Serena's beautiful face showed a trace of bewilderment. "Layla, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"Layla held her head high and spoke with conviction. "I might be mistaken, but the people from the Hughes Group were also there. If you don't believe me, you can ask them!"Serena was stunned.She knew her sister's character and knew Layla would not lie. However, that made it even harder for Serena to believe!The incident at Villa No. 3 in the Hush Purple Gardens had already seemed like a fantastical tale to her. However, the latest situation was even more exaggerated than that!What on earth had Liam done to achieve such a transformation quickly after being released from prison?Despite the chaotic thoughts in her mind, despite finding it hard to believe, a voice inside Serena kept telling her that it might indeed be true, not to mention the strange situation where the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation suddenly decided to cooperate with the Lloyd Group after her intervention.
Even Serena herself did not know why she felt the way she did after hearing that Liam was seen with another woman.When Layla saw Serena's reaction, she felt a sense of relief. It was clear her sister had not entirely let go of her brother-in-law!"Serena, I haven't confirmed anything yet, but there's something off about their relationship. That woman is stunning. She's just as beautiful as you, and she drives a red Ferrari, so she's quite wealthy too!"With such a short amount of time spent together, I don't think there's anything going on with them, but if they're together for a longer period, I can't say for sure what might happen next."If you think Liam is still a decent guy, I think you should consider getting back in touch with him! After all, it seems he's not as unambitious or unsuccessful as you thought."Layla looked up and shared her final thoughts. "From what I've observed, Liam might be even more impressive than our family's company!"Serena waved her hand dismissiv
Serena nodded lightly at her sister's words. She reached out and gently patted Layla's head."Alright then. Don't worry too much about things between Liam and me! The most important thing for you right now is to focus on your studies. You rushed back here just to tell me about this?"Layla raised her head, pouting in dissatisfaction. "Serena, isn't this important?"Serena laughed. "Well, I guess it is now! Okay, you've explained everything to me now. Isn't it time for you to go back to campus? Or, are you planning to stay for a few days?"Layla pouted. "I should go back. Although we're on break today, we still have classes tomorrow.""Then, why don't you hurry up and go? Do you need me to arrange for a driver to take you back?"Layla waved her hand and walked to the door. "No need, sis. It's quite convenient for me to get back. You should seriously think about what I told you!"Layla then left the Lloyd home. She had rushed back from the provincial capital to South City just to
With great anticipation, Qassim spoke, "They were amazed by your medical skills and asked me to invite you to the Medical Guild. Do you have the time, Grandmaster Burrey?""When do they want me to come?" Liam asked."If possible, we can set off today," Qassim replied eagerly."Today?"Liam thought for a moment and agreed. "No problem.""Then, Grandmaster Burrey, please give us your address, and we'll come to pick you up right away!"Qassim's voice was filled with excitement upon hearing Liam's agreement. Shortly after, Liam provided his location to Qassim.Before long, a luxurious Maybach arrived at Villa No. 3 in the Hush Purple Gardens to pick Liam up.In the car, Qassim enthusiastically described the situation upon his return to the Medical Guild."You wouldn't believe it, Grandmaster Burrey! When I returned and shared what happened at Mister Ulrick's house with the disciples, they were in disbelief!"We always thought the Medical Guild was the sole custodian of the last t
"Grandmaster Burrey, have you seen these medicinal herbs?"It seemed that Liam had caught the attention of Qassim with his gaze, the latter then smiling at him."Due to the current environmental conditions, some herbs are no longer suitable for growth. We've put in a lot of effort to cultivate them, but you haven't seen the most precious herbs. There is a special field dedicated to those herbs."Qassim seemed genuinely eager for Liam to understand the ways of the Medical Guild, so he patiently explained."The growth of the herbs is quite impressive."Liam could tell that the ancient Hestian medicine traditions of the Medical Guild were not entirely lost as some of the cultivation methods clearly originated from ancient practices.While they spoke, the pair reached the midway point of the mountain. They stood outside a grand building with a plaque that read 'Healing Hall'.Qassim said respectfully, "Grandmaster Burrey, I've already communicated with the acting head and a few elde
Hearing Qassim's words, the man standing in the middle frowned and asked, "Are you the so-called Grandmaster Burrey?"Liam nodded slightly, his voice calm. "I'm Liam Burrey. And you are?""I am Scott Winston, the acting leader of the Medical Guild in this generation."Confirming Liam's identity, the sullen elder let out a cold laugh. He raised his head, answering with arrogance."Grandmaster Burrey, although I'm just the acting leader, in reality, Mister Winston is the leader of this generation in the Medical Guild. Due to some special reasons, the guild hasn't had a true guild master for quite some time..."Qassim whispered an explanation from the side, "The one standing on the left is the Medical Guild's First Elder—Otto Hansworth. They're all very skilled in medicine, but maybe because they've spent too long in the guild, their personalities are a bit odd.Qassim pointed to the stunning woman standing at the back. "In the Medical Guild, the Second Elder, Raaina Gunter, has the
In the past, Liam had no understanding of martial arts. It was only after discussing with Howser that he gained some insight.To be able to sit like Otto and effortlessly throw silver needles into a wooden acupuncture model, at the very least, one needed to be a master with inner energy.Moreover, when Otto had flicked his hand, Liam sensed a faint ripple. He was certain that Otto was a martial arts Master capable of projecting his inner energy outward!With that discovery, Liam narrowed his eyes and began to scrutinize the three people in the hall. On closer inspection, he realized that besides Raaina, both Otto and Scott, the head of the Medical Guild, were martial arts Masters.The depth of the Medical Guild was indeed remarkable.Noticing Liam standing still without speaking, Otto showed a hint of disdain as he sneered, "Qassim, when you're outside, don't trust these young people with unknown backgrounds. Getting worked up over a simple trick—what skills could he possibly ha
Otto turned toward Liam, smirking coldly. "You're really wasting your time on him..."Just as he was about to speak further, a man in a long robe hurried into the Healing Hall and interrupted, "Guild Master, that villager from the mountain is back again."He approached Scott and whispered, "Isn't this ever going to end?"Upon hearing the man's words, Scott frowned impatiently. "Didn't I already tell him this? His daughter can't be saved! Why is he back again? What is it with these poor villagers from the mountain?"With a stern expression, Scott stepped out of the Healing Hall. Otto followed suit.Only Raaina showed a conflicted expression on her face, sighing as she also headed out of the Healing Hall.As for Liam, he was completely ignored.Liam did not mind that the members of the Medical Guild did not pay attention to him. However, he was quite curious about what was happening.Liam turned to Qassim and asked, "What's going on?"Qassim hesitated before he gave his explanat
"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
