Thinking of the fact that Liam lied to her, Corie glared at him viciously.Meanwhile, Marshall was heartbroken and furious as he looked at the state his son was in. Glaring at his wife and Xavier, he growled, "Shut the hell up, both of you! Do my words hold no power anymore? Mr. Cole is an important guest that I've invited. He's here to save my father. I won't hold back if anybody dares to offend Mr. Cole."He quickly turned to Liam and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cole. My son doesn't know any better and has offended you. I apologize to you on his behalf. My father's situation is urgent, so please first save him. I'll make this brat apologize to you properly later."Liam did not give them too much of a hard time. He just hummed calmly. At a quick twist of his wrist, a silver needle appeared between his fingers again. He waved his hand at Xavier's neck, and Xavier immediately stopped laughing uncontrollably and started coughing violently instead.Xavier laughed too hard earlier. Other tha
Everyone held their breath and waited for about ten minutes, and then they saw Liam slowly remove all the needles from Henry's body.Liam glanced at Henry's face and smiled, and then he said, "It's all done. Henry is fine now."Marshall was so nervous that he was clenching his fists tight. He looked at Henry, whose eyes were still shut, and asked in confusion, "A-all done? My father's fine now? But he-"As he spoke, he pointed at Henry, who was still unconscious.He was very humble in front of Liam, but he did not believe him blindly. If Liam could not save Henry, but he lied and made them miss the golden hour to save him, Marshall would make Liam pay.Right at that moment, someone from the corner exclaimed, "Quick! Look! He's awake! This is great! Henry's awake!"As soon as the person said that, everyone in the room looked toward Henry in excitement.Marshall was so thrilled that he rushed to the couch. He looked at Henry and shouted, "Dad! You're finally awake! You've scared t
Liam held the expensive and lavish black card and said with a smile, "You're too kind. I must save the dying and heal the wounded."The black card was very rare and was something countless people would kill for. However, it was nothing special to Liam. As the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors, Liam had many properties. He was never very interested in materialistic things. However, to avoid having unnecessary trouble, he accepted the card. If he did not accept anything, the Yates family would probably suspect even more that he had an ulterior motive.Marshall was a little surprised as well. He did not think that Henry would give Liam this card, but he did not have any opinions about it. "Just accept it. This is a limited edition card that was issued in conjunction with the anniversary of our company. As long as you have this card, you can frequent any of the properties under the Yates Group free of charge in the future."Marshal explained the usage of the black card
Corie had no choice but to give up after she heard what Liam said. After she bid Liam goodbye, she left The Royal Terrace Restaurant with Yennifer.It was after Liam watched the two beautiful ladies leave that he let out a sigh of relief and got ready to head home.As soon as Liam turned around, he sensed an unusual gaze staring at him from behind. Liam did not even need to think to figure out what was going on.Liam pretended not to know and made a call as he stood by the street. Then, he got into a cab.Right as his cab drove off, the engine of a black vehicle that was parked across the restaurant started, and it followed Liam's cab.Kaison was sitting in the car. His broken hand was already in a cast. He was staring in the cab in front of him with a ferocious expression."Damn you, Liam. Tonight, I'll make sure you regret everything you've done!" Kaison said through gritted teeth, clenching his other fist so tight that his knuckles popped.He was looking at the cab ahead of h
Liam did not ask to be dropped off at home and instead ordered the driver to bring him to Peak Street, one of the most renowned red light districts in the Northern District of Drunham City.The streets had changed drastically the moment the car turned onto Peak Street, with pubs, bars, strip clubs, and massage parlors lining both sides of the narrow avenue. Peak Street was one of the most happening places in Drunham City at night, but there was a stark difference from the laid back nightlife that could be found in other parts of the city. Peak Street was a watershed area that did not fall under any of the Drunham City council's reign, and thus, it had developed into a rowdy, lawless area quite out of the government's control.Neon lights twinkled at Liam from all directions, and there were throes of raunchy women dressed in skimpy clothing standing on either side of the street. Groups of teenagers and gangsters stumbled out of pubs, most of them inebriated and flirted incessantly wit
Liam stood his guard but kept sneering as his eyes darted to Kaison's bandaged wrist, taunting.Kaison was beyond outraged to hear this. He glared at Liam with a twisted look and snarled, "You're going to regret this, Liam Cole! No one has ever messed with Kaison Nasso and gotten away with it! By the time I'm done with you, you're going to wish you never met me!"You broke my wrist, and I'm going to break all four of your limbs in return! You'll be on your knees, begging for mercy soon!" Kaison sneered as he said this. Clearly, he was very confident in Grant's capabilities and seemed to already be able to imagine Liam's gruesome fate after Grant was through with him!Liam dug a finger into his ear, evidently taunting Kaison for his lack of creative threats. Then, with a smirk, he replied, "All you rich people seem to have the same weakness, Mr. Nasso, you blabber too much! Not to mention you've been reusing the same threats on me over and over… Can't you come up with something new
Grant could not help but feel a little annoyed by Liam's attitude, but he did not showcase his displeasure and merely continued to scowl at Liam. "You're the first one who's ever looked so calm while facing me, you twat."He sneered, then cracked his knuckles and lunged straight toward Liam, cocking his fists. The speed at which he launched himself toward Liam was so swift that one could barely react. Coupled with Grant's sheer size and power, Liam was, without a doubt, no match for him at all, and Grant was certain he would triumph.All of a sudden, a lilting voice rang out behind them, "Do my eyes deceive me? Is that who I think it is? Grant? What are you doing here? Have you gotten released?"Both Grant and Kaison froze, then turned around to see a Darion swaggering toward them, dragging a foot-long steel bar alongside him. With a smirk, he approached Kaison and slung an arm around his shoulder like they were the best of friends.At the same time, thirty or so thugs showed up, f
"When did you get out, Grant? Why haven't I heard from you? If you had told me you were here, my mates and I would have welcomed you back!" Darion said, smiling. Grant could tell that Darion was here to help Liam and thus felt no need to continue wasting his time with pointless small talk. He said, "Darion, I know what you're here for, so I'll cut straight to the chase. You can have this twat, but only after I'm through with him."As he said this, he glanced at Liam with a malicious glint in his eyes, and the air around him seemed to crackle with electricity. The smile faltered from Darion's face, and he scowled. "Just because I showed you kindness, Grant, doesn't mean I'm scared of you. For old times' sake, I'd like to offer you a piece of advice—stay out of this. You have no idea what you're getting yourself into. Drunham City isn't the place it used to be years ago anymore."What he was trying to say was that the days of Grant's reign were over. Grant's expression turned cold,
