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
"It’s impossible! Impossible!"However, soon after, Hicks shook his head and threw that thought aside! If he truly wanted to achieve all this, it would probably require the other two underground forces in South City to unite and strike against the Black Hand Syndicate at any cost! However, the Fowler Society and Chester were not crazy! What reason did they have to engage in such thankless work! Moreover, there had always been rumors that the president of the Fowler Society, Nathaniel, was at odds with Chester! Who would have the qualifications to bring Nathaniel and Chester together! Not to mention that the Fowler Society was currently developing vigorously, how could they possibly divert their attention to target the Black Hand Syndicate? Hicks completely did not believe that such an unreasonable thing could happen in South City! "Are you trying to scare me?" He sneered, raising his head to look at Liam, "Do you think I don’t know the situation of the underground fo
His face no longer showed any trace of the earlier arrogance and ferocity! That gang with tens of thousands of members, the massive Black Hand Syndicate, was completely annihilated by this young man, known as Grandmaster Burrey, because of his own actions! In South City, Nathaniel, who held all the power, even bowed and ingratiated himself like a dog in front of Grandmaster Burrey! All of this had thoroughly frightened Hicks to the core! Who exactly was this young man called Grandmaster Burrey? And such a powerful figure would actually come to find him because of a trivial incident involving traditional Hestian medicine? "Who am I?" Hearing this, Liam gave a faint smile and calmly replied, "My name is Liam Burrey." "Liam… Liam Burrey?" Upon hearing this somewhat familiar name, Hicks was momentarily stunned. In the next moment. "You're that useless ex-husband of Serena Lloyd?" Recalling the moment he had heard this name before, Hicks’s eyes widened in disbelief! His
Scattered flesh and blood resembled blooming lotus flowers! Beautiful and enchanting! Everyone who witnessed this scene couldn’t help but tremble. Because they knew all too well what that lotus flower represented! And as the lotus bloomed, Liam did not even turn to take a glance back. From the very beginning, he had never considered sparing Hicks! When Hicks would die merely depended on when the poison in his body would erupt! Just as Liam had said earlier, after Hicks did all these things, he should have anticipated that his day would come. "You all stay here to clean up the scene." Standing at the door, Liam paused for a moment before calmly looking at the trembling subordinates beside him. "After cleaning up, go find Nathaniel. I can spare your lives." "Thank you, Grandmaster Burrey! Thank you, Grandmaster Burrey!" Upon hearing this, the group of subordinates trembled violently, bowing their heads and expressing their gratitude repeatedly! Everything
At the very least, the current chaos in the domestic market for traditional Hestian medicine in Hestia can still play a certain promotional role. All of this aligns with his initial expectations. Most importantly, it finally provides an explanation for the patients living in the hospital rooms! Besides this, after the news spreads, Liam did not feel that it has much to do with him."Let’s go back and rest for a while," he said lazily, stretching and addressing the nearby Bluebird. The two figures slowly disappeared outside the Ingram Group Building....The next day, the atmosphere at the Lloyd family mansion, which had been heavy and somber due to a series of recent setbacks, was now filled with joy and celebration. After all, early in the morning, the members of the Lloyd family heard the news that the Ingram Group had collapsed overnight. The disappearance of the Ingram Group meant that the responsibility related to the toxic Hestian medicine would change, significantly r
"Fowler Society?"Upon hearing the name of another underground force in South City, Ronald was momentarily taken aback. His expression was one of deep shock, "Has Fowler Society really grown this powerful?"Their understanding of Fowler Society was from a while back, when it was one of the three major underground forces in South City alongside the Black Hand Syndicate!However, Ronald had not expected that the current Fowler Society could, in a single night, completely uproot the Black Hand Syndicate!"I don't know what happened, but Fowler Society's growth in the past six months has been astonishing," Charice remarked, clearly informed on the situation. A hint of awe crossed her face. "But it's clear that their move against Black Hand Syndicate wasn't made impulsively, as someone discovered that the last call Toby made was from Hicks!""I feel like someone might have ordered Fowler Society to act; otherwise, they wouldn't make such a sudden move!"As she spoke, Charice's face re
After all, their Lloyd family also had a responsibility in this incident!"What..."Hearing Hailey's words, both Ronald and Sam were suddenly startled, with a flash of nervousness crossing their faces.Even Charice was stunned for a moment."It probably isn't."However, soon, she gave a bitter smile and shook her head, saying, "After all, based on the news circulating outside, the primary responsibility for this toxic herbal medicine incident lies with our Lloyd Group. If it really was because of this, the ones to suffer first should be us, the Lloyd Group.""You're right!"Hearing Charice's words, Hailey let out a long sigh of relief.She extended her thick fingers, vigorously patting her chest. "That scared me to death! I don't even want to imagine—if that powerful figure actually targeted our Lloyd Group, how terrifying that would be."As she spoke, Hailey seemed to think of something, and she quickly turned around, glaring at Etchen. "Etchen, from now on, you are not allow
However, all these thoughts only flashed through Serena's mind briefly before disappearing.The sudden collapse of the Ingram Group and Black Hand Syndicate, while shocking and perplexing, piqued Serena's curiosity about the true cause. Deep down, she even felt there was something coincidental about the sudden situation with Ingram Group.After all, now was not the time to dwell on such matters.At the moment, what worried Serena the most was still the Lloyd Group. Following the overnight collapse of Ingram Group, there was still much that the Lloyd Group needed to do. Only by seizing the opportunity could they minimize the negative impact caused by the release of toxic traditional medicine!"No matter what happened with Ingram Group and Black Hand Syndicate, the most important thing now is our Lloyd Group's follow-up work."She raised her head, her beautiful face stern as she looked at the members of the Lloyd family. "Ingram Group faced the retribution it deserved, which gives o
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
