However, it was over in a flash. The would-be attackers did not even get within striking distance of Liam before they were flung aside like ragdolls, hitting the ground hard. Only then did the onlookers notice the deadly dents in their chests. They were dead before they hit the dirt.That show of raw power sent a wave of fear through the remaining thugs who had thought about jumping into the fray.Forrest, in particular, was beside himself with rage and madness. He brandished his machete and bellowed as he lunged at Liam, "What are you waiting for? Get him! Take him down!!"However, Forrest's charge was cut short as Liam effortlessly sidestepped and sent him crashing to the ground with a swift kick. Forrest's machete clattered away, and in the blink of an eye, Liam snatched it from the air, the icy blade then resting under Forrest's chin.A trickle of blood seeped from where the blade nicked Forrest's neck, slowly staining his skin.Frozen in shock, Forrest had not even processed
Zane was shocked watching Forrest grovel like that. He had never imagined that Liam, who he thought was just a leeching bodyguard, could be so powerful. He had sent a small army to take Liam down, only for Liam to knock them out cold, without even breaking a sweat.What did that mean? It meant Liam had not even shown his true power yet.The thought sent a chill down Zane's spine as he glared at Liam, icy and furious, who was casually holding Sunniva in his arms.That damn woman!He had bent over backward for her, and she had never given him the time of day. Then, there she was, letting some no-good bodyguard hold her close, giggling and blushing like a schoolgirl.What a piece of work!Zane was seething with jealousy, his gaze at Liam darkening with each passing moment. Recalling Liam's recent display of power, Zane could not help but smirk cruelly as he glanced at the Ironfist Vilmos, who was lounging in the back of his car. With Vilmos as his ace in the hole, Zane's fear of Lia
In front of Sunniva, Zane caught himself retreating and stiffened, quickly adopting an angry stance. He glared at Liam and demanded, "What are you trying to pull?"Liam did not bother with a reply. Instead, he asked icily, "You're Mr Zane Long from Majestic Times Group, right?"At that, Zane's expression twisted with irritation. Liam's demeanor irked him, especially the way his hand was possessively around Sunniva's waist.A steely glint flashed in Zane's eyes as he retorted, "Does it matter whether I am or not?"Zane finished speaking and shot Liam a defiant look, his eyebrows arching in a silent challenge that screamed, 'What are you gonna do about it?'Maybe it was the presence of Vilmos that made Zane so cocky, like Liam was nothing to worry about.Liam just snorted, a chilling edge to his voice as he said, "No big deal. I just want to have a word with you, Mr. Long. All this drama tonight is your handiwork, right, Mr. Long?" At that, Zane just laughed, a frigid, mocking soun
Sunniva had always held feelings for Liam, but with his family in the picture, she kept her feelings locked away. That was until Zane ripped the lid off her secret with a few careless words that she just snapped. She stormed up to him and delivered a stinging slap across his cheek.Her face flushed with a mix of rage and shame, her body quivering ever so slightly. She had been caught out, and it stung."Zip it, Zane! Don't drag us through the mud. Liam and I are nothing but friends, so cut the crap!" Sunniva shouted, her voice thick with anger.Zane, hand clutched to his cheek in shock, glared at Sunniva with wide, furious eyes. "You hit me!? You think I can't see what's going on? The way you look at him... I'd never believe you're not into him, not in a million years!"He saw her body tense up, a sure sign he had struck a nerve. A twisted grin spread across his face as he taunted, "Now that I know what kind of woman you are, I won't hold back. I'll have you in my bed before you kn
Zane, watching Sunniva's silence stretch on, grew smug, convinced she would not dare cross him. His smirk widened as he scoffed, "Think it over, Sunniva. You don't want to know what happens when you cross me..."However, hey, I'm not all that bad. Just come back with me tonight, keep me company, and we'll forget all about this little mishap. Our companies can keep their collaboration, and I might even throw in a little extra profit for you."He added one more stipulation, his eyes fixed on Liam, "However, he has to stay behind!"Zane had invested too much in winning Sunniva over, assuming that after tonight's setup, she would be his. Liam's unexpected interference was a wrench in his plans he could not ignore. There was no way Zane would let Liam walk away without a fight.Zane's confidence was sky-high, and for good reason. In the backseat of the car behind him sat none other than Vilmos, the reigning boxing champ. Liam might have some moves but against a beast like Vilmos? No cha
No sooner had he spoken than the car door behind him was kicked open with a resounding thud. Ironfist Vilmos stepped out, radiating a chilling menace that made everyone's blood run frigid. A single glance from him was enough to suffocate and intimidate.Vilmos, the towering Lotus Kingdom Ironfist, stood head and shoulders above the already tall Liam.His body was sculpted from years of Iron Lotus Boxing and underground fights, his muscles as defined as any Hollywood action star's.He was a force to be reckoned with, and his mere presence as he emerged from the car sent a wave of awe through the onlookers, signaling the arrival of a true powerhouse.Vilmos, the Ironfist legend, stepped out of the car and strode toward Zane, an aura of danger radiating from him. His face was a mask of malice, and with each step, an invisible weight seemed to press down on everyone around.The buzz at the hotel entrance died down, leaving a heavy silence hanging in the air.The tough guys who had be
A new thought struck Zane, and his voice twisted with rage, "No! Vilmos, breaks the kid's limbs first. I want to make him suffer! He's going to learn what happens when he messes with me!" He sneered, "Think you can mess with my plans? I'll make you pay, and not just you—I'll go after your wife and kids too!" His voice dripped with malice as he continued, "I've heard your wife is a real beauty. Don't worry, once I'm done with you, I'll make sure you get a front-row seat to watch me with her." A sinister laugh spread across Zane's face as he pointed at Liam, his roar filled with unbridled anger.Vilmos stood next to Zane, an intimidating presence, his eyes icy as they fixed on Liam. His language was rough around the edges, but his message was clear and chilling. "Kid, I'll give it to you, you've got some skills. However, against me? You're out of your league. If I step in, you wouldn't stand a chance. Here's your shot—take yourself out of the game, break your own arms! Otherwise, I'll d
Vilmos had chosen that move on purpose. He was fueled by Liam's overbearing arrogance and his blatant disregard for Vilmos's prowess.He was set on that one move, a move that would not only crush Liam but also send a shockwave through the crowd. He was going to make it crystal clear to Liam the chasm that lay between their strengths.Above all, he was a wanted man in several nations, and he had to cement his standing in Biskeland to survive.He was still looking for a haven in Biskeland, and once he had firmly established himself, the rest would be a breeze.Vilmos's technique was nothing short of formidable. As he struck, Zane, Forrest, and the hired muscle could only gape in awe.No wonder they called him the undefeated Ironfist, Vilmos!His speed was blinding! That raw, explosive power was downright bone-chilling!Naturally, the more formidable Vilmos proved to be, the more Zane and Forrest's hearts raced with excitement, their gazes on Liam icy and menacing.What did it mat
