The terrifying air that Liam was exuding made Darion's legs shake uncontrollably.Darion was extremely regretful at that moment. Why did he offend such a terrifying man? He was so strong that he knocked out Darion's men all by himself within half a minute.Darion watched with his eyes widened as Liam walked over to him, taking one step at a time. Liam looked like he was the Grim Reaper, and he made Darion feel completely frozen.Liam was exuding a terrifying air as he looked at Darion with a sharp gaze and asked with a smile, "Darion, it's my turn to ask you. What do you think about what I just said?"Liam had a faint smile as he spoke. He was smiling, but the smile sent a chill down Darion's spine.Darion was almost in tears. His face was as white as a sheet. His forehead was covered in sweat. He was shaking as he said, "I-I was wrong, sir. I'm sorry. I was too blind. I've offended you. There's no need for me to think anymore. I'll get the hell out of here now!"Darion was extre
Liam did not like Vincent one bit at all since he repeatedly pissed him off.Liam turned to look at Vincent, who was still in a daze, and asked icily, "Have you made up your mind yet?"Vincent was frozen. His face flushed at the thought of Darion and the others crawling out of the restaurant while hugging their heads.He did not wish to be embarrassed in front of Corie at all, but when he thought of how skillful Liam was when he beat up Darion's men, he felt scared.He glanced at Corie, and then he firmed up his mind. He gritted his teeth, got on all fours, and crawled out of the restaurant like Darion did while everyone watched.Corie was shocked to see Vincent doing that. She did not expect it at all that Vincent would truly crawl out of the restaurant.It was after Vincent was no longer in sight at the restaurant that Corie recovered from the shock.She looked into Liam's information and learned that he was the bodyguard of the general manager of the Bristow Group. She also k
Both Corie and Liam were stunned after those words left Corie's mouth.Liam did not expect that Corie would be so direct. Feeling a little helpless, he reminded her by saying, "Dr. Doyle, I'm married."Liam would not be able to hold himself back and would steal a few glances at a beautiful woman like Corie, but he was not the kind of man who would be tempted by lust. That was why he reminded her about his marital status after Corie said things that would cause a misunderstanding.Corie realized she said something a little misleading, so her cheeks became even more flushed. She quickly shook her head and explained, "Don't misunderstand. I didn't mean it that way. I was just—just—In any case, it doesn't mean anything like that. Forget it. I have something else to take care of. I'm going to leave now. I'll contact you again."Corie had no idea how to explain herself. After she said that, she frantically ran out of the restaurant with her face as red as a tomato.It was too embarrassi
Celena looked back and saw Liam looking at her gently. Both of them were enveloped by an indescribable mood.Suddenly, the mood became a little more flighty."Really?" Celena was interested. She turned to look at Liam, but she suddenly thought of something, and the excitement on her face disappeared.Shaking her head, she said with disappointment, "Forget it. I've got too many things to take care of at work. I can't be away at all right now. Besides, if I were to take time off to enjoy myself now, Cheryl and the others would use it as an excuse to criticize me."Besides, other than rushing the project for Max Group, we have the collaboration project with Mr. Miller as well, which is going to start soon. There's just too many things to handle." Celena got a headache at the thought of all that. However, since she mentioned Mr. Miller, she asked solemnly, "Oh yes, Liam. Mr. Miller has helped me so many times in the past. Do you think I should buy him a meal to thank him?""Huh?" Li
After Celena started having dinner, Liam said he wanted to go for a smoke, and then he grabbed his phone and went to the front yard. It was after he sent a text that he lit a cigarette and took his time to smoke it.Celena was having dinner when her phone on the couch suddenly rang.Once Celena saw the number that was calling, she picked it up without hesitation. After the person on the phone said a few words, Celena thanked him in excitement."Alright. Thank you very much," said Celena.The person on the other end of the phone hung up the call after saying a few more things.Celena still could not recover from the excitement even though a long time passed.By the time Liam returned to the living room, he saw Celena standing in front of the dining table, holding her phone in exhilaration.Celena immediately walked up to Liam after she saw him. She grabbed Liam's arm in excitement and said, "Liam, guess what? Mr. Miller just said yes!"Liam smiled and acted just as excited as
Celena was too stunned for words. Her father never spared her so much as a second glance before this, so one could understand how taken aback she was by this abrupt change in attitude. Not only did he approach her willingly, but even spared her a smile when talking to her. Celena would never have imagined such a thing could happen, not even in a million years.Despite her initial shock, she still nodded, looking rather bewildered, and replied, "He, he's inside."Yafe's smile widened at this, and without another word, he circled past Celena to enter the house. Sherah and Qemal both followed suit, with Sherah even pausing to scoff haughtily at Celena as she passed.Celena decided that her work could wait—she was far more concerned about her family's sudden appearance and was secretly worried that they were here to harm Liam. Without missing a beat, she turned around and followed them into the house.Meanwhile, Liam just strode out of the bedroom, carrying Jovie in his arms, when he c
"Mr. Stone wants you to lend a helping hand by persuading Mr. Gibson to drop all of Wasyl's charges so that he can be released." Sherah said all of this with such arrogance, as though she expected Liam to feel honored to be given such an opportunity to prove himself.Liam, however, scowled upon hearing this, and his expression turned cold as he gazed at Sherah incredulously.Sherah, however, seemed oblivious to this and instead went on pompously, her arms crossed in front of her chest, "Liam, I do hope you will realize the urgency of this situation. Wasyl and Cheryl's wedding is coming up soon, and how can the wedding go on with the groom still stuck in jail? Surely you must know how important it is for you to speak to Mr. Gibson and get this straightened out."We've already sent out the invitations, and what will happen if the day of the wedding comes and the groom is nowhere to be found? Cheryl will become the laughingstock of the town!"It was at this point that Sherah suddenly
Trying his very best to quell his resentment of Liam, Yafe plastered a smile on his face and said, "Liam, please take no notice of her. She's just a little agitated. My father is incredibly worried about the two issues that we have brought up and wishes that they be resolved as soon as possible. Cheryl and Wasyl's wedding is to be held on the twenty-eighth of this month, and we have already sent out invitations to all of the rich and famous here in Drunham City. You wouldn't want our family to become the laughingstock of the town when no groom shows up for the wedding, would you?"To Yafe's horror, Liam showed no inclination to care about this at all. His expression was impassive as he shot back, "What does the Stones' public humiliation have anything to do with me?"The smile froze on Yafe's face. Both Sherah and Qemal seemed equally aghast to hear this. Sherah stepped forward, and, upon noticing Celena cowering in a corner of the room, turned her attention to Celena and snapped,
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
