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
Upon hearing Bluebird's words, Liam nodded slightly.Without further delay, he extended his hand, holding a Harvest Union golden needle, and gently tapped it on the center of her forehead."Hmm?" Bluebird felt a cool sensation between her brows.Before she could react, a sudden wave of intense itching surged from the scar on her face.Instinctively, Bluebird wanted to reach out and touch the scar."Don't move," just then, Liam's calm voice rang out.Hearing his command, Bluebird immediately halted her movements. Her back straightened, and she sat rigidly in place.The itching sensation intensified quickly, overwhelming her senses. Sweat began to bead on her forehead from the unbearable discomfort. Yet, because of Liam's order, she remained motionless, enduring the sensation in silence.Thankfully, the intense itching gradually subsided after a moment."It's done," Liam said casually, as he carefully removed the Harvest Union golden needle from Bluebird's forehead."Grandmaste
"Grandmaster Burrey!" Bluebird reached out and grabbed Liam's arm.Seeing this, Liam asked in confusion, "What's wrong?""Nothing."Bluebird smiled softly, her voice calm yet resolute, "It's just that... I've decided not to return to the Nine Nether Squad.""Not going back to the Nine Nether Squad?"Liam paused, surprised, and replied, "But you should at least inform Gabriel and the others, especially considering the Central Military Region..."Before Liam could finish his sentence, Bluebird spoke again."I'm not going back to the Central Military Region either."She shook her head, her face serious."Not returning to the Central Military Region?" Liam asked in shock, "Then where are you planning to go?"Hearing this, Bluebird smiled faintly and lowered her head.She had enlisted at the age of fourteen, spending most of her life in the military. The last Special Forces competition had burdened her with many regrets.Bluebird had always believed that she would live the rest
"We all feel deeply sorry about what happened to Bluebird," Gabriel sighed, then continued, "But I hope you won't let Bluebird's incident affect you too much, Grandmaster Burrey.""That's right, Grandmaster Burrey. If Captain Bluebird were still here, she definitely wouldn't want to see you like this..." One of the members of the Nine Nether squad spoke up, trying to comfort Liam.Although they did not know what exactly happened in the tent earlier, they hoped Grandmaster Burrey would not be too devastated by Bluebird's fate.As for Bluebird being saved by Grandmaster Burrey, neither Gabriel nor any of the Nine Nether members had considered it.After all, in their eyes, Bluebird was no longer alive. How could someone who had already passed away be brought back to life?"Don't worry, Grandmaster Burrey. We'll handle everything related to Bluebird properly," Gabriel reassured Liam as he noticed his prolonged silence. "We won't let you worry about a thing.""Alright," Liam nodded.
For a moment, he felt an even greater shock!Grandmaster Burrey had actually brought the lifeless Bluebird back to life!This was completely beyond the realm of logic!Immediately after, a deeply complex and bitter smile flashed across Gabriel's face. After all, no matter how unbelievable something might be, it seemed entirely possible when it involved Grandmaster Burrey!The next moment, something seemed to cross Gabriel's mind. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he turned and walked out of the tent."Commander Warren, should we handle Captain Bluebird’s remains?"As soon as Gabriel stepped out, the members of the Nine Nether Squad quickly gathered around him. They had stayed behind just to see Bluebird one last time.However, to their surprise, after they spoke, Gabriel shook his head."All records regarding Bluebird are now classified. Officially, he’s to be declared as having died in action!"Gabriel’s face was stern as he said in a deep voice, "Seal off the Nine Nethe
Inside the broadcasting hall.Several people, eager to find out what was happening, hurriedly ran outside. They were curious to see who had the audacity to arrive in a military helicopter!"Should we go take a look?"Seeing this scene, Hailey's face showed a hint of excitement.Anyone who could make such a grand entrance was certainly not an ordinary person!Even if they could not establish a connection with this person, just being familiar with them would satisfy Hailey."Forget it, we shouldn’t join this crowd."Upon hearing Hailey's words, Ronald also felt a flicker of interest. But in the end, he shook his head and said, "People like that wouldn’t even notice our Lloyd family. Besides, so many people have already gone out, we probably won’t see anything even if we go.""Let’s just wait for the press conference to begin. I think the reason it’s been delayed by half an hour is because they’re waiting for this important person."Ronald added, "Now that they’ve arrived, the pr
Hailey froze for a moment, then immediately frowned. Biting her teeth in frustration, she snapped, "What the hell is going on with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation?" "A project this big, with such high profits, and they didn't even inform us? We didn't even know about the launch of the White Glycoside Cream!"And now, they won't even let us in? The Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation has gone too far!" Hailey was seething with resentment. "They really have overstepped!" Standing beside her, Sam also wore a dark expression. Other members of the Lloyd family started cursing as well. None of them had expected the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to treat the Lloyd Group this way! However… In contrast to the growing anger around her, Serena remained calm, standing silently at the back. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the way the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had handled things. She had discussed this matter with the Lloyd family mem
However, Charice and Sam had barely stepped into the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building for five minutes before they were sent out in disgrace. Just like the previous attempts, they failed once again. This time, they didn't even get past the lobby—before, at least, they could meet with someone in charge. "What's going on? Before, we could at least talk to the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's representatives, but this time, we didn't even get to see anyone!" Sam's face was filled with frustration. "If we can't get in, it means the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation really doesn't want to work with us…" Charice sighed. "But if they don't want to cooperate with the Lloyd Corporation, shouldn't they at least give us a reason?" Before Charice could finish speaking, Sam cut in, his voice laced with anger. "We used to have such a good working relationship with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, but now we don't even know about the launch of the White Gly
"That useless trash, what did he do this time?" Sam turned his head toward Charice, his voice dry and hoarse. "Who… who knows…" Charice shook her head, her expression stiff. "Could it really be that he caused some huge trouble, which is why such a big scene happened?" Just based on that scene earlier—forget about escorting Liam. It was enough to wage a small-scale battle! Without hesitation, they quickly picked up their pace and hurried forward. "The man at the entrance just now, the one taken away in the military vehicle—do you know what happened?" Charice stopped a staff member of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, who had also been hiding to the side in shock, and hurriedly asked. They wanted to understand exactly what had happened! Why had so many soldiers chosen to take Liam away right in front of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building? However, the staff member they questioned was just a low-level employee of the foundation. Forget t
"Grandmaster Burrey!" Jerry hurried over to Liam, came to a halt, and saluted respectfully before quickly explaining, "There was an unexpected situation just now, and Commander Warren had to handle it, so he couldn't come to pick you up!" "I hope you understand!" As he spoke, he was clearly worried about displeasing Liam. "It's fine." Hearing this, Liam gently shook his head. He never really cared about such matters. However, when he saw the grand convoy behind him, he couldn't help but sigh again. "Didn't I tell Gabriel before to avoid all this unnecessary fuss?" Every time Gabriel came to see him, the scene he created always gave Liam a headache. "Grandmaster Burrey…" Hearing Liam's words, Jerry froze momentarily before cautiously raising his head to look at him. "Commander Warren specifically instructed us that the most important thing is to ensure your safety…" "Alright then…" Liam sighed helplessly. He could tell that Gabriel meant well, but thi
For him, revealing his identity was never a concern. Liam had never deliberately concealed who he was. He simply did not want unnecessary trouble. "Alright." Hearing Liam's response, Lucy gently nodded. "I just hope that through our efforts, we can gradually change the perception of traditional Hestian medicine among the people of Hestia." Liam lifted his gaze toward the pharmaceutical factory operating in the distance, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. This was what he had always wanted to accomplish! "Grandmaster Burrey, don't worry. It will happen!" Standing behind Liam, Lucy looked as picturesque as a painting. Her delicate face was adorned with a radiant smile. She had never doubted Liam. The Next Day After wrapping up their affairs, Liam and Lucy returned to South City together. Liam had not asked Lucy to accompany him, but she mentioned that she had other matters to handle at the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's South City branch.
"Ginland..." Thinking of that place, Liam let out a cold snort. "Are there any other particularly difficult issues?" He turned his head to look at Lucy and asked. "There's nothing else too tricky left." Lucy looked at Liam with a smile. "We've taken care of everything." For them, the most difficult times had already passed. But before seeing Liam, they still felt somewhat unsettled. Now that he was here, Lucy and the others could finally put their minds at ease. "Then let's go check out the White Glycoside Cream production facility." Even though Lucy told Liam that everything had been handled, he couldn't just ignore it completely. Liam still decided to visit the production site himself. "No problem." Lucy's smile grew even brighter. She actually wanted Liam to see the results of their hard work over this period. If they could earn some praise from Grandmaster Burrey, that would be even better. Without delay, after instructing the driver on the
Shortly after, Liam exchanged a few more words with Gabriel before ending the call. Even after hanging up, Liam could still sense the aura behind him growing increasingly chaotic. For a grandmaster of martial arts to have such a reaction, it was clear that Bluebird's heart had been deeply shaken. Even though her strength was already formidable, the Central Military Region had been the place where she had spent the first half of her life. "It's fine. I'm here." Without turning around, Liam spoke calmly, "As long as you don't want to go back, no one can force you to." Although he still didn't know what Bluebird planned for the future, this was one thing he could easily promise her. The moment she heard his words, the turbulence in Bluebird's aura immediately settled. Sensing this, Liam smiled faintly. "Grandmaster Burrey… what did you just say?" At that moment, Lucy looked at Liam curiously. It seemed like she had caught him saying something earlier. "Nothin
Hearing Gabriel's words over the phone, Liam paused. There was no denying it—Gabriel was truly clever. Beneath his seemingly simple and honest appearance lay a sharp sense of perception. The moment he sensed that Liam might be angry, he immediately apologized. Just like that, the anger that had started to rise within Liam subsided slightly. "Grandmaster Burrey, getting mad at someone like me isn't worth it!" When he did not hear a response from Liam for a long time, Gabriel cautiously spoke up again. "I never said I wouldn't provide the Central Military Region with the White Glycoside Cream." Noticing Gabriel's shameless persistence, a trace of helplessness flashed in Liam's eyes. "Recently, the supply of White Glycoside Cream has been limited. "I also care about the soldiers in the Central Military Region. If production stabilizes in the future, I will naturally increase the supply for them." "I know, I know! Grandmaster Burrey, I understand!" Sensing that L
"I..." Liam furrowed his brows, about to say something more to Lucy. But just then… Ring, ring— Lucy's phone rang again. She glanced down at the screen, and the moment she saw the caller ID, she froze for a second. Then, with a sigh, she turned to Liam with a helpless smile. "Grandmaster Burrey, see what I mean?" She shook her head. "I just mentioned Commander Warren, and now he's calling again!" "Give me the phone." Liam's expression darkened as he gestured for her to hand it over. Without hesitation, Lucy obediently passed the phone to him. Liam picked up the call without a second thought. "Miss Hill, how's the matter I asked about yesterday? I heard that the production of White Glycoside Cream ointment has stabilized recently!" "Come on, have a little mercy and allocate more for the Central Military Region. The soldiers have it tough!" "You know how close I am with Grandmaster Burrey. If he asks, I'd even jump into boiling oil for him!" "
