She smiled gently. "But let's not get caught up in these trivial matters. After all, the focus of this press conference is Bellflower!"As she spoke, several staff members pushed a small cart towards them. On the cart sat a small, brown, round pill."The effects of Bellflower medicine are quite miraculous..."With that, Lucy began to explain the various benefits of Bellflower.However, not a single person from the Hill family was paying attention to the effects of Bellflower!The moment Lucy appeared, they were all frozen in place!"It's her! She's the one with Liam, that scoundrel who attacked us!""Isn't she the eldest daughter of the Hill family?""Serena… Liam got out of her car that day..."In an instant, various voices erupted.However, without exception, everyone recognized the graceful figure standing in front of them, though each had experienced different encounters with her.Hearing the voices around them, the members of the Lloyd family were momentarily stunned!
"What a ridiculous dream!"This time, even Grandmaster Burrey's face was filled with utter disdain. "Liam, that useless piece of trash, what abilities does he have other than being a pretty face? How could the Hill family possibly value him so highly?"As for that charitable foundation you mentioned, it’s even more impossible for it to be the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation! When that foundation was established, so many families donated to it!""But now, the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation has no connection with those families! And as for Liam being the president of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, that's nothing more than a daytime fantasy!"He gritted his teeth, his face twisted with anger. "If the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation were truly associated with that waste, Liam, do you think he would hide away like a coward? With his personality, he would have jumped out to flaunt it long ago!"At this moment, Grandmaster Burrey couldn't help but recall the humiliat
She quickly turned around and jogged toward the figure.Soon after, Lucy hurriedly took hold of that figure's arm with concern."Liam..."The moment she saw this scene, Serena's body trembled, and her stunningly beautiful face turned pale.Even though she had divorced Liam a long time ago, and despite her family just informing her about many things regarding Liam, she still could not accept it when it unfolded before her eyes.In the next moment, Serena took a step forward, walking directly toward where Lucy was standing.Seeing this, her family quickly followed her.At the same time..."Grandmaster Burrey, are you feeling better now?" Lucy asked, full of concern, while holding onto Liam's arm."Pretty much," Liam replied with a smile and nodded.After the breathing exercises he just performed, his internal energy had recovered quite a bit. His condition was much better than before.The most important thing was that during this session, Liam once again noticed an increase in
"So, are you planning to keep climbing the ranks by relying on women?" Serena stared at Liam, her voice unrelenting and direct."Relying on women to climb the ranks?" Liam was taken aback, frozen in place. He had no idea why, after suddenly seeing Serena, she would say such a thing!"If you weren’t relying on women, could you have reached where you are today?" Serena had not even finished speaking when Hailey's scornful voice interrupted, "If it weren’t for you hooking up with Miss Hill, do you think you’d have the status you have now? And if it weren’t for Miss Hill’s backing, would you have dared to lay a hand on me back then…"Hailey still had not forgotten the slap she received. However, compared to before, she was now even more convinced that it was all because of Liam!"Miss Hill, I sincerely apologize. At that time, I didn’t know who you were, and I might have spoken out of turn." She then turned her head, looking at Lucy, pointing disdainfully at Liam as she continued,
She wanted to speak, to tell the members of the Lloyd family the shocking yet little-known truths about Liam—truths that would astonish anyone. Lucy also wanted to reveal everything to the Lloyd family. Without Liam, the Lloyd Group would have ceased to exist long ago!In fact, Lucy even considered ordering these ungrateful members of the Lloyd family to leave immediately!However, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly stopped.Although she had not known Liam for long, Lucy felt she had a fair understanding of Grandmaster Burrey. Especially considering the decisions Grandmaster Burrey had made for the Lloyd Group in the past because of Serena—it was clear that Grandmaster Burrey harbored complex feelings towards her.However, Serena's current actions would undoubtedly disappoint Grandmaster Burrey. She could not deal with someone who had let down Grandmaster Burrey so easily!"After hearing what you all have to say, I think I should be thanking you."The next moment, Luc
"Bet! Since you've said so, Miss Hill, wouldn't it be ungrateful of us not to agree?"Immediately.Before Serena could respond, Hailey's eager voice rang out.Moreover."But, if we actually win this bet, Miss Hill, as the eldest daughter of the Hill family and the one currently in charge of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's projects, you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"Worried that Lucy might deny it later, Hailey lifted her head, her face plastered with a smile as she asked.Ever since hearing Lucy say she was willing to stake half of the Hill family's fortune on this bet, Hailey hadn’t uttered a single word to convince Lucy that Liam was worthless."Of course, I wouldn't go back on my word."Looking at Hailey's eager expression, a trace of mockery flickered in Lucy's eyes.She now had a profound understanding of how shortsighted the Lloyd family really was. Forget half of the Hill family’s assets, even if they had ten times their fortune, it would not be wo
But after witnessing everything that unfolded before her eyes, Serena suddenly realized that the press conference was utterly meaningless!From now on, they would proceed with their collaboration with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation as usual. As for the role Liam might play in this situation, Serena no longer cared in the slightest!Like the other members of the Lloyd family, Serena was now entirely convinced that Liam was nothing more than someone who relied on women to get by!"Then I won't see you off," Serena remarked, a faint smile crossing Lucy’s face in response.Soon after, under Serena’s lead, the Lloyd family members turned to leave Studio One. It wasn’t that they found the press conference uninteresting; rather, they were simply worried that Lucy might change her mind."Um..."Just before leaving, Layla, who had been lost in thought, suddenly snapped out of her daze. She turned her head to look at Liam, as if she wanted to say something."What is it you want to
Although at first, the members of the Lloyd family were filled with resentment towards Liam when they finally understood everything, now it seemed like a blessing in disguise.At the very least, the Lloyd family could finally sever all ties with that wretched disaster, Liam. Moreover, after everything that had happened, they could not believe that Serena would still have the face to remain entangled with Liam. And, more than that, because of that useless Liam, Lucy even dared to gamble with them!All these circumstances filled the Lloyd family members with a sense of schadenfreude. As for matters related to the Hill family and the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, they did not pay much attention to them. After all, in the eyes of the Lloyd family, Liam had no qualifications to be involved with any of it. His greatest talent was simply relying on women!However, while the rest of the Lloyd family were reveling in their delight, Layla stood at the back, frowning deeply. When s
Kenton's eyes widened as he stared straight ahead.Freddy's lifeless body lay less than two meters away from him. From that distance, Kenton could clearly see Freddy's eyes, devoid of any sparkle.Maybe, if Freddy had taken just one more step to escape the ring and concede defeat, things might have been different.But that was impossible.From the moment Freddy chose to step into the ring, the outcome was already sealed.Right now, Kenton couldn't even feel the pain in his own body. His heart was completely consumed by fear.Kenton had never imagined that one day he would witness such a scene.Even more unimaginable was the fact that someone could be so terrifyingly powerful!All the instructors from the battle zones had been killed by the same person. Among them was even a martial arts Ascendants.Yet all of them combined could not last a single round against that Grandmaster!Everything that had just happened felt like a nightmare to Kenton.Even now, he could not believe
Ten Years Ago.When Matthew first took office as the commander of the Western Military Region, Brandon Yorkshire had already become his personal guard.Over the past ten years, however, Brandon had never once made a public appearance like he did today!Matthew had never expected that today, after Grandmaster Burrey from the Central Military Region made his move, Brandon would voluntarily show up, and even seem so frightened!However, the old man's appearance did not surprise Liam at all.Because the moment he saw Matthew, he had already noticed the old man's presence."The Martial Code?"Yet, the old man's words made Liam narrow his eyes.But now was not the time to dwell on such matters.Bang—Liam casually tossed Jormund's body aside, then looked up at the remaining special forces instructors still standing on the stage, showing a faint smile."I..."Seeing this, the few remaining instructors on the stage trembled violently!A formless fear instantly gripped their hearts
Jormund finally understood why, at that time, Gabriel did not resist when facing Liam.It was not that Baeron did not want to fight back.It was that, at that moment, Baeron had no chance to resist!The overwhelming pressure, like the sky collapsing, and the boundless fear!It left them completely unable to control their bodies!This man, who was called Grandmaster Burrey, what kind of monster was he?!Not only could he see through the condition of Jormund's body at a glance, but with a simple gesture, he made Jormund's inner energy shrink in terror, completely unable to move!Even though he had already broken through to the realm of martial arts Ascendant, it was still useless!Suddenly, Jormund recalled Baeron's action right before his death—trying desperately to look at them.Now, he finally understood the reason behind that gesture!But he no longer had any way to share his discovery with anyone else!Jormund stared wide-eyed at Liam's slender, well-defined hand, getting
"Mister Celd… When did you break through?"Their faces were filled with shock.Previously, the instructors from other military districts knew that Jormund's strength was extraordinary, but they had no idea to what extent.But they never expected this.Jormund had already become a martial arts Ascendant!That seemingly insurmountable chasm had been crossed by him!From now on, when they faced Jormund, they would probably have to show the respect of juniors!The instructors from other military districts could feel their inner energy trembling slightly under the impact of Jormund's aura, their faces showing a bitter smile.Now they finally understood why Jormund had said that he alone was enough back then!In the presence of a martial arts Ascendant, they weren't even qualified to fight alongside him!At the very front, the smile on Jormund's face was arrogant and unrestrained!"Originally, I planned to reveal my strength when reporting back to my clan. However, I just can't st
"What?""The instructors actually teamed up!""Teamed up? Wasn't it that Grandmaster Burrey of yours who asked for it himself?""If he wants to die, who can he blame!"...Seeing the situation on the stage, a group of soldiers immediately started discussing, with a hint of argument in their voices.The soldiers from other military districts who came to this so-called exchange meeting had long been displeased with that so-called Grandmaster Burrey!"Heh..."Seeing the group of instructors jumping onto the stage, Jormund chuckled softly.However, he did not say much, but his expression was full of confidence.The next moment, Jormund raised his head and looked at Liam, squinting his eyes sharply."Are you ready?"His voice was chilling!"I..."Right at that moment, Liam seemed to notice something and was stunned for a moment, just about to say something!But before he could speak.In front—Boom!Jormund did not give Liam any time to react.In just an instant, he charge
"Grandmaster Burrey..."In a panic, Gabriel opened his mouth, about to say something.But in the end, he was a moment too late!The next moment, Liam's hand, which was gripping Baeron's neck, tightened slightly.Crack—A crisp sound echoed.Baeron's head drooped instantly, the light in his eyes extinguished.Baeron, dead!In his final moments, he couldn't even tell the other officers from the various military districts below what he had originally intended to say!"What!""Impossible!""Grandmaster Burrey killed Baeron?""Weren't they just putting on an act?""What the hell is going on!"...In an instant, the entire stadium erupted like a boiling pot!No one could have imagined that Grandmaster Burrey would actually choose to kill directly!"Sigh..."On the main platform, Gabriel let out a heavy sigh and sat back down.Having once witnessed Grandmaster Burrey's methods, he knew very well just how terrifying it would be if Grandmaster Burrey decided to take action!
"I…"Baeron's face was filled with terror!His body was frozen in place by sheer fear, unable to move at all!Even though he was intensely focused a moment ago, Baeron couldn't catch a single glimpse of Liam's movements.But that was not what terrified him the most.The real reason for his overwhelming horror, the bone-chilling fear, was actually quite simple.It was the aura emanating from Liam's slender, fair hand — fingers distinct and refined.Baeron had lived for over forty years and believed that with his status, he was already accustomed to facing storms and dangers. Even a martial arts Ascendant would not have fazed him, especially considering the powerful backing he had.But never, never had Baeron felt such a hopeless aura.Deep as an abyss, majestic as a deity!The aura from the figure before him was beyond anything Baeron could describe.The once powerful internal energy within him now shrank into a corner, as if it had encountered its greatest predator. No matte
"A mere rat dares to talk so big with such little strength!"Liam's attitude filled Jormund with rage. He had never seen someone so arrogant before."Who do you think you are!"You're even scared of Baeron, and you think you're worthy of having all the army instructors attack together?"Jormund snapped furiously, "Do you really think that just because you brought some officers from the Western Military Region into the ring, you can do whatever you want?""So what you're saying is, if I deal with Baeron first, then all of you will attack together?"Liam turned his head and looked calmly at Jormund."I... "Hearing this, Jormund was momentarily speechless.He had not expected this so-called Grandmaster Burrey to actually respond."Don't worry, you won't get the chance."Baeron sneered, "There's no need to talk about everyone attacking at once. Since you're so eager to die in place of Yet, I'll gladly oblige.""If that's the case." Liam narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at
"The Central Military Region is replacing the instructor on stage. The match will continue."After confirming the information, the referee standing nearby announced that the exchange conference would proceed.At the same time, he quickly arranged for staff members to hurry onto the stage and carry away Kenton, who was lying in the center of the ring, groaning in pain.The incident happened suddenly.The instructor exchange conference was the priority.For now, no one had time to question why Grandmaster Burrey had appeared out of nowhere and smashed a Western Military Region officer into the ring.Even if there were questions, they would have to wait until the conference ended."Ah—"As Kenton was being carried off, his agonized screams continued to echo.He felt as if every bone in his body was broken, with no part spared from the pain!"Baeron, you have to avenge me! Avenge me! Make that little bastard suffer!"Kenton wailed in fury, shouting with all his might.Despite ev
