In an instant, all those heiresses were looking worried. They were all gathered around Cirroc, asking him questions with concern.One woman wearing a long floral dress held Cirroc's injured hand and shouted to the person next to her, "Quick! Bring me the first-aid kit. I have some medical knowledge. I'll help Mr. Yacano take care of his injury."Someone ran to grab the first-aid kit as soon as she said that.Right at that moment, someone in the crowd barked at Liam, "Liam, are you the one who did this?""What? It was Liam who did it?""Liam, what the hell is wrong with you? How could you attack Mr. Yacano?"Liam was calm as the ladies questioned and reprimanded him, and he ignored them.Instead, he was looking at Celena, who was walking toward him. He walked up to meet her and put her behind him, protecting her.Celena had no idea what happened at all. She was so frightened by the sight of the crowd that her face turned pale. Tugging at Liam's sleeve, she asked softly, "Liam, w
"Hmph!" Cirroc sneered and said icily, "Compensate me for my medical bills? Celena, do you think I would be short on money? Listen to me. What I have the most is money."Celena was stunned.Indeed, being the heir of the Kingsgate Group, Cirroc needed more money.Seeing that Celena was speechless, Cirroc suddenly thought of something, and a wicked sneer appeared on his face. He kept looking at Celena's perfect figure."There's a way for me to just let this slide." Cirroc deliberately paused to keep Celena guessing.After he saw that she was looking at him, he continued with a wicked grin, "I can forgive your husband for injuring me as long as you're willing to spend a month with me and make me happy. What do you think?"The wealthy young men next to Cirroc immediately echoed, "Celena, hurry up and agree. This is a chance many women would kill for!""That's right! It's your blessing that Mr. Yacano has taken a fancy to your liking! Don't hesitate anymore!""Mr. Yacano is from a p
Liam stared at Cirroc icily as he walked toward him. He was exuding a bone-chilling air all over him as he did. For a moment, the temperature at the deck seemed to have dropped a few degrees, which made everyone who was present shudder.After the trust fund kids saw Liam walking toward them with frosty air and a terrifying gaze, they kept backing away in fear.The young woman who was supporting Cirroc and wanted to take care of his injury abandoned him and hid in the back herself.Cirroc was so frightened by Liam that he was shaking all over his body and did not have any strength in his legs as well. Because of that, he was suddenly left standing alone in front.It was after Cirroc regained his senses that he realized all the friends who were currying favor with him previously moved away, abandoning him."You—"Just as Cirroc wanted to turn around to curse at the others, Liam grabbed his collar and lifted him.Liam's voice was frosty as he said, "Mr. Yacano, it seems you've forg
Cirroc was incredibly sullen. His gaze was filled with resentment as he stared at Liam. His hand, which was not injured, was clenched into a fist because of the raging anger within him.Right at that moment, Kendrick quickly rushed out from the crowd, helping Cirroc up from the floor. With concern, he asked, "Are you alright, Mr. Yacano? Don't be angry. Don't stoop to his level."However, Cirroc turned around and slapped Kendrick, pushing him away furiously. Then, he held his injured hand and returned to the cabin with a vicious expression.A frosty look gleamed in Kendrick's eyes, but he did not let it show. He put on an ingratiating smile and quickly ran after Cirroc.The yacht was equipped with a first-aid kit, and it so happened that someone onboard had medical knowledge.Cirroc sat on the couch in the cabin while the wealthy young woman from earlier was kneeling by his side, carefully wrapping his injured finger in a bandage.Kendrick, on the other hand, was watching at the
It was only then that Cirroc let out a sneer. He raised his glass to Kendrick and said, "Mr. Hyde, as long as this is done, and I get Celena and teach Liam a lesson, I'll treat you like a brother from now on."Kendrick became excited once he heard that. He had two reasons for inviting Cirroc to the gathering that day. Firstly, it was to have Cirroc embarrassed Liam. Secondly, it was to become closer to Cirroc.After all, the Hyde family left Drunham City for a long time. At that moment, the Yacano family was one of the top four families in the city, and the Kingsgate Group was incredibly powerful. Because of that, Kendrick wanted very badly to get acquainted with Cirroc.Kendrick quickly stood up while holding his glass, raising a toast to Cirroc, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Yacano. It's my honor to help you vent your anger. If you don't mind having me, I'm willing to be at your beck and call."He was excited as he said that, so much so that his hand that was holding the glass was shak
All the trust fund kids who were present always lived a comfortable life. They hardly saw thugs fighting, let alone encountering pirates. All of them were so frightened that they screamed and cried.Celena was very scared as well. Her face was pale, and her eyes were filled with fear. She pressed herself tightly against Liam, grabbing his arm with all her might."L-Liam, what should we do? We've run into pirates. Will we be alright?"Celena's voice was shaking as she said that. She was looking around the deck in fear as she was afraid those pirates would get up the yacht.A thought suddenly popped into Liam's head when he saw the pirates appear. He frowned, and his gaze instantly became cold.He put Celena in his arms to protect her and looked frostily at those pirates. Then, he said softly, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. Everything will be fine."The trust fund kid who was nearest to Liam heard him. He immediately sneered and mocked, "Liam, how are you still pretending to be someth
Those people who were beaten up were all covered in blood as they lay on the deck, howling continuously.The people who initially wanted to resist were all frightened. They then did as they were told and handed all of their valuable items to the pirates.While the pirates robbed the people of all their valuable items, they noticed those beautiful heiresses with hot figures. They dragged the women to the side and ran their hands which had a fishy odor along the women's bodies, trying to cop a feel."Ah! Let go of me!""What are you trying to do? I'm warning you. My father is—""Ah! Save me!"The few young women who were dragged off screamed in terror. They kept struggling, trying to free themselves from the pirates' hands.Celena was crouching on the floor and leaning herself against Liam. She was so scared after she heard the screams that she covered her ears and trembled all over.Liam wrapped his arm around Celena as he looked at the pirates viciously.There were 12 pirates
"Ah!"The pirate let out a miserable scream and was sent flying for a few meters before he crashed into two other pirates on the deck.In the blink of an eye, Liam moved with great agility and snatched the assault rifle that the pirate had around his waist.He immediately opened fire.The gunshots of the assault rifle rang out. Before the armed pirates figured out what was going on, they were already lying in a pool of blood.The leader, the burly man with the scar on his face, was also fatally shot by Liam before he figured out what was going on.Their leader and their armed comrades were all dead. The remaining pirates who were holding machetes instantly looked scared.Almost instantly, all of them dropped their machetes on the deck. They then crouched on the floor, hugging their heads, and shouted at the top of their lungs to beg for mercy.The drastic turn of events stunned everybody present.Liam ignored everybody and quickly picked up all the machetes on the deck instead
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
