Celena was so anxious that her face was flushed. She wanted to say something else, but she hesitated after she saw the guard's expression.Having no choice, she said helplessly, "I'm sorry about it. It's very urgent for me. This will affect my entire factory. Since Mr. Yale is not in at the moment, I'll wait for him at the entrance. Please let me know once he's back. Thank you."Celena said it with great sincerity before quietly moving to the side of the road to wait.She had no other way but to wait. After all, the most urgent matter at hand was not that she had no workers. She had to first take care of the closure notice instead. If the notice was not taken care of, the factory would have to be shut down for two weeks. It would be over for them if that truly happened. The Stone Group would be suffering a massive loss.The guard had nothing else to say since Celena was so polite. He thought of what the person upstairs said earlier, and he let out a sigh as if it could not be hel
"Hahaha."All of them in the office burst out laughing. Hunter, on the other hand, was standing by the window, smiling without joining in the conversation. However, his eyes were fixed on Celena, and the desire in his eyes was getting stronger and stronger.It was true that it was very easy for people to fall for a gorgeous woman like Celena. Hunter was no exception.After all, she was once famous for being the most beautiful woman in Drunham City. It was seven years ago, but that did not change the fact that Celena was truly attractive. Hunter took a huge puff of smoke, pretended to be a gentleman, and asked casually, "Jeremiah, is there such a thing?"Jeremiah put on a lecherous smile and said, "Of course! I've tried the drug myself. I promise it works. Would I recommend it to you if it doesn't work? Haha. Just hang tight. I'll have someone get it from the car right now."Jeremiah called his assistant.A few minutes later, Jeremiah's assistant walked in with a bag of pink pow
Hunter smiled and said, "Ms. Stone, I know why you're here. But you should understand that there's something wrong with Nirvana Factory. We're just doing our jobs according to the rules and regulations."The notice has been issued. You're ordered to close for two weeks to make the rectifications. What you need to do within these two weeks is to improve on what your factory is lacking. Once the two weeks are up, our staff will conduct an inspection. If everything is in order, then the ban placed on your factory will be lifted."Celena became anxious upon hearing that. She quickly explained, "Mr. Yale, could there be some misunderstanding? We have all the relevant certifications. "We have the inspection reports for our machines as well. We have the certificate to prove that our environment is up to standards as well. There's nothing wrong at all. Could there be a mistake with the investigation."Hunter shook his head while smiling. He looked like he was just being professional as he
As Hunter moved his gaze slowly up Celena's legs, he saw her slender waist, and he could not help but gulp.Celena already had a daughter, but she still had a figure that was better than women younger than her. Those fair legs. That slender waist.Hunter was already imagining how Celena would look without any clothes on and being pleasured by him. At the thought of her legs wrapping around his waist, Hunter felt so aroused that he started to breathe heavily.Thinking of that, Hunter put out his cigarette in the ashtray. Then, he walked to the door and checked out the situation outside before quickly locking the door.Hunter stared at Celena's alluring figure as he walked up to her. He took off his jacket and tossed it aside.His eyes were filled with lust as he stared at Celena's gorgeous face. He approached Celena slowly and grabbed her hair to sniff as hard as he could, letting the refreshing scent wash over him.What a great scent.Celena did not wear perfume. She hardly put
Hunter roared so loudly that his voice echoed through the floor. The security and staff of The Connoisseurs heard him and rushed over to check out what was going on.The seven bosses who went to have coffee in the office next door came over after they heard Hunter's voice. They were all stunned when they saw Hunter's face covered in blood.Then, they called out nervously, "What happened, Mr. Yale? Are you alright?"Those seven men rushed into the office after they saw how Hunter looked. Once they got to Hunter's side, they asked anxiously, "Who is the insolent bastard who dared to attack you, Mr. Yale?"Then, they saw Liam, who had his arm wrapped around Celena. All of them were so infuriated that they barked at Liam, "Who the fuck are you? How dare you attack Mr. Yale? Are you trying to get yourself killed?""Who the hell are you, young man? How dare you barge into The Connoisseurs and beat Mr. Yale up so badly? Do you know this is a crime punishable by death?""You dare to beat
Jeremiah was the first to speak, and all the other bosses started berating Liam as well.They thought Liam would be afraid at the mention of Hunter's name. However, they did not expect that Liam was not afraid at all. A mysterious smile appeared on Liam's face instead.With a sinister smile and a frosty gaze, Liam looked at Hunter, who was behind Jeremiah and others and was covered in blood.His voice was icy as he said, "Who am I? I'm Celena's husband. Why do you think I would attack him?"Jeremiah was first taken aback upon hearing Liam's words. However, he put on a disdainful smile and said icily, "Hmph. I thought you were somebody. It turns out you're just the man from the Cole family who fell and a loser who married into the Stone family."Who do you think you are? How dare you cause a scene at The Connoisseurs. I'm warning you. You'd better watch it. Otherwise, you and your wife's family are going to have a hard time."His words were filled with threats and arrogance.That
Hunter was delighted to hear the crowd defending him. He became even more confident.He looked at Liam with an upright and prideful expression and said frostily, "Hurry up and let me go. I've already told you that you were mistaken. Are you still not going to let me go? You'd better let go of my collar. No matter how nice of a person I am, I won't tolerate you provoking me in this way."Also, you have to take responsibility for your actions and apologize to me and my security guards. You have to compensate for their medical expenses as well, but you don't have to pay mine. If you don't apologize and take responsibility, don't even think about walking out of this building!"Not only will you be paying for what you've done, but your wife and the Stone family will have to pay for your actions as well! It's your call."The fear and anxiousness he felt were completely gone after he made the speech. Those feelings were replaced with a sense of arrogance.His eyes were filled with disdai
"Th-then, doesn't that mean Mr. Yale was truly trying to take advantage of Celena? After all, Celena is so attractive. She has a great figure as well. I feel any man would be attracted to her.""The problem is that we don't know what is truly going on, so which side should we take?"At that moment, more and more people were gathered at the door. Other than the staff of The Connoisseurs, there were many bosses and representatives from various major businesses in Drunham City.Hunter screamed in panic in his head after he heard the crowd's murmurs, but he did not let it show. He still looked as if he was wrongfully accused. In the blink of an eye, a new idea popped into his head.Hunter sneered and shouted furiously, "I finally understand now. Both of you are in cahoots with each other, aren't you? I wasn't going to talk about what your wife has done for the sake of her reputation, but I've changed my mind."I've ordered Nirvana Factory to shut down, which was why your wife came to
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
