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 MoreLiam twisted Wilson's hand with brutal force, snapping it clean at a right angle."Ah! My hand!!"The sickening snap of bone echoed, followed by Wilson's agonized howls as his hand was gruesomely broken for all to see.Wilson staggered back, clutching his mangled hand, his face a mask of pain and terror as he stared at Liam, the unexpected avenger."Who... who the hell are you? Do you even know who I am? You've got some nerve, meddling like this. You think I won't have you taken out for this?" Wilson bellowed in rage.Liam ignored the outburst, merely shooting a frosty look at Wilson and the thugs rushing to his aid, knives drawn and glinting with menace, ready to strike at any sudden move.Unfazed, Liam simply arched an eyebrow and turned to Calum. "Pay them," he ordered, his voice calm and commanding.Calum strode up with purpose, a sleek silver case in hand, and tossed it at the feet of a man known as Wilson. His voice was icy as he spoke, "Here's 60 thousand dollars. The deb
"Enough with the sob story. You think you can dodge debts and still send kids to school?"Just then, Lyla, Jonathan's high school-aged daughter, returned from school. Spotting the gang of debt collectors loitering at the fruit shop's entrance, she dashed forward, her small frame shielding Jonathan and Yazmine.Her eyes were ice as she stared down Wilson, "You're here for the cash, right? Take it and get out of our lives!"Wilson eyed the defiant Lyla, a smirk curling his lips. "Well, well, if it isn't Lyla. However, this pittance? Hardly covers what your old man owes. Here's a thought. Come with me, work off the debt at my boss's club. You could make a pretty penny, and pay off the old man's dues in no time. How 'bout it?"His words slithered out as his gaze lasciviously swept over Lyla's face, and without warning, he reached out and grabbed her chin, his touch a vile claim.Lyla was a knockout—her figure was the envy of many, with curves in all the right places. However, what rea
The ringleader, Wilson, his hair a brassy yellow, sported a tank top that showed off a canvas of tattoos and a scar that looked like it was ripped straight from a horror flick. "Hey, Jonathan, how long are you gonna make us wait? When are you coughing up the cash? Our boss made it clear—today's your last chance. If you don't pay, we're trashing this pathetic fruit stand of yours!" he snarled.Jonathan, hearing the commotion, rushed out and tried to appease the man with a nervous grin. "I'm so sorry. I've been doing everything I can to get the money. Just give me a few more days, please? I swear I'll have it for you soon!"However, Wilson was not having any of it. He shoved Jonathan hard, sending him sprawling over his own fruit, then pinned him down amidst the scattered produce. "What's this crap? You think you're messing with me? More time? You gave me that line days ago!"Enraged, he signaled to his lackeys with a furious wave. "Wreck it all!" he bellowed. The thugs, eager for d
"Also, keep today's events and Liam's identity under wraps. If I catch wind that any of you blabbed… Well, let's just say you won't be able to handle the fallout," Calum warned with a stern huff before he turned on his heel and left.Not long after, the dismissal notices for Karter and the six employees were plastered up for all to see. They packed up their desks with heavy hearts and regret, exiting the LJC Group for the last time.Meanwhile, Liam headed straight for the parking lot. Settling into his car, he fixated on the list in his hands. The first name was Jonathan Nevens, the very person he was most eager to find. As he gazed at the name, a wave of emotion washed over him, and he whispered to himself, "Mr. Nevens, how are you holding up?"Jonathan had been Chester's right-hand man and closest confidant, sticking by him since the early days of the Cole group. He had also been a part of Liam's life as he grew up, earning Liam's deep respect, which is why he still referred to hi
This was their boss, Mr. Miller's first time visiting the company since the merger, so as the general manager of the company, Calum would naturally be around to handle everything. Karter was trying to butter up to everyone he met, as always, but clearly today was not his lucky day. The next moment, Calum raised his arm above him and slapped Karter so hard that he spun in a circle before finally losing his balance and crumpling onto the floor. Calum then shot the remaining six employees a cold look and snarled, "All seven of you are hereby fired! You are no longer employees of this company! Get out of here before I call security!"Calum's shout reverberated through the entire hallway, a clear indicator of how furious he truly was.Karter was stunned beyond words. Ignoring the excruciating pain on his flaming cheek, he got to his feet and asked, "Mr. Chanter, why? Why are you firing me? What did I do wrong?"His lackeys were so shocked by this that the color had drained from the
Liam took another puff of his cigarette and said, nodding, "Indeed, you've just reminded me. I shouldn't let parasites like you leech off other people's hard work anymore. You're nothing but a disgrace to this company, so from this moment onwards, all seven of you, including Karter, are fired!"Karter and his six lackeys all froze, staring at Liam in utter disbelief. The cold silence sank over them.After a few seconds, Karter snickered, then adjusted his tie and said rather haughtily, "What on earth are you talking about, Liam? Fire me? Who do you think you are? What makes you think you can fire me?"You must be out of your mind, Liam! I think that the downfall of your family has given you a rather nasty shock and clearly made you psychotic. Do you honestly still think this company belongs to you? Do you still think this is Cole Enterprise? Well, if that's the case, perhaps I shouldn't pick on you any longer. It's not fair to pick on a psychotic patient."After his long-winded dec
Some of Karter's lackeys who were more desperate to get on his good side immediately turned to Liam, furious, and shouted, "How dare you attack Mr. Neal like that? Who do you think you are?""Do you honestly think you're still the heir of this company or something? You must be delusional! You are a good-for-nothing who's leeching off his own wife, so what makes you think you're better than us?""Apologize to Mr. Neal right this instant, or else!""He's right! Apologize to Mr. Neal right now or we'll make you pay for this!""Apologize to him!"Two of the men had propped Karter up between them, whereas the remaining four employees all began to pull their sleeves up as though preparing themselves for a physical brawl!Liam furrowed his brows, then shot them a look as cold as ice and snarled, "Is that all you've got? Do you think you can even match up against me?"His tone was laced with such vehemence that the employees immediately stepped backward rather timidly. The moment Liam s
"Well, why don't you ask him yourself? Hahaha—"Liam scowled when he heard the contempt evident in their tones and stared at them coldly. "Had enough fun?"Karter snickered, then gave Liam a playful shove in his side, sneering. "What's wrong? We're just fooling around, lighten up! Besides, who did you think you were? Do you honestly still think you're the heir of the Cole family, like the good old days? Get your head out of the clouds, boy! The Cole clan doesn't exist anymore, and you're the only one left behind with nothing to your name! I also hear that you married one of the Stones' daughters and are serving them as their son-in-law now, is that true?"How embarrassing! How did you possibly swallow your dignity to do something like that? Poor you! I didn't think you'd one day end up in such a position that you'd need to rely on your wife, of all people!"What do you think your father will say if he sees this? What will he think of his precious son, once the heir of the legendary
Back when Liam's father was still in charge, Karter had been nothing more than an ordinary employee with nothing to write home about. The only reason he had been given a permanent post after finishing his probation period, despite his mediocre performance, was because Liam had taken pity on him, out of consideration of his desperate pleas. Liam was not at all surprised at being recognized, considering he had forgotten his mask. He nodded and replied, "It's you, Mr. Neal. Long time no see."Karter snickered at this and cried out, "My God, it is you! I thought I had been mistaken. Who would have thought that I'd one day run into Liam Cole, the heir of the Cole family himself, right in the premises of Cole Enterprise!"All of a sudden, Karter knocked himself sharply on the head, feigning surprise, and added, sneering, "Oh, God, bless my memory! I've forgotten that the entire Cole family had been wiped out seven years ago, and Cole Enterprise has ceased to exist since then! It is now L
