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
Chase froze at this, momentarily caught off guard. However, after a few seconds, he regained his composure and scoffed, "Enough! I'll be the judge of who's guilty! Are you trying to accuse us of defaming and arresting an innocent citizen for no reason? I will not tolerate any more of your riffraff! Please come with us, sir, or I'm afraid I will have no choice but to employ more drastic measures!"Chase and Liam's argument had caused such a commotion that a crowd had gathered around them, consisting mostly of passersby and guests who had emerged from the hotel. Chase, however, was not bothered by the attention, for he had already alerted the hotel manager of his mission. Not to mention that this area had been under his supervision for years, and thus he was not at all worried about the citizens reporting him. He knew full well that neither of them would dare to mess with a cop!An ordinary citizen like Liam stood no chance against a cop like him!All he needed to do was get Liam to
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
