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
Sebastian was not lying.Even though their Hensworth Group was a well-known name in South City, in front of Liam, Valerie was truly insignificant."Luck or no luck…"Hearing the murmurs from those around him, Liam showed a faint, helpless smile.The sudden shift in tone from the Hensworth family left him feeling slightly out of place.However, at that moment, Liam seemed to think of something.He turned his head to look at Charles and asked again, "Still, the question I asked earlier—are you sure you don't need my help?""I…"The moment Charles heard Liam's words, his body trembled.His mind flashed back to his previous conversation with Liam. At the time, Liam had asked him the exact same question.Back then, Charles had dismissed Liam's offer entirely, not taking him seriously.After all that had happened since then, Charles finally understood the weight of Liam's words back then."We…"Struggle flickered across Charles's face.Although the issues with Union Finance and
After all, the fact that Liam knew medicine was something she had never known!And Liam’s response confirmed her suspicions.This left Valerie, who thought she had already understood Liam, feeling a great sense of frustration."V-Valerie…"Just as Valerie’s mind was filled with countless thoughts, Sebastian’s voice suddenly rang out. He looked at Valerie nervously and said, "You... you should treat Liam better!""Liam being interested in you is a blessing for our Hensworth family.""If it weren’t for him, our Hensworth Group would’ve been finished this time…"Sebastian was filled with shock. He too was not sure how to communicate with Liam and instead chose to speak directly to Valerie."Yeah, Valerie, at the start, it was your mom and dad’s fault! You need to make sure you get along well with Liam!""That’s right! You can’t act petty in front of him!"Hearing Sebastian’s words, Charles and Janell both shook, suddenly becoming alert. They followed Sebastian’s words, quickly ur
"What...?"As soon as Valerie's voice rang out, the entire villa fell into an abrupt stillness. The Hensworth family members stared wide-eyed, their gazes fixed on Valerie, their expressions full of disbelief!"Valerie... why... why didn't you tell us about this sooner..."Charles stammered, trying to say something."I wanted to, but you never gave me a chance," Valerie said, a look of grievance flashing across her face."What..."Charles's vision darkened, and he staggered back a step!The shock from the message that Liam had sent, announcing the acquisition of Union Finance, had not yet worn off. And now, Valerie's words hit them like a depth charge, exploding violently in their hearts!The intense impact made the Hensworth family members tremble with shock!The charity foundation that caused such a stir in Qyn Province, whose listed medicine had captured the entire Hestian market in just three weeks, making it nearly impossible to obtain, was actually Liam's?The mysteriou
Everything, all of it, made the Hensworth family feel an inexplicable sensation!It seemed like the real reason behind the trouble faced by Union Finance was not the financial crash, but rather some targeted attack!The moment this thought crossed their minds, the Hensworth family members shuddered.The next moment, they suddenly looked up, their eyes filled with horror as they stared at Liam.They were not stupid!If there was any connection to everything happening, there could only be one answer!"Why are you all staring at me?"Feeling the eyes of the Hensworth family members on him, Liam was taken aback and asked, "Didn’t I already tell you about Union Finance’s situation?""Why are you still so shocked?"He looked at them with confusion."Kid..."Hearing Liam’s words, Sebastian's old face went pale, and for a moment, he seemed dazed!After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he stammered, "Union Finance... their situation... you... you..."Under the intense shock, Sebast
"You... what do you mean by that?"Upon hearing Liam's words, Sebastian was momentarily stunned. He had no idea what this young man was suddenly talking about!What did he mean by saying that once the bodyguards returned, Lloyd Group would cease to exist?Lloyd Group, which spanned across the entire Qyn Province with a powerful background, had been doing booming business lately. How could it just disappear like that?Sebastian knew that Liam’s idea was, in theory, quite good. After all, if Lloyd Group were to disappear, the Nosh family would suffer a huge blow, and they would have no time to cause trouble for them in the short term.However, the idea of Lloyd Group disappearing was nothing more than a beautiful fantasy. It was impossible!It was not just Sebastian.Charles and Janell were also stunned after hearing Liam’s words.To be honest, after experiencing the events earlier, their impression of Liam had already changed quite a bit.As the current head of the Hensworth fa
"Sigh…"Sebastian listened to Liam’s words, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed heavily before speaking, "But even if you want to take action, you should leave no trace!"Although he had not expected Liam to suddenly take such drastic measures, Sebastian still understood the situation to some extent. After all, even he, an old man, was so furious at Godfrey’s earlier words that he could barely contain himself. It was needless to say how someone like Liam, a young man, would feel!Moreover, Godfrey had been threatening Liam not long ago. But Sebastian still felt that Liam had not thought this through completely.Sebastian, after all, was the man who had built the Hensworth family’s foundation, and he had a certain ruthless streak in him. He believed that now that Liam had already taken action, he should not have let those two bodyguards go back."Leave no trace behind!" he thought. Even those two bodyguards should not be spared. Who knows, the truth of Godfrey’s death might s
"Ugh…"Godfrey's body shuddered, his eyes flashing with intense unwillingness. He struggled, as if trying to say something, but not a word escaped his lips.Finally—Bang!A dull thud echoed as Godfrey’s body slammed heavily onto the ground, lifeless.Even in his wildest dreams, he could not have imagined—In South City, someone would actually dare to kill him!In Godfrey's mind, with Union Finance's status in the Qyn Province, it was inconceivable that anyone would dare act against him. Liam had broken his leg earlier, which was already outrageous enough!Otherwise, he would not have arrogantly declared moments ago, threatening to grind Liam's bones to dust unless he fled immediately.Who could have guessed—From the very beginning, Liam had no intention of letting Godfrey go!What Union Finance?What powerful connections in Juneau?To Liam, none of that mattered in the slightest."What now?"Liam stood up, casually tossing the dagger to Bluebird before turning to face
In the very next moment…As soon as Charles and the others processed what was happening, they hurriedly turned to Liam, frantically urging, "Liam, you need to leave now! This time, you’ve really gotten yourself into trouble!"Even though Charles and his companions still had not figured out what exactly was going on in front of them, and they had no idea who the woman who suddenly appeared was or what her relationship with Liam might be, they were absolutely certain that this time, Liam had truly stirred up major trouble!Despite Liam and the mysterious woman who appeared behind him both displaying impressive skills, they were still only two people.When faced with United Financial, Liam wouldn’t stand a chance of resisting.Not to mention—breaking Godfrey’s leg had completely severed any chance of reconciliation with United Financial. With Godfrey’s vengeful nature, this would undoubtedly escalate to a fight to the death!In Charles’s eyes, Liam’s only option was to flee immedi
"Don’t! Don’t you dare interfere with me!"Sensing the bodyguards' movements, Godfrey suddenly snapped awake. His face twisted with fury, his eyes bloodshot as he roared, "Kill him for me! Kill him!"The searing pain in his leg distorted Godfrey's features, but none of it could mask the blazing anger inside him.He, Godfrey, had been beaten into this state by a mere useless ex-convict!Even the Lloyd Group, the former backer of that useless ex-convict, Liam, wouldn’t have dared to treat him this way!Who gave him the nerve to do this?At the instant Godfrey's order rang out, the two bodyguards who had initially rushed toward him abruptly turned around. They swiftly drew retractable batons from their waists and aimed them straight at Liam’s head!"Yes! Beat him to death for me! I want his skin peeled off!"Godfrey's body trembled as he screamed madly at the scene before him.However, just as the two batons were about to strike Liam from both sides...A flash of cold light strea
