However, the familiar figure ahead, along with the unique aura of Bluebird, was something that Benedict could never forget in this lifetime!"Benedict... Captain Benedict..."Upon hearing Benedict's sudden words, Arkem's eyes flashed with shock. He incredulously asked, "You know that female bodyguard?""I... of course, I know her..."At these words, Benedict's face once again became lost in thought. "We left the Western Military Region because of her..."The reason the Bastion Squad was expelled from the Western Military Region was because of Bluebird!At the final stage of the special forces team competition, when the Nine Nether Squad was about to win with a huge advantage, it was the Bastion Squad that fired the first shot at Bluebird from behind!Benedict could not accept it.The once weak Nine Nether Squad had suddenly managed to step on the heads of the Bastion Squad!But he hadn't expected this.Even though they had taken action against Bluebird, the Nine Nether Squad
How could this be possible!That stunning and peerless leader of the Nine Hells squad, who single-handedly suppressed the Bluebird of the other four special forces squads in the special forces competition—hadn't she already died!The news of Bluebird's death had already spread throughout the military world, passed along by Gabriel.And it was precisely because of this that their verdict in the military court had become even more severe!But now…The supposedly deceased Bluebird was standing right before him again!And the terrifying scar on her face—when did it heal?What on earth was going on!In the next moment, Benedict seemed to have thought of something. His body shook once more, and he suddenly turned to look at Liam, who was standing in front of Bluebird. His eyes trembled.At this moment, what shocked and bewildered Benedict the most…Was the man standing before him—who was he!Why was Bluebird acting as his bodyguard!And from the way Bluebird appeared, she wasn't
"We've been punished too harshly, our Bastion Squad!"Now that they were certain they had seen Bluebird, Benedict felt that since Bluebird was not dead, the judgment from the military court back then was too severe!After all, being expelled from the Western Military Region was something they could never accept!Moreover, there were still many other things about Bluebird that were impossible to explain!Benedict decided to bring Bluebird back to the military and slowly investigate the relevant matters!Most importantly, they had already accepted Arkem's commission!"Phew..."Hearing Benedict's words, Arkem, who had originally been tense, let out a deep sigh of relief.He had truly been worried at first that Bastion Squad might disregard his commission because of their acquaintance with Bluebird. Now, it seemed that worry had been unnecessary!Arkem was not aware of the military matters related to Bluebird, nor did he care about any of it.For him, as long as he could deal wit
In the end, Benedict's timely reaction earlier had bought him time, and the other members of the Bastion Squad were, after all, elites among elites!Therefore, when Bluebird charged toward Benedict again, the other members of the Bastion Squad had already raised their gun barrels.A cold gleam flashed in their eyes, and they immediately pulled the trigger!On a battlefield where life and death were at stake, there was no time for hesitation or contemplation!Bang bang bang bang—The bullets poured out like a torrential rain!Seeing this, Bluebird frowned. Her figure flashed, and she began dodging.Although after becoming a Grandmaster of Martial Arts, Bluebird no longer feared single bullets, she could only evade the incoming barrage of bullets, which was like a storm!"Form a decapitation formation!"Upon seeing this, Benedict decisively issued the order.Although he was still filled with shock at Bluebird's strength, once the battle had begun, there could be no hesitation.
As long as they found a loophole, they would strike with the force of a thunderbolt!This is the strength of the Bastion Squad!Each member of the Bastion Squad is a martial artist, and their strong physical fitness ensures that, the moment they receive an order, they can react immediately!Noticing the rain-like bullets coming their way again,Bluebird's expression suddenly turned colder.This time, she did not choose to dodge left or right. With a light step, Bluebird decisively retreated quickly, intending to create some distance from the Bastion Squad.However, Bluebird's movements were clearly anticipated by the Bastion Squad.At this moment, the Bastion Squad member who had initially charged toward Bluebird had already reached her rear.A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he positioned himself in the path of Bluebird's retreat, wielding a three-pronged military dagger, and suddenly lunged toward her!When this Bastion Squad member attacked, he never considered the bullets
"What's going on!"Noticing the situation, even Benedict, who had been charging towards Bluebird, suddenly froze!He quickly turned his head to look behind him.At this moment, Benedict noticed that Arkem, who had just been protected by them, had transformed into a completely different figure!The guards of the Nosh family had formed a Eight Trigrams Formation, surrounding Arkem in the center.As the aura surged, Arkem, whose back had been bent due to old age, was now standing tall!His once wrinkled face even appeared to show traces of his younger self. The loose skin all over his body had tightened up!In that instant, the previously frail and withered Arkem had regained some of his middle-aged vigor and appearance!However, what shocked Benedict the most was the aura emanating from Arkem's body.Previously, Arkem had given the impression of being weak, incapable of even lifting a chicken. Now, his body was radiating an incredibly powerful warrior's aura. The fierce momentum
Under the joint attack of the three parties, the only path left for Bluebird was death!"What..."Looking at everything around her, a tremor flickered in Bluebird's eyes!Because she knew that if it were not for Arkem's sudden burst of strength, she might have still been able to hold her ground against the Bastion Squad.But now, she had no chance left!Not only was she caught off guard by Arkem's sudden outburst of powerful strength, but the timing of his move was also perfect!All of this...It felt like it had passed slowly!But in reality, only a few moments had passed!In those brief moments, the situation had already changed dramatically!"I..."Seeing everything before her, Dianne, who was standing at the back and had been shocked just a moment ago, finally showed a hint of panic on her face. She quickly turned her head, looking anxiously at Liam.In fact, after Bluebird unleashed her astounding strength earlier, Dianne had been in extreme shock.She never imagined
"Hmm?"Benedict's body suddenly stiffened.The faint sigh that suddenly echoed was incredibly subtle, but for some reason, Benedict heard it very clearly.It was not just Benedict.Everyone present, including the imposing Arkem, also clearly heard that sigh!The sudden sound seemed to resonate directly in their minds.Everyone froze, turning to look in the direction from which the sound had come.When they saw Liam, their faces immediately darkened!A coldness flashed through Benedict's eyes, as he knew that the direction the Bluebird had been looking at earlier seemed to be towards Liam."Damned thing!" Benedict's voice was icy. "If you want to die, don't rush it. Let us handle the Bluebird first, and then it'll be your turn!"Even though Liam could make the Bluebird willingly act as a bodyguard, which likely meant he was not an ordinary person, Benedict did not care.Because once they dealt with the Bluebird, no matter what background Liam had, he would only have one end—d
"The Nosh family..."Hearing Dianne's words, Liam was momentarily stunned, a trace of astonishment flashing across his face.Only now did he fully understand what had just happened at the Nosh family's old residence.However, this matter did not trouble Liam much."Arkem once destroyed your family. Now he's paying for it with the entire Nosh family—I'd say that's a fair trade!"A smile appeared on his face. "You'll need to handle the aftermath of the Nosh family carefully."Liam did not care about what Dianne said, about the Nosh family becoming his subordinates. In fact, he had not given it a second thought.For Liam, coming to Juneau had only ever been about revenge.Now that his vengeance was complete, the Nosh family meant nothing to him.But this was something he chose not to tell Dianne.He felt that, after experiencing such a drastic change in her life, Dianne needed something to focus on. Otherwise, even though she had avenged her family, she could still fall into des
"I..."Seeing the scene before her, Dianne froze for a moment, a hint of dazed confusion flashing through her eyes.Instinctively, she got up with ease.Compared to before, her body now was filled with strength!In fact, Dianne could still vaguely feel that the warm energy from earlier was continuously improving her body!Her body trembled slightly as she lifted her head to look at Liam.Ahead, Liam's figure seemed to be shrouded in a dense mist, exuding an air of deep mystery!Let alone his earth-shattering strength, just his godlike medical skills alone were beyond what any ordinary person could possess!But she only spaced out for a moment before quickly regaining her composure.Because for her, no matter who Liam truly was, her original thoughts and vows would never waver!Without hesitation, she hurriedly took steps forward, chasing after Liam's retreating figure.As for the rest of the Nosh family, Dianne paid them no mind. There would be plenty of time later to deal w
A thousand thoughts raced through Dianne's mind, but what she needed to do most right now was to get up.However, after several attempts, she still couldn't properly control her body."L-Liam…"Left with no other choice, she lifted her head and looked at Liam."Hm?"Hearing her voice from behind, Liam turned his head.The moment he saw Dianne's condition, he immediately understood what was going on.Liam took a step forward and walked back to her side."I… I can't stand up…"Seeing him approach, Dianne's face flashed with a hint of distress. She spoke with slight embarrassment.Once again, she felt like she was dragging him down."It's fine."Liam shook his head lightly, unfazed, and calmly said, "You overexerted yourself just now and injured your foundation.""Will… will this affect my body?"Hearing that, Dianne's body trembled slightly. She quickly lifted her head, her voice filled with worry.She had never felt this way before—her body felt completely foreign, as if i
Hearing the words beside her, Bluebird turned her head and glanced at Dianne.As a fellow woman, she understood Dianne's thoughts perfectly.At the same time, having witnessed everything that had just transpired, Bluebird was even more aware of the determination Dianne had displayed in making these decisions.However, Bluebird did not care about what Dianne had done, nor would she mention a single word of it to Liam.A shadow does not speak.With that, Bluebird's figure flickered and vanished from the Nosh family's old residence.Moments later—Liam's tall, imposing figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the Nosh family's old residence. He took a step forward and reentered the manor.But before Liam could say anything, his gaze fell upon Dianne, who was slumped on the ground, clearly exhausted. He could not help but pause for a moment.Puzzled, Liam looked to the side.He had no idea what had happened to leave Dianne in such a drained state.But when his eyes fell upon the
At this moment, no one dared to oppose Dianne anymore!"Huh?"Hearing the voice from ahead, Dianne was momentarily stunned, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.For a brief moment, she couldn't quite process what was happening.But when she saw the Nosh family members kneeling on the ground before her, she finally snapped back to reality. A complex expression flickered across her face.Dianne had never imagined that one day, the once-powerful Nosh family of Juneau would be bowing before her, trembling and begging for mercy!"From now on, you are the head of the Nosh family."With that, Dianne casually tossed the bloodstained longsword in her hand to the ground in front of Owen.The reason for choosing Owen as the new head of the Nosh family was simple.Not only was he the first to plead for mercy, but at this moment, he was also the highest-ranking surviving member of the Nosh family.Clang—Hearing the sword clatter onto the ground before him, Owen's body trembled viole
At the very beginning,In Bluebird's understanding, Dianne was indeed as timid as her demeanor suggested.Even though she was unafraid of death and determined to take revenge on the Nosh family, Bluebird saw it as nothing more than Dianne's last resort in utter despair.But now—Watching Dianne move forward in silence, killing without hesitation, even pushing through sheer exhaustion with sheer willpower, Bluebird began to take her more seriously.Dianne was no longer the fragile girl she once was!On the contrary—She might still appear weak, but her ruthless and decisive actions were downright terrifying!In mere moments, dozens of Nosh family members had already fallen at Dianne's hands.At first, she would still ask a few questions. But as time went on, perhaps because she was running out of strength, Dianne became numb. She struck and withdrew her blade in a mechanical rhythm, no longer engaging in any conversation with the Nosh family members.At this moment, she was kil
When Liam was present, he exerted immense pressure on them. But after his departure, they clearly felt much more at ease than before.Especially now, after regaining clarity and hearing Dianne's words, Olley Nosh's heart burned with rage!Having dominated Juneau for so many years and ruled with overwhelming power, the Nosh family had their own pride!Even if Liam's strength was unmatched. Even if the Nosh family was no match for him. Even if Arkem had died right before their eyes.Olley would never agree to surrender so easily!"If Liam had personally come to say this and sought to subdue the Nosh family, we might have considered it!"He lifted his head, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. "But you? Keep dreaming!"A mere orphan from the Brown family—a frail, weak girl—wanted to make the Nosh family submit? What a ridiculous fantasy!"I'm telling you—"He widened his eyes, seemingly about to continue speaking.But in the next instant—Pfft—The sharp sound of a b
No one knew how much time had passed.Only when Dianne was utterly exhausted did her bloodstained longsword slip powerlessly from her hand.At that moment, Arkem's wide eyes had already lost all their luster.To endure for so long after suffering such severe blows—his resilience was truly commendable!It was evident that his usual caution and meticulousness extended not only to his actions but also to the concealment of his true strength. He had done an exceptional job of hiding his capabilities!But unfortunately...No matter how well Arkem hid, in the end, he still encountered Liam.And just like that, Arkem, a formidable figure of the Nosh family in Juneau, fell at the hands of a woman!The once gentle and frail Dianne had actually carried out such a bloody act.One could only imagine how intense the hatred in her heart must have been."Hah..."Letting go of her sword, Dianne let out a long breath.She no longer paid any attention to Arkem, who lay lifeless in a pool of
However, the one who ordered all these actions, the head of the Nosh family, Arkem, had long since forgotten that any of this ever happened, and he did not even know who he was anymore!Everything, absolutely everything, was simply too ironic!But, from this alone, it could be seen that in Dianne's eyes, the things she deeply hated, the things that brought her so much pain, meant nothing at all to the Nosh family!This time, she was lucky to have encountered Liam.But what about the others?What about those who, under the Nosh family's targeting, lost everything—families destroyed, lives ruined, with nothing left?"I am Dianne Brown."Dianne stared coldly at Arkem, her voice icy."Diane... Brown?"Upon hearing this, Arkem froze for a moment before he remembered: "You're from the Brown family... Robin Brown's daughter!""Yes, it's me!"Dianne gritted her teeth and answered."I..."Arkem was quick-witted. The moment he saw Dianne's appearance, he immediately realized what ha
