Even the Guardians were no exceptions. They all set aside their responsibilities and arrived at the Pendragon War Zone. Movement of such a scale did not go unnoticed, especially since it was a first for the Green Dragon Warriors. The Northern Biskeland War Zone, which was an inevitable stop in the Green Dragon Warriors' journey down to the Pendragon War Zone, soon caught wind of their movement. Bright red dots blinked on the massive screen in the center of the headquarters of the Northern Biskeland War Zone. Each blinking dot represented a Green Dragon Warrior, picked up via satellite geolocation. Cisco stared at the red dots as they moved rapidly in unison toward the Pendragon War Zone. His expression was solemn but unreadable. Cilix, on the other hand, was panicking. He stared nervously at the blinking red dots on the screen and asked, "Sir, these are all Green Dragon Warriors. In their journey for the Pendragon War Zone they will inevitably pass through our territory. Shou
This made Cisco fall silent.Liam was right; as a former soldier himself, he would never sit by and watch while his comrades suffered at the hands of a cruel dictator. Word of Prince Faber's tyranny had spread through the war zones like wildfire from the moment he took over. Cisco was just as outraged as Liam was over the treatment of his men, which was why instead of stopping the Green Dragon Warriors the moment he discovered them, he had chosen to wait for Liam's call instead."You're right, Liam. We were comrades on the battlefield, and I would indeed done as you have. I will help you, but under one condition," Cisco finally said after a long pause."Please name your condition," Liam replied.A smile broke out over Cisco's face, and he looked much more relaxed now. "I want you to visit me at the Northern Biskeland War Zone once this is all over, Liam.""Consider it done. Thank you, Cisco," Liam replied without missing a beat and hung up.Cisco put down the phone and turned t
"Hubris!" the soldiers snarled, outraged. They pointed their guns at Liam's leg and were about to pull the trigger when…"Stop! I command you to stop!" their leader sprinted over, looking harassed, and aimed a sharp kick at the soldier who was about to shoot. The soldier crumpled to the ground.The leader did not seem to think this was punishment enough. He kicked the soldier once more and screeched, "What the f*ck do you think you're doing, you idiot? Don't you know who this is? This is our former commander-in-chief! What gave you the guts to shoot him?"The leader had served the Pendragon Warriors for a long time now, and thus recognized Liam instantly. He would not allow his subordinates to disrespect Liam this way, although he was their commander-in-chief no more.He turned to Liam and bowed low. "Sir, please accept my sincerest apologies. I should have taught my soldiers better."Liam merely nodded in acknowledgement, then said coolly, "It is alright. Where are they?"He was
All the doctors and nurses, as well as the guards, turned sharply, feeling a shudder go down their spines. No one dared to move a muscle or utter a single word.All of a sudden, the door was flung open, and a sergeant strode into the room. His crest glinted on his shoulder, indicating his ranking as a lieutenant general. He looked to be in his mid-forties to fifties and was wearing a scowl on his face. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk and instilled fear in anyone who looked into them."It was I who ordered them bound. What do you have to say about that?" he snarled. He had been scowling from the moment he saw Liam enter the room. "Liam, I must remind you once again that you are no longer the commander-in-chief, so you have no authority, especially not here, in a military hospital of the Pendragon War Zone."Our new commander-in-chief, Prince Faber, has forbidden anyone from entering the military hospitals. You have defied the rules of the military, and you are to be punished accordi
The blood rushed into his face. He clawed desperately at Cirocco's hand, trying to free himself. "You… you let… let go of me… You are… you are attacking a general This is… a crime… punishable… by death…" he stammered in short bursts, but he felt Cirocco's grip tighten even more. His subordinates finally snapped out of their stupor. They swiftly drew out their guns and pointed them straight at Liam and Cirocco. "What are you trying to do? Let go of our general right now, or we shoot!" they shouted, but their voices were shaky with fear. Panic surged through their veins, for the man they were threatening was none other than their former commander-in-chief! One had to be living under a rock not to have heard of Liam's great accomplishments and heroism during his time in the military. Even so, they were in a tough position. On the one hand, they dared not attack Liam, but on the other hand, Liam was holding their lieutenant general hostage, and they had to do something to rescue him.
Marqus's face was a mask of sheer terror as he dared not lock eyes with Liam.He was petrified.A true testament to the fearsome reputation of the Commander-in-chief of Pendragon!His commanding presence was not something the average person could bear.Liam's gaze was icy as he commanded, "Apologize to them, to the soldiers who stand watch at the border!"Marqus was livid, his voice rising in anger, "What? Apologize to them? No way, why should I apologize?"The sharp retort was met with the thud of a bullet at his feet.In the blink of an eye, with the echo of the gunshot still in the air, Marqus was bowing and offering apologies to Calum and the others, one after another.Once he was done, he turned back to Liam, who was radiating a deadly aura and stammered in fear, "I've... I've said my apologies, please... don't kill me..."Liam ignored his plea, tossing the handgun to him with a chilling command, "Good, you're on guard duty for this hospital room from now on."Remember t
Black Rose, clad in her military garb, stepped forward from the crowd, her face lighting up with excitement at the sight of Liam. However, her joy was fleeting; her expression quickly turned serious as she said, "Sir, I'm sorry, but I can't let you in right now."Black Rose had anticipated Liam's visit today. Once, she would have welcomed him with open arms, but then, she wished he had not come.It was clear from her posture that she had been waiting for him.Liam's brow creased in concern. "Black Rose, what's going on?"Black Rose's face tense, and her voice rose with urgency. "Sir, you can't enter now. Prince Faber has given strict orders today—no one is to enter the Pendragon War Zone headquarters without his permission. Anyone who tries will be treated as a traitor!"Black Rose's face twisted with worry as she watched Liam, his body practically radiating intent to kill. She pleaded with urgency, "Sir, you have to listen to me, don't go! Prince Faber is expecting you; it's a
Liam advanced toward Prince Faber, his presence unguarded and intense; his eyes locked onto the Prince in his military dress."Did you really think I wouldn't come, Prince Faber?" Liam's voice was sharp as ice.Prince Faber cracked a smile and said, "Liam, remember, you're no longer the big boss of Pendragon. None of this is your business anymore."You're just a regular Joe with no title to his name. You know the drill—you walk into the war zone HQ uninvited, and you're asking for trouble.""And what if I am?" Liam shot back."Is it worth it?""To hell with the consequences. They're my brother-in arms. If I say it's worth it, then it's worth every damn bit."As they spoke, Liam closed the distance between them, an icy aura enveloping him, his eyes flashing with an unmistakable promise of violence.Prince Faber matched his chill, his voice like a blade, "I'm the top dog here in the Pendragon War Zone now. These are my people. You think you can take on hundreds of thousands of Pe
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
