Kaison, ever the gracious one, gestured dismissively. "Let it go, we all know he's just a bodyguard. Why stoop to his level? We're here for Ms. Engel's party—let's keep it civil for her sake."Kaison's actions effortlessly charmed the room full of trust-fund kids with a wave of flattery and applause. With Kaison's words hanging in the air, the rich kid had no choice but to back down, shooting Liam a venomous look. "You got lucky this time, kid," he sneered. "If Mr. Nasso wasn't so generous and above petty squabbles, you wouldn't be walking away so easily next time." Qasim, with a similarly menacing stare, added, "Watch yourself, boy. If you keep up that cocky attitude, I'll make sure you can't even set foot in Drunham City again!" Then, leading by example, Kaison raised his glass to signal a toast, grinning as he addressed the crowd. "Let's all raise a glass to thank Ms. Engel for her warm invitation. And I hear it's her birthday today—happy birthday, Ms. Engel! May you always s
If Kaison were not a little serious about Corie if he were to act according to his personality in the past, and if he were in the state, he would not have gone through so much trouble. He would have someone kidnap Corie and put her on his bed.She was nothing but a woman. It was her blessing that he took a fancy to her. How dare she embarrass him in this way!It was for Liam's sake that Corie did not lose her temper and kept holding back her anger. However, she did not expect that Kaison would have the guts to provoke her.She could no longer hold herself back anymore.Just as she was about to stand up and argue back, Liam grabbed her arm. Corie was taken aback, and she stared at Liam in confusion.After Liam glanced at her, he turned to look at Kaison with a bone-chilling gaze. His voice was frosty as he said, "Mr. Nasso, right? Who are you to demand respect? Why should she save you the embarrassment? Do you not know how to read the room? "Can't you tell that Ms. Doyle does not
Kaison was looking sullen and glaring at Liam viciously. After Liam provoked him repeatedly, he no longer wished to hold himself back anymore. His voice was cold as he said, "Liam, don't go overboard. I forgive you before this because of Corie, but that doesn't mean you can disrespect me. If you don't want to die, get on your knees and apologize to me right now. I can spare you if you do that. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"He clenched his fists so tight as he spoke that his knuckles popped. All of his muscles were pumped up as well.Kaison was different from those skinny trust-fund kids. Kaison was trained in combat, and he was quite skilled. Not only did the Nasso family have a company in the state, but Kaison's uncle, Rain Nasso, had a martial arts school as well. The Nasso Martial Arts School was one of the best in the state. Other than Rain, who had the skill of a one-star Military King, there were three other experts with the standard of War Kings holding th
Meanwhile, the air Kaison exuded became more and more formidable. His fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles kept popping.Right as Liam was about to approach him, Kaison suddenly moved, letting out a growl as he aimed his punch furiously at Liam's face."Go to hell, kid!"His punch was packed with great force. If it landed on Liam's face, it would certainly break his nose.All of the trust-fund kids in the room were gloating, waiting to see Liam being knocked out miserably by Kaison.Corie and Yennifer, on the other hand, were watching Liam's back with great concern, clenching their fists tightly.Kaison sneered ferociously. He was incredibly confident with his punch. He was as if he could already see Liam being knocked out by his punch.However, Liam was still standing in place calmly, unfazed by Kaison's attack. He did not even bat an eye."Hmph." Vincent sneered after he saw the way Liam acted. He jeered scornfully, "I can't believe you're still trying to act toug
All five of Kaison's fingers on his right hand were broken. The massive impact shattered his wrist bones as well. The pain was so excruciating that he immediately let out a miserable scream."Ahh!"Kaison held his broken hand, glared at Liam miserably, and bellowed, "Ah! My hand! How dare you break my hand!"Liam was still as calm as ever. He had one hand in his pocket as he stood in place, looking at Kaison indifferently. He even mocked him, saying, "Oh, I thought you'd be great. It seems like you're not that impressive either."Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they watched it all unfold.Wren, Qasim, and also those few trust-fund kids were especially shocked.Kaison was stunned beyond reason. He knew very well how strong he was. He did not expect Liam would be able to deflect his punch so easily.Kaison thought Liam looked extremely weak, yet Liam shattered his fist in a single punch.Kaison was a black belt holder and the
"That's right! You're nothing more than a bodyguard. How dare you attack Mr. Nasso! Aren't you scared that you and your family won't be able to continue staying in Drunham City anymore?""Liam, you're just a bodyguard. If you don't want to die, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Nasso on your knees now! And break one of your arms to make it up to Mr. Nasso! Otherwise, don't even think about walking out of this room!""Yes! Liam, if you're sensible, get on your knees and apologize to Mr. Nasso now! Don't blame us for not showing you mercy otherwise!"As soon as Qasim and the rich kid started speaking up, the other trust-fund kids echoed them, criticizing Liam one by one.Wren regained her senses as well, and she quickly barked at Liam, "Liam! Are you out of your mind? Do you know what you're doing? Is Mr. Nasso someone a mere bodyguard like you can afford to offend? We won't stop you if you have a death wish, but don't get us into trouble!"Wren's words immediately alerted all the trust
Liam stared at Kaison frostily. He had an indifferent smile as he said in a frigid voice, "What do I want to do? I remember telling you just now. I'll forgive your rudeness earlier as long as you apologize to me on your knees. Since you don't want the chance I've given to you, don't blame me for not showing you mercy."As soon as Liam said that indifferently, he gave Kaison a tight slap while others watched in shock, creating a crisp smack.That slap stunned everyone in the private room, especially Qasim and the rich kid, who were standing next to Kaison. Both of them even felt the wind that was created by the slap.Did Liam lose his mind?Nobody expected that Liam would have the guts to hit Kaison again. He even slapped Kaison violently in front of everyone.Wren was so shocked that she was left frozen. After she regained her senses, she screamed in shock, "Liam! Are you crazy? Do you know what the hell you're doing?"Seeing that Liam was ignoring her, Wren took her anger out on
If Liam wanted it, he could just give the word and have the Nasso Group destroyed.Vincent is frightened by Liam's actions, but he becomes interested in watching the drama unfold.He was just waiting to find out more. Liam had the guts to offend Kaison, which meant he also offended both the Nasso Group and the Nasso Martial Arts School. They would certainly come at him.Kaison, on the other hand, was dazed after Liam slapped him. A fresh and red handprint immediately appeared on his face. It was after he felt the burning pain on his cheek that he regained his senses.Kaison held his right hand while the handprint burned bright on his cheek. He glared at Liam furiously and bellowed, "Liam, how dare you hit me? How dare you slap me?"Liam sneered and asked, "So what if I did?"Kaison was fuming and seeing red. He glared at Liam and shouted through gritted teeth, "Alright! This is just perfect! Liam, I won't ever spare you. I'll kill your entire family and make you pay for what you'
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
