"Hmph! You'd do it even if you had to go through fire and water?"The king sneered and looked at Prince Faber. Then, he continued to bellow, "Are you still going to put up an act in front of me right now? Do you think I don't know about all those stupid things you've done together with the Yeager family? Those things are enough to shake the foundation of Biskeland, yet you're telling me you would go through fire and water for me?"Prince Faber's heart sank, but he did not let it show. He pretended to panic and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, Your Majesty. Please explain to me. I've always been loyal to you and Biskeland. Why would I do anything that would shake the foundation of this country?"The king's face was icy and his gaze was as sharp as a sword. He stared icily at Prince Faber as if he wanted to see through the front Prince Faber had put up."Are you still going to put on an act in front of me at this juncture? Let me tell you something. Liam's back. If you
Liam's expression darkened upon hearing what the lieutenant general said. He looked into the lieutenant general's eyes icily and said, "What if I insist on entering today?"Bane was taken aback. He looked upset.The air Liam exuded was too terrifying. Bane was already shouldering immense pressure to step forward to speak.He knew Liam would not do as he said, but he still could not help but feel panic. He held back the fear and said in a shaking voice, "Please don't make things hard for me, sir. I'm just following the king's orders."Bane went down on one knee in front of Liam and continued, "Sir, if I let you pass today, I'll fail to do my job. I'd be sacked if the king were to punish me. Please don't make my life hard, sir."Liam frowned. The air he exuded became even more intense. His voice was icy as he said, "I'm ordering to make way for me right now. I'll bear all the consequences myself. I won't get you into trouble."However, Bane stood up upon hearing that. He looked inc
Liam did not even have the time to greet all of them upon hearing what Quidel said. He simply rushed upstairs.As he arrived at the door to the operation theatre, the bloody scent in the air made Liam feel incredibly scared. His hand could not stop shaking as he opened the door.He walked up to the bed and saw Celena unconscious. Her life was hanging by a thread. Her entire body was wrapped up in bandages like a mummy. Her hands were wrapped in thick layers of bandages as well.She was fully wrapped up, but blood still kept oozing out, dying every inch of the bandages on her body.Celena was in a deep coma. Her lips were moving a little but her eyes were tightly shut. She seemed to be calling out.Liam could not hear it but knew she was calling his name."Ahhh!" Liam was infuriated. His hands were shaking as he held Celena's. He saw red as tears streamed down his face. His bellow made the entire mansion shake. Dark clouds started to form in the sky as he bellowed.A clap of thun
Liam left the room, fuming.Calum and Cirocco, as well as Dr. Jensen, were all waiting outside the door. After they saw Liam walk out, all of them immediately went up to him.Dr. Jensen glanced at Celena, who was lying on the bed. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Liam, I've done my best. Her injuries are too serious. I—"Liam cut him off and said, "Thank you so much for treating Celena, Dr. Jensen. You've saved her life. As for everything else, I understand. I have to head out to take care of something right now. I'll take care of the rest after I come back."Liam's eyes were filled with a desire to kill. His entire being was filled with rage. He said to Cirocco and the rest, "Cirocco, Quidel, follow me. Calum, stay here with the rest of them and protect Celena. Wait for me to come back."He turned around to glance at Celena and said with a catch in his throat, "Wait for me to come back, darling."Then, he turned around and left the mansion with his men. They were heading
The leader and hundreds of the imperial guards behind him were all so frightened by the air Liam exuded that they started shaking. They immediately took a few steps back.The leader quickly whipped out his gun and aimed it at Liam. Then, he bellowed, "Kind Pendragon! What are you trying to do? Have you forgotten that this is the Crystal Elegance Palace? Don't blame us for not showing you mercy if you were to continue being stubborn!"The imperial guards behind him immediately got into formation and were ready for defense.Liam's gaze darkened. He was not swayed at all. He was still walking forward. With every step he took, the powerful air he exuded blew toward the leader and the imperial guards.With every step he took, the tile under his foot cracked, creating cracking noises.The leader was so frightened by the air Liam exuded that his legs turned to jelly. Seeing that Liam was getting closer and closer to him, he fired a few shots next to Liam's feet out of fear.The bullets
"Liam, listen to us and come with us. Don't cause trouble at the palace."Geoffrey and the other two elders were all looking incredibly anxious. They pulled Liam's arm and wanted to drag him away from there.The leader of the imperial guards seemed like he saw his savior after Timothy and the others arrived. He quickly called out, "Mr. Norton, talk some sense into King Pendragon. This is the palace. We're just following orders!"Timothy grabbed Liam's arm and said while nodding, "I got it. We'll bring him away now."He turned to Liam and said, "Listen to me, Liam. Leave with me."Upon saying that, Timothy pulled Liam's arm, trying to drag him away.However, Liam remained standing in place.Liam shook his head and said, "I'm not going to leave."Timothy was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "Why won't you just listen to our advice? Hurry up and leave with us. Do you think we would harm you?"Go back with us for now. We'll take care of this matter. If you insist on s
As soon as Timothy said that, the other three elders who were incredibly anxious fell silent. All three of them looked at Timothy with confusion. Then, they looked at each other, and they immediately figured something out.Geoffrey and the other two elders stood on Liam's side as well. With a nod, Geoffrey said, "Alright. Since this is the case, then we shall stand together with you today."Upon saying that, the Four Elders stood next to Liam, facing the entrance of the palace together.The leader of the guards was stunned. He could not believe his eyes as he looked at Timothy and the others. He thought he found his savior. Not in a million years would he expect his savior would become Liam's accomplice instead."Mr. Norton, you! You guys!"The leader panicked. His hand that was holding the gun could not stop shaking. He did not expect things would turn out this way at all.He would never have the guts to shoot at the Four Elders, no matter what.Timothy grinned and said, "Hurry
Prince Faber was stunned. He did not expect Liam would attack him at the gates of the Crystal Elegance Palace.However, Prince Faber was a skilled fighter as well. He quickly took a few steps back and whipped out his Infinity Dagger. When the quintuple-edged dagger and the Infinity Dagger collided with each other, a loud explosive sound was created.Prince Faber was so shaken by the massive force that he retreated to a few meters behind.What stunned Prince Faber was that after he blocked the quintuple-edged dagger, the dagger turned around in the air as if it had a life on its own and went back to Liam's hand.How powerful!Prince Faber was incredibly shocked as he stared right at Liam.It had only been a few days since he last fought with Liam, yet Liam's skill improved so much.After he came to that conclusion, Prince Faber did not dare to take Liam lightly anymore. He became fully prepared to deal with Liam.In the next second, Liam disappeared. Prince Faber's gaze darken
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
