At a loud bang, Sherman crashed into a black van that was parked five meters behind him after he was sent flying.The front of the van which was famous for being crash-resistant instantly became dented. Sherman was bleeding from his mouth and was mounted to the van.Everybody present was stunned. Their mouths were agape and their eyes widened as they watched in disbelief. Gosh! Was he human?Sherman was a top-tier fighter of Third Order War King caliber, yet Liam slammed him into the van in one move to the point that he was stuck.The students from Nasso Martial Arts School who were waiting to see Liam get defeated were all in shock at the moment.It was unclear if Sherman was alive or dead, but Liam, on the other hand, was still standing in place calmly. His clothes were not even messy. Rain did not think that Liam would be that skilled. He took a look in Sherman's direction, and his face darkened, his eyes burned with rage."Sherman!" Geordie was so shocked that he froze. A
Rain unleashed an aggressive air once he was done talking, and he stared right into Liam's eyes. His clothes moved in the air even though there was no breeze.He took a step forward and the might he exuded frightened the Stone family so much that their faces turned pale. The students from his martial arts school were overwhelmed with shock as well.In the next second, the students' shocked expressions disappeared and were replaced with admiration and excitement.In an instant, all 500 of the students started shouting in unison.The Stone family members were terrified as they listened to the students' shouting. Some of them even burst out in tears."We're done for! Mr. Rain Nasso is going to personally make a move. Please don't drag our family into this!""This damn Liam is truly something else. That's Mr. Rain Nasso, for heaven's sake!""I heard that Mr. Rain Nasso is an expert fighter of two-star military king caliber. If he were to strike, Liam's going to die.""I don't care
What the hell was going on? How could Liam, that cocky bastard, catch Rain's fist?Rain was very confident in his capabilities. He was a fighter of two-star military king caliber. Besides, he already packed all of his power in that punch. A bull would be crushed into pieces in an instant by that much, let alone a man.However, what Rain could not believe was that Liam was able to catch his fist and was so calm when he did it.Was Liam not just at the level of Fourth Order War King?Could it be that Liam was hiding his capabilities and was a top fighter of military king caliber as well?Impossible! That was impossible!Rain was training since childhood, and he was just at the level of a two-star military king. Liam was so young. How could Liam also be at the same level as him?Everything happened in the blink of an eye, but it seemed like half a century passed in Rain's mind.In the next second, Rain was sent flying to the back. He was only able to find his balance after he move
"I've already told you my patience is running out!" Liam's sharp gaze met that of Rain's, and he bellowed, "Rain, take your men and get out of my sight right now! If you fail to obey, you shall face my wrath!"This, no doubt, ignited another surge of fury within Rain, who shot him a murderous glare and snarled, "How dare you speak to me that way! In all my years of reign, I have never met someone quite as arrogant as you! I am a Two-Star Military King—soon to be three-star—and I will not allow a punk like you to speak to me this way! How atrocious it is of you to even suggest that you could be more powerful than me! I'm going to teach you a lesson! You messed with the wrong man!"A surge of immense power coursed through his veins, and with a tremendous leap, Rain lunged toward Liam, his fist cocked in preparation to inflict his fatal blow!This time, he had learned from his previous mistake and knew not to underestimate his opponent. With newfound power, his every strike rained down
The Stones, as well as the rest of Rain's students, were all staring with their eyes wide and their jaws slack in horror. They could hardly believe what they had just witnessed.How was this even possible? How could Rain Nasso, the respectable trainer of the Nasso Martial Arts School, a man of the two-star military king ranking and among one of the most feared names in the martial arts world, possibly have been defeated by Liam just like that?"Mr. Nasso!" Geordie was the first to snap out of his stupor and rush to Rain's aid. He stepped in front of Rain, bracing himself in a posture of combat, and glared at Liam from across the room, albeit somewhat warily. Geordie's outraged cries also broke the rest of Rain's students out of their spell, and they scrambled over to Rain, surrounding him and shielding him from Liam lest he attempt to attack again. They kept their beady eyes trained on Liam, and one of the students hastily helped Rain up from the ground, looking worried. "Mr. Nas
Liam, however, stood his ground and merely smirked. "You'll regret this!"At the same time, he darted into the air and was gone from sight except for a dark silhouette pummeling straight toward his opponents!His opponents had barely figured out what was going on before they felt his wrath. Liam cocked his fist and struck one of the students so hard that he was launched backward, crashing into his companions and toppling them over like dominoes. The next moment, Liam disappeared from view again, with the only indicator of his location being the sound of alarmed shrieks as his opponents were flung through the air.The next thing the Stones knew, they were staring down at a remarkable sight. Before them lay the limp bodies of Nasso Martial Arts School's best students, strewn haphazardly across their lawn like ragdolls. In less than three minutes, Liam had single handedly taken down a large chunk of his five hundred or so opponents, leaving only less than a hundred standing!The r
His thunderous footsteps and formidable presence provoked such fear in them that they felt as if death itself was walking toward them!When Liam was a mere feet away from them, Rain's students finally succumbed to their fear and fell to their knees. "Forgive us, kind sir!""Please forgive us! Please, sir, show us mercy!""Please spare me! I was merely following orders!""Please, kind sir! I have family depending on me! Please have mercy on me, and I will repay you with my loyalty!"What remained of Rain's students all cried out with fearful looks as they pleaded for mercy. The sounds of their foreheads hitting the ground as they bowed before him reverberated through the open air of Stone Mansion. This, no doubt, came as an incredible shock to the Stones, who could hardly believe their eyes.What was going on here? Could their eyes be playing tricks on them?These were the respected members of Nasso Martial Arts School! How could they possibly be bowing down before Liam for his
Rain's extremities were as cold as ice, and his entire body shook like a leaf as he awaited his fate. He dared not ask for anything else and instead merely shrieked, still bowing his head low, "Mr. Cole, I regret my actions! Please, sir! Show me mercy and spare me! If you do, I will repay you with my loyalty and be at your beck and call for eternity! I will do anything you ask of me!"Rain clutched his mutilated arm to him and kept bowing his head so that his forehead thumped against the ground, emitting low thuds with every contact. This finally snapped some sense into them, and the Stones, as well as the members of the higher management who had gathered at the scene, slowly got to their feet. Someone helped Reginald stand, and although he still looked rather pale, his fear seemed to have been alleviated considerably. Reginald heaved a sigh of relief. He slowly hobbled over to Liam and glanced down at the kneeling Rain, looking wary. Although Liam had defeated Rain, he was still
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
