A frosty look gleamed in Yafe's eyes upon hearing what Cheryl said. After he pondered for a moment, he barked furiously, "Hmph! They are the ones who started this. Even if they wanted to leave the Stone family, they'd have to first go and apologize to the Yacano family."Yafe waved his hand and shouted frostily at the household staff behind him, "Kick down the door! You have to tie Liam up and send him to the Yacano family!""Yes, sir!" the household staff roared. All of them looked ferocious as they wielded their weapons and rushed toward the main entrance of the mansion.However, before they could get close, the door suddenly opened.Liam appeared in front of the crowd, exuding a frosty air, leaving the household staff stunned.He had a bone-chilling gaze as he stared at those staff and said icily, "I'm here to inform all of you that my wedding with Celena is in three days. You can attend if you wish to. It's fine if you don't want to. Celena and I don't need your witness and bl
Yafe regained his senses in the next second, but Liam still grabbed him by the collar and lifted him.Liam looked frosty and was out for blood as he said, "Yafe, I'm warning you. Behave yourself if you don't wish to die. I've been tolerating you in the past out of respect for Celena."Now that she wants to leave the Stone family, I won't tolerate you for challenging my limits because you're Celena's father."Liam threw Yafe to the side upon saying that.Yafe fell to the ground with a thud, hitting the stone tiles so hard that he was left in pain. Before he could regain his senses, he heard Liam's frosty voice ringing in his ear once again."Fuck off if you don't want to die!"All the Stone family members gasped.Did Liam mean he would beat Yafe up as well if he dared to piss him off again? How bold of him!Yafe was already hurting all over after he was thrown to the ground, and he got even more furious after what Liam said. He was going to get up and curse at Liam, but he sa
Tears welled up in Liam's eyes and he hugged Celena tightly. He was steadfast as he promised, "I won't! I would never leave you, darling! I would stay by your side and face everything with you even if the whole world abandoned you."Liam patted Celena's back gently as he said that. He seemed to have a catch in his throat as well, and he continued, "You and Jovie are my whole world, silly. How could I ever bear to leave you guys?"Celena could not hold back her emotions anymore once she heard that. She hugged Liam and burst into tears. She kept apologizing and said, "I'm sorry, Liam. It's all my fault. "I was weak, I couldn't bear to give up on this familial relationship that barely existed, and I kept hesitating. If it wasn't because of that, you never would have suffered so many grievances in the family."I'm sorry. It's all my fault."Liam never cared much about all that. He did not think that Celena was always thinking about it. He felt touched as he listened to Celena talking
Liam thought about it briefly while looking at the text, but he agreed in the end. As he replied to the text, he explained to Celena, "I won't be having dinner at home tonight. I'll be meeting a friend to talk about something."Celena nodded. She did not overthink about it. She just agreed.Soon, it was nightfall. Liam went to the address Corie gave him and saw her standing in front of the restaurant from afar. She waited for a long time.Liam glanced at the time. There was still some time to go before their appointment. He thought he was late. Corie saw Liam. She waved at him from afar with a delightful smile on her face.Liam did not dilly-dally and walked up to her with a smile. It was after he got closer that he saw that Corie was wearing a strappy long dress with a low-cut design.Half of her chest was showing in that black dress, and the color of the dress made her skin look so fair as if she was glowing.That was not all. The dress had a slit that ran up her thigh, leavi
Liam could not help himself and rolled his eyes at Corie. The trick she pulled did not work on him at all. He got up right away and said calmly, "If you don't want to tell me, just forget it. I have something else to take care of, so I'm going to leave now."Corie almost exploded in anger after she saw that Liam was going to leave. She quickly got up to stop him and said, "Wait! Hold on! You've got to be kidding me. Are you going to leave?"Was this damn Liam a man? He was so dense! Did he not know that pretty ladies always need some persuading?Liam glanced at her and said helplessly, "Didn't you say you don't want to tell me about it anymore?""You—" Corie was stunned. Thinking of the goal she met up with Liam that day, she said helplessly, "Alright. Fine. I give up. You win. Let's just sit down and get down to business."She could have just done so earlier.After Liam took his seat again, Corie cut straight to the chase and said, "Did you break Cirroc's thing?"Liam figured
"It doesn't matter." A frosty gaze gleamed in Liam's eyes as he continued with a grin, "If the Yacano family wants to attack me, they'll have to be ready to pay the price!"Corie was stunned by what she heard, and she looked at Liam with curiosity.For some reason, Corie had a feeling that the man in front of her was more than led on.A mere bodyguard could not have the confidence and domineering might Liam exuded in every move he made.However, what frightened Corie was still the big shot of the Yacano family. She heard that the person was coming back.Thinking of that, Corie looked slightly fearful and her body trembled a little as well. "Liam, do you have no idea? Do you know how many expert fighters the Yacano family has? }"They have about five that were of military king caliber. Not only that, but they have a core member who's a general on duty in the war zone."That general is very powerful. I heard he's at the level of God of War. A God of War!"To an average person, a
Liam was not an unappreciative person. Corie had her purpose, but she was indeed worried about him.Liam gave it a thought and said with a grin, "Thank you, Ms. Doyle. Is there anything else you want to talk to me about?"They finally got to the main point. Corie put on a serious look and quickly said, "Oh yes. Do you still have more of the pill you gave Henry the last time?"Liam frowned upon hearing that and looked at Corie skeptically.Corie instantly understood what he was thinking, so she quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand. I'm not trying to get it to save Cirroc. I'm just asking if you still have any. I want to study it."Liam shook his head and said helplessly, "No, that was the only one."Corie was disappointed. Her family had been practicing medicine for years. She has been extremely interested in medical knowledge since childhood. She wanted to study the pill ever since she saw Liam saving a life with it. She just never had the chance to ask Liam.She did not expe
However, Liam said he was not interested in her body.Corie was furious. At the same time, she was also reminded of what she just said, and her face became instantly flushed.However, Corie suppressed her urge to lash out at the thought of needing the recipe for the pill. She smiled and said through gritted teeth, "Then, what are your terms? You can tell it to me straight." This would save her the trouble of having to keep guessing and save her from making a joke out of herself like before.Liam replied calmly, "It's very simple. I want you to invest in a company on my behalf."Corie was stunned. She asked in confusion, "Invest in a company?"Liam explained, "That's right. I want to loan your name to invest in a company but don't worry, you don't have to fork out the money. All I want is for you to be an investor in name only.""No!" Corie refused immediately. After she heard Liam's description, she instantly thought of the scams that were rampant in the neighboring countries
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
