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
They were all eager to see the instructor who had changed their lives, hoping he would make a name for himself across the military! But who could have guessed?Liam unexpectedly told them that he was not planning to attend the competition in person."I trust in your abilities," he said with a smile as he listened to the voices of the Special Forces members. "But since the outcome of the competition is almost certain, I don't see the need for me to be there.""And besides, I have some matters to attend to, so I can't make it," he continued. "I've already spoken with Gabriel, and I'll be keeping a close eye on your performance in the competition.""Alright then..." Seeing Liam's firm stance, the members of the Special Forces had no choice but to accept it."Grandmaster Burrey, wait for our good news!" Bluebird looked up at Liam and spoke earnestly."No problem!" Liam nodded."Also..." Bluebird suddenly remembered something. She looked at Liam and opened her mouth to speak."Don't
"The real star of this press conference isn't even the Bellflower Drug, it should be you."Lucy chuckled softly, covering her mouth as she spoke, "As the president of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, you can't miss this event!""Once you make your appearance at this press conference, the entire Northwest will know about you—a young, wealthy bachelor worth a fortune."Liam could not help but smile at Lucy's words. He shook his head and replied, "Don't worry, I'll make it back in time.""With your word, Grandmaster Burrey, I'm relieved."Lucy squinted her eyes and smiled. "Then I'll be waiting for your grand arrival!"Meanwhile, as Liam was on the phone with Lucy, the Lloyd family was buzzing with activity."What should I wear for such an important occasion tomorrow?"Hailey, as if she were a spinning top, paced around the Lloyd family's home. And she was not the only one. Other members of the Lloyd family were also nervously picking out their outfits.As partners of the
Liam seemed to be waiting for a particular young lady to catch his eye at the press conference.However, no matter how good a white suit looked, it appeared entirely out of place on Etchen, whose pale complexion and sleazy demeanor clashed with the elegance of the attire."Your mom is right! What are you two standing there for? Hurry up and get ready!"Upon hearing Hailey's words, even Sam, who rarely interacted with Serena, turned around and urged them on.He had already called Felix back for this press conference. The Lloyd family had received the invitation to the new drug launch and had been preparing for the event for quite some time—everyone in the family was mobilized.However, even after hearing the words from Hailey and Sam, Serena and Layla still seemed distracted. Unlike the rest of the Lloyd family, Serena and Layla understood what this press conference could potentially signify.Afterward, Serena told Layla what had happened when she went to Vientiane Bay to sign the
Serena, who was currently responsible for a collaboration project with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, could not do much more at the moment.Hailey, though annoyed, did not dare to push further. After casting a frustrated glance at Liam's retreating figure as he headed upstairs, she turned around and hurriedly resumed tidying up. She had been so caught up in talking with him that she hadn't even started preparing her outfit for the new drug launch event.While the house was in a state of chaos, the Nine Nether Squad's base was calm and quiet. Ever since the team had left to participate in the Special Forces Competition, the base had fallen silent.With Liam staying behind, only a few soldiers remained to handle his related duties. Apart from that, there was no one else around.Liam, however, found solace in this long-awaited peace. During his final training session with the Nine Nether Squad, he had noticed something unusual within himself—his inner energy, which had remain
Seeing this scene, Gabriel's heart sank even deeper!From his perspective, it seemed that Grandmaster Burrey still didn’t realize how urgent the situation had become.Recalling what happened earlier—Grandmaster Burrey’s confident demeanor, believing that he could handle the matter through the Bastion Squad—brought a bitter look to Gabriel's face.Even if Grandmaster Burrey truly had a way to resolve the Bluebird dispute through the Bastion Squad, it was probably too late by now.Seeing this scene, Matthew frowned slightly. He turned his head, following Gabriel's gaze, and looked backward.Ever since Gabriel had taken his seat at the main table, he had been glancing back occasionally, even during such a tense moment.Matthew could not figure out what was behind them that could make Gabriel so concerned.Noticing Matthew's actions, Gabriel's expression changed.He realized he was already losing his composure and might even expose Grandmaster Burrey."We will definitely follow
"There really aren't any clues…"Hearing Matthew's words, Gabriel exhaled softly.He turned his head, his voice steady and emotionless as he responded, "You also know that as the captain of the Nine Nether Squad, Bluebird's strength was extraordinary."If Bluebird really isn't dead and can even take on the entire Bastion Squad alone, then finding her won't be easy at all."Gabriel tried hard to downplay the matter concerning Bluebird.He appeared calm, but in reality, Matthew's words had already brought him a great sense of urgency."But…"Matthew narrowed his eyes, staring at Gabriel. "Back then, it was you, Old Warren, who reported Bluebird's death to the military. Weren't you certain when you did that?""Of course I was," Gabriel nodded, replying earnestly."That's why I was so surprised when I heard you say that Bluebird might not be dead, because it's just impossible…"However, before he could finish, Matthew interrupted him."If that's the case…"Matthew revealed a sl
However, anyone who can become a commander of the military district is no simple character.When Gabriel took the stage, the cold expression on Matthew's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a cheerful smile."Old Warren, you finally made it!" He stood up and said with a laugh, "We've been waiting for ages!""It's not my fault. The Special Ops Instructor Exchange was suddenly moved up, and I almost wasn't prepared," Gabriel grumbled, throwing a glare at Matthew.Then, he was about to take a seat.But just as Gabriel was about to bend down, he suddenly paused and stopped in his tracks.He subtly turned his head to glance at Liam, who was standing behind him.With Grandmaster Burrey present, how could he dare sit in the main seat?"Go ahead and sit."Before Gabriel could say anything, Liam's calm voice rang out. He gently placed a hand on Gabriel's shoulder.Although it seemed light, Gabriel could feel an irresistible force emanating from Grandmaster Burrey's hand, causing h
However, before Gabriel could say anything else, he saw Grandmaster Burrey ahead turn his head and glance at Bluebird.The moment Liam's gaze was noticed, Bluebird's figure flickered and vanished instantly."What the…"Seeing this, Gabriel's body trembled, instantly freezing in place.If the first time Bluebird appeared behind him without a sound was because he had let his guard down and hadn't paid attention, then now, Bluebird had vanished right under his nose!In fact, Gabriel could not even see how the situation just unfolded!This scene left him completely stunned!What on earth was going on?Ever since the martial competition with the special ops squad, after Bluebird was saved by Grandmaster Burrey, not only did the scars on his face disappear without a trace, but even his strength had become so unbelievably powerful?For a moment, Gabriel was filled with shock!"What's wrong?"However, Liam did not pay attention to Gabriel's odd behavior. When he noticed Gabriel stan
Gabriel laughed.He knew better than anyone how much Grandmaster Burrey disliked trouble.That's why he had not even considered informing Liam about the upcoming All-Army Special Forces Instructor Exchange Conference."But..."At that moment, a thought seemed to cross his mind.He suddenly paused, a complex look flashing in his eyes."I really didn't expect that the existence of martial artists in the Hestia military could be kept from me for so long..."It was evident.After the members of the Nine Nether Squad stepped into the martial path, it was impossible to keep it hidden any longer. As a result, Gabriel finally learned about the martial arts world.And the more he understood, the more dissatisfied he felt.In fact, there was even a hint of worry in his heart.To keep such a secret from the entire Central Military Region for so many years—even allowing them to suffer humiliation during the Special Forces competition without revealing a single word about martial artist
Gabriel clearly wanted to say something more.But when he saw Liam turn his head and glance at him calmly, he froze instantly and quickly shut his mouth.Gabriel did not dare to continue arguing with Grandmaster Burrey.Even though he stopped speaking, his thoughts remained unchanged.The matter regarding the Bastion Squad was definitely not that simple.Moreover, Grandmaster Burrey was seeing things too simply, but Gabriel did not mind.After all, from the beginning, he had not expected to find a real solution to the problem from Grandmaster Burrey.After all, Grandmaster Burrey was not part of the military, so it was natural that his suggestions were impractical.Just being able to learn from Grandmaster Burrey that Bluebird was still alive was already a gain.As for bringing Bluebird back or dealing with him, Gabriel had not even considered it!The moment he realized that Bluebird had chosen to follow Liam, he decided not to ask a single question more about it.In fact, h
He looked at Gabriel and responded calmly."Well..."Hearing this, Gabriel was suddenly stunned.The next moment, a bitter smile flashed across his face."That's true, but Grandmaster Burrey..." Gabriel sighed helplessly. "The problem really isn't that simple. The method you mentioned—I've actually considered it too."But no one knows where the Bastion Squad is now. Since they raised this issue with the Hestia military, it clearly means the problem hasn't been resolved, and they definitely won't show up."I also heard that the captain of the Bastion Squad, Benedict, seems to have passed away due to some issues related to Bluebird."With all these factors, even if we go through a lot of trouble to find the members of the Bastion Squad, they might not cooperate with us."Not to mention, we don't even have any leads on them."At this moment, he finally understood why Grandmaster Burrey seemed so indifferent.The method Grandmaster Burrey proposed was indeed good, but to actually
"I'm afraid they also want to come to the Central Military Region to get detailed information about the situation."A trace of concern flashed across Gabriel's face.Events involving the entire army were always grand, and the preparations had to be thorough.However, the sudden advancement of the instructor exchange meeting would definitely disrupt many of his original plans.Most importantly— All of this also involved Bluebird.Gabriel initially did not know the specific situation. Now, seeing that Bluebird was indeed still alive made things even more complicated for him.The incident happened suddenly, and the preparations were insufficient. For a moment, Gabriel didn't know how to continue covering up the matter about Bluebird.After all—The news of Bluebird's death directly led to the Western Military Region being penalized, and even the Bastion Squad was expelled from the army!If Bluebird was not dead, and such a huge misunderstanding had occurred, the other war zones
Is all of this real or fake?"Commander Warren."Bluebird looked at Gabriel, his voice cold and calm, and nodded slightly.Compared to before, Bluebird's attitude towards Gabriel had noticeably changed.If, in the past, Bluebird's attitude towards Gabriel was like that of a subordinate to a superior in the military, then now, although she still showed respect, that sense of duty-bound obedience was gone.Because Bluebird knew very well who she was serving now!"You're really not dead..."Hearing Bluebird's admission, a flash of utter shock crossed Gabriel's eyes.In the next moment."Grand... Grandmaster Burrey..."His eyes trembled as he looked at Liam, his voice so dry due to the shock that it came out strained.Gabriel was well aware of how severe Bluebird's injuries were at that time.It could be said that everyone present had basically declared Bluebird's death.When they returned to the temporary base of the Nine Nether Squad, it was merely to fulfill Bluebird's last
