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
Etchen understood what Hailey wanted to say. For him, this matter had also been on his mind."In the next couple of days, let's find a time to take care of it," Etchen said, turning his head to look at Hailey."Mm…" Hearing his words, Hailey felt slightly more at ease.The other members of the Lloyd Group were unaware of what Hailey and Etchen were discussing. However, they did not seem too concerned. Now that the Lloyd Group was confirmed to be out of danger, their main focus was on what exactly happened to Ingram Group and Black Hand Syndicate yesterday!Before long, they resumed their discussions.The impact of the overnight collapse of Ingram Group and Black Hand Syndicate continued to grow.However, the mastermind behind all of this, Liam, was leisurely lying in the garden of Villa No. 3, basking in the sun while listening to Lucy's report on the situation.The shock happening outside seemed completely unrelated to him."Grandmaster Burrey, we've conducted three experime
"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,
"I…"Hearing this, Charles was momentarily stunned.But in the end, he shook his head and said, "Mister Nosh, if Union Finance truly can't approve a loan for the Hensworth Group, then so be it."We'll figure out another way…"Charles's voice was low and heavy. At first, he genuinely believed Godfrey wanted to be with Valerie. But now it was clear Godfrey had no such intentions—he only wanted to toy with Valerie. How could Charles possibly agree to this?At the same time, his heart was filled with regret. He had almost become the one to push his daughter into a pit of fire!"You'll figure out another way?"Godfrey's expression darkened. He glared at Charles coldly and sneered. "Ten billion in loans, just to have Valerie play with me for a while! I really didn't know that any wh*re on the market could be this expensive!""If you don't agree, I'd like to see which other financial institution in Qyn Province would dare lend to you without Union Finance's approval!"The entire orde
"What’s wrong with you?"Hearing this, Godfrey furrowed his brows and said in a dissatisfied tone, "How long has it been? How could you not handle such a simple matter?""You still want that loan from the Hensworth Group approved, don’t you?"He immediately reprimanded Charles."Whether or not I’m with you is my business, it has nothing to do with my father!"Upon hearing this, Valerie immediately understood the implication behind Godfrey's words. Although she had just been angry with Charles, she could not allow Godfrey to speak to her father like that."Then what exactly are you thinking now?"Hearing Valerie's words, Godfrey turned his head, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light as he looked at her. "The other day, I asked you to go out for drinks. Why didn’t you go?"The reason Godfrey had come in and started pressuring Charles was that he sensed that Valerie seemed uninterested in him.However, he had not expected Valerie to suddenly speak up at this moment."I did
