Wrenly had lost her parents early on, growing up with only her brother Trajan for company. His importance to her was beyond words. Suddenly, a towering figure strode into the room, his scorn for Garna's words evident in his scoffing. That newcomer was clearly mixed-race, with striking features and gray eyes that held a chilling glint. "General Chava, aren't you blowing this out of proportion? We're talking about a mere commander from Biskeland. With our ranks filled with warriors of God of War caliber, are we really worried about taking down Pendragon's top dog?" No sooner had he finished speaking than an intense aura of menace radiated from him, sending a shiver through the room as if the temperature had just dropped.Another shadowy figure, Fly Drakon, radiating a deadly aura, strode into the room and declared in an icy voice, "Absolutely! With all of us elite God of War warriors teaming up, how could we not take down King Pendragon? The moment King Pendragon dares to step for
"So, I hope you'll remember the promise you've made. If you fail to keep it after everything, I'll be sure to make you pay the price, no matter who you are!" Garna barked.The person on the other end of the call fell silent for half a minute after he heard what Garna said. Then, he answered in a cold voice, "Of course, General Chava. I am a man of my word. I will certainly do whatever I've promised you. I hope you won't let me down, General Chava."Also, I've split the hundred and fifty million dollars into two transactions and transferred them into your account and also your international bank account in Rochistan."As for the other terms, they'll be fulfilled after you take Liam's life!"Upon saying that, the person hung up the call.…Meanwhile, Liam snuck into Nexus Town through the western entrance and disguised himself quickly in a quiet corner.Liam was originally dressed in black. He then put on some gray clothes that the locals would wear over his existing clothes. He r
It was after Liam sat across from the man that he said with a smile, "I wonder what I can do for you, King Pendragon."Liam accepted the drink, but he did not have any of it. Instead, he looked at the grinning man with an icy expression and went straight to the point. "I need you to help me take care of something—the people in town who have been tailing me."The man laughed and replied, "This joke is not funny at all, King Pendragon. I'm sure you know that people from the nations at the borders have had their eyes on you ever since you came into Nexus Town. "Among them, the people from Koron were the most active. That's because I've got the news that Garna has gathered many strong fighters of God of War caliber on Grand Pendragon Hill. He has gathered a hundred thousand elite soldiers from the other two countries as well. They are just waiting for you to fall into their trap."The man looked at Liam with a mysterious smile upon saying that.Liam put on a faint smile as well, swir
The bodyguards who were in the room were trained in combat and were quite powerful. However, they did not see how Liam got to the back of Clyde at all.It was too terrifying.At that moment, Clyde had the frosty dagger pressed against his neck. His forehead was instantly covered with a thin layer of cold sweat.Clyde let out a couple of forced chuckles, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and signaled the bodyguards to back off with his eyes.Then, he said with a smile, "Please stay calm, King Pendragon. Keep calm."Seeing that, Liam pumped his eyebrows and said nothing. Then, he took the dagger away from Clyde's neck, turned around, and sat on the couch again.Clyde wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and walked toward his desk, picking up the satellite phone and making a call.As soon as the call was answered, Clyde said, "Get rid of those people who have been tailing Kind Pendragon in town immediately!"Clyde hung up the call upon saying that. He showed Liam the phone in his
Liam organized his backpack and climbed up to the hilltop next to Grand Pendragon Hill, which was higher.Liam crouched in a bush and took out the binoculars from his backpack. He was looking down at the environment of Grand Pendragon Hill, as well as Garna's strategies and defenses.He was deep in a dense forest, but he still saw at a glance the military helicopters, armored cars, and jeeps parked at the base of the hill. There were many guard posts for patrols in the surroundings, as well as drones flying back and forth in the air.In the meantime, many soldiers were getting ready for battle not far away.Liam frowned as he looked at the environment, munching on field ration while pondering about the next countermeasures.He never would have cared too much if he encountered this in the past. He would have the guts to barge in there and face a troop that was several hundred thousand strong.However, things were different at that moment. Calum was still in their hands. Liam did
Liam, the culprit, was long gone.At that moment, Liam already left the base and gone halfway up Grand Pendragon Hill. He quickly moved to the military base according to the location marked on the layout plan.Looking at the layout plan, Liam figured out that Calum was locked up in the dungeon of the military base halfway up the hill. There were hundreds of soldiers in full tactical gear keeping watch in the surroundings.The military base was heavily guarded as well.Their intentions were very clear. They wanted to use Calum as bait to make Liam go to the summit of the Grand Pendragon Hill.There was a flat surface that was about 100 square meters at the summit. There was only one way up as the other three sides were cliffs.At that moment, the eight expert fighters of God of War caliber were standing on the summit. They were sneering as they watched the explosion at the base at the bottom of the hill.Wrenly was playing with her braids as she looked at the explosion. Her smile
"Since he has entered Grand Pendragon Hill, he certainly can't be far. Search the entire hill!" Garna commanded."Yes, sir!" answered the soldier, who then saluted Garna respectfully and left the office.Soon, armored cars after armored cars drove out of the military base. Drones after drones flew out into the surroundings from the base as well.Meanwhile, Liam, whom everyone was searching for, was already dressed in the military uniform like the others and infiltrated the search party.Liam's face was covered in camouflage face paint, so his face was disguised. He looked at Garna, who was looking furious as he stood at the entrance of the military base a few hundred meters away. Then, a faint sneer slowly appeared on Liam's face.They were so near each other. If Liam wanted to, it would be a piece of cake to kill Garna.However, Liam could not do anything rash at that moment. His primary goal was to rescue Calum.After Liam infiltrated the big search troop, he found a chance to
The major saluted Liam and looked at him with a sullen face. His tone was icy as he said, "Please pardon me if my attitude has offended you, sir. This is a special time, after all. Now, please tell me the secret code."The major put his hand on the gun on his waist, ready to draw it at any time as he spoke.Liam frowned after he heard that the major wanted the secret code. The mood became incredibly tense in an instant.The leader and the soldiers felt something was off as well. All of them hugged their guns and looked at Liam with a solemn expression.Seeing that Liam stood in place without saying the secret code, the major walked toward Liam slowly and said, "Please tell us the secret code, sir."In the next second, Liam suddenly drew his gun from his waist and shot the major.The major collapsed in an instant, bleeding from the gunshot wound on his forehead.Liam fired another shot again, shooting the left shoulder of the soldier closest to him. The soldier let out a scream
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
