Cirocco also noticed the blood on Liam. At the thought of how Liam took so long to return, his gaze darkened and turned cold."Sir, are you alright?"Liam smiled and shook his head at the two of them. He said, "I'm fine. Where's Callum and the others? Have they regained consciousness?"Black Rose shook her head with worry. She said, "Not yet, they were seriously injured. They have been unconscious ever since. Also, their injuries seemed to be getting infected. I’m worried."Tears welled up in Black Rose's eyes. Calum and the others were the most important people in her life, and they were all unconscious.At the thought that this was all because of Prince Faber, Black Rose desperately wanted to rush over and kill him right away.Liam furrowed his brows and said, "Let's go and see them." Then, Liam took them to the ward. Marqus was standing guard by the door. When he saw Liam, he gasped in fright."Sir!" Marqus stood up straight to salute Liam respectfully, greeting Liam with a
However, after he learned everything, he realized that things were much more complicated than he expected.The Four Ancient Families, the Cole family's responsibility, and his grandfather whose life or death was still unknown, as well as the Arcane Manuscript.Everything was one big mystery weighing down on his shoulders, overwhelming him so much he could barely breathe.Liam could not imagine how he could possibly bear it if he did not have Celena or Jovie by his side.If it were him in the past, he would have buckled under the immense pressure.However, times were different. He had important people he needed to protect. Celena and Jovie. They were the two most important people in his life.Liam leaned in and kissed Celena on the forehead."Honey?" Celena groggily opened her eyes to see Liam's handsome face looking at her. She sobered up quickly and said in delight, "Honey, you're back!"Liam never thought that he would wake Celena up. He smiled and replied, "Yes. I'm back. So
Jovie covered her mouth and snickered. She stuck her tongue out at Liam and said, "Dad, just listen to Mom. You'll have a hard time if she gets mad."Celena staggered and almost fell upon hearing that. She then glared at Jovie, pretending like she was mad.Jovie quickly covered her mouth and played dumb, calling out to Celena in an adorable voice, "Hurry up and let's go, Mom. Otherwise, I'm going to be late.""You're going to get it from me tonight," Celena said with a sneer.Liam smiled and said, "Alright, alright. I got it. Your mother won't be able to bear to give me a hard time.""Gosh. What are you saying in front of the child?" Celena protested, shooting a glare at him.Then, she quickly got Jovie out of their home. There was no telling what these playful pair of father and daughter would say if they stayed any longer.Liam continued to handle the matters he had on hand. He learned some new information, so all the deployments he made needed to be changed.Other than looki
The woman was meek, and she already apologized. Celena was a little pissed off, but she could not blame the woman. All she could do was endure her anger and say, "Let's first call the police."The right thing to do after a collision was to call the police immediately.However, right as Celena was about to make the call, the woman suddenly rushed up to her and snatched her phone away. She was wailing as she called out, "Please. Please, I'm begging you. Don't call the police! I'm a new driver. I didn't do it on purpose. Please don't call the police, alright? I'm begging you. Let's just settle it on our own. You can have however much money you want. Don't call the police!"The woman was trying to make a scene. Celena frowned and felt troubled as she said, "What exactly do you want? Give my phone back to me now."Celena tried to snatch her phone back. However, the woman did not listen to her at all. She simply grabbed Celena's phone tightly, not letting it go.Celena immediately flew
Liam's heart dropped. "Hello, I am her husband. Please help me take care of my wife. I'll be right there."Liam flew into a rage after he hung the call.He knew he had many enemies. Those people could lay a finger on any of his men, but they are not allowed to lay their fingers on his family.People who crossed his line would certainly be killed, and Celena and Jovie were where Liam drew the line.He made a call and said in a frosty voice, "Find out where my wife is right now and bring her back. Also, pull out the surveillance camera and look into the information of the people who took Jovie away."The rage within Liam was almost bursting out of him as he said that. He gripped his phone so hard that his knuckles were popping.Within a minute, he received Celena's location on his phone.Liam immediately rushed toward Celena and brought her home to rest.He stood in the living room, and a subordinate quietly appeared in front of him, reporting to him respectfully about the inform
At that moment, many shops along the street were not open. Only those who served breakfast were open.The bars along the street were open until morning, but the customers were almost all gone. At that moment, the people left at the bar were the staff who were cleaning up.Liam's car was parked right in front of Neon. He saw the signboard of the bar at a glance as soon as he got out of the car, and it was flashing colorful lights.The bar also had two one-meter-tall goddess statues in front of it, and they had colorful flashing lights hanging on them as well.Liam saw the MINI Cooper parked at the entrance of the bar, and his rage surged in his eyes.Then, Liam walked straight to the door of the bar. He looked at the goddess statue, and punched it, breaking it into pieces.At a loud boom, the goddess statue was shattered.The rubbles flew toward the glass door of the bar, smashing it into pieces and leaving glass shards all over the floor.Immediately after that, Liam walked to
There was still a pin-drop silence in the bar.People who did not know better would have thought that Liam was talking to the air.However, Liam knew the person there heard him.A peal of silvery laughter rang out in the quiet bar. It sounded as if an innocent young woman experienced something happy."As to be expected of the former commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors. The legendary King Pendragon is truly impressive."The voice of the woman inside the bar was gentle and alluring. The laughter earlier sounded like it belonged to an innocent young girl, but as she spoke, her voice sounded like a sexy woman. It had a sultry tone to it.The air the woman exuded was the same as the person who launched a sneak attack at him earlier, and that made Liam instantly frown.It was still dark in the bar. The voice of the woman echoed through the empty bar. There was no way to tell where the woman was at all.Liam frowned and asked icily, "Are you the owner of this bar?"The woman
The same smile from earlier appeared on the woman's face again. Looking like she was surely going to win, she smiled and said, "Hmph. As to be expected of King Pendragon, you are highly skilled. But you still don't seem to have a clear grasp of the situation right now. Your daughter is still in my hands."The woman had a faint murderous look in her eyes as she said that. Then, she continued, "Liam, I'm sure you don't want anything to happen to your daughter, right? She's such a cute little girl. What a pity it would be if some mishap were to happen to her."Liam looked down at the woman, and he was able to get a clear view of the woman's chest from that angle.The woman had curves at all the right places and a fair complexion. On top of that, she was also deliberately pretending to look innocent. Most men would not be able to resist a seduction like that.However, such a beautiful view did not pique Liam's interest at all. His gaze was on the necklace in front of the woman's chest
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
