Her expression gradually became stronger!No matter what she had gone through, in the end, she could only rely on herself.After hearing what Liam had just said, Serena no longer wanted to continue confiding in him. She once again transformed into the proud CEO of the Lloyd Group.The last hope for the patients in the hospital had already been shattered.She knew that, ultimately, she would have to face everything that was about to happen!But no matter what the future held, Serena believed that she would be able to face it!Even if it meant facing an abyss!“I’ll be leaving now.”After speaking, she turned around, ready to leave the room.However, just as she was about to exit, she slowly stopped in her tracks.“No matter what you meant by those words earlier, or whether you were just trying to make me feel better, all of this is truly hard to accept!”“In the future, I really hope you’ll change and get rid of those bad habits you brought out from prison.”Then, Serena’s cl
After Serena left, Liam sat quietly at the dining table for a while.Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number."Help me look into the recent activities of Lloyd Group and Etchen," he said calmly to the person on the other end of the line. "Also, I want all the details on Ingram Group within the next 20 minutes."After giving the instructions, Liam hung up the phone.A chilling glint flashed across his handsome face.Meanwhile, Serena had already returned to the Lloyd family residence."What? You’re saying that the patients in the hospital are beyond saving?"As soon as Serena’s words hit her ears, Hailey’s eyes widened in shock."All these days of running around, and this is the result you’ve come up with?"She glared at Serena, scolding her harshly, "Serena, have you even been taking this seriously? Do you want to see Lloyd Group completely ruined before you're satisfied?""Mom… I didn’t!" Serena trembled at her mother's words, lowering her voice. "In the past few day
"What? Did I say something wrong?"Serena's expression remained cold and emotionless.In the face of Lloyd Group's impending disaster, she finally stopped indulging Etchen!"You..."Etchen glared at Serena, his body trembling."Mom! Look at Serena! She’s the one who’s incompetent, yet she’s pushing all the blame onto me!"The next moment, he quickly turned his head and complained to Hailey, "Our Lloyd Group is about to be finished, and she’s still taking our money to compensate those patients!""Serena, what exactly are you thinking this time?"Hailey glared at Serena with a grim expression. "Our family can barely survive, and you're still worrying about those so-called patients?"And why are you talking to your brother like that! Who's really your family?"Her voice was icy."Mom, if you went to the hospital and saw the condition of those patients, you would understand the immense suffering they’ve endured."Upon hearing this, Serena lowered her head and said, "Even if Llo
"The patients have suffered so much, and their families have been tormented even more. Do you think just kneeling down to apologize will work?"Serena turned her head, looking coldly at Etchen."How would you know if you don't try?"Etchen sneered and responded."Yeah, Serena, I also think this might be a way to show our sincerity. It's much more reliable than just offering compensation."At that moment, Hailey's voice suddenly chimed in. She no longer seemed angry but instead smiled as she looked at Serena. "Why don't we give it a try?""Mom, how do we try?"Hearing this, Serena frowned and asked, "Are we going to have the whole Lloyd family kneel down and apologize to the patients' families at the hospital?""Who said anything about the whole family?"Upon hearing Serena’s words, Etchen curled his lips in disdain. "This is your responsibility. Of course, you should go alone!""Etchen, watch your mouth!"Hailey turned her head and pretended to glare at Etchen.Then, she tu
Hearing this, Etchen sneered and shook his head, "You were the one who said earlier that you tried everything and nothing worked.""Now we've found another solution for you. Instead of thanking us, you're asking what we should do?"He glanced at Serena, his face full of disdain."Etchen, your sister is doing this for the good of Lloyd Group. You can't talk to her like that!"Seeing this, Hailey waved her hand to interrupt Etchen. She then turned her head back to Serena and said, "I think kneeling down and apologizing would really show our sincerity!""If the patient's family understands us and accepts our apology, we should follow what you said and give them some compensation, to win more forgiveness!""In this way, it would be good for Lloyd Group! Who knows, because of their forgiveness, Lloyd Group might be able to get through this crisis."Hailey spoke earnestly."But if even kneeling down and apologizing can't win their forgiveness, then I think no matter what we do, they
"Then let's go."After hearing Hailey's words, Serena no longer paid attention to the other members of the Lloyd family. She stood up directly and walked straight out the door."Hey, how could you..."Seeing this, Etchen's eyes widened in an instant, and he was about to scold Serena!"Enough! At this point, there's no need to push it any further!"However, before Etchen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ronald.Ronald gave Etchen a disapproving glance and said, "Don't forget who caused this whole mess in the first place!""Dad..."Hearing this, Etchen was momentarily stunned.However, after speaking, Ronald didn't bother with Etchen anymore. He took a few steps and also left the Lloyd family home."Your father is already upset with you over the trouble you've caused this time, so you'd better not provoke him any further," Hailey said, casting a glance at Etchen."Fine..."Etchen pouted, clearly showing his displeasure."Mom, it would be enough to have Serena kn
Etchen was a bit angry. He spoke with a face full of complaints. "What do these recent problems have to do with me? It’s all because the partners are unreliable!"He never thought the issue was with him."Enough, let’s not talk about this anymore!"Hailey interrupted Etchen's words, saying, "Right now, the most important thing is to see what happens after Serena apologizes.""Let's hurry up and go. We don't want to leave too late and not be able to find the place!"After finishing her words, Hailey quickly took a step and followed the others out.Even though this incident was caused by Etchen and Hailey, to this day, they hadn't visited the patients.Not even once!Soon, the Lloyd family arrived at Golden Cross Hospital.“Hmph…”Looking at the hospital in front of her, Hailey snorted coldly.Clearly, the sight of the hospital reminded her of a painful memory.However, Hailey also knew that now was not the time to hesitate over such a trivial matter.Led by Serena, the Lloy
"If I’d known it would be this dangerous, I wouldn’t have come along…"Etchen glanced at the tense atmosphere up ahead and mumbled softly."We’re already at the hospital, so let’s not talk about this anymore!"Hailey turned to look at Etchen.To be honest, though, even she felt a bit of regret now.Especially after hearing what Ronald and Serena just said, Hailey realized that agreeing to Serena’s request for the whole Lloyd family to come might not have been the wisest choice.If something unfortunate were to happen due to the impulsive actions of the patient's relatives, the outcome really would not be worth it. Compared to the relatives, their lives were clearly more valuable.As Hailey considered all of this, she did not give a thought to the immense pressure Serena faced when she came alone to handle the issue."Everyone, let’s stay alert and act as the situation demands!"She exhaled deeply, lifted her head, and looked ahead with a tense expression.As she spoke, they w
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
Gabriel clearly wanted to say something more.But when he saw Liam turn his head and glance at him calmly, he froze instantly and quickly shut his mouth.Gabriel did not dare to continue arguing with Grandmaster Burrey.Even though he stopped speaking, his thoughts remained unchanged.The matter regarding the Bastion Squad was definitely not that simple.Moreover, Grandmaster Burrey was seeing things too simply, but Gabriel did not mind.After all, from the beginning, he had not expected to find a real solution to the problem from Grandmaster Burrey.After all, Grandmaster Burrey was not part of the military, so it was natural that his suggestions were impractical.Just being able to learn from Grandmaster Burrey that Bluebird was still alive was already a gain.As for bringing Bluebird back or dealing with him, Gabriel had not even considered it!The moment he realized that Bluebird had chosen to follow Liam, he decided not to ask a single question more about it.In fact, h
He looked at Gabriel and responded calmly."Well..."Hearing this, Gabriel was suddenly stunned.The next moment, a bitter smile flashed across his face."That's true, but Grandmaster Burrey..." Gabriel sighed helplessly. "The problem really isn't that simple. The method you mentioned—I've actually considered it too."But no one knows where the Bastion Squad is now. Since they raised this issue with the Hestia military, it clearly means the problem hasn't been resolved, and they definitely won't show up."I also heard that the captain of the Bastion Squad, Benedict, seems to have passed away due to some issues related to Bluebird."With all these factors, even if we go through a lot of trouble to find the members of the Bastion Squad, they might not cooperate with us."Not to mention, we don't even have any leads on them."At this moment, he finally understood why Grandmaster Burrey seemed so indifferent.The method Grandmaster Burrey proposed was indeed good, but to actually
"I'm afraid they also want to come to the Central Military Region to get detailed information about the situation."A trace of concern flashed across Gabriel's face.Events involving the entire army were always grand, and the preparations had to be thorough.However, the sudden advancement of the instructor exchange meeting would definitely disrupt many of his original plans.Most importantly— All of this also involved Bluebird.Gabriel initially did not know the specific situation. Now, seeing that Bluebird was indeed still alive made things even more complicated for him.The incident happened suddenly, and the preparations were insufficient. For a moment, Gabriel didn't know how to continue covering up the matter about Bluebird.After all—The news of Bluebird's death directly led to the Western Military Region being penalized, and even the Bastion Squad was expelled from the army!If Bluebird was not dead, and such a huge misunderstanding had occurred, the other war zones
Is all of this real or fake?"Commander Warren."Bluebird looked at Gabriel, his voice cold and calm, and nodded slightly.Compared to before, Bluebird's attitude towards Gabriel had noticeably changed.If, in the past, Bluebird's attitude towards Gabriel was like that of a subordinate to a superior in the military, then now, although she still showed respect, that sense of duty-bound obedience was gone.Because Bluebird knew very well who she was serving now!"You're really not dead..."Hearing Bluebird's admission, a flash of utter shock crossed Gabriel's eyes.In the next moment."Grand... Grandmaster Burrey..."His eyes trembled as he looked at Liam, his voice so dry due to the shock that it came out strained.Gabriel was well aware of how severe Bluebird's injuries were at that time.It could be said that everyone present had basically declared Bluebird's death.When they returned to the temporary base of the Nine Nether Squad, it was merely to fulfill Bluebird's last
At the same time…Liam was completely unaware of everything happening in South City.He also had no idea that, due to some misunderstandings, Willow was already furious and seeking help to rescue him from the Central Military Region.At this moment, he had already arrived at the Southern Military Region and met with Gabriel, who was overwhelmed with work."Grandmaster Burrey, please don't blame me for not coming to greet you…"Noticing Liam's arrival, Gabriel forced a bitter smile. After glancing at the documents in his hand, he said helplessly, "I received an unexpected notice, and I really couldn't get away…"It was clear that Gabriel genuinely felt guilty about not being able to greet Grandmaster Burrey in person.Even now, having already met Liam, he was still busy explaining himself."No need."Liam shook his head calmly.He did not care about any of this.What Liam was concerned about was the matter regarding Bluebird that Gabriel mentioned over the phone."Go ahead.
"So, Miss Lloyd, you mean to ask me to get someone out of the military for you?"Hearing Serena's words, Kenton was stunned for a moment."Mister Welford, what's wrong?"Serena's voice suddenly became flustered. "Is it a bit difficult?""From what you're saying, the unit that took the person should belong to the Central Military Region, which is different from our Western Military Region."Kenton hesitated. "Crossing war zones is indeed a bit troublesome…""Mister Welford, you must help me!"Upon hearing this, Serena grew even more anxious. "We can pay, as long as you can rescue him…"However, before she could finish, Kenton's voice interrupted."But how could I refuse a beauty's request!" Kenton chuckled heartily. "Don't worry, even if it's difficult, I can handle it. Coincidentally, I'm in South City lately. Even the commander of the Central Military Region has to give me some face!""Just give me the details about your friend and wait for my news."His voice was full of co
