"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
Although the assistant was terrified, she was still hesitating to call Celena even after she took the phone.Wyatt was running out of patience. He yelled out the last number icily and struck the metal tube down at the assistant.Right in the nick of time, one of the male staff rushed out of the crowd and yelled, "You just want us to contact Ms. Stone, right? I can call her, but can you first let her and all of us go?"Wyatt pulled his metal tube back. He said with a sneer, "You should have cooperated a long time ago. Why do you insist on making things difficult for yourselves before cooperating?"Wyatt looked at him coldly, signaling him to quickly make the call. At the same time, he got his men to release the people that they captured.The man who went forward was working in the company for a long time. He was one of the first batch of employees when Celena first started her company.His colleagues were in danger, so, of course, he had to stand up for them. He could not let them
"Listen up. I'm giving you another thirty minutes. Don't blame me for not showing your staff mercy if you're still not here by then," said Wyatt.He hung up the call and turned off the phone.Celena was stunned after she heard what Wyatt said. By the time she regained her senses and called back, she realized the phone was switched off.Celena had no other way. She was worried about her staff, so she had no choice but to rush to the company.However, as soon as she arrived and entered the elevators, someone pinned her arms to her back and dragged her aggressively into her company. She kept struggling, but her arms were tied to her back. The more she struggled, the tighter the rope around her wrists got.The knot was something that was taught in the military. It was used against hostages and criminals. Once a rope was tied with this knot, the person who was bound would have no choice but to stay still. The knot would only get tighter if the person kept struggling.Wyatt looked ic
Wyatt sneered and said, "Hmph! What's the matter? Can't get hold of your loser husband? He can't be hiding because he is scared, right?"Celena was afraid and anxious at the same time. She could not hold back her tears anymore. They just kept streaming down her face.At first, Wyatt was jeering at Celena. However, he was stunned after he suddenly saw Celena covered in tears.Celena's tone was aggressive earlier. She was like a gorgeous rose with thorns. However, when she cried, she looked like a pitiful flower in the rain.On top of that, Celena was very beautiful. The air she exuded was very pure. With the pitiful and tearful look she had at that moment, it would be hard for a man not to fall in love with her. Wyatt surveyed Celena. Then, he pinched Celena's chin in an extremely lecherous way. A wicked thought instantly popped into his head.He was usually in the military, so he hardly saw any women, let alone an extremely beautiful woman like Celena."Celena, right? Look. You
Wyatt mocked Liam and glanced at Celena, who was holding her stomach and crying silently on the ground. Then, he sneered and continued, "Cut the crap, Liam. Your wife is in our hands right now. If you don't want anything to happen to your beautiful wife, come to her company right now."Remember. You only have thirty minutes. Just a minute later and I won't be able to promise if you'd be able to see your wife again."Wyatt hung up the call upon saying that. He looked at the phone as Liam called back again, and he quickly hung up. At the same time, he turned the phone off.He did it on purpose to make Liam anxious, so that he would rush over.He had his subordinate move a chair over, and then he sat in front of Celena. Acting like he was the king, he looked down at Celena with a cruel sneer."Hmph. How unexpected. I didn't think your loser husband would have the guts to make an appearance, yet he returned the call. I'm going to take a good look at how impressive your husband is late
At a loud thud, the subordinate who launched a sneak attack at Liam was sent flying before he crashed next to Wyatt's legs.The subordinate threw up a big mouthful of blood and looked at Liam in shock as he held his chest.Wyatt and the others did not think Liam would be that great of a fighter. He sent their buddy flying with a single punch. All of them immediately started charging at Liam with their pipes.They just refused to believe that Liam would be able to defeat all of them in one go.However, they were destined to be disappointed.Celena and her staff were all delighted to see Liam when he arrived. They immediately saw hope and looked at him with excitement.As the crowd watched, Liam charged at those men, kicking the man in the forefront to the ground and snatching his metal pipe away.Liam's movements were incredibly quick. With a turn of his wrist, he hit another subordinate on the back. The subordinate let out a miserable scream and fell flat on the ground.In the
Liam's eyebrows furrowed. The air around him became freezing as well. He stared at Wyatt icily and asked, "Which hand did you use to hit my wife just now?"Wyatt wanted to die after he heard what the male staff said. It was indeed true that whatever a person feared would come true. He was dumbfounded, and he did not dare to say a single word.Seeing that, Liam sneered and stepped on his right wrist. With an eerie grin, he said, "Since you're saying anything, I break them both."A crack echoed through the entire office immediately after that."Ah!" Wyatt let out a miserable scream. His face was flushed. He was in excruciating pain as he looked at his wrist that Liam had broken.Before Wyatt could make sense of what was going on, Liam stepped on his right angle with all his might.At the sound of a crack, his ankle bones were all shattered. Blood started spraying everywhere. Then, Wyatt let out a miserable scream. He was in severe pain, and he was drenched in sweat.Before Wyatt w
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
