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
"You haven't learned your lesson, huh?" Liam jeered, raising his brows. He grabbed hold of the man's wrist, just inches away from his face, and at the same time, twisted him around and swiftly disarmed him. The man froze, hardly believing how Liam could have disarmed him so swiftly. The next moment, he heard the shattering of broken glass and felt a warm liquid trickle down. "Ahhhhh!" The next moment, he was overcome by a pain so agonizing that he let out a bloodcurdling scream. His head was practically split down the middle from the force of Liam's strike, and the excruciating pain made him fall backward, passing out cold. In less than two minutes, Liam had rendered all of his opponents either unconscious or wailing in agony on the ground before him. This all happened so swiftly that the other customers and the restaurant staff all stood there, their mouths agape as they stared in disbelief at the sight before them.Now that the coast was clear, Corie finally emerged, but she s
They were just a few steps away from the door when Corie's outraged cry rang out across the room. The leader immediately balked and lunged for the door. He had just taken one step when Liam kicked a nearby chair so hard that it sailed across the room and struck the man on his calf!The chair splintered in half from the force of the impact, and the same happened to the poor man's bone!"Ahhhhh!" He screamed as his knees gave out beneath him, sending him crumpling to the floor. He clutched his broken leg, howling in agony. He had fallen so abruptly and uncontrollably that he did not even get the chance to break his fall. He fell face-first, his nose slamming into the leg of a toppled wooden table. He was quite a sight to behold, with his broken nose that spilled fresh blood down his face, along with a large gaping hole in his mouth from two fallen teeth.Liam took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it leisurely, then slowly sauntered over to the man. "Did I allow you to leave?"
Liam removed his foot from the man's wrist and stood there, scowling. He towered over his poor victim, waiting for the truth to come.The man wiped the sweat from his forehead; only he was bleeding so much that his sweat was intermingled with bright red blood. He said timidly, "Sir, I'll… I'll tell you everything… It was… it was the Yacanos who put us up to this… He sent us all a message ordering us to cripple you… Anyone who achieves that gets seventy-five grand for an arm and a hundred and fifty grand if it's a leg… If any one of us manages to… castrate you… they get a million dollars…"As he said this, he could not help sneaking a rather strange look at Liam's crotch. This, of course, did not escape Liam's hawk-like eyes, and he immediately scowled. The glint in his eyes was filled with murderous intent.The Yacanos! Of course it would be them! He should have known that Cirroc would not let him get away after their last encounter. Even then, he did not expect Cirroc to put a
How atrocious! How heinous!Corie could not stand it. How could Liam have possibly resisted her? She was known far and wide for her beauty and had never yet encountered a man who would not be swayed, until now.Corie cursed under her breath, and as she did so, an old man in a traditional outfit strode out of the restaurant, bringing with him a familiar scent of herbs. Clearly, this man spent most of his time researching herbs.Corie regained her composure and turned to the man, frowning slightly. "Mr. Gerwig, what took you so long to find me? Didn't you see what that goon almost did to me?"The old man glanced around him at the upturned tables and chairs, indicating the dismal state of the restaurant after the gang's rampage. He shook his head in resignation and explained, "Miss, it's not that I didn't want to rescue you, but I couldn't and didn't dare!""You didn't dare?" Corie echoed in puzzlement. "What do you mean by this, Mr. Gerwig?"The old man gazed in the direction Liam
Sunniva was being surrounded by a group of men who seemed to be fighting over something. All that could be heard were their gleeful chortles and Sunniva's occasional outraged shouts.It was clear from her flushed cheeks that she had been drinking. The men encircling her seemed to be trying to take advantage of her."Get away from me! Don't you dare come near me!" she snapped, wobbling as she shoved away a thug who was trying to grab at her. "Do you have any idea who I am? You better run if you know what's in it for you!"The thug snickered lewdly and, instead of being intimidated, reached out to stroke her rosy cheek. "Well, you're a feisty one, aren't you, gorgeous? Well, I like my women spicy! Come on, tell me, what's your name, darling!"Sunniva ducked away from him and snarled, "I'm the manager of Bristow Group's branch here in Drunham City, which also makes me the heiress of the Bristow family! You better lay off if you don't want to get in trouble with one of the most powerfu
There on the hospital bed, surrounded by beeping devices, laid a little girl who was covered in blood. Her life was hanging by a thread. Her mother, Celena Stone, was sitting next to the bed, holding her hands tightly. Celena was covered in tears. She forced herself to endure the pain deep down and comforted her daughter, "Be a good girl, Jovie. Your father will come back to see us as long as you're a good girl.""Mom, it hurts so much! Am I going to die soon? I want to see Dad. I'm not a bastard. My father is very powerful—"Before Jovie could finish, she started shaking all over because of the pain.After Celena saw Jovie fainted, she frantically took out her phone. While she cried and instinctively dialed the number she memorized for years, she said, "Be good, Jovie. I'll tell your father to come and see you now. Don't fall asleep, alright?"Once the call was picked up, Celena did not wait for the person to say anything. She immediately said, "Liam, I'm Celena. Could you com
A sense of guilt and rage washed over Liam.Upon hearing Liam's bellow, his subordinate accelerated without hesitation, flying them to Drunham City at top speed.Liam kept repeating Celena's and Jovie's names over and over again in his mind.He used to be the heir of the Cole family from Drunham City. Tied with the Walker family, they were the top families in the city.Seven years ago, Liam was married to his childhood friend, the eldest daughter of the Walkers.On the day of the wedding, the Walkers drugged his drink behind his back and dropped him in Celena's lounge. Celena's family—the Stones—were relatives of the Walkers.Later, both the Walkers and the Stones joined forces to make a fuss. They said they wanted to seek justice for Celena and the Walker family's daughter. They then took the opportunity to gobble up the Cole family's properties.The Cole family collapsed overnight. Their businesses were divided and properties were taken away. The Stones even wanted to take L
