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
"Mr. West, eh? You're Leon West's nephew?" Liam asked. Sonny, naively thinking that Liam was intimidated by the mention of his uncle, squeezed out a rather grotesque-looking sneer and shouted, staring venomously at Liam. "Indeed! My uncle is the great Mr. Leon West! Once my uncle hears of what you did to me, he will hunt you down and make sure you meet your sticky end! Just you wait! I'm going to make sure he breaks every bone in your legs one by one, so you can feel the same excruciating pain!"Sonny paused, panting in agony as he tried to stifle the pain. He was well aware of his uncle's reputation—Leon West was one of the most notorious martial artists in the capital. Even the most successful and influential people in the capital feared him!Liam, on the other hand, was nothing more than a measly good-for-nothing. He would not even dream of crossing someone like Mr. West, not even in his wildest dreams!Sonny noticed the way Liam's expression flickered and added spitefully, "Ju
Owing to his reputation as a fearsome martial artist, not many would dare to challenge him!Sonny's entire face lit up as though he had finally found his saving grace. He wiped the tears from his face and cried out, "Come quick, Uncle Leon! He's not afraid of you at all! He even told me that you would never have the guts to come… Please save me, Uncle Leon! Both of my legs were shot, and I'm paralyzed now. You have to come quick…"Leon was so furious to hear this that he leaped up, scathing, "Who dares lay a finger on you? Clearly he has no idea who he messed with! Where are you now, Sonny? I'll go over right this instant!"Sonny was sobbing at this point. "Uncle Leon, I'm at the Nirvana Factory. Come quick…""You hold on just for a little longer, Sonny. I'll be there soon! I'm going to teach him a lesson for messing with my nephew!"With that, he slammed the phone down and quickly got dressed with the help of his escorts. Then he turned to his second-in-command and barked, "Gathe
"You borrowed them?" Celena echoed in confusion.Liam quickly explained, "Yes. These people showed up here to cause trouble and ended up destroying some of the equipment that had been taken from the military factories, so the military won't let them get away with this. Don't you worry—I've got it taken care of. I'm sure the ambulance will be here soon, so all you need to do is tend to the injured."Right on mark, blaring sirens sounded from the front of the building. Celena simply tossed him a quick "be careful!" before tottering away again to lead the paramedics into the factory. Together they brought the injured workers into the ambulance to be sent to the hospital.Not long after, a few black cars pulled up at the factory entrance. A car door was flung open, and Leon stepped out, dressed in a white martial arts uniform. He furrowed his brows when he laid eyes on the factory. About thirty or forty of his apprentices stepped out of the cars behind him, and together, they ambled i
Leon's eyes were as wide as saucers when he realized who he was speaking to. The rest of his sentence seemed to have gotten lodged in his throat. He stood, frozen in place, and began to break out in cold sweats, especially when Liam scanned him up and down. He could feel his legs beginning to give out, and his entire body was shaking at this point.Sonny, however, did not notice his uncle's visible fear and instead pointed at Liam, seething, "Uncle Leon, you're finally here! It's him! He was the one who did this to me! You have to avenge me, Uncle Leon! Break his legs right now, and that'll teach him not to mess with me!"What happened next, however, came as a shock to everyone, including Sonny. The next moment, the color had drained from Leon's eyes, and he fell to his knees before Liam, trembling. "Mr… Mr. Cole, fancy seeing you here! If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have dared to show my face here…" he stammered.Everyone's jaw dropped at this. This was the legendary Mr. W
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
