"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
Even though Liam completely ignored them, the classmates in the private room were fully aware of what had just transpired. Liam’s strength had far exceeded anything they could have imagined!Liam was probably the most extraordinary person they had ever encountered in their lives.However, the question remained—why had none of them ever heard any news about Liam before?The next moment, their furious gazes turned toward Yassir, who lay unconscious on the ground.If it were not for Yassir’s nonsense earlier, spouting that Liam was a useless ex-convict fresh out of prison, they never would have treated him that way!If they had treated Liam a little better just now, he might have remembered their old ties. Even if he offered just the tiniest bit of help, no matter how small, it could have turned their lives completely upside down in the best way!The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. The people in the private room were so frustrated that they wanted to drag Yassir
Finally, Valerie had made up her mind. She lifted her head and looked at Liam, and asked a question."Ridiculous? What’s so ridiculous about it?" Hearing Valerie's voice, Liam had a moment of confusion before he calmly responded, "The rumors in South City have always been like that. It’s normal for you to have such a misunderstanding."Moreover, even with such a misunderstanding, you still chose to stand by my side earlier."It seemed he had recalled the moment when Valerie stood resolutely in front of him.A smile appeared on Liam's face. "Being able to do all that is already remarkable!""But..."Listening to Liam's words, Valerie's eyes trembled slightly."There are no 'buts' about it." Liam shook his head and turned to look at her. "Although I don’t have much sentiment attached to this class reunion, at least I got to see you again."From you, I can still see that some things from the past never change."As he said these words, an image of Serena’s cold face suddenly flashe
Without hesitation, Liam got into the car as well."Where did you say you wanted to go just now?"Valerie, sitting in the driver's seat, asked while fastening her seatbelt, "If I drop you off this time and know where you live, don't be surprised if I come looking for you to hang out!""You're always welcome." Hearing Valerie's words, Liam smiled and responded, "I live in Hush Purple Gardens now.""Where?"Valerie's hand froze while fastening her seatbelt, and she turned her head sharply."Hush Purple Gardens." Liam asked, confused, "What’s wrong?""Nothing…"Valerie's hand trembled, and a bitter smile flashed across her face.Earlier, when Liam mentioned it, she caught the words 'Hush' but did not pay much attention because she was on the phone at the time.If she had heard earlier that Liam lived in Hush Purple Gardens, she probably would not have made the subsequent mistakes.After all, anyone from South City would know the significance of Hush Purple Gardens in the enti
Sebastian was not lying.Even though their Hensworth Group was a well-known name in South City, in front of Liam, Valerie was truly insignificant."Luck or no luck…"Hearing the murmurs from those around him, Liam showed a faint, helpless smile.The sudden shift in tone from the Hensworth family left him feeling slightly out of place.However, at that moment, Liam seemed to think of something.He turned his head to look at Charles and asked again, "Still, the question I asked earlier—are you sure you don't need my help?""I…"The moment Charles heard Liam's words, his body trembled.His mind flashed back to his previous conversation with Liam. At the time, Liam had asked him the exact same question.Back then, Charles had dismissed Liam's offer entirely, not taking him seriously.After all that had happened since then, Charles finally understood the weight of Liam's words back then."We…"Struggle flickered across Charles's face.Although the issues with Union Finance and
After all, the fact that Liam knew medicine was something she had never known!And Liam’s response confirmed her suspicions.This left Valerie, who thought she had already understood Liam, feeling a great sense of frustration."V-Valerie…"Just as Valerie’s mind was filled with countless thoughts, Sebastian’s voice suddenly rang out. He looked at Valerie nervously and said, "You... you should treat Liam better!""Liam being interested in you is a blessing for our Hensworth family.""If it weren’t for him, our Hensworth Group would’ve been finished this time…"Sebastian was filled with shock. He too was not sure how to communicate with Liam and instead chose to speak directly to Valerie."Yeah, Valerie, at the start, it was your mom and dad’s fault! You need to make sure you get along well with Liam!""That’s right! You can’t act petty in front of him!"Hearing Sebastian’s words, Charles and Janell both shook, suddenly becoming alert. They followed Sebastian’s words, quickly ur
"What...?"As soon as Valerie's voice rang out, the entire villa fell into an abrupt stillness. The Hensworth family members stared wide-eyed, their gazes fixed on Valerie, their expressions full of disbelief!"Valerie... why... why didn't you tell us about this sooner..."Charles stammered, trying to say something."I wanted to, but you never gave me a chance," Valerie said, a look of grievance flashing across her face."What..."Charles's vision darkened, and he staggered back a step!The shock from the message that Liam had sent, announcing the acquisition of Union Finance, had not yet worn off. And now, Valerie's words hit them like a depth charge, exploding violently in their hearts!The intense impact made the Hensworth family members tremble with shock!The charity foundation that caused such a stir in Qyn Province, whose listed medicine had captured the entire Hestian market in just three weeks, making it nearly impossible to obtain, was actually Liam's?The mysteriou
Everything, all of it, made the Hensworth family feel an inexplicable sensation!It seemed like the real reason behind the trouble faced by Union Finance was not the financial crash, but rather some targeted attack!The moment this thought crossed their minds, the Hensworth family members shuddered.The next moment, they suddenly looked up, their eyes filled with horror as they stared at Liam.They were not stupid!If there was any connection to everything happening, there could only be one answer!"Why are you all staring at me?"Feeling the eyes of the Hensworth family members on him, Liam was taken aback and asked, "Didn’t I already tell you about Union Finance’s situation?""Why are you still so shocked?"He looked at them with confusion."Kid..."Hearing Liam’s words, Sebastian's old face went pale, and for a moment, he seemed dazed!After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he stammered, "Union Finance... their situation... you... you..."Under the intense shock, Sebast
"You... what do you mean by that?"Upon hearing Liam's words, Sebastian was momentarily stunned. He had no idea what this young man was suddenly talking about!What did he mean by saying that once the bodyguards returned, Lloyd Group would cease to exist?Lloyd Group, which spanned across the entire Qyn Province with a powerful background, had been doing booming business lately. How could it just disappear like that?Sebastian knew that Liam’s idea was, in theory, quite good. After all, if Lloyd Group were to disappear, the Nosh family would suffer a huge blow, and they would have no time to cause trouble for them in the short term.However, the idea of Lloyd Group disappearing was nothing more than a beautiful fantasy. It was impossible!It was not just Sebastian.Charles and Janell were also stunned after hearing Liam’s words.To be honest, after experiencing the events earlier, their impression of Liam had already changed quite a bit.As the current head of the Hensworth fa
"Sigh…"Sebastian listened to Liam’s words, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed heavily before speaking, "But even if you want to take action, you should leave no trace!"Although he had not expected Liam to suddenly take such drastic measures, Sebastian still understood the situation to some extent. After all, even he, an old man, was so furious at Godfrey’s earlier words that he could barely contain himself. It was needless to say how someone like Liam, a young man, would feel!Moreover, Godfrey had been threatening Liam not long ago. But Sebastian still felt that Liam had not thought this through completely.Sebastian, after all, was the man who had built the Hensworth family’s foundation, and he had a certain ruthless streak in him. He believed that now that Liam had already taken action, he should not have let those two bodyguards go back."Leave no trace behind!" he thought. Even those two bodyguards should not be spared. Who knows, the truth of Godfrey’s death might s
"Ugh…"Godfrey's body shuddered, his eyes flashing with intense unwillingness. He struggled, as if trying to say something, but not a word escaped his lips.Finally—Bang!A dull thud echoed as Godfrey’s body slammed heavily onto the ground, lifeless.Even in his wildest dreams, he could not have imagined—In South City, someone would actually dare to kill him!In Godfrey's mind, with Union Finance's status in the Qyn Province, it was inconceivable that anyone would dare act against him. Liam had broken his leg earlier, which was already outrageous enough!Otherwise, he would not have arrogantly declared moments ago, threatening to grind Liam's bones to dust unless he fled immediately.Who could have guessed—From the very beginning, Liam had no intention of letting Godfrey go!What Union Finance?What powerful connections in Juneau?To Liam, none of that mattered in the slightest."What now?"Liam stood up, casually tossing the dagger to Bluebird before turning to face
In the very next moment…As soon as Charles and the others processed what was happening, they hurriedly turned to Liam, frantically urging, "Liam, you need to leave now! This time, you’ve really gotten yourself into trouble!"Even though Charles and his companions still had not figured out what exactly was going on in front of them, and they had no idea who the woman who suddenly appeared was or what her relationship with Liam might be, they were absolutely certain that this time, Liam had truly stirred up major trouble!Despite Liam and the mysterious woman who appeared behind him both displaying impressive skills, they were still only two people.When faced with United Financial, Liam wouldn’t stand a chance of resisting.Not to mention—breaking Godfrey’s leg had completely severed any chance of reconciliation with United Financial. With Godfrey’s vengeful nature, this would undoubtedly escalate to a fight to the death!In Charles’s eyes, Liam’s only option was to flee immedi
"Don’t! Don’t you dare interfere with me!"Sensing the bodyguards' movements, Godfrey suddenly snapped awake. His face twisted with fury, his eyes bloodshot as he roared, "Kill him for me! Kill him!"The searing pain in his leg distorted Godfrey's features, but none of it could mask the blazing anger inside him.He, Godfrey, had been beaten into this state by a mere useless ex-convict!Even the Lloyd Group, the former backer of that useless ex-convict, Liam, wouldn’t have dared to treat him this way!Who gave him the nerve to do this?At the instant Godfrey's order rang out, the two bodyguards who had initially rushed toward him abruptly turned around. They swiftly drew retractable batons from their waists and aimed them straight at Liam’s head!"Yes! Beat him to death for me! I want his skin peeled off!"Godfrey's body trembled as he screamed madly at the scene before him.However, just as the two batons were about to strike Liam from both sides...A flash of cold light strea
