"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
Serena was utterly stunned by everything in front of her. She had no idea how to process it.How could something like this happen?Just five minutes ago, Hailey was still proudly flaunting in front of her, bragging about the financial products of South City Bank, claiming they were more reliable than anything the Lloyd Group could offer.However, the very next moment, this situation unfolded. Everything left Serena completely bewildered!Hailey's shrill screams, reminiscent of a slaughtered pig, continued to echo.Yet, a faint suspicion began to creep into Serena's mind.She could not shake the feeling that the events unfolding before her were too coincidental.It was entirely possible that Hailey and the others had been scammed.After all, Serena was well aware of the financial products available in the market—none of them could offer returns comparable to the Lloyd Group's internal reserve funds.However, the way it all happened so suddenly…And South City Bank's attitude—it
No wonder no one stopped them when Liam and she entered the Sky Harmoney Villa—it turned out they had already been marked from the moment they stepped in!But how did Liam figure it out?And why would just the two of them attract such a grand setup?Dianne turned her head, her eyes trembling as she looked at Liam.No matter what was going on, one thing was certain: they were trapped.There was a very real chance they were going to die here.Just then—Bang!The heavy copper-clad gates of the Nosh family's old residence suddenly swung open.At the same time, a voice filled with authority, yet laced with fury, rang out from within."I never thought you'd be audacious enough to take things this far!"Standing beneath the courtyard's central skylight, Arkem glared at Liam with undisguised hatred. "You killed my grandson, Andy, and now you've come straight to Sky Harmoney Villa to find me?"Liam shook his head and said indifferently, "I'm busy. Naturally, I have to make good use
"Li… Liam…"Dianne hurriedly ran up to Liam, grabbing his arm as she gasped for breath. "We should head back first," she urged."Since Sky Harmoney Villa can be entered and exited freely now, we can take some time to prepare. Even if we really want to kill Arkem, our chances of success will be much higher if we plan carefully instead of acting on impulse!"Dianne was serious.It was clear that under Liam's influence, and now that they could come and go from Sky Harmoney Villa freely, she was truly considering the possibility of killing Arkem.However, such a thing required meticulous planning!Acting recklessly like Liam had today was definitely not an option."No need."Just then, Liam's calm voice rang out."We're already here.""Here?"Dianne froze upon hearing this. She lifted her head and looked ahead.Unknowingly, they had already reached the depths of Sky Harmoney Villa. They now stood in front of a grand estate, adorned with intricate carvings, towering walls, and a
Liam's stubbornness made Dianne furious!She wanted to see just how Liam planned to get himself killed!Seeing this, Liam could only shake his head helplessly.But knowing that no matter what he said, Dianne wouldn't believe him, he didn't bother explaining.Soon, Liam and Dianne arrived near Sky Harmoney Villa. From a distance, they could see the inner city of Juneau, with its centuries-old city walls standing tall.Sky Harmoney Villa was situated right at the foot of these walls.Reaching this place meant they had officially stepped into the heart of Juneau!Despite its name, Sky Harmoney Villa wasn't an actual manor. Instead, it was an elite residential district composed of interconnected courtyard houses, with no defined walls or gates.After all, ordinary people could never set foot here!The name 'Sky Harmoney' was coined by a renowned feng shui master, who determined that the geography of this area was ideal for gathering energy.And indeed, this place was worthy of be
Stepping out of the car, Liam walked straight toward the Sky Harmoney Villa.Seeing this, Dianne's face flashed with urgency, and she hurriedly followed behind him."We've arrived at Sky Harmoney Villa, but we probably won't even be able to get in. Are you still determined to go?"She tried to persuade Liam as they walked. "I've been talking to you so much, and you haven't listened to a single word!""Can't you calm down and think for a second? Do you really believe this will work?"Frustration surfaced on Dianne's delicate face. "What you're doing now is no different from throwing your life away!"She truly could not understand why Liam seemed so possessed, dead set on seeking revenge against Arkem!Revenge was one thing, but charging in recklessly like this was nothing short of suicide!"The one dying won't be me. It will be Arkem."Liam turned to look at Dianne, a faint smile on his lips. "If you're really worried, then just wait for me here. I should be back soon.""Back
"You..."Inside the car, Dianne stared at Liam, speechless.At first, when Liam told her that he knew where Arkem was, she did not think much of it.But now, the moment she heard the words "Sky Harmoney Villa," she realized that the man beside her might actually know Arkem's whereabouts.And they were now truly on a path to their deaths."Can you tell me what you're thinking?"Dianne sighed, deciding to try persuading him. "You know Arkem has been looking for you all this time. So why are you walking straight into his hands?"She had always thought of herself as reckless.But standing beside Liam, she felt like her impulsiveness was nothing in comparison.Even when she sought revenge, she had never once considered going directly after Arkem."It's precisely because he's been looking for me that I have to meet him."Liam turned his head to look at her and replied calmly.Dianne looked at him, her face full of helplessness.She had no idea how to reason with someone like him
"You…"Hearing Liam's words, Dianne was even more stunned. A hint of urgency flashed across her delicate and captivating face. "Even if you know where Arkem is, that doesn't mean you can do anything about him!""Just the two of us? How could we possibly be a match for Arkem!"Dianne was extremely anxious.It was not that she did not want to take action against Arkem, but Liam's proposal was simply too outrageous!Who was Arkem?How could they possibly make a move against him?Even dealing with Andy was already a huge risk, let alone targeting Arkem, the head of the Nosh family!She could not understand.Even if Arkem wanted this young man's life, he shouldn't be acting so recklessly!Going after Arkem so rashly was no different from seeking death!"You don't need to do anything."Hearing the anxious voice beside him, Liam turned his head and spoke calmly, "When I kill Arkem, you just need to watch from the side.""You… What's wrong with you?!"Dianne's face grew even more
On the path of seeking revenge on the Nosh family, finding a companion made her heart no longer feel as helpless and lonely as it once had."You just reminded me, if we're going to take revenge on the Nosh family, we must make it unforgettable for them!"With that, she gently clenched her teeth, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes. "Andy is really a good choice, but to take action against Andy, we must make a proper plan!""We can't be as reckless as last time!"Dianne's face was serious. It was clear that she was truly considering the matter of targeting Andy.However, before Dianne could speak again, Liam's voice rang out."Don't bother thinking about targeting Andy."His expression was calm, his tone indifferent."Why?"At his words, Dianne raised her head to look at Liam. "Andy is the eldest grandson of the Nosh family. If something happens to him, it would be the biggest blow to the Nosh family!""Are you afraid?"She furrowed her brow.Liam's reaction disappointed Dian
In the past, Dianne lived a carefree life, like a princess without worries.However, after returning to the country, everything changed!What Dianne couldn't accept the most was that her parents, who had once cherished her, passed away under the torment of the Nosh family. Other members of the Brown family either died or went mad.She went mad trying to find a way to take revenge on the Nosh family.However, the once proud Brown family could never be a match for the powerful Nosh family of Juneau.Now, with Dianne all alone, how could she possibly take on the Nosh family?During her time back in the country, she tried countless methods and made many attempts, but in the end, all were in vain. Not only did she fail, but she also ended up drawing the Nosh family's attention to her existence.The Nosh family of Juneau loomed over her like an endless storm cloud in the sky, bringing Dianne overwhelming despair.She had exhausted all her efforts, but was powerless to resist or escap
Dianne looked at Liam, a helpless expression crossing her face. "I didn't expect that you'd be even more impulsive than I am! I suppose this time, you're lucky."Otherwise, with the strength of the Nosh family, you probably wouldn't have made it out alive."She turned around and glanced at the two scissors that had fallen to the ground, bitterness filling her gaze. "But looking at it now, it seems we both underestimated the situation!"Dianne's slender back was filled with sorrow."Are you seeking revenge on Andy, or other members of the Nosh family?"Looking at the scene before him, Liam's eyes flashed with confusion. He could see Dianne's deep hatred for the Nosh family, but what he did not understand was who exactly her hatred was directed at."As long as they're from the Nosh family, I want to kill them all!""Killing Andy would be the best, but if I can't even kill you, how could I possibly take on the Nosh family's legitimate eldest grandson, who is protected by experts?"
