Celena became anxious again at the thought of the factory. She immediately struggled to get out of bed, saying anxiously, "Where's Mr. Yale? I have to go look for him and ask him about the factory. We can't afford any more delays."However, as soon as Celena sat up, her body gave up, and she fell toward Liam.Liam was looking at her with concern. Once he saw that she was about to fall, he quickly held her in his arms to protect her. Because of that, Celena ran into Liam's arms, and both of them fell on the bed with Celena lying on top of Liam. Having Celena in his arms, smelling her refreshing scent, and feeling her soft figure pressing tightly against his made Liam feel incredibly satisfied.He was thinking that his wife smelled great and her body was so soft.Seeing that Celena was still struggling to get up, Liam snapped back to reality and held Celena tightly with both his arms."Honey, calm down. Leave the factory to me. You were so tired to the point that you fainted. Th
A mysterious smile appeared on Dylan's face as he said, "Alright."After the call ended, Dylan grabbed the baseball cap and put it on his head, covering his face entirely. Then, he opened the door and was out of the apartment.Five minutes later, Tristan and his assistant, as well as his bodyguards, escorted Liam and Celena out of Drunham City Connoisseurs.It was after they walked out of the building that Celena finally felt a sense of relief. That was because the closure order imposed on the factory was retracted, and it was Tristan—the president of The Connoisseurs—who gave the order. She was no longer worried that some other issues would pop up.Celena took a deep breath and said, "Alright. The issue for the factory is finally resolved. Liam, you may head home first. I'll head back to the factory to share the news with them."Liam nodded and replied with a smile, "Alright. Be careful. You have to remember to take a break. Oh yes, what would you like for dinner? I'll go to the
Before Celena could shout for help, the man hit Celena on the back of her neck. Celena fainted before she could even figure out what happened.Seeing that Celena collapsed, the man in black slowly lifted his cap, revealing his face that was covered in scars. He was the assassin named Dylan who was in the apartment earlier.A wicked grin appeared on Dylan's face as he looked at Celena, who was on the ground in front of him. In a cold voice, he said, "I'm quite surprised that the target this time is just a powerless woman. It's too easy."Dylan also noticed Celena's gorgeous face and slender figure, and he instantly put on a sinister smile. He put Celena over his shoulder and said in a husky voice, "Hmph. This woman is quite pretty. That's a great look and a great body. What a rare beauty. Once the loser Liam is taken care of, I'll be able to have a taste of you. Hahaha."Dylan immediately carried Celena out of the industrial area. Soon, he arrived in a dim and cold room, and he thre
Liam's smile was instantly replaced by a strong desire to murder. Every fiber of his being was exuding a frosty air. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he asked frostily, "Who are you?""It doesn't matter who I am. There's something else that's more interesting right now. I noticed a photo in your wife's phone."He paused before he continued, "Haha. Your daughter is so adorable. She's studying at Guiding Star School, isn't she? Why don't we play a game? I'm going to look for your daughter now. It's all up to your luck whether you can pick her up before I do. Hahaha."The man let out a peal of arrogant laughter upon saying that. In the next second, he hung up the call.Liam was seeing red. He was filled with such an intense desire to murder that it overwhelmed everyone present. It made all the farmers, who were making a scene, look at Liam in shock.Sunniva was so frightened that her face turned a little pale. She quickly looked back at Liam, who was standing nearby with
Lara was stunned as she held the phone in the school. She looked at her phone, and then she looked at Jovie, who was playing games and having fun with a few other children. Lara was confused."What's up with Mr. Cole?" Lara muttered before she put her phone away and walked toward Jovie with a smile.Liam would be coming to the school soon.…Dylan, who was in black clothes and a baseball cap, was standing at the bus stop across Guiding Star School, looking at the gate with a vicious gaze and a wicked smile. His smile became even more terrifying, especially when he was looking at a child who was playing a game.At that moment, all of the children were having outdoor activities. They were all in small groups and playing the games that their teacher taught them. Jovie was one of the children.Dylan looked at the person in the photo on the phone, and then he looked at those children, looking for his target among them. Finally, his vicious gaze landed on Jovie.He found it. She was h
Celena and Jovie were where he drew the line. Laying a finger on them was worse than laying a finger on him.That was why he was exuding a desire to murder, even though he was forcing himself to hold back his anger.The desire for bloodshed that he showed without even realizing it made Dylan feel incredibly excited, so much so that he believed Liam was a strong man with the ability of at least a Third Order War King.If Liam truly had the intent to kill, the desire he exuded alone would be enough to kill Dylan in seconds.Liam rubbed Jovie's head and handed her to Lara after giving Lara some instructions."Ms. Lara, please keep this in mind. I'll pick Jovie up after school. Don't let anybody take Jovie away but me," Liam said sternly.He immediately rushed out of the school, got into the car, and sped off toward the mountain in the suburbs of Western Precinct."Alright. Don't worry, Mr. Cole—"Lara wanted to talk to Liam a little longer, but he was already gone. Lara could only
"I'm right here! Let go of my wife right now!" he shouted. Then, he turned to glance at Celena, who was kneeling on the ground with her hands bound behind her. With a pained expression, he said gently, "Don't worry, Celena. I'm right here, so there's nothing to be scared of anymore. I'll get you out of here."Celena's entire body was shaking with fear and panic. Tears welled in her eyes as she shook her head fervently at Liam. "No, Liam! Listen to me—you need to get out of here… Get out of here immediately! This man is more powerful than you think! I don't want anything to happen to you…"Celena was well aware of the fact that her kidnapper had taken her specifically with the intention to lure Liam into his trap. Although she knew that Liam was a great martial artist, she would not even dream of putting Liam in danger, knowing what this man was capable of. Liam, however, shot her a reassuring look but ignored her requests. Instead, he turned to stare at Dylan with a malicious glint
Liam then raised his fist in a counterattack position, bracing himself for Dylan's strike. Unlike Dylan's attack, Liam did not put a single effort into his defense at all, as though he was just blocking an ordinary punch. Dylan sneered at the sight of this, certain that victory was near, and declared valiantly, "Feel my wrath!"The next moment, a thundering crunch echoed through the air as the two men's fists connected, but at the same time, the smile froze on Dylan's face, and his entire body was soon overcome by alarm and terror.This was because the moment his fist had connected with Liam's, he had felt an excruciating pain shoot through the length of his arm all the way up to his shoulder, as though his hand had struck a piece of indestructible rock!The next moment, a spine-raising sound followed—the crack of his bones as they shattered, with Dylan watching on in horror as the bones of his forearm were smashed into smithereens!"Ahhhhh—" a bloodcurdling scream escaped from h
