What Liam said gave Antonio a shock, and peeping at the few bodyguards lying on the floor from the corner of his eyes immediately gave him cold sweats. It was about 30 years since he founded the Scorpion Gang, and he never encountered anything like this before—being choked and threatened by a young man.His guards were not amateurs. They were all highly skilled fighters of War King caliber. However, they were all unexpectedly easily defeated by Liam, and they could not even fight back.Could that mean that Liam was far stronger than the War Kings?As soon as he thought of this, Antonio asked, "Who the hell are you?"Liam did not answer him. He released his grip, turned around, and walked toward Morrison, who was shivering and hiding in a corner of the private room. "Mr. Green, how about you stop hiding and come on out."With that said Liam dragged Morrison by his collar and dropped him next to Antonio. Morrison's arrogance from before completely disappeared, and his head was
However, what Antonio did not expect was that before he stood up, Liam suddenly kicked him on his knee.At the sound of a crack, a bone in Antonio's leg was broken. He immediately dropped to his knees in front of Liam.Antonio did not think Liam would attack him without any warning. After his leg was broken and his kneecap hit hard on the floor, he grunted in pain. His face was flushed, and it was only because he clenched his teeth as hard as he could he did not scream.Morrison was so shocked that his eyes widened. He could not believe what he just sawWas Liam out of his mind?Antonio was the head of the Scorpion Gang from Greenfield Town. That was the biggest mafia gang there.Antonio was practically like a king in Greenfield Town. He held the same status as Eaden did in Drunham City. People in Greenfield Town, Drunham City, or any other cities would have to be respectful to him.However, Liam did not take Antonio seriously at all. Not only did he reprimand Antonio like he wa
Seeing that he would not be swayed, Sunniva finally gave up and stepped aside to watch in silence. Meanwhile, Antonio was trying his absolute best to ignore the excruciating pain in his leg and kept his head bowed low. "Liam, what do I have to do to satisfy you? Do you want money? Women? If money is what you want, just give me a price, and I'll get someone to transfer the amount right into your account. If you want a woman, just tell me what you like and I'll personally deliver one right to your doorstep!"I can give you anything, so long as you show me mercy!"Although he was pleading for Liam to spare his life, Antonio was still the head of the Scorpion Gang after all, and would not allow himself to remain in such a lowly position. Therefore, after a few minutes of attempted persuasion, he gave up kneeling and instead shifted into a sitting position. Meanwhile, Liam laid back against his chair, jiggling his leg idly as though they were talking about the weather. He soon turned
His mind had been taken up by his fury, and all he could think of was how to give Liam a piece of his mind!Unfortunately, reality was not as picture perfect as he hoped. Liam sneered when he saw Morrison lumbering toward him. The next moment, he raised his arm and slapped Morrison hard across the cheek. He struck Morrison with such force that Morrison swiveled around in circles before finally falling to the ground in a dizzied heap.Liam then turned to stare coldly at Antonio. "You can either choose to hit him or be hit. The ball is in your court."Antonio, who just a minute ago had been hesitating to take Liam's offer, immediately made a snap decision. He staggered over to Morrison, dragging his broken leg behind him, and called out frantically, "Don't hit me! I'll do it! I'll slap him as you asked!"Then, he grabbed Morrison by the collar, all nostalgia of their long friendship having been thrown out the window, and slapped him with all the strength he could muster. Smack!
As for Morrison's employees and assistant, the three of them were crouched in a corner, not daring to move even a muscle. Antonio picked himself off the ground and smoothed down his wrinkled clothes. Then, he wiped the blood from his mouth and glanced at Morrison. "Alright! Cut the crap! He's gone now!"Morrison let out a sigh of relief and stood up, wiping the blood from his lip as well. "What should we do now? Are you going to let him get away with humiliating us like this?" he snarled, glaring at the door that Liam had just walked out of. His beady eyes were narrowed in malice.Antonio, too, was staring at the door with equal fury. He then turned to glance at his defeated guards, all of them still slumped on the ground, and felt a jolt of fiery rage course through him. He had eight War Kings as guards, but Liam had managed to kill three, severely injure four, and leave the final one utterly crippled beyond measure. He was as good as dead now!Antonio felt a twinge of pain s
This burly man was one of the Scorpion Gang's most infamous leaders. He was also the head of the Soul Reaver Guild, and was known to his subordinates as the Almighty Tiger!!His real name was Wade Crusoe, and because of his position as the head of the Soul Reaver Guild, he was revered by the citizens of Greenfield Town. He had earned himself a great reputation due to his cruel, ruthless ways and was easily one of the most feared gang leaders in the Scorpion Gang!Every gang member in Greenfield Town would shudder at the mere mention of his name! Even Antonio respected him greatly and often proudly assigned the most challenging tasks to him. Rumors had it that Wade was most likely the one who would be appointed to take Antonio's place once the latter stepped down!This no doubt added even more to Wade's terrifying reputation.One would have to possess extraordinary talent to earn Antonio's respect, and this was true of Wade. Although he looked brawny, he was actually very observan
Wade and his men were utterly stunned when they saw Antonio appear in the lobby, hobbling on one leg.Horror and fury coursed through Wade's veins when he did a double take and noticed Antonio's swollen face and countless injuries. His eyelid twitched. Who dared to lay a finger on his master? Antonio was a well-respected government official in Greenfield Town, feared by both gangsters and citizens alike. Even the wealthiest of Greenfield Town had to bow before Antonio to show their respect; such was the influence that he had in the city!His power was known far and wide, and even Eaden, one of the most notorious gangsters in Drunham City, feared him!Who would dare to do such a thing to him? Not to mention that Antonio had eight guards, all of whom were War Kings, accompanying him day and night. Who could possibly have committed such a heinous crime?Wade frowned at this and glanced around Antonio, but could not see any of his guards. His heart lurched in his chest as a bad feeli
Antonio scoffed at this, but it seemed to have soothed him a little, for his furrowed brows began to relax. All of a sudden, something crossed his mind, and he frowned once more. "Why are the men from Soul Reaver Guild the only ones here? Where are the others?"To which Wade quickly replied, "Sir, the rest are already on their way. They were in the Northern District when I called them, which is further away from here, so it's taking them longer to arrive. They'll be here in another half an hour."As for the Allegiant Guild, they are out on a mission and will not be able to make it back to Drunham City in time."Antonio frowned at this. He glanced around him at the sixty or so men, wondering whether their combined forces would take down Liam.Logically speaking, although Liam had single-handedly defeated eight War Kings, he could not possibly overpower six dozen men at the same time! It just was not possible!Antonio was relieved by this, and waved his hand at Wade in dismissal. "I
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
