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
Chase was beginning to panic. He had thought it would be a breeze capturing an ordinary citizen like Liam, but who would have thought this man would turn out to be such a piece of work?He had received orders from Jameson to capture Liam on account of what had happened that afternoon at Bristow Group, and in return he would be given thirty thousand dollars as a reward!Chase was no stranger to acts of bribery. He had been corrupt for years now, and he would be willing to do anything for thirty thousand dollars!Seeing as the crowd surrounding them was growing larger by the minute, Chase began to panic and, in his desperation, decided to threaten Liam in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Listen, you twat! You better do as I say and follow us back to the police station for the interrogation, or else! I'm the sergeant in charge of this area, and quite frankly, the last person you'd want to offend. Just you wait—if you don't listen to me, I'll make you regret it!"This, no
The thought of this sent another simpering smile creeping across Chase's face. "Mr. Leal, let me introduce myself. My name is Chase Lowell, and I'm the sergeant in charge of this area," he said.Nevertheless, Justin took no notice of his desperate attempts to catch his attention at all, and he merely glanced at him impassively before saying, "Chase, what on earth is going on here? I can hear the commotion from inside the building! The lot of you are still wearing your uniforms, so don't you dare embarrass us with your riffraff! You represent the entire squad!"Justin glanced around and soon caught sight of Liam standing amidst them. It did not take him long to put two and two together. Chase, however, was entirely oblivious to this and instead stupidly assumed that Justin was showing interest in his responsibilities. Eager to prove his usefulness to the team, he puffed out his chest and replied, "Mr. Leal, we're trying to arrest a rabble-rouser here, but don't you worry, everything
This, of course, shocked Chase greatly, for he never counted on the possibility of Liam being on first-name basis with the chief of police himself!The color had drained from his face, and he could feel the horror coursing through his veins. Nevertheless, he was determined to get an answer and so plucked up the courage to ask, "Mr. Leal, do you know him?"Just summoning the courage to ask this question had terrified Chase so much that he had broken out in cold sweats, but Justin's reply made his stomach sink right to the bottoms of his feet.Justin shot Liam a knowing grin and replied, "Of course I do. He's a truly brilliant healer and had just saved Colonel Johansson's life! Even Colonel Johansson is incredibly pleased with him. I find it difficult to believe that he could've been involved in a brawl, Mr. Lowell, so are you absolutely sure you've gotten to the bottom of this case?"Chase felt his blood run cold. This man had saved Colonel Johansson's life? He could hardly beli
