Reginald was stunned by Rain's words. He had no idea how to refute him.After all, Celena was a member of the Stone family, and Liam was her husband. He was indeed a part of the Stone family.Right as Reginald was dazed, Yafe regained his senses. He quickly crawled to Reginald's side and explained, "Please don't be angry, Mr. Rain Nasso. My father is old and unwell. He even fainted earlier. Please forgive him since he's already so old."As Yafe spoke, he held Reginald to support him and rubbed Reginald's back to help him breathe. Then, Yafe continued, "Please let me explain. This truly has nothing to do with our family at all. Liam has indeed married one of our family members, but we've never acknowledged him as one of us."Liam was the heir of the Cole family from this city seven years ago. He disappeared after the Cole family was annihilated, but he returned to Drunham City seven years later. He even married Celena, who was banished from our family."Please look into it. Everyth
Reginald and Yafe panicked as well. They quickly took out their phones and looked through their contacts for Liam's number with trembling hands.Reginald's face was pale as he cried out to Yafe, "Hurry, Yafe! Call Liam now and tell him to get his ass here right away!"Yafe was terrified. He found Celena's number and called her.Meanwhile, Liam was having fun with Celena and Jovie at the largest amusement park in Drunham City.As they passed by a cotton candy stall, Jovie saw the colorful cotton candy that came in all shapes and sizes. She immediately said adorably, "Dad, Mom, that cotton candy looks pretty. I want to have one."Celena glanced at the candy and replied with a frown, "Jovie, you're starting to get your permanent teeth. Let's not have too much candy. It's not good for our teeth.""Pretty please, Mom!" Jovie pouted her lips, tugged at Celena's arm with both her hands, and said in an adorable voice, "I'll just have one. I promise. Please, Mom."Seeing the way Jovie lo
Yafe called Celena almost ten times, but she hung up on him every time. Yafe was so anxious that he was sweating buckets, and he kept cursing at Celena in his mind."The number that you are calling is currently switched off. Please try again later."By the tenth time Yafe called, Celena's phone was already turned off. Yafe was stunned. He did not think that Celena would do that.Reginald and the other Stone family members were all waiting for the outcome from Yafe. As they saw Yafe look more and more troubled, they gradually became nervous.Looking terrified, Reginald asked, "What's going on, Yafe? Could you get hold of Liam and Celena?"Yafe's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He was so anxious that he was about to cry. He cried out in a panic, "It's not that I didn't contact them, Dad. It's that- That bitch Celena is not picking up my call at all. I called her a few times, but she didn't answer at all."What? Celena was not picking up her phone.All the Stone family members,
"I agree! It's all Liam's fault! Please spare my life, Mr. Rain Nasso!"Yafe shuddered after he heard what Rain said as well. His hands could not stop shaking as he held his phone, and he quickly called Celena again.However, no matter how many calls he made, Celena's phone was still switched off.Time was ticking away. Half an hour flew by in the blink of an eye while everyone was nervous.The Stone family and those senior executives from the company were all in a panic. Some of them who were more timid were so frightened that they dropped to the ground. Some hugged the people next to them and burst into tears.One of the senior executives was so scared that his body could not stop shaking. He cried and muttered to himself, "Holy shit! I'm dead! I shouldn't have come to Stone Mansion today."At that moment, Reginald was also sitting on the ground with great despair and looked incredibly old. He was already unwell, to begin with, and he was also shrouded by immense fear at that m
Rain's words frightened Yafe so much that his face turned pale and he almost fainted.Yafe's neck was already wrapped up in bandages and in a brace, to begin with, and he was grabbed by the collar by Rain's student at that moment. He felt so frightened that he was about to lose his mind.Seeing that the student was about to strike, Yafe covered his head with both his hands and shouted at the top of his lungs in fear, "Don't! Please, Mr. Rain Nasso, don't kill me! Don't kill me! I—I'll contact Liam right away. Please spare my life!"Rain shook his head at the student upon hearing that. The student immediately understood what Rain meant and stopped moving.Rain stared at Yafe with a bone-chilling gaze and said, "If I don't kill you, then you have to pick a person. Someone has to be the first."Yafe shuddered after he heard that, and he looked at the other Stone family members in horror.The Stone family panicked after they heard Rain's words and saw Yafe's gaze. They were all afrai
Yafe was truly scared. He was already a middle-aged man, yet he was still so frightened that burst into tears when his life was at stake.No matter how much Reginald cared about Yafe, his selfishness was infinitely amplified at this juncture. Besides, it would not be the first time Reginald did such a thing.Listening to Yafe's cries, Reginald turned his head away to not look at him. After all, Yafe was indeed the son he valued the most. He raised Yafe to be his successor, so he still found it a little hard to bear to watch Yafe die.Rain was watching everything with a frosty gaze. He had a faint grin on his face the whole time. It seemed that he was very happy to see the Stone family being terrified. He sneered and raised his hand, signaling the student to strike."Do it," Rain said icily.As soon as he said that, the student who was grabbing Yafe by his collar kicked Sherah away and dragged Yafe out.Yafe was so terrified he almost went crazy. He struggled with all his might an
All the Stone family members who were on their knees and bawling their eyes out turned their heads to look behind them. Then, they saw Liam walking toward them, exuding a frosty air.Liam had an aggressive air to him. Every step he took made the others feel terrified and suffocated.Sherah was stunned as soon as she saw him. Then, she exclaimed, "Liam!""Quick! Everybody look! It's Liam! Liam's back!""You're finally back, you asshole! Do you know we're in deep trouble because of you?""You're a damned loser and you're jinxed! We're doomed because of you!""The son of a bitch Liam is back, Mr. Rain Nasso! Just kill him instead! It's all his fault. It has nothing to do with us at all!"The Stone family members instantly got all worked up and started shouting at the top of their lungs after they saw Liam. After all, Liam appeared, which meant their lives were saved.Yafe sat on the floor. It was after he turned his head and saw Liam that he finally felt relieved. At the same time
Liam did not take the cursing and the disdain from the Stone family to heart at all. He simply came straight up to Rain and the others."So, you're Liam, the man who killed Graham, Torsten, and the others?"Rain looked icily at Liam, who was standing in front of him. Rain's gaze was frosty, and he exuded a powerful might all over.Yafe, Sherah, and the others who were nearest to Rain were so frightened by the might he exuded that they shuddered and looked terrified.Liam still looked as calm as ever. He looked right into Rain's eyes frostily and said, "That's right. That's me."At first, Liam did not plan to come back. However, when they were at the amusement park, Celena was very worried that the Stone family had something important to discuss. She could ignore the others, but she could not bring herself to not care about Reginald as he loved her very much since childhood.Liam would always do whatever Celena wanted, so since Celena brought it up, Liam returned to Stone Mansio
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
