As the man approached, he carried the unmistakable presence of someone who's long held power. Close on his heels was another man, similarly attired.

The two emerged in succession, and Liam gave a respectful nod to the first man, addressing him as 'Your Majesty.'

The man in black, his demeanor composed and a subtle smile playing on his lips, gestured slightly with his hand, "Stand, King Pendragon. You're now the most influential name in all of Biskeland."

While they talked, the king moved toward the chessboard arranged in the center of the hall and signaled Liam to join him.

"We haven't played chess in ages. Let's have a match."

Liam acknowledged with a small nod and advanced to sit across from the king, legs crossed.

As the king took his seat, the man in the gray suit maintained a respectful distance, standing three paces behind him.

That was the powerhouse of Biskeland, the mightiest force to be reckoned with! His true strength was a mystery, rumored to have exceeded even that

    Liam chuckled at the king's words and cut to the chase, "So, what's your game plan, Your Majesty?"The king looked up at Liam with a booming laugh. "Hahaha, my boy, you haven't changed a bit—always in a rush. I haven't even laid out my whole plan..."Liam's eyes stayed glued to the chessboard, his expression serious as he watched the game unfold. "Your Majesty, we soldiers live to serve our country. We're not schooled in the art of politics. If you have a strategy, please lay it out for us. We're ready to follow your lead."The king's hand, poised with a black piece, hesitated—whether from Liam's words or the unfolding game, it was hard to tell. He spoke, "Given the current state of affairs, this move is quite the gamble, and I must say, quite unexpected!"Liam, it's been ages since our last game of chess. You've really sharpened your skills."The king paused, eyeing the chessboard before casually tossing his black pieces back into the box. "Enough, we'll leave it at that," he dec

    Rising from the chessboard, the king spoke again, "The return of Prince Faber is a boon for Biskeland, raising our stature among Westernia. Naturally, we can't afford to lose a commander of your caliber."With that, he stood by the window, hands clasped behind him, gazing out at the Crystal Elegance Pavilion.As he took in the view, he drew a deep breath and added, "But you, Liam, you're a man who sees the grand scheme of things. For the sake of Biskeland's future, sometimes, no matter how painful, we must be willing to make sacrifices."Liam showed no sign of surprise at the king's words as if he had anticipated that very conversation and promptly stood to offer a crisp military salute.Liam spoke up, "Your Majesty, I've got it all figured out, and there's no need for you to worry about me. I've been meaning to hang up my boots and head back home for a while now; just never found the right time to do it."Today, I'm stepping forward to hand in my resignation, to step down as the

    A frosty gaze gleamed in Liam's eyes as he said with a serious expression, "The Yeager family is powerful and also a force to be reckoned with, but the grudge between us has to be settled. Some people might be dragged into this when the time comes, so I hope Your Majesty could step in."Seeing that Liam meant business, the king said nothing more. He simply nodded and replied, "I know your character. Once you make up your mind about something, you'll go through with it. I promise I'll step in and resolve the issue for you no matter who you drag into this when the time comes.""Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liam saluted the king and left.The king stood in the main hall of Crystal Elegance Palace and watched Liam's back as he left while having an indescribable gaze.Nasir stood behind the king, and his gaze was also fixed on Liam as he asked, "Your Majesty, the Yeager family is one of the Four Ancient Families. They are involved with the other three families. If Liam were to suddenly att

    Timothy was looking very upset. Glaring at Liam, he barked, "What's wrong with you, Liam? What did we tell you? We told you not to do anything rash. But what did you do instead?""That's right! I can't believe you resigned on your own volition! What exactly are you trying to do?""What are you playing at, you brat? The Pendragon War Zone is your life's work. And you're just going to give it away?""You're going to give me a heart attack! I desperately want to beat you into a pulp now! You're too impulsive!"The Four Elders took turns reprimanding Liam. All of them were upset. Their voices were filled with disappointment since Liam let them down.Timothy gave it a thought and said in an icy voice, "You already have a family, yet you're still so reckless. You're still so young, yet you're retiring already. We're all getting up there, but aren't we still staying on our posts?"Geoffrey was furious. He raised his hand and smacked Liam's head with all his might before he said, "Kid, g

    In other words, the Yeager family was not the only one Liam wanted to attack.Timothy and others frowned upon hearing that. They knew a little about the grudge that Liam was talking about.It was because of that bit of knowledge that they knew how tough Liam had it in the past. That was why they were extra forgiving toward him.Michael looked at Liam and asked, "Kid, have you thought about the consequences of attacking the Yeager family?"Liam's expression darkened. He nodded and said nothing else.Seeing that, the others fell silent for a moment. Then they all let out a sigh as if they gave in.Timothy was still worried, so he asked, "Have you really thought it through, kid? The Yeagers aren't just any family. Once you've made your move, there's no turning back anymore."Of course, Liam knew what they were worried about. If the Yeager family had been easy to mess with, they would not have been standing firm for years and got to where they were.However, so what?Liam absolute

    Keyon smiled and gestured to Prince Faber to sit down. Then, he said with a smile, "You're too kind. There's no need to mention it. The head of my family has said before that we would do everything we can to help you, no matter what you need."Prince Faber was a little more relaxed as soon as he heard that. As he nodded and sat down, he gave a signal with his eyes to a man behind him who was in a military uniform.The man then walked over with a box that had a vintage pattern carved on it and handed it to Prince Faber respectfully.Prince Faber pushed the box to Keyon after he received it and said with a grin, "Mr. Yeager, I've spent three years and found one of the remaining pages of the Arcane Manuscript from the Cole family back then. It's right here in this box. Please help me hand it to the head of your family."Keyon immediately put down his cup and straightened his back. He had a solemn expression as he looked at that box.After he accepted the box, his hands shook a little

    Keyon knew very well what this page represented."Prince Faber, you've done us a big favor by gifting this to the Yeager family!" With great excitement, Keyon grabbed Prince Faber's hand and continued, "Don't worry. Once I return, I'll tell my family head. We'll certainly reward you handsomely to thank you when the time comes."Keyon would make a huge contribution if he could bring the Arcane Manuscript back to the Yeager family. His status within the Yeager family would certainly be elevated, and the head of the family would highly value him.Prince Faber grabbed Keyon's hand and said humbly, "Haha. It's my honor to be able to help the Yeager family. I heard that you were looking for this. It's good as long as you like it. I'll need your help to put in a good word for me with your head of the family.""Hahaha. No problem." Keyon burst out laughing. He patted Prince Faber's shoulders like they were friends and continued, "Don't worry, Prince Faber. I'll put in a good word for you.

    At that moment, Liam's right to be the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors was being taken away from him. Black Rose and countless military officers who went to war with Liam could not accept it.Liam's expression darkened after he heard what the crowd said and saw how worked up they were. He snatched the rifle away from Black Rose and barked, "Black Rose! What are you guys doing? This is nonsense! It's too ridiculous!"What have I taught you? What do you take this place for? This is the Pendragon War Zone. It's Biskelan's Pendragon War Zone. Do you know what your actions mean right now?"Have you thought about the consequences of your actions? Get your ass back to your post right now! Do whatever you're supposed to do!"Upon saying that, Liam threw the gun back into Black Rose's arms and barked icily, "You too! Hurry up and get back there!""I'm not going back, sir! On what grounds can they make you leave as soon as Prince Faber is back?" said Black Rose.She hugged her

    Liam saw Sunniva was up and wasted no time, saying. "Ms. Bristow, we've got gang trouble at the hotel. It's not safe. We're bailing to a new place," he said.Without skipping a beat, Liam and Sunniva were out of there, speeding off to another hotel in the car.Little did they know, as soon as they left, a convoy of black SUVs pulled up ominously at the hotel's grand entrance.The streets surrounding the hotel suddenly buzzed with the arrival of several new cars. Their occupants spilled out, pacing the perimeter with a clear intent to surveil.From the lineup of rugged SUVs at the hotel's entrance, a squad of men clad in black, brandishing weapons burst forth. They stormed the hotel, their presence ominous and unchallenged.The receptionists, staff, and patrons were petrified, cowering in corners, none daring to confront the intruders.The men made a beeline for Liam's last known location, only to find the room deserted.The ringleader cursed under his breath, "Damn it! He's slip

    Each victim was marked with a triangle tattoo, a calling card that did not go unnoticed. Someone had snapped a picture of it before the hotel staff even showed up and had split.Liam passed the photo to Cirocco and Calum, and it hit them like a ton of bricks. Calum scrunched up his face and said, "Sir, this is Alpha's tag. They're big-time hitmen around Rasford City."They're known for their love of curved blades, and that triangle is their signature."Cirocco had been doing some digging too and came back with chilling news about Noel. "Sir, we got the why. Someone's put a three million dollar price tag on your head, right there on the hit list!""Moreover, the bounty was so colossal that it had all the shadowy players in Rasford City licking their chops. A coalition of forces was now banding together, plotting a takedown that had you in their crosshairs."Cirocco's face was a mask of ice as he spoke, and Calum's features were twisted in a scowl.Liam chuckled darkly, the quint

    The new plan was a hit; every assassin in the room was on board.One of them, posing as a bellhop, stood at Liam's door, ready to knock.However, he never saw it coming. Before his knuckles could rap on the door, it burst open from the inside.Wham!The would-be knocker was sent flying, slamming into the corridor wall with a thunderous crash.The others barely had time to register what happened when Liam burst out, a quintuple-edged dagger in hand.He was a shadow among them, his blade a flash of silver that danced across their wrists, disarming them of their scimitars.In moments, the hallway was a cacophony of clattering blades and piercing screams that filled the hotel.The leader, clutching his bleeding wrist, stared at Liam in horror, leaning casually against the doorframe. Liam's dagger dripped crimson. He watched the fallen assassins with an unfeeling smirk."You think you can play assassins, skulking around in the dark?" Liam's voice dripped with scorn. With a casual f

    Noel was a name that turned heads in Rasford City, especially since the Noel family ran a successful pharmaceutical business. In any place, those in the medicine game hold sway, and Noel was no stranger to the city's shadowy bigwigs. After all, nobody was immune to getting sick!Noel was quickly taken to the hospital for emergency care. Meanwhile, the assassin he had hired had pinpointed the hotel where Liam and Sunniva were hiding out.Sunniva was still visibly shaken when they reached the hotel. Too frightened to be alone, she could only gaze at Liam with watery eyes, silently pleading to stay in his room.Liam, left with little choice, let Sunniva take his room while he made do with the couch in the living room.After the night's earlier ordeal, combined with the alcohol and the drug slipped into her drink, Sunniva washed up and promptly fell asleep in Liam's bed.Liam, however, remained on the living room sofa, poring over the mysterious Arcane Manuscript.Out of nowhere,

    "Thud!"Then, without missing a beat, Liam grabbed Noel by the throat and landed another punch on him. He struck him squarely on the chin, dislocating it and forcing a couple more of his teeth to fly out. "Ahhh!" Noel shrieked. His face was swelling up to twice its usual size, and he could not help letting out a cry of agony. Liam did not stop there, though. His fists rained down all over Noel without ceasing, his every punch striking where it hurt the most. "F*ck! You're going to pay for this!" Noel grunted. He would make this twat pay! What gave him the right to attack him? He was an heir of the great Noel bloodline, and he would make this cocky, self-righteous prat pay!Liam scoffed, then swung his fist and struck Noel squarely in his abdomen.Noel spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to utter another word from the sheer pain, but this did not stop Liam. The next moment, he grabbed Noel by the hair and bashed his head against the wall behind him.A sickening crunch alerted

    The words had barely left her mouth when Noel lost his patience, swung Sunniva around and slapped her hard across the cheek. "D*mn it, you f*cking sl*t! What the f*ck are you shouting for? Let me tell you this—no one will come to save you, not even if you cry yourself hoarse!"The slap came so abruptly that Sunniva was momentarily stunned. Her cheek soon swelled up, and a bright red mark in the shape of Noel's palm began to take shape. Noel had hit her so hard that the back of her head struck the wall behind her, and all she could feel was an intense, throbbing pain that reverberated through her skull. Blood seeped out of the cut on the back of her head, and she could feel the warm liquid trickle down her neck. She suddenly felt strangely faint and stopped resisting. Noel seized the opportunity to strip her naked, grinning. "Ms. Bristow, I suggest you stop wasting your energy. You're mine tonight, and there's no running now!"He had long since heard of Sunniva's beauty, and he was

    "Mr. Noel? What is the meaning of this?" Sunniva shrieked in alarm. Noel was wiping his face with a towel when she spoke, and upon hearing her voice, he slowly moved toward her. "Ms. Bristow, do I really need to spell this out for you? You're a gorgeous woman, and I admire you very much. There's nothing to be afraid of, darling. We're all adults here, so there's no need to be shy. I promise that I'll make this the most memorable night you've ever had. "Ms. Bristow, do you know how many women would die to be in your position? Women everywhere bend over backwards to keep me happy, and most of them are willing to please me just to get my business. If you still want this partnership, you better be a good girl and keep me satisfied. If not…"Noel trailed off, for at this point, he had already reached the bed and was just inches away from Sunniva. His flesh quivered with his every move, and he was so tall that he loomed over Sunniva's tiny body like a beast eyeing its prey. "You… you

    Noel was not used to being rejected so outwardly. Sunniva's indifference infuriated him greatly. He scoffed, then brought his hand up to his nose and took a deep breath as if trying to catch a whiff of any scent that Sunniva had left on his skin. He sneered. "Ms. Bristow, it seems you are intent on challenging me?"Sunniva replied curtly, "So what if I am?""Very well then! You like to do things the hard way, eh? Let me make this clear—the moment you step out the door, the partnership will be called off! I will no longer do business with Bristow Group!"The audacity!With a smug grin, Noel cast Sunniva one last look before returning to his seat. He watched her coolly and made no move to stop her from leaving again, for he knew he had her cornered. Sunniva stood rooted to the spot, her brows furrowed in deep concentration. Noel knew he had Sunniva caught in a dead-end situation. He smirked and raised his glass to his lips. "How about this, Ms. Bristow? Just one last drink with

    A glimmer of annoyance flashed through Noel's eyes, but he continued to reach toward Sunniva, grinning. "Ms. Bristow, I really, really admire you…"Sunniva froze. The next moment, she leaped to her feet, still holding her wine glass, and ducked out of Noel's reach. She replied, raising his glass in an attempt to disguise her nervousness, "Mr. Noel, I greatly admire your success as a businessman as well. Cheers to our partnership!"Noel's arm hovered in mid-air, looking awkward and forlorn as it dangled out of reach of its target. A strained silence fell over them. The tension lasted only a few minutes, though, because Noel soon regained his composure and drew his arm back. He clinked his glass against Sunniva's as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened. The two of them had been drinking for quite some time now, and Noel was growing more and more inebriated by the minute. He was a pale man, and so the alcohol gave him an unnatural flush that made him look as though he was
