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
They were just about to leave when they heard a scuffle from the lobby, followed by the sound of objects breaking and terrified screams. Liam and Sunniva followed the noise back to the hotel lobby, where they witnessed the hotel employees and guests being held hostage by Wade's men. Some of the citizens were sporting bruises and black eyes from their rough manhandling.This infuriated Liam greatly, which propelled him to shout and make his presence known. He could not tolerate anyone picking on innocent civilians! Anyone who had a problem with him should take it out on him, instead of picking on honest, hard-working citizens!A glimmer of malice flashed through Antonio's eyes, and his swollen face twisted into a sneer upon seeing Liam. Wade, on the other hand, felt a chill go down his spine the moment his gaze met that of Liam's. He could practically feel the power crackling through the air. Liam and Sunniva's appearance soon caught everyone's attention. One could hardly resist
Everyone gasped upon hearing this. The members of the Soul Reaver Guild all stood, their jaws slack as they stared at Liam in utter disbelief. They could not believe their ears. What was wrong with this man? Did he have no idea who he was up against?Wade was momentarily astounded, but soon his shock was replaced by sheer fury. He scowled, a fiery rage igniting him as he stared at this daring young man.Before he could even speak, however, one of his subordinates—a bald, burly man—stepped forward to glare at Liam. "Are you out of your mind, you twat? How dare you speak to Mr. Zegler and Wade this way? I'll make you pay for this!"With that, he cracked his knuckles as though preparing for combat. Then, he raised his fist and brought it down straight toward Liam.The next moment, something whipped through the air, glinting ferociously as it sliced through its path. The man froze in his steps, his fist still cocked as though he was about to strike, but the next moment, his entire
Others notwithstanding, just this single display of the Silver Arrow Tactic was enough to make him think twice. This was not an ordinary attack!The entire hotel lobby was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.All of a sudden, an angry scream broke the silence, "You punk! You killed our friend! You'll pay for this!"This seemed to snap everyone out of their horrified stupor and successfully riled up the rest of the gang members. They all fixated their beady little eyes on Liam. Someone else shouted, brandishing his knife, "You twat! This won't go unpunished! I'm going to kill you and avenge my brother!"This was met with grunts and murmurs of agreement. The members of the Soul Reaver Guild all perked up as though instilled with a newfound purpose. They raised their weapons above their heads and advanced toward Liam."Stop!" All of a sudden, Wade, who had been eyeing Liam silently all this while, let out a sharp cry, which made everyone freeze in their steps. Despite having b
