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
Fresh blood streamed down the thin red line, suddenly gushing out in torrents! The entire room was instantly engulfed in the thick, metallic scent of blood.In the center of it all sat Liam, calm and composed, as if untouched by the chaos around him. The blood that sprayed all around never touched him, not even a single drop. Even his shoes remained immaculate. About five inches in front of him, it was as if an invisible wall stood, blocking all the blood from reaching him. Seen from above, Liam sat unmoving while all the blood pooled in front of him, spilling onto the floor and forming an eerily precise pattern. This seemingly beautiful scene brought boundless fear to everyone in the room."What… what…" The group of henchmen who had initially charged at Liam stood frozen in place, their faces pale, not daring to take a single step forward! They turned, clutching their weapons, hoping to flee. However, under the crushing weight of terror, it felt as if their legs were made of l
"You…"Sensing Liam's gaze, Hicks’s body trembled violently. His face turned ashen as he shakily tried to say something.Impossible.Hicks never thought he would see this day! He could not believe that Liam, the inconspicuous figure who dared to disrupt the Lloyd Group’s plans, would come to their door and possess such strength."What about me?" Liam chuckled lightly. He slowly stood up, stepped over the corpses lying before him, and walked toward Hicks."I waited for so long, and the people you finally called in had only this level of skill." Liam shook his head, a hint of disappointment flashing across his face. "Their performance was rather underwhelming.""You actually…"Upon hearing Liam’s words, fear once again flashed in Hicks’s eyes. Now he finally understood why Liam had been sitting still earlier!As he watched Liam getting closer and closer, Hicks's body trembled uncontrollably. But in the next moment, a vicious expression flashed across his face!"I’m going to ki
The golden needle that had pierced his wrist was somehow now back in Liam's hand."Get him! Kill him!" shouted Hicks, not quite understanding what Liam had just done but seizing the moment when he could move again. He yelled to the Lloyd Group's men around him as he stumbled backward.Behind his office, there was a secret door. Inside were a few guns; if he could just buy himself some time to grab one, he would tear this bastard in front of him into pieces!However, after Hicks's call to action, none of the men moved. They were already scared out of their wits by everything that had just happened. The most chilling sight was Liam's casual grip on a handgun—its barrel twisted into a mangled spiral.How could they dare confront someone like that?"You useless fools! I've wasted my time on you all!" Hicks’s face twisted in fury as he spat, "When I get the chance, I'll kill every last one of you and feed you to the dogs…"However, as he cursed them, Hicks reached the door. Just as he
"I still don't know if what you told me back then, about Grandmaster Burrey being so powerful, is true or not," Pearlyn said softly, her voice tinged with a deep sadness. "We believed in Grandmaster Burrey at the time and decided to wait for that miraculous medicine. But... can we really wait long enough for it?"In fact, it had not been long since their lives were saved by Liam.But for Pearlyn, who had since regained consciousness, it felt like an eternity had passed.After waking up and seeing her broken body, she suffered a tremendous blow. It took all her strength to maintain her composure until now, and that was closely tied to what Fabian had told her about Liam.In truth, it was this sliver of hope that kept her going.However, as the days dragged on, compounded by an infection from her reckless attempt to remove her scars, Pearlyn—already fragile—was nearing her breaking point."Pearlyn, don't worry."Looking at the scarred and despondent Pearlyn, a flash of heartache c
Recently, Agustine had been working tirelessly alongside Lucy on the launch of the White Glycoside Cream. It had been an arduous journey!However, as he watched this groundbreaking medicine, one that could astonish all of China, receive such a cold reception, Agustine, even as a staff member of the Hestia Drug Administration, could not help but feel frustrated."Grandmaster Burrey…" Lucy turned to look at Liam and muttered."What's the matter?"Hearing this, Liam turned to look at Lucy and asked calmly."About the White Glycoside Cream…"After a moment of hesitation, Lucy finally asked, "What should we do next? We still have a large stockpile of raw materials in our warehouse. Should we continue production of the White Glycoside Cream?"She appeared deeply conflicted.Continuing production meant further losses. Halting production meant watching the raw materials in the warehouse slowly decay and rot.All of this left Lucy feeling incredibly distressed. The losses that the Whit
While Agustine was working with Lucy on the launch preparations for the White Glycoside Cream, he had already informed Matthias of all the relevant details.He was not a mole sent by Matthias.It was just that during the preparation stage for the cream's release, Agustine had come to understand the massive financial losses the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation would face if the product was not properly promoted.That number...When Agustine first heard it, his heart could not help but tremble.After learning about the situation, he immediately contacted Matthias to see if there was any way to reduce the foundation's losses.However, Matthias did not have any particularly good solutions.Since the implementation of the new traditional medicine market policies, the pressure on the regulatory department staff had been immense. Yet, the results were immediate and evident.If any errors or mishaps occurred now, further disrupting the Hestian pharmaceutical market, the consequences
At the same time…Standing at the room door, Liam looked at Sophia, who was persistently knocking. A trace of helplessness flashed across his face. "If you want to go in, I have the passcode.""Hmph!"After knocking hard on the door again to no avail, Sophia snorted coldly and turned around. "No need to open it now. It looks like Serena really isn't here.""That girl Serena, if I run into her next time, I definitely won't let her off!"She glanced angrily at the door one last time before turning to head downstairs."Let's go, Aunt Heller. Let's deal with the stall issue at the market first."Following Sophia, Liam spoke to persuade her."That girl Serena, she really made me angry this time…"Clearly, Sophia was still immersed in her frustration with Serena, grumbling as she walked.However, under Liam's persuasion, an annoyed Sophia still followed him to the market.It did not take long for the two to settle the matter regarding the market.Even though Liam knew it was unlik
At that time, Sophia understood the situation.The divorce was proposed by Serena, seemingly because she found Liam lazy and useless. Eventually, the two of them divorced.At first, in Sophia's understanding, perhaps Liam was indeed somewhat lazy. After all, compared to Serena, the gap between them was significant.If he could not bridge that gap through his own efforts, problems were bound to arise between them sooner or later.This was also why Sophia had always tried to persuade Liam to cherish Serena.But after everything that happened today, Sophia could no longer accept it!Liam, useless?She could not fathom how Serena could say such a thing!She had to confront Serena and get to the bottom of it."Aunt Heller, it's all in the past now," Liam said, shaking his head."What's done is done. Why bother asking about things that don't matter anymore?"In fact, when he first divorced Serena, there was a moment when he, like Sophia, couldn't make sense of it. But with time, L
The sound of Nathaniel echoed continuously through the streets.Recently, Nathaniel and Chester, in partnership, had been expanding their power towards the three northwestern provinces.They had become somewhat lax in their control of South City.This was the reason for the current situation.But now, Nathaniel had made up his mind—similar things would never be allowed to happen again!"Yes!"For a moment, the response from the group of men in black ahead shot into the sky."What are they doing..."A voice suddenly came from behind, causing Sophia to jump. She quickly looked back."It's nothing, Aunt Sophia."Seeing this, Liam smiled faintly. "They're busy with their own things; we're busy with ours.""Alright..."Upon hearing this, Sophia reluctantly turned her head back."You know, the president of the Fowler Society is actually quite a good person..."she muttered, as if wanting to say something.But just at that moment, Sophia's body trembled. She suddenly realized so
"Grandmaster Burrey, I understand."Upon hearing this, a cold gleam suddenly flashed in Nathaniel's eyes. "This will never happen again!"This incident was not just infuriating for Liam, but Nathaniel himself also felt utterly embarrassed!In the heart of the Fowler Society's stronghold in South City, someone dared to impersonate a member of the Fowler Society. This act itself showed a complete disregard for him.No matter what had caused this situation, he could never allow something like this to happen again."Do as you see fit," Liam said, glancing at Nathaniel indifferently. He then turned to Sophia and smiled. "Aunt Sophia, let Nathaniel handle things here at your shop. I'll go with you to the market and have a word with the management."He had not forgotten about the time when Sophia wanted to set up a stall in the market but was rejected by the management."No, no need!" Sophia waved her hands repeatedly.After everything that had happened today, she truly felt guilty ab
Even Sophia could not see the end of that black car!And beside each car stood nearly ten thousand men dressed in black suits.They said nothing, their faces cold, their imposing presence radiating an air of ruthlessness that reached the sky!At that moment, Nathaniel received a message from Liam.He did not know what exactly was happening at the scene, but Liam's tone made him extremely anxious!Nathaniel also did not understand how someone from the Fowler Society could dare to provoke Grandmaster Burrey!Immediately, he brought members from the Fowler Society in South City to the scene!However, concerned that bringing too many people might complicate the situation, Nathaniel had most of his subordinates wait outside on the street!"Please, I beg you!""Yeah! Please, spare us!""It's our fault, we were so bold and ignorant, rashly using the Fowler Society's name!""I'll kneel and apologize to you! Really, please, spare me!"...On the other side, the cries of Leopard and
If all of this is really true, doesn't that mean this man is really the president of the Fowler Society?Sophia's mind was a mess.At that moment…"Aunt Sophia, let's head back first."Liam's voice sounded. He looked at Sophia and gave a faint smile. "You don't need to worry about the rest. From now on, no one will bother you again.""When we come back, I think your shop should be restored to its original state."As he spoke, Liam turned and glanced at Nathaniel beside them."Y-Yes…"Upon hearing this, Nathaniel's body trembled, and he quickly lowered his head again.He understood the implied meaning in Liam's words.However, Sophia, who was still in shock and confusion, didn't register Liam's words at all."We have to leave quickly!"She nodded urgently. "If the police show up later, we'll be in big trouble!"Sophia was still uneasy about the current situation."Ha…"Hearing this, Liam could not help but laugh.Sophia's reaction was rather cute, but he knew well that for
