Liam asked icily, "I'll ask you once again. Are you going to apologize on your knees or not?"As he said that, he suddenly felt the urge to kill again, and his murderous intent gleamed in his eyes. It was so strong that even Nevaeh sensed it from the side.Nevaeh was taken aback by the way Liam looked. She did not think that Liam would truly want to kill Wasyl. She wanted to pull him away, but she was frightened by Liam's murderous gaze.Seeing the miserable state Wasyl was in, Nevaeh stomped her feet and shouted anxiously, "Liam, what are you doing? Stop right now! You're going to kill him if you continue attacking him! That's illegal. Do you know that?"It was after he heard Nevaeh's words that Wasyl noticed she was wearing a police uniform. As if he found hope, he shouted, "Police! You're a police officer! Quick! Save me! Liam has gone mad! He wants to kill me! Hurry up and arrest him! I want to sue him! Hurry up and detain him!"Nevaeh looked torn. She glanced at Liam and then
Although he had gotten on his knees and apologized as Liam asked, Wasyl was secretly seething. He wanted nothing more than to throttle Liam on the spot! He was gritting his teeth so hard that he felt like they would shatter. With his head bent low, he silently swore to himself that he would get his revenge one day! He could not allow Liam to humiliate him like this!No one had ever humiliated Wasyl Abbott and gotten away with it!Wasyl furtively shot Liam a murderous glare, then staggered to his feet and made to leave.The next moment, however, Liam turned to him, having saved the video from just now, and said curtly, "Hold up! Did I say you could leave?"Wasyl froze, a lump beginning to form in his throat. Then, after rearranging his features into an expression of subservience, he turned around and asked nervously, "Didn't… didn't you say that you'd spare me as long as I got on my knees and apologized?"Liam raised his brows in slight amusement. "I said I'd spare you if you did t
Wasyl shook his head furiously and turned him down. "Liam, this is atrocious! This is daylight robbery! Ten million dollars? That's too much!"The smile on Liam's face faltered and was replaced by a scowl. His dark, penetrating eyes were fixated on Wasyl as he boomed, "So what if it is? You should've thought about the consequences of your actions when you tried to attack me!"Ignoring the look of terror on Wasyl's face, he added, "You think ten million dollars is a lot? Well, surely it's a small, small price to pay for both you and your father's lives? Not to mention it will also guarantee your entire family's safety here in Drunham City. Do you still think it's too much to give then?"Wasyl froze. A spine-tingling chill went down his spine the moment he locked eyes with Liam, and he was trembling as if he were standing in subzero Antarctica.Nevaeh seemed equally as astounded. She seemed unable to comprehend how Liam had the audacity to not only physically assault Wasyl but even v
"Hold it right there!" Nevaeh stepped forward, blocking Liam's way. Then, without missing a beat, she swung her leg, aiming straight at Liam's shoulder.She was utterly infuriated! How dare Liam attempt to assault a civilian right under her nose and think he could get away with it? She snarled, "I never said you could leave!"Liam raised his brows in slight amusement when he saw her foot soaring through the air toward him. Instead of ducking, however, he grabbed hold of her ankle in mid-air and said, grinning mischievously, "Officer Scott, as nice as I've been to you, you should know that I have my limits. I'm not always so patient."Nevaeh was now wobbling precariously, trying to balance on one leg as Liam gripped her other. She writhed, trying to pry herself free. "Let go of me!" she shrieked as she thrashed wildly, but Liam's grip was as solid as a rock. This only infuriated Nevaeh more, for aside from just keeping her in this strange position, Liam was beginning to eye her i
Nevertheless, as enticing the idea of teasing Nevaeh was, Liam had better things to do; he had to get home as soon as possible so he could spend time with his beloved wife."Hey, Officer Scott, look! They're getting away! Get them!" Liam shrieked all of a sudden, his eyes wide with panic as he pointed somewhere behind her.Nevaeh immediately whipped around, prepared to chase after the escaping thugs, but to her surprise, all she could see was the same men lying on the ground, whimpering and howling in agony. They were in so much pain they could barely get up, much less try to escape!They shook their heads, terrified that they would receive another beating, and screeched, "No, no! We're not trying to run! We wouldn't dare…""Spare us, officer! Don't hit me! I'm not going anywhere!""We're not trying to run, officer. Please have mercy on us…"A jolt of startling realization swept over Nevaeh, and she immediately turned around, but it was too late. Liam was already too far away for
Liam pressed her back down onto the sofa. He gave her a reassuring smile, but his eyes remained fixated on the living room window. "Don't move, darling. Just stay low. Something interesting is about to happen."Celena froze. Liam's face was tilted at an angle away from hers, so she could not read his expression and figure out if he was joking. Nevertheless, the flirtatious undertones in his voice made her blush, and she replied, crooning, "Liam…"She wanted to ask him what he was trying to get out, but all of a sudden, Liam grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. As he turned, she finally caught sight of his face, and she did not like the look on it. He was making her nervous, and she could feel a lump forming in her throat. She opened her mouth to ask him what was going on, but…Thud!Without warning, the window shattered, raining broken glass everywhere and making Celena jump. The color drained from her face. The next moment, three men dressed from head to toe in black le
In the split second that the three of them were all stunned, Liam seized the moment to strike; his fist made contact with the man closest to him, and the impact was such that the intruder flew several feet into the air before finally slamming into the coffee table. He spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at Liam, eyes wide with horror.The two other intruders did not hesitate to retaliate. Their blades glinted menacingly as they soared through the air, aimed straight at Liam's chest!The two of them had acted so swiftly that it was clear that they were hoping to put an end to this once and for all, with no intention of letting Liam live.Liam furrowed his brows slightly. Then, with a swift move, he shoved Celena out of the way and behind the sofa. At the same time, he reached out to grab one of his attackers' arms. His reflexes were so lightning-quick that none of the intruders even saw this coming. Without mercy, Liam gave his victim's arm a sharp twist, snapping it clean in h
This was the least of her worries, though. Celena quickly trotted over to Liam and asked, grabbing his arm nervously, "Liam, are you hurt?"Liam shook his head, then turned to glance coldly at the three limp figures on the floor before him. One was already dead, one was crippled, and the other was about to be.Liam sneered and said curtly, "The Yeagers are as efficient as always. Why didn't they at least let me settle in first?"The two remaining assassins, both of whom were writhing and howling in agony, immediately stopped, clearly at an utter loss of what to say. They seemed surprised that Liam had worked it out so quickly. Their shock lasted only a few moments. Soon, they regained their composure and slowly staggered to their feet. One of them had suffered broken ribs, whereas the other had his entire arm fractured. As a result, neither of them could move freely, and it took them a long time to finally get to their feet, holding onto the wall for support. One of the men look
