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
For a moment, White Wraith was deeply worried about the future of the Nosh family.However, no matter what his thoughts were at this moment, as soon as he spoke the name of the Nosh family, their fate had already been sealed."Heh..."Seeing White Wraith's reaction, Liam immediately realized. It seemed that the so-called Nosh family from Juneau did not yet know about his connection with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation. Sending someone to kill him was likely just the first step from the Nosh family of Juneau."They really have some guts," Liam said with a slight smile, but his eyes flashed with a chilling coldness."The Nosh family in Juneau is not weak. Their influence spans all of Hestia. If you want to know more, I can tell you everything..." White Wraith trembled at the coldness in Liam's eyes. Nervously, he spoke again.At this moment, having clearly understood his situation, White Wraith had no intention of resisting. He was willing to say anything!"No need," Liam
The pain of his meridians being crushed.It's something that no human willpower can control!"Heh…" Looking at the situation in front of him, Liam let out a faint laugh.However, he did not say anything. Instead, he lightly flicked his finger, and the streak of golden light that had pierced into White Wraith's brow suddenly returned to Liam's hand."Speak."Only then did he casually say.The intense pain subsided, and White Wraith, gasping heavily, had a pale face, drenched in sweat, his eyes bulging from the severe pain he had just endured!In that moment of excruciating pain, White Wraith had even considered suicide.He had no control over his body, nor the internal energy within him!Before Liam, White Wraith had completely lost control of his body!At this moment, he truly realized that the greatest despair in this world is that even death cannot be sought!"I… I…"White Wraith raised his head to look at Liam, still shaken, his eyes trembling as he spoke directly, "It's
"Ha…"Upon hearing this, White Wraith sneered, a look of disdain flashing across his face. He did not take a single word of what Liam said to heart.His martial arts skills were astonishing, but that did not mean he could do whatever he wanted!You see, when the Nosh family began investing countless resources to cultivate them, they did not just train them in martial arts. They also trained them in assassination, stealth, and even counter-interrogation techniques. Both White Wraith and Black Wraith had undergone such training!Otherwise, they would not have ended up as they were—neither fully human nor truly noble!What's more, after becoming advanced martial arts Masters, their tolerance for pain had reached an inconceivable level!White Wraith did not believe that Liam could do anything to him without saying a word.In the beginning, their despair was only because they feared they would not be able to send the intel about Liam back to Juneau, to Arkem.But now, with no hope l
However, Liam completely ignored the thoughts in the minds of the Monochrome Duo Wraiths.He stretched out his hand, once again grabbing White Wraith by the neck, lifting him up, and in a flash, had already returned outside the cafe.Immediately after…Bang—Liam casually tossed Black and White Wraith onto the ground."Ugh..."The two froze, letting out a muffled grunt."Who... who exactly are you?"They stared wide-eyed, their gazes filled with extreme fear as they looked at the handsome young man in front of them."Who sent you?"Liam did not respond to the words of Black and White Wraith. He spoke calmly,"I..."Upon hearing Liam's words, Black and White Wraith suddenly shuddered.They tried to move, but realized that not only could they not summon their internal energy, they had even lost control over their bodies!This realization sent a wave of horror through them!"If you answer my questions honestly, I'll give you a quick end."At the same time, Liam's calm voic
"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
