"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
She dropped to the ground with a thud and grabbed her phone. "Mister Nagel is so kind; there's no way he would deceive us! He must be joking, it has to be…"Hailey kept muttering to herself as she shakily dialed Fahad's number.The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.Unwilling to give up, Hailey dialed again. But even after making over a dozen calls, the result was the same."I…"Hailey's body trembled. She turned her head toward Ronald, her eyes clinging to a shred of hope. "Maybe it's because Mister Nagel is asleep at this hour and didn't hear the phone…?"However, just then, the phone in Hailey's hand suddenly started ringing."Mister Nagel… you…"Her body shook, and without even looking at the screen, she quickly answered the call.However, before she could finish her sentence, Hailey froze. "You're from the legal department of South City Bank? Is there news about Mister Nagel?""How is that possible…"The moment she heard the voice on the other end of the l
"How is this possible... How is this possible..."Ronald's face was blank and expressionless.A nightmare.They never thought this day would come!It was clearly an investment product from South City Bank—how could something like this happen? How could Mister Nagel run off with their money?"Call the police... But with something like this... What good would calling the police even do..."He slowly lowered his head and looked at Serena, his voice filled with utter helplessness.Ronald understood.At this point, once the money was transferred, calling the police would be useless. The money couldn't possibly be recovered!"Mom! Try contacting South City Bank! Find out how many others were tricked by Fahad this time!"Suddenly, Ronald seemed to remember something. He spun around and shouted anxiously at Serena, his voice sharp and urgent:"If we band together with them, we'll definitely be able to catch Fahad!"Ronald's voice joined in as well. He stood to the side, gesturing w
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
