However, all of a sudden, Liam seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head to look at Jim and asked, "If we proceed like this, does South City Bank bear any responsibility?"Seeing the situation in front of him, Jim suddenly reacted.Those three clients who came to South City Bank to handle large-denomination certificates of deposit might have had some conflict with Grandmaster Burrey.He could not figure out what kind of task would dare provoke Grandmaster Burrey.However, now was not the time to dwell on that."What responsibility could we possibly have!" Jim raised his head and responded, "That contract was privately signed between them and Fahad. It has nothing to do with South City Bank."Giving them a reminder is already South City Bank being conscientious and responsible!"At this point, he pursed his lips, full of disdain for the three people handling the business."Those three who signed the contract are fools. Who would dare sign a deal at that interest r
"Is that so?"Upon hearing this, Liam narrowed his eyes slightly.Initially, when Serena mentioned the background of Union Finance's connections in Juneau, Liam did not pay much attention to it.But now, it seemed that things weren't as simple as he had thought.The forces behind Union Finance appeared far from ordinary!"Yes, Grandmaster Burrey."Hearing this, Jim nodded earnestly. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again with caution, "It's said that the forces backing Union Finance are rather ruthless.We'd better be careful..."A hint of worry flashed across his face."I see." Liam squinted his eyes and nodded lightly. "Understood."Seeing that Grandmaster Burrey had taken his words to heart, Jim smiled with relief.To think that such a powerful figure, who could turn the tides single-handedly, was still willing to listen to his advice.This only deepened Jim's respect for Liam!"Alright, if there's nothing else, get back to work."Liam then stood up, ready to lea
"Sir… this matter… it's entirely my responsibility!"Yaksha stammered in terror, "But it mainly happened too suddenly. We never expected the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation would make a sudden move against us."Before this, there wasn't any conflict between us…"His voice trembled as he spoke, and he appeared utterly frightened."No conflict?" Hearing this, the elder's gaze turned colder. "Whether there was a conflict or not, Union Finance shouldn't have been left without the ability to fight back!"But that Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation is truly seeking death!"As he spoke, he lifted his head, a sinister gleam flashing in his eyes. "A mere foundation, relying on luck to create some herbal medicine, and they think they've become somebody?""To dare challenge the Nosh family!"The elder's voice was laced with murderous intent.Despite his dissatisfaction with Yaksha, he also understood that this situation had largely been caused by the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation
"We've recently taken an interest in the medicinal herb Bellflower held by the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation," the elder said with a sinister smile."Thank you, Sir! Thank you, Sir!"Hearing the elder's willingness to avenge Godfrey, Yaksha's face lit up with ecstatic relief. Kneeling on the ground, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude.In truth, this time, Yaksha brought Godfrey's corpse to Juneau not just to plead for forgiveness.The main reason was to convince the Nosh family in Juneau to avenge Godfrey!The pain of losing his son had driven Yaksha to the brink of madness.However, just then, the elder's emotionless voice resounded again."You don't need to worry about Godfrey's matter. I will handle it."He looked at Yaksha impassively. "As for your mistakes this time, though caused by your grief over your son's death, you failed to safeguard the family's assets. You may avoid the death penalty, but punishment is inevitable!""You mentioned earlier that you are will
In the end, Liam could only give up reluctantly.After all, there was nothing bad about it!On the contrary, with more rest, his inner energy had grown slightly.With such a benefit, why not embrace it?Lying in bed, Liam originally planned to play on his phone for a while, but before long, he fell into a deep sleep and drifted into dreamland!However, after Liam fell asleep, he did not notice the faint glow that suddenly flickered across his cherished Zenith Token.The token, originally ancient and weathered with the marks of time, seemed to tremble slightly, as if those mottled traces were on the verge of peeling off.However, at the last moment, just as the marks were about to fall away, it was as if some force held them in place, causing them to return to the surface of the token once again!Even so, that brief glimpse was enough to reveal what lay beneath the weathered surface of the Zenith Token.It was a resplendent shade of gold!Anyone who saw this gold would have on
"As for Liam, that's even more impossible!"Serena shook her head vigorously. "Other than the last time when Liam brought in a miraculous doctor to cure the poisoned patients at Golden Cross Hospital, we've had no contact at all!"How could I possibly tell Liam about Dad and Mom secretly using the reserve fund?"And yet, here you are, pretending to be clueless to my face!"However...Hearing Serena's words only made Hailey even more furious. She snapped angrily, "If you didn't tell Liam about all this, how would he know that we withdrew the reserve fund and put it in South City Bank?"And let me tell you, this money was always between me, your dad, and your brother. There's no such thing as us secretly using it!"Hailey glared at Serena with wide eyes."Liam knows the money is at South City Bank?"The moment Hailey said this, Serena froze, a flash of shock crossing her stunningly beautiful face."Still pretending! Keep pretending!"Hailey's chubby face was full of rage. "He
"He realized that using the emergency fund couldn't threaten us anymore, so he started cursing that our investments would go bankrupt and that we wouldn't get a single cent of return!"With her head held high, she glared at Serena. "If you didn't tell Liam, how could he possibly know so much…?""I…"Hearing this, Serena froze. She opened her mouth but had no idea how to respond.She knew for a fact that she hadn't shared any of this information with Liam.However, listening to Hailey's accusations, even Serena herself began to doubt whether she had somehow leaked it. Because Liam simply had no way of knowing all this!How could he have obtained such inside information?Even if it was through Lucy, it would have been impossible for him to learn about internal affairs of the Lloyd Group!But then…What exactly was going on here?Serena could not make sense of it at all!"Nothing to say? Why not keep making excuses?"Seeing Serena's reaction, Hailey sneered, her small, beady e
Hailey glanced at her phone.When she saw the incoming number, she froze for a moment, then shot Serena a vicious glare. "I'll deal with you later!"Then, she answered the call. Her face lit up with a bright smile, and she greeted warmly, "Hello! Mister Nagel, is there something you need? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"Hailey's attitude was completely different from how she had just treated Serena.However, the moment she heard the voice on the other end of the line, her body trembled and froze in place."What did you say?" Her expression changed abruptly, her voice filled with panic. "Say that again?"No way! That's impossible!"It was not clear what Hailey heard, but her plump face turned ghostly pale, and her eyes quivered. "It's impossible! You must be lying!""We just met with Mister Nagel earlier and discussed the investment returns. How could something like this happen?"She shook her head vigorously, refusing to believe any of it.Yet, the voice on the other
Therefore, this man had no idea what was happening on the main stage. He could only see that Matthew's expression had changed."Maybe he's worried about the performance of our Western Military Region's special forces instructor this time."Hearing the frivolous man's words, another officer sitting nearby explained."Heh..."The frivolous man tilted his head and scoffed, "With the Central Military Region's lousy skills, how could they possibly make Commander Pines worried!""Kenton, you can't say that!"The officer quickly shook his head. "Have you forgotten the performance of the Nine Nether Squad in the special forces competition? Their significant improvement was all because of that mysterious instructor, Grandmaster Burrey!"He spoke solemnly, "The Central Military Region is no longer that simple!"The frivolous man was none other than Kenton, the officer from the Western Military Region whom Serena had contacted earlier!However, despite his seemingly high status in the We
"Matthew, it's fine. If you still want to continue the investigation, our Central Military Region can cooperate!"Seeing Matthew's expression, Gabriel felt even more satisfied. He pretended to be sincere and spoke again, "Investigate a bit more, and maybe you can feel at ease.""No need!" Hearing this, Matthew's face turned even darker. He shook his head and said stiffly, "The military's orders have been issued, telling me to stop the investigation."The Special Forces Instructor Exchange Conference is about to start soon. Let's focus on that for now."With that, Matthew turned to look at the stadium below.However, judging by his clenched jaw, it was clear that his mood was far from calm."Heh…"Seeing this, Gabriel chuckled silently.He felt immensely satisfied!Meanwhile, the others on the main stage heard the exchange between Gabriel and Matthew, and their eyes flickered with surprise.Although the sudden news from the military, admitting that the Bastion Squad had lied,
All of this brought immense shock to Gabriel!With his understanding, he could not even begin to imagine how Grandmaster Burrey managed to pull this off, how he got the Bastion Squad to change their stance in such a short time.For a moment, Gabriel's mind was in chaos.And it was not just him.The other high-ranking officials on the stage had also received the same notification, and a look of shock flashed across their faces.Clearly, none of them had expected such a turn of events.The intelligence from the Bastion Squad seemed almost like a joke!Luckily, everyone around was too shocked to notice.Otherwise, Gabriel's earlier startled reaction would have already exposed a lot.But soon, Gabriel managed to regain his composure.However, it was not because he figured things out—rather, it was because he could not make sense of it, so he just stopped trying!After all, the existence of Grandmaster Burrey was beyond someone like him to understand!The one thing Gabriel was s
"Old Warren, sorry, I need to take a call."Matthew glanced at Gabriel and spoke with a smile.At this moment, his expression was full of confidence, as if victory was in his grasp.Then, Matthew picked up his phone and answered the call.However—"What?"The instant he heard the voice on the other end, his expression froze!"How is that possible!"Matthew's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "Are you sure? How could the Bastion Squad do such a thing!"Hearing Matthew's words, Gabriel was stunned for a moment.Originally, his heart was full of tension and anxiety.After all, Matthew's preparations this time were incredibly thorough.But what on earth was happening now!What happened to the Bastion Squad that made Matthew show such an expression?And at that very moment, Gabriel's phone also rang.He glanced down and saw it was a call from the military headquarters.Frowning, he answered the call.And the instant he heard the voice on the other end, his body
Seeing this scene, Gabriel's heart sank even deeper!From his perspective, it seemed that Grandmaster Burrey still didn’t realize how urgent the situation had become.Recalling what happened earlier—Grandmaster Burrey’s confident demeanor, believing that he could handle the matter through the Bastion Squad—brought a bitter look to Gabriel's face.Even if Grandmaster Burrey truly had a way to resolve the Bluebird dispute through the Bastion Squad, it was probably too late by now.Seeing this scene, Matthew frowned slightly. He turned his head, following Gabriel's gaze, and looked backward.Ever since Gabriel had taken his seat at the main table, he had been glancing back occasionally, even during such a tense moment.Matthew could not figure out what was behind them that could make Gabriel so concerned.Noticing Matthew's actions, Gabriel's expression changed.He realized he was already losing his composure and might even expose Grandmaster Burrey."We will definitely follow
"There really aren't any clues…"Hearing Matthew's words, Gabriel exhaled softly.He turned his head, his voice steady and emotionless as he responded, "You also know that as the captain of the Nine Nether Squad, Bluebird's strength was extraordinary."If Bluebird really isn't dead and can even take on the entire Bastion Squad alone, then finding her won't be easy at all."Gabriel tried hard to downplay the matter concerning Bluebird.He appeared calm, but in reality, Matthew's words had already brought him a great sense of urgency."But…"Matthew narrowed his eyes, staring at Gabriel. "Back then, it was you, Old Warren, who reported Bluebird's death to the military. Weren't you certain when you did that?""Of course I was," Gabriel nodded, replying earnestly."That's why I was so surprised when I heard you say that Bluebird might not be dead, because it's just impossible…"However, before he could finish, Matthew interrupted him."If that's the case…"Matthew revealed a sl
However, anyone who can become a commander of the military district is no simple character.When Gabriel took the stage, the cold expression on Matthew's face instantly disappeared, replaced by a cheerful smile."Old Warren, you finally made it!" He stood up and said with a laugh, "We've been waiting for ages!""It's not my fault. The Special Ops Instructor Exchange was suddenly moved up, and I almost wasn't prepared," Gabriel grumbled, throwing a glare at Matthew.Then, he was about to take a seat.But just as Gabriel was about to bend down, he suddenly paused and stopped in his tracks.He subtly turned his head to glance at Liam, who was standing behind him.With Grandmaster Burrey present, how could he dare sit in the main seat?"Go ahead and sit."Before Gabriel could say anything, Liam's calm voice rang out. He gently placed a hand on Gabriel's shoulder.Although it seemed light, Gabriel could feel an irresistible force emanating from Grandmaster Burrey's hand, causing h
However, before Gabriel could say anything else, he saw Grandmaster Burrey ahead turn his head and glance at Bluebird.The moment Liam's gaze was noticed, Bluebird's figure flickered and vanished instantly."What the…"Seeing this, Gabriel's body trembled, instantly freezing in place.If the first time Bluebird appeared behind him without a sound was because he had let his guard down and hadn't paid attention, then now, Bluebird had vanished right under his nose!In fact, Gabriel could not even see how the situation just unfolded!This scene left him completely stunned!What on earth was going on?Ever since the martial competition with the special ops squad, after Bluebird was saved by Grandmaster Burrey, not only did the scars on his face disappear without a trace, but even his strength had become so unbelievably powerful?For a moment, Gabriel was filled with shock!"What's wrong?"However, Liam did not pay attention to Gabriel's odd behavior. When he noticed Gabriel stan
Gabriel laughed.He knew better than anyone how much Grandmaster Burrey disliked trouble.That's why he had not even considered informing Liam about the upcoming All-Army Special Forces Instructor Exchange Conference."But..."At that moment, a thought seemed to cross his mind.He suddenly paused, a complex look flashing in his eyes."I really didn't expect that the existence of martial artists in the Hestia military could be kept from me for so long..."It was evident.After the members of the Nine Nether Squad stepped into the martial path, it was impossible to keep it hidden any longer. As a result, Gabriel finally learned about the martial arts world.And the more he understood, the more dissatisfied he felt.In fact, there was even a hint of worry in his heart.To keep such a secret from the entire Central Military Region for so many years—even allowing them to suffer humiliation during the Special Forces competition without revealing a single word about martial artist
