Garna looked at the bodies of the top fighters who were of God of War caliber and quickly regained his senses. At the wave of his hand, he pointed at Liam and bellowed, "Shoot! All of you, shoot him! Kill him!"However, before Garna could finish, Liam was no longer standing in front of him.Liam made a move, grabbed dozens of steel needles from his waist, and shot them all out. Every single needle shot into the forehead of the soldiers surrounding him.Then, dozens of soldiers around Liam fall one after another like dominoes. In an instant, a large number of soldiers already fell around him.Garna panicked as soon as he saw that. He could not hold his facial expressions and looked terrified.All the remaining soldiers were stunned as well and were frozen in place. They looked at each other, and none of them dared to move.Garna immediately drew his gun and pointed it at Liam. Then, he bellowed at his subordinates who were still in a daze, "What are you waiting for? Attack him now
The soldiers were scared out of their wits as they looked at Garna's decapitated body in shock.It was too terrifying.That was Garna, who was also a commander-in-chief. However, his head was sliced off by Liam before he could even fight back.Was that what was so terrifying about King Pendragon?The soldiers lost their leader.Liam kept weaving in and out of the remaining soldiers and they kept collapsing.In less than three minutes, all the soldiers who were present were killed by Liam.By the time the last soldier collapsed, the summit of Grand Pendragon Hill was piled up with bodies. The entire ground was covered in blood. The air was filled with a thick, pungent scent of blood, which was revolting.Liam held his dagger and wiped off the blood with the uniform of one of the soldiers. His gaze was cold as he glanced at Wrenly, who was hiding behind a tree nearby.Then, he wasted no time and got into the Jeep. However, he did not plan to drive off.He carried Calum from the
The sound of the bombings and the big commotions reached Nexus Town.The familiar sounds of gunfire made the residents of Nexus Town panic as it was only a few years since they came out of war.Many of the residents ran out and saw the fire on Grand Pendragon Hill at the entrance of the town.The entire town was instantly on alert.Clyde and a few of his men were standing at the rooftop of a church in the town, looking in the direction of Grand Pendragon Hill.Looking at the fire that kept burning on the hill and listening to the sounds of the gunfire left Clyde looking incredibly solemn.One of his men looked at the flame and whispered, "With such a big commotion over there, I believe King Pendragon is going to be killed this time.""I agree. They performed such a strict blank search and have had so many bombs go off. King Pendragon is probably doomed even if he's invincible.""Hmph! King Pendragon was still too cocky. This is not Biskeland. This is Nexus Town. He dared to thr
The booming of the explosions kept ringing in both Liam's and Calum's ears. The dirt was sent flying after the ground was bombed. Many of the towering trees were snapped in half as well.Just then, an incoming bomb looked like it was about to land on Liam. He immediately kicked off the ground and rolled to the side for a few meters. Then, at a loud boom, a crater appeared after the bomb went off, and dirt that was sent flying landed on both their faces and bodies.Calum looked like he was in pain. He knew Liam would have long left Grand Pendragon Hill if it was not for him. He was the one slowing Liam down.Thinking of that, Calum got teary and shouted, "Don't take me along, sir. Just hurry up and leave! Hurry up and go! Just leave me. If this continues, neither of us will be able to leave!"However, Liam ignored him. He kept carrying Calum on his back, dodging the bombs that kept going off while running toward the dense forest ahead at full speed.Liam could tell that Calum was b
Liam looked at the way Calum got all choked up and patted his shoulders with a smile. Then, he said, "Don't worry about me. Stay safe."Liam left the crevice upon saying that. He did not walk into the dense forest after he came out. He did a flip instead and jumped off the cliff again.He landed on rocky terrains after he jumped off. Liam had great agility, and he just kept climbing and jumping on the tall rocks with ease.Soon, Liam arrived at the side of the base of the artillery battery that kept bombing the hill.Liam hid behind the stone wall that was covered by bushes, and he carefully monitored the battery through the crack.As the soldiers were bombing for more than an hour, they were all reorganizing and refilling their ammunition at that moment.Six drones were patrolling the sky near those soldiers.Because Liam previously launched a sneak attack on the guard post, all the soldiers were on high alert. Patrol soldiers and drones were both deployed at the same time to p
However, what they did not know was that Liam, the person they were looking for at that moment, was just less than two meters away from them."I've found the drone, sir!" shouted one of the soldiers after he saw the remnants of the drone that blew up.The leader of the team immediately led the others toward the drone. After he picked it up and carefully inspected it, he asked, "Is there anything unusually nearby?""Other than this drone, I didn't notice any signs of the enemy, sir!"The leader looked solemn upon hearing that. He then scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze, trying to see if he could notice anything.At that moment, Liam looked at the five soldiers from under the tank and shot a few needles at them.As soon as the needle pierced into the soldiers' legs, all five of them felt their legs go numb, and they immediately fell to the ground.Liam quickly came out from under the tank, drawing his gun at the same time, and fired a few shots at the soldiers.Before the
Bang! An ear-splitting gunshot rang out as Liam's bullet pierced through the air and landed right on target, igniting the exposed dynamite. Boxes and boxes of dynamite erupted one after the other in rapid succession, like a row of cascading dominoes. In a split second, the campsite was engulfed by a flaming inferno, and the final explosion from the dynamite Liam had hidden underneath the tank blew the soldiers off their feet, launching them into the air. A deafening crash reverberated through Grand Pendragon Hill, so thunderous it felt as though the earth itself was shaking. Liam stood perched on his tree, sneering as he surveyed the outcome of his work. Then, he leapt off, landing nimbly on the ground before disappearing into the depths of the thick forest.As terrifying as the impact of the explosion was, some of the soldiers on the outskirts of the forest had been spared but suffered serious burns and injuries as a consequence. They howled and screamed in agony, their cries e
Meanwhile, Liam had speedily left the campsite and sought cover in the thick forest. Whilst prowling around, he ran into many of the soldiers searching for him and killed them mercilessly!As time slipped by, Liam had managed to kill several dozen search teams, while the remaining surviving ones kept hearing horrifying news of their comrades' demise on the intercom.The survivors were all beginning to panic, for none of them knew whether they would be killed off next.Liam was like a phantom, weaving soundlessly through the thick bushes and forest undergrowth. By the time someone caught sight of him, it was already too late. What was most terrifying about Liam was not him per se but the fact that one could never know where he would materialize next. At that moment, Liam sneakily crept up alongside one of the search teams. One of their soldiers glanced furtively around him, then broke off from the group to a tall bush nearby with the intention of relieving himself.Liam bided hi
Meanwhile, Celena and the group were taken out of the hotel and shoved forcefully into a couple of jeeps waiting at the entrance. They were whisked away to a nearby military base. Before they could even get their bearings straight, they found themselves being tossed into holding cells. Celena, on the other hand, was taken separately to a small, dark room, illuminated only by the barest sliver of light that peeped in through a tiny window. The room was entirely empty, save for a metal bed frame. A sour stench hung in the air, and it was clear this room had been abandoned for a very long time. A soldier shoved Celena roughly into the room, and before she could realize what was happening, the soldier slammed the door shut.The soldier had pushed Celena so hard that she fell onto the ground, but upon seeing that her captor was about to leave, she leaped to her feet and sprinted over to the door. "Sir, can you tell me what I did wrong? Can you please have mercy on me? Can you at least
Tristan seemed just as baffled as they were. He returned their puzzled gazes with an equally perplexed one of his own. "I… I have no idea…"The general glanced sharply in their direction, then gestured to his soldiers and declared sternly, "Take them away!"His soldiers obliged and stepped forward to restrain the members of the Drunham City Connoisseurs, who all shrieked in alarm, "Why are you taking us away?""General, what did we do wrong? We didn't do anything illegal, so why are you arresting us?""Mr. Xander, save us! They've got this all wrong!""What's going on here? Why are they arresting only us?"Celena's entire body was shaking like a leaf. She eyed the soldiers around her and asked, stammering, "General, what did we do wrong? Why are we being captured? Where are you taking us?"Tristan, stricken with panic, shoved a soldier aside and shouted at the general, "General, I'm the president of the Drunham City Connoisseurs, and I want to know why we're being taken away. Wh
Celena was utterly terrified by the sudden turn of events. She stared pale-faced at the soldiers around her, not daring to move even a muscle. What was going on?All of a sudden, a man in a uniform stepped into the room. The badge on his shoulder indicated to everyone that he was a general. The heavy thumping of his boots echoed through the silent room with every step he took. All eyes were on him as he stepped onto the stage.He carried himself with great authority, and clearly, this man was not one to be messed with. He scanned the room as if searching for someone. Finally, he announced in a deep, resounding voice, "Do not fear, ladies and gentlemen. We are here on a routine check after receiving a tip-off regarding your conference. We will release you all once we have carried out our investigation, and the process will be quicker and smoother if you all cooperate. "Now, I would kindly request you get your documentation ready so that my men may confirm your identity."Everyone
Derek nodded earnestly and replied, "Of course it's true. My sources have never failed me. I wouldn't have trusted you with this information if I didn't think you'd be interested."Celena stared at him for a moment, then turned to glance in the direction of the people he had pointed. She could not help but be tempted by the offer. She considered this for a few moments, then accepted his offer. "Alright then, Mr. Duncan. I'll go with you. Thank you for inviting me."The smile on Derek's face widened. He could hardly believe his luck—Celena had agreed to go with him! Taking that first step was always the hardest, but he had done it!Unbeknownst to Celena, Derek already knew her long before their first meeting at the conference. Her name was known far and wide in Drunham City, not least because of her beauty, but because of her—in the eyes of the public—tragic marriage. Celena had earned herself a reputation as one of the most beautiful women Drunham City had ever seen, and although
The attention they received, however, was large due to Celena and her young, handsome companion, who was a man named Derek Duncan. Their attractive looks, both individually and combined, were easily the topic of discussion that night. Everyone who laid eyes on them admired both their good looks and brains, for certainly only the cream of the crop were allowed to attend this prestigious event. What made this feat even more impressive was the fact that they were both so young!Aside from her beauty, Celena's name was already known far and wide in the business world, not just because of her strong leadership but due to her association with Liam and her company's connections with many international corporations. She had started her business from scratch, but within a few short months, she had single handedly built it up to become one of the top ten grossing companies in Drunham City.There were hundreds of people gathered there tonight, and their seats had been allocated according to t
The moment Clifford left, Kastor turned to Liam with a wide grin, all hint of his hostility now gone. "Mr. Cole, thank God I arrived just in time."He raised his brows as he said this, and Liam took this to mean he was trying to claim credit. Truth be told, he would have been able to handle things on his own even without Kastor's help, but he decided this was a detail Kastor did not need to know. Instead, he returned Kastor's smile graciously. Kastor, like a child, burst into laughter at this. No further words were exchanged, but they understood the message nonetheless.Jeffrey also grinned. "Kastor, what brings you here all of a sudden?"Kastor replied, "Ah, you might not know this, Mr. Stein, but I actually own this very restaurant that you're sitting in right now. One of my employees called me for help, citing that a brawl was about to break out, so I rushed over immediately. I had no idea it would turn out to be you and Mr. Cole!""Ah, what a pleasant surprise, then!" Jeffrey
Clifford scowled upon hearing this. He cracked his knuckles menacingly as he stared at Kastor through narrowed eyes.Kastor did not seem at all intimidated by this. Instead, he brushed past him and approached Liam, smiling. "Mr. Cole, I apologize for the delay. I rushed over as soon as I heard the news, but I was late anyway. I'm so sorry for the wait."Liam's expression eased up slightly. He tugged the corners of his mouth into a strained smile but did not reply. Clifford's expression turned even more sour when he sensed Kastor's tone. He asked sharply, "What is the meaning of this, Kastor? Are you intent on making me your enemy?"Clifford's reputation was known far and wide, and many feared him, but Kastor was not one of them. He shot Clifford a look of utmost disdain and replied, smirking, "Yes, Clifford, that's exactly what I'm going to do. So what if we will be enemies from now on? What are you going to do about it?"He was confident that Clifford would not dare to retaliate
One of the muscle-bound goons stowed his submachine gun and drew a hefty machete, nearly a foot long, from his side. He advanced on Liam with deliberate steps.Calum and Cirocco were poised for a fight, ready to jump in at Liam's command and wipe out the roomful of petty thugs.However, Liam had other plans. He remained seated, an unfazed smirk playing on his lips, watching the approaching thug with the machete.The thug, mistaking Liam's calm for fear, grinned viciously and raised his machete, aiming for Liam's arm.However, in a flash, the scene changed.A figure hurtled through the air, and with a resounding crash, the thug was sent flying into the wine rack. The rack toppled, bottles shattering, their contents spilling and perfuming the air with the scent of alcohol.The thug hit the ground, blood spurting from his mouth, his eyes wide with shock. He lay there, lifeless, staring at Liam, dead before he hit the floor.The room plunged into a deathly hush.Corie clapped a h
Corie was also shaken, her fists clenched tight under the table as she watched Liam with wide, fearful eyes, barely managing to whisper, "Liam!"Liam stood there, steady as ice, without a trace of fear. "Don't worry, I've got this," he assured.Corie, seeing Liam's calm dismissal of the threat and recalling his proven strength, felt her fear ebb away.She could not explain it, but she had an unwavering faith in Liam.Across from them, Clifford lounged back, his legs thrown carelessly over the table, his gaze dripping with disdain. "You don't know who you're messing with, do you?" he sneered. "Karpos works for me, Clifford. And yet, you've got the gall to attack my men in broad daylight? You're in over your head!"Jeffrey was about to chime in, but one look at Liam's icy demeanor and he thought better of it, choosing instead to watch the scene unfold in silence.He was curious to see just how Liam would handle that.Liam chuckled, a sound as cold as the winter wind, and fixed Cli
