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
