As soon as Graham arrived at the front yard, he saw his students gathered together. They kept retreating while two young men stood in front of them."You guys are quite bold, young men. You had the guts to come to my school to cause trouble. Not only did you kick down my gates, but you injured my student! Do you think we're easy to mess with?"Graham looked at Liam and Joseph with a hostile expression. He had a bone-chilling gaze in his eyes as he sneered and said, "All of you, get them! Teach these two reckless kids a good lesson! If any of you crippled them, I'll take you in as my last protege!"The students who were initially fearful of Liam and Joseph got all psyched up as soon as they heard that.If it was just because they might be able to be Graham's last protege, they would not have been so excited. It was because Graham long announced that his last protege would be the successor of Kingsgate Martial Arts School in the future.Nobody among the students was able to resist s
The faint smirk on Graham's face disappeared after his expression darkened. He exuded a bone-chilling air as he looked at the students wailing on the ground.Then, Graham pushed away the student blocking in front of him and walked to the front yard. He frostily glared at Liam and Joseph and barked, "Who the hell are you guys? Why did you come to Kingsgate Martial Arts School?"Joseph did not answer him. He simply went to the back of Liam."I'm Liam Cole," Liam introduced himself calmly.He was indifferent as he looked into Graham's eyes and continued, "So, you're Graham Lopez?"Graham's expression darkened and his eyebrows furrowed together. He surveyed Liam from head to toe, and then he sneered, "Oh? So, you're Liam? You're here, so it looks like you're the one who helped Celena and the Stone Group. I didn't expect that you'd have it in you."Liam ignored Graham and asked, "Mr. Lopez, why did you do it? Is there a feud going on between us?Graham sneered and said, "We don't hav
What a cocky man Liam was! How dare he say such things in front of Graham himself?Trash? Warm-up?Graham was the owner of Kingsgate Martial Arts School. All the heads of the wealthy families would have to treat him with respect.Hold on! What did he say? Commander?Was Liam, not just a useless man who was married into the Stone family?Graham was filled with rage at that moment. He was a little curious as to why Joseph would address Liam as commander, but his rationality was overridden by rage.He sneered and bellowed ferociously, "Do you guys think this is the park or something? How dare you make small talk here? Anybody can talk big. I'll show you how strong I am in a while!"Upon saying that, he walked to the middle of the front yard. He was wearing a white boxing uniform and was standing with his arms behind his back. Every fiber of his being was exuding a domineering air, which made the students look at him with admiration.With contempt written all over his face, he look
Liam did not care about what the crowd was saying. He simply said calmly, "There's no need to give me a handicap. On the contrary, I'd like to tell you that I'll do whatever you want if you can defeat me in a single move."As soon as Liam said that, Graham's smirk stiffened. His expression was darkened beyond measure. His eyes were burning with rage as he glared at Liam and bellowed, "I have to admit that you're truly very cocky."For so many years, nobody ever dared to talk big in front of me. I was going to give you a chance and spare your life. Since you don't appreciate it and have a death wish, I'm not going to hold back."Exuding a strong desire for murder, Graham clenched his fist and charged at Liam, aiming his rage-filled punch at Liam's face.No one could dodge his punch.A student from a martial arts school would die on the spot after taking that punch, let alone an average person.Graham had a brutal smirk on his face. It was as if he had already seen Liam being sent
At that moment, Graham's face was covered in blood, looking like a hot mess as he lay in the rubble. His arm was bent strangely, but what was most terrifying was that Graham's chest had a dent.Graham's eyes widened in disbelief as he lay in the rubble.He was defeated in one move.It was then Graham understood how strong and terrifying Liam was. Graham deeply regretted his impulsiveness earlier.Liam glanced at the students who were all dumbstruck, and then he walked up to Graham, who was on the ground."Who's behind this?" Liam's gaze was frigid as he looked down at Graham's face which was covered in blood.Graham opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, he threw up another mouthful of blood and coughed violently. It took him a long while to catch his breath."Hmph! Every field has its rules. I absolutely won't betray the person who hired me. Do you want to know who's behind this? Dream on," said Graham, throwing up blood violently at the same time. Then, he let ou
"Please be the bigger person and spare us, sir. We have families to support. I'll be at your beck and call if you're willing to spare me."The remaining 30 or so students of Kingsgate Martial Arts School were all on their knees, begging for mercy in tears. They were afraid Liam and Joseph would kill all of them in a fit of anger.However, Liam ignored all of them and left with Joseph.By the time Liam arrived at the police station where the special investigation team was, Celena happened to be released. The other people who were involved were also released.Celena was frightened after going through all that. She was forcing herself to remain calm, but after she walked out of the police station, she saw Liam standing at the entrance. She immediately broke down.She felt an urge to cry and tears welled up in her eyes. She dashed toward Liam, throwing herself into his arms, and started crying. She released all of her grievances and fears by turning them into tears."Liam, I didn't u
Then, Liam grabbed his silver needles and pierced them into a few places on Celena's body. It was only then Celena's eyebrows which were tightly furrowed finally relaxed.Liam stayed by Celena's side until midnight before he got up gently and left the room.On the following day, Liam saw that it was still early after he arrived at the Bristow Group. He then went to the cafe downstairs as he planned to get himself a cup of coffee. As soon as he walked through the door, he saw Sunniva's assistant, Holly, waiting for her coffee at the counter.Holly was dressed in the same style as she had always been. However, she was not wearing a long dress that day. She had a beige shirt and a black short skirt. Her shirt was fully tucked in, which perfectly revealed her slender waist.What was most eye-catching was her long legs under the skirt. Her skin was as fair as snow, so much so that it was almost glowing. Her legs were simply perfect.Perhaps she was too bored while waiting for her coffe
The Jade Lotus Pharma Group was going to terminate their partnership with Bristow Group?Liam's mind was beginning to race, but all of a sudden, Holly turned to glance at him with a puzzled look. "Why are you standing there, Liam? Come on in! Ms. Bristow is still waiting for her coffee, and I need to get it up to her soon. I don't have much time to waste. It's been an incredibly busy day."Liam finally snapped out of his stupor, muttered his apology, and stepped into the elevator.He struck up a friendly conversation with Holly, and the elevator arrived at the topmost floor in no time. Liam handed Sunniva's coffee back to Holly, then snuck a glance at Sunniva's office as he stepped out of the elevator. A bad feeling had arisen within him, but at the same time, there was nothing he could do about it.He made his way toward the direction of the marketing department, carrying the coffee gingerly in his hands. When he reached the door, he ran into Xora, who was just leaving the offices
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
