The look in Liam's eyes was so cold and menacing that Jaden could not help but panic. "You… Now listen here! This is Cascade City, and the club you're standing in right now is my territory. If you dare to touch so much as a hair on my head, you'll pay for it…" He stammered, his voice trembling with fear. He had hoped that the mention of the Storm Serpent Society would make Liam think twice about harming him, but Liam did not seem the slightest bit fazed. Instead, he replied coldly, "Your territory? Why don't you look outside the window?"Fear and dread coursed through Jaden's veins at this. Ignoring the excruciating pain in his abdomen, he got to his feet and dashed over to the nearest window. When he peered outside, he was so shocked by the sight below that his knees buckled and gave out beneath him. Mr. Wilcox and the rest were intrigued by Jaden's response and sprinted over to the window to get a look themselves. They were so horrified by what they saw that they fell to their k
After some careful deliberation, Jaden decided he would much rather keep himself alive than keep his job."Mr. Cole, to be very honest with you, I don't know the true identity of our client either. The head of the Storm Serpent Society, Mr. Jolls himself, assigned this task to me without divulging any other information. He is probably the only person who knows who the client is."It was at this point that Jaden felt Liam's glowering gaze on him. With a shudder, he added hastily, "Mr. Cole, although I do not know who the client is, I know he is from the capital. Judging from the way Mr. Jolls speaks about him, he is someone of immense power and influence in the capital. "Mr. Cole. I've told you everything I know. I have nothing more to hide from you! Please spare me!" Liam did not reply but instead scrutinized Jaden coldly, as though trying to determine if he was telling the truth or not. Jaden, terrified that Liam would not believe him, raised his right hand in an oath and said
There on the hospital bed, surrounded by beeping devices, laid a little girl who was covered in blood. Her life was hanging by a thread. Her mother, Celena Stone, was sitting next to the bed, holding her hands tightly. Celena was covered in tears. She forced herself to endure the pain deep down and comforted her daughter, "Be a good girl, Jovie. Your father will come back to see us as long as you're a good girl.""Mom, it hurts so much! Am I going to die soon? I want to see Dad. I'm not a bastard. My father is very powerful—"Before Jovie could finish, she started shaking all over because of the pain.After Celena saw Jovie fainted, she frantically took out her phone. While she cried and instinctively dialed the number she memorized for years, she said, "Be good, Jovie. I'll tell your father to come and see you now. Don't fall asleep, alright?"Once the call was picked up, Celena did not wait for the person to say anything. She immediately said, "Liam, I'm Celena. Could you com
A sense of guilt and rage washed over Liam.Upon hearing Liam's bellow, his subordinate accelerated without hesitation, flying them to Drunham City at top speed.Liam kept repeating Celena's and Jovie's names over and over again in his mind.He used to be the heir of the Cole family from Drunham City. Tied with the Walker family, they were the top families in the city.Seven years ago, Liam was married to his childhood friend, the eldest daughter of the Walkers.On the day of the wedding, the Walkers drugged his drink behind his back and dropped him in Celena's lounge. Celena's family—the Stones—were relatives of the Walkers.Later, both the Walkers and the Stones joined forces to make a fuss. They said they wanted to seek justice for Celena and the Walker family's daughter. They then took the opportunity to gobble up the Cole family's properties.The Cole family collapsed overnight. Their businesses were divided and properties were taken away. The Stones even wanted to take L
At that moment, a few men in black barged into the emergency room of Drunham City Hospital and kicked out all the doctors who were checking up on Jovie.When Celena saw that, she lost her mind and rushed forward to stop them. "Who are you? What are you trying to do?"She was no match for those bodyguards at all. She was grabbing a man, but with a wave from him, Celena was shoved to the side and fell to the ground.She could not be bothered with the pain she felt. She wailed and begged on her knees, "I'm begging you, please. Please save my daughter! I'm willing to pay any price. Just save her!""Oh? Any price will do?" a man outside the emergency room answered Celena's plea.Celena could hear the sound of the leather shoes tapping on the floor. It sounded like Death was approaching, and it made Celena's heart sink with every single tap it made.Then, a young handsome man opened the door and walked into the emergency room. He sneered as he looked at Celena, who was on the floor.T
After saying that, Trent took out his handkerchief and helped Celena up. As he gently wiped the blood stain off the corner of Celena's face, she did her best to endure it as she had no guts to resist.Trent ordered, "I'll give you ten minutes to clean yourself up. I'll wait for you outside. Don't even think about pulling any tricks. Just think about it carefully. Who else in the entire Drunham City would dare to help you if you do."Upon saying that, he leaned in and whispered into Celena's ears, "I really can't wait to have the most beautiful woman in the city under me, begging me for mercy. Hahaha."Trent left the emergency room, feeling satisfied. He told his subordinates at the door, "Keep a good eye on the emergency room later. Nobody's allowed to go in and save that b*stard!""We understand, Mr. Walker!"Celena was kneeling next to the bed in the room. She gently wiped off the teardrops at the corner of Jovie's eyes and comforted her, "You're a good girl, Jovie. Don't be sca
"All of you are bad people! My dad will beat you up. Dad!"Jovie was already in a critical condition, so crying and struggling so much made her suddenly throw up some blood. Then, she lost consciousness because her oxygen mask was yanked off.The medical personnel were incredibly saddened to see that. That was a human life that was fading away. All of them teared.One of them could not hold it in anymore. He tossed the files in his hands on the floor and acted like he was about to rush into the emergency room. However, he ended up being violently beaten up by a few people instead.Nobody else dared to make any reckless moves anymore after they saw what happened to him.They had no idea how the child offended Trent. They had no clue where her father was either. He still did not show up.Suddenly, a few military helicopters appeared in the sky above the hospital!Everybody in the hospital ran to see who it was. The medical staff at the door to the emergency room went to the window
Meanwhile, the mayor of Drunham City, Malcolm Lynch, rushed to the airport after he received a notification.He was told by his superior that the world-renowned doctor, David Jensen, was coming to the city that day.Even though they kept the news under wraps, a number of the rich and famous got the word and rushed to the airport.Rumor had it that the legendary doctor had impeccable skills. He could breathe life back into the dead and cure any complicated conditions.Meeting a legend like him was something several people have dreamed of. If they could be acquainted with him, it would be easier for them should they need to seek treatment from him in the future.As soon as Dr. Jensen got off the plane, Malcolm and his men went up to him and greeted him respectfully, "Welcome to Drunham City, Dr. Jensen. I'm Malcolm Lynch, the mayor of this city."Malcolm extended his hand for a handshake upon saying that. To his surprise, Dr. Jensen did not even look at him at all. He just kept sta
