The others in the room did not know the medal's meaning, but Winthrop knew it very well.The Longe family has been in the military for generations. Their forefathers fought in the war that led to the founding of the nation.However, even so, only one member of the Longe family received this medal.It was because of this glory that the Longe family reached their current position and secured their footing in Ralacir Town. That was why Winthrop saluted Liam after he saw the medal, and he did it with such humility.Regardless of who Liam was, the fact that he was able to produce the medal was enough to make Winthrop respect him.Everybody else in the room was dumbfounded. They had no idea what was going on at all. They had no clue why Winthrop's attitude changed after Liam took out a medal. Not only did he let them go, but he saluted Liam so respectfully.Who exactly was Liam's identity? Was he not just a loser who married into the Stone family?As everyone watched in confusion, L
"I thought Liam was a high-ranking officer in the military in the past. I didn't think the medal was a fake and even Mr. Longe was fooled.""Oh, so that's what it is. How boring. I'm going to leave now.""Me too!"With that said all those people who thought Liam was a big shot and wanted to ingratiate themselves with him left without even saying goodbye.Those people hardly saw an ordinary silver medal. They could not know the meaning of the gold medal and how precious it was. Only soldiers who joined major wars at the borders and made an important contribution would be awarded that type of gold medal.There were less than ten people in the entire Biskland who ever received that medal, which showed how precious the medal was.Only those who were in the military for a long time would know the meaning of the medal. Most importantly, all the other people in Biskeland who were awarded the gold medal only received it after they sacrificed their lives for the country and were honor
Paul left the room furiously with the others. After he got to the entrance of the hotel, he happened to see Liam and Celena get into the cab and leave.He was so angry that he kicked his car and growled, "Damn it! Just wait and see, Liam, you bastard! I'll find a chance to send you to hell!"Paul continued cursing for a little while before he left in a rage.The following day, Liam went to a business meeting with Celena. They secured the deal on the day itself and left Ralacir Town in the afternoon.Meanwhile, Paul flew off the handle after he learned the news. He was filled with so much pent-up anger that he threw the documents in his office all over the floor.At first, he wanted to find a chance to teach Liam a lesson and get Celena onto his bed. Since Celena was not willing to look at him and he could never have her heart, Paul changed his mind. He just wanted to spend a night with her.However, Liam and Celena already left Ralacir Town. That made Paul incredibly furious.
"A few decades later, my stand-in died at the hands of Liam. It seems like I'm doomed to get tangled up with the Cole family!" said Prince Faber.The two assistants stood at the side, listening to Prince Faber quietly and feeling a little upset.They were Prince Faber's trusted subordinates. Prince Faber who died was nothing more than a stand-in. The person they truly followed and admired was the man in front of them.Ever since ancient times, people who held great power would put in a lot of effort to train their own body double.The purpose was to let the stand-in sacrifice in their place at a critical moment.However, finding someone with a similar figure and appearance was a huge feat. On top of that, they would have to spend a long time training the person. Not only did the stand-in have to have an uncanny resemblance to the actual person, but they also needed to have similar mannerisms, personalities, and capabilities. Only then could the stand-in be considered qualified.
"Alright. I happen to be carrying out a mission in Drunham City these few days. I'll get in touch with you later." Benson hung up the call upon saying that."Benson." At that moment, a soldier dressed in the same camouflage uniform walked over. He patted Benson's shoulder with a smile and said, "I heard that you might be given a merit after this mission is over. You'll have enough merits then.""That's right! You might even have the chance to be promoted to a commissioned officer. You'll have a chance to compete in the Military King competition!""With Benson's ability, it won't be a problem at all. Don't forget us after you've succeeded, alright?""Hahaha. That's right. With Benson's ability, it certainly won't be a problem. He's the strongest among us.""Let's congratulate Benson in advance on his success, then. There's going to be a military officer from our team in the future. Hahaha!"A few other soldiers walked over and congratulated Benson with a smile.Benson had a faint
Paul asked Benson to come to the hotel that he was staying at. After they met each other, Paul did not waste any time. He immediately told Benson why they were meeting. "Benson, I asked you to come here because I need a favor from you. I've recently taken a fancy to a woman. She's someone I have been pursuing since we were in college, but she has always given me the cold shoulder."Recently, her husband challenged me. He even humiliated me in front of everybody during the class reunion a few days ago in Ralacir Town. I have to take revenge."That man is a retired soldier from the Pendragon War Zone. That's why I thought of you. I want you to help me teach that cocky bastard a lesson."It was only then Benson understood why Paul told him to come over. His expression instantly darkened."What did you say? You got me to come over to deal with a woman's husband? And that person is a retired soldier from the Pendragon War Zone?"Knowing that Liam was a veteran of the Pendragon War Zo
"This is very risky. We're finished if the higher-ups were to find out. You're only giving a hundred and sixty thousand dollars, yet you want them to help you take this risk?"Without taking a glance at the card, Benson said, "How about this? You throw in another two hundred and forty grand and make it four hundred grand in total. If you do that, I'll agree to get this done right away."Paul was stunned. He did not think Benson would ask for such a big number. Benson asked for 400 thousand dollars.However, Paul resented Liam very much. As long as he could teach Liam a lesson, he would be willing to grit his teeth and pay a million dollars for that to happen, let alone 400 thousand dollars."Alright. As long as you and your men are able to get this done for me, I'll throw in another two hundred and forty grand after that," Paul agreed and handed the card to Benson once again.This time, Benson did not turn Paul down. He accepted the card and put it in his pocket instead.…Meanw
The leader swung the metal tube down on the assistant's back."Ah!" the assistant yelped and fell to the ground crying in pain.When the others saw she was beaten up, they were furious. They immediately rushed up to help, wanting to stand up for her. However, they were hit by the men with the clubs, so they went back to where they came from.One of the male staff saw the assistant sobbing in pain. He was so furious he started trembling. He was about to charge at the leader, but he was held back."How dare you hit a woman! I dare you to come at me instead!" he yelled at the leader.The squad leader shot the man with an icy gaze. He smirked. "Hmph! Do you want to be the hero who saves the damsel in distress? I'll show you how much of a hero you are."The leader sneered and walked over to the man with the metal tube, striking the man on his head."Ah!" the man wailed. His head was cracked and blood streamed down profusely. He lay on the floor motionless. He was knocked out cold.T
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
