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
Though burdened by guilt over the situation with Liam, Serena swiftly adjusted herself when discussing company matters, resuming her icy demeanor as a formidable businesswoman."Thank you, Mister Corona. We appreciate your efforts on behalf of the Lloyd Group."Tobias's gaze lingered with a hint of desire as he smiled broadly. "Serena, let me introduce you to some details about my military friend..."While Tobias introduced Serena to his friend, Liam, whom they thought had offended Casey, had already returned to the hotel. The events that unfolded after his return from the provincial capital overwhelmed him. Sitting in his room, he sighed softly.As for Serena, though Liam had been deeply moved upon seeing her when she arrived at the police station, the subsequent skepticism and attitude from Tobias and Serena left him furious. He no longer wished to explain himself. However, one thing continued to weigh on his mind—the look of shock on Triboar's face before he died, as if reco
"I almost thought I got the wrong person!" Layla's face was filled with joy as she approached Liam. The last time Layla returned to South City, she wanted to see Liam but could not.Liam also smiled. "Layla, what are you doing here?"Layla chatted away. "I didn't want to stay at home. I needed some fresh air. Coincidentally, there's a villa for sale in the Hush Purple Gardens. Everyone's busy, so my sister asked me to take a look. Liam, you have no idea. Things at home have been chaotic lately..."She pouted, wanting to share recent events in the Lloyd family with Liam. However, Layla seemed to sense something and abruptly stopped. In her words, the reason for the chaos in the Lloyd family was Liam.After Liam was released from prison, the Lloyd family faced numerous setbacks and misfortunes, all of which were blamed on Liam by the family members. They believed Liam's bad luck was affecting the entire family.The Lloyd family spent their days at home complaining and blaming Liam
In the distance, a luxurious villa appeared before them. The number '22' was displayed on the plaque by the villa's entrance.Layla looked up at the villa and replied in a muffled voice, "Yes! This is the house I'm here to see."Her delicate face still showed signs of disappointment."The decor is really nice," Liam remarked, trying to steer the conversation away from Serena. He observed the villa. It was bright, spacious, and very elegant. There was also a garden and a swimming pool.A sharp female voice suddenly pierced the air. "Of course, it's nice! Hush Purple Gardens is the best luxury estate in the South City, bar none. Anyone who can afford a house here is among the top in South City!"A woman dressed in high-end clothes and carrying a Chanel bag walked up from behind, accompanied by a man. She wore light makeup and was impeccably dressed, but her sharp eyes gave her an unpleasantly harsh appearance.She looked down at Liam with disdain, her eyes haughtily half-closed.
Before Layla could speak, Ruby's voice rang out again."Fine. If you won't listen to reason, then so be it! You're hopelessly stubborn. When you end up regretting being with your useless so-called 'brother-in-law', don't come crying to me. Just thinking about him ruins my mood!"Ruby glanced at Liam, her face twisted in a cold sneer. She then grabbed the man beside her and laughed coquettishly."Honey, this is the Liam I mentioned before. He's good for nothing. He used to rely on the Lloyd family. After Serena divorced him, he caused all sorts of trouble for them. We should stay far away from him to avoid any bad luck!""So, it's him."Her husband, Andy Miller, turned to look at Liam. After a dismissive snort, he turned away in disdain."Let's go check out the house."With those words, they strode forward into the villa ahead.Since some of the villas in Hush Purple Gardens were for sale, any client who passed the financial screening could come to view them. Ruby and Andy were
