There were still plenty of matters to handle.No time to waste arguing with Etchen!"Hmph!"Watching Serena leave, Etchen snorted disdainfully."Look at that! Serena's really becoming more and more unruly!"Even after Serena left, Hailey's anger had not subsided. Turning to Ronald, she snapped, "She's getting too bold! Just over this tiny issue, she dares to scold us now!"She firmly believed all of this was Serena's fault."Though, to be fair, this time, we did mishandle things a little," Ronald admitted, his face clouded with a tinge of complexity. He spoke in a low voice, "After all, the way we acted back then, we really didn't consider other factors…"He had a relatively clear understanding of the situation."Who had time to think about all that back then?" Hailey glared at Ronald angrily. "If we really followed your cautious approach and hadn't withdrawn the money, who knows who'd have their hands on it now?""Sigh…"Ronald did not respond, only letting out a soft sigh.
Not long after, three people walked out of the South City Bank headquarters, beaming with joy."Mom, didn't I tell you it wouldn't be a problem?"Leading the way, Etchen beamed with pride. "Once we decided to invest in their multi-year financial products, they had no choice but to increase our returns accordingly. We're VIP clients, after all!""Look at this—keeping the funds in the South City Bank yields better returns than leaving it in the Etchen Group. I just don't understand where Serena gets the nerve to act so arrogant in front of us!"Mentioning Serena brought a flash of irritation across Etchen's face."Exactly!"Standing beside him, Hailey could not help but grin from ear to ear. "Who would've thought withdrawing the money this time would turn out to be such a blessing in disguise!""Sigh…"Only Ronald let out a faint sigh after hearing what Hailey and Etchen said.Although the returns were indeed impressive, Ronald still felt something wasn't quite right about the w
However, Liam was not interested in dealing with the three members of the Lloyd family, but Hailey and the others clearly had different ideas."Well, well, look who it is!"Etchen, stepped directly in front of Liam, speaking with a mocking tone. "Isn't this the famous Liam? Why aren't you hanging out with that rich girl from the Hill family? What brings you to South City Bank all by yourself?""Oh! Don't tell me—did she send you your living allowance this month, and now you're here to withdraw it?"His face was full of scorn as he continued, "I have to hand it to you. Wherever you go, you seem to latch onto a wealthy woman. I could never pull that off!"Lately, because of matters related to Serena, Etchen had been bottling up his anger.Now, seeing Liam, all he wanted was to vent his frustration.After all, Serena used to defend Liam at every turn. Venting his rage on Liam felt like a twisted form of revenge against her.Not to mention, Liam had indeed caused the Lloyd Group a
"All these years, what exactly have you done to help our Lloyd Group?"Hailey looked at Liam with disdain and mocked, "People like you, aside from dragging down Lloyd Group, what else have you done?""After breaking up with Serena, you latched onto that young lady from the Hill family, even relying on her to send you living expenses. You come to the bank to withdraw money, what else could you possibly be doing?"She sneered, her eyes filled with contempt for Liam."Who told you I came to South City Bank to withdraw money that Lucy gave me?"Hearing Hailey's words, Liam frowned tightly."After you got out of prison, you didn't even have a job. If it weren't for relying on women to support you, you'd probably have starved by now!"Before Hailey could respond, Etchen's voice sounded, mocking as he looked at Liam, "You came to South City Bank, not to take the living expenses from that young lady of the Hill family. What else could you be doing?""Heh..." Liam laughed in anger, shaki
They never expected that Liam would be the one to reveal the true reason they came to South City Bank this time!"Could it be that Liam really has some connection with South City Bank?"Ronald's face immediately turned serious. Because if it were not for this reason, how could Liam possibly know such a secret matter?"That traitor, Serena!"However, the next moment, before Ronald could speak, Hailey's angry voice, clenched through gritted teeth, rang out."When we left today, she specifically told us not to tell anyone, but in the end, she turned around and told all of it to Liam, that good-for-nothing!"If we hadn't come to South City Bank today, we would have never known that Serena is still in contact with that good-for-nothing!"Her chubby face was full of intense fury!"Serena..."Hearing this, Ronald's body suddenly stiffened.He also realized. It was extremely unlikely that Liam had any connection with South City Bank!Compared to that possibility, the idea that every
"After causing so much trouble for the Lloyd family all this time, now he dares to curse that we'll lose money from the financial products we bought!"Looking at Liam's back, Hailey's eyes flashed with more disgust as she spat and said, "I must have been blind before to choose such a useless piece of trash as my son-in-law. He's good for nothing!""I never expected Liam to turn out like this."Ronald looked at Liam with a trace of mockery in his eyes. "He doesn't even know his own worth. Doesn't he look at himself? He dares to threaten us like this!""Dad! Mom! I think we shouldn't care too much about Liam right now. After all, he's just an outsider!"At that moment, Etchen's voice rang out. He looked grim, and coldly said, "What we need to do now is go back and ask Serena how she dared to tell all our business to that useless Liam!""Exactly!" Upon hearing this, Hailey's face grew cold. "I'm going back to ask Serena whether she even considers me her mother! How dare she tell tha
"Are you talking about Hailey?"Upon hearing this, Liam finally understood what Fahad meant.However, in the next moment, he narrowed his eyes, and a cold gleam flashed in his gaze. "Is this how South City Bank teaches you to speak?""Heh..."Hearing Liam's words, Fahad froze for a moment, then a look of disdainful mockery appeared on his face. "What has South City Bank taught me? Who are you to point fingers? You're just here to handle a business, what are you even worth!""I'll tell you this: if you don't obediently go take a number, don't blame me for having security throw you out..."He lifted his chin and arrogantly spoke.However, before Fahad could finish his sentence...Slap!Liam raised his hand, and a slap landed hard on Fahad's face.It was a brutal slap!Fahad was instantly stunned!His face began to swell, with a red, five-finger mark clearly visible."I'll teach you the first lesson. No matter what the client is here for, you show respect the moment they arri
"Mister Nagel…"Upon hearing Fahad's words, the security guard at the front turned around with a frightened expression, about to say something.However, before the guard could speak, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out from behind!A middle-aged man with a refined demeanor and a kind face, accompanied by several staff members, was rushing toward the crowd."Mister Herrington!"Seeing the man appear, Fahad immediately stood up straight. Angrily, he pointed at the nearby security guards and began complaining, "The security at our bank is really poor. They've let someone come here and bully our staff, and they're just standing there like fools!"This refined and kind man was none other than the newly appointed president of South City Bank, Jim Herrington.Unlike the previous president, Kris, Jim had a very good temper and got along well with most of the staff. Otherwise, Fahad wouldn't have dared to speak so rudely and complain so directly."It's this scoundrel, he cam
"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
