Liam came up to the young man. It was not obvious when they were standing apart. However, once they were standing together, it was unexpected that Liam was much taller than him.The young man could not help but take a few steps back after he was overpowered by Liam's height and formidable might. Looking at Liam in fear, he asked, "What are you trying to do?"However, what he received in response was a tight slap.The young man was dazed by the slap, and he was not the only one. Everyone in the private room was stunned.As the crowd watched in shock, Liam pulled his hand back calmly and said to the man, "How dare you spew nonsense? He can be saved since I said so. Who do you think you are? How dare you doubt me?"Liam refuted the young man, who cupped his burning face as he glared at Liam, refusing to admit defeat.At that moment, Liam was exuding a sharp and intimidating might. His gaze was so frosty that everyone felt the temperature in the room drop.The young man was stunned
Liam handed the pill to Jason and said with a smile, "Feed this pill to Colonel Johansson with warm water. I promise that he'll wake up within a minute."Everybody's eyes widened in disbelief as soon as they heard him. All of them could not stop staring at the black pill in Liam's hand.Was he telling the truth? Could that peanut-sized pill truly be as miraculous as he claimed it to be?Jason stared at the pill, looking hesitant.The pill had a scent of herbs, but Jason did not take this matter lightly. What if Jared's condition did not improve after they fed him the pill but got worse instead?Jason did not dare to take the risk as Jared's safety was at stake. That was because he could not bear the consequences at all. Corie initially thought Liam was a medical practitioner after she saw the way he checked Jared's pulse. However, after Liam took out the pill and said it could wake Jared up in one minute, Corie thought Liam did not know how to practice medicine at all and was ju
Everyone knew that Jared was getting up there in age, so they did not dare raise a toast to him too much. What they did not expect was for him to suddenly faint in the middle of the dinner after he only had a few drinks. Jared was someone incredibly special. He was a highly decorated veteran who received the Medal of Honor from the king. If anything were to happen to Jared while they were dining with him, everyone at the scene would be held responsible. It would not be something as simple as personnel transfers then. It might turn the whole state upside down.Seeing that everyone was berating Liam, the young man who was slapped by him earlier finally could not take it any longer. He pushed through the crowd and came to the front. Ever since he was slapped earlier, he held a grudge against Liam."Dude, you're a joker, aren't you? Do you know who Colonel Johansson is? You said you could save him with this pill that came out of nowhere. You're joking, aren't you?"Once he was d
Even though Corie could pick up the smell of expensive herbs from the pill in Liam's hand, she shook her head in response to the question directed at her. She was also unsure of whether or not the pill would be effective for Jared. She also could not fully figure out Liam's background. Corie made her judgment known by saying, "Mr. Jackman and Mr. Leal, based on the fragrance emitted from the pill, it is evident that there are quite a lot of expensive medicinal herbs in it. However, I am also unsure about whether or not this pill would be effective for Colonel Johansson. Perhaps it could be useful."Jason and Justin exchanged a look as if they had come to a decision. There was not much time left, Jared's condition may worsen if they delayed any further, so they might as well trust Liam this one time. Jason looked toward Justin and nodded slightly. Justin responded with a nod as well. Then, Jason gritted his teeth and grabbed the pill from Liam's hand. He said, "Feed this to C
Liam shot a frosty look at that young man. He also desperately wanted to throw the young man out the window.Liam hated people like him who kept appearing to gain attention, and it looked like the slap just now was not enough to teach him a lesson. Seeing that Liam was looking at him, the young man let out an exaggerated laugh. He was gloating as he said, "Dude, listen up, you are in big trouble now. Do you know that? Do you know who Colonel Johansson is? He is—"However, before the young man could finish his sentence, there was suddenly a piercing cry of exclamation in the private room! "Oh God!! Colonel Johansson is awake! Guys, look! He is awake!" In an instant, everyone in the private room looked at Jared with excitement as he gradually woke up.And the young man who was gloating just a while ago immediately looked shocked and muttered in disbelief, "What? Colonel Johansson is awake? How could this be? Didn't Dr. Doyle say that there was nothing she could do anymore? He wa
How was it possible that a critically ill person whose life was endangered could stand up energetically within a minute after taking Liam's pill?Jared did not look like a man who was almost dead earlier.He was looking in good health at that moment, and his breathing was steady. His body was in better shape than the average person among his peers at that moment, let alone those with chronic illnesses.While Corie was filled with shock, she started to become curious about Liam's true identity. She was not the only one whose curiosity was piqued. Everyone else in the private room, except for the few who were concerned about Jared's condition, were all looking at Liam curiously as he sipped on his coffee calmly. They thought that he was a drunkard who came to create trouble. They did not expect that he could save Jared.While Corie was trying to figure out Liam's true identity, an idea suddenly popped into her head. Thinking of the pill he took out earlier, she wondered if he was
They had all witnessed, with their own two eyes, the sight of Jared on his deathbed just a few minutes prior, and yet all it took was a simple pill for him to not only be rejuvenated from the jowls of death, but given a new life!Jared immediately leaped to his feet, agile as though he had turned back the clock to become twenty years younger, and crooned, "Dr. Doyle, what did you just say? Did I hear you say that—that I can live another ten years?"He was so astounded by this that he could not even stop himself from stuttering, and no one could blame his excitement. Although Jared had, by this age, accepted that he had led a long and fulfilled life, one could never resist the temptation of another decade on this earth. How could one say no to more time to spend with loved ones and to explore the world?Not to mention that Jared had been an accomplished veteran in his youth, but this came with a dangerous price—as a result of his career, he had sustained many old injuries that tended
Liam helped Jared stand up straight, after which the two of them exchanged some friendly small talk. It was during this brief conversation that Jared discovered just how sensible this young man was. If he had come across someone like Liam while he was still serving in the military, he would have recruited him in an instant. Liam and Jared exchanged contacts, after which Liam finally returned to his room. To his surprise, Sunniva was nowhere to be found. She had already left but had assigned a waiter to pass on a message to Liam about where she had gone. Liam promptly left the hotel and was about to make his way home when a group of seven or eight uniformed cops cornered him at the hotel entrance. The man in the front, presumably their leader, was rather plump and square-jawed. His cold, beady eyes were fixated on Liam as he barked, "Are you Liam Cole? We've been waiting for you. Seize him!""Yes, sergeant!"Two of the cops immediately lumbered toward Liam with handcuffs janglin
