The weight on her heart lifted, and Serena's voice became noticeably lighter as she changed the topic, mentioning someone else, "The person we should really thank for all of this is Liam.""Liam?"Hearing that unforgettable name, Ronald was momentarily stunned! His heart filled with confusion. How could Liam be involved in something as intricate as the patients' treatment?"Although I wasn’t qualified to meet Grandmaster Burrey at the time, I did get to meet Liam," Serena continued, disregarding Ronald's reaction. A brilliant smile appeared on her beautiful face. "I never expected that Liam would help me ask Grandmaster Burrey to step forward and treat the patients. Without him, none of this would have been possible!""This really happened?"Ronald’s brows furrowed deeply. Initially, he had wanted to question this, but given the current situation and his lack of involvement, he swallowed his doubts."So, does that mean…"Just then, Etchen’s voice suddenly interrupted, "Serena do
Hailey felt utterly stifled inside.Fabian’s slap just now was incredibly harsh!Even now, Hailey still felt a bit dizzy.Her teeth on one side even seemed like they might fall out. But everything happening right now told Hailey that she had taken that slap for nothing!"Mom? About the compensation we mentioned earlier, have you thought it over?"Seeing that Hailey had not spoken, Serena spoke up again."Enough! Don’t ask your mother!" However, before Hailey could respond, Ronald’s voice rang out. "There’s no problem at all with the compensation we discussed back at home!"As long as the patients' families are willing to forgive our Lloyd Group, offering more compensation is only right!"With a wave of his hand, he looked at Hailey and asked, "Hailey, you agree with all of this, don’t you?"Ronald understood the urgency of the situation.Now that the hospitalized patients were found to be healed, the other members of the Lloyd family could finally breathe a sigh of relief.W
"Mom, why not?"Seeing this, Serena’s face showed a hint of confusion as she spoke, "Don’t worry, I won’t touch your reserve funds. I’m just temporarily withdrawing my own…"Serena understood Hailey’s and the others’ temperament.So when she first brought up the reserve funds, she only mentioned her own portion. She would not touch Hailey’s money."That’s still not okay!"At these words, Hailey waved her hand more adamantly. "The reserve fund is our safety net and can’t be used recklessly! Even if it’s your money, withdrawing it on a whim would be a waste if something happened to the company!""Yes, Serena, maybe it’s best not to use that money right now…"Ronald, standing by, quickly spoke to persuade her as well.They were very anxious, especially Hailey, who insisted that it was for Serena’s own good.In truth, though, they were afraid that if Serena withdrew her own reserve fund, she would find out they had already secretly taken out theirs!If Lloyd Group were really fac
"What kind of power does that Grandmaster Burrey actually possess…?"A glint of curiosity flashed through Serena’s eyes. She could not quite grasp the abilities of this mysterious head of the Medical Guild, whom she had never met. Not only did he heal the patients' ailments, but he also left a profound impact on the patients' families!Moreover…According to the families’ descriptions, after Grandmaster Burrey cured the patients, he even reminded them to treat their family members better and spoke of providing compensation. She could not understand why Grandmaster Burrey would go out of his way to help her without even meeting her! Was it only because Liam had pleaded with him to intervene and lend her a hand?All of this only fueled Serena's curiosity about the enigmatic leader of the Medical Guild.But now was not the time to dwell on such thoughts."You all are willing to forgive our Lloyd Group…"She turned, ready to say something to Fabian and the patient families."Sere
After entering the ICU.Observing the patient's condition up close again, Serena could not help but pause.Whether it was the numbers on the monitor beside her or the state of the patients, everything seemed to be quite stable.It was clear: they were indeed out of life-threatening danger!This realization allowed Serena to relax a little.However, the sight of the exposed skin on the patients, marred with chilling scars and raw, festering wounds, brought a flash of heartbreak to her eyes.Just by looking at their condition alone…Even if their lives had been saved, their futures were likely completely shattered!"Damn!"Even Etchen, who had trailed behind, was taken aback by the scene before him.However, instead of showing remorse, he frowned and muttered in disgust, "That’s so gross!"Seeing this, Liam shot Etchen a fierce glare.Even he looked shocked after seeing the state of the patients!At that moment, the entire Lloyd family truly understood the suffering these pat
Even until now, Serena still did not understand why Liam lied about curing a patient!However, after Liam brought in Grandmaster Burrey to treat the patient, it truly saved her life!Therefore, Serena’s feelings toward Liam were extremely complicated. Not to mention the other emotions.But this time, Serena really needed to thank Liam properly!"So, Miss Lloyd, you don’t need to worry anymore."Just as Serena was lost in thought, Fabian’s voice rang out again. He wore a relaxed smile as he spoke to Serena, "Grandmaster Burrey has already taken care of everything else for us!""This time, we should thank you for bringing in Grandmaster Burrey."As he spoke, Fabian’s eyes were filled with seriousness."No…"Hearing this, Serena was about to wave her hand to indicate that this had little to do with her.However, the next moment, she paused, shook her head, and smiled as she said, "As long as your family recovers, that’s all that matters."Then, after expressing her concern to t
"Recently, has Ingram Group contacted you?"Ronald furrowed his brows tightly.Mentioning the Ingram Group, which had caused the Lloyd Group to fall to its current state, made Ronald feel a surge of anger!"A while ago, Hicks called me, but I didn’t answer at all!"Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Etchen's face. He spoke up, his voice raised in fury, "I can’t understand it; after they’ve ruined me to this extent, how can they still have the nerve to call me?""What are you thinking?"Upon hearing Etchen’s words, Ronald was momentarily stunned.A flicker of irritation passed through his gaze as he looked at Etchen, "Now that it has come to this, how can you not answer Ingram Group’s call? They must be wanting to discuss how to resolve all of this!""Resolve the issue? They’ve already harmed me like this, and now they want to ask me how to resolve it?"Etchen expressed his grievance, "How could I possibly answer his call?""You… Although Ingram Group has pushed all t
"You..."Seeing this, Etchen's face flashed with anger!Serena's performance clearly indicated that she was the one truly in charge of the Lloyd Group.This left Etchen quite stimulated!However, he also knew that the current situation was complicated. If he truly lost his temper, it was likely that the other members of the Lloyd family wouldn't side with him either.With a darkened face, Etchen handed his phone to Serena.Serena was unaware of Etchen's thoughts in that brief moment; she did not even think that much.For Serena, she simply wanted to know why Hicks was looking for her at this time!"Hello!"Taking the call, Serena frowned and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"Although Ronald had mentioned the situation regarding Hicks earlier, the best way to handle it now was for both parties to cooperate and see how they could get through this crisis.However, when it came to the culprit that had forced the Lloyd Group into this dead end, Serena couldn't affo
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
