Kaiden was overwhelmed by fear and anxiety as he kneeled on the ground after he saw that Xareny was gone too. Seeing that Liam and the others were not paying attention to him, he wanted to sneak off.However, just as he got up, he heard Liam's frosty voice, saying, "Did I say you can leave?"Kaiden was so frightened that he was frozen in place.Liam looked at the petrified Kaiden before he glanced at Yaniv and said, "Yaniv, what happened between you and Kaiden is none of my business. You guys can work it out yourselves."Yaniv long wanted to teach Kaiden a lesson. As soon as he heard Liam, he thanked him sincerely and charged at Kaiden, punching him in the face.Kaiden was knocked to the floor by that punch, and he immediately started bleeding out of his nose and mouth. Then, Yaniv grabbed Kaidem by the collar and dragged him out of the living room."How dare you get me in trouble, Kaiden! It's bad luck for you now that you've fallen into my hands!" Yaniv curled his lips ferociou
Hearing Liam's words got Celena smiling bashfully and feeling happy. She nodded and said, "Mmhmm. I got it. Oh yes, I have to head to the office today. There's still a pile of things that are waiting for me to take care of. I'll head to the company now. You should head home first."Liam glanced at the time and nodded. "Alright. Be careful on your way to work."He stood in place until Celena left before he walked back to the cottage.Liam first took care of the house chores once he returned home, and then he worked out in the yard. After he was done with some basic workouts, he did some boxing. It was after he was all soaked in sweat that he returned to the living room to rest on the couch.He was occupied ever since he returned to Drunham City, so he did not have the time to work out properly. He felt he was getting sluggish. It was after he did some boxing and sweated it out that he felt revitalized.Suddenly, his phone on the coffee table rang. Liam grabbed it and saw that it wa
Liam frowned as he was surprised that these men had guns.Also, judging by the tone of the leader, it seemed that Sunniva intended to let Liam join her.Liam fell silent for a few seconds with her eyebrows locked. It was after he glanced at the black car behind the men that he nodded and said, "Alright."He closed the door behind him and followed them into the small black car. Then, they sped off.Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Luxoria Hotel.Liam was brought to the presidential suite on the top floor by two bodyguards in black suits as soon as get out of the car.Once he entered the room, he saw eight bodyguards standing in the room. All of them were filled with a desire to kill and looked intimidating.They were not just ordinary bodyguards but mercenaries, and they were quite skilled. The strongest one among them was at the level of a Second Order War King.Seeing that, Liam raised his eyebrow and thought, 'Well, this is interesting.'There was a middle-aged man in a
Thinking of that got Sunniva feeling anxious. She kicked Liam under the table and whispered, "Liam, are you out of your mind? Don't you know who that man is sitting across from you?"It was only then Liam looked at her and asked calmly, "Who's that?"Sunniva was speechless. She locked her eyebrows in a frown and regretted her decision to have Liam join her.She took a deep breath and continued softly, "Liam, listen up. The man across from you is not somebody you'd want to mess with. He's Forrest Dalton, the head of Mystic Falcon Hall in Drunham City. He's one of the top five most powerful mafia bosses in the city."Other than Eaden, there were four other mafia bosses in Drunham City. Forrest of Mystic Falcon Hall was one of them.Forrest was a cruel person. He was extremely vicious and brutal, even though he always had a smile on his face. He killed many people, so people in the mafia were rather intimidated by him.That was because they could never know when he would want to kil
However, Liam was still acting as if nothing happened. He was still having his lamb casually.He looked at Forrest, who was sullen, and then he looked at Sunniva again. Then, he asked with a smile, "Who is this Mr. Dalton, Ms. Bristow? Do you know him?"Sunniva glared at Liam, signaling him to keep his mouth shut.Forrest was not a person they could mess with, to begin with. He was offended by Liam's behavior as Liam did not take him seriously at all. If he were to take his anger out of Liam, then Sunniva and Liam would probably be the ones to suffer in the end.Liam saw Sunniva glaring at him, so he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said nothing more.Forrest, however, suddenly burst out laughing after he heard what Sunniva said. He looked at Sunniva with a creepy gaze and said, "As expected, you truly are the heiress of the Bristow Group."He got up and came up to Sunniva from behind, putting his hands on Sunniva's shoulders. Then, he leaned closer to Sunniva's shoulder in
"Alright! Just do as you see fit as long as no one is killed."With that, Sunniva moved her gaze toward the scenery outside of the window, no longer paying any attention to the people behind her. Truth be told, Sunniva was unsure why she had so much trust in Liam. Perhaps it was because of Liam's timely rescue every time she was in a pinch. Perhaps it was Liam's gesture of patting her hand lightly after he kicked him when he first arrived. In any case, she had an inexplicable trust in him. She was initially worried and afraid, but at the sight of Liam, all these feelings vanished. Forrest took a glance at Sunniva's perfect and enticing silhouette, and he took a gulp of saliva and let out a smirk. His perverted eyes narrowed as he looked at Liam viciously, "Hey kid, I guess you are the skilled bodyguard that Mr. Long mentioned? "Now that I've seen you, I do find you quite interesting. You're indeed very arrogant. It's just that I'm unsure if your skill could match your arroganc
The bodyguards only regained their senses after Forrest bellowed at them. They quickly regained their composure and rushed toward Liam with their fists at the ready. These were professional mercenaries, and to have their boss get injured under their protection was of utmost humiliation to them! On top of that, they would be in serious trouble once the day was over since Forrest was hurt while he was under their protection. In an instant, the few bodyguards were all enraged, and there was a towering sense of threat in the air.Liam continued to sit calmly in his chair as he watched the guards rush up to him. He was facing them without a single shred of panic on his face.One of the guards who was up at the front had his huge and tightened fist aiming directly at Liam's face in a flash of anger.However, before his fist could even get near Liam, Liam easily grabbed the guard's wrist. The guard was slightly stunned, and before he could react, Liam wrung his wrist ever so slightly
The moment Forrest threatened his family, Liam appeared before him in a swift motion and choked his neck with one arm, lifting him off the ground."I don't care who you are. I'm not the least bit interested in your identity either. All I know is that my responsibility as her bodyguard is to make sure Ms. Bristow is safe. If you dare to lay a finger on Ms. Bristow, then I wouldn't mind killing you right now. Also, I want to remind you once again that the thing I hate the most is when someone threatens my family."Liam's voice was so intimidating that he sounded like he came right from hell. Forrest was someone who was in the mafia for so long and experienced all kinds of scenarios, yet he could not help but feel terrified and his body trembled slightly. As Liam spoke, he tightened his grip around Forrest's neck slightly, suffocating Forrest so much that his face turned from red to purple. Forrest felt a strong sense of deathly threat from Liam's tone of voice. He was certain that
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
