"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
Vincent regretted it deeply. "I should've kicked him out earlier!"Liam's appearance undoubtedly disrupted the balance on the field. Vincent did not dare to imagine the final outcome if any conflict erupted.However, at the moment, no one would pay attention to Vincent's thoughts.Amidst the suffocating sensation among the police officers, the middle-aged man, accompanied by thousands of soldiers, had arrived at the stairs in front of the police station.Vincent and the other police officers could already feel the chilling sensation emanating from the men before them. However, what happened next made Vincent shudder abruptly, freezing him in place.The leader, clad in military attire, halted his steps in front of Liam.Then, he bent down and spoke respectfully. "Grandmaster Burrey, I apologize for the delay. We have caused you inconvenience!"Gabriel's voice echoed through the silent police station.Snap!As Gabriel's voice rang out, the thousands of soldiers behind him sudden
The day finally arrived when the police force came to understand the true meaning of authority. However, disbelief lingered.It all started when a handsome man appeared at the precinct. Suddenly, the military surrounded the police station.That man and his composure dissolved the imposing military personnel with ease.It shook them to their core.Who was he? How could someone of such caliber find himself in their precinct?However, unlike the others, Vincent and Walter understood everything.They had witnessed the events from the moment Liam entered the station to the arrival of Serena and the others.Vincent's eyes widened, fixed on the scene before him, momentarily lost in disbelief.Vincent finally comprehended Liam's urgency to make a call. He understood the gravity of Liam's words about the consequences of delay.What Vincent did not know was that if it had not been for Gabriel's timely arrival, their precinct might have faced more than just encirclement.That worthless
Upon hearing Liam's words, Gabriel sighed and refrained from further questioning. He clearly knew something about Liam. Gabriel's respect for Liam extended beyond gratitude for saving his life. It stemmed from witnessing Liam's skills when Gabriel was treated in prison. Liam, initially an obscure figure in South City Third Prison, had mastered medical arts. To be a Grandmaster meant possessing not only compassion but also formidable methods. "Grandmaster Burrey, the assault on you cannot be easily dismissed," Gabriel remarked.Soon, a glint of determination flashed in his eyes. "I must find those behind it! Whoever dares harm you, Grandmaster Burrey, will face consequences!"Liam recalled Triboar mentioning Harvest Union as he died."It won't be resolved so easily, but you needn't involve yourself further in this matter."Gabriel shook his head vigorously, his resolve resembling a drumbeat. "No! What if they send more attackers? How will we deal with that?"Gabriel lifted hi
Although Gabriel had never lived there, he was well aware of the tight security in Hush Purple Gardens, where only the wealthy and powerful dwelled—a circumstance that surely would alleviate many troubles for Liam.Gabriel stared at Liam with determination, as if daring him to disagree.Observing Gabriel's demeanor, Liam shook his head reluctantly. Given Gabriel's persistence, refusing the key would likely prolong the ordeal. Moreover, extended stays in hotels were hardly ideal.Liam agreed, taking the key. "Fine, but I'll only be here temporarily.""Temporary! Temporary!"Gabriel chuckled foolishly, nodding repeatedly. However, judging by his expression, he clearly did not believe he was merely offering Liam a temporary residence.Meanwhile, Vincent and the other police officers stood by, utterly dumbfounded by the scene unfolding before them.They never anticipated witnessing such a spectacle firsthand—a young man incessantly berating a high-ranking officer, who not only remai
Liam glanced at the trembling police officers before him. "Alright. No need to be so nervous. You haven't done anything wrong."With those words, Liam prepared to leave. After all, he had stayed at the police station to deal with Gabriel. He knew there was an alert in his file left by Gabriel at that time.The police would undoubtedly handle Serpentine and Triboar, so staying at the station any longer seemed pointless.Before leaving, Liam turned to Vincent. "Oh, and if there are any leads regarding Serpentine and Triboar in the future, remember to contact me."He did not want Gabriel to intervene too much. After all, it involved the Hill family and could even touch upon the Harvest Union.Liam did not want too many people to know. Given Gabriel's personality, who knew what trouble he might stir up if he investigated it?"No problem! You can count on us!"Vincent nearly trembled as he spoke to Liam. Seeing everyone in the station in such a state, Liam could not help but shake hi
"Affirmative."Upon hearing Casey's command, Vincent and the other officers nodded. They understood Casey's concern.Casey turned to Vincent. "Are you certain that they're surrounding the precinct to take away Grandmaster Burrey and that Liam Burrey, as mentioned by Tobias Corona in our conversation, is the same Liam?"Vincent nodded. "Yes."Casey's eyes reddened, his frustration growing instantly. "Damn it! Does Tobias want to get me killed? Back then, he told me that Grandmaster Burrey was nothing but Serena's useless ex-husband. He told me to give him something to show off in front of Serena! If he's itching to die, he shouldn't drag me into it!"Vincent wore a bitter expression. "Chief, you mustn't believe such words in the future!""No, I can't swallow this indignation!" Casey declared. With that, he pulled out his phone and called Tobias. The recent situation almost brought Casey to ruin.On the other end, Tobias received Casey's call. He picked up the phone and flashed
