"What's going on?" Hearing Lucy's words, Liam turned his head. At first, he thought the biggest issue with the White Glycoside Cream was likely its production capacity. But to his surprise, that problem had already been mostly resolved by Lucy and the others. Thinking about it, it made sense. Otherwise, the ointment would not have had enough stock to be sold in Juneau. "The production capacity of White Glycoside Cream has stabilized. As long as we maintain the current output, there shouldn't be any major issues," Lucy said, lifting her head to look at Liam again. A hint of hesitation flashed across her face. "But the main problem now is that certain high-profile clients want a larger allocation of the ointment." "They want more?" Liam was slightly taken aback. He responded, "If someone is asking for an unreasonable amount, just refuse them." "Given the current standing of our Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, is there anyone we can't afford to turn down?" His
"I..." Liam furrowed his brows, about to say something more to Lucy. But just then… Ring, ring— Lucy's phone rang again. She glanced down at the screen, and the moment she saw the caller ID, she froze for a second. Then, with a sigh, she turned to Liam with a helpless smile. "Grandmaster Burrey, see what I mean?" She shook her head. "I just mentioned Commander Warren, and now he's calling again!" "Give me the phone." Liam's expression darkened as he gestured for her to hand it over. Without hesitation, Lucy obediently passed the phone to him. Liam picked up the call without a second thought. "Miss Hill, how's the matter I asked about yesterday? I heard that the production of White Glycoside Cream ointment has stabilized recently!" "Come on, have a little mercy and allocate more for the Central Military Region. The soldiers have it tough!" "You know how close I am with Grandmaster Burrey. If he asks, I'd even jump into boiling oil for him!" "
It was autumn. It had been drizzling continuously. Raindrops fell on the uneven ground, forming puddles.There was silence at the South City, Third Prison entrance. It seemed like it had been quiet for some time. Soon, the sound of the prison gate opening shattered the silence.A man with a tall figure, an elegant demeanor and sharp eyebrows stepped out of the prison gate. He crushed the puddles beneath his feet as he walked forward slowly. "It's been four years..." he murmured. The man stood at the prison gate, feeling uneasy as he looked up at the sky. A fleeting sense of nostalgia crossed his sharply defined face.It had been four years since he took the blame for his wife's, Serena Lloyd's, family. He had been imprisoned, cut off from the outside world. While recalling his time in prison, he smirked with mixed emotions. He had never imagined having such unbelievable experiences while being imprisoned.His hand subconsciously reached for his waist. On it was a needle case
"Here's what you wanted," Liam said as he handed over the documents to Serena after signing them.He only signed the divorce agreement. Liam did not even glance at all the property transfer documents!Grace reached out and took the documents."Wait!" Just then, Serena sighed softly, reaching into the stack of papers and pulling out one. "This is the transfer agreement of the cafe where we first met." She handed it to Liam. "You may decline everything else to spare your dignity, but please accept this cafe. Consider it our final memory together."You've just been released from prison, and your future won't be easy. This cafe can ensure your livelihood for a lifetime. Consider this my final request."Upon hearing this, Liam shook his head with a smile. He did not say much. He just casually accepted the transfer agreement for the cafe. It was obvious he did not take it seriously from the way he let the agreement get soaked in the rain."Miss Lloyd, shall we go?" Grace, seeing th
When Serena brought the news of her divorce from Liam back home, the Lloyd family erupted in jubilation! To an outsider, it would seem as though the Lloyd family had hit the jackpot.Hailey Allen, Liam's former mother-in-law, was ecstatic and could hardly contain her joy. "Oh, this is wonderful! Finally, the marriage is over!""Yes, it wouldn't even take that long if it weren't for Serena insisting on waiting until Liam was released from prison.""If Serena hadn't divorced that ex-convict, he would have continued to burden our Lloyd family! This time, Serena finally made the right choice!"Sam Lloyd, Serena's uncle, and other relatives like Charice Lloyd were present, all filled with excitement and chatter.It was hard to imagine that four years ago, when Liam was imprisoned, it was the same crowded room, but everyone looked sad and grateful, as if Liam were their savior!In just four short years, everything had changed. Whether it was ironic or resigned was unclear."Serena,
Meanwhile, Liam stood by the floor-to-ceiling window at the Havenwood Hotel in South City, gazing blankly at the bustling traffic below. Even now, he had not fully recovered from the emotions of his divorce. Who would have thought a loving relationship would end that way? Just moments ago, his former mother-in-law had even contacted him, asking for his address, saying she wanted to see him.Four years in prison and not a single visit from anyone in the Lloyd family. What meaning did it hold now for them to visit to see him?Liam let out a soft sigh. Then, he turned to look at the crumpled coffee shop transfer agreement lying on the table. "A lifetime of worry-free living?" he mused, recalling what Serena said with a sarcastic smile. He reached out and tore the agreement to shreds.At that moment, Liam's phone suddenly rang. Although arrangements had been made for him before his release, only a few people had his phone number.Frowning slightly, Liam answered the call. There
Just like when he had decided to lend a hand back then.What moved him was not the payment Lucy promised but simply Julian's long-standing kindness!"Mister Burrey! I'm truly grateful! I've only heard that you were previously in the Third Prison. Where exactly are you now? Please tell us, and we'll come to pick you up right away!" Lucy cried tears of joy.After informing Lucy of the hotel where he was staying, Liam hung up the phone.Shortly after, Liam lowered his head, reaching for the needle pouch woven from the golden thread at his waist. With a flick of his fingers, he opened the pouch.In an instant, the entire room seemed to brighten up! Different sized exquisite golden needles appeared before Liam.The golden needles were slender and intricately engraved with mysterious patterns. Each needle was a masterpiece, invaluable!There were 108 such golden needles in the pouch!When the 108 golden needles were put together, the mysterious patterns converged to form the words
As the Lloyd Group continued to expand under Serena's leadership, the status of the Lloyd family members soared. Etchen, who had always been useless and aimless, took advantage of the Lloyd family's influence to gather a group of useless friends and roam around. Ordinary people would be afraid to provoke them."You lazy kid, stop fooling around! You're not a kid anymore. Why don't you do something meaningful?" Hailey pretended to scold Etchen but could not help but smile."I do want to do something! It's just that my sister won't let me run a company. Don't worry, Mom, once I take over the cafe, I'll make something of myself!" Etchen shrugged.Soon, the two arrived at the door of Liam's room, according to the room number."He is even living in the presidential suite!" Seeing the room where Liam lived, the two widened their eyes in disbelief, feeling angry.Not long after Liam hung up the phone, there was a sudden banging on the door."So soon?" Liam frowned. He thought it was Luc
"I..." Liam furrowed his brows, about to say something more to Lucy. But just then… Ring, ring— Lucy's phone rang again.

However, at this moment, Liam, who was already on a flight back to the provincial capital, was completely unaware of any of this. He also had no idea that the Minister of the Hestia Drug Administration was growing impatient and eager to head to South City to settle accounts with him. If not for the ongoing impact of the White Glycoside Cream, Matthias might have already rushed to South City to confront him! Seated on the plane, Liam closed his eyes and began to doze off. The past few days had been exhausting, and he hadn't had a chance to rest properly. When he woke up, the plane was already preparing to land. Looking out at the familiar scenery through the window, a faint smile appeared on his lips. Although he hadn't been away from Qyn Province for long, returning still gave him a sense of coming home. He had always been somewhat nostalgic. The moment he stepped out of the airport, Lucy was already waiting at the entrance with a group of people. Judging by
"Grandmaster Burrey, I'll book your flight for you!" Hearing Liam's words, Lucy's voice was filled with excitement. Even though she was not sure what Liam's return could change, just knowing that Grandmaster Burrey was coming back made her feel a bit more at ease. "Alright." Liam nodded. After exchanging a few more words with Lucy, he hung up the phone. Lucy had already booked him the earliest available flight back to the provincial capital of Qyn Province. Liam looked up at the long queue ahead, a wry smile flashing across his face once again. He never expected this. Not being able to sell White Glycoside Cream had been frustrating. But selling too much of it turned out to be an even bigger headache. "Sigh…" Liam shook his head helplessly and turned to hail a taxi to Juneau. However… What Liam did not realize was that the explosive sales of White Glycoside Cream were not just putting pressure on Lucy alone. Not far from where he was, at the to
"You have no idea what kind of life we've been living ever since the White Glycoside Cream became a sensation..." As she spoke, her voice trembled, and she was on the verge of tears. It wasn't that Lucy had a weak tolerance for pressure. It was just that the stress they had endured during this period was simply overwhelming! The moment Lucy saw the long queue outside Midshine Pharmacy, all waiting to buy the White Glycoside Cream, she rushed back and immediately ramped up production. But even so— The supply of White Glycoside Cream was still far from enough. By the third day of its effects going viral, demand had already far outstripped supply. The production couldn't keep up at all! The impact it had was several times greater than when Bellflower Root first hit the market! Once people started realizing just how effective the White Glycoside Cream was— Not only ordinary consumers— Even the officials of Hestia, and even the military, reached out to the V
Liam was unaware that, aside from the clues related to Misha, the impact and shock caused by his destruction of the Nosh family were only just beginning! However, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. After all, why should he be concerned about something he did so effortlessly? At this moment, what troubled Liam was something else entirely. As he watched the traffic flowing back and forth ahead, a hint of helplessness flashed across his face. Where should he go now? After all, he had come to Juneau with two objectives. The Nosh family had been dealt with. And the matter concerning his mother, Misha, had once again reached a dead end. Both tasks had essentially reached a conclusion. As a result, Liam suddenly found himself unsure of what to do next. He couldn't just wander around Juneau, sightseeing and having fun, could he? As he pondered, Liam started walking forward. However, he hadn't gone far when a noisy and crowded scene ahead caught h
"The extermination of the Nosh family happened not long ago, and we just picked up Grandmaster Burrey from Sky Harmoney Villa." She swallowed nervously, her voice tinged with doubt. "Do you think Grandmaster Burrey might know something about this? Or… could he actually be involved?" "I…" Hearing this, Harris trembled, his pupils contracting sharply! Susan's words reminded him. They had picked up Grandmaster Burrey just outside Sky Harmoney Villa, and during their casual conversation, he had told them he was there to handle some personal matters! His personal matters… Could they have been about the Nosh family? "No! No way!" As soon as the thought surfaced in his mind, Harris quickly shook his head, dismissing it. "It can't be Grandmaster Burrey!" Even though they knew Grandmaster Burrey was incredibly powerful, he couldn't possibly be that powerful! That was the Nosh family of Juneau! Besides… They had not heard anything about Grandmaster Burrey a
"Based on the latest information, it wasn't those families that did this!" Hearing Susan's words, Harris's voice turned dry. "It wasn't those families?" Susan's body trembled upon hearing this, her eyes widening in shock. "Are you saying that there are other families in Hestia capable of wiping out the entire Nosh family?" "That's impossible!" She couldn't believe it. The more she talked to Harris about this, the more it felt like an absurd fantasy. The Nosh family of Juneau—what kind of power did they hold? How could an unknown force possibly exterminate them? In the vast land of Hestia, was there really another family capable of carrying out such destruction without making a sound? "The incident happened suddenly, and the details are still unclear. However, there are some rumors..." Harris's eyes trembled slightly. He swallowed hard and looked up at Susan. "The one who did all this... wasn't from those families in Hestia." "It was a single man!"
"We don't even dare to leave Juneau now." Susan let out a sigh. Because of the surveillance from that powerful entity, they did not dare to make any moves. This was precisely why they had yet to leave Juneau. "Don't worry, we might be able to leave soon." Hearing Susan's words, Harris seemed to have thought of something. He lifted his head and looked at her. "What do you mean?" Susan was taken aback, a hint of shock flashing across her face. "What happened? Something big enough to affect the Burrey Clan?" "It's that phone call I just received." Harris let out a bitter laugh. The news he had been told replayed in his mind, and his eyes darkened with deep shock. "I still can't believe it…" "The Nosh family… has been wiped out." As he spoke, his voice trembled. "What?!" The moment Harris's words landed, Susan shot up from her chair! At this moment, she finally understood why Harris had looked so utterly shaken after answering that call. She knew a
