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.
Standing in the center of the encirclement, Liam kept posture relaxed, but every muscle was ready for action. With the strategy that the goons were using trying to make sure he didn't have enough space to move, Liam knew it was going to be a tough fight, but nothing he couldn't handle.He met the fierce gazes of the men around him with a calm. Despite not having enough room to maneuver because of the men's tactics, he wasn't worried about that.The anticipation in the room was evident, the silence just before the storm of violence. Mr Simpson had the biggest arrogant smile on his face, he couldn't help it. After all, he was going to witness how Liam gets humbled. Liam’s senses were on high alert, tracking the distance between each man, the rhythm of their breathing, and the subtle shifts in their stance. He noticed how the first security guard charged towards him from his back, clearly attempting to attack him from behind. Liam pretended like he didn't notice that as he continued to
Gasps escaped the lips of the onlookers as they watched Liam deliver a powerful kick to the goon’s chest. To their astonishment, the goon remained unmoved, his expression unchanged, as if Liam’s attack had no effect on him. Mr. Simpson’s cold smirk grew wider as he observed the scene. The man’s lack of reaction made it seem like Liam had finally encountered a worthy opponent. To everyone, it appeared that the goon’s resilience was unmatched, even in the face of Liam’s forceful strike.What neither Mr. Simpson nor the spectators realized was that Liam had deliberately restrained his power. The kick, though seemingly forceful, was executed with minimal strength, revealing his intent to test the goon's strength rather than to overwhelm him. With a groan, the man swung toward Liam with the knuckle dusters. Liam effortlessly dodged the blow and countered with a precise, upward jab to the man’s jaw.The punch landed with a satisfying thud, the knuckle duster instantly rendered useless. The
Mr. Simpson’s face twisted in fury and disbelief as his plan to humble Liam backfired spectacularly. Earlier, he had been so full of himself, even going so far as to demand that Liam get on his knees and apologize for his own sake. But now, with his plan in ruins, that confidence had completely evaporated. It was a bitter humiliation, especially after being so certain that he had the upper hand.In front of all the people he had tried to impress with his dominance, Mr. Simpson now looked foolish and humiliated for daring to challenge someone like Liam. Even the mayor, who knew the extent of Mr Simpson's power and influence had to admit that challenging a Danvers was going too far even for Mr Simpson.The sneer Mr Simpson had worn earlier was gone, replaced by a tight lipped scowl as he struggled to process the reality of his defeat. He didn't think that him ordering his men to Humble Liam would lead to this. What was even worse was the fact that he had lost to the very person he shoul
