His daughter’s life was hanging by a thread as she lay on the hospital bed… His wife had been bullied by her family…Liam Cole, the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors, was a man who had protected millions of people but had wronged his wife and daughter. After he returned to the city, he eliminated all obstacles and made his wife and daughter the happiest people in the world.
View MoreUnbeknownst to him, Liam had already learned of this from Joseph. He nodded, smiling, and replied, "Alright."The two of them chatted for a little while more until Timothy finally got up and left. The smile on Liam's face disappeared the moment Timothy left. He turned to Cirocco and ordered, "Cirocco, summon all of the Green Dragon Warriors within the country!""Yes, sir!" Cirocco replied in excitement, then strode away to carry out Liam's orders. The Chanter brothers overheard this and exchanged looks of delight. This could only mean one thing—Liam was preparing to strike!What happened to Celena had not only infuriated Liam but the Chanter brothers and the Green Dragon Warriors as well. They all vowed to avenge Celena as soon as they got the chance! Therefore, they were all practically buzzing with excitement when they heard Liam was about to put his plan into action. Within hours, all the Green Dragon Warriors currently serving within the borders of Biskeland had gathered at
The same day, Timothy stopped by to visit Liam, on behalf of the entire Grand Pendragon Department. He had brought with him an array of rare, expensive herbs as gifts for Liam.Timothy felt a weight lift off his shoulders when he saw that Liam was recovering well. He sat down next to Liam's bed and said solemnly, "Liam, I'm sure you've received His Majesty's orders as well. The Yeagers are to be left to their own devices for now. His Majesty met up with the elders of the Yeager family a few days ago and issued a formal warning to them. They will have to think twice before making another move for the foreseeable future."A glimmer of malice flashed through Liam's eyes upon hearing this. He raised his brows and said, his voice laced with disdain, "Why? Is His Majesty afraid of the Yeagers?"Truth be told, Liam still harbored a grudge toward the King over the recent events. Everyone knew that Prince Faber was responsible for Celena's torture, and yet the King had demanded Liam to forgi
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Nasir replied. All of a sudden, something occurred to him, and he asked frowning, "Your Majesty, what should we do about the Yeagers?"The King was momentarily silent as he considered this. When he next spoke, however, it was not to reply to his question but to ask another one. "How are Liam and Celena doing now?""Your Majesty, Liam has already awoken, but Celena is still unconscious. Her condition has stabilized, and it looks like she'll recover just fine."The King's expression relaxed upon hearing this. He turned to gaze out at the distant horizon, then said, "The Four Ancient Families, the Yeagers included, are getting out of hand. They are becoming arrogant, thinking that their power can allow them to get away with anything. The Yeagers alone couldn't have accomplished a feat as impressive as attempting to assassinate our nation's commander-in-chief. The remaining three families must've been involved as well."Nasir nodded solemnly. "I agree, Your Majesty
He immediately ripped the covers off himself and leaped out of bed. He staggered out of the room, shouting, "Celena!"It was Calum who came running, having heard his shouts. He was delighted to see Liam awake and cried out in joy, "Sir, you're finally awake! We were all worried sick!"His eyes were bloodshot, and he was on the verge of tears. Indeed, he had been worried sick about the fate of his great master, but now, all Liam could think of was Celena. He asked, "Calum, where's Celena? How is she? Has she awoken?"Calum held him steady and replied, "Mrs. Cole is in the room next door, sir. Don't worry; Dr. Jensen and Mr. Ryder have seen to her already, and she's fine now. Her condition has stabilized. Unfortunately she hasn't awoken yet."Liam let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this. The deep breath he took, however, made his stitches hurt again, and he winced. Calum asked in concern, "Sir, are you alright? Shall I help you back to your room so you can rest?""No, I want to
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Nasir replied, then scooped Liam up in his arms and sprinted away.After Nasir disappeared from view, the King finally turned to the Four Elders, who were all seething with rage. He did not seem at all intimidated by their fury, though, and instead asked calmly, "Elders, what do you have to say about today's events?"Geoffrey felt like he was on the brink of exploding from anger. He was just about to give the King a piece of his mind when Timothy stopped him. Regaining his composure, Timothy turned to glance at the King solemnly. "Your Majesty, we do not mean to question your decisions. We understand that you have your reasons for doing such, but our hearts ache for Liam. We have witnessed all the hard work he has put in over the years, and we feel bad for him."The King nodded in agreement. Truth be told, he felt the same about Liam's fate. Liam was one of his most trusted aides, and in regards to his feud with Prince Faber, he sided with Liam wholeheartedly. U
A crimson puddle bloomed over Prince Faber's chest, and his entire body fell backward from the impact. His face was etched with panic, and his lips were parted in a scream. He had just barely croaked out a cry for help when his body landed limply in a puddle of his blood, and he drew his final breath.Such was the death of Prince Faber, at the hands of the great Liam Cole!Liam, on the other hand, could not even stand upright any longer. He lost his balance and staggered to the ground. He turned his eyes skyward, tears streaming down his cheeks. With a smile, he murmured, "I'm sorry, Celena, for failing to protect you, but I've avenged you now… Please don't stay mad at me…"With that, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground, a small smile still lingering on his lips.Everyone froze, but the most shocked of them all was Nasir. He had always been calm and steadfast, but this sudden twist of events had rendered him utterly speechless. He stood there, rooted to the place in utter dis
It was at this point that Liam could not hold back his tears any longer. Tears welled in his bloodshot eyes, and his breath caught in his throat. His tears clung precariously to the corner of his eye before finally streaming down his face. Men were traditionally expected not to show their weakness, but how could they not when they were living, breathing humans capable of feeling emotions like everyone else? Liam took a deep breath to steady himself, then said, "It was not until my daughter got into a terrible accident, and Celena was forced to contact me, that I finally found out we had a child together. It was not until Celena reached out to me in despair that I found out how much pain and suffering she had gone through in my absence."From that day onward, I swore to protect her at all costs. I would protect Celena, even if my life depended on it. Now that she has fallen victim to Prince Faber's cruelty, how dare you all demand that I let him go? How dare you order me to release
"Are we just going to watch Liam disobey the king and get himself killed?" Geoffrey shouted at Timothy furiously, glaring at him as he did not agree with what Timothy said.Timothy shook his head and said, "Liam is going to kill Prince Faber today. It's inevitable for him to fight with Mr. Eacker as well. What we can do is to be prepared. We have to keep Liam alive no matter what price we have to pay."After all, Liam did too much for Biskeland.The other three elders fell silent upon hearing Timothy's words. They said nothing even after a while, but they looked determined.After Nasir unleashed all of his might, the air Liam exuded was overpowered. That made Liam feel a tremendous amount of pressure.However, Liam did not back down at all. He fought the pressure Nasir gave him with all his might and kept closing in on Prince Faber.However, Nasir was truly way more powerful than Liam was. No matter what move Liam made, he simply could not get any closer to Prince Faber.Seeing
"How much have I given to Biskeland? Look at all these scars. The Pendragon Warriors and I have protected every piece of the land at the borders with our blood."For Biskeland, I would be willing to die on the battlefield without any complaints. However, I absolutely can't accept being harmed because of the schemes set up by my people."My wife has been harmed by Prince Faber. She's severely injured and bedridden right now. There's no telling if she would survive. And you want me to let this culprit go?"I have to kill Prince Faber today for my wife's sake, no matter what price I'll have to pay!"Liam grabbed his dagger and charged at Prince Faber again. He was filled with rage and was hellbent on killing him.Nasir was a little dazed as he looked at Liam's scars. He could understand Liam's feelings, and he could understand why Liam was so stubborn.However, he also had a job to do.He was the king's bodyguard. Nothing was more important to him than the king's orders.Nasir ste
There on the hospital bed, surrounded by beeping devices, laid a little girl who was covered in blood. Her life was hanging by a thread. Her mother, Celena Stone, was sitting next to the bed, holding her hands tightly. Celena was covered in tears. She forced herself to endure the pain deep down and comforted her daughter, "Be a good girl, Jovie. Your father will come back to see us as long as you're a good girl.""Mom, it hurts so much! Am I going to die soon? I want to see Dad. I'm not a bastard. My father is very powerful—"Before Jovie could finish, she started shaking all over because of the pain.After Celena saw Jovie fainted, she frantically took out her phone. While she cried and instinctively dialed the number she memorized for years, she said, "Be good, Jovie. I'll tell your father to come and see you now. Don't fall asleep, alright?"Once the call was picked up, Celena did not wait for the person to say anything. She immediately said, "Liam, I'm Celena. Could you com
