"This is the place…"Standing at the entrance of the shop, Sophia's expression darkened."Who gave them the guts..."Looking at the devastated butcher shop ahead, a flash of anger suddenly flickered in Liam's eyes!It was clear.For her butcher shop, Sophia had put in a lot of effort. Not only was the decoration quite delicate, but even the walls had a cartoonish image of Sophia smiling broadly!Just looking at the shop's decor, one could tell how happy and excited Sophia was during the preparation stage.But all of it had already been shattered to pieces before it even began!"Let's just leave after we're done…"Sophia's voice sounded heavy.She had turned her head, not wanting to see the heartbreaking scene inside the butcher shop."Aunt Sophia, don't be sad. I'll pay to help you redo the shop…"Noticing Sophia's sadness, Liam turned around and gave a small smile, trying to comfort her.However, just then, a harsh voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Liam's words."Did
"What do you think you are!"Hearing Liam's voice, the man known as Mister Leonidas turned his head, his eyes flashing with a cold gleam as he looked at Liam. "Do you think you have a say here?""Liam…"A trace of anxiety flashed across Sophia's face. She tugged at Liam's sleeve, signaling for him to stay quiet.When she saw Mister Leonidas and the others appear earlier, Sophia had been worried that Liam, being impulsive, might do something reckless!After all, young people sometimes can't control their tempers, and that's normal.She recalled how, when Mister Leonidas and his gang first demanded protection money, she had absolutely refused to pay!In the end, this had led to the current tragic situation.Sophia did not want Liam to be dragged into all this trouble."No wonder you dared to come back," Mister Leonidas sneered as he looked at the scene before him. "So you brought some backup!""But…" He looked Liam up and down, then mockingly spoke, "This so-called backup of yo
A graceful figure suddenly appeared before him.Then, in the next instant, a piercing cold gleam suddenly erupted!Clang!The steel rod in Mister Leonidas's hand dropped to the ground with a crisp sound.He froze for a moment, looking down in confusion.Then, Mister Leonidas saw his own bare arm!In the next moment, he let out a horrific, agonizing scream!It was not just him.Ahh—!Behind him, all the men who had been holding rods and preparing to chase after Liam and Sophia trembled, letting out wails of unbearable pain!Because just at that moment, the palms holding their rods had been sliced off by a single slash!Bluebird stood nearby, holding a dagger, her expression indifferent, her eyes devoid of any emotion.It was a rare honor for Mister Leonidas and his men to provoke a martial arts Ascendant into action!"Quick... run..."Sophia's words were frozen in midair.She stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what she was seeing, her face filled with shock.Sophia had
"What's the relationship between Bluebird and Serena?"Upon hearing Sophia's words, Liam froze for a moment, a look of confusion flashing across his eyes."I…"At the mention, Sophia froze even more abruptly.Right now, she could confirm that the current situation didn't seem to have anything to do with Serena.But the next moment, Sophia looked ahead, at the desolate scene, her body shuddered, and she suddenly snapped back to reality."Liam, listen to me, let's leave quickly!"She raised her head to look at Liam, her voice slightly tense as she spoke, "I know now how capable you are, but listen to me, we'd better leave first!"They're from the Fowler Society, and the forces behind them are far from simple. We really can't afford to mess with them. When I called the police back then, no one cared!"Sophia's face showed panic. "You've hurt so many of them, the Fowler Society won't just let this go!""I…"Upon hearing this, Liam paused.And at that moment..."Grandmaster Bur
"Hahaha…"Upon hearing this, Liam paused, then let out a helpless laugh. "He's the president of the Fowler Society, Nathaniel, the one you mentioned.""What?"Sophia was suddenly stunned.She widened her eyes and stared fixedly at Nathaniel, her gaze filled with suspicion. "He can be the president of the Fowler Society? Liam, don't lie to me!""I'm not lying to you…"Liam chuckled bitterly and shook his head.He turned to look at Nathaniel and sighed softly. "Did you see that? Lately, you've really been disappointing me.""Grandmaster Burrey!"Hearing this, Nathaniel trembled violently. A look of extreme fear flashed in his eyes. "I'm truly sorry! The issue with someone daring to impersonate a Fowler Society member, it's my fault!"Rest assured, from now on, I'll never let something like this happen again!"He suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed on the group of people lying on the ground ahead, including Mister Leonidas, wishing he could tear them apart with his bare hand
If all of this is really true, doesn't that mean this man is really the president of the Fowler Society?Sophia's mind was a mess.At that moment…"Aunt Sophia, let's head back first."Liam's voice sounded. He looked at Sophia and gave a faint smile. "You don't need to worry about the rest. From now on, no one will bother you again.""When we come back, I think your shop should be restored to its original state."As he spoke, Liam turned and glanced at Nathaniel beside them."Y-Yes…"Upon hearing this, Nathaniel's body trembled, and he quickly lowered his head again.He understood the implied meaning in Liam's words.However, Sophia, who was still in shock and confusion, didn't register Liam's words at all."We have to leave quickly!"She nodded urgently. "If the police show up later, we'll be in big trouble!"Sophia was still uneasy about the current situation."Ha…"Hearing this, Liam could not help but laugh.Sophia's reaction was rather cute, but he knew well that for
Even Sophia could not see the end of that black car!And beside each car stood nearly ten thousand men dressed in black suits.They said nothing, their faces cold, their imposing presence radiating an air of ruthlessness that reached the sky!At that moment, Nathaniel received a message from Liam.He did not know what exactly was happening at the scene, but Liam's tone made him extremely anxious!Nathaniel also did not understand how someone from the Fowler Society could dare to provoke Grandmaster Burrey!Immediately, he brought members from the Fowler Society in South City to the scene!However, concerned that bringing too many people might complicate the situation, Nathaniel had most of his subordinates wait outside on the street!"Please, I beg you!""Yeah! Please, spare us!""It's our fault, we were so bold and ignorant, rashly using the Fowler Society's name!""I'll kneel and apologize to you! Really, please, spare me!"...On the other side, the cries of Leopard and
"Grandmaster Burrey, I understand."Upon hearing this, a cold gleam suddenly flashed in Nathaniel's eyes. "This will never happen again!"This incident was not just infuriating for Liam, but Nathaniel himself also felt utterly embarrassed!In the heart of the Fowler Society's stronghold in South City, someone dared to impersonate a member of the Fowler Society. This act itself showed a complete disregard for him.No matter what had caused this situation, he could never allow something like this to happen again."Do as you see fit," Liam said, glancing at Nathaniel indifferently. He then turned to Sophia and smiled. "Aunt Sophia, let Nathaniel handle things here at your shop. I'll go with you to the market and have a word with the management."He had not forgotten about the time when Sophia wanted to set up a stall in the market but was rejected by the management."No, no need!" Sophia waved her hands repeatedly.After everything that had happened today, she truly felt guilty ab
He looked at Gabriel and responded calmly."Well..."Hearing this, Gabriel was suddenly stunned.The next moment, a bitter smile flashed across his face."That's true, but Grandmaster Burrey..." Gabriel sighed helplessly. "The problem really isn't that simple. The method you mentioned—I've actually considered it too."But no one knows where the Bastion Squad is now. Since they raised this issue with the Hestia military, it clearly means the problem hasn't been resolved, and they definitely won't show up."I also heard that the captain of the Bastion Squad, Benedict, seems to have passed away due to some issues related to Bluebird."With all these factors, even if we go through a lot of trouble to find the members of the Bastion Squad, they might not cooperate with us."Not to mention, we don't even have any leads on them."At this moment, he finally understood why Grandmaster Burrey seemed so indifferent.The method Grandmaster Burrey proposed was indeed good, but to actually
"I'm afraid they also want to come to the Central Military Region to get detailed information about the situation."A trace of concern flashed across Gabriel's face.Events involving the entire army were always grand, and the preparations had to be thorough.However, the sudden advancement of the instructor exchange meeting would definitely disrupt many of his original plans.Most importantly— All of this also involved Bluebird.Gabriel initially did not know the specific situation. Now, seeing that Bluebird was indeed still alive made things even more complicated for him.The incident happened suddenly, and the preparations were insufficient. For a moment, Gabriel didn't know how to continue covering up the matter about Bluebird.After all—The news of Bluebird's death directly led to the Western Military Region being penalized, and even the Bastion Squad was expelled from the army!If Bluebird was not dead, and such a huge misunderstanding had occurred, the other war zones
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
