With Grandmaster Burrey around, there was always hope! This was the most steadfast belief among the members of the Nine Nether Squad. Not to mention, the last time Bluebird had managed to stay conscious, she had struggled to voice her wish to return to the Nine Nether Squad base.Everyone believed that Bluebird thought Grandmaster Burrey might have a way to save her. However, none of them saw the deepest, most reluctant hope in her eyes. It seemed as though, in her final moments, there was someone she desperately wanted to see.It was not long before the helicopter arrived at the Nine Nether Squad base. Amidst the roaring of the rotors, the helicopter slowly touched down."Grandmaster Burrey..." Gabriel stood at the front, his gaze filled with deep sorrow as he looked at Liam. It was not just him. The other members of the Nine Nether Squad also hung their heads, tears welling up in their eyes."What's going on?" Liam frowned sharply upon seeing the scene before him. He had been inf
Liam's voice broke the silence, heavy with a sigh. "For now, we're planning to leave Bluebird here..."At this moment, with everything seemingly settled, Liam had begun preparing for Bluebird's final arrangements."Wait!" Liam seemed to notice something, his gaze fixed sharply on Bluebird."Grandmaster Burrey, what is it?" Hearing Liam's urgent tone, Gabriel lifted his head in confusion. However, Liam did not bother to respond. His focus remained entirely on Bluebird."Quickly, bring Bluebird inside!" He gestured decisively to Gabriel, then turned and headed back into the tent."What's going on...?" Gabriel was stunned by Liam's sudden change in demeanor.All the members of the Nine Nether Squad were equally baffled. They had no idea what Liam's sudden actions meant. Despite their confusion, the team followed Liam's orders and carried the stretcher into the tent."Everyone out!" After directing the team to lay the stretcher down, Liam motioned for everyone to leave the tent.Hi
Through the subtle feedback Liam received from checking Bluebird's pulse, he confirmed his suspicion - Bluebird was still alive!The next moment, as Liam channeled his powerful inner energy into Bluebird's body, he could clearly sense her condition. It was terrible—beyond terrible!Her lungs were punctured, her heart was damaged, and a series of other injuries plagued her body. The situation inside her was already at its worst. On top of that, she had lost a significant amount of blood due to massive bleeding.Although it was evident that the military hospital had attempted some emergency measures and blood transfusions, none of it had improved her condition. In such a dire state, it was understandable why the hospital had declared her beyond saving.Or rather, Bluebird truly had lost her vitality, and her heart had stopped beating. However, having recently broken through to become a martial arts Master, her dense inner energy had become her final line of defense. Despite her heart
At the TV station, Studio One, of South City, the press conference for the launch of the new drug 'Bellflower' was about to be held.No matter how much money one had, it would be impossible to organize such an event here. This venue was a symbol of power and influence.As Hailey had mentioned earlier, even though they arrived three hours in advance, other companies and families were already present, some even earlier than them.Without exception, everyone was dressed in their finest attire."See, didn't I tell you!" Hailey turned her head, her chubby face brimming with smugness. "I knew getting here early wouldn't hurt!""Hurry up, let's make the most of the time before the press conference starts. It's always good to network with more families," she urged, pushing Serena and the others to start mingling.Serena, tall and elegant by nature, had donned five-centimeter heels for the event. Her cold and striking presence made her stand out in the entire studio hall. Hailey was eager
Facing these renowned figures, Serena grew increasingly nervous. If things were as she suspected, it meant that Liam's abilities might truly surpass her initial expectations."Sis! Look, so many people from Qyn Province came to support just because Liam is hosting a new drug launch!" Layla stood beside her, her small face lifted with pride. "I told you Liam is amazing, but none of you believed me!"Compared to the rest of the Lloyd family, Layla's faith in Liam had never wavered."The launch is about to begin anyway, let's wait..." Serena's cold and stunning face showed a fleeting look of uncertainty as she repeated softly, "Just a little longer..."The launch was imminent. No matter how many theories they had in mind, they had to wait until the event began and they saw Liam to get their answers.Not far from Serena and her group stood another stunning beauty, equally anxious.As the launch of Bellflower drew nearer, Lucy realized she had lost contact with Grandmaster Burrey.Af
After Bluebird was brought back to the Nine Nether squad's base, her heart had already stopped beating.Her current physical condition was only sustained by the last remnants of inner energy within her body. The slightest misstep, and if her inner energy dissipated, there would be no chance of saving her.Fortunately, during the crucial moment of Bluebird's breakthrough while undergoing the Heaven's Gate herbal bath, Liam had used his special needle technique to transfer his inner energy into her, offering critical support. Because of this, Bluebird could fully accept Liam's energy without any resistance. Otherwise, the treatment would not have even been possible.Despite this advantage, the pressure and energy consumption that Liam had to endure were still incredibly overwhelming. Transferring his energy to Bluebird was an entirely different challenge compared to using it himself.In the air, the special needles controlled by Liam's inner energy continued to descend. Simultaneousl
The golden needle in Liam's hand pierced the final acupoint, the Ghost Sealing Sea Spring.In an instant, a wave of invisible energy spread outward from Bluebird as the center, rippling through the surrounding area. The tent shook violently for a brief moment before everything fell silent.All sounds disappeared in that instant. Inside the tent, an eerie stillness took over.Liam gasped for breath, his forehead dripping with sweat as he looked at Bluebird, who lay motionless on the stretcher. This treatment had drained him more than any other. Yet, despite all his efforts, Bluebird remained still, as if nothing Liam had done had made any difference.However, even in the face of this scene, Liam's expression remained calm. There was no trace of panic.Though this treatment had nearly exhausted him, Liam could clearly feel that he had succeeded.The next moment, Bluebird's eyes rolled slightly before slowly opening. When she saw Liam, she froze."So, after death, you really do see
"Grandmaster Burrey…"Upon hearing the name, Bluebird was momentarily stunned. She looked up at Liam, a hint of confusion flashing across her eyes. However, before Bluebird could speak, Liam's voice rang out again."The matter we discussed earlier—do you need my help with it now?" he glanced at the gruesome scar on Bluebird's face and asked."Grandmaster Burrey, you should rest first! As for the scar on my face, it's nothing to worry about!"Bluebird's face showed a flash of concern as she quickly responded. Now that she was fully conscious, she could clearly sense everything around her and knew she was still alive.However, what shocked her even more was the sight of Liam standing before her, looking utterly exhausted. Beads of sweat dotted his forehead.There was no need to guess. Bluebird knew without a doubt that this was all because Grandmaster Burrey had been healing her injuries.She recalled how, earlier, Grandmaster Burrey had leapt down from a height of several hundred
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
