to the provincial capital, we have been looking for you for a long time, but we could never confirm your whereabouts. When I heard our staff report that they encountered someone resembling you, I came over immediately!"Hearing Joshua's words, Liam frowned. He had not expected it. The chaos caused for Jackson, Iman, and even Layla was actually because of Liam."Come in first," he said, lifting his head to look at the large group of people standing at the private room door.Liam shook his head and added, "It's not good for so many

    Through the information just revealed by Joshua, it became clear that the event that caused a sensation in the Qyn Province, where the gate of the Warchester family was torn down and the Warchester family dared not repair it, was also the doing of Liam!Jackson's throat felt incredibly dry. He turned his head slowly, looking at Layla in a daze. "Layla... W-who exactly is your brother-in-law?"At that moment, anyone who mentioned Liam as the infamous worthless son-in-law of the Lloyd family in the Qyn Province would probably incite Jackson to fight them on the spot.Could a worthless person, capable of making the head of the Warchester family act that way, really do such things? Recalling when they asked Liam what he had been up to recently, and he had casually mentioned he was just handling some minor matters, Jackson could only muster a bitter smile.What kind of minor matters could make the head of the Warchester family so fearful and eager to apologize? He even kindly offered

    Spencer was the one most bewildered in the private room. He was the person who had absolutely no idea what was going on.Spencer still did not understand what all of that was about.When he first received a call from the Warchester family, he was already on his way to the airport. When the Warchester family mentioned the Hughes Group dining at the Velvet Lounge, Spencer's heart suddenly skipped a beat. He knew that it had to be related to his son.However, the Warchester family's attitude on the phone was extremely tense and urgent. The moment he hung up, Spencer frantically started trying to contact Jackson. At the same time, he turned his car around and went straight to the Velvet Lounge.Spencer thought his son had gotten into some trouble, but who would have thought that upon arriving at the Velvet Lounge, he would find out the situation was nothing like he had imagined?It turned out that the Warchester family, who held the logistics lifeline of their Hughes Group, was lookin

    Jackson turned her head, his eyes trembling as he looked at Layla. "With such a son-in-law, if you don't cherish him, why does your family keep saying all sorts of nonsense?"Layla was confused. "I don't know either!"Her parents complained every day at home that her brother-in-law was incompetent. Where was there any sign of incompetence in Liam at that moment?The way the Warchester family treated him was enough to make the entire Lloyd Group tremble. Despite the Warchester family's attitude, Liam had never mentioned that anyone from the Warchester family was his friend.The owner of Villa No. 3 in the Hush Purple Gardens... Layla thought of something, and a look of shock flashed across her delicate face again.Then, Layla's face showed a trace of urgency.She was absolutely certain of one thing. No matter how outstanding her sister was, the one person she should never have missed was Liam. No matter what, she had to tell Serena everything that had happened!In the private roo

    Liam had observed every move and decision made by Jackson earlier. He felt that the responsible young boy deserved a reward."You've really done a great job, kid!"Liam's words reached Spencer's ears. He turned to look at Jackson, revealing a joyful smile.Since everything was clear, he finally relaxed. However, what Spencer had not expected was that his troublemaking son could bring such a pleasant surprise."Liam..."Jackson was stunned by everything happening in front of him. Although he had not graduated from college yet, he knew well what the 30 percent fee reduction mentioned by Joshua meant.For a moment, he did not know how to express his inner joy."I see you all seem to like our subsidiary, the Velvet Lounge," Joshua said.Following Liam's lead, he looked at Jackson and added, "From now on, the Warchester family's Velvet Lounge is always open to you. You're always welcome!"Spencer's face lit up with excitement at Joshua's words. "Mister Warchester, we really appreci

    Jackson turned to Liam, flashing an awkward smile. "Liam, I hope you didn't take my earlier suggestion about finding you a job too seriously..."It was only after everything they had been through that he realized just how absurd his proposal was.Liam did not seem to mind at all and even smiled. "I actually thought your suggestion was quite good."Jackson waved his hands repeatedly. "Enough, Liam. Please don't say more..."At that moment, a slightly trembling voice rang out from Layla, "Liam, when did you become so incredible? How come I never knew?""Incredible, really?"Liam was taken aback by Layla's words. He never considered any of his actions to be extraordinary.Layla's eyes widened even more. "Isn't this incredible enough? That was the Ship King of Hestia, Joshua Warchester! He treated you with such respect, isn't that amazing enough? Have you ever told my sister about all this?"Layla stared at Liam with bright, unblinking eyes.Liam shook his head. "I've mentioned it

    If all of this is really true, doesn't that mean this man is really the president of the Fowler Society?Sophia's mind was a mess.At that moment…"Aunt Sophia, let's head back first."Liam's voice sounded. He looked at Sophia and gave a faint smile. "You don't need to worry about the rest. From now on, no one will bother you again.""When we come back, I think your shop should be restored to its original state."As he spoke, Liam turned and glanced at Nathaniel beside them."Y-Yes…"Upon hearing this, Nathaniel's body trembled, and he quickly lowered his head again.He understood the implied meaning in Liam's words.However, Sophia, who was still in shock and confusion, didn't register Liam's words at all."We have to leave quickly!"She nodded urgently. "If the police show up later, we'll be in big trouble!"Sophia was still uneasy about the current situation."Ha…"Hearing this, Liam could not help but laugh.Sophia's reaction was rather cute, but he knew well that for

    "Hahaha…"Upon hearing this, Liam paused, then let out a helpless laugh. "He's the president of the Fowler Society, Nathaniel, the one you mentioned.""What?"Sophia was suddenly stunned.She widened her eyes and stared fixedly at Nathaniel, her gaze filled with suspicion. "He can be the president of the Fowler Society? Liam, don't lie to me!""I'm not lying to you…"Liam chuckled bitterly and shook his head.He turned to look at Nathaniel and sighed softly. "Did you see that? Lately, you've really been disappointing me.""Grandmaster Burrey!"Hearing this, Nathaniel trembled violently. A look of extreme fear flashed in his eyes. "I'm truly sorry! The issue with someone daring to impersonate a Fowler Society member, it's my fault!"Rest assured, from now on, I'll never let something like this happen again!"He suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed on the group of people lying on the ground ahead, including Mister Leonidas, wishing he could tear them apart with his bare hand

    "What's the relationship between Bluebird and Serena?"Upon hearing Sophia's words, Liam froze for a moment, a look of confusion flashing across his eyes."I…"At the mention, Sophia froze even more abruptly.Right now, she could confirm that the current situation didn't seem to have anything to do with Serena.But the next moment, Sophia looked ahead, at the desolate scene, her body shuddered, and she suddenly snapped back to reality."Liam, listen to me, let's leave quickly!"She raised her head to look at Liam, her voice slightly tense as she spoke, "I know now how capable you are, but listen to me, we'd better leave first!"They're from the Fowler Society, and the forces behind them are far from simple. We really can't afford to mess with them. When I called the police back then, no one cared!"Sophia's face showed panic. "You've hurt so many of them, the Fowler Society won't just let this go!""I…"Upon hearing this, Liam paused.And at that moment..."Grandmaster Bur

    A graceful figure suddenly appeared before him.Then, in the next instant, a piercing cold gleam suddenly erupted!Clang!The steel rod in Mister Leonidas's hand dropped to the ground with a crisp sound.He froze for a moment, looking down in confusion.Then, Mister Leonidas saw his own bare arm!In the next moment, he let out a horrific, agonizing scream!It was not just him.Ahh—!Behind him, all the men who had been holding rods and preparing to chase after Liam and Sophia trembled, letting out wails of unbearable pain!Because just at that moment, the palms holding their rods had been sliced off by a single slash!Bluebird stood nearby, holding a dagger, her expression indifferent, her eyes devoid of any emotion.It was a rare honor for Mister Leonidas and his men to provoke a martial arts Ascendant into action!"Quick... run..."Sophia's words were frozen in midair.She stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what she was seeing, her face filled with shock.Sophia had

    "What do you think you are!"Hearing Liam's voice, the man known as Mister Leonidas turned his head, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam as he looked at Liam. "Do you think you have a say here?""Liam…"A trace of anxiety flashed across Sophia's face. She tugged at Liam's sleeve, signaling for him to stay quiet.When she saw Mister Leonidas and the others appear earlier, Sophia had been worried that Liam, being impulsive, might do something reckless!After all, young people sometimes can't control their tempers, and that's normal.She recalled how, when Mister Leonidas and his gang first demanded protection money, she had absolutely refused to pay!In the end, this had led to the current tragic situation.Sophia did not want Liam to be dragged into all this trouble."No wonder you dared to come back," Mister Leonidas sneered as he looked at the scene before him. "So you brought some backup!""But…" He looked Liam up and down, then mockingly spoke, "This so-called backup of yo

    "This is the place…"Standing at the entrance of the shop, Sophia's expression darkened."Who gave them the guts..."Looking at the devastated butcher shop ahead, a flash of anger suddenly flickered in Liam's eyes!It was clear.For her butcher shop, Sophia had put in a lot of effort. Not only was the decoration quite delicate, but even the walls had a cartoonish image of Sophia smiling broadly!Just looking at the shop's decor, one could tell how happy and excited Sophia was during the preparation stage.But all of it had already been shattered to pieces before it even began!"Let's just leave after we're done…"Sophia's voice sounded heavy.She had turned her head, not wanting to see the heartbreaking scene inside the butcher shop."Aunt Sophia, don't be sad. I'll pay to help you redo the shop…"Noticing Sophia's sadness, Liam turned around and gave a small smile, trying to comfort her.However, just then, a harsh voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Liam's words."Did

    "Fowler Society?"Upon hearing Sophia's words, Liam was momentarily stunned."That's right."Sophia sighed deeply, looked up, and weakly glanced at Liam. "Child, you probably haven't heard of this organization.""We ordinary people are like this. Before this, I didn't even know there was a Fowler Society in our South City…"A bitter smile flashed across her face. "But after finding out, I realized the Fowler Society is actually the biggest underground force in South City!"We ordinary people are no match for them. If I had known this, I would've just paid the management fee to them. What would it have cost me…"Sophia was full of regret.Under the intense pressure of the so-called Fowler Society members, she dared not feel any anger. She only regretted paying the management fee, as that would have prevented the current situation!However, the more Liam listened to Sophia, the more he furrowed his brows."They actually dare to do such things?"His face darkened as he pulled o

    "No, no! What could be wrong with me!"Hearing this, Sophia shook her head.Despite saying this, her tall and strong frame, which usually radiated enthusiasm, now seemed exhausted to the point where she barely had the strength to speak. How could she possibly be fine?"Aunt Sophia, you've always told me we're like family."Liam shook his head and blocked Sophia's path as she tried to leave. "If you don't tell me, it means you don't consider me one of your own!""I…"Upon hearing this, a bitter smile flashed across Sophia's face. She sighed heavily before speaking.Sophia's meat-selling business had always been quite successful. But despite her seemingly carefree personality, Sophia harbored a dream of her own. She did not want to continue running a meat stall. She wanted to open a butcher shop!And she had worked hard all this time to make that dream come true.Finally, after saving enough money, Sophia was able to pursue her dream. She spent money and secured a shop nearby.
