At that moment, there was nobody on the street. After Liam and Cirocco appeared, a strong wind suddenly kicked up on the street.The sky quickly became gloomy. Dark clouds suddenly formed above Nebula Inn.The suffocating mood, coupled with the air Liam and Cirocco exuded, made Arian look more and more solemn.Liam and Cirocco were standing at the door of Nebula Inn. They were only ten steps away from Arian and Hugo.At first, Hugo was frightened by Liam and Cirocco. However, it immediately occurred to him that they were at Nebula Inn and Arian was right next to him. He no longer felt it was that scary anymore, and he felt more confident instead.Seeing that Liam and Cirocco had the guts to walk up to him so cockily made him fly into a rage. He pointed at them and barked icily, "Who are you? Nebula Inn is not open for business today. Get the hell out of here if you don't want to die!"Arian did not expect that Hugo would have such a death wish. He did not get to stop him in time
Arian could not believe that Liam was able to grab his fist so easily.Arian's expression changed drastically. He wanted to pull his fist back, but no matter how hard he tried, his fist was still squeezed tightly by Liam.Liam sneered and kicked Arian violently on his chest, sending him flying before crashing into the huge door of Nebula Inn.The wooden door that weighed more than 100 kilograms shattered in an instant, sending shards flying everywhere.Liam's sneer was extraordinarily ear-piercing for Arian. It seemed like Liam was laughing at him for overestimating his ability.After Arian regained his senses, he was already lying on the ground.He threw out a mouthful of blood. He wiped off the blood that was left at the corner of his mouth before he quickly climbed up.Arian looked complicated at the moment. His eyes were filled with coldness and shockness. Staring right at Liam, he asked, "Who the hell are you?""That's not important. What's important is what I said earlier
"Immediately after that, two expert fighters came to our door. One of them defeated me with just one move. He even warned us not to meddle in the business of Luminous or he'll destroy Nebula Inn."I had our men take Hugo and the emerald ring back to Quantz Mansion. I had them take a message to Heston, telling him that Nebula Inn would be closed for a while and we'll repay his kindness another time," Arian added. Arian held his chest as he spoke. After he coughed violently a few times, he could instantly taste blood in his mouth.Even if Liam did not use all of his strength, that kick still injured Arian quite badly.Kethan's expression darkened upon hearing that. He was shocked as he asked, "He was able to defeat you in just one move? "You're now at the level of a three-star God of War. He was able to defeat you in just one move, so he must at least be a four-star God of War. When did such a person appear in Luminous? How have I never heard of him before?"Arian immediately sh
Heston held the emerald ring, looking displeased. He had no idea what happened at all.Coincidentally, Hugo gradually came up right at that moment. Heston quickly asked, "Hugo, how did you end up like this? What exactly happened? Didn't I ask you to take the ring to Nebula Inn and ask the Ferguson twins for help?"Hugo just woke up, so his mind was still a little foggy and his body was still numb. However, he was already much better than before.After he listened to Heston and glanced at his surroundings, he finally realized he was already back at Quantz Mansion."Heston, I met Mr. Arian after I arrived at Nebula Inn. But to my surprise, two top fighters who came out of nowhere blocked our path as soon as we walked out of Nebula Inn."He was the one who made me like this. He even defeated Mr. Arian in just one move. He also warned Nebula Inn not to meddle in the matters in Luminous or he'll destroy them."Heston's expression darkened, and his gaze turned solemn. He pondered for a
Without hesitation, Heston said, "I don't know. Please enlighten me, Mr. Yeager.""Someone went to the Whistleblowers' base camp in Llyne village last night and had a solo fight with Grayson. He defeated Grayson with just one move," said Julian.Heston immediately understood and exclaimed in shock, "What? Is a mysterious man again? It looks like someone has been setting it all up behind the scenes to target my family."Julian nodded and said, "That's right. That's exactly it."Heston looked upset at that moment. Grayson's defection made him feel like he was being attacked from all sides. He became incensed, slamming on the handle of the chair."Who is it? Who the hell is targeting my family? Right now, Cillian is the only one in the entire state who has a beef with my family. Could this be Cillian's doing?"That's not right. I don't think Cillian has what it takes to do something so major. Could it be done by the other families?"No, that's impossible. My family doesn't have tha
The Quantz family's dinner was held in a big hotel in the state capital.At seven in the evening, all the big shots in the state arrived at the hotel, making the hotel incredibly lively.The dinner was incredibly grand as well. There was a 100-meter-long red carpet at the entrance with luxurious flower baskets lining on either side.All types of luxurious cars were parked at the entrance while more were driving in from the distance.All those influential people were standing around in groups of two and three, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with each other. Cillian and members of the other major families in Luminous also appeared at the hotel.Cillian prepared a generous gift as instructed by Liam and entered the venue with a group of big shots.Liam and Cirocco also got their hands on the invitations and entered the venue as well.Other than the fact that the people in attendance were all big shots from Luminous, it was just like a regular dinner. Everybody was specul
The crowd was filled with excitement and anticipation as they watched Julian walk out from the back of the stage in suits. The spotlight moved slowly along with him with every step he took.Julian was wearing an expensive black suit that was handmade for him. He had a pair of exquisite cufflinks on his sleeves. Every move he made was exuding an air of elegance. The classy air and the handsome looks made the young women in attendance drool.Julian took center stage and was very happy with the crowd's reaction. He grabbed the cocktail that was delivered to him by the server and raised his glass to the crowd."Hello, everyone. I'm Julian Yeager. It's a pleasure to meet all of you."He immediately received a thunderous round of applause.Then, the crowd raised a glass to him as well.Everybody was excited, except Liam and Cirocco, who were in the crowd.At that moment, Liam looked calm, but his eyes were filled with a bone-chilling gaze. A storm was brewing in them.After all these
The expression of the other four family heads immediately darkened upon hearing what Davis said, and they all looked at Heston icily.James Sully, the head of the Sulley family, said icily, "Mr. Quantz, Mr. Jacobsen is right. Why do you want us to hand over our electronic devices and tell our bodyguards to leave?"Tyson Clark, the head of the Clark family, looked at Heston with a sullen expression and said, "I'm sure we all know each other here. If you trust us, then let's have the meeting. If you don't, then we can just forget it. We won't agree to anything else.""That's right. Go ahead and have the meeting if you want to. If you don't, we can just call a day. We won't agree to have our bodyguards leave the room. We won't ever hand you our electronic devices either."A frosty look gleamed in Heston's eyes as he listened to the crowd. In the meantime, he was secretly observing Cillian's expression, and he saw that Cillian sat in his chair calmly, not saying a word. He had no idea
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
