Cheryl's words left Celena feeling anxious. Of course, Celena knew very well what kind of future Jovie and her would have if they were kicked out of the family again. That was why she worked so hard to bring her daughter back to the Stone family. It was so that Jovie would not have to live like they did in the past anymore.Celena was looking anxious. She wiped off her tears frantically and quickly went up to the fake Mr. Miller. Anxious and terrified, she said, "Mr. Miller, you're a generous person, so please don't mind Liam. It's all my fault today. It's my fault for not thinking things through. I shouldn't have brought Liam here. I—I apologize to you on his behalf. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Please don't call off the collaboration between you and the Stone Group."Celena was so flustered that her face was completely flushed and tears were streaming down her cheeks. She was about to go on her knees as she spoke.The fake Mr. Miller could not take his eyes off Celena with her
It was after Yafe heard Celena that he snapped out of being shocked. He got all worked up and rushed forward frantically, wanting to stop them. However, they were police officers, so he could only shout anxiously, "Gosh! Why are you arresting Mr. Miller? Hurry up and let him go, officer! That's the famous Mr. Miller!"Cheryl was anxious as well. She rushed up to Mr. Miller in her heels and explained eagerly, "Officers, could there be some misunderstandings? This is Mr. Miller. I'm sure you've heard of Mr. Miller, right? "If you're here to arrest someone, you should be arresting this guy named Liam instead! He just spewed nonsense and falsely accused Mr. Miller just now. Hurry up and arrest that loser!" After Sherah regained her senses, she looked toward Liam and Celena and bellowed, "Liam, Celena, what the hell did you do? Did you bring the police officers here on purpose? How dare you frame Mr. Miller and have the police officers arrest him? How bold of you!"In an instant, al
The fake Mr. Miller let out a groan after he was hit with a baton, and the mask he was wearing fell on the floor, revealing an incredibly lecherous and ordinary face.Someone from the Stone family exclaimed in shock as soon as his face was revealed."Fuck! How could it be him? He used to be a staff member of our purchasing department! He was fired a few days ago because he was found guilty of getting kickbacks! We even had a meeting to criticize this action!""Oh my gosh! It's really him!""How bold of him! He actually had the guts to impersonate Mr. Miller. He's got a lot of nerves!"Everyone in the room was all stunned. They were all in disbelief as they watched the police officer take the fake Mr. Miller away.Celena, especially, was shocked. She did not expect that what Liam said was true. That Mr. Miller was truly an imposter.In an instant, all the Stone family members who were cursing at Liam were looking embarrassed. Mr. Miller was actually an imposter, yet they were cur
Liam did not take what Celena said earlier to heart. He shook his head with a smile, wiped off the tears from the corner of her eyes gently, and said, "Alright. Don't cry. I'm not angry. I knew you were tricked. I don't blame you.""But—" Celena was still feeling very guilty. She wanted to say something else, but Liam cut her off once again."Alright," said Liam. After he wiped her tears for her, he pinched her nose gently and said with a smile. "Stop apologizing. I'll never be angry at you. It's getting late. Let's head home first. Jovie is waiting for us at home."Celena nodded with all her might upon hearing that. Then, she wiped her tears and left the restaurant with Liam. She kept looking at Liam on their way home. She held her tongue a few times although she had been trying to say something.In the end, Liam could not stand it anymore. With a smile, he asked, "What's the matter?"It was only then Celena asked, "Liam, didn't you come to the restaurant with me as soon as you g
Quillan was sitting in the middle of the room. His chiseled face was frosty, and he was exuding an air of authority. The air around him was incredibly suffocating when he was angry.Rain was sitting next to him. He had a chiseled face as well. Because he was trained in combat, he had a burly figure that was full of muscles. He looked incredibly vicious especially when he was angry as all of his muscles were tensed up.As the owner of the Nasso Martial Arts School, rain was incredibly well-known in the state. The school had hired three experts with the skill level of War Kings to be their trainers, but Rain, himself, was highly skilled as well.He was in his 40s, but he was already an expert with the ability of a military king. There were only a handful of experts like these in the state.At that moment, Kaison looked like a mummy as he was all wrapped up in bandages, and he was also sitting in a wheelchair. Not a single part of his body was uninjured, and only his face was exposed.
Right at that moment, a tall and muscly man stood up and came to the middle of the room, greeting Quillan and Rain with a nod."Mr. Quillan and Mr. Rain, I think they are right. This brat named Liam is too cocky. Everyone in the state knows your name, Mr. Rain. Everyone knows the Nasso Martial Arts School. However, he had the audacity to say such outrageous things and not take you and our school seriously at all. If we don't teach him a lesson and word gets out, our school will become an embarrassment."The man who walked out was Torsten Williams. He had the skill level of a Third Order War King. He used to be in the special forces, but he was discharged from the military because he did not follow the military regulations and kept making mistakes.Right as Torsten was at his wit's end, he met Rain and became his subordinate ever since.At that moment, Torsten was working as a martial arts trainer at the Nasso Martial Arts School, and he had dozens of students. He was very famous in
They knew very well how powerful Graham was. He was also an expert with the ability of a Third Order War King. They could even say that they were not as good as Graham in some aspects.However, Graham was killed in Kingsgate Martial Arts School, and he was killed with one move at that.A person who could kill an expert like Graham must at least be at the level of Fourth Order War King or even a one-star Military King. Since when did Drunham City get such a powerful person?Torsten's expression became ferocious and he was exuding an intimidating air after he regained his senses. His voice was cold as he asked, "Do you know who it was who went to the school?"Rain regained his senses as well. He glared at the subordinate, who was trembling on his knees, and bellowed, "Tell me! Who the hell had the audacity to kill my student!"The subordinate was so frightened by the intimidating air Rain and Torsten exuded that his face turned pale. His forehead was covered in cold sweat as he answ
'Hmph! Damn you, Liam. How dare you go against me. You're dead meat!' Kaison thought.Kaison felt incredibly delighted and sneered cruelly at the thought of Torsten and his men going to Drunham City to make Liam pay. Perhaps his movements were too big, he pulled on his wound and instantly grimaced in pain. However, the thought of Liam's imminent doom made him grin ear to ear.Right as Torsten was heading to Drunham City with his men, the head of the Norris family was feeling incensed. Graham was Rain's student, but he had been working for the Norris family for years. He had been killed in Drunham City, and that was simply a slap in the face for the Norris family.Gavin was sitting on his chair, looking at the information he received with a furious expression. "How insolent! He's just a loser from Drunham City, yet he had the guts to be so cocky!" he bellowed."I won't just let this go. I'll definitely make that damn loser pay the price! He wouldn't know how powerful my family is ot
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
