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
Moreover, she knew that the reason the authorities currently showed such strong support for the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had a lot to do with how Grandmaster Burrey had once made a single phone call that summoned the top official of Qyn Province.To put it bluntly, although she was currently managing the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation temporarily, its reputation had been built entirely due to Grandmaster Burrey. He had only done a few things, yet he had elevated the foundation to an incredible level! None of this would have been possible, even with the Hill family's resources!Today, when Lucy arrived in South City, she also heard about the matters involving Ingram Group and the Black Hand Syndicate. Unlike the other confused families and companies in South City, Lucy immediately knew the true reason behind it all. However, since Grandmaster Burrey hadn't mentioned it, she did not inquire further.At this moment, Lucy finally felt she understood Grandmaster Burrey a
Feeling Liam's distaste for Sinmalen, Lucy stopped mentioning anything about collaborating with them. Lowering her head, she looked at Liam and asked, "Grandmaster Burrey, have you decided on a name for the new medicine?""A name for the new medicine?" Liam was momentarily taken aback. He furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and then responded, "Let's go with the formula's name—White Glycoside Cream."The last time he named a medicine 'Bellflower,' it had a special significance for him. However, this new medicine did not hold any particular meaning, so using the formula's name, White Glycoside Cream, was sufficient."White Glycoside Cream?" Lucy squinted, repeating the name of the medicine."That's right." Liam nodded, confirming the name."Since you're already aware of the situation, Grandmaster Burrey, I'll head back to the provincial capital to handle the production arrangements for the White Glycoside Cream," Lucy replied swiftly. Although she had not been in South City lo
Kenton's eyes widened as he stared straight ahead.Freddy's lifeless body lay less than two meters away from him. From that distance, Kenton could clearly see Freddy's eyes, devoid of any sparkle.Maybe, if Freddy had taken just one more step to escape the ring and concede defeat, things might have been different.But that was impossible.From the moment Freddy chose to step into the ring, the outcome was already sealed.Right now, Kenton couldn't even feel the pain in his own body. His heart was completely consumed by fear.Kenton had never imagined that one day he would witness such a scene.Even more unimaginable was the fact that someone could be so terrifyingly powerful!All the instructors from the battle zones had been killed by the same person. Among them was even a martial arts Ascendants.Yet all of them combined could not last a single round against that Grandmaster!Everything that had just happened felt like a nightmare to Kenton.Even now, he could not believe
Ten Years Ago.When Matthew first took office as the commander of the Western Military Region, Brandon Yorkshire had already become his personal guard.Over the past ten years, however, Brandon had never once made a public appearance like he did today!Matthew had never expected that today, after Grandmaster Burrey from the Central Military Region made his move, Brandon would voluntarily show up, and even seem so frightened!However, the old man's appearance did not surprise Liam at all.Because the moment he saw Matthew, he had already noticed the old man's presence."The Martial Code?"Yet, the old man's words made Liam narrow his eyes.But now was not the time to dwell on such matters.Bang—Liam casually tossed Jormund's body aside, then looked up at the remaining special forces instructors still standing on the stage, showing a faint smile."I..."Seeing this, the few remaining instructors on the stage trembled violently!A formless fear instantly gripped their hearts
Jormund finally understood why, at that time, Gabriel did not resist when facing Liam.It was not that Baeron did not want to fight back.It was that, at that moment, Baeron had no chance to resist!The overwhelming pressure, like the sky collapsing, and the boundless fear!It left them completely unable to control their bodies!This man, who was called Grandmaster Burrey, what kind of monster was he?!Not only could he see through the condition of Jormund's body at a glance, but with a simple gesture, he made Jormund's inner energy shrink in terror, completely unable to move!Even though he had already broken through to the realm of martial arts Ascendant, it was still useless!Suddenly, Jormund recalled Baeron's action right before his death—trying desperately to look at them.Now, he finally understood the reason behind that gesture!But he no longer had any way to share his discovery with anyone else!Jormund stared wide-eyed at Liam's slender, well-defined hand, getting
"Mister Celd… When did you break through?"Their faces were filled with shock.Previously, the instructors from other military districts knew that Jormund's strength was extraordinary, but they had no idea to what extent.But they never expected this.Jormund had already become a martial arts Ascendant!That seemingly insurmountable chasm had been crossed by him!From now on, when they faced Jormund, they would probably have to show the respect of juniors!The instructors from other military districts could feel their inner energy trembling slightly under the impact of Jormund's aura, their faces showing a bitter smile.Now they finally understood why Jormund had said that he alone was enough back then!In the presence of a martial arts Ascendant, they weren't even qualified to fight alongside him!At the very front, the smile on Jormund's face was arrogant and unrestrained!"Originally, I planned to reveal my strength when reporting back to my clan. However, I just can't st
"What?""The instructors actually teamed up!""Teamed up? Wasn't it that Grandmaster Burrey of yours who asked for it himself?""If he wants to die, who can he blame!"...Seeing the situation on the stage, a group of soldiers immediately started discussing, with a hint of argument in their voices.The soldiers from other military districts who came to this so-called exchange meeting had long been displeased with that so-called Grandmaster Burrey!"Heh..."Seeing the group of instructors jumping onto the stage, Jormund chuckled softly.However, he did not say much, but his expression was full of confidence.The next moment, Jormund raised his head and looked at Liam, squinting his eyes sharply."Are you ready?"His voice was chilling!"I..."Right at that moment, Liam seemed to notice something and was stunned for a moment, just about to say something!But before he could speak.In front—Boom!Jormund did not give Liam any time to react.In just an instant, he charge
"Grandmaster Burrey..."In a panic, Gabriel opened his mouth, about to say something.But in the end, he was a moment too late!The next moment, Liam's hand, which was gripping Baeron's neck, tightened slightly.Crack—A crisp sound echoed.Baeron's head drooped instantly, the light in his eyes extinguished.Baeron, dead!In his final moments, he couldn't even tell the other officers from the various military districts below what he had originally intended to say!"What!""Impossible!""Grandmaster Burrey killed Baeron?""Weren't they just putting on an act?""What the hell is going on!"...In an instant, the entire stadium erupted like a boiling pot!No one could have imagined that Grandmaster Burrey would actually choose to kill directly!"Sigh..."On the main platform, Gabriel let out a heavy sigh and sat back down.Having once witnessed Grandmaster Burrey's methods, he knew very well just how terrifying it would be if Grandmaster Burrey decided to take action!
"I…"Baeron's face was filled with terror!His body was frozen in place by sheer fear, unable to move at all!Even though he was intensely focused a moment ago, Baeron couldn't catch a single glimpse of Liam's movements.But that was not what terrified him the most.The real reason for his overwhelming horror, the bone-chilling fear, was actually quite simple.It was the aura emanating from Liam's slender, fair hand — fingers distinct and refined.Baeron had lived for over forty years and believed that with his status, he was already accustomed to facing storms and dangers. Even a martial arts Ascendant would not have fazed him, especially considering the powerful backing he had.But never, never had Baeron felt such a hopeless aura.Deep as an abyss, majestic as a deity!The aura from the figure before him was beyond anything Baeron could describe.The once powerful internal energy within him now shrank into a corner, as if it had encountered its greatest predator. No matte
"A mere rat dares to talk so big with such little strength!"Liam's attitude filled Jormund with rage. He had never seen someone so arrogant before."Who do you think you are!"You're even scared of Baeron, and you think you're worthy of having all the army instructors attack together?"Jormund snapped furiously, "Do you really think that just because you brought some officers from the Western Military Region into the ring, you can do whatever you want?""So what you're saying is, if I deal with Baeron first, then all of you will attack together?"Liam turned his head and looked calmly at Jormund."I... "Hearing this, Jormund was momentarily speechless.He had not expected this so-called Grandmaster Burrey to actually respond."Don't worry, you won't get the chance."Baeron sneered, "There's no need to talk about everyone attacking at once. Since you're so eager to die in place of Yet, I'll gladly oblige.""If that's the case." Liam narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at
"The Central Military Region is replacing the instructor on stage. The match will continue."After confirming the information, the referee standing nearby announced that the exchange conference would proceed.At the same time, he quickly arranged for staff members to hurry onto the stage and carry away Kenton, who was lying in the center of the ring, groaning in pain.The incident happened suddenly.The instructor exchange conference was the priority.For now, no one had time to question why Grandmaster Burrey had appeared out of nowhere and smashed a Western Military Region officer into the ring.Even if there were questions, they would have to wait until the conference ended."Ah—"As Kenton was being carried off, his agonized screams continued to echo.He felt as if every bone in his body was broken, with no part spared from the pain!"Baeron, you have to avenge me! Avenge me! Make that little bastard suffer!"Kenton wailed in fury, shouting with all his might.Despite ev
