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
The sight of the boxing champ being hurled through the air was utterly staggering, especially the thunderous crash of Vilmos slamming into the stone pillar—a sound that still seemed to reverberate in his ears.If a tough guy like the champ could not handle a single move from Liam, what chance did they have?That thought sent waves of panic through Forrest. He jolted out of his stupor, glancing at Vilmos sprawled in a crimson pool, then at Liam, untouched. Forrest's instincts screamed at him to bolt.However, as he took his first step to flee, Liam casually flicked a machete from the ground. It zipped past Forrest's leg and with a resounding clang, stuck quivering in the floorboards.Liam's voice, icy and spectral, cut through the silence, "Who said you could leave?"Forrest's legs buckled, and he crumpled to the ground, a shameful stain spreading beneath him. His face was ghostly white, sweat streaming down his brow.He was terrified, convinced for a split second that his leg was
Liam sneered and put his hand down upon hearing Zane's words. Looking at him with disdain, Liam asked, "What are you talking about, Mr. Long? You want me to have mercy on you?"Zane was so frightened that he was trembling all over. As soon as he heard Liam's words, he dropped to his knees and begged for forgiveness, "I was wrong. I know that very well now. I shouldn't have spewed all that nonsense. I shouldn't have pulled such a despicable trick to set Sunniva up. "I truly know that it was my fault. You're a generous person. Please spare me. I'll give you money as long as you let me go. Alright?"Zane was truly terrified at that moment. He had no idea Liam was so strong. It was no wonder that Sunniva hired him to be her bodyguard. He was able to kill Vilmos, the Ironfist, in seconds, much less an ordinary folk like Zane. Killing him would be a piece of cake for Liam.At that moment, Zane no longer had the arrogance he had from earlier. He was on his knees, his face was red and swo
Liam stood in place calmly after he crippled Zane, holding the bloody dagger that was emitting a frosty glint, staring at Zane who was in excruciating pain."If the Swanton family from the capital is unhappy about this, they can come and look for me in Drunham City. I'll be waiting for them."How cocky and domineering of Liam!Forrest and the other thugs gasped, feeling incredibly terrified. They did not even dare to breathe loudly as they were afraid that they would piss off the Devil that was Liam.Forrest was left trembling in fear after he saw how violently Liam crippled Zane. He quickly crawled to a corner, doing his best to make himself unnoticeable.Just as he got up, he sensed a sharp gaze landing on himself. He turned around and saw Liam looking at him frostily, and then Liam walked up to him.Forrest was so frightened that he froze up. Then, he put on an incredibly fawning smile and crawled up to Liam.Yes, it was true. Forrest was no longer as cocky as before anymore.
Forrest and the subordinates were all stunned by the sight of so many soldiers who suddenly appeared.What the hell was going on? Why were there so many soldiers?While everybody watched in shock, Calum cut through the crowd with two soldiers and came straight to Liam. He was incredibly respectful as he bowed his head and whispered to Liam.Liam nodded and replied, "Alright. Take all of them away."Calum then detained Forrest, Zane, and all of the others and brought them into the military trucks.Soon, all the people at the entrance to the hotel were taken away. The mess on the floor was cleaned up at the speed of lightning as well. Everybody was gone within three minutes.Even though the entrance was cleaned up, it was still in a mess. A dense bloody stench was still lingering in the air.It was after everybody was gone that Sunniva let out a big sigh of relief and looked at Liam with a complicated gaze.Liam knew that Sunniva was frightened by what happened that night, so he
