Liam narrowed his eyes slightly as he calmly asked, "Is your commitment to saving lives limited to the wealthy, ignoring the poor?"Scott shook his head. "Grandmaster Burrey, I don't agree with your statement. In our medical community, we have never ignored the poor to only treat the wealthy. Even when Naomi's condition deteriorated, we didn't abandon her. Miss Gunter stepped in to help."Scott continued, as if it was self-evident. "However, human energy is limited, and naturally, we can only care for a finite number of patients. In contrast, Grandmaster Burrey, you've just saved one little girl, yet you speak with such righteous indignation."Scott frowned at Liam, feeling a growing aversion to his repeated criticisms."I've never lost the heart of a healer," Liam replied calmly, raising his head."You..."Otto was momentarily stunned, taken aback by Liam's overt disdain and sarcasm.Scott's eyes glinted with coldness as he listened to Liam. "Grandmaster Burrey, since you've ma
The inheritance of medical arts was an incredibly secretive matter.Scott and Otto proposed that Liam hand over all the medical texts he knew to the Medical Guild.To Raaina, it was nothing short of blatant robbery. She could not understand how Scott and Otto could demand such a thing right after Liam had saved Naomi's life!Scott turned his head, looking at her with a shameless smile. "Miss Raaina, don't you think this is a noble cause?"Raaina hesitated before speaking. "Elder Winston, asking Grandmaster Burrey to hand over so many medical texts all at once might be inappropriate! After all, some medical techniques have always been passed down to only one disciple..."Scott's eyes flashed with displeasure as he waved his hand dismissively. "Inappropriate? What's inappropriate about it? At a time like this, you're still talking about single-line inheritance. Look, I even let Grandmaster Burrey freely browse through the texts of our Healing Hall, didn't I?"Otto nodded with a smi
The moment Liam spoke, Scott's eyes widened. His gloomy face flashed with anger."Young man, who gave you the courage to speak to us this way? Don't think that just because you're skilled in medicine, you can do whatever you want here!"Seeing Scott finally drop his facade and reveal his true self, Liam could not help but smile."I have no intention of doing whatever I want. Instead, you were the ones who demanded that I reveal all my medical knowledge to you. Isn't that the real arrogance here?"With the confrontation out in the open, Otto's expression also turned grim."We consider it a privilege for you to leave your medical texts with us. Otherwise, do you think a mere youngster like you is qualified to sit at the table with us? Let me tell you, you'd better behave yourself, or else you'll regret it!"Liam's face showed a hint of amusement. "As I said, I can't hand over my medical texts to a couple of unworthy individuals. So, what do you plan to do about it?"In the next mo
Scott had already decided to keep Liam in the Medical Guild.The Zodiac Twelve—the guild's guardians—were composed of members with extraordinary martial arts skills. Some of them even specialized in firearms!Even in her wildest dreams, Raaina never imagined that Scott would deploy the Zodiac Twelve against Liam."Grandmaster Burrey..."Faced with this scene, Qassim's expression turned into one of utter panic. He never thought that Scott and Otto would be so vile!Regret filled Qassim's heart. He truly should not have invited Liam to the Medical Guild!However, as he watched everything unfold before him, Liam's gaze remained calm as he shook his head."When I first came to the Medical Guild, I thought it was as Qassim described—a paradise created to protect the ancient Hestian medicine. Now, it's clear that the guild has long lost its essence, or perhaps because of people like you two, who have no heart of a healer and aren't worthy of being called human, that the guild has beco
The moment Liam's words echoed, Scott's eyes suddenly hardened."It was you!"At that time, Scott and Otto had met the influential Julian during an opportunity to go down the mountain. They discovered the immense influence of the Hill family throughout the Qyn Province and even the northwest region.Thus, after returning to the mountain, the two began devising a series of plans targeting the Hill family, aiming to seize their enormous wealth.With meticulous preparation, Scott used an unexpected incident to poison Julian. Initially, they only needed to wait for Julian to die from the poison, and their organization could, through pre-arranged plans, seize control of the Hill family amid the ensuing chaos in just a few days.However, unexpectedly, when everything was ready and all that was left was for Julian to pass away, Scott never received news of the poison taking effect. That situation made Scott increasingly anxious.He sent Triboar and Serpentine to gather information, but
Scott ignored Raaina as he coldly looked at Otto."That little brat can handle Triboar and the Serpentine, so he must know some martial arts. When you make your move, be careful. The most important thing is to leave that brat alive. What's in his head is crucial to the Medical Guild!""Don't worry, Elder Winston!" Otto responded with a sinister grin.The next moment, there was a thunderous boom.Otto's body seemed to swell like a cannonball, hurtling toward Liam!At the same time, the Zodiac Twelve Warriors, led by Draco, vanished in a flash. Though they thought the young man before them could not possibly be a match, each member of the Zodiac Warriors was seasoned. They would not underestimate any opponent.Thus, they went all out from the start, though they followed Scott's orders to spare his life.Raaina shouted at Liam, seeing the situation spiral beyond control."Grandmaster Burrey! Run! Quickly! Mister Hansworth is a martial arts Master! You're no match for them! Get out
In the Medical Guild, there was more than just medical skills to be learned.Otto had learned much more than medicine in the Medical Guild. Even in ancient medical texts, it was recorded that only by mastering one's own body could one better understand it and heal others.When Otto joined the Medical Guild at the age of 13, he began studying both medicine and martial arts.His talent was indeed exceptional. Not only did his medical skills continuously improve, but he also achieved significant success in martial arts.Before long, Otto reached the threshold of external energy release, becoming a grandmaster in martial arts. With the help of the rare treasures hidden within the Medical Guild, Otto quickly achieved a breakthrough and became a martial arts Master. In fact, Otto's achievements in martial arts far exceeded his medical skills. Not to mention, Otto had mastered the Iron Line Fist—a technique known for its sheer strength.Upon achieving his breakthrough, Otto clearly fel
Otto noticed a mocking smile flicker across the corner of Liam's lips."You dare to act so boldly in my presence?"As Liam's disdainful voice echoed, he suddenly shifted his body using his waist as an axis and launched a punch straight at Otto.Boom!The clash of their fists resounded with a deafening crash, shaking the entire Healing Hall. The ancient books on the shelves trembled, almost falling to the ground."What on earth?"The sudden change left everyone in the Healing Hall wide-eyed with shock, giving them no time to react.Raaina saw a tall figure fly straight toward the entrance of the Healing Hall.Crash!Another thunderous noise erupted as the tall figure smashed through the solid wooden door several meters high, continuing to soar outside.Thud!The figure finally landed heavily in the center of the courtyard."What?"The sight left Raaina and Qassim frozen in place. They looked nervously toward the center of the hall and saw Liam there, standing proudly.With
"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
