"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

    Liam 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

    "Mr. Nevens, let's sit down and have a talk."With that, Liam guided Jonathan to a seat inside the shop, and they spent a long time catching up, with Liam learning about how Jonathan had been getting on those past few years.Meanwhile, Calum had taken care of Wilson and his gang of thugs and was then tidying up the chaos they had left at the door.Yazmine offered Liam a cup of water with a sheepish smile. "Lammy, please have some water. I'm sorry, we're out of coffee, just water."Liam rose swiftly to accept it, grinning. "No worries, Mrs. Nevens. Thank you."It took Jonathan a moment to grasp that that was not a dream. He dabbed at the tears in his eyes, his grip on Liam's hand unyielding, as he asked with a surge of emotion, "Lammy, now that you're back in Drunham City, what's your game plan?"Jonathan had a knack for reading people. The man at the door had an air of importance, and his allegiance to Liam spoke volumes about Liam's own standing.Without beating around the bush

    "Pulling in various power players? Looks like the mastermind behind the scenes is no small fry, Lammy. You've got a plan up your sleeve, don't you?" Jonathan inquired.Liam flashed a knowing smile and nodded, then laid out his strategy, "Exactly. Snatching up the Cole group is just step one. That's why I'm here today, Mr. Nevens. I need someone I can trust to run the show, and that's you. With you in charge, I can focus on the next moves without a worry."Jonathan's expression flickered with concern, but after a brief silence, he gave a solemn nod and committed, "You got it, Lammy. You have my word."At that, Liam beamed, his grip firm on Jonathan's hand, eyes alight with thanks. "Mr. Nevens, I can't thank you enough."With a comforting pat on Liam's hand, Jonathan glanced at the chaos of the fruit shop and voiced his worry, "Liam, I'm just glad you're back in one piece. However, you went in hot today. "That Scarface guy, Wilson, is Daxton's associate, and breaking his hand? That

    Lyla's heart was heavy with injustice. She had only spoken the truth, and yet Jonathan had scolded her, making her feel even more resentful toward Liam."At least you acknowledge it," she retorted.With a look that was both hurt and defiant, she said to Jonathan, "Dad, I was just stating the facts."Then, Lyla turned and dashed out the door with a frustrated stomp of her foot.Jonathan, concerned, called out after her, "Lyla, Lyla..."Lyla hesitated for a moment at the sound of her name but did not look back and kept on going.Liam watched the scene, a crease of concern forming on his brow. "Mr. Nevens, is Lyla upset?"Jonathan shook his head, his voice tinged with regret. "No, she's just got a lot on her mind. She blames me. I've failed her and her mother these past few years. If it weren't for my mistakes, Lyla wouldn't have to juggle school and a job to make ends meet at such a young age, ah..."Jonathan's eyes welled up again as he spoke of his eldest daughter, her maturity

    With no one to challenge him, Daxton did not just climb to the top, he became the kingpin of Copper Alley.Daxton had clawed his way up to a level where he could hold his own against some of the city's heavy hitters. Yet, for all his hustle, the top dogs still snubbed him. To them, Daxton was nothing more than a street thug playing boss. He might have had the Copper Alley's nightlife in his pocket and a crew of over a hundred loyalists, but he was not seen as big-league material.However, Daxton was not one to sit still. He had rubbed elbows with some of Drunham City's elite and opened up hotels and businesses in his slice of the city. His success did not go unnoticed, and soon enough, the city's envious eyes turned toward his turf.Some of the more impatient ones tried to cut deals with Daxton, eager for a piece of the action. However, they bit off more than they could chew and ended up getting a reality check from Daxton himself. His move did not win him any friends, but Daxton

    "Same here, I sent my people to Daxton, and it was a bust. Word is, Daxton's got his fingers in pies with some big-shot families, got himself some heavy hitters backing him. We can't even get a foot in the door for a slice of the pie!""Yeah, Mr. Wafer, cut to the chase, will you? What's the scoop? Don't tell me the big guns have stepped in..."Seeing the crowd getting antsy, Eaden cracked a smile and said, "What's got you all spooked? I've got something up my sleeve. Since when did you all turn into a bunch of scaredy-cats? Daxton's small potatoes."Let me lay it out for you. Daxton's gone and ticked off someone way out of his league, and right now, that big shot's over in Copper Alley, gearing up to take Daxton down. Anyone itching for a piece of that action, you're with me!"At that revelation, a wave of disbelief and shock washed over the faces of everyone in the room.Daxton crossed someone that powerful?!One person, doubt written all over his face, asked, "Mr. Wafer, you c

    Meanwhile, Eaden, having wrapped up his call, had his crew, hundreds strong, rally up from their various haunts and hangouts.A good three to four hundred of them, all clad in black, piled into the fleet of black sedans lined up along the curb.The convoy of sedans rolled out from every street corner, heading for Western Precinct's Copper Alley, drawing curious glances from the locals.Over at Western Precinct, Liam and Calum had made it to Daxton's lair, a clubhouse called Moonstream Pavilion right at the entrance.Calum stood off to the side respectfully, while Liam leaned against the car, taking drags off his cigarette with a brooding look toward the horizon.As he flicked the last bit of ash from his smoke, Liam's voice cut through the air, composed and decisive, "Let's roll."Calum nodded, sprinted to the Moonstream Pavilion's entrance, and with a powerful kick, he shattered the towering glass door.Crash!The sound of the shattering glass sent shockwaves through the clubh

    However, none of the thugs dared to charge forward this time. They were no fools. Their crew were all down on the floor before they could even see Calum striking. He was that terrifying. If they were to charge at him, they would be getting themselves killed.Seeing that none of his crew dared to attack, the muscular ringleader became incensed. He kicked a thug next to him who was slowly retreating and bellowed, "Damn it! Do you not understand what I say? There are so many of you! What are you fucking afraid of?"The thug that was kicked looked terrified as he said in a shaking voice, "He's too strong, sir. We would all be dead even if we charged at him at once."The rest of the thugs nodded in agreement.That was no joke at all. With how strong Calum was, they would truly be getting themselves killed if they were to attack him, would they not?The leader's eyes were filled with rage upon hearing that. He grabbed a knife from the thug next to him and shouted furiously, "What a bunc

    The entire meeting room was in absolute chaos. The remaining three Elders were equally vexed, and they all scowled, cracking their knuckles in fury."These people are getting out of hand! How can they possibly frame Liam's poor wife for such an atrocious crime?""We must get to the bottom of this! We must find out who's behind this! He or she cannot go unpunished!"Timothy nodded in agreement and roared at his cowering assistant, "Go find out what truly happened! Find out which filthy scum ordered Celena's arrest and what could possibly delude them into thinking she is a spy against our country!"His assistant squeaked a reply, then sped out of the room as fast as his legs could take him. He did not stop until he reached the front door of the Grand Pendragon Department, where he stood, panting and trying to catch his breath. His expression was wild with fear. He had never seen the Four Elders so furious before. Clearly, whatever had happened to Celena was something very serious ind

    Keyon could see right through Prince Faber's apprehension. He replied with a smile, "Prince Faber, why are you so scared of that Liam fellow? Have you somehow forgotten that you are the commander-in-chief now? You have hundreds of thousands of soldiers at your beck and call. Why does it matter what Liam thinks? He has been deposed and is no longer in power! Besides, you have the Yeager family backing you, and there is nothing he can do to harm you!"You don't have to worry about a thing; the Yeagers have this all taken care of. We are just doing this to lure Liam out of hiding. If he dares to touch so much as a hair on your head, he'll be falling right into your trap."Prince Faber furrowed his brows at this. He could not help but question the validity of Keyon's claims. Keyon, sensing this, added, "Prince Faber, you must remember that stripped of his powers, Liam Cole, is now nothing more than an ordinary civilian! If he dares to harm you, he will be sentenced to death for treason a

    What would Liam do if he found out Prince Faber had captured his wife? Surely he would not hesitate to turn the entire city upside down to look for her?Prince Faber was more than familiar with Liam's fierce loyalty and could not help but begin to worry at the prospect of having to face his wrath. He stared at Keyon's leering face and asked with belated realization, "Mr. Yeager, you ordered me to capture all those people from the Drunham City Connoisseurs, but the truth is, your sole target has always been Liam's wife. Is that right?"Keyon nodded, smiling. "That's right. We could care less about those businessmen. All we wanted was to get our hands on Celena Stone!"I must admit I was very surprised when I found out that Celena Stone is the wife of the great King Pendragon. Not only that, but I made an even more shocking discovery—it turns out that Liam is none other than the lone survivor of the Cole family, the noble clan who were allegedly wiped out seven years ago!"The ment

    After a few moments' hesitation, he finally decided to shoot his shot. "Mr. Yeager, there is something I don't understand. Why did the Yeagers order these businessmen's capture? I've looked into their backgrounds, and they are all honest businessmen who have not broken the law before. If the media catches wind of this, they will surely accuse me of abusing my power…"This was what Prince Faber had been worried about. He had already investigated the people whom the Yeagers ordered to be captured and did not understand why the Yeagers wanted them imprisoned. They were all civilians who had not committed any crime, and he dared not even imagine the consequences if the public found out he had ordered the incarceration of innocent citizens.Keyon understood immediately Prince Faber's concern. He smiled and replied in a reassuring tone, "Worry not, Prince Faber. We Yeagers have taken care of everything. We have made absolutely sure to cover up all your tracks, and no one will know you were

    Meanwhile, Celena and the group were taken out of the hotel and shoved forcefully into a couple of jeeps waiting at the entrance. They were whisked away to a nearby military base. Before they could even get their bearings straight, they found themselves being tossed into holding cells. Celena, on the other hand, was taken separately to a small, dark room, illuminated only by the barest sliver of light that peeped in through a tiny window. The room was entirely empty, save for a metal bed frame. A sour stench hung in the air, and it was clear this room had been abandoned for a very long time. A soldier shoved Celena roughly into the room, and before she could realize what was happening, the soldier slammed the door shut.The soldier had pushed Celena so hard that she fell onto the ground, but upon seeing that her captor was about to leave, she leaped to her feet and sprinted over to the door. "Sir, can you tell me what I did wrong? Can you please have mercy on me? Can you at least

    Tristan seemed just as baffled as they were. He returned their puzzled gazes with an equally perplexed one of his own. "I… I have no idea…"The general glanced sharply in their direction, then gestured to his soldiers and declared sternly, "Take them away!"His soldiers obliged and stepped forward to restrain the members of the Drunham City Connoisseurs, who all shrieked in alarm, "Why are you taking us away?""General, what did we do wrong? We didn't do anything illegal, so why are you arresting us?""Mr. Xander, save us! They've got this all wrong!""What's going on here? Why are they arresting only us?"Celena's entire body was shaking like a leaf. She eyed the soldiers around her and asked, stammering, "General, what did we do wrong? Why are we being captured? Where are you taking us?"Tristan, stricken with panic, shoved a soldier aside and shouted at the general, "General, I'm the president of the Drunham City Connoisseurs, and I want to know why we're being taken away.

    Celena was utterly terrified by the sudden turn of events. She stared pale-faced at the soldiers around her, not daring to move even a muscle. What was going on?All of a sudden, a man in a uniform stepped into the room. The badge on his shoulder indicated to everyone that he was a general. The heavy thumping of his boots echoed through the silent room with every step he took. All eyes were on him as he stepped onto the stage.He carried himself with great authority, and clearly, this man was not one to be messed with. He scanned the room as if searching for someone. Finally, he announced in a deep, resounding voice, "Do not fear, ladies and gentlemen. We are here on a routine check after receiving a tip-off regarding your conference. We will release you all once we have carried out our investigation, and the process will be quicker and smoother if you all cooperate. "Now, I would kindly request you get your documentation ready so that my men may confirm your identity."Everyone

    Derek nodded earnestly and replied, "Of course it's true. My sources have never failed me. I wouldn't have trusted you with this information if I didn't think you'd be interested."Celena stared at him for a moment, then turned to glance in the direction of the people he had pointed. She could not help but be tempted by the offer. She considered this for a few moments, then accepted his offer. "Alright then, Mr. Duncan. I'll go with you. Thank you for inviting me."The smile on Derek's face widened. He could hardly believe his luck—Celena had agreed to go with him! Taking that first step was always the hardest, but he had done it!Unbeknownst to Celena, Derek already knew her long before their first meeting at the conference. Her name was known far and wide in Drunham City, not least because of her beauty, but because of her—in the eyes of the public—tragic marriage. Celena had earned herself a reputation as one of the most beautiful women Drunham City had ever seen, and although

    The attention they received, however, was large due to Celena and her young, handsome companion, who was a man named Derek Duncan. Their attractive looks, both individually and combined, were easily the topic of discussion that night. Everyone who laid eyes on them admired both their good looks and brains, for certainly only the cream of the crop were allowed to attend this prestigious event. What made this feat even more impressive was the fact that they were both so young!Aside from her beauty, Celena's name was already known far and wide in the business world, not just because of her strong leadership but due to her association with Liam and her company's connections with many international corporations. She had started her business from scratch, but within a few short months, she had single handedly built it up to become one of the top ten grossing companies in Drunham City.There were hundreds of people gathered there tonight, and their seats had been allocated according to t
