"It's much easier now since you know him. Tell him immediately to come to Drunham City. I have something to ask him. Also, tell him I'll personally go to Peace Stone Town to 'invite' him if he doesn't come."Liam's voice was so frosty that Eaden could sense it over the phone, especially when Liam said the word "invite". That made Eaden shudder."Yes, Mr. Cole. I'll notify him immediately. I'll make sure he gets the message."It was after Liam hung up the call that Eaden wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, letting out a sigh of relief. He worked for Liam for a long time, but he would still feel petrified every time he spoke to Liam on the phone.The subordinate next to him got curious after seeing the state that he was in, so he asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Wafer? Who was it who called that got you so frightened?"Eaden put away his phone, glanced at the subordinate, and asked, "Trey, how long have you been working for me?""It's been almost ten years," Trey answered respe
Yaniv glanced at his phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number from Drunham City. He could not help but frown.Drunham City.Yaniv gave it a thought and answered the call, speaking with great arrogance, "Hello, who are you?"A deep, icy voice came from the other end of the call, saying, "It's me."Yaniv shuddered upon hearing the voice that was slightly familiar to him. He thought he had it wrong. He immediately straightened his back, pushing away the woman in his arms and looking solemn.After he fell silent for a few seconds, Yaniv tried to probe and asked, "Mr. Wafer?"Eaden sneered and said icily, "I'm surprised you still remember who I am."Yaniv sneered as well. He had a ferocious gaze in his eyes as he looked at his right hand which was holding the glass and his index and middle finger that was severed."Of course, I'd remember. I can't forget who you are, Mr. Wafer. You're the most powerful man among the mafias of Drunham City. Besides, it's all thanks to you that
Yaniv's subordinates held their breath after they saw the anger their boss had. Yaniv's business partners looked at each other, not having a clue about what happened.One of the heavyset business partners was the first to speak. He asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Rogers? Who is the idiot who dares to piss you off so badly?""That's right, Mr. Rogers. Who the hell is that? How dare he? He must have a death wish. Tell us who it is and we'll bring our crew to kill him!""Tell us who the hell it is, Mr. Rogers. We'll charge at him right away!""That's right. Anybody who dares to offend you simply has a death wish! Since he's done with living, we'll grant his wish!""Yeah! We'll teach him a lesson and seek justice for you!"Yaniv's anger did not subside at all upon hearing what his subordinates and business partners said. He let out a sneer and said, "Hmph! I think you're the ones who have a death wish. He's Eaden, the most powerful mafia boss in Drunham City, the legendary Mr. Wafer
"I agree! You're in Peace Stone Town now. So what if he rules Drunham City? He has no business meddling in matters in Peace Stone Town!""Don't ever compromise, Mr. Rogers. Otherwise, Eaden would think that you're a pushover.""They're right! We're in the mafias. We've offended so many people. Who does Eaden think he is? What gives him the right to ask you to go to Drunham City?"Everyone in the private room was furious. They were all cursing at Eaden with righteous indignation for being a bully.Yaniv gripped the glass with his right hand tightly. His eyes were filled with a vicious gaze as he looked at his two severed fingers. Finally, he took a deep breath, knocked back his drink in one breath, and smashed the glass on the floor.Yaniv's face was filled with rage and hostility as he shouted, "All of you are right. Who the hell does Eaden think he is? I'm no longer his subordinate, so who is he to order me around?"I'm in Peace Stone Town while he is in Drunham City. We don't h
"Ah! Help! I was wrong! Don't shoot! Hold your fire!""Help! My leg! Ahh!""Yaniv, save me! Hurry!"Yaniv was stunned silly the moment the gun was fired.While everyone watched in horror, another tall figure exuding a formidable might appeared at the door.It was Calum. He was dressed in a black suit, exuding a terrifying air all over him. His gaze was so frosty that nobody dared to look at him at all.Calum glanced at the people in the room icily and shouted, "Which one of you is Yaniv Rogers?"Yaniv was so frightened that he was already on his knees. After he heard Calum's question, he stood up slowly while trembling, holding his head on his head, and replied, "I-I am Yaniv Rogers. I wonder how I can help you, sir."Calum's frosty gaze landed on Yaniv, and then he walked up to him.In the next second, he kicked Yaniv on his chest, sending him flying before crashing into a wine cabinet about four meters away.Yaniv let out a groan after he knocked over the cabinet and landed
Those soldiers in full tactical gear immediately stepped forward and detained Yaniv and the others.It was after Yaniv felt the cold handcuffs on his wrist that he remembered Eaden calling him to remind him that he offended a powerful big shot.The realization came too late for Yaniv. Meanwhile, he put all of the blame on Kaiden.Yaniv bellowed in his mind, 'Damn you, Kaiden. I'll keep this in mind. Just wait. I won't spare you once I get through this!'However, no matter how furious he felt, he still behaved himself as he was put into a military jeep.The engines were quickly started, and they all returned to Drunham City.…After Kaiden spent the night instigating and stirring things up with all his might, Xareny rushed to the Stone Mansion with Kyros and Melaine in fury early in the morning the following day. They wanted to seek justice for Kaiden.Of course, Kaiden followed along. He went to the hospital yesterday. The injuries on his back were not severe at all. It just lo
Yafe's anger grew stronger after Cheryl fanned the flames. He slammed on the coffee table again and shouted angrily, "This is outrageous!"Sherah was incensed as well, and she bellowed, "Cheryl's right! Liam's trouble. We shouldn't have agreed to let him stay with Celena."Sherah turned to Melaine and said loudly, "Melaine, this has nothing to do with the Stone family. It's all Liam's fault. You should go after Liam instead. Don't come at us. We have no clue about what happened."Cheryl was a little surprised that Sherah did not talk badly about Celena with her. She tugged at Sherah's sleeve angrily and said with a slight annoyance, "Mom, why aren't you talking bad about Celena with me?"Sherah could tell that Cheryl was upset. She leaned closer to Cheryl and whispered, "Listen to me, Cheryl."It was after both of them whispered to each other for a while that Cheryl looked less upset.Cheryl straightened her back and said, "Xareny, I believe you know very well that this has nothi
Celena did not realize what was going on at all. She simply stood in a daze, letting Xareny slap her.However, Liam frowned and grabbed Xareny's arm. His voice was frosty as he said, "I didn't hold you responsible the last time, yet you want to do it again? Don't push your luck!"Liam's gaze was so cold and the air he exuded was so frosty that Xareny felt a chill down her spine.She shuddered and took a couple of steps back in fear. Her voice was shaking as she asked, "Liam, wh-what do you want to do? You've beaten up my fiance, and now you want to beat me up? We're here to seek justice for Kaiden. You must give us an explanation today!"Kaiden was no longer as weak as he was before after he saw what happened. He rushed forward to push Liam away and shielded Xareny behind his back.Kaiden glared at Liam furiously and taunted Liam cockily, "Liam, don't be too cocky! Not only have you beaten me up, but want to beat my woman up? "Listen up! Don't even think about bullying my girlfr
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
