"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
After Serena left, the Lloyd family mansion remained quiet.The members of the Lloyd family were still deeply absorbed in the shock of recent events, unable to shake it off. For a moment, they did not even bother to discuss Serena as they usually would."I truly can't imagine what kind of powerful figure could pull off something like this!" Hailey's eyes gleamed with a trace of astonishment as she recalled everything she had just heard."Who knows?" Sam sighed. "In any case, this person's influence is beyond anything I can understand!"He knew very well that if the Ingram Group and Black Hand Syndicate were in their current predicament because they had offended some powerful figure, then this person was so far above them that even the Lloyd Group was not worthy of knowing who they were, let alone interacting with them."No matter what the reason was for the sudden downfall of Ingram Group, after these incidents, the chaotic issues surrounding the Hestian medicine market should be
"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
