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
"You... what do you mean by that?"Upon hearing Liam's words, Sebastian was momentarily stunned. He had no idea what this young man was suddenly talking about!What did he mean by saying that once the bodyguards returned, Lloyd Group would cease to exist?Lloyd Group, which spanned across the entire Qyn Province with a powerful background, had been doing booming business lately. How could it just disappear like that?Sebastian knew that Liam’s idea was, in theory, quite good. After all, if Lloyd Group were to disappear, the Nosh family would suffer a huge blow, and they would have no time to cause trouble for them in the short term.However, the idea of Lloyd Group disappearing was nothing more than a beautiful fantasy. It was impossible!It was not just Sebastian.Charles and Janell were also stunned after hearing Liam’s words.To be honest, after experiencing the events earlier, their impression of Liam had already changed quite a bit.As the current head of the Hensworth fa
"Sigh…"Sebastian listened to Liam’s words, hesitated for a moment, and then sighed heavily before speaking, "But even if you want to take action, you should leave no trace!"Although he had not expected Liam to suddenly take such drastic measures, Sebastian still understood the situation to some extent. After all, even he, an old man, was so furious at Godfrey’s earlier words that he could barely contain himself. It was needless to say how someone like Liam, a young man, would feel!Moreover, Godfrey had been threatening Liam not long ago. But Sebastian still felt that Liam had not thought this through completely.Sebastian, after all, was the man who had built the Hensworth family’s foundation, and he had a certain ruthless streak in him. He believed that now that Liam had already taken action, he should not have let those two bodyguards go back."Leave no trace behind!" he thought. Even those two bodyguards should not be spared. Who knows, the truth of Godfrey’s death might s
"Ugh…"Godfrey's body shuddered, his eyes flashing with intense unwillingness. He struggled, as if trying to say something, but not a word escaped his lips.Finally—Bang!A dull thud echoed as Godfrey’s body slammed heavily onto the ground, lifeless.Even in his wildest dreams, he could not have imagined—In South City, someone would actually dare to kill him!In Godfrey's mind, with Union Finance's status in the Qyn Province, it was inconceivable that anyone would dare act against him. Liam had broken his leg earlier, which was already outrageous enough!Otherwise, he would not have arrogantly declared moments ago, threatening to grind Liam's bones to dust unless he fled immediately.Who could have guessed—From the very beginning, Liam had no intention of letting Godfrey go!What Union Finance?What powerful connections in Juneau?To Liam, none of that mattered in the slightest."What now?"Liam stood up, casually tossing the dagger to Bluebird before turning to face
In the very next moment…As soon as Charles and the others processed what was happening, they hurriedly turned to Liam, frantically urging, "Liam, you need to leave now! This time, you’ve really gotten yourself into trouble!"Even though Charles and his companions still had not figured out what exactly was going on in front of them, and they had no idea who the woman who suddenly appeared was or what her relationship with Liam might be, they were absolutely certain that this time, Liam had truly stirred up major trouble!Despite Liam and the mysterious woman who appeared behind him both displaying impressive skills, they were still only two people.When faced with United Financial, Liam wouldn’t stand a chance of resisting.Not to mention—breaking Godfrey’s leg had completely severed any chance of reconciliation with United Financial. With Godfrey’s vengeful nature, this would undoubtedly escalate to a fight to the death!In Charles’s eyes, Liam’s only option was to flee immedi
"Don’t! Don’t you dare interfere with me!"Sensing the bodyguards' movements, Godfrey suddenly snapped awake. His face twisted with fury, his eyes bloodshot as he roared, "Kill him for me! Kill him!"The searing pain in his leg distorted Godfrey's features, but none of it could mask the blazing anger inside him.He, Godfrey, had been beaten into this state by a mere useless ex-convict!Even the Lloyd Group, the former backer of that useless ex-convict, Liam, wouldn’t have dared to treat him this way!Who gave him the nerve to do this?At the instant Godfrey's order rang out, the two bodyguards who had initially rushed toward him abruptly turned around. They swiftly drew retractable batons from their waists and aimed them straight at Liam’s head!"Yes! Beat him to death for me! I want his skin peeled off!"Godfrey's body trembled as he screamed madly at the scene before him.However, just as the two batons were about to strike Liam from both sides...A flash of cold light strea
Charles could not just stand by.However, Liam had not continued speaking yet.The moment Godfrey heard Charles’s words, his eyes widened abruptly, and an exaggerated grin appeared on his face."Liam?"Godfrey extended a finger, pointing straight at Liam, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he asked, "You wouldn’t happen to be that Liam, famed in South City, would you?"It was clear he had heard of Liam’s exploits."I don’t know anything about being famed in South City."Liam looked at Godfrey calmly and said, "I am Liam Burrey.""Hahaha!"Hearing Liam’s response, Godfrey burst into uncontrollable laughter, clutching his stomach. His laughter was saturated with ridicule. "I can’t take it! You’re killing me!"I thought the Hensworth family found someone reliable to back them up, but it turns out it’s just a useless piece of trash!"And you dare spout nonsense about breaking my legs?"Shaking his head, his face was full of disdain. "Now it’s clear—you people have lost your mind
"Liam…"Seeing the scene before her, Valerie trembled.When she first heard Godfrey’s merciless words, her heart burned with grief and indignation. Yet, Valerie also understood that in the face of this situation, she did not have any viable solutions.The moment she realized Godfrey was from Union Finance, Valerie knew the Hensworth Group was nothing in comparison.What’s more, the Hensworth Group was currently on the brink of bankruptcy and had to rely on Godfrey for help!She never imagined Liam would step up at such a moment.After all, she had only asked Liam to pretend to be her boyfriend; there was no real relationship between them.And Union Finance wasn’t just powerful. Its background was incredibly mysterious.There were long-standing rumors that Union Finance in Qyn Province had connections to Juneau.Otherwise, the Nosh family could not have dominated the vast financial market and remained unshaken for so many years.Even if Liam might be capable of resolving this,
"I…"Hearing this, Charles was momentarily stunned.But in the end, he shook his head and said, "Mister Nosh, if Union Finance truly can't approve a loan for the Hensworth Group, then so be it."We'll figure out another way…"Charles's voice was low and heavy. At first, he genuinely believed Godfrey wanted to be with Valerie. But now it was clear Godfrey had no such intentions—he only wanted to toy with Valerie. How could Charles possibly agree to this?At the same time, his heart was filled with regret. He had almost become the one to push his daughter into a pit of fire!"You'll figure out another way?"Godfrey's expression darkened. He glared at Charles coldly and sneered. "Ten billion in loans, just to have Valerie play with me for a while! I really didn't know that any wh*re on the market could be this expensive!""If you don't agree, I'd like to see which other financial institution in Qyn Province would dare lend to you without Union Finance's approval!"The entire orde
"What’s wrong with you?"Hearing this, Godfrey furrowed his brows and said in a dissatisfied tone, "How long has it been? How could you not handle such a simple matter?""You still want that loan from the Hensworth Group approved, don’t you?"He immediately reprimanded Charles."Whether or not I’m with you is my business, it has nothing to do with my father!"Upon hearing this, Valerie immediately understood the implication behind Godfrey's words. Although she had just been angry with Charles, she could not allow Godfrey to speak to her father like that."Then what exactly are you thinking now?"Hearing Valerie's words, Godfrey turned his head, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable light as he looked at her. "The other day, I asked you to go out for drinks. Why didn’t you go?"The reason Godfrey had come in and started pressuring Charles was that he sensed that Valerie seemed uninterested in him.However, he had not expected Valerie to suddenly speak up at this moment."I did
