A surging, overwhelming aura erupted from Liam's body, reaching the heavens and shaking the earth!In an instant, under the influence of this intense aura, the once-chaotic cafe seemed as if it were swept by a violent storm. Objects all around trembled incessantly!For the first time, Liam, fueled by anger, fully unleashed his inner energy as his aura surged ever higher!"What…"The moment this scene unfolded, a flicker of shock flashed through the eyes of Bluebird.As someone who had reached the peak of martial arts—a true martial arts Ascendant—Bluebird's progress in martial arts was closely linked to Liam. However, she had broken through a critical barrier and stepped into a new realm!Though she was aware of Liam's extraordinary strength, after stepping into the martial arts Ascendant level, Bluebird never ceased her cultivation. She even believed that the gap between herself and Grandmaster Burrey was steadily narrowing.Yet now, as this scene unfolded before her, Bluebird
"Impossible!"The moment that tall figure appeared beside him, Black Wraith's eyes widened in shock, his gaze flashing with utter disbelief."How can you be this fast?"He could not believe it.Liam's speed was beyond anything he had ever imagined!Just a second ago, Liam was still hundreds of meters away, but in the blink of an eye, he was already right beside him.If the aura emanating from Liam earlier had already made Black Wraith's heart tremble, then now… This unimaginable speed made him fully grasp the terrifying implications of Liam's overwhelming presence!All of this… It was completely beyond Black Wraith's comprehension.But in the face of Black Wraith's terrified exclamation, Liam remained silent.His expression was emotionless, his eyes devoid of any fluctuation."I..."This sight plunged Black Wraith into boundless fear.His body trembled as he considered a last-ditch effort to escape!However, the moment he tried to act, he froze. Because Liam was already i
It was autumn. It had been drizzling continuously. Raindrops fell on the uneven ground, forming puddles.There was silence at the South City, Third Prison entrance. It seemed like it had been quiet for some time. Soon, the sound of the prison gate opening shattered the silence.A man with a tall figure, an elegant demeanor and sharp eyebrows stepped out of the prison gate. He crushed the puddles beneath his feet as he walked forward slowly. "It's been four years..." he murmured. The man stood at the prison gate, feeling uneasy as he looked up at the sky. A fleeting sense of nostalgia crossed his sharply defined face.It had been four years since he took the blame for his wife's, Serena Lloyd's, family. He had been imprisoned, cut off from the outside world. While recalling his time in prison, he smirked with mixed emotions. He had never imagined having such unbelievable experiences while being imprisoned.His hand subconsciously reached for his waist. On it was a needle case
"Here's what you wanted," Liam said as he handed over the documents to Serena after signing them.He only signed the divorce agreement. Liam did not even glance at all the property transfer documents!Grace reached out and took the documents."Wait!" Just then, Serena sighed softly, reaching into the stack of papers and pulling out one. "This is the transfer agreement of the cafe where we first met." She handed it to Liam. "You may decline everything else to spare your dignity, but please accept this cafe. Consider it our final memory together."You've just been released from prison, and your future won't be easy. This cafe can ensure your livelihood for a lifetime. Consider this my final request."Upon hearing this, Liam shook his head with a smile. He did not say much. He just casually accepted the transfer agreement for the cafe. It was obvious he did not take it seriously from the way he let the agreement get soaked in the rain."Miss Lloyd, shall we go?" Grace, seeing th
When Serena brought the news of her divorce from Liam back home, the Lloyd family erupted in jubilation! To an outsider, it would seem as though the Lloyd family had hit the jackpot.Hailey Allen, Liam's former mother-in-law, was ecstatic and could hardly contain her joy. "Oh, this is wonderful! Finally, the marriage is over!""Yes, it wouldn't even take that long if it weren't for Serena insisting on waiting until Liam was released from prison.""If Serena hadn't divorced that ex-convict, he would have continued to burden our Lloyd family! This time, Serena finally made the right choice!"Sam Lloyd, Serena's uncle, and other relatives like Charice Lloyd were present, all filled with excitement and chatter.It was hard to imagine that four years ago, when Liam was imprisoned, it was the same crowded room, but everyone looked sad and grateful, as if Liam were their savior!In just four short years, everything had changed. Whether it was ironic or resigned was unclear."Serena,
Meanwhile, Liam stood by the floor-to-ceiling window at the Havenwood Hotel in South City, gazing blankly at the bustling traffic below. Even now, he had not fully recovered from the emotions of his divorce. Who would have thought a loving relationship would end that way? Just moments ago, his former mother-in-law had even contacted him, asking for his address, saying she wanted to see him.Four years in prison and not a single visit from anyone in the Lloyd family. What meaning did it hold now for them to visit to see him?Liam let out a soft sigh. Then, he turned to look at the crumpled coffee shop transfer agreement lying on the table. "A lifetime of worry-free living?" he mused, recalling what Serena said with a sarcastic smile. He reached out and tore the agreement to shreds.At that moment, Liam's phone suddenly rang. Although arrangements had been made for him before his release, only a few people had his phone number.Frowning slightly, Liam answered the call. There
Just like when he had decided to lend a hand back then.What moved him was not the payment Lucy promised but simply Julian's long-standing kindness!"Mister Burrey! I'm truly grateful! I've only heard that you were previously in the Third Prison. Where exactly are you now? Please tell us, and we'll come to pick you up right away!" Lucy cried tears of joy.After informing Lucy of the hotel where he was staying, Liam hung up the phone.Shortly after, Liam lowered his head, reaching for the needle pouch woven from the golden thread at his waist. With a flick of his fingers, he opened the pouch.In an instant, the entire room seemed to brighten up! Different sized exquisite golden needles appeared before Liam.The golden needles were slender and intricately engraved with mysterious patterns. Each needle was a masterpiece, invaluable!There were 108 such golden needles in the pouch!When the 108 golden needles were put together, the mysterious patterns converged to form the words
As the Lloyd Group continued to expand under Serena's leadership, the status of the Lloyd family members soared. Etchen, who had always been useless and aimless, took advantage of the Lloyd family's influence to gather a group of useless friends and roam around. Ordinary people would be afraid to provoke them."You lazy kid, stop fooling around! You're not a kid anymore. Why don't you do something meaningful?" Hailey pretended to scold Etchen but could not help but smile."I do want to do something! It's just that my sister won't let me run a company. Don't worry, Mom, once I take over the cafe, I'll make something of myself!" Etchen shrugged.Soon, the two arrived at the door of Liam's room, according to the room number."He is even living in the presidential suite!" Seeing the room where Liam lived, the two widened their eyes in disbelief, feeling angry.Not long after Liam hung up the phone, there was a sudden banging on the door."So soon?" Liam frowned. He thought it was Luc
"Impossible!"The moment that tall figure appeared beside him, Black Wraith's eyes widened in shock, his gaze flashing with utter disbelief."How can you be this fast?"He could not believe it.Liam's speed was beyond anything he had ever imagined!Just a second ago, Liam was still hundreds of meters away, but in the blink of an eye, he was already right beside him.If the aura emanating from Liam earlier had already made Black Wraith's heart tremble, then now… This unimaginable speed made him fully grasp the terrifying implications of Liam's overwhelming presence!All of this… It was completely beyond Black Wraith's comprehension.But in the face of Black Wraith's terrified exclamation, Liam remained silent.His expression was emotionless, his eyes devoid of any fluctuation."I..."This sight plunged Black Wraith into boundless fear.His body trembled as he considered a last-ditch effort to escape!However, the moment he tried to act, he froze.

At that time, Yaksha casually mentioned that Liam was accompanied by a woman protecting him.When the Monochrome Duo Wraiths heard this, they found it utterly ridiculous.They did not know what kind of man needs a woman to protect him?When Arkem sent the Monochrome Duo Wraiths, he probably had similar thoughts—Liam would be dealt with swiftly!After all, compared to ordinary people, an advanced martial arts Master is already superhuman!But even in their wildest dreams, the Monochrome Duo Wraiths never expected the female bodyguard they underestimated and looked down upon turned out to be a martial arts Ascendant!Yes.A martial arts Ascendant!Only a martial arts Ascendant could effortlessly cleave the front of a massive truck in half with a single slash!When that scene unfolded before their eyes, the Monochrome Duo Wraiths froze on the spot!How many martial arts Ascendants are there in the entire Hestia?Since stepping into the martial arts world, the Monochrome Duo Wr
It was not just the man in white who froze.The man in black also stood there in shock, staring at Liam with an expression full of disbelief!Earlier, after receiving hints from Yaksha that Liam might be extraordinarily skilled, they made some preparations.To avoid a direct confrontation that could cause unnecessary trouble, they decided to use a truck to kill Liam!With the Nosh family's influence in Juneau, killing someone with a truck wouldn ot cause any negative repercussions at all. And a ten-ton truck hitting at full force could completely turn Liam into pulp!But who could have imagined…Despite such a violent collision, Liam was completely unharmed, as if he hadn't been affected in the slightest!Their hearts were filled with astonishment!And at that moment—Buzz—Up ahead, a dazzling flash of light suddenly appeared!A gleam of a blade shot down abruptly from above, slicing through the front of the truck ahead!Boom!!!In an instant, the truck blocking Liam's pa
"My parents said you told them you were taking over South City Bank."Serena sighed.Clearly, she had not taken the statement seriously. Even though she once had her suspicions, she eventually dismissed those thoughts after calming down.After all, the acquisition of United Finance by the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had happened so swiftly that news of it had not yet spread widely. Only some rumors had circulated within certain inner circles in South City.Serena knew nothing of this.To her, Liam's claim about taking over South City Bank sounded utterly ridiculous."So, since your mother already told you my purpose for going to South City Bank, why are you asking me where I got the information from?" Liam raised his head and looked at Serena."You…"Hearing this, Serena froze, her stunning face full of confusion. She couldn't make sense of what Liam was saying."Ah…"Seeing her reaction, Liam sighed lightly. He was about to take out his phone to make a call."I'll let
She looked at Liam, her gaze filled with sincerity.The moment Liam heard what Serena said, he froze.His eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at her.This was the first time Liam had heard Serena apologize!"If it weren't for you this time, I really don't know what would've happened to the Serena Group..."Serena lowered her head, her cold yet stunning face showing a trace of complexity.Seeing this, Liam was taken aback once again.Compared to the Serena of the past, she had changed so much!It was clear that after going through a series of events, Serena had grown a lot. Her attitude had softened significantly."You don't need to thank me for those matters." But quickly, Liam regained his composure and waved it off lightly. "After all, those poisoned patients were innocent. I couldn't bear to see them suffer like that."However, there's a slight error in what you just said."He raised his head to look at Serena."It wasn't the master of the Medicine Guild who treate
"Hmph!"However, Lucy ignored Agustine. With a cold snort, she angrily picked up the approval documents for the White Glycoside Cream and marched out of the room.Seeing this, Agustine hurriedly followed her.In his view, Lucy, the person in charge of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, was perfect in every way, except for her somewhat fiery temper.Meanwhile, Liam had no idea what had happened after he left. But even if he had known, he might have assumed Lucy's reaction was due to her frustration over the promotion of White Glycoside Cream.At the moment, he was already at the airport, boarding a flight back to South City.The next day.Following the address agreed upon with Serena, Liam arrived at a coffee shop in South City.He was quite familiar with this place. This was where he and Serena had met for the first time.On the day Liam was released from prison, Serena had wanted to meet him here, but Hailey had done everything possible to stop it — all in this very coff
Even so, she was still shocked by the news about Matthias."Whether or not we visit doesn't matter."However, faced with an opportunity that most people could only dream of, Liam remained unusually calm. He waved his hand and said, "Doing more beneficial work for the advancement of traditional Hestian medicine is far more important than visiting me!"Liam did not care much about Matthias's visit. For him, he had already witnessed far broader horizons!"In any case, Grandmaster Burrey, thank you this time!"Agustine did not dare respond directly to Liam's words. Instead, he kept bowing his head in gratitude, saying repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you.""No need to thank me." Liam turned to Agustine and said, "If you truly feel indebted, then work closely with Lucy to expedite the production of the White Glycoside Cream.""I'll still have use for the medication once it's launched.""Grandmaster Burrey, rest assured!"Hearing this, Agustine lifted his head and responded earnestly,
"Miss Hill…"Hearing Lucy's words, Agustine froze suddenly. He opened his mouth but couldn't figure out how to respond at that moment.Whether it was Lucy's remarks or the questions raised by Matthias, neither was wrong.It was just that they viewed things from different perspectives.The more it was like this, the more unsure Agustine was about how to persuade them.However, at this moment—"That's enough," Liam's voice sounded. He waved his hand and said calmly, "It's fine if we don't promote it for now. As long as the medicine can go to market, there won't be any problems."Liam maintained a rather composed attitude about all of this. After all, the original purpose of the White Glycoside Cream was simply to treat those few patients with severe skin damage at Golden Cross Hospital.For now, as long as they could obtain the medicine and heal their scars, the White Glycoside Cream would have fulfilled its intended purpose."But Grandmaster Burrey…" Hearing this, Lucy turned he
