At that moment, another policeman on the scene caught sight of Triboar lying on the ground, clutching a handgun. He tensed up abruptly and turned toward Vincent. "Captain Harmon, there's a gun!" Vincent's demeanor changed instantly. His hand went straight to the gun at his waist as he turned to face Liam. "I advise you not to resist. Come with us quietly to the station!"The other police officers also tensed up when they heard about the gun, surrounding Liam as if facing a formidable foe.Liam sighed softly. "Why do things like this keep happening today?"Then, he looked at the police officers ahead and calmly remarked, "There's no need to be so nervous. If I wanted to do something, you couldn't stop me."Before Vincent could respond, Liam spoke again. "Could you please lend me a phone? I need to make a call."Clearly, he just wanted to resolve the situation at hand quickly. However, upon hearing Liam's words, the tension among the police officers escalated.Vincent's hand ti
Upon witnessing Liam's consistent resistance and even contemplating whom to call next in frustration, Vincent resorted to contacting Liam's relatives for information.After all, the case involved fatalities—even bordering on firearms—marking it as a major crime.However, Vincent was unaware of what was happening. Just as he began accessing Liam's information through the internal system, a warning, previously embedded in Liam's file, suddenly activated.Due to its unique geographical position, South City was a coveted location in military strategies.Hestia's Central Military Region's base was located 60 kilometers north of South City. The base exuded an air of solemnity and grandeur.Inside the headquarters, Commander Gabriel Warren of the Central Military Region was reviewing the latest exercise simulations. Suddenly, a guard rushed in and exclaimed, "General, we have a level one alert!"Gabriel sprang from his chair, questioning him with authority. "What's going on?"A level
"Do you even know your own family? Well, just wait then!" Vincent snorted coldly.Seeing Liam still being uncooperative, Vincent gave him a cold glance before taking his seat at the interrogation table, choosing silence after that.Not long after, a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly came from outside the interrogation room."Where's Liam? Where is he?"Accompanied by the melodious female voice, a graceful figure pushed open the interrogation room door, appearing before everyone."Miss Lloyd?"Seeing the newcomer, Vincent was momentarily stunned.Anyone who followed the financial news in South City would recognize the elegant and beautiful woman before them.It was the one and only Serena Lloyd—the CEO of the Lloyd Corporation.Due to the lack of system updates, Liam's spouse was still listed as Serena.When Vincent made the phone call earlier, he had wondered how Liam's spouse shared the same name as the president of the Lloyd Corporation. However, he never imagined that Liam
"Let's not dwell on the past. You came to the police station right after receiving the news. What more do you want?"Liam watched the scene unfold, his eyes calm but intense.Serena's exquisite face suddenly flashed with anger. "Are you planning to return to prison for a few more years to be happy?"Tobias chimed in beside Serena with a sneer. "You're really something, Liam. You just got back from the provincial capital, and now you've landed in the police station. You turned Serena's family into a mess, yet she still came to save you. Isn't that enough for you? Don't be ungrateful."Hearing that Liam had been arrested in South City, Tobias immediately assumed he had sneaked back from the provincial capital. Although he did not know what had happened with the Hill family, he was certain it was not good. Otherwise, Liam would not have returned to South City so quickly.Instead of keeping a low profile, Liam had managed to get himself arrested. It was almost laughable.Liam raised
"Never would I have imagined you'd dare to take responsibility for something like this!" Liam snapped, but his anger soon morphed into a smirk. He had not anticipated Tobias to be so audacious, brazenly spewing nonsense.Serena frowned in disgust. "Liam! You have no idea the great favors Mister Corona has bestowed upon the Lloyd family! If I had known you were like this, I wouldn't have come to the station to help you, Liam. Let me make it clear. This is the last time. From now on, don't expect any help from me!"Liam's heart boiled with fury as he saw Serena trust a stranger rather than him. "I needed you to come to the station to save me? A mere police station—I could leave whenever I pleased!""You…"Serena's voice was caught in her throat as she stared at Liam, her chest heaving with pent-up frustration. Although she had shown clear disdain for Liam just moments ago, the truth was that she rushed to the police station the second she received news of his arrest.Along the w
Serena and Tobias had already left the police station by then. As they drove back, they noticed that the once spacious road was filled with one military vehicle after another, forming a vast and imposing convoy.The convoy continued in the direction they came from, heading toward their departure point—the police station."What's going on?"Serena could not help but feel nervous. She had never seen such a display of military presence, and the fact that those vehicles were heading to the police station heightened her anxiety.Tobias seemed indifferent, as if it did not concern him in the slightest. "Don't worry about it. It's probably just a military exercise or something."Serena replied with worry on her usually composed face. "They're heading towards the police station. Shouldn't we go back and check?"Although Serena had always expressed disdain for Liam, she could not help but worry about his safety at the first sign of trouble.Noticing her reaction, Tobias frowned. "Go back
"Why is it so noisy outside?"Vincent became annoyed as the commotion outside the interrogation room grew louder. Initially irritated by Liam's defiant behavior, Vincent's displeasure deepened with the increasing racket outside.Vincent turned to Walter, frowning as he commanded, "Walter, go check it out! Find out who's causing trouble. If they don't listen, show them some authority!"As the captain of the criminal investigation police, Vincent's authority within the station was not to be trifled with."Yes, sir!" Following the captain's orders, Walter, holding a teacup, pushed open the door of the interrogation room and stepped out."Hmph!"Vincent snorted in annoyance before turning his gaze to Liam. "I'll give you one last chance. Get out of here!"Liam remained calm, his expression serene as he replied softly, "I've already told you. There would be no issues if you had allowed me to make a phone call earlier, but now, I can't leave even if I wanted to until this matter is
The police station was unexpectedly surrounded by a large group of soldiers instantly. Confronted with the sight of thousands of dark gun barrels pointed their way, Vincent could not even steady himself for a moment.It was not just Vincent. The other police officers in the station were also trembling uncontrollably. They were holding on by sheer willpower, preventing themselves from collapsing to the ground.Compared to Vincent, the other police officers felt the impact directly since they could clearly see the military vehicles driving in one by one, completely encircling the station. Soldiers stood in neat rows, their rifles gleaming."What on earth is happening..."Vincent's voice trembled incessantly. He wanted to know why the situation had unfolded before them.After all, military forces rarely entered urban areas, let alone encircle a police station.Vincent could not fathom what their station might have done to incur the military's wrath to that extent. However, as we
"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
"We've been preparing for so long, just for this banquet hosted by Mister Andy Nosh!"The woman cried with a long face and said, "Now that it's come to this, if we go to the banquet, aren't we just going to embarrass ourselves?""Umm..."Hearing this, the man turned around, looking at the woman whose clothes were torn into shreds, emitting a foul smell of urine, and was momentarily stunned.Forget about the woman's feelings. Even the man himself felt that his mother was somewhat embarrassing at the moment."We should hurry back and let me take a bath and change clothes!"The woman stopped in her tracks and anxiously spoke to the man."Mom, there's no time!" Hearing this, the man lowered his head and glanced at the time. A troubled expression crossed his face. "You know, Mister Andy Nosh can't stand people being late!""We'll explain it to him, he'll definitely understand." He lifted his head to look at the woman.This banquet was truly important to them; otherwise, they would
Seeing this, the man whispered, "Also, the paramedics said that if we don't cut open your clothes, you might really lose your life..."Hearing the man's words, the woman's face immediately turned pale!"I..."She glanced at Liam, then turned to look at the other paramedics nearby, opening her mouth but unable to say a word.This time, the woman, having understood the situation, looked as if she had lost everything.There was no longer the slightest hint of the arrogance and insolence she had shown earlier!"Now that you've woken up, are you going to the hospital with us or not?"Looking at the woman, the paramedic continued with his previous question."If we don't go to the hospital, will my mom suddenly have another episode?"The man spoke up."After the epilepsy situation stabilizes, it should be fine for now. Actually, if your mom hadn't acted rashly earlier, it should've been okay," the paramedic glanced at the man and said, "But the condition still exists, and further tr
