"The most important thing is that the Lloyd Group has hitched a ride with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation!"You have no idea how many companies and businesses in South City are trying to collaborate with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation!"Our family is also seeking collaboration. If we can secure a project with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, we won’t have to worry about development for at least the next thirty years!"When mentioning the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, Yassir's eyes gleamed with envy."I bet only a worthless, ignorant failure like you would be reckless enough to say such ridiculous things!"He looked at Liam with disdain. "Just look at yourself! It’s a wonder that Serena didn’t divorce you sooner!""As for whether it was too late for Serena to divorce me, I’m not sure," Liam said calmly as he listened to Yassir’s words. He then added indifferently, "All I know is that your family’s company will never, in this lifetime, work with the Verd
At this moment, Valerie’s heart was filled with regret. She should not have brought Liam to this class reunion!What she thought would be a friendly gathering of old classmates, a long-awaited reunion, had turned into this mess!"Leave? Valerie, you can leave if you want," a cold glint flashed in Yassir’s eyes as he said, "But Liam, he’s not leaving so easily!""Eat my food, drink my drinks, and yet..." he slammed the table and said angrily, "He even dares to curse that our family won't be able to cooperate with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation. Who gave him the guts!"As soon as Yassir's words fell, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open. Two bodyguards, dressed in suits with unfriendly expressions, stepped inside.They stood behind Yassir, expressionless but intimidating."Yassir, how could you act like this! It was you who mocked Liam first!" Valerie trembled but still instinctively pulled Liam behind her. "If you’re upset that Liam didn’t pay, then I’ll c
"Yes! You even know the name of our family's company!"Upon hearing Liam’s words, a mocking smile flickered across Yassir’s face. "What? Looking like that, are you planning to seek revenge?""I’ll give you the chance!"He extended his hand, pointing at Liam from a distance, his face suddenly turning vicious. "Our family's company is just about to go public!""I’d like to see what you can actually do! If all you, this worthless piece of trash, can do is spout nonsense here, don’t blame me for breaking your legs!"Yassir’s cold voice echoed throughout the private room."Yassir! No need for that, no need!"In that instant, the other classmates in the room turned pale with anxiety and hurriedly spoke up.For them, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to see Liam’s legs get broken. They were just worried that if anything happened in the private room, it would cause them trouble!"Liam, what are you thinking? It’s already come to this, and you’re still being stubborn!""Exactly, Liam, j
"Yes!"Upon hearing Yassir's command, the two bodyguards behind him moved swiftly, heading directly toward Liam!"Wait!"Valerie's face instantly showed a trace of panic.Although she did not fully understand Liam's actions just now, she instinctively stood in front of him.However, with her slender figure, how could she possibly stop the two burly bodyguards?In just a moment, the two bodyguards had already bypassed Valerie and reached Liam. A sinister grin appeared on their faces!Judging by their murderous expressions, it was clear they were serious about following Yassir's order to break Liam's leg!"Hmph! How ignorant!"Watching Liam standing there foolishly, Yassir's face flashed with a cold smile. "You dare to pretend in front of me! You have no idea just how vast the gap between us is!"This time, he was determined to teach Liam a lesson he would never forget!However, just as the two bodyguards extended their hands to grab Liam—Whoosh—Inside the private room, a
However, Liam’s defiance, resulting in one of his bodyguards being injured, enraged Yassir to the point that he failed to notice anything unusual in his excitement!The next moment…"You piece of trash! Who do you think you are, finding some filthy b*tch and daring to challenge me?"Yassir's head snapped up, his face twisted with rage. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "You dare harm my bodyguard like that? I’ll take your life!"He was not completely foolish, though.Seeing the dagger in the hand of the woman named Bluebird, he restrained himself from doing anything rash. Instead, he pulled out his phone, eyes gleaming with cold intent, ready to call for reinforcements.This was no longer child's play like when they were in school.If Liam fought back, Yassir would make sure he regretted ever being born into this world. A worthless nobody! Where did he get the nerve to defy him?However, before Yassir could dial the number, his phone rang first."Dad!"Yassir glanced at the c
Yassir trembled as he raised his head and looked ahead at Liam."It must be you, you b*stard, who provoked such a powerful figure!"Yassir’s reaction instantly triggered something in Wade’s mind, and his voice suddenly became agitated."You fool, do you realize what you’ve done? I heard that this time, it's not just targeting our Carver Lighting, but there's even an investigation into our Carver family..."The next moment.A barrage of furious words erupted from Wade’s mouth.No exaggeration. If Wade had been beside Yassir at that moment, he would have likely devoured him alive!The private room fell into a dead silence!Only Wade’s enraged voice continued to come through the phone.Hearing Wade’s voice, everyone in the private room stared wide-eyed, fixing their gazes on Liam.They clearly understood what had just happened.If there was a sudden downfall for Carver Lighting, there could only be one possibility!At this moment, Liam’s calm voice rang out, "I told you before
"Liam..."Valerie lifted her head and looked at Liam, her voice dry, "Why did you never tell me you were this powerful...""Powerful?" Liam shook his head, indifferent. "What's so great about that?"Besides, you never asked about me either."He turned his head and looked at Valerie calmly as he spoke.Hearing this, Valerie froze for a moment.Ever since the first time she met Liam, she had always assumed certain things based on the rumors she had heard.It seemed she really had not asked about anything regarding him.In the next moment, a bitter smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.Originally, Valerie thought that after everything Liam had been through, facing such a low point, he would need her help.She believed that she could finally do something for him!Valerie was confident that with her by his side, Liam would surely rise again. But who could have imagined...Things were nothing like what she had thought!Liam had not changed at all. He was even more outstanding
Liam would not change his mind just because of Yassir's plea for mercy."I…"Seeing this scene, Valerie froze for a moment. Although her suggestion had not been agreed upon by Liam, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes as she looked at him!Compared to before, Liam now exuded a newfound decisiveness, a change that made Valerie's heart race with confusion and infatuation.At the moment Liam spoke, Yassir's vision went black. He could not handle such a shock and immediately fainted!In his wildest dreams, Yassir never imagined that what was supposed to be a school reunion where he could show off would end up like this—all because he targeted Liam.Not only did he suffer a devastating blow, but he also dragged his entire family down with him to ruin. The once-glorious Carver Lighting Corporation was completely wiped out in less than five minutes, all because they had offended Liam.Yassir forever lost his arrogant, overbearing demeanor. If given another chance, not even under t
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
