The fighters who were present did not even dare to imagine how strong Cirocco must have been.Cirocco was indifferent as he looked icily at Grayson, who was being crushed under the broken stones. Then, he said, "I told you you've grossly underestimated me."At that moment, Grayson was lying on the ground and was still in a daze. He could not believe that he was defeated by Cirocco in just one punch.He was not the only one who could not believe it. All the fighters from the Whistleblowers felt the same.As everybody watched in shock, Liam walked up to Grayson with a hand in his pocket.Liam stood in front of the pile of broken stones and looked down at Grayson, who was on the ground and covered in blood. Liam's gaze was frosty and unsympathetic. It was as if he was looking at a corpse. Grayson could not help but feel a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart.Grayson forced himself to endure the excruciating pain all over his phone. He was buried under the broken stones, so it
At that juncture, Grayson would be willing to do anything.In comparison to his life, his ego and everything else were nothing.Liam nodded upon hearing that, seeming like he kind of believed him. "Perfect! Since you're willing to abandon the Quantz family, you'll have to help me do something right now. If you do it well, I'll spare your life."If you don't do it well, I'll kill you. Don't question my ability. I'll be able to find you no matter where you run off to."Grayson was terrified upon hearing that. Not daring to have any objections, he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, sir. Just give me the order. I'll do anything you ordered me to do even if I have to go through fire and water."He was afraid that Liam did not believe him, so he quickly raised his hand as he spoke as if he was swearing an oath.Grayson was not overreacting at all. Liam was simply too terrifying. He was a million times more terrifying than any big shot Grayson ever met before.He experienced the murderous
"Also, tell the others to behave these few days. Don't cross anybody that they shouldn't be crossing," Grayson ordered.He used up almost all of his energy after giving all those others, so he lay listlessly on the couch, letting the doctor take care of his injuries.Meanwhile, Liam and Cirocco left Llyne Village. After they got into the car, Cirocco could not hold back his confusion and asked, "Why didn't you kill Grayson earlier?"Liam replied with a smile, "What's the purpose for us to come to Luminous, Cirocco?"Cirocco had no idea why Liam asked that, so he answered, "To destroy the Quantz family."Liam nodded with a smile and added, "It's very easy to kill Grayson. But other than killing him, we can use him."He has a close relationship with the Quantz family. He knew the family's properties better than us. On top of that, we just arrived at Luminous. Many things would be inconvenient for us to do."So, we can use Grayson and get him to attack the Quantz family. It's also
"Tell the others not to fight with the Whistleblowers for now. I'll contact Grayson right away and find out what the hell is going on," said Heston, who immediately called Grayson after that.As soon as the call got through, Heston questioned in a frosty voice, "Grayson, what the hell is wrong with you?""Haha. Why did the head of the Quantz family suddenly call me? Did something happen?" replied Grayson.His voice was so frosty that it made Heston frown. That was because Heston sensed that something was off with Grayson's tone that day.Heston did not have enough time to think about it carefully. He immediately said, "Stop trying to beat around the bush, Grayson. What the hell is up with your people? Why did they suddenly attack the properties of my family and injure my people?"Heston was already swamped because of the collaboration with Mr. Miller.In addition, Cillian deliberately kept Mr. Miller's whereabouts a secret, which made him incredibly furious.Heston became even m
"If money is tight for the Whistleblowers, you can just tell me. What my family has the most is money. But you came after my family's properties. You're embarrassing my family in front of everybody!"Grayson, I'm warning you. Get your men out of my properties right now. Don't blame me for not showing you mercy if you don't do it!" Heston barked.What made him even more angry was how cocky Grayson was to him at that moment. How dare he talk to Heston with that attitude.The Whistleblowers were just a small group in Luminous back then. If it was not for the Quantz family backing them up behind the scenes, they never would have gotten to where they were, dominating the gangs in Luminous."Haha. What are you going to do? I'll give it to you straight. I'm going to take all your family's properties."Grayson could not be bothered wasting time talking to Heston anymore. Once he was done talking, he hung up the call without giving Heston a chance to respond."You—" Heston was incensed. H
If they were not suppressed by the people back then, the Ferguson family probably would have become the top family in Luminous.It was because the Ferguson family had too much buzz around them that someone in high places pinned a random crime on the Ferguson twins and arrested them. They were locked up for more than ten years.The Ferguson family's status took a nosedive after Kethan and Arian got arrested. Then, they gradually fall out of the public eye.After Kethan and Arian were released, they stayed in Southern Precinct and started Nebula Inn to do some small business to get by.Both the twins were skilled fighters. The technique that was passed down for generations within the Ferguson family, the Deluge Punch, attracted countless people to their door as they wanted to learn.Rumor had it back then that the Ferguson twins were already at the level of God of War. However, years passed since then, and nobody knew how skilled they were at that moment.Hugo had always been livin
The door to Nebula Inn was wide open. There were wooden tables and chairs in the main hall, and it looked just like the old taverns on television.A stage was set up on one side of the hall, and performers dressed in vintage clothes were performing on it.Once Hugo's car came to a halt, he walked straight in and stopped one of the servers. He went straight to the point, saying, "Where is your boss? Take me to your boss."At first, the server was stunned. After he regained his senses, he asked, "May I know why you are looking for my boss?"Hugo was a little anxious as he said, "I'm Hugo Quantz. Where is your boss? I want to meet him."Once the server heard the Quantz family's name, he turned to his side, pointing to a big door at the back as he said, "My boss is in there, Mr. Quantz."Hugo walked toward the door upon saying that. Once he pushed the door open, he found himself in the backyard of the building.There were a few racks in the middle of the backyard with a few pigs and
Arian suddenly stopped in his tracks after taking a few steps. He looked back at Hugo and asked, "May I know what Heston wants me to do?"Hugo quickly explained, "He wants you to help our family to take care of a person.""Take care of a person?""Grayson from the Whistleblowers," Hugo replied."Grayson?" Arian asked.His eyebrows furrowed. His frosty eyes locked with Hugo's as he sneered and said, "Everyone in Luminous knew about your family's relationship with Grayson from the Whistleblower.."Arian was surveying Hugo as he spoke. Then, he continued, "Why would you suddenly want us to step in and take care of Grayson for you?"They raised the watchdog for years, but they were bitten by it in the end.Hugo was a little embarrassed by the question. After he gave it a thought, he explained, "It's true that my family had a close relationship with Grayson. But nobody can be foes forever, and the same applies to friends."Today, Grayson had his men from the Whistleblowers take ove
However, Andy was a smooth talker, so the eldest member of the Drayton family liked him. Because of that, the head of the family tolerated him. That was why Andy, who was just a member of the branch family, dared to be so cocky.Andy saw Howard standing at the side from the corner of his eye as he spoke. He thought of what Howard said earlier, and that made his blood boil.He pointed at Howard and bellowed, "Uncle Derrick, this Howard is trash as well. You have no idea. I told him I was a member of the Drayton family, yet he did not take our family seriously at all."Not only did he have his men capture me, but he said cockily that he wanted to lock me up forever, and nobody could stop him."Weren't you very cocky before this, Mr. Mosier? Go on. Continue acting cocky in front of my uncle now. Detain me and lock me up forever."Andy took a couple of steps closer to Howard as he said that. He extended his hands arrogantly and said, "Come on. I have my hands stretched out for you. Hu
Soon, Andy and the thugs from the nightclub yesterday were released.Andy saw Derrick standing at the entrance of the police headquarters at a glance. He got so excited that he shouted, "Uncle Derrick! Uncle Derrick!"Fletcher's subordinates were incredibly excited to see Derrick as well. All of them shouted, "Mr. Derrick Drayton!"One of the subordinates was in Drunham City because Derrick arranged for him to be there. After he was brought to Derrick's side, he smiled apologetically and said, "Thank you for saving me, sir. Don't worry. Fletcher's faction and properties are all here. I'll be able to rebuild the faction here very soon."In other words, even if Fletcher was out of the picture, he would be able to thrive in Drunham City and replace Fletcher.However, Derrick shot an icy glare at him and sneered. "Hmph! How shameless of you to say that? There are so many of you, yet you can't deal with a small loser who only married into the Stone family."If it wasn't because this w
Howard did not expect that the Drayton family would have a connection with the Carter family. They could even produce a token from the Carter family."Mr. Derrick Drayton, I didn't expect that your family and the Carters go way back. You even got the Carter family's token out," said Howard.Derrick sneered and said, "Enough with the nonsense. Howard, my family did the Carter family a favor back then, that's why the general of the Carter family gave this token to us. He promised us that we could take out this token if we were ever in a bind in the future, and they would help us!"I'm taking out this token today to tell you that I'm going to bail Andy out of here. I'd like to see who in Drunham City has the guts to stop me!"Howard was stunned, and then he fell silent.He did not think that Derrick would take out a token from the Carter family.The Carter family was the top family in Mirstone. Nobody in Mirstone would dare to go against the Carter family. Derrick became even more
Meanwhile, Derrick and his men were already at the entrance of the police headquarters.Derrick's eyes were burning with rage as he looked at the door that was shut tightly. A sneer appeared on his lips as he said, "Hmph. Looks like they already know I'm coming, so they are deliberately trying to assert dominance."Then, he asked his driver next to him, "Where are our men? Have they all arrived?"The driver nodded and said, "They're here, Mr. Derrick. They are all waiting at the side. We'll tear down the main door to the police headquarters once you give the command."Derrick nodded with satisfaction. Then, he shouted at the police headquarters, "Howard! You're just the chief of the police headquarters! How dare you lock me outside?""I'd like to see how powerful you are today, Howard! Come on, guys. Take it down!"At his command, a group of burly men rushed out of the black van next to him. They were all holding thick bats, and they rushed up to the door ferociously.Right at t
At first, Yafe and the rest of the Stone family were stunned after they heard what Liam said. Then, they all burst out laughing.Yafe looked at Liam with a mocking gaze and said, "Are you kidding me, Liam? You're going to get the Draytons to come and apologize in person? Come on, that's the Drayton family we're talking about! Do you think they are just some nobody?"Right now, I don't want to waste my breath anymore. As long as you're able to stop the Drayton family from targeting us, I'm more than grateful. Don't you forget that you're the one who wanted to leave the Stone family? So, stop dragging us into your mess."Liam shot the crowd with an icy glare and brought Celena out of the Stone Mansion.Celena was still in a slight daze after they got into the car. Liam put on her safety belt for her and asked, "What's the matter, dear? Are you still worried about the Draytons?"Celena nodded and replied, "Yes. After all, all these were caused by the conflict between Andy and us. Jus
Liam wanted to ask what the family heirloom was, but he had no choice but to let it be after he heard what Yonatan said.However, Liam heard Yonatan's voice again, saying, "I've never seen that thing, but I heard from the Drayton family members that it was from a big shot in the military."The military?Liam's eyebrows furrowed once he heard it had something to do with the military. Then, he kicked Yonatan away, making him land next to the thugs.Yonatan passed out because of that kick.Once the thugs saw their leader was out cold, they took a couple of steps back in fear.However, Liam did not care about them at all. He looked at Yafe and the others instead.Once the Stone family members saw that they were out of the woods, they became cocky again.Yafe and Sherah, in particular, were so cocky that they ran up to Liam and condemned him, "Look what you've done! You're bad luck! What else can you do other than cause us trouble? Do you know who that is? He is from the Drayton fam
Yonatan was infuriated and bellowed, "So this is how you're going to play! Alright! I'm not going to stop until I kill you today!"Yonatan was radiating an intense desire to battle. That was the air exuded by a fighter of Fourth Order War King caliber.The Stone family was so frightened by the air he exuded that their faces turned pale. All of them took more than ten steps back in fear, afraid they would be injured by mistake.Yonatan clenched his fist and charged at Liam like a ferocious beast. His fist was packing so much power that it created a sonic boom, cutting through the air and going for Liam's face.The punch was so powerful that it could kill a bull right away.The Stone family thought Liam was going to die. Nobody would be able to survive a punch like that.Yonatan thought the same. He was very confident in his ability. He looked into Liam and knew he used to be a soldier, as well as a good fighter. However, so what?No matter how skilled Liam was in combat, could he
The moment Liam stepped into view, the Stone family members lit up as if they had spotted their guardian angel. They pointed at him, their voices rising in a chorus of relief and accusation. "Mr. Yonatan, look over here! It's Liam! I said they weren't with us!""Exactly! Mr. Yonatan, see for yourself, Liam's not part of our family!""Mr. Yonatan, now that Liam's here, if you're looking to pin the blame on someone, he's your man!""Liam, you actually showed up. If you hadn't crossed the Drayton family, would we, the Stones, have ever been dragged into this mess?""Liam, Celena, you two are nothing but trouble. You've left the family, so why keep stirring the pot for us?"...The air crackled with the Stone family's collective outrage, their faces twisted in anger as if they were ready to rip Liam and Celena to shreds.Celena and Liam's arrival was pure happenstance. They were just in the neighborhood to check in on an old friend when they overheard Yonatan's boastful taunts.Lia
Yonatan did not even bother to look at him. He checked his watch with a chilling laugh and said, "You've got ten minutes for Liam to show up. Don't say I didn't warn you."The words sent a wave of shock through Yafe and the rest of the Stone family, who stared at Yonatan, panic-stricken.Yafe was a mess, desperate to explain, but the sight of Yonatan's henchmen, eager and ready for a fight, stopped him dead in his tracks."Mr. Yonatan, I swear it's the truth. Liam has nothing to do with the Stone family anymore. You've made a mistake!"Yafe's face was flushed with urgency as he tried to convince the unmoved man."It's true, Mr. Yonatan! Liam and Celena were kicked out of the Stone family ages ago.""That's right! He's got nothing to do with us anymore. If you're after Liam, go to the villa at Emerald Lake. He's there, not here with us.""Mr. Yonatan, if you head over to Drunham City and ask anyone, they'll tell you the same thing: Liam and Celena have no ties to us Stones anymor
