"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
Holly's bashful expression was completely gone as she listened to Liam's explanation. She had a long face and was crossing her arms in front of her. Looking like she saw through Liam, she said frostily, "Hmph! Liam, I don't believe you're that kind. I think you're just trying to argue your way out of this!"Liam smiled helplessly. He was never so wrong.He was prepared to continue explaining. After all, he was a married man. If there was any misunderstanding and Celena found out about it, then he would be dead meat, would he not?However, a sneer could be heard coming from behind Liam before he could say anything.Liam's expression darkened, and he turned back with a frown. He then saw the Cruiser, the tattooed young man he pulled away from on the bus earlier. Cruiser was walking up to Liam with two young thugs who were covered in tattoos following behind him.Cruiser had a wry smile and stared right at Liam.Holly saw the three tattooed young thugs as well, and her expression
The two thugs sneered and walked toward Liam at Cruiser's command.However, Cruiser was slapped by Liam so hard in the next second that he was dazed even before he could get closer to Holly.The slap was so loud and clear that Cruiser was left dumbfounded "How dare you slap me?" Cruiser covered his cheek which was quickly turning red and swollen. Glaring at Liam, he bellowed, "Do you know who I am? How dare you lay your hand on me! This is perfect! You're the first person in a long time who has the guts to hit me!"He was seeing red as he turned to his minions and barked"Guys, get him! Kill him! I'll show him how powerful I am!"Liam, on the other hand, was still standing in place calmly. He looked at Cruiser and said with a sneer, "Are you blind? How dare you move closer to her? Didn't you see that I'm still standing here?"Holly did not expect Liam would act so quickly and strike without hesitation, so she was stunned as well.As she looked at Liam's profile, she suddenly fel
Two miserable screams and a crisp cracking of bones could be heard.Cruiser's wrist was twisted and broken by Liam. The other thug was sent flying for four meters before crashing into a pile of garbage by the street."Ah!" The thug was dazed. His head was spinning as he lay in the garbage after he crashed into it, holding his stomach as he wailed in pain.Cruiser's wrist was broken by Liam. The excruciating pain that came from his wrist made his face flushed. His forehead was immediately covered with a layer of sweat."You—How dare you break my wrist! Do you know who I—" Cruiser endured the piercing pain and wanted to threaten Liam with a ferocious face?However, before he could finish, Liam twisted Cruiser's wrist a little harder, leaving Cruiser grimacing in pain once again."Ahh! It hurts!"Liam was twisting Cruiser's arm and looking icily at the other thug who was near Holly. His voice was icy as he asked, "What's the matter? Do you still want to make a move?"The last rema
