The shadow that was Liam kept weaving through the thugs. Before the thugs could even see him, they were sent flying by his punches.One of the thugs saw that Liam was fighting with someone and wanted to sneak up on him from behind. He aimed his machete at the back of Liam's neck and took a swing.However, Liam moved to the side, so the thug missed him and was left in a daze instead. In that split second, Liam picked the thug up and threw him to the side, knocking over a few more thugs who wanted to attack Liam. All of them crashed into the pile of materials behind them.Within half a minute, more than 20 thugs were all lying on the ground. Those who were unconscious were all covered in blood. Those who were still awake were holding their limbs and abdomen in pain, wailing miserably.The rest of the thugs who saw the scene were stunned. All of them looked at each other, not having the guts to take a step forward.At that moment, Liam was Death personified to them.How could he be
The thug wanted to run away, but his legs turned to jelly out of fear. He wanted to call his crew to help him with his shaking voice. However, nobody answered it.It was only then he realized all the other men already fled. He was the only one left.There was a pin-drop silence in the factory. Celena and the workers were all in shock. They could not believe what they saw at all.It was too terrifying! Everything happened within a minute!Initially, there were dozens of ferocious-looking thugs surrounding the factory. However, other than the thirty thugs lying on the ground and the leader standing in front of Liam, all the others ran runoff. Right at that moment, Liam walked up to the thug standing before him.The thug looked nervous and terrified, and he was shaking as he kept backing off. He stuttered, "D-don't come over. I'm warning you. My boss is going to be here soon with the backup. Don't come over. If you dare to lay a finger on me, you'll be dead meat when my boss is her
However, what Liam said in the next second made the thug feel like he was in hell.Liam frowned and gave it a thought, then he said icily, "Sonny Club? I've never heard of it. Is it very impressive?"The thug's expression became stiff when he heard Liam's question. His eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief, "Bullshit! You've never heard of Sonny? You're going to be scared to death once I tell you. Sonny Club is in the top ten among the mafias in the state."The thug refused to give up. He wanted to use Sonny Club's name to intimate Liam. Seeing that Liam was calm, he continued shouting angrily, "Sonny is quite influential in the state. He has hundreds of men working under him. Hundreds of men would jump into action at his command. If you dare to offend him, you'll suffer a miserable end. Forget about running this factory, Sonny is going to seek revenge on the entire Stone family."However, Liam only hummed indifferently in response after he listened to the thug calmly. It was
Liam saw that Celena was feeling down, so he hugged Celena and stroked her head. To comfort her, he said, "Celena, don't worry. It will all be taken care of. Let me handle the matters with the equipment. I'll ask and see if there is any more equipment to send over. You can take care of recruiting people. Don't worry, alright?"Celena sniffed in sorrow and nodded before she said, "Mmhmm. That's all we can do for now. I'll leave you to ask about the equipment first. We'll think of other ways if there's none."As soon as she said that, a worker who was moving the equipment suddenly came running in. He was in a panic and feeling fearful as he shouted, "Bad news, Ms. Stone. Something bad has happened. A lot of people are here again. We're in trouble."Immediately after that, a few black Mercedes-Benz and a dozen black vans that looked exactly like the ones outside the factory were stopped at the entrance.The screeching sound of the brakes echoed through the factor.Then, as everyone w
As soon as Sonny gave the command, six burly men who were holding steel pipes walked out from behind him. All of them looked ferocious as they walked toward Liam.The leader of the group looked vicious, and he said icily, "Kid, how dare to attack the members of Sonny Club? Go to hell!"Upon saying that, he swung the steel pipe at Liam's legs.At that moment, Celena and the workers were hiding inside the factory, looking at Liam's situation nervously through the windows. Celena was shocked after she saw that the thugs were going to hit Liam's legs. She pushed away the workers beside her and wanted to rush out of the factory no matter what.However, as soon as the thugs approached Liam, the crowd saw Liam kick the leader calmly, sending him flying. At a loud thud, the leader knocked over the five thugs behind him.In an instant, all the thugs were wailing miserably.Celena, who wanted to rush out, was stunned after she saw that."Holy shit. Ms. Stone, your husband's combat skill
"My Sonny Club is the top ten organizations in the underworld in the state. As long as you work for me, you'll have endless money to spend and more women than you'll ever have. What do you think?"It was no wonder that Sonny wanted to recruit Liam. It was mainly because he saw how good Liam was at combat. A talent like Liam was what his organization needed the most at that moment. That was why he got the idea of recruiting Liam.As long as Liam was willing to join his organization, Sonny Club would certainly become even more powerful.Sonny was very confident that Liam would agree to join him. There were only a handful of people within the state that Sonny would personally reach out to offer an olive branch. Also, all of the people that Sonny invited in the past felt incredibly honored. Who among the thugs in the state would not want to join the Sonny Club? After all, Sonny Club was incredibly powerful.Most importantly, what people like them valued was to be paid well and have m
Sonny did not even bother denying it. Instead, he sneered and replied, "I didn't expect you to piece everything together so soon, but since you've already figured it out, let me give you a piece of advice, young man—don't even think of going against the Bristows. Mr. Yousef Bristow is the last person you'd ever want as an enemy, so be smart about it and do what you have to. Understood?"Sonny's assistant piped up, a malicious look on his face, "You better keep your toe in line, you little twat, or you're going to wish you were neer born!""Is that so?" Liam snickered, then shrugged nonchalantly as he said, "I've already heard this plenty of times, but somehow everyone who tries to keep me in check always ends up doing rather poorly. If you don't believe me, why don't you try for yourself?"The thugs all gasped at this, unable to believe their ears. Even Sonny's expression had turned from one of malice to horror. However, a few seconds later, fury washed over him as he spat, "Very we
"Since you have a death wish, I'll gladly help you fulfill it!" All of a sudden, a thunderous bang echoed through the room. A hole had appeared smack dab in the middle of the thug's forehead, whose mouth was still open in a silent scream. A split second later, his limp, lifeless body fell backward and landed in a pool of his own blood. A sniper had materialized at the window of the neighboring building, his eye against the scope of his sniper rifle. He sneered and muttered to himself, "What a bunch of f*cking idiots. He asked for it!"Meanwhile, the rest of the thugs stood, slack-jawed, staring at their dead companion on the ground. Sonny's smile had frozen on his face. He had been prepared to watch Liam meet his end but was so stunned by what had happened that his hand began to tremble.His… his men had been assassinated?There was a sniper on the loose!Sonny's head snapped up to stare at Liam in horror. He was about to ask Liam why he had a gun when all of a sudden, thundero
However, Andy was a smooth talker, so the eldest member of the Drayton family liked him. Because of that, the head of the family tolerated him. That was why Andy, who was just a member of the branch family, dared to be so cocky.Andy saw Howard standing at the side from the corner of his eye as he spoke. He thought of what Howard said earlier, and that made his blood boil.He pointed at Howard and bellowed, "Uncle Derrick, this Howard is trash as well. You have no idea. I told him I was a member of the Drayton family, yet he did not take our family seriously at all."Not only did he have his men capture me, but he said cockily that he wanted to lock me up forever, and nobody could stop him."Weren't you very cocky before this, Mr. Mosier? Go on. Continue acting cocky in front of my uncle now. Detain me and lock me up forever."Andy took a couple of steps closer to Howard as he said that. He extended his hands arrogantly and said, "Come on. I have my hands stretched out for you. Hu
Soon, Andy and the thugs from the nightclub yesterday were released.Andy saw Derrick standing at the entrance of the police headquarters at a glance. He got so excited that he shouted, "Uncle Derrick! Uncle Derrick!"Fletcher's subordinates were incredibly excited to see Derrick as well. All of them shouted, "Mr. Derrick Drayton!"One of the subordinates was in Drunham City because Derrick arranged for him to be there. After he was brought to Derrick's side, he smiled apologetically and said, "Thank you for saving me, sir. Don't worry. Fletcher's faction and properties are all here. I'll be able to rebuild the faction here very soon."In other words, even if Fletcher was out of the picture, he would be able to thrive in Drunham City and replace Fletcher.However, Derrick shot an icy glare at him and sneered. "Hmph! How shameless of you to say that? There are so many of you, yet you can't deal with a small loser who only married into the Stone family."If it wasn't because this w
Howard did not expect that the Drayton family would have a connection with the Carter family. They could even produce a token from the Carter family."Mr. Derrick Drayton, I didn't expect that your family and the Carters go way back. You even got the Carter family's token out," said Howard.Derrick sneered and said, "Enough with the nonsense. Howard, my family did the Carter family a favor back then, that's why the general of the Carter family gave this token to us. He promised us that we could take out this token if we were ever in a bind in the future, and they would help us!"I'm taking out this token today to tell you that I'm going to bail Andy out of here. I'd like to see who in Drunham City has the guts to stop me!"Howard was stunned, and then he fell silent.He did not think that Derrick would take out a token from the Carter family.The Carter family was the top family in Mirstone. Nobody in Mirstone would dare to go against the Carter family. Derrick became even more
Meanwhile, Derrick and his men were already at the entrance of the police headquarters.Derrick's eyes were burning with rage as he looked at the door that was shut tightly. A sneer appeared on his lips as he said, "Hmph. Looks like they already know I'm coming, so they are deliberately trying to assert dominance."Then, he asked his driver next to him, "Where are our men? Have they all arrived?"The driver nodded and said, "They're here, Mr. Derrick. They are all waiting at the side. We'll tear down the main door to the police headquarters once you give the command."Derrick nodded with satisfaction. Then, he shouted at the police headquarters, "Howard! You're just the chief of the police headquarters! How dare you lock me outside?""I'd like to see how powerful you are today, Howard! Come on, guys. Take it down!"At his command, a group of burly men rushed out of the black van next to him. They were all holding thick bats, and they rushed up to the door ferociously.Right at t
At first, Yafe and the rest of the Stone family were stunned after they heard what Liam said. Then, they all burst out laughing.Yafe looked at Liam with a mocking gaze and said, "Are you kidding me, Liam? You're going to get the Draytons to come and apologize in person? Come on, that's the Drayton family we're talking about! Do you think they are just some nobody?"Right now, I don't want to waste my breath anymore. As long as you're able to stop the Drayton family from targeting us, I'm more than grateful. Don't you forget that you're the one who wanted to leave the Stone family? So, stop dragging us into your mess."Liam shot the crowd with an icy glare and brought Celena out of the Stone Mansion.Celena was still in a slight daze after they got into the car. Liam put on her safety belt for her and asked, "What's the matter, dear? Are you still worried about the Draytons?"Celena nodded and replied, "Yes. After all, all these were caused by the conflict between Andy and us. Jus
Liam wanted to ask what the family heirloom was, but he had no choice but to let it be after he heard what Yonatan said.However, Liam heard Yonatan's voice again, saying, "I've never seen that thing, but I heard from the Drayton family members that it was from a big shot in the military."The military?Liam's eyebrows furrowed once he heard it had something to do with the military. Then, he kicked Yonatan away, making him land next to the thugs.Yonatan passed out because of that kick.Once the thugs saw their leader was out cold, they took a couple of steps back in fear.However, Liam did not care about them at all. He looked at Yafe and the others instead.Once the Stone family members saw that they were out of the woods, they became cocky again.Yafe and Sherah, in particular, were so cocky that they ran up to Liam and condemned him, "Look what you've done! You're bad luck! What else can you do other than cause us trouble? Do you know who that is? He is from the Drayton fam
Yonatan was infuriated and bellowed, "So this is how you're going to play! Alright! I'm not going to stop until I kill you today!"Yonatan was radiating an intense desire to battle. That was the air exuded by a fighter of Fourth Order War King caliber.The Stone family was so frightened by the air he exuded that their faces turned pale. All of them took more than ten steps back in fear, afraid they would be injured by mistake.Yonatan clenched his fist and charged at Liam like a ferocious beast. His fist was packing so much power that it created a sonic boom, cutting through the air and going for Liam's face.The punch was so powerful that it could kill a bull right away.The Stone family thought Liam was going to die. Nobody would be able to survive a punch like that.Yonatan thought the same. He was very confident in his ability. He looked into Liam and knew he used to be a soldier, as well as a good fighter. However, so what?No matter how skilled Liam was in combat, could he
The moment Liam stepped into view, the Stone family members lit up as if they had spotted their guardian angel. They pointed at him, their voices rising in a chorus of relief and accusation. "Mr. Yonatan, look over here! It's Liam! I said they weren't with us!""Exactly! Mr. Yonatan, see for yourself, Liam's not part of our family!""Mr. Yonatan, now that Liam's here, if you're looking to pin the blame on someone, he's your man!""Liam, you actually showed up. If you hadn't crossed the Drayton family, would we, the Stones, have ever been dragged into this mess?""Liam, Celena, you two are nothing but trouble. You've left the family, so why keep stirring the pot for us?"...The air crackled with the Stone family's collective outrage, their faces twisted in anger as if they were ready to rip Liam and Celena to shreds.Celena and Liam's arrival was pure happenstance. They were just in the neighborhood to check in on an old friend when they overheard Yonatan's boastful taunts.Lia
Yonatan did not even bother to look at him. He checked his watch with a chilling laugh and said, "You've got ten minutes for Liam to show up. Don't say I didn't warn you."The words sent a wave of shock through Yafe and the rest of the Stone family, who stared at Yonatan, panic-stricken.Yafe was a mess, desperate to explain, but the sight of Yonatan's henchmen, eager and ready for a fight, stopped him dead in his tracks."Mr. Yonatan, I swear it's the truth. Liam has nothing to do with the Stone family anymore. You've made a mistake!"Yafe's face was flushed with urgency as he tried to convince the unmoved man."It's true, Mr. Yonatan! Liam and Celena were kicked out of the Stone family ages ago.""That's right! He's got nothing to do with us anymore. If you're after Liam, go to the villa at Emerald Lake. He's there, not here with us.""Mr. Yonatan, if you head over to Drunham City and ask anyone, they'll tell you the same thing: Liam and Celena have no ties to us Stones anymor
