"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
"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
"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,
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
"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
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
"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
"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
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
"Then give it a try."Sam chuckled and agreed, "I just didn't expect that one day, our Lloyd Group would choose to save that worthless Liam!""Alright."Hearing the voices around her, Hailey also nodded in agreement.However, soon, she seemed to recall something, turned to look at Serena, and asked, "But do we really have the ability to get someone out of the military's hands?""Yes."Hearing this, Serena gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with determination."If you might have a way, then go ahead and try."Seeing this, Hailey said no more and waved her hand."I just hope we don't go through all this trouble, only for that ungrateful Liam to turn his back on us!""Mom, don't worry, that won't happen!"Serena shook her head.Immediately, she turned around and quickly left the Lloyd family mansion.Not long after, Serena returned to her office at Lloyd Group.She hurriedly made her way to her desk and started searching through a pile of documents.When she finally spott
"I…" Seeing this scene, Serena's body froze abruptly, trembling slightly out of anxiety.She desperately wanted to understand the situation immediately and help Liam.However, the situation in front of her made it clear that rushing off alone to save Liam was definitely not an option!"Phew…"Serena took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.Was there any way to convince the members of the Lloyd family to help Liam?The next moment, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something."Mom, it's not that I care about Liam, but if we want to collaborate with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation on the White Glycoside Cream project, Liam cannot be in trouble!"Serena raised her head and looked at Hailey."What does our Lloyd Group's collaboration with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation have to do with that useless Liam?"Hailey frowned deeply."Mom! Think about Liam's relationship with Lucy, and you'll understand!"Serena hurriedly replied, "When you were discu
"We really don't know."Sam shook his head, but soon, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face. "But that useless Liam struts around deceiving people all day long. Maybe that's why he got into trouble with the military!""That's actually possible!" Hailey's face flashed with realization and mockery. "Looks like he's finally getting what he deserves!""Exactly!""The military isn't like us—they won't tolerate that useless Liam."Charice, standing in the back, let out a cold laugh. "Just seeing him boast and spew nonsense all day, it was obvious he'd end up like this sooner or later!""Hahaha!""Right, he's just getting what he asked for!""Serves him right for showing off in front of us all the time—he's practically asking for it!"…Inside the Lloyd family mansion, a series of schadenfreude-laden laughs echoed. Everyone from the Lloyd family started mocking Liam one after another.Among them, Etchen's voice was the most grating!However, just as the Lloyd family members were
Hailey froze for a moment, then immediately frowned. Biting her teeth in frustration, she snapped, "What the hell is going on with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation?" "A project this big, with such high profits, and they didn't even inform us? We didn't even know about the launch of the White Glycoside Cream!"And now, they won't even let us in? The Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation has gone too far!" Hailey was seething with resentment. "They really have overstepped!" Standing beside her, Sam also wore a dark expression. Other members of the Lloyd family started cursing as well. None of them had expected the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to treat the Lloyd Group this way! However… In contrast to the growing anger around her, Serena remained calm, standing silently at the back. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the way the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had handled things. She had discussed this matter with the Lloyd family mem
However, Charice and Sam had barely stepped into the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building for five minutes before they were sent out in disgrace. Just like the previous attempts, they failed once again. This time, they didn't even get past the lobby—before, at least, they could meet with someone in charge. "What's going on? Before, we could at least talk to the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's representatives, but this time, we didn't even get to see anyone!" Sam's face was filled with frustration. "If we can't get in, it means the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation really doesn't want to work with us…" Charice sighed. "But if they don't want to cooperate with the Lloyd Corporation, shouldn't they at least give us a reason?" Before Charice could finish speaking, Sam cut in, his voice laced with anger. "We used to have such a good working relationship with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, but now we don't even know about the launch of the White Gly
"That useless trash, what did he do this time?" Sam turned his head toward Charice, his voice dry and hoarse. "Who… who knows…" Charice shook her head, her expression stiff. "Could it really be that he caused some huge trouble, which is why such a big scene happened?" Just based on that scene earlier—forget about escorting Liam. It was enough to wage a small-scale battle! Without hesitation, they quickly picked up their pace and hurried forward. "The man at the entrance just now, the one taken away in the military vehicle—do you know what happened?" Charice stopped a staff member of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, who had also been hiding to the side in shock, and hurriedly asked. They wanted to understand exactly what had happened! Why had so many soldiers chosen to take Liam away right in front of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building? However, the staff member they questioned was just a low-level employee of the foundation. Forget t
