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
Otto's health was truly worrying. His right hand, along with his forearm, was a mess of flesh and blood. His completely limp right arm clearly indicated that his bones were utterly shattered!The medical practitioners could not comprehend what kind of massive impact could have turned Otto's arm into such a state. What was even more perplexing was how Otto, a Master of martial arts, could encounter such a fate. It was well known that Otto practiced the Iron Line Fist—a martial art known for its extreme destructive power and exceptionally resilient physique.Suddenly, the sound of slow footsteps suddenly arose from behind the group of medical practitioners. The instant they heard these footsteps, Otto reacted as though he had heard something terrifying. Ignoring his severe injuries, he desperately tried to retreat. However, due to the extent of his injuries, he could not stand and could only struggle on the ground.The eyes of the medical practitioners reflected a flash of sho
Liam's punch did not just shatter Otto's arm. His inner energy also relentlessly ravaged Otto from within. Although it was not immediately apparent, only Otto knew that the robust physique he had spent over 30 years building was ruined.The meridians inside Otto's body were in shambles. The power of Liam's single punch was evident.Liam shook his head as he looked at Otto's miserable state. However, just as he was about to say something else, Scott's voice suddenly boomed from behind as he rushed out with the Zodiac Twelve following closely behind."Take down this scoundrel for me!"Liam watched the scene unfold. "Oh, right! I almost forgot there were still some of you left to deal with."A cold glint flashed in his eyes. The next moment, with a loud thud, a web-like pattern of cracks suddenly appeared on the flagstones of the Medical Guild's courtyard beneath Liam's feet. Using the rebound force, Liam's figure shot forward, heading straight for Scott.Draco's pupils contra
Draco gritted his teeth, trying to withstand the overwhelming force coming from the front. The other Zodiac Twelve members also felt the immense pressure, turning pale instantly.However, the power from Liam's fists surged like a tidal wave, each wave more earth-shattering than the last. Draco could not hold out any longer, faltering for just a moment.Boom!With a loud crash, the ten Zodiac Guards were instantly sent flying backward.Thud!They hit the ground heavily, their faces contorted in pain, unable to get back on their feet. Just like when facing Otto, Liam completely incapacitated the Zodiac Twelve with one punch.Whether it was Otto or the so-called combined technique of the Zodiac Twelve, Liam's punch shattered all their defenses. The Medical Guild members who had been anxiously observing froze in place, widening their eyes in disbelief.No one could have predicted that outcome. When the Zodiac Twelve completed their formation, the members of the Medical Guild were
Scott retreated in a state of panic, seeking help from anyone he could find. Raaina sighed softly as she watched Liam, stepping forward to stand in front of him."Grandmaster Burrey, it was our mistake this time," Raaina admitted, raising her head to meet Liam's gaze with sincerity."On behalf of our Medical Guild, I apologize. Mister Hansworth has already received the punishment he deserves. I ask you, Grandmaster Burrey, to show us mercy and let us go this once."Liam frowned. "You're pleading on Elder Winston's behalf?"Raaina sighed. "Although he has indeed made many mistakes, our Medical Guild cannot do without a leader."Liam expressed his confusion. "With someone like Scott, who is so consumed by greed, he has long lost the true essence of being a healer, yet you still acknowledge him as the Guild Master? Look at the chaos he has caused within the Medical Guild!"Liam had noticed Raaina's actions earlier and was willing to listen to her reasoning, but he could not comprehe
"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
