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
Liam had once declared that he would take first place in the grand competition. Back then, the members of the Nine Nether Squad thought he was arrogant. Now, when they spoke, their words mirrored his.At this moment, they finally understood. The reason behind Liam's bold claim back then was not arrogance—it was boundless confidence!"Having that kind of confidence is good," Liam nodded approvingly. Then he turned and walked towards his personal tent. "Get familiar with your physical conditions. The competition is just around the corner, and I'll stay at the base for a few more days.""Yes, sir!" The members of the Nine Nether Squad responded loudly.Bluebird, upon hearing that Liam would remain at the base for a few more days, could not help but show a hint of joy on her face.The next few days were fulfilling for Liam. Each day, he guided the members of the Nine Nether Squad, helping them strengthen their skills.With Liam's help, the squad's growth in strength was astonishingly
"Impossible!"The moment that tall figure appeared beside him, Black Wraith's eyes widened in shock, his gaze flashing with utter disbelief."How can you be this fast?"He could not believe it.Liam's speed was beyond anything he had ever imagined!Just a second ago, Liam was still hundreds of meters away, but in the blink of an eye, he was already right beside him.If the aura emanating from Liam earlier had already made Black Wraith's heart tremble, then now… This unimaginable speed made him fully grasp the terrifying implications of Liam's overwhelming presence!All of this… It was completely beyond Black Wraith's comprehension.But in the face of Black Wraith's terrified exclamation, Liam remained silent.His expression was emotionless, his eyes devoid of any fluctuation."I..."This sight plunged Black Wraith into boundless fear.His body trembled as he considered a last-ditch effort to escape!However, the moment he tried to act, he froze. Because Liam was already i
A surging, overwhelming aura erupted from Liam's body, reaching the heavens and shaking the earth!In an instant, under the influence of this intense aura, the once-chaotic cafe seemed as if it were swept by a violent storm. Objects all around trembled incessantly!For the first time, Liam, fueled by anger, fully unleashed his inner energy as his aura surged ever higher!"What…"The moment this scene unfolded, a flicker of shock flashed through the eyes of Bluebird.As someone who had reached the peak of martial arts—a true martial arts Ascendant—Bluebird's progress in martial arts was closely linked to Liam. However, she had broken through a critical barrier and stepped into a new realm!Though she was aware of Liam's extraordinary strength, after stepping into the martial arts Ascendant level, Bluebird never ceased her cultivation. She even believed that the gap between herself and Grandmaster Burrey was steadily narrowing.Yet now, as this scene unfolded before her, Bluebird
At that time, Yaksha casually mentioned that Liam was accompanied by a woman protecting him.When the Monochrome Duo Wraiths heard this, they found it utterly ridiculous.They did not know what kind of man needs a woman to protect him?When Arkem sent the Monochrome Duo Wraiths, he probably had similar thoughts—Liam would be dealt with swiftly!After all, compared to ordinary people, an advanced martial arts Master is already superhuman!But even in their wildest dreams, the Monochrome Duo Wraiths never expected the female bodyguard they underestimated and looked down upon turned out to be a martial arts Ascendant!Yes.A martial arts Ascendant!Only a martial arts Ascendant could effortlessly cleave the front of a massive truck in half with a single slash!When that scene unfolded before their eyes, the Monochrome Duo Wraiths froze on the spot!How many martial arts Ascendants are there in the entire Hestia?Since stepping into the martial arts world, the Monochrome Duo Wr
It was not just the man in white who froze.The man in black also stood there in shock, staring at Liam with an expression full of disbelief!Earlier, after receiving hints from Yaksha that Liam might be extraordinarily skilled, they made some preparations.To avoid a direct confrontation that could cause unnecessary trouble, they decided to use a truck to kill Liam!With the Nosh family's influence in Juneau, killing someone with a truck wouldn ot cause any negative repercussions at all. And a ten-ton truck hitting at full force could completely turn Liam into pulp!But who could have imagined…Despite such a violent collision, Liam was completely unharmed, as if he hadn't been affected in the slightest!Their hearts were filled with astonishment!And at that moment—Buzz—Up ahead, a dazzling flash of light suddenly appeared!A gleam of a blade shot down abruptly from above, slicing through the front of the truck ahead!Boom!!!In an instant, the truck blocking Liam's pa
"My parents said you told them you were taking over South City Bank."Serena sighed.Clearly, she had not taken the statement seriously. Even though she once had her suspicions, she eventually dismissed those thoughts after calming down.After all, the acquisition of United Finance by the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had happened so swiftly that news of it had not yet spread widely. Only some rumors had circulated within certain inner circles in South City.Serena knew nothing of this.To her, Liam's claim about taking over South City Bank sounded utterly ridiculous."So, since your mother already told you my purpose for going to South City Bank, why are you asking me where I got the information from?" Liam raised his head and looked at Serena."You…"Hearing this, Serena froze, her stunning face full of confusion. She couldn't make sense of what Liam was saying."Ah…"Seeing her reaction, Liam sighed lightly. He was about to take out his phone to make a call."I'll let
She looked at Liam, her gaze filled with sincerity.The moment Liam heard what Serena said, he froze.His eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at her.This was the first time Liam had heard Serena apologize!"If it weren't for you this time, I really don't know what would've happened to the Serena Group..."Serena lowered her head, her cold yet stunning face showing a trace of complexity.Seeing this, Liam was taken aback once again.Compared to the Serena of the past, she had changed so much!It was clear that after going through a series of events, Serena had grown a lot. Her attitude had softened significantly."You don't need to thank me for those matters." But quickly, Liam regained his composure and waved it off lightly. "After all, those poisoned patients were innocent. I couldn't bear to see them suffer like that."However, there's a slight error in what you just said."He raised his head to look at Serena."It wasn't the master of the Medicine Guild who treate
"Hmph!"However, Lucy ignored Agustine. With a cold snort, she angrily picked up the approval documents for the White Glycoside Cream and marched out of the room.Seeing this, Agustine hurriedly followed her.In his view, Lucy, the person in charge of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, was perfect in every way, except for her somewhat fiery temper.Meanwhile, Liam had no idea what had happened after he left. But even if he had known, he might have assumed Lucy's reaction was due to her frustration over the promotion of White Glycoside Cream.At the moment, he was already at the airport, boarding a flight back to South City.The next day.Following the address agreed upon with Serena, Liam arrived at a coffee shop in South City.He was quite familiar with this place. This was where he and Serena had met for the first time.On the day Liam was released from prison, Serena had wanted to meet him here, but Hailey had done everything possible to stop it — all in this very coff
Even so, she was still shocked by the news about Matthias."Whether or not we visit doesn't matter."However, faced with an opportunity that most people could only dream of, Liam remained unusually calm. He waved his hand and said, "Doing more beneficial work for the advancement of traditional Hestian medicine is far more important than visiting me!"Liam did not care much about Matthias's visit. For him, he had already witnessed far broader horizons!"In any case, Grandmaster Burrey, thank you this time!"Agustine did not dare respond directly to Liam's words. Instead, he kept bowing his head in gratitude, saying repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you.""No need to thank me." Liam turned to Agustine and said, "If you truly feel indebted, then work closely with Lucy to expedite the production of the White Glycoside Cream.""I'll still have use for the medication once it's launched.""Grandmaster Burrey, rest assured!"Hearing this, Agustine lifted his head and responded earnestly,
"Miss Hill…"Hearing Lucy's words, Agustine froze suddenly. He opened his mouth but couldn't figure out how to respond at that moment.Whether it was Lucy's remarks or the questions raised by Matthias, neither was wrong.It was just that they viewed things from different perspectives.The more it was like this, the more unsure Agustine was about how to persuade them.However, at this moment—"That's enough," Liam's voice sounded. He waved his hand and said calmly, "It's fine if we don't promote it for now. As long as the medicine can go to market, there won't be any problems."Liam maintained a rather composed attitude about all of this. After all, the original purpose of the White Glycoside Cream was simply to treat those few patients with severe skin damage at Golden Cross Hospital.For now, as long as they could obtain the medicine and heal their scars, the White Glycoside Cream would have fulfilled its intended purpose."But Grandmaster Burrey…" Hearing this, Lucy turned he
