"Mr. Quain! Why? I don't understand! Why?" Cirroc could not wrap his head around what had just happened. He thought things would go his way for once, with Waylon on his side, but Waylon had been no match for Liam!Waylon sat across from him, looking equally somber. "Sir, that man is more powerful than me. I'm afraid that he is not just a mere bodyguard as he claims."Cirroc frowned at this and bellowed, "What? Is he more powerful than you? Mr. Quain, you're a three-star military king! If he's more powerful than you… then what does that make him?""I'm not sure, but we need to look into this. No ordinary man could've attained such strength at such a young age. I suspect that he is likely a descendant of a powerful clan…"Not even prodigies could possibly have attained such power at such a young age! Even Waylon, who had displayed talent far beyond his age when he was younger, had taken over half of his life to get to where he was now! Therefore, the only explanation for Liam's impre
Liam patted the back of his scooter and grinned. "Come on, beautiful. It's time to go home!"Celena giggled into her palm, then trotted over to him, her heels click-clacking against the pavement. "Let's go home!"All of a sudden, a black van screeched to a halt next to her. The door was flung open, and two men wearing masks and sunglasses reached out to grab her, pulling her right into the van. "Ahhhhh!" Celena screamed, the color draining from her face. She struggled against their grip, making as much noise as she possibly could. "Who are you? Let me go! Help me! Liam, help me!"Unfortunately, these men had acted too swiftly, and within seconds, they had already slammed the door shut. The van peeled away at breakneck speed and was soon gone from sight. It had shown up so abruptly that by the time Liam realized what was going on, it was already too late. The sound of Celena's terrified screams still echoed in his ear, and this infuriated him greatly. The moment Celena starte
The motorcyclist had just barely turned his head when he felt a sudden warmth trickle down his neck. Liam had stabbed him in the neck with a quintuple-edged dagger!Then, without missing a beat, Liam tossed the now dead motorcyclist to the ground, hopped onto his motorcycle, and sped after the black van.Liam had killed all three of his assassins within a matter of seconds, so although the van driver had his foot on the accelerator, he soon caught sight of Liam catching up to them in the rear view mirror.Liam's entire body was pulsing with white-hot rage, and his murderous eyes were fixated on the black van before him. Who on earth would dare to abduct Celena right under his nose?The sight of a motorcycle chasing after a black van soon caught the attention of passersby, and they all stopped to watch. This was a scene they never thought would exist outside of a movie!Most of the spectators had taken out their phones to record the whole spectacle. The people in the van soon rea
It did not matter how powerful he was, for he had placed his woman in mortal peril!Liam was so angry that he was practically seeing red at this point. His gaze remained unwaveringly fixated on the van before him. All of a sudden, the five motorcycles screeched to a halt, surrounding him and blocking his path forward. Liam squeezed the brakes, and the motorcycle skidded to a halt in the middle of the intersection. He scowled, glaring at the five masked men before him.The five motorcyclists were all momentarily stunned by the powerful aura he gave off but merely exchanged glances of hesitation. The next moment, two of them started their bikes and careened straight towards Liam. At the same time, they drew out knives, preparing to slice each of Liam's arms clean off!The corner of Liam's lip curled into a sneer. He released the brake and accelerated, streaking straight toward his opponents instead of dodging!Just as they were about to crash into each other, he raised the fron
Liam followed the van all the way to an abandoned building, where he recognized the motorcycles parked haphazardly in front of it as the ones that had chased him just now. He also spotted the black van that had abducted Celena parked in a corner of the lot. All of a sudden, a group of men strode out from the darkness. The one in the lead was tall and burly, dressed in a black tracksuit. There was a strange symbol tattooed across his forehead."Interesting! I wouldn't have thought you'd be able to find us!" he said, sneering, as his gaze landed on Liam. It went without saying that this man, who conveyed a far more powerful aura than the rest, was the leader of the group.Another man replied, "He has no idea what he's just gotten himself into!"There were five of them in total, and apart from the first two who spoke, the remaining three kept quiet and merely sneered at Liam. It was clear from the looks of contempt on their faces that they did not think Liam was a worthy opponent.
After seeing what Liam was capable of, none of the remaining men dared to move even a muscle. They peered at him warily, awaiting his next move.Liam stood his ground, the air around him charged with electricity as he stared at his opponents. "Tell me the name of your master, and you shall be spared!" he shouted, his voice radiating power and authority. The man at the lead sneered but took no notice of Liam's threat. Instead, he replied curtly, "I understand why you had the guts to follow us all the way here now. It seems that you have some pretty interesting tricks up your sleeve!"Very impressive, young man, but that does not excuse your cockiness. You will pay the price of your foolish arrogance!" White-hot fury blazed in the man's eyes as he said this, and he moved into a combat position as though he were about to strike at any moment. "The most important rule of the gangster world is that we shall never divulge the true identity of those we serve!"This only infuriated Liam
"Why… Why am I here? What did you do to me?" she sputtered. Celena was frightened beyond measure. Her kidnappers had knocked her out with some drugs upon abducting her, and she was still feeling the effects of it. Her head was strangely heavy, and she felt weak, as though she was not in control of her body.Her mind was fuzzy as well. She could remember getting off work, but the moment she stepped out of the building, a van had pulled up next to her, and some masked men dragged her into it. She struggled to free herself, but her kidnappers had placed a towel over her face, and then everything went black. She could not remember anything after that.The next thing she knew, she had woken up right next to a leering Cirroc, wearing a dressing gown and staring down at her like she was a trophy. Celena was too terrified to think. The grin on Cirroc's face was so sinister that she could not help but feel that something terrible was about to happen. She instantly backed away from him, her
"Besides, have you even thought about it? What will people say about a married woman caught fooling around with other men behind her husband's back? If you're not scared of becoming the laughingstock of the town, you can go ahead and call the cops!" Celena's face fell at this. This was fear like she had never known before, and her entire body was shaking like a leaf. She knew full well that she, a defenseless woman, could not possibly stand a chance against a full-grown adult man like Cirroc. There was nothing she could do about it; Cirroc would have his way with her.Therefore, her only option was to stall him as much as possible and hope that Liam would come to save her. Celena muttered Liam's name over and over in her head, praying that he would be able to hear her cries for help telepathically somehow. She could not even begin to imagine how her life would become if Cirroc had his way with her. How could she possibly face her husband, her daughter, and the public after anoth
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
