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
Hicks could hardly imagine it. In this world, there could be such agony! It felt like a thousand claws scratching at his heart, an unbearable itch! It was as if thousands of ants were crawling inside his bones! Only ten seconds had passed, but it felt like a hundred years. If Liam had not intervened at his plea for mercy, Hicks, unable to endure it, would rather have chosen death than continue to suffer this torment!"Phew…" He gasped for air, his eyes blank and helpless. Even as a bullet fired by Liam pierced his left arm, Hicks showed no reaction. Compared to the searing, bone-deep pain he had just endured, the pain in his arm was insignificant.Meanwhile, the members of Ingram Group around him were already weak in the knees. They were immensely relieved that they had not attacked Liam under Hicks’s orders! The sight of Hicks, reduced to a bloodied, barely recognizable figure, was a clear warning of what awaited anyone who dared to act rashly.In the
Upon hearing this, a fierce look flashed across Hicks’s face. "Dare to lay hands on me? the Black Hand Syndicate won’t let you off! With tens of thousands of gang members, I’ll see what good your fighting skills are!""Why aren’t you speaking now? Are you regretting it? Let me tell you, it’s too late for regrets!"Seeing that Liam had yet to respond, Hicks revealed a sinister smile. He trembled as he extended his bloodied and mangled fingers, pointing directly at Liam. "Did you ever think about this day when you were tormenting me so arrogantly just now?""Don’t think I’ll spare you. And you useless onlookers who just stood by and watched me suffer without daring to help, I won’t let you off either!"Then, he turned to look at the stiffened little brothers beside him, his eyes flashing with a chilling intensity.As one of the three major underground forces in South City, the Black Hand Syndicate had the longest history and the largest influence, with countless members. In South Ci
"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
Charles could not just stand by.However, Liam had not continued speaking yet.The moment Godfrey heard Charles’s words, his eyes widened abruptly, and an exaggerated grin appeared on his face."Liam?"Godfrey extended a finger, pointing straight at Liam, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he asked, "You wouldn’t happen to be that Liam, famed in South City, would you?"It was clear he had heard of Liam’s exploits."I don’t know anything about being famed in South City."Liam looked at Godfrey calmly and said, "I am Liam Burrey.""Hahaha!"Hearing Liam’s response, Godfrey burst into uncontrollable laughter, clutching his stomach. His laughter was saturated with ridicule. "I can’t take it! You’re killing me!"I thought the Hensworth family found someone reliable to back them up, but it turns out it’s just a useless piece of trash!"And you dare spout nonsense about breaking my legs?"Shaking his head, his face was full of disdain. "Now it’s clear—you people have lost your mind
"Liam…"Seeing the scene before her, Valerie trembled.When she first heard Godfrey’s merciless words, her heart burned with grief and indignation. Yet, Valerie also understood that in the face of this situation, she did not have any viable solutions.The moment she realized Godfrey was from Union Finance, Valerie knew the Hensworth Group was nothing in comparison.What’s more, the Hensworth Group was currently on the brink of bankruptcy and had to rely on Godfrey for help!She never imagined Liam would step up at such a moment.After all, she had only asked Liam to pretend to be her boyfriend; there was no real relationship between them.And Union Finance wasn’t just powerful. Its background was incredibly mysterious.There were long-standing rumors that Union Finance in Qyn Province had connections to Juneau.Otherwise, the Nosh family could not have dominated the vast financial market and remained unshaken for so many years.Even if Liam might be capable of resolving this,
