"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
"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
"Dead?"Andy froze for a moment, a flash of surprise flickering in his eyes!He simply could not believe that the two of them, Monochrome Duo Wraiths—who were considered top-tier martial arts masters—could be killed by this young man right in front of him!"It's absurd!"The next moment, a mocking expression appeared on Andy's face. "Although I don't know how you managed to escape the pursuit of Monochrome Duo Wraiths, and still dared to come to Juneau to find us."But for someone who's come to die like you, I'm actually quite satisfied."He sneered and said, "Speak, how do you want to die?""Since all the members of your Nosh family are here." Liam imitated Andy's tone, showing a smile as he spoke, "Speak, how do you want to die?""You ignorant brat, you still dare to talk arrogantly!"Seeing this, the elder standing in front of Andy's eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light.Boom—In the next moment, his body paused sharply and, like a tiger descending from the mountain,
During all of this, Andy stood still, not moving at all. Even when the guests scattered in panic, he did not say a word.His muscles were tense, appearing calm on the outside, but in reality, he was extremely nervous!The reason was simple.His grandfather had sent Monochrome Duo Wraiths to the South City for a mission, but they had not completed it and returned to Juneau.Instead, their target had found him without any effort, calm and composed!Although Andy still could not believe that advanced martial arts Masters like Monochrome Duo Wraiths could not handle an unknown young man, the situation in front of him was already speaking for itself!Andy had no idea what had happened at that time. But he was sure that the young man standing before him, with his handsome looks, was not someone to be underestimated.Thus, Andy was fully alert!It was not just Andy.Inside the villa, there were also other members of the Nosh family who had not fled.Or rather, after what Liam had sa
"I'll give you a hint."Liam gave a faint smile, but there was no emotion behind it. "Your grandfather, Arkem, sent someone to South City to find me, didn't he?""South City…"Andy froze for a moment.The next moment, his body trembled, and his eyes widened in shock. "You... you're that... Liam Burrey?!"Although Yaksha had brought Godfrey's body to Juneau to meet Arkem in secret, with very few people knowing about it, over time, the news eventually spread through the Nosh family.Not to mention, Arkem had directly sent the Monochrome Duo Wraiths to South City.The sudden disappearance of Arkem's trusted aides, who had always been by his side, was bound to raise suspicion.Most importantly, the severed arm of Yaksha had not returned to South City but remained in Juneau with the Nosh family.Through his daily, hate-filled rants, many members of the Nosh family in Juneau had learned the name of the person who killed Godfrey — the mysterious Liam from South City!However, unlike
Elsa stood dazed in place.She stared at Michael, who had collapsed on the ground, already lifeless, her eyes trembling uncontrollably.Even now, Elsa could not accept it—her son had just died right in front of her!"I... I will fight you to the death!"In the next moment, Elsa suddenly lifted her head, her face contorted, her eyes wide with rage as she rushed towards Liam. "I'll make you bury my son!"You damn, knife-wielding b*stard, I will kill you!"Her hoarse cries echoed throughout the villa's living room."You're so desperate... want to die?"Seeing this, Liam lowered his head and looked at Elsa below."I..."Upon hearing Liam's words, Elsa trembled, suddenly snapping back to her senses.Although Michael's death left her heartbroken, Elsa was not ready to die—she had not lived enough yet!She could not possibly want to die!Elsa immediately stopped in her tracks."Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I don't want to die! My son is dead! That's enough! I don't want to die!
"I didn't expect that I hadn't found you yet, and you came right to my doorstep!"Speak! What is your purpose for following behind Elsa and the others and coming to my Nosh family's banquet?"He stared at Liam, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light.As the legitimate eldest grandson of the Nosh family in Juneau, Andy was no pampered, unskilled rich second generation. He was very intelligent!Andy clearly knew that following behind Elsa and the others without being noticed, and even sneaking into the villa without alarming security, was no ordinary feat.All of this was not something just anyone could accomplish!Therefore, when facing Liam, he did not act rashly.However, Andy was quite clever, but there were always those at the scene who did not understand the situation."I didn't expect this b*stard to dare follow us the whole way!" Michael suddenly reached out, pointing at Liam while speaking harshly, "And you still dare tell Mister Andy Nosh that we brought you here!"We
He noticed this scene.Andy's expression suddenly darkened, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.This villa was his private residence.Although it had been provided for the evening banquet, most of the villa contained Andy's personal belongings, especially on the second floor, where his bedroom was.If it were not for today's public display, Andy would never have allowed someone like Elsa to go up to the second floor of the villa!And now, someone actually dared to step onto the second floor of the villa without his permission!They were really courting death!"Who allowed you to go up there?"Andy's face was gloomy, and his voice was icy cold."Do I need your permission to go up there?"Liam looked down from a higher vantage point, answering淡ly."Do you dare speak to me like that?"As soon as Andy heard Liam's words, his expression changed dramatically.As the legitimate eldest grandson of the Nosh family, one of the most influential families in Juneau, the future
Elsa lifted her head and looked at Andy."I didn't mean that."Upon hearing this, Andy shook his head.He squinted as he examined Elsa, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.The fearful attitude that Elsa and Michael showed in front of him made Andy feel quite proud. This situation proved that he held supreme authority in their hearts.As long as this was the case, it meant he could easily control the Link family!However, controlling subordinates required more than just authority. It needed a balance of both favor and power!Only then could he leave a deep impression on the other guests at this banquet!"What I meant was, since you're unwell, you should get more rest."Andy's tone changed, and he smiled warmly, speaking in a friendly manner."As for the matter this time, I've understood it, and of course, you're not to blame.""Thank you, Mister Nosh!"Hearing Andy's words, Elsa's face lit up with surprise, and she repeatedly bowed to thank him."No need to thank m
"Don't say it's some kind of accident."Andy completely ignored Michael, once again disgustedly waving his hand at Elsa, who was still nearby. He wrinkled his nose at the faint smell of urine floating in the air. "Get away from me.""Eh! Alright, alright!"Elsa quickly nodded, retreating another step.Michael closely followed her, a forced smile on his face.In front of Andy, they did not dare show any of the unreasonableness they had displayed earlier when facing Liam!"Who would wear something like this to Mister Andy Nosh's banquet?""Not just the clothes, didn't you smell that urine odor coming from her?""I remember, they're from the Link family, the ones collaborating with Mister Andy Nosh on that cosmetics brand, right? This is just hilarious!"…Hearing this, other guests at the banquet could not help but burst into mocking laughter."That damn scoundrel, making me lose face like this. Once I get out of Mister Andy Nosh's house, I'm going to find him!"Hearing the v
It was precisely because of this series of reasons that, to avoid unnecessary trouble, they decided not to drive to the dinner. That's how they happened to run into Liam.One could say that a series of coincidences aligned to create the situation that unfolded today.Not far from the scene, the woman and the man turned a corner and entered a secluded villa area. Following the narrow path inside, they arrived at a mansion guarded by security, a lavish estate."We are here to attend Mister Andy Nosh's dinner."They quickly handed the invitation, which they had been holding, to the security at the door.This mansion was one of Andy's properties."Elsa Loony, Michael Link?"The security guard took the invitation and looked suspiciously at the man and woman standing before him."Yes, it's us! It's us!"The woman, Elsa, quickly nodded.Upon hearing this, the security guard squinted and gave Elsa a once-over, his eyes briefly flashing over her tattered clothing.Elsa smiled awkward
