Liam suspected that Mr. Simpson must have leveraged the mayor’s help to get Nathan out of jail. If that was true, it meant Mr. Simpson’s connections were even more extensive than Liam had anticipated. Being able to get the mayor's help was no small feat for a lot of people. However, to someone as powerful as the Simpsons it wasn't very hard. But still, Liam wasn’t impressed. Mr. Simpson having strong connections with the mayor wasn’t such an impressive feat to him. The Danvers family had ties to far more powerful people in key positions across the country.Liam let out a deep sigh as he put the phone down. He leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples as he tried to think of his next move. The release of Nathan from jail felt like a direct challenge from Mr. Simpson, a test of power and influence. Liam had always known that the Simpsons were well-connected, but this was a bold move even for them, one that seemed to be a clear message: ‘We can reach just as far as you can.’The fac
The next day, Liam decided to pay a visit to the mayor, the same person who had made the call for Nathan to be released. He arrived at the grand, stately building that housed the mayor’s office. As he walked towards the entrance his steps were measured and deliberate. He walked past the security guards who performed their usual security checks on him before letting him in.He stepped into the spacious, elegantly designed lobby that served as the reception area. Liam glanced around, and the air was cool and quiet. The space was open and airy, with high ceilings and large windows that let in natural light, casting long shadows across the polished marble floors.Liam was impressed with how beautiful and opulent the place was. The reception area was beautifully decorated, with modern art pieces hanging on the walls and a few potted plants strategically placed to add a touch of greenery. There were also sleek, leather armchairs arranged in small clusters around glass coffee tables, offerin
Seeing Mr Simpson and the mayor together, only confirmed what Liam already knew: Mr. Simpson was behind the mayor’s decision to demand Nathan's release from police custody. As the three of them, Nathan, Mr Simpson and the mayor engaged in conversation, they didn't see that Liam was standing near the window in the lobby. Liam decided not to make his presence known to them as he quietly observed the three men. Standing by the large windows, he kept his gaze fixed on the group, trying to piece together what they were talking about. He tried to overhear their conversation, but they were too far away from him to hear anything. Their voices were little more than faint murmurs drowned out by the ambient noise of the building, but judging by their friendly and cheerful expressions, he could tell that the mayor and Mr Simpson got along very well. Which explained how the mayor was the one who had made the call to free Nathan. Mr Simpson clearly was the one who had asked him. Liam’s mind race
If this were truly a business meeting, Nathan's presence made no sense to Liam, because first of all he wasn't connected to Mr Simpsons corporation and secondly, Nathan was a criminal who was only out of jail because of Mr Simpson. Liam already knew the truth, that the mayor was aiding Mr. Simpson but he wanted to hear them try to justify it.“Then what is his business in all this? Why is he not in police custody?” Liam asked, his gaze fixed on Nathan, who stood beside Mr. Simpson and the mayor. Liam then said to Nathan, “And don’t think just because you’re out now, I’ve forgotten what you did. I’ll make sure you pay for it.Nathan stared back at Liam his gaze cold, engaging in a silent battle of wills. However he didn't say anything in return. Well, what was he supposed to say in response? Normally, Nathan would have shot back a retort or challenged Liam to take action. But now, having seen firsthand what Liam was capable of, Nathan knew better than to provoke him further.The truth
The confidence and arrogance in Mr Simpson's tone as he made threats to Liam was unmistakable. And Liam could tell that his confidence was not empty, he was this confident for a reason. And knowing the man he was dealing with, Liam could tell that Mr Simon must have been plotting something major, that could be really damaging, and knowing that Liam was very concerned and knew he had to find out what Mr Simpson was up to this time and put an end to it. He remembered that Mr Simpson and Salvatore had once aligned themselves with the shadow court, so maybe that was why Mr Simpson was this arrogant and confident in himself.Having the backing of a powerful and mysterious secret society must be the reason Mr Simpson was so full of himself right now and thought he could challenge the Danvers. However even after knowing that, Liam didn't show any sign of being concerned on his face. He really was not all that threatened by Mr Simpson or whoever was backing him. Plus he felt better knowing
The tension in the room was at its peak, and the air was thick with the promise of conflict. The mayor was visibly sweating now. He glanced nervously between the two men, his heart racing as he thought of a way to make sure this doesn't escalate. Such things would be bad for him and his political career as there were so many things that could go wrong if things escalate.The mayor could feel the growing tension in the air as the eyes of aides and staff members locked onto the confrontation between Mr. Simpson and Liam. Conversations were hushed, and the usual hustling and bustling activity in the building came to a halt as everyone had turned their attention to the two men who were now the center of attention. Even those building staff who were usually moving about attending to their roles had stopped in astonishment.Murmurs of surprise and astonishment spread through the crowd."Is that… Mr. Simpson?" someone murmured, their voice laced with disbelief as they recognized the older ma
Liam smirked coldly, recognizing the predictable move as Mr. Simpson resorted to calling in his goons. It was typical of the man to rely on brute force everytime to deal with things. However the presence of the goons didn’t intimidate Liam. If anything it proved to him that his words were having an effect on Mr Simpson.Liam’s senses were razor sharp as he stayed on high alert, every muscle in his body tensed as me Simpson’s men began to move towards him and Mr Simpson. But outwardly, he remained calm, almost indifferent, his gaze fixed on Mr. Simpson as if the encroaching threat was of no concern to him. His posture was relaxed, almost casual, giving the impression that he was entirely focused on his verbal sparring with Mr. Simpson. To anyone watching, it might have seemed as though Liam was oblivious to the danger creeping closer. But this was a calculated act, as he wanted to catch them off guard. In reality, Liam’s peripheral vision tracked every movement, every shift in positio
Although he had witnessed Liam’s strength and skill before, this time Mr. Simpson felt a surge of confidence. He had upgraded his security team, handpicking men who were tougher, more skilled in hand to hand combat than the ones who had failed him before, so he was sure that there was no way someone like Liam would be able to come out on top against them.Liam’s eyes narrowed, sensing the shift in Mr. Simpson’s demeanor. Without looking at him, Liam replied, “Hmm, we'll see,” He said, his voice devoid of any worry as he prepared himself for the inevitable clash between him and Mr Simpson's men.Just then, the room fell silent with anticipation as everyone had their attention on Liam and the goons, the only sound being the subtle shuffling of the guards as they moved into position. Meanwhile, as he watched the scene unfold, Nathan's eyes lit up with satisfaction. A twisted grin spread across his face as he watched the goons begin to close in on Liam. ‘Finally,’ he thought to himself.
