"Sir, everything's in place according to the plan. The Pendragon Warriors have already arrived. However, there are so many of them that they cannot enter the city at once, so they have chosen to wait on the outskirts instead."As for the Pendragon Warriors who were unable to make it due to their stations outside the city, they regret their absence but have sent their congratulations via a livestream!"Liam nodded, looking pleased, then asked, "That's great. Thanks. How about the Green Dragon Warriors?""The Green Dragon Warriors arrived in Drunham City yesterday. They should be waiting for you at the Sunflower Hotel as we speak. The nationwide representatives have arrived as well."This reminds me, sir. The Four Elders and the four commanders-in-chief of the military regions were unable to attend out of consideration of keeping their identities secret, so they have sent their blessings via livestream as well!" Calum sounded overjoyed when he relayed this information and kept adjust
Wasyl, Cheryl, and the Stones stared, jaws slack with horror at the sight before them. They could not believe their eyes.Cheryl had to pinch herself hard on her thigh to make sure she was not dreaming. The jolt of pain was enough of an indication that she was not imagining all this."What… What's going on here?""Wait! Look at the car in the lead! There are flowers strapped to the front of it! It's clearly a car belonging to the groom!""I… I can see that too! You're talking about the car with the license plate 001 right? Is this possible? Could that car possibly be Liam's?""My goodness! I'm still convinced I'm dreaming! How could Liam have afforded all this?""The five military regions congratulated him, all the most important people in the nation having come personally to attend his wedding, and now, he even has King Pendragon's personal vehicle to escort him to his wedding…""I must be dreaming! What's going on? Didn't they say that Liam was just a freeloader? If that's tru
"What… What's happening?""Why are all these people congratulating Liam and Celena? What… What is Liam's true identity?""Hold on a moment! The chiefs of the four military regions all showed up in the video, but one is missing!""The Pendragon War Zone! Hold on, this reminds me… Liam served the Pendragon War Zone, didn't he?"Everyone recalled the video that they had just watched, and as King Pendragon's car slowly approached, a terrifying thought formed in their minds.The chiefs of the four military regions had all sent in their congratulations, save for the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon War Zone, the King Pendragon!Was it possible that… Liam was King Pendragon himself?There was no time for speculation, however, because the procession had finally arrived at the Sunflower Hotel!Everyone waited with bated breath, their eyes fixated on the procession.The car doors swung open, and four generals stepped out, clutching velvet boxes with red satin clothes draped over them
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
At that moment, a few men in black barged into the emergency room of Drunham City Hospital and kicked out all the doctors who were checking up on Jovie.When Celena saw that, she lost her mind and rushed forward to stop them. "Who are you? What are you trying to do?"She was no match for those bodyguards at all. She was grabbing a man, but with a wave from him, Celena was shoved to the side and fell to the ground.She could not be bothered with the pain she felt. She wailed and begged on her knees, "I'm begging you, please. Please save my daughter! I'm willing to pay any price. Just save her!""Oh? Any price will do?" a man outside the emergency room answered Celena's plea.Celena could hear the sound of the leather shoes tapping on the floor. It sounded like Death was approaching, and it made Celena's heart sink with every single tap it made.Then, a young handsome man opened the door and walked into the emergency room. He sneered as he looked at Celena, who was on the floor.T
After saying that, Trent took out his handkerchief and helped Celena up. As he gently wiped the blood stain off the corner of Celena's face, she did her best to endure it as she had no guts to resist.Trent ordered, "I'll give you ten minutes to clean yourself up. I'll wait for you outside. Don't even think about pulling any tricks. Just think about it carefully. Who else in the entire Drunham City would dare to help you if you do."Upon saying that, he leaned in and whispered into Celena's ears, "I really can't wait to have the most beautiful woman in the city under me, begging me for mercy. Hahaha."Trent left the emergency room, feeling satisfied. He told his subordinates at the door, "Keep a good eye on the emergency room later. Nobody's allowed to go in and save that b*stard!""We understand, Mr. Walker!"Celena was kneeling next to the bed in the room. She gently wiped off the teardrops at the corner of Jovie's eyes and comforted her, "You're a good girl, Jovie. Don't be sca
"All of you are bad people! My dad will beat you up. Dad!"Jovie was already in a critical condition, so crying and struggling so much made her suddenly throw up some blood. Then, she lost consciousness because her oxygen mask was yanked off.The medical personnel were incredibly saddened to see that. That was a human life that was fading away. All of them teared.One of them could not hold it in anymore. He tossed the files in his hands on the floor and acted like he was about to rush into the emergency room. However, he ended up being violently beaten up by a few people instead.Nobody else dared to make any reckless moves anymore after they saw what happened to him.They had no idea how the child offended Trent. They had no clue where her father was either. He still did not show up.Suddenly, a few military helicopters appeared in the sky above the hospital!Everybody in the hospital ran to see who it was. The medical staff at the door to the emergency room went to the window
