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
"I have no idea," Ronald said as he shook his head."Forget it. If we can't stay, we will just leave," Hailey said."Staying in a regular ward won't make much of a difference. The director, Mister Lopez, has already arranged a doctor for us!" Hailey's eyes darted around as she came up with another idea. "Ronald, do you think we might have a chance to meet the VIP staying in the intensive care unit of this hospital?""We'll see about that," Ronald said, shaking his head. Despite the considerable status of the Lloyd family, staying in the same hospital as the big shot in the special care ward did not necessarily guarantee a meeting. However, he did not voice these thoughts to Hailey. "Right now, the most important thing is to get you and Ethen treated!""There sure have been a lot of big shots from the capital lately," Hailey muttered.Speaking of big shots from the provincial capital, she could not help but recall the dozen or so Maybachs with provincial license plates parked d
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
Originally filled with rage and even thoughts of perishing together with his opponent, Yeti suddenly calmed down.As always, as long as he saw Grandmaster Burrey, Yeti felt that all the difficulties in the world were no longer a problem.While chatting with Liam, Yeti obediently applied the White Lianxin Frost Ointment to his wounds."Hiss…"Due to the numerous wounds on his body, the sudden sting from the medication made him suck in a breath of cold air."If you're in such a hurry, you might as well go die!"Seeing this, Liam frowned even more. He shook his head, waving his hand at Yeti with disdain."Alright, get out of here and heal up!""Yes!"The moment he heard Liam's words, Yeti, who was previously willing to die rather than step down, immediately turned around and leaped off the ring.When following Grandmaster Burrey's orders, Yeti was unbelievably obedient!"What right do you have to let my opponent leave the ring?"Baeron, who had been completely ignored by the m
