She wanted to see what Hicks's true intentions were!"Actually, there’s nothing much to it. We’re just helping the Lloyd Group out of their impending bankruptcy. You guys from the Lloyd Group just need to hand over fifty one percent of your shares to me; that’s not too much to ask, is it?"Hicks chuckled, his voice suddenly taking on a more lewd tone. "Also, I might need Miss Lloyd to accompany me for a few memorable nights together."While he claimed it was nothing, the implications of his words were increasingly outrageous! Not only did he want actual control of the Lloyd Group, but he also wanted to sleep with Serena!"What kind of dream are you having!"As soon as Serena heard Hicks’s words, her cold voice rang out directly."Miss Lloyd, you need to think this through!"Upon hearing Serena's firm rejection, Hicks froze for a moment, then spoke with a hint of threat: "If you don’t agree to my terms, the Lloyd Group could be finished…"Beep beep beep—However, Serena did not
"I told you we shouldn’t have answered that ridiculous call from Hicks!"Seeing the scene before him, Etchen raised his head proudly and said, "Just look at someone like him; he’s clearly no good!""You know he’s not a good person, yet you still cooperate with him?"Hearing Etchen’s words, Ronald was even more furious."Sigh…"Serena let out a gentle sigh.She did not want to pay attention to Etchen’s other matters.From the looks of it, Ingram Group had ulterior motives.In fact, in some of her speculations, everything the Lloyd Group was currently facing was closely related to Ingram Group!However, the Lloyd family simply could not hold Ingram Group accountable at the moment!Not only because the Lloyd Group had a multitude of pressing issues to handle, but also because, given the current strength of the Lloyd family, they were no match for Ingram Group!Ultimately, Serena could only express her anger in her almond-shaped eyes and curse, "Ingram Group’s actions will surel
"Their audacity truly knows no bounds!"The cold glint in Liam's eyes was piercing and bone-chilling. The Lloyd Group’s reputation in traditional Hestian medicine had been tarnished because of the tactics of the Ingram Group. And their blatant moves to take over Lloyd Group were absolutely shameless."Send me the address for the Ingram Group," Liam said in a low, measured tone."The headquarters of Ingram Group is located at the Ingram Tower on Joytrade Street in South City," Nathaniel respectfully reported. "The chairman of Ingram Group, Hicks Ingram, is one of the primary backers of the South City the Black Hand Syndicate, and through this gang, Hicks has been involved in numerous projects.""Grandmaster Burrey, if you want to take action against Ingram Group, just command us. With the power of the Fowler Society, we could uproot Ingram Group along with the Black Hand Syndicate in less than three days," Nathaniel added confidently.In the past, Fowler Society, the Black Hand Syn
Bluebird stood expressionless, clutching a dagger as she looked down at the guards writhing in pain on the ground, her gaze indifferent. What she had just done felt to her like nothing more than stepping on an ant.However, when Bluebird glanced at her dagger, a slight frown appeared on her face. Her slender fingers held the blade, which had already started to wear down after being used for so long. Even in the hands of a martial arts grandmaster, this dagger was beginning to show its limits."When there’s a chance, I’ll get you a blade that doesn’t dull," said Liam, his tall and upright figure passing by Bluebird, his voice calm yet gentle. He continued forward, heading straight toward the Ingram Tower, without even sparing a glance at the guards beside him.Upon hearing Liam's voice, Bluebird narrowed her eyes and let out a silent, radiant smile.At the same time, as Liam entered Ingram Tower, on the 39th floor in the president's office of Ingram Group, Hicks was in a fit of ra
"This Grandmaster Burrey seems so mysterious. I've arranged for an investigation with everything I've got, but there's no information at all…" The subordinate lowered his head, trembling with fear."Find him! Get him for me!" Hicks’s expression darkened even further as he growled, "If our Ingram Group can't find him, then let the Black Hand Syndicate look! We must find that bastard who dared ruin my plans!"I want him to know what happens to anyone who dares to mess with the Ingram Group!"And anyone who dares to help that b***h Serena—I'll skin them alive!" he roared furiously.Hicks was on the brink of losing control; his carefully laid plan against the Lloyd Group had been ruined, and now all he wanted was to find the culprit and exact his revenge!Just then…Bang!A loud crash sounded! The office door flew open, slamming against the wall and leaving a deep dent!Hicks jumped in shock at the sudden noise."Who the hell dares to come here to die?!"However, soon, Hicks reco
Hicks glanced toward the doorway. Apart from the young man in front of him and the stunning woman holding a dagger, there was no one else who had come to Ingram Group.He narrowed his eyes slightly. Judging from the current situation, the woman following that so-called Grandmaster Burrey might possess remarkable skills. But if it was just the two of them, it would not be enough to worry about.He subtly turned back and noticed that his subordinate had already finished sending a message and put his phone back into his bag. A cold smile flickered across Hicks’s face. Just two people—did they think they could overturn the heavens?"Tell me, what's your purpose for coming to Ingram Group?" Hicks turned his head, his gaze icy as he looked at Liam."Didn’t I just say that?" Liam responded with a faint smile. He seemed unfazed by the movements of Hicks's subordinate, brushing his clothes lightly. "I have some matters to discuss with you.""To discuss with me?" Hicks’s eyes flickered. "Wh
However, no matter what thoughts the underling had, a burly, bald man walked briskly out of the crowd that had surged into the office and approached Hicks."Mister Ingram, all the security guards in the building have been severely injured and are unconscious."He bowed his head and reported quietly."Oh?"Hearing this, Hicks was momentarily stunned. He turned to look at Liam again, a flash of surprise crossing his face. "Didn’t realize you guys could actually fight!"The next moment, his eyes filled with disdain, and he sneered coldly. "But, why don’t you try making a move now?""I originally planned to teach a lesson to you, this bastard daring to mess up Lloyd Group’s plans. Who knew you'd actually deliver yourself here willingly?"Hicks stood up, his face full of contempt for Liam. "Seeing as you’re so cooperative, if you kneel and apologize right now… I might consider letting you keep your corpse intact."With his men gathered, Hicks appeared supremely arrogant."Didn’t yo
The scene that had just unfolded was beyond everyone’s imagination in the office.They could not understand where this young man, Liam, got the courage to have his female subordinate make a move—and even kill in their presence! Though they still did not fully grasp why, none of it stopped them from acting. As their boss, Mister Ingram, had commanded, such audacity in their presence warranted only one response—they would tear Liam apart! As for the striking woman who had attacked, with her alluring figure and stunning looks, they certainly intended to savor her.The underlings charging toward Liam wore twisted, lewd smiles. Just then, however, they noticed something startling: the woman who had been standing behind Liam vanished in a flash!"I thought your people were more loyal!" sneered the lead thug, a man with a streak of white hair across his forehead. He looked at Liam with contempt. "Turns out, she’s the first to run at the first sign of trouble!"However, none of them
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
