Liam turned to look at Thora. After he saw that she was worried and anxious that he eased up on being intimidating.Liam then ignored Xora and sat on the couch again, picking up and flipping through the magazine again calmly.Xora was infuriated by Liam's attitude. She glared at Liam and Thora ferociously and threatened through gritted teeth, "I'll remember what happened today! Liam, Thora, just wait and see! I definitely won't let you off the hook! "Especially you, Thora. You're just an insignificant staff, yet you have the guts to make me apologize to you. I'll have ways to deal with you as long as you're still in the office!"In an instant, all eyes were on Liam and Thora.Some of them felt sorry for them, some were gloating, and some were upset with Xora.Many of the staff in the office started to discuss softly. Those who were gloating thought that Liam was simply asking for trouble. Everyone in the company knew about Xora and Ivar's relationship. Nobody had the guts to off
Before the crowd resumed working, Sunniva's assistant, Holly, appeared at the door in a rush.As soon as Holly appeared, she attracted the attention of the male staff members of the marketing department. Holly was pretty, had a good figure, and was capable. She was the ideal lover for many of the men in the company.Holly immediately found Liam. Her cheeks turned rosy as soon as she saw Liam.She walked up to Liam with her face flushed and said softly, "Liam, Ms. Bristow is looking for you. She wants to see you in her office."Liam looked up at Holly. Her cheeks got even redder as soon as his gaze met hers, and she quickly hung her head, turning her gaze away."Alright. I got it. I'll head over now," Liam replied. He tossed the magazine on the table and followed Holly to Sunniva's office.The room was abuzz with passionate discussion as soon as Liam and Holly left."What the hell is going on? Ms. Bristow is looking for Liam as soon as Xora leaves. Could Ms. Bristow be trying to
"You're the general manager of this company. Are you just going let a woman like Xora continue staying her?" Liam asked Sunniva in return with a frown.Sunniva sighed. She walked up to her desk and put her cup of coffee down. Then, she sternly told Liam, "It's not as simple as you think. "Ivar is transferred to Drunham City from the headquarters. He was personally appointed by Yankel's mother, and he's her distant relative. There's only one purpose for him to be transferred here—to stage a coup and replace me."You are my bodyguard, and you've offended both Ivar and Xora at this juncture. That is very disadvantageous to me. Do you understand what I mean?"Liam immediately understood what she meant. He frowned, and the air he exuded changed drastically as he asked, "About Yankel, is the Bristow family not planning to stop?"Sunniva could feel the change in the air Liam exuded. As soon as she turned to look at Liam, she was stunned by the cold and aggressive air that he was giving
After Liam left the office, Sunniva turned around and watched Liam's back with her mind filled with confusion. Who the hell was he?How could a bodyguard give off such a powerful gaze and might so casually? He was just like such an almighty powerful person that people could not help but wish to worship and submit to him.However, if he was so powerful, why would he be willing to hide in a small city like Drunham City and be a bodyguard to Sunniva?Sunniva's mind got messier the more she thought about it. She quickly shook her head, dispelling all the messy speculations that were in her head.At that moment, there were plenty of things for her to be worried about.Sunniva took a deep breath before she returned to her desk to handle the matters regarding their collaboration with the Jade Lotus Pharma Group.Meanwhile, Jameson was in the office of the general manager at the Jade Lotus Pharma Group. He was furious as he swiped all the files off his desk and smashed a few of the decor
Ivar was a little surprised as well. He knew how well Jameson could hold his liquor. He was a little unconvinced by this excuse. "Who is he? He could hold his liquor better than you do?"Jameson was famous for having a high alcohol tolerance. He was great at drinking. Who was it who made Jameson drunk?Jameson gritted his teeth and said, "Who else could it be? It's Sunniva's bodyguard, Liam!"Ivar flew into a rage at the mention of Liam's name. He cursed, "Fuck, why is it him again? Alright. Alright. I don't want to hear any nonsense anymore. You better remember what you promised me. You better get this right. Otherwise, all the deals we agreed upon before this will be off the table!"Upon saying that, Ivar hung up the call.Hearing that all of the deals he made with Ivar would be off the table, Jameson became anxious and shouted, "Don't, Mr. Nicoson. Let's talk it over!"However, what he got in response was a busy tone after Ivar hung up the call.The anger that Jameson forced
Liam's eyes lit up as well as he saw how Corie looked. He had to admit that Corie was truly very pretty. In the era where people often get work done on their faces, it was rare to have a classic beauty like Corie.Corie was very beautiful and mesmerizing, but Liam only had two glances at her at the very beginning. He stopped looking at her after that.To Liam, no woman could hold a candle to how beautiful Celena was.As Thora watched Corie walking over, she was mesmerized and said, "Gosh! She's too pretty!"While Thora was still drooling over Corie, Corie already came up to her. After she heard what Thora said, she smiled and said, "Thank you. You're very pretty too."It was only then Liam regained his senses. He looked at Corie with slight confusion and asked, "Dr. Doyle, is there something you want from me?"Corie became a little displeased, but she did not let it show on her face. She put on an appropriate smile and reminded him, saying, "Have you forgotten? We've agreed this
Soon, Liam and Corie came to the roadside. As Thora and the other colleagues watched intently, Liam got into Corie's sports car.Both of them arrived at a restaurant very soon. None of them said anything after they sat at the table.Seeing that the mood was getting a little awkward and he wanted to leave sooner, Liam was the first to speak, saying, "Dr. Doyle, I wonder why you want to see me today."Corie put on an adorable smile and replied, "Nothing much. I just wanted to treat you to a meal."Liam raised an eyebrow upon hearing that. Women like Corie had plenty of men pursuing her. If she had nothing she wanted from Liam, why would she look for him herself?"Since that's the case, I have some other matters to take care of, so I'm going to get going," Liam said with a smile, ready to leave.Seeing that Liam wanted to leave, Corie immediately became anxious. She immediately stood up, stopping Liam by pulling him back."Hey, don't be in a hurry to leave. Let's just have dinner f
The legendary Dr. Jensen could be considered as Liam's mentor. Most of Liam's medical skills were taught by Dr. Jensen.The few elders of the Master Healers Society could also be considered as half mentors to Liam as well.It was also true that Liam was not a member of the Master Healers Society. There was nothing wrong with him saying that.Corie got so worked up upon hearing Liam's words that she stood up and asked, "What? Your mentor gave it to you. Who's your mentor? Where is he now? Can you take me to your mentor?"Core was incredibly excited. The pill that Liam took out was able to bring a person back to life. It was a miracle pill. Corie wanted to visit the legendary doctor no matter what.Liam had a headache upon hearing that. He did not expect that Corie would be that excited. He thought about it with a frown before he said while looking troubled, "I'm sorry, Dr. Doyle. My mentor is out traveling the world. He has also asked me not to disclose his whereabouts, so-"Corie
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
