Liam's voice hung in the air, his words cutting through the tension.Raaina hesitated for a moment, her expression conflicted before she finally spoke up, "At that time, Scott didn't make such a decision. Besides, some of the medical manuscripts in the Medical Guild had significant issues. We were worried that acting rashly might lead to unintended consequences...""Enough!" Liam interrupted her sharply, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Scott was worried about those flawed manuscripts, so he allowed those in power to seek treatment elsewhere? Utter nonsense! It's a good thing he's dead now!""The ancient art of Hestian medicine has been held back by people like him," Liam muttered, shaking his head in frustration.Then, decisively, he continued, "First, listen to my orders. All healers of the Medical Guild are to descend from the mountains and start treating people immediately!""But... the guild rules state that the Medical Guild must remain hidden from the public eye..." Ra
Liam's promise to organize the ancient medical texts brought a spark of delight to Raaina. Yet, what truly caught her attention was his next statement."My staying here serves no purpose."Upon hearing this, Liam lifted his gaze toward the Medical Guild valley in the distance and nodded. "Without me around, you might be able to work more freely."But, if anything comes up, feel free to reach out to me anytime."He looked directly at Raaina. From the beginning, Liam never had any intention of becoming the leader of the Medical Guild. Even now, the thought of taking on that role seemed like nothing but a troublesome burden.The only reason he gave Raaina those orders was because he could not bear to see the current state of traditional medicine in Hestia. If things continued down this path, not only would ancient Hestian medicine gradually vanish, but it might also become a target for fraudsters, turning it into something despised by the public.For that reason, Liam felt it was ti
Liam stood before the gathered members of the Medical Guild, demonstrating the mysterious and legendary Thirteen Ghost Needles. After showcasing his astonishing abilities, the entire guild fell into a fervor of admiration and worship. However, Liam, in his haste to leave, did not notice any of this.As Liam departed, Raaina turned to face the hundreds of Medical Guild healers. "You all heard the orders from the Guild Master just now," she began, her voice gentle yet filled with authority. "Starting today, our guild will undergo a series of changes!""Once the guild's affairs are settled, I will arrange for the first group of healers to descend the mountain, as instructed by the Guild Master," she continued, her gaze steady."Yes, ma'am!" The unified response echoed through the valley, filled with a passion that had been smoldering within the Medical Guild's healers for centuries. With Liam now leading them, everything had changed.Neither Raina nor Liam could foresee the impact
Liam, had he realized his progress, would have been over the moon. This improvement was not just a mere change in his strength. More importantly, it signified that there was still a path ahead in his martial journey. He could continue to climb higher.However, unfortunately for him, all of this occurred in the deep of night while he was sound asleep, completely unaware.The next few days passed peacefully, allowing Liam to enjoy a rare period of calm. His days were filled with light training, reading, and plenty of rest—a lifestyle he found quite satisfying. The only thing that bothered him was Raaina's daily reports on matters concerning the Medical Guild. It left him somewhat frustrated.Finally, after some strong insistence on his part, Raaina agreed to change the reporting schedule from daily to once every six months.One day, after finishing his morning exercises and returning to Villa No. 3, his phone buzzed. Picking it up, he found three messages waiting for him.The fi
This time, Liam did not leap down from the sky like he did the first time. Instead, he arrived directly at the Nine Nether Squad's base by helicopter. A proper landing spot had been constructed at the location where Gabriel had made an emergency landing earlier. However, due to urgent military duties, Gabriel did not accompany Liam this time.As the helicopter roared to a stop on the ground, Liam pushed open the cabin door and jumped down. The moment he landed, he saw that all the members of the Nine Nether Squad were already gathered near the landing site, waiting for him. It was clear they had been expecting him for some time."Grandmaster Burrey!"Upon seeing Liam disembark, the members of the Nine Nether Squad immediately stood at attention and saluted. Their eyes, once filled with doubt and skepticism, now brimmed with fervor and excitement. Among them, Bluebird's gaze was the most complex.Through subsequent communications, Bluebird had learned that the Heaven's Gate me
Despite their confidence, there was still a hint of unease in their hearts. However, after receiving Liam's reassurance, they were finally able to relax.Once everyone arrived at the base of the Nine Nether Squad, five large vats had already been arranged in the center of the courtyard, following Liam's instructions."Grandmaster Burrey, what do we need to do next?" Chimera asked as he stood before the open space.Bluebird had only mentioned that the members of the Nine Nether Squad would undergo a medicinal bath, but she had never explained the specifics."Extend your hands," Liam instructed calmly.Upon hearing his command, all members of the Nine Nether Squad obediently stretched out their hands. Liam checked their pulses one by one and nodded in satisfaction.Just as he expected, the meridians within their bodies were already unblocked and met his requirements."Go ahead, get in," Liam gestured toward the vats in front of them."Get... in?" The squad members were momentaril
"It might have been impossible before," Liam said as he heard Bluebird's faint voice. He turned to her, speaking seriously, "But now that you can control your inner energy, combined with some help from me, there's an eighty percent chance you can restore your appearance.""Judging by how you looked before, you should be quite beautiful," Liam added, glancing at her. "That scar on your face—what a shame it is to see.""I..." Bluebird was stunned by Liam's words.Due to the scar, Liam had not noticed that Bluebird's face had already flushed red. If it were not for the fact that the members of the Nine Nether Special Forces were unconscious from the medicinal bath, they would have been just as shocked.The Bluebird standing before him, flustered and awkward, was this really the cold and ruthless captain of the Nine Nether Special Forces?"What's wrong? You really want to keep that scar on your face?" Liam asked in confusion.Unfamiliar with her reactions, he had not noticed any of B
"No wonder we were no match for the Special Forces from the other regions!"The members of the Nine Nether squad were filled with joy, constantly sensing the changes in their bodies. "With this newfound strength, even ten of our previous selves wouldn't stand a chance against us now!""Come out."Liam glanced at the Nine Nether squad members who were still soaking in the water tank and gave the command."Yes, sir!" Without hesitation, they all leaped out of the tank in unison.However, due to the sudden surge in strength that they had not fully mastered, they jumped nearly three meters high before stumbling to regain their balance. In the next moment, all the members of the Nine Nether squad lifted their heads abruptly and looked at Liam with intense reverence."Grandmaster Burrey, you've given us a new life!" Their eyes were ablaze with fervor. At this point, the squad's attitude toward Liam had evolved beyond mere respect. If Liam was an all-powerful deity, then the members of
"What...?"As soon as Valerie's voice rang out, the entire villa fell into an abrupt stillness. The Hensworth family members stared wide-eyed, their gazes fixed on Valerie, their expressions full of disbelief!"Valerie... why... why didn't you tell us about this sooner..."Charles stammered, trying to say something."I wanted to, but you never gave me a chance," Valerie said, a look of grievance flashing across her face."What..."Charles's vision darkened, and he staggered back a step!The shock from the message that Liam had sent, announcing the acquisition of Union Finance, had not yet worn off. And now, Valerie's words hit them like a depth charge, exploding violently in their hearts!The intense impact made the Hensworth family members tremble with shock!The charity foundation that caused such a stir in Qyn Province, whose listed medicine had captured the entire Hestian market in just three weeks, making it nearly impossible to obtain, was actually Liam's?The mysteriou
Everything, all of it, made the Hensworth family feel an inexplicable sensation!It seemed like the real reason behind the trouble faced by Union Finance was not the financial crash, but rather some targeted attack!The moment this thought crossed their minds, the Hensworth family members shuddered.The next moment, they suddenly looked up, their eyes filled with horror as they stared at Liam.They were not stupid!If there was any connection to everything happening, there could only be one answer!"Why are you all staring at me?"Feeling the eyes of the Hensworth family members on him, Liam was taken aback and asked, "Didn’t I already tell you about Union Finance’s situation?""Why are you still so shocked?"He looked at them with confusion."Kid..."Hearing Liam’s words, Sebastian's old face went pale, and for a moment, he seemed dazed!After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he stammered, "Union Finance... their situation... you... you..."Under the intense shock, Sebast
"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,
