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
Liam said nothing, but his glare never left the gang of angry mobs. Why would these people just not call it quits?The leader was strutting arrogantly while holding a steel rod that was half a meter long. When his gaze fell on Corie, who was beside Liam, his lips curled into a lewd smile. "So, are you Liam?" he asked cockily, pointing the steel rod at Liam's nose.Liam glared at the steel rod and frowned. He nodded as he replied, "I am.""Then this will be easy."The leader sneered and sat in the seat where Corie was previously in.Liam frowned and asked in return, "And you are?"The leader ignored Liam. Instead, he grabbed the cutleries on the table and started eating slowly. "All you need to remember is that I am here for your unworthy life," he replied.Liam's face hardened, and he looked at the leader with a desire to kill as he said, "Do we know each other?"The leader threw the cutleries aside and wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, not forgetting to keep his
The men's gaze made Corie uncomfortable. She was angry and scared, and she held onto Liam's arms for dear life, fearing that he would agree to their terms. Corie leaned closer to Liam and said nervously, "I-If you dare to agree, then I'll make you suffer."Liam shook his head helplessly, amazed at the fact that she still dared to threaten him at that very moment. Immediately after that, he heard Corie's muttering again, "These men look horrible! They are so fat and disgusting. Hurry up and get rid of them!" The men heard that and started bellowing."What are you saying? Who looks disgusting?""That's right. You should count your blessings that our leader is even interested in you!" "If you dare to spew any more nonsense I'll strip you naked right here!" About five of the fierce-looking men all glared at Corie, frightening her so much that she held onto Liam's arm tightly. Her eyes were filled with frightful tears as well.Her tearful face only made the wicked smile on the
In a split second, these men were on their feet, wielding steel bars, pipes, and all sorts of weapons. They all glowered threateningly at Liam and Corie.The man in the bleed sneered. "Are you done thinking, punk? My pals and I are running out of patience, you know."As he said this, his lecherous gaze slid up and down Corie, his beady little eyes ablaze with frank lust. He could already envision Corie's curvaceous body spread out across his bed, helpless and exposed.The thought of this alone thrilled him so much that he could not help panting, and he felt a fiery desire burn in his loins.Liam, however, looked unfazed as he stared at his opponent coldly. "Yes, I'm done thinking, and I refuse to hand her over."The man's face fell, and he snarled, "D*mn it, you f*cking idiot! I tried to go easy on you, but you'd rather take it the hard way, eh? Well, in that case, get him! Capture him and cripple him! As for the woman… you can all have her once I've had my fun with her!""Splend
The leader was furious to see his men injured. His face twisted into a grotesque scowl as he snarled, "D*mn it, how dare you injure my men? You're going to pay for this! Boys, get him! Kill him and avenge our brothers!"The remaining men all grabbed their weapons and lunged straight at Liam. One of them attacked Liam from the side and let out a terrifying war cry as he swung his bat straight at Liam's head."Ah! Careful, Liam!" Corie shrieked in terror. A dark look crossed Liam's face, and his aura glowed menacingly as he brought his fist up to his attacker's chest. He had struck so swiftly that no one saw him coming. The next moment, his attacker was flung backward through the air without anyone even seeing what had happened.With a thunderous crash, his opponent slammed into the tables, knocking a few of them over before landing on the ground with a sickening crunch himself. He clutched his chest, wailing and howling in agony.The most horrifying sight, however, was the sunken
