"That's it?"As soon as Liam's words fell, Jarso immediately frowned."Overindulgence in alcohol and women?"Lilian's eyes widened as she sized up Liam suspiciously before speaking, "Our Ben doesn't have any bad habits like that! How could he have issues from overindulgence? Doctor Liam, why don’t you take another look at Ben?""Exactly, Doctor Liam!"Following Lilian's words, Jarso waved his hand and said again, "Other traditional doctors use different methods when diagnosing. You only checked Ben's pulse and already reached a conclusion? Is your diagnosis even accurate?""Yeah! How could a little overindulgence cause Ben to be unable to have children!"Lilian's voice rang out again, "Doctor Liam, I think there's a problem with your diagnosis. How about you take another look at Ben?""Heh..."Listening to Lilian and Jarso's words, Liam chuckled.He raised his head and looked at the two in front of him, then spoke, "Since you both seem to speak so confidently, as if you're ex
To be honest, Liam had encountered plenty of people over the years. But this was his first time meeting such bizarre individuals like Jarso and Lilian!"Would you only be satisfied if I diagnosed your son with a terminal illness, leaving him infertile for life?" Liam narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lilian."Just because we call you 'Divine Doctor Liam,' do you really think you're someone important?" Lilian straightened up immediately after hearing Liam's words. Her sharp face was full of rage. "Who do you think you are, daring to curse my son? Are you tired of living?"Faced with this scene, Liam chuckled and, not wanting to engage further with Lilian, turned to leave. After all, he was currently in the villa district where Yvonne's family lived. The neighbors saw each other often. Liam did not want to cause unnecessary trouble and affect the adorable little girl.However, just as he was about to leave, someone did not want to let him go!"Do you know who I am?" Jarso's expressi
Although Jarso had not interacted much with Wendy's family and did not know exactly what kind of business they were in, living in the same villa district gave him some understanding of her background.He knew that Wendy's family lived in the best location within the villa district, residing in the largest villa. Their wealth was extraordinary!Moreover, unlike himself and Lilian, Harris was known for his generous and extravagant spending. Even their neighbors in the villa district were often left in awe after witnessing Harris's lavish gestures. And for someone like that, to have his daughter cured...Jarso did not need to think twice. The reward Harris would give to Liam was bound to be substantial!Even Jarso could not help but feel a bit tempted at the thought of such a valuable reward."Heh…"Upon hearing Jarso's words, Liam revealed a playful smile. He had truly underestimated how brazen Jarso was.Initially, Liam had intended to act directly, but now he was a bit more incl
Even the way they flew was remarkably similar!"Ugh—" Jarso crashed heavily into the wall behind him, spitting out a mouthful of blood!"You damned brat! What are you doing?!"At the sight of this scene, Lilian's face twisted with madness. She rushed toward Liam, intending to punch and kick him!However, before she could even reach him...Smack!The sound of a slap suddenly rang out.Liam raised his hand and slapped Lilian hard across the face!Compared to the slap he had given Jarso, this one was much lighter.Even so..."You..."Lilian was still stunned, standing there in shock, as if she couldn't believe what had just happened!It was not over!Smack!Liam raised his hand again and slapped Lilian on the other side of her face.Lilian's once harsh and mean face was now visibly swollen, but strangely enough, she looked much more agreeable with her cheeks red and swollen.After slapping Lilian silly, Liam calmly turned his head toward Ben, who stood frozen in place, and
Jarso never expected that Liam would actually dare to come back. And not only that.He even gave him time to call for reinforcements!However, soon enough, a cold sneer flashed across Jarso's face."You little brat, you've got some guts, huh!"His eyes were filled with malice as he smirked and said, "Since you don't want to leave, then stay put. Let's see if your mouth is still as tough in a bit!"After saying that, Jarso made a call.He usually did not bring his men when he came home. That was why, just now, Jarso himself had directly attacked Liam!However, not bringing his men did not mean that the little brat in front of him had any right to act out or spout nonsense in his presence!Since he had the audacity to dig his own grave by arrogantly allowing Jarso to call for backup!Well, Jarso certainly could not let Liam down!When the reinforcements finally arrived!Jarso had a thousand ways to make the brat in front of him kneel and beg for mercy!He just hoped that this
Jarso and Ben also struggled to get up, hurriedly retreating to the corner of the room."Damn it! Keep acting tough for a little longer, just wait, I'll skin you alive!"After squatting down, Jarso's face twisted into a savage sneer.A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him.At the moment, there was no one in the villa who could take on Liam.So, they were only biding their time, waiting for reinforcements to arrive!However, if hatred could kill, Liam would've been chopped into a thousand pieces by now!At the moment, though, Liam did not even spare a glance at the three huddling quietly in the corner."You said your husband controls a tenth of the underground scene in the province capital, so I'll take that seriously."He pulled out his phone, muttering quietly to himself while sending a message.The reason Liam was still lingering at Jarso's house, apart from wanting to toy with him a bit more, was another matter entirely.Not long ago, Liam had received a r
Soon, a group of men in suits surged into the villa!Leading the group was a man with glasses, his frame slightly thin. The moment he stepped into the villa, he spotted Jarso crouching in the corner.The man's expression shifted, and he quickly strode forward!"Mister Jarso! Are you alright?"Rushing to Jarso's side, the man with glasses hurriedly extended his hand to help him up."Where the hell have you guys been?" Jarso cursed as he struggled to his feet, trembling."Mister Jarso, we deeply apologize, we came as fast as we could!" The man with glasses quickly apologized upon hearing Jarso's words.In the next moment, a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes. "Who dares show such disrespect to Mister Jarso? We'll skin them alive!"Hearing this, Jarso slowly raised his head and cast a dark gaze toward Liam, who was seated on the sofa.The man with glasses noticed Jarso's movement and followed his line of sight.As soon as he laid eyes on Liam, sitting calmly on the sofa, the
"I'm not staying silent."At that moment, Liam's voice finally broke the silence.He tilted his head slightly, looking at the crowd ahead, and sighed softly, "I'm just a little disappointed."If I had known earlier that the so-called tenth of the provincial capital's underworld that you've taken over was just this unimpressive, I wouldn't have waited for you all."What a waste of the message I just sent."Liam shook his head, a look of regret crossing his handsome face. "And an even bigger waste of my time."Forget it, let's leave it at that."As he spoke, he slowly stood up.Boom—An overwhelming aura, like a tidal wave, erupted from Liam's body!In an instant, the temperature in the entire room seemed to drop a few degrees.At the same time, a blurred figure holding a dagger slowly appeared beside Liam."What's going on…"Noticing this, Jarso's body trembled, and a hint of nervousness flashed across his face.It was not just him. Everyone in the villa, including the man
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
