The sudden scene froze Ryan in his tracks."Grandmaster Burrey, do you know them?" He glanced at Liam curiously, seeking answers.Although Ryan could have crossed paths with Andy before, it seemed he had forgotten him entirely."Not really acquainted," Liam replied lightly, casting a brief glance at Andy and Ruby without further elaboration.He did not care much for Andy's frenzied apologies or his audacity in slapping Ruby and himself. From the start, Liam had not held Andy and Ruby in high regard.However, that single glance from him made Andy shiver involuntarily, and his face twisted with fear.Observing Liam's indifference, Ryan understood.Andy and Ruby were not significant to Liam.Still, Ryan could not help but be startled by their sudden actions. He frowned and muttered softly, "Why are they letting just about anyone in? Is the security at the entrance slacking off?"However, Ryan knew it was not the time to deal with Andy and the others. He turned back to Liam, tryin
Liam shook his head. "Why do I have to tell your sister about my affairs?""You need to let my sister know…"Layla raised her head abruptly, her eyes flashing with urgency as if she wanted to continue.If Serena knew how much Liam had changed after his release from prison, and that he even had a friend who could lend him Villa No. 3 in Hush Purple Gardens, her opinion of Liam would surely change.Her entire family might start to see Liam differently too. After all, Serena had always despised Liam for his lack of ambition. However, upon seeing Liam's expression, Layla could not help but sigh lightly. She could tell that her brother-in-law had no such intentions. It seemed she would have to help him on her own.Determination flashed in Layla's eyes as she raised her head. "Liam, do you know how long you'll be staying at Hush Purple Gardens?" Liam frowned. "How long?"He had never discussed with Gabriel about how long he would live at Hush Purple Gardens. However, he figured Gab
Ryan was adept at reading between the lines. He could discern from the subtle shifts in Liam's expression just moments ago. There was a sense of apprehension. Liam seemed to harbor feelings for Serena, as Layla mentioned.Ryan turned toward Liam, his face adorned with a wide grin. "Grandmaster Burrey, what are your thoughts on this approach? Does this suit you?"Liam paused for a moment. "Of course, it's no problem!" Ryan vigorously nodded in response, though he had yet to uncover Liam's true identity.However, Ryan knew who the former owner of Villa No. 3 was. The way Gabriel spoke about Liam in their recent phone call had sent shivers down their spines.To command such respect from a regional commander! Liam's true identity was beyond their wildest imaginations.Layla hastily waved her hands. "No, no. It's unnecessary! Mister Hollister, there's no need!"Although she could not fathom why Ryan referred to her brother-in-law as Grandmaster Burrey, Ryan's suggestion was indeed
Just as Layla was still in a daze, Ryan spoke to Liam in a flattering tone. "Grandmaster Burrey, now that everything has been taken care of. Shall we take a look inside the house? Let me give you a brief introduction to the interior.""Alright."Liam nodded before turning to Layla. "Layla, let's go inside together."From her earlier expression, it seemed Layla was also curious about the interior of Villa No. 3. Hearing Liam's invitation, Layla snapped back to reality. However, she shook her head and declined."Liam, I won't go in with you. I need to hurry back!"Liam was taken aback. "What's so urgent?"Layla replied hastily, "Mister Hollister has already reserved Villa No. 22 for us. We shouldn't make things too difficult for him. I need to hurry back and inform my sister so she can prepare the money as soon as possible!"Seeing her determination, Liam did not insist. "Alright. Take care on your way back.""Don't worry, Liam!"Layla smiled, skipping down the mountain path.
Liam had not expected it. Gabriel had merely mentioned letting him stay temporarily, but ultimately, he gave Liam the villa!Liam initially felt a bit helpless when given that valuable gift, but he ultimately had no further emotions. After all, no matter how luxurious Villa No. 3 was, to Liam, it was just a place to live.Liam was quite satisfied with the environment in Hush Purple Gardens. Moreover, Villa No. 3 was already equipped with all the necessary living supplies, so he did not need to purchase anything additional.Meanwhile, as Liam was getting familiar with Villa No. 3, Layla hurried back to the Lloyd family home.As soon as she stepped through the door, she called out loudly in a rush, "Sis, are you home? You won't believe what happened today when I went to see the house!"Serena turned toward the front door when she heard the commotion. She frowned slightly, her delicate face carrying a hint of authority. "Speak slowly! How old are you, still causing a ruckus?""It's
In the past, Ruby constantly spoke ill of Liam and even urged her to break up with him. It made Serena very unhappy. Unbeknownst to Liam, she had a big fight with Ruby over it.That was another reason why Ruby held such a grudge against Liam. From that moment on, Serena began to distance herself from Ruby. If she had not heard Ruby's name from Layla, she would have completely forgotten about her.However, recalling everything that had happened recently, Serena felt a bit dazed, letting out a sigh.Maybe Ruby was right. She should have listened to her and broken up with Liam sooner.Unaware of Serena's thoughts, Layla quickly grabbed her sister's hand cheerfully. "Serena, why are you sighing? You don't have to worry. Even though Ruby and her companion wanted to buy Villa No. 22, they couldn't outbid us in the end!""Didn't they have enough budget?" Serena asked in confusion."Of course not! They already paid the deposit!"Serena frowned. "Once they've paid the deposit, it sho
Seeing the look on Serena's face, Layla raised her head. "It's Liam! How could you forget my brother-in-law?"The moment Serena heard the name, her eyes widened. "Liam? Layla, I told you I divorced Liam. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. After all the terrible things he's done, do you still think of him as your brother-in-law? Besides, what does buying a house in Hush Purple Gardens have to do with Liam?" Serena was furious. The recent incident at the police station still angered her.She could not understand how Liam could be involved with the Hush Purple Gardens. That place was beyond his reach.Layla quickly interjected. "Serena, don't get upset! I talked to him, and those things we thought he did, he didn't do any of them! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to secure a villa in Hush Purple Gardens at all. When I went to look at houses in Hush Purple Gardens as you instructed, I ran into him at the entrance. At first, I thought he was just out for a
Seeing the commotion, Ronald could not stand it anymore. He waved his hand in disdain."Enough, enough! Stop spouting nonsense! Liam living in Villa No. 3? That loser couldn't dream of such a place! I've dealt with Mister Hollister previously. He's an arrogant man. There's no way he would reserve a villa for us."Even if Serena went there, he might not even spare her a glance! Do you think Liam could make Mister Hollister refuse an offer from Ruby? That loser? You're getting more and more ridiculous!""I'm not lying!"Seeing that no one in the family believed her, Layla's chest heaved with anger, and she was almost on the verge of tears. She thought her family would be shocked to hear what had happened. She even hoped it might change their attitude and opinion of Liam.However, to her surprise, no one in the family believed her.Hailey stood back, looking disapprovingly at Layla. "I don't know what made you come up with such lies, but from now on, don't mention Liam again! Both o
"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!" "
"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
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
