Yrian was beyond upset. He was the one who organized the dinner that night, and Lukas was the big shot he invited.Out of respect for Kendrick, he agreed to let Liam come along with him, yet Liam was so insolent.Yrian let out a sneer, standing up while looking frosty, and then he said, "Looks like you're drunk, Mr. Cole. I can't believe you said such a rude thing. Nobody but you would be able to take it? Do you think you're the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors?"Kendrick looked at Celena and said icily, "Take a good look at the kind of man you're with, Celena. Can he make you happy? He only had a few drinks, yet he has lost his manners."Celena was anxious. She quickly stood up and apologized to Yrian and the others, saying, "I'm very sorry. My husband must have had too much to drink. I apologize on his behalf. I'll take him out of here right away."Celena pulled Liam's arm as she spoke, wanting to drag him out of the room."Liam, please, I'm begging you, stop spewin
It was only then that Yrian regained his senses and quickly reacted. He also walked up to Liam and bowed his head, saying, "All hail Commander-in-Chief of the Pendragon Warriors!"Yrian was a few decades older, after all, and had plenty in his lifetime. It was obvious that he was more experienced than Kendrick in the way he reacted.Yrian had yet to learn if Liam was truly King Pendragon. However, Lukas already saluted Liam, so he should follow suit and greet Liam.Liam looked at Kendrick icily. He said nothing, but Kendrick's back was soaked in sweat after he sensed Liam's frosty gaze on him.Half a minute later, Liam let out a sneer, carried Jovie in his arms, and left the room while holding Celena's hand while she was still in a daze.It was after Liam walked out of the private room that Lukas became at ease. Kendrick and Yrian only dared to look up after Lukas became relaxed.Kendrick was still in disbelief and was looking stunned.Yrian was filled with nerves and confusion
Kendrick was furious as well. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Hmph! That damn Liam! How dare he put on airs in the name of King Pendragon? He's nothing more than a retired soldier. Does he think he's some big shot?"He was angry at that moment, so he did not notice the meaningful look Lukas gave them before he left.He was burning with rage at the thought that he was tricked by Liam earlier, bowed his head to him, and was so frightened that he was left trembling.Meanwhile, Liam led Celena out of The Manor House Kitchen. He was about to walk toward the parking lot when Celena suddenly stopped him.She was filled with suspicion as she asked, "Liam, are you the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors?"Liam grinned before he shook his head and said, "Of course, not. How could I be?"Celena was dumbfounded. Looking at Liam with confusion, she asked, "Huh? Then, why did Mr. Rhodes call you the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors?""Have you forgotten that I was discharge
"Hmph! So what? Are you jealous?"Celena looked just like a spoiled brat throwing a tantrum as she said that—the gaze she had simply made Liam feel weak.In the past, Liam could not understand it when he heard the soldiers in the military coaxing their wives. However, he finally understood them now.Liam was torn and was looking at Celena while sulky. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's right. I'm jealous. My wife is so beautiful and charming, and men are always thinking about her. Of course, I'll be worried."If it wasn't out of respect for you, I would've already beaten Kendrick up. How dare he covet my wife?"Celena did not let it show at all, but she was overjoyed. She curled her lips into a smile, and her eyes were filled with delight.She rolled her eyes at Liam and said with slight annoyance, "Alright. There's nothing between Kendrick and me. He just purely wanted to treat Jovie and me to dinner tonight."We've known each other since childhood and have been friends for
Liam told Celena about some of the things that he experienced when he was in the Pendragon War Zone, and Celena was drawn to it.Liam was incredibly worked up when he mentioned the things that happened while he was out on missions with his comrades. That was because that was the passion of a soldier.Celena, however, was not excited like Liam. Her smile was replaced by worries as she listened to the stories, especially after she learned that Liam always escaped death by the skin of his teeth every time he went on a mission.She did not expect that Liam went through so much when he was still in the military. He was always on the verge of death. It was no wonder why Liam would have so many privileges after he returned to the city.It was at that moment that Celena finally understood how great Liam and the soldiers at the borders were.Thinking of how tough it was for Liam while he was protecting the borders back then made Celena feel incredibly sorry for him. The way she looked at h
Unfortunately, there were no empty seats left on the bus after Liam and Holly got in.Holly frowned and scanned the bus as well. Seeing that there was no place to sit, she immediately walked to the spot by the window near the back door and grabbed the strap handle tightly.It was during peak hours, so the bus was packed with people. Seeing that the only empty spot was where Holly was heading, Liam followed her.As soon as Holly walked up to the spot by the window, a young thug with tattoos behind her moved closer to her with a wicked grin on his face.Liam saw the young man's movement and his lecherous expression. Liam then smirked indifferently and walked up to him. He grabbed the young man's arm and pulled him, putting him behind himself.The tattooed young man named Cruiser Wilman did not notice it at first, so after he was pulled by Liam, he almost fell. It was only after he grabbed the strap handle in a panic that he managed to balance himself."Son of a bitch, do you have a
Holly understood what was the hard thing her body was coming in contact with, so her cheeks flushed and her breathing became a little harder. She just looked incredibly uncomfortable.There were many people on the bus, so there was no way for Holly to change a spot, even if she wanted to. Liam, on the other hand, seemed to have his feet cemented on the floor. He remained standing firmly behind her every time the bus shook or ran over a bump.Holly's cheeks became more and more flushed after a few more touches. She opened her mouth a few times, but she was too embarrassed to talk about it.In the end, Holly could not hold back anymore because of the shame and the uneasiness she felt. Her voice was way more delicate because of the embarrassment as she said, "Uhm, Liam, could you move back a little."She was practically gritting her teeth to finish her sentence, and her face was as red as a tomato.Liam found it a little strange. There were people behind him as well, so there was no
No matter how ignorant Liam was, he noticed something was off. Looking at Holly's bashful face, he took out the quintuple-edged dagger from his pocket calmly. Then, smiled at Holly and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Nacht. This is a weapon I'm packing when I'm working,"He did not put the dagger back into his pocket after that. He strapped it on his belt instead.Liam looked calm, but he was feeling a little relieved deep down. He was a married man. It would be bad if some misunderstanding was created.Holly was stunned after she saw Liam taking out the dagger, and her face became even more flushed.It turned out the thing she was touching all the while was the dagger. She did not think it would be such a huge misunderstanding, so she was deeply embarrassed.Right at that moment, the bus arrived at their stop. Because of the misunderstanding earlier, Holly rushed to get out as she could not wait to leave anymore.However, Holly was standing by the window, and a middle-aged woman in fron
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
