Upon hearing those words, Serena paused slightly, a complex expression flashing across her cold and beautiful face. She had not expected Tobias to help her family. To make the Hill family change their mind, Tobias must have made quite an effort!"You've done us such a big favor, yet you didn't tell us in advance," Serena's voice softened a bit.Tobias continued over the phone. "It's only a small matter. Why fuss about it? Serena, I met your ex-husband, the one you mentioned to me many times before. I truly believe that leaving Liam was the best choice you ever made."Ever since that worthless fellow was released from prison, nothing has gone smoothly for your family. First, your mother and your brother were beaten up. Then, your father and relatives faced such a huge problem at the Hill family's annual gathering!"He's a recently released convict, and I can't fathom how he had the nerve to deceive the Hill family, dragging your family into it! If it weren't for me this time, what
Hailey's face was full of hurt. "Thinking about you marrying Liam, I regret it so much now! It's your poor brother I pity the most. He's still lying in a hospital bed!"Hearing the voices around her, Serena suddenly stood up and declared firmly, "I'm going to get an explanation from Liam! I can't let you suffer in vain!"With that, Serena left the hall with her phone in hand. She stood at the door as her face contorted angrily while dialing Liam's number.At the same time, Liam had just left the airport and was about to pass through a quiet alley ahead. His phone suddenly rang loudly.Taking out his phone, he froze when he saw the number. Serena's number had not changed. He recognized the string of digits that were etched in his memory.He paused for a moment before answering. "Hello. What's up?"The moment he answered, Serena's accusing voice came through."Liam! You know very well what’s up! Back then, you beat my brother and my mother so badly that they ended up in the hosp
"You said I should investigate my mother and brother's affairs further. Fine, I can do that. You claimed you were invited to the Hill family's annual meeting. I could even pretend to believe that, but saying that the Lloyd Group narrowly escaped disaster is pure nonsense! You're lying through your teeth!"Serena's voice was filled with resentment. "If it weren't for Mister Corona's help, the Hill family would have already held us accountable! Liam, it's only been a few years. How did you become like this? If you don't have money, I can help you, but you can't become a hypocrite who shirks all responsibility!"Liam froze upon hearing her words. He frowned deeply."When did Tobias help the Lloyd Group?"Serena's anger flared. "When? Of course, it was after we offended the Hill family because of you! Mister Corona helped to restore our cooperation with them!"Liam squinted coldly. "Tobias Corona…"He had not expected it. Tobias dared to take credit for things he had not done!Liam
Serpentine smiled sinisterly, licking his lips. "Triboar, don't be so worried. I know my limits. Even if he stood still, I wouldn't kill him. At most, I'd just slice off an ear!"The short, stout man named Triboar frowned. "Stop playing around! We've followed this kid all the way. Now that he's finally left the Hill family's territory, we should seize the opportunity and take him back as soon as possible.""Alright, alright!" Serpentine replied impatiently.He turned his head, his eyes cold as he looked at Liam.Serpentine seemed ready to say something. "You—"However, before he could finish his sentence, he was abruptly interrupted."This morning, the people in the car following me from the Everluster Pavilion must've been you two. Tell me, how do you want to die?"Liam was indifferent as he stared at Serpentine and Triboar as if they were already dead.Liam had noticed the car following them when they left the Everluster Pavilion earlier that day. Since he was with several me
In Serpentine's eyes, Liam was simply asking for trouble!Even before they made a move, they had already carefully observed Liam. His slender and frail figure made it clear he was no match for them. Despite possessing some medical skills, he was nothing more than a powerless young doctor. He could not pose any threat to them. Sending Serpentine and Triboar out on that mission was complete overkill!Nevertheless, Serpentine could understand. After all, their boss had been plotting against the Hill family for a long time.According to their initial plan, Julian should have succumbed to the poison long ago after it was administered. However, they had not heard any news of Julian's death, which worried their boss.The young man in front of them, who the Hill family most likely invited to treat the illness, was probably one of the few who knew Julian's physical condition!However, it was also evident that Julian's health was probably not optimistic. Otherwise, the Hill family would
Serpentine lived up to his name.Like a snake, he was cold, agile, and slippery. Each of his attacks was viciously lethal.Most people could not keep up with Serpentine's speed.Countless individuals found themselves stuck due to his advantage in speed, with no way to escape, ultimately meeting their demise under his dagger.In Serpentine's mind, this time would be no different!However, in a split second, the dagger, gleaming with cold light, was about to pierce Liam's body at a peculiar angle."You fool!"Serpentine's eyes were full of disdain! It seemed he could already envision Liam writhing in pain and crying out as he fell under the blade.However, a panicked cry suddenly came from behind Serpentine."Watch out!"Triboar widened his eyes, looking terrified.A shiver ran down Serpentine's spine. A sense of impending doom instantly washed over him!Meanwhile, an indifferent voice slowly echoed from behind Serpentine."Who told you I was going to dodge?"At some point,
A crisp sound echoed, and a crack suddenly appeared on the side of the stainless steel dagger.Liam curled his fingers into a fist and exerted force again. "One Inch Punch!"Crack!The dagger bent and deformed instantly, and the crack extended out. The dagger could not withstand the tremendous force, snapping into two halves.One half of the dagger flew straight from Liam's hand and pierced into the nearby wall.Serpentine gasped in shock when he saw that the other half of the dagger was deeply embedded in the wall. His body began to tremble uncontrollably."This... How is this possible?"A single punch shattered the stainless steel dagger. Was he human?Fear surged in Serpentine's heart. It seemed like they had picked the wrong opponent. The seemingly frail young man in front of them must be a terrifying existence."Do you fancy daggers?" Liam asked.His voice was indifferent, but it filled Serpentine with boundless terror."Not... Not really..."Serpentine seemed to want
"Please just listen to me! There must be some misunderstanding!" Triboar trembled, nearly falling to his knees. He waved his hands frantically, attempting to explain."We came to find you not to cause any trouble but simply to inquire about Julian's health. If you're unwilling to talk, we won't force you..."Liam looked amused as he gazed at Triboar. "You weren't quite like this at the beginning.""That was my mistake! I truly regret it! It's all because of our incompetence! You must possess extraordinary medical skills to be able to diagnose Julian's poisoning. A compassionate healer like yourself, I beg of you, spare me! If you spare me, I promise I'll devote myself to good deeds, and I won't offend anyone ever again!"Triboar pleaded bitterly, his entire body trembling continuously. However, one of his hands remained behind his back as he spoke.Liam shook his head. "While I do possess medical skills, don't mistake me for a compassionate healer. That's a role I can't fulfill
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
"Then give it a try."Sam chuckled and agreed, "I just didn't expect that one day, our Lloyd Group would choose to save that worthless Liam!""Alright."Hearing the voices around her, Hailey also nodded in agreement.However, soon, she seemed to recall something, turned to look at Serena, and asked, "But do we really have the ability to get someone out of the military's hands?""Yes."Hearing this, Serena gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with determination."If you might have a way, then go ahead and try."Seeing this, Hailey said no more and waved her hand."I just hope we don't go through all this trouble, only for that ungrateful Liam to turn his back on us!""Mom, don't worry, that won't happen!"Serena shook her head.Immediately, she turned around and quickly left the Lloyd family mansion.Not long after, Serena returned to her office at Lloyd Group.She hurriedly made her way to her desk and started searching through a pile of documents.When she finally spott
"I…" Seeing this scene, Serena's body froze abruptly, trembling slightly out of anxiety.She desperately wanted to understand the situation immediately and help Liam.However, the situation in front of her made it clear that rushing off alone to save Liam was definitely not an option!"Phew…"Serena took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.Was there any way to convince the members of the Lloyd family to help Liam?The next moment, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something."Mom, it's not that I care about Liam, but if we want to collaborate with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation on the White Glycoside Cream project, Liam cannot be in trouble!"Serena raised her head and looked at Hailey."What does our Lloyd Group's collaboration with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation have to do with that useless Liam?"Hailey frowned deeply."Mom! Think about Liam's relationship with Lucy, and you'll understand!"Serena hurriedly replied, "When you were discu
"We really don't know."Sam shook his head, but soon, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face. "But that useless Liam struts around deceiving people all day long. Maybe that's why he got into trouble with the military!""That's actually possible!" Hailey's face flashed with realization and mockery. "Looks like he's finally getting what he deserves!""Exactly!""The military isn't like us—they won't tolerate that useless Liam."Charice, standing in the back, let out a cold laugh. "Just seeing him boast and spew nonsense all day, it was obvious he'd end up like this sooner or later!""Hahaha!""Right, he's just getting what he asked for!""Serves him right for showing off in front of us all the time—he's practically asking for it!"…Inside the Lloyd family mansion, a series of schadenfreude-laden laughs echoed. Everyone from the Lloyd family started mocking Liam one after another.Among them, Etchen's voice was the most grating!However, just as the Lloyd family members were
Hailey froze for a moment, then immediately frowned. Biting her teeth in frustration, she snapped, "What the hell is going on with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation?" "A project this big, with such high profits, and they didn't even inform us? We didn't even know about the launch of the White Glycoside Cream!"And now, they won't even let us in? The Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation has gone too far!" Hailey was seething with resentment. "They really have overstepped!" Standing beside her, Sam also wore a dark expression. Other members of the Lloyd family started cursing as well. None of them had expected the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to treat the Lloyd Group this way! However… In contrast to the growing anger around her, Serena remained calm, standing silently at the back. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the way the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had handled things. She had discussed this matter with the Lloyd family mem
