Holly's voice was very soft. On top of that, Cruiser and the other two men were begging continuously. Their voices simply drowned Holly's out.The three men thought Holly was not willing to forgive them, so they got so anxious that their foreheads were covered in sweat.Seeing that, Liam said icily, "Why are you still here? Do you want me to escort you away?""Huh? Oh!""No need. No need. We'll get out of there right now!"At first, Cruiser and the others were stunned after they heard what Liam said. Then, they quickly got up, supporting each other as they scurried off as if they were being chased by a ghost.Liam had a cold gaze as he watched the three young men flee the scene. Then, he turned to smile at Holly and said, "It's alright now, Ms. Nacht. They're gone. Everything is fine."Holly was a little embarrassed as she thought of the things she said to Liam earlier when she misunderstood him. She smiled and said, "Liam, I'm sorry that I was wrong about you earlier, and I sai
"Even if your project was a success and the medication was developed, you don't have the sales channel. In the end, you'll have no choice but to collaborate with us, the Jade Lotus Pharma Group."Without us to provide you with the sales channel, your company wouldn't be able to sell the new medication off no matter how great it is."Morrison took a sip of his drink upon saying that. A frosty look gleamed in his eyes at the same time.At first, he thought he could wrap Sunniva around his fingers and make the Bristow Group agree to his terms after he pulled out his investment. To his surprise, however, Sunniva found a new investor very quickly. Never in a million years had Morrison expected that.So what if the Bristow Group found a new investor?The Jade Lotus Pharma Group was in control of most of the medication sales channels in the entire Druhham City, as well as a few cities in the surrounding areaMorrison was very confident this time. That was because Sunniva couldn't be a
If Sunniva were to agree to Morrison's terms, everything that came from the project of the new medication could have nothing to do with the Bristow Group anymore. The Bristow Group would become a subsidiary company of Jade Lotus Pharma Group as well.Sunniva would never do that. She was not going to just stand by and watch all her efforts go down the drain and benefit another person.She looked incredibly upset at that moment, and it was not just because Morrison was being aggressive at that moment.The Bristow Group was in a terrible condition lately. The Drunham City branch just came out of the woods because they found a new investor. The headquarters, however, was not doing too well. They were going through a crisis at that moment. Yousef was exasperated and swamped every day because of that.Because of the crisis, Yousef urged Sunniva more than once to run the Drunham City branch properly. If something were to happen to the Drunham City branch at that juncture, the entire Bri
"Then, we'll give 40 percent of the profits to the Winfrey family. I'll talk to them since I have a relationship with them and let them take care of the Bristow Group."When the time comes, you don't have to worry at all. You can just wait to get your cut of the dough. How great is that?" said Morrison.Morrison made it sound like he was thinking on behalf of Sunniva and the Bristow Group. However, the underlying intention could not be more obvious.Half of the profits to be given to Jade Lotus Pharma Group, 40 percent of the profits to be given to the Winfrey family, and the remaining ten percent would be to the Bristow Group.Sunniva's expression darkened in an instant, and her gaze became frosty.She did her best to keep calm, but she was just a human, after all. She wanted to refute Morrison, but she could not say anything after opening her mouth a few times.She was incredibly furious deep down. She bit her lips hard and glared at Morrison with great fury.Right as Sunniva
Liam pulled out a chair and sat next to Sunniva. Staring at Morrison with a sullen expression and a frosty gaze, he said, "I'm afraid it's not up to you to decide if I have the position to speak or not. Cut the nonsense. Whatever you wish to talk about, you can talk to me."Morrison's face stiffened upon hearing that, but it was back to normal very soon. He had a faint smile on his face and was leaning back in his chair, looking calm and composed.However, Liam was terrified as soon as Liam walked through the door.Liam did not say anything, but the air he exuded was enough to frighten Morssion and the others.Morrison was feeling fearful, but as the president of his company, he did not wish to let Liam and Sunniva see him as being cowardly.He coughed a little, still smiling calmly. He lit a cigar and took a puff before he said, "Talk to you? Liam, you're not an official employee of the Bristow Group. You're just Sunniva's bodyguard. Who are you to represent the entire company an
"It's because I'm close to your father that I want to help the Bristow Group," said Morrison.A frosty gaze gleamed in Sunniva's eyes upon hearing Morrison's shameless words. She clenched her hand into a tight fist under the table as well.Liam shot a look at Sunniva, telling her to keep calm. Then, he smiled and asked, "Oh? I wonder how much profit Jade Lotus Pharma Group wants."Liam finally mentioned the key point. Morrison smiled, took a puff of his cigar calmly, and said, "We want half of the profits."Sunniva looked sullen as soon as he said that.Liam, however, burst out laughing as if he heard a funny joke. "Haha. If we were to go according to your plan, we would only be left with ten percent of the profits, wouldn't we? "On top of that, you want us to hand over all the findings for this newly developed mediation to your company?"You have quite a scheme planned out, Mr. Green. You ask for so much, and I wonder if your company will be biting off more than you can chew,"
Morrison looked at Liam and Sunniva with a sullen face. He did not bother putting up a front anymore and went head-to-head with them. "Fine!" said Morrison. At the wave of his hand, the two men in suits walked to the door and blocked the exit. Morrison glared at Sunniva and said icily, "Since both of you didn't want to take the easy way out, don't blame me for not showing you mercy."Listen up. Don't even think about leaving this place today if you don't hand over the results of the research for your newly developed medication today!"Sunniva was incredibly upset. She immediately stood up and barked, "What do you mean by that, Mr. Green? Are you not scared that my father would come at you for coercing me like this?"She thought saying that would make Morrison feel worried.However, to Sunniva's surprise, not only did Morrison not hold back, but he laughed even more cockily instead. "Haha!" Morrison kept sneering. His face was incredibly ferocious and said icily, "Sunniva, thi
The middle-aged man was wearing a gray suit. He had facial features that made him look just like a sly business. He was wearing an expensive watch and a top-quality diamond ring, and he had a cigar between his fingers. The middle-aged man was rather skinny, but he had a formidable might. The man ignored everyone in the room and walked straight into the room. The bodyguards followed closely behind him, taking his jacket and ushering him to his seat respectfully.The man scanned the table in the room before his gaze landed on the wine glass in front of him. He then picked it up and took a small sip to have a taste.With a big grin, he looked at Morrison and said, "Wow, how generous of you, Mr. Green. I didn't think it would be Romanee-Conti."Morrison was all smiles, looking at Liam and Sunniva knowingly. "Mr. Zegler, if you like it, I'll send you as many as you want after we're done with the official business today," said Morrison.At first, Antonio Zegler, the skinny middle-a
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
