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
It was already very late after Liam left the hotel, so he hailed a cab and returned home.After he got home, he realized Celena already had dinner prepared, and both Celena and Jovie were waiting for him on the couch to have dinner with him.Seeing both of them playing on the couch and also the delicious food on the table made Liam feel warm and fuzzy inside.It was a long time since he felt he had a family ever since the Cole family was destroyed. All the warmth he felt at that moment was brought to him by Celena and Jovie, and he felt incredibly happy.Jovie waited for Liam, glancing outside the door from time to time. Once she saw that Liam returned, she immediately ran up to him with excitement, jumping into his arms with a big grin.In an adorable voice, Jovie said, "Daddy, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"Liam smiled gently and carried Jovie in his arms. Looking at Jovie's adorable face, he kissed her on the cheek."I missed you very much too, Jovie. That's w
Liam was feeling incredibly nervous. Seeing Celena so upset made him panic. He immediately put Jovie down and explained anxiously, "Celena, I-I didn't. I didn't cheat on you. It's an accident that the smell of the perfume rubbed off on me by accident."I attended a dinner with Ms. Bristow today. I took her back to her hotel after dinner and came home after walking her to the door to her room. Believe me. I swear I didn't do anything. Don't be angry, alright."Seeing Liam in this state amused Celena. She had a long face but could not hold herself back anymore. Covering her mouth as she snickered, she said, "Alright. Calm down. I believe you. Hurry up and wash your hands. Let's have dinner. The food is all cold now."Celena walked toward the dining table smiling and served up a bowl of soup for Liam. Realizing that he was standing in place, she frowned and pretended to be angry, saying, "What are you still waiting for? Are you not going to have dinner?"Jovie covered her mouth and ch
Celena quickly shook her head and said, "No need for that. I just wanted to ask if you're free to watch Jovie at home. I think Cheryl just wanted me to pick out a dress with her."Liam said nothing else. He could tell that Celena was not in a good mood. She looked disappointed.Celena hid it very well, but Liam could still tell what was on her mind at a glance.She suffered too much for him, but she never talked about it. She simply kept it all to herself and consoled herself at every turn instead.Her disappointment and the way she held it all back made Liam feel heartbroken. He swore to himself that he had to be good to Celena in the future.Then, he pretended that everything was fine, put some salad on Celena's plate with a smile, and said, "Alright. I'll let you go with her tomorrow then. You can take the chance to check it out and see if there's any wedding dress that you like. You can pick one out yourself or give me a call and I'll come over to pick one out with you."Cele
Celena quickly pulled her hands out of Liam's palm. She pretended to be angry and glared at Liam before she said, "Hurry up and eat."Not only was her glare not frightening, but the bashful gaze made her look extra alluring. Liam gulped in silence after he saw that. He knew Celena was feeling shy, so he did not dare to say anything else anymore. Otherwise, she might just stop having her dinner.The family of three finished their dinner while love was in the air. After dinner, Celena helped Jovie take a bath while Liam said he was going for a smile in the yard. However, he called Calum instead after he got to the yard."Look for the most famous bridal boutique in the world and prepare the most precious and unique wedding dress for Celena. I want her to wear the prettiest wedding dress on the twenty-eighth as she marries me with blessings from the entire nation."Mmhmm. Alright. Do as you see fit. Call me immediately if there's any problem," said Liam. Calum was not shocked at al
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
