Chapter 4

Author: Remorseless Lucas
Meanwhile, Liam stood by the floor-to-ceiling window at the Havenwood Hotel in South City, gazing blankly at the bustling traffic below. Even now, he had not fully recovered from the emotions of his divorce.

Who would have thought a loving relationship would end that way?

Just moments ago, his former mother-in-law had even contacted him, asking for his address, saying she wanted to see him.

Four years in prison and not a single visit from anyone in the Lloyd family. What meaning did it hold now for them to visit to see him?

Liam let out a soft sigh. Then, he turned to look at the crumpled coffee shop transfer agreement lying on the table.

"A lifetime of worry-free living?" he mused, recalling what Serena said with a sarcastic smile. He reached out and tore the agreement to shreds.

At that moment, Liam's phone suddenly rang. Although arrangements had been made for him before his release, only a few people had his phone number.

Frowning slightly, Liam answered the call.

There was a brief pause on the other end as the caller realized he had picked up. Then, a voice, both anxious and delighted, spoke up, "Is this Grandmaster Burrey?"

The title 'Grandmaster' was the highest honor, the pinnacle of achievement! A Grandmaster was someone who excelled in a particular field and reached the utmost heights. Those addressed as Grandmaster were undoubtedly the most elite figures in the world.

However, upon hearing the title, Liam remained remarkably calm apart from a momentary furrow of his brow.

"I am Liam Burrey, who are you?"

Upon hearing Liam's response, the voice on the other end was ecstatic. "Grandmaster, I'm really sorry for calling you like this, but I had no other choice!"

Even through the phone, the excitement the other end tried to hide could be felt, accompanied by a desperate, tearful urgency. "I'm Lucy Hill from the Hill family in Qyn Province. Three years ago, you saved my grandfather's life. Do you remember? My grandfather is now critically ill. I beg you, please help my grandfather again!"

The Hill family of the Qyn Province!

Anyone from Qyn Province would be stunned at the mention of the family.

The Hill family was the dominant force in Qyn Province; a stomp of their foot would shake the entire province. With several publicly listed companies under its banner, its influence spanned both politics and business.

Compared to the Hill family, the Lloyd family was merely a small ant!

In fact, the Lloyd family's achievements were closely related to those of the Hill family. Ever since the Lloyd family inexplicably received some orders from the Hill family three years ago, they had soared to success!

Furthermore, Lucy was Julian Hill's most beloved granddaughter and the current head of the Hill family. She managed half of the Hill family's industries and was groomed to be the next successor of the Hill family!

Yet, such a prestigious family humbly called Liam for help?

Moreover, the next head of the Hill family personally called Liam with a pleading tone.

If Serena were present, one could only imagine her shock. She had wanted to thank the Hill family for their help for years. Even so, Serena had never met anyone from the Hill family.

Liam, whom she found annoying and useless, actually made Lucy call personally, desperately pleading for help!

Who would have thought?

Liam frowned and lightly said, "I don't remember anyone from the Hill family, but since you did, you should also know my rule. I could only treat anyone once."

With that, he hung up the phone.

It would have shocked anyone who witnessed that and left them in disbelief!

The beloved granddaughter of the head of the Hill family in Qyn Province personally called for help, yet Liam casually hung up on them.

To put it bluntly, No one in Qyn Province would dare to do so!

However, unexpectedly, the disconnected phone rang once more.

Clearly, the other party did not care that Liam had hung up on them. Instead, they continued to desperately plead.

Watching the incessantly ringing phone, Liam shook his head and answered the call once more.

As soon as the call connected, Lucy, now filled with tears, could no longer contain her distress. "Grandmaster Burrey, I know your rules of medical treatment! I beg you! Please, save my grandfather one more time!

"As long as you promise to see my grandfather, we will fulfill whatever conditions you set."

Through the phone, one could sense Lucy's helplessness and pleading.

Liam sighed and said, "The reason I won't intervene a second time is because those I've tried to save once and failed, there's simply no reason to try again. Life, aging, sickness, death, that's the way of the world. We shouldn't force it."

His voice was calm and indifferent.

"Grandmaster Burrey, if my grandfather had been just ill, I wouldn't have asked you for help! But that's not the case! Three days ago, my grandfather suddenly collapsed into a coma. We searched all over Qyn Province. We concluded that my grandfather wasn't just sick, he was poisoned!

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't dare to disturb you! He's not just going through the natural course of life; please, I beg you, come and see my grandfather!"

Lucy's eyes were red with tears as she held the slip of paper with Liam's phone number, her hand trembling faintly. "My grandfather is a good and kind-hearted man. He has been doing good deeds all his life, building many nursing homes and orphanages. He shouldn't suffer like this!"

Over the past few days, she had tried everything but to no avail!

It was only through her family's elders that Lucy learned three years ago her grandfather's fatal illness was not a mysterious self-recovery but rather by the assistance of a miracle doctor.

At that time, Julian took the enormous risk of leaving the provincial capital to seek out this miracle doctor.

However, Julian had kept silent about this matter all along, never mentioning it once. If someone could save Julian again, perhaps it would only be this miracle doctor.

Lucy searched the entire Lloyd family, exhausted all methods, and finally obtained Liam's contact information.

Liam was Lucy's last straw of hope!

As Lucy spoke, Liam suddenly recalled.

Three years ago, it seemed that he did indeed treat such an old man.

He sighed softly and said, "If that's the case, then I'll make a trip."

    Just like when he had decided to lend a hand back then.What moved him was not the payment Lucy promised but simply Julian's long-standing kindness!"Mister Burrey! I'm truly grateful! I've only heard that you were previously in the Third Prison. Where exactly are you now? Please tell us, and we'll come to pick you up right away!" Lucy cried tears of joy.After informing Lucy of the hotel where he was staying, Liam hung up the phone.Shortly after, Liam lowered his head, reaching for the needle pouch woven from the golden thread at his waist. With a flick of his fingers, he opened the pouch.In an instant, the entire room seemed to brighten up! Different sized exquisite golden needles appeared before Liam.The golden needles were slender and intricately engraved with mysterious patterns. Each needle was a masterpiece, invaluable!There were 108 such golden needles in the pouch!When the 108 golden needles were put together, the mysterious patterns converged to form the words

    As the Lloyd Group continued to expand under Serena's leadership, the status of the Lloyd family members soared. Etchen, who had always been useless and aimless, took advantage of the Lloyd family's influence to gather a group of useless friends and roam around. Ordinary people would be afraid to provoke them."You lazy kid, stop fooling around! You're not a kid anymore. Why don't you do something meaningful?" Hailey pretended to scold Etchen but could not help but smile."I do want to do something! It's just that my sister won't let me run a company. Don't worry, Mom, once I take over the cafe, I'll make something of myself!" Etchen shrugged.Soon, the two arrived at the door of Liam's room, according to the room number."He is even living in the presidential suite!" Seeing the room where Liam lived, the two widened their eyes in disbelief, feeling angry.Not long after Liam hung up the phone, there was a sudden banging on the door."So soon?" Liam frowned. He thought it was Luc

    However, what Liam said flew over Etchen's head."You don't care about the property? Liam, are you joking with me? You, a former convict, wouldn't qualify to stay in a five-star hotel without my sister's money! How dare a waste like you be so self-righteous?" he sneered. Hailey interrupted Etchen with a wave of her hand. "Etchen, you don't need to waste your breath on him! We all know what kind of person this former convict is. After all, he spent four years in prison. Let's be magnanimous and not bother with these trivial matters."She sat on the sofa, adopting a condescending posture. "Liam, spend your other petty cash as you wish, but I heard that your condition for divorcing Serena is taking over a cafe?""Taking over a cafe?" Liam furrowed his brow. Back then, the cafe was something Serena begged him to keep, and he had no intention of accepting it.How could Hailey twist the truth so easily?"Isn't that right? Let me tell you, Liam, everyone knows their own worth. We would

    As the Lloyd Group's business grew larger in recent years, the Lloyd family's tastes for finer things also soared. That was especially true for Hailey, who had seen many good things in her life. However, she could guarantee that she had never seen anything as exquisitely crafted as the object in the bag. Such a masterpiece must be invaluable."Mom! What are you talking about?" Etchen was stunned. Following her gaze, he also noticed the Harvest Union needle pouch placed on the table. He froze, a hint of anger flashing across his face, accompanied by a deep sense of greed. He could not acquire the cafe, but he could get something else."Aren't you two done yet?" Liam looked coldly at the two in front of her."What do you mean if we are done!" Hailey's face darkened as she pointed coldly at the Harvest Union needle pouch. "That bag of golden needles is worth much more than the cafe! So you have been hiding it! If I hadn't gone behind Serena's back and come here, we wouldn't even know

    Etchen was immediately stunned. He widened his eyes and shouted, "What the hell are you doing?! He's just a worthless ex-convict, not some Grandmaster! You've got it all wrong." Before Etchen could finish speaking. Smack!A fierce slap landed heavily on his face. "Who do you think you are to disrespect Grandmaster Burrey?" Lucy withdrew her hand as she gazed at him icyly. What? Etchen was dumbfounded. He never dreamed that before he could finish his sentence, he would be greeted with a slap! However, the fiery sting on his face incessantly reminded him that this was all too real! As the young heir of the Lloyd family in South City, he never imagined that he would be slapped by a woman! How could Etchen endure such humiliation? "How dare you hit me?" He raised his head abruptly and angrily. "So what if I hit you?" Lucy looked down on him, not taking Etchen seriously at all. "There is no 'Grandmaster Burrey' you're looking for here, only a worthless ex-convict! But d

    "Where did you come from? Where did this crazy woman come from!" Hailey's face went pale with fright. When she saw Etchen lying on the ground, contorting in pain, she screamed even louder. She felt her heart being torn apart. "How dare you beat my son! You crazy woman, you're finished!" She was yelling like a mad dog as she continued, "You dare provoke the Lloyd family. I'll make sure none of you have a good end!""And you! You useless piece of trash!" Hailey turned her head towards Liam, ranting furiously, "Now I finally understand the situation. No wonder you divorced Serena without a care in the world. It turns out you found another woman to support you right after you got out of prison!"You shameless thing! Shameless to the core! You are addicted to living off others. You even found a slut to harm the Lloyd family. Let me tell you, none of you will escape!" Hailey continued to hurl insults."Heh." Lucy suddenly chuckled. She had never seen such a shrew cursing before."Lau

    Hailey hastily helped up Etchen and limped toward the door. They were so arrogant when they first arrived, but they left as a disheveled pair. Yet, just before stepping out, Hailey glanced back at Liam and Lucy. There was a mixture of venom and hatred. She exclaimed as soon as she was out, "I knew this useless waste had an audacious streak! Turns out, he got involved with this despicable woman. He even watched as I was humiliated and as Etchen had his leg broken!""He's addicted to living off women!" Hailey gritted her teeth, her voice dripping with scorn. "Heartless and despicable, he even dared to call me 'mom' before! Sooner or later, I'll make him repay every bit of suffering he's caused me!"And that despicable woman, don't think you can escape! Thinking you can do as you please just because you have a few bodyguards? How dare you challenge our Lloyd family in South City, acting so arrogantly! I'll ensure you regret ever setting foot in this world!" she continued.She saw t

    As Liam and Lucy were on the road, something was unfolding at South City's Golden Cross Hospital.Hailey held Etchen in the lobby, hurling curses left and right."Do you even know who I am? I'm Serena Lloyd's mother from the Lloyd family! I've had dinner with your hospital director! Have you seen how injured my son is? What gives you the right to deny him admission?! Let me tell you, if anything happens to my son because of your delay in treatment, I won't spare any of you!"With hands on her hips, she continued unabated, "Do you all not care about your careers anymore?""Madam, we understand your situation and are not denying your son admission. Your son's injuries may look severe, but they are not critical. He can receive adequate treatment in a regular ward," intervened Gunter, the hospital's administrative manager. "What regular ward?! Do you even understand who we are? Do you think a regular ward can provide the best medical care for my son? Let me tell you, we demand a VIP

    Therefore, this man had no idea what was happening on the main stage. He could only see that Matthew's expression had changed."Maybe he's worried about the performance of our Western Military Region's special forces instructor this time."Hearing the frivolous man's words, another officer sitting nearby explained."Heh..."The frivolous man tilted his head and scoffed, "With the Central Military Region's lousy skills, how could they possibly make Commander Pines worried!""Kenton, you can't say that!"The officer quickly shook his head. "Have you forgotten the performance of the Nine Nether Squad in the special forces competition? Their significant improvement was all because of that mysterious instructor, Grandmaster Burrey!"He spoke solemnly, "The Central Military Region is no longer that simple!"The frivolous man was none other than Kenton, the officer from the Western Military Region whom Serena had contacted earlier!However, despite his seemingly high status in the We

    "Matthew, it's fine. If you still want to continue the investigation, our Central Military Region can cooperate!"Seeing Matthew's expression, Gabriel felt even more satisfied. He pretended to be sincere and spoke again, "Investigate a bit more, and maybe you can feel at ease.""No need!" Hearing this, Matthew's face turned even darker. He shook his head and said stiffly, "The military's orders have been issued, telling me to stop the investigation."The Special Forces Instructor Exchange Conference is about to start soon. Let's focus on that for now."With that, Matthew turned to look at the stadium below.However, judging by his clenched jaw, it was clear that his mood was far from calm."Heh…"Seeing this, Gabriel chuckled silently.He felt immensely satisfied!Meanwhile, the others on the main stage heard the exchange between Gabriel and Matthew, and their eyes flickered with surprise.Although the sudden news from the military, admitting that the Bastion Squad had lied,

    All of this brought immense shock to Gabriel!With his understanding, he could not even begin to imagine how Grandmaster Burrey managed to pull this off, how he got the Bastion Squad to change their stance in such a short time.For a moment, Gabriel's mind was in chaos.And it was not just him.The other high-ranking officials on the stage had also received the same notification, and a look of shock flashed across their faces.Clearly, none of them had expected such a turn of events.The intelligence from the Bastion Squad seemed almost like a joke!Luckily, everyone around was too shocked to notice.Otherwise, Gabriel's earlier startled reaction would have already exposed a lot.But soon, Gabriel managed to regain his composure.However, it was not because he figured things out—rather, it was because he could not make sense of it, so he just stopped trying!After all, the existence of Grandmaster Burrey was beyond someone like him to understand!The one thing Gabriel was s

    "Old Warren, sorry, I need to take a call."Matthew glanced at Gabriel and spoke with a smile.At this moment, his expression was full of confidence, as if victory was in his grasp.Then, Matthew picked up his phone and answered the call.However—"What?"The instant he heard the voice on the other end, his expression froze!"How is that possible!"Matthew's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "Are you sure? How could the Bastion Squad do such a thing!"Hearing Matthew's words, Gabriel was stunned for a moment.Originally, his heart was full of tension and anxiety.After all, Matthew's preparations this time were incredibly thorough.But what on earth was happening now!What happened to the Bastion Squad that made Matthew show such an expression?And at that very moment, Gabriel's phone also rang.He glanced down and saw it was a call from the military headquarters.Frowning, he answered the call.And the instant he heard the voice on the other end, his body

    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
