Makson was so nonchalant it was as though he was giving orders for dinner!In an instant, four of the burliest thugs among them all stepped forward, wielding their metal bats. They lunged toward Liam, raising their bats above their heads and aiming them straight toward Liam's legs!Celena, who overheard the commotion and ran outside to see what was going on, came out just in time to see these men about to attack Liam. The color drained from her face as she gasped, "Liam!"The next moment, these four thugs flew right into the air and landed in crumpled heaps against the van. One of them even went through the windshield and came out the other side, then soon passed out in a pool of blood. This happened so quickly that no one even saw it happen until it was too late. Everyone was stunned, even Makson himself. He was rather shocked that Liam would even dare to defend himself, and immediately he scowled. A glint of malice flashed through his eyes as he stared at Liam. "You're a stubb
Meanwhile, all of his thugs put down their weapons and got onto their knees with their hands above their heads. They were all criminals who were afraid of no one except the law enforcement people, and now that they were all caught red-handed, there was nothing they could do except surrender themselves!They fell to the ground with their arms raised above them, and some of them even got onto their knees to beg for mercy. George tossed the megaphone to someone else, then strode toward Liam and gave him a bow. "I apologize for giving you such a scare, Mr. Cole. My name is George Nelson, and I'm the commissioner in charge of this precinct! I was sent here under Mr. Mosier's orders to arrest these people!"Liam nodded calmly, without a single hint of expression. "Good. you arrived just in time!"George could not help but begin to sweat nervously when he heard this, more so because he was so intimidated by Liam. He never felt so intimidated by someone before, not even the mayor himsel
Jackson immediately broke out in cold sweats when he heard this. It was clear that Makson got himself into some deep trouble this time!Meanwhile, a man in his mid-forties, dressed in an impeccable suit, was writing a letter in his office in the hills, when all of a sudden, one of his subordinates burst into the room. "Mr. Wafer, something terrible has happened! Makson Reager from the West Precinct has gotten arrested, along with hundreds of his men!"This man was none other than Eaden Wafer, one of the most notorious gangsters in Willoughby who commanded an army of hundreds of men. Although he was a gangster, he owned several companies in Drunham City and was also a successful businessman. With his dual identities, one could say that he was one of the most powerful men in the city!He was so notorious for his malice that everyone who heard his name would cower in fear.Eaden put down his pen when he heard this. The servant standing next to him immediately handed him a wet towel. E
It would appear that Makson got himself into some deep trouble!"Thud!"Kolten could tell that Eaden finally put two and two together. He was so outraged that he placed his foot against Eaden's chest and snarled, "Well, since he works for you, this means he's your responsibility!"With that, Kolten got on his knees right next to Eaden.Eaden's eyes widened in shock. He began to tremble uncontrollably, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.Why was Kolten kneeling on the ground next to him?Kolten was the richest and most powerful man in Drunham City, and what could make a man of such power get on his knees to beg for forgiveness? Not only that, but he appeared to be waiting for someone.Could it be-Eaden felt a shock go through his entire body as though he was struck by lightning. His ears began to ring. He never thought that he would one day witness Kolten beg for someone's mercy!He inched closer to Kolten and murmured, "Please save me, Mr. Reath! Please! I had n
Eaden did not dare to lie and instead admitted truthfully, "Yes, sir. He's one of my subordinates, but I had no idea what he did. I did not know what he was up to today, and if I knew that he would do something to disrespect you, I would've killed him myself! Please forgive me, sir, I was completely in the dark about this!"Eaden kept banging his head against the ground as a desperate means of showing his sincerity. Even though the floor was heavily carpeted, he hit his head so hard that his forehead was beginning to bleed.Liam scoffed, then turned to Calum and said, "Bring him in!"Calum immediately dialed a number, and less than five minutes later, the sound of police sirens appeared outside the building. George stepped out of the vehicle with his men and brought a handcuffed Makson into the room."Thud!"Makson was then tossed onto the ground. His face was bruised and swollen beyond recognition, and when he caught sight of both his boss and the richest man in the city kneeling
George, on the other hand, slinked out of the room the moment he put Makson down and deliberately turned a blind eye to what was going on inside. He finally approached Liam when he came out of the room and asked, "Mr. Cole, is there anything else I can help you with?"Liam gazed up at the sky above him and replied, "Keep your mouths shut about everything that happened today! You should know what to answer if my wife's family asks about this."George immediately perked up. "Yes, sir, understood!"With that, George, Kolten, and the rest of the men watched as Liam strode away. It was only until Liam's retreating figure disappeared from view that they felt a wave of relief wash through them.George turned back to glance at Eaden, who was still wiping the sweat off his forehead. He did not say anything, and instead led his men out of there. He would leave Eaden to deal with Makson's dead body himself. Liam returned to Stone Mansion after this. Celena, who waited for him, came out of t
Wasyl's entire demeanor changed the moment he got off the phone, and Cheryl could tell that something had gone wrong. She quickly approached him to ask, "What happened?""Makson led his men to stir up trouble at your family's factory, but he was caught red-handed by the police commissioner himself and has been arrested. Your family's factory has resumed work as a result, so I need to speak to Mr. Wafer right now!"With that, Wasyl dialed his assistant's number and instructed him to prepare his car and three million dollars in cash."I'll go with you!" Cheryl said when she heard this. Wasyl and Cheryl soon showed up at Eaden's mansion in the hills, along with two briefcases stuffed full of cash."Who are you, and what do you want?" The guard immediately stopped them."I'm Wasyl Abbott, the heir to Abbott Group. I'm here to see Mr. Wafer. Please tell him I'm here. Tell him I'm a friend of Makson Reager's!"The guard shot Wasyl a cold look. "Alright. Wait here!"With that, he tur
A single slap left Cheryl speechless, her hand on her cheek as she stumbled to the side, too stunned to utter another word.Wasyl, his face a patchwork of bruises, managed to pull himself up. Spotting his chance, he lunged like a sprinter into his car, gunned the engine, and sped off.Cheryl, still shaking and clutching her face, watched Wasyl's car disappear into the distance. Panic-stricken, she took off after him, her voice laced with desperation, "Wasyl! Wasyl! Don't leave me! Wait up! I'm not even in the car yet! Wasyl, you jerk, how could you just ditch me like that?"And with that, the ridiculous spectacle came to an end.After his escape, Wasyl ended up in the hospital, enduring a lengthy bandaging process. When he finally emerged, he was a sorry sight—face battered, limbs swathed in bandages, one arm and one leg freshly cast, hobbling along.Settling into his car, Wasyl couldn't hold back his curses. "Damn that Eaden, he's like a rabid dog! I'm in agony!"Just as he was
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
