Chapter 2490

Author: Voice From Heaven
"Please come with me, Mr. Gray." Princeton gestured toward the gates, then led the way. Ayden furrowed his brows but quickly followed.

They entered the gates and arrived at a majestic, vintage mansion. The living room was very grand, but strangely enough, there was a luxurious bed perched in the middle of it, with its drapes drawn. Ayden could just barely make out a silhouette lying on the bed.

Princeton approached the bed and bowed. "Sir, I have brought Mr. Gray with me."

"Thank you," a raspy voice rang out from behind the drapes. It sounded hoarse and strangled, and sent chills down Ayden's spine.

Sir? Did Princeton call the person on the bed 'sir'?

Ayden frowned in confusion, then gazed at the bed, trying to catch a glimpse of the person concealed behind the drapes.

There was only one person that Princeton would refer to as 'sir,' but he was already dead.

Not too long ago, the Grand Pendragon Department had put out an announcement that the nation's commander-in-chief, Pri

    "Cough cough..."In the midst of Ayden's shock, Prince Faber's agonizing coughs echoed through the room, snapping Ayden back to the present.The maid at his side, no stranger to the routine, quickly soothed Prince Faber's back with practiced pats while another silently offered him a cup of warm water.The warm water seemed to quell the coughing, but it left Prince Faber looking paler, more strained.Ayden could not help but think, 'Prince Faber's health is really on the decline.'Catching his breath, Prince Faber managed a weak smile. "My body's falling apart," he admitted.Ayden responded with urgency, "Your luck is legendary. I'm sure you'll find a miracle worker."Prince Faber offered a wry smile, choosing not to dwell on his health. "Mr. Gray, I've called you here for a matter of great importance. It's about a crisis that threatens the very fate of Biskeland. Does that intrigue you?""A crisis for Biskeland?"Ayden's heart skipped a beat, his eyes widening as he sought con

    "And let's be real, I've got plenty of options. Ever wonder why I picked you, Mr. Gray?" Ayden's brow creased, and he shot back, "Why's that?" "Because you've got drive, and you're tough as nails when it comes to chasing what you want. I'm cut from the same cloth, Mr. Gray, and that's why you were my choice." Prince Faber's smile held a faint sneer as he added, "However, it looks like I gave you too much credit. Your ambition isn't as big as I thought. You've made your choice, Mr. Gray. Stay or go; it's all the same to me." With a dismissive wave to Princeton, Prince Faber signaled that Ayden was free to leave, no strings attached.Ayden's brow was knitted with concern as he shot a glance at Prince Faber before rising to his feet and heading for the door. However, after a few steps, a thought struck him, and he stopped dead in his tracks. He turned, locking eyes with Prince Faber, and after a brief pause, a knowing smirk crept across Ayden's face."Prince Faber, I've got a

    Her beauty was undeniable, with a heart-shaped face, sparkling eyes, and long lashes. Her black curls were tied in a high ponytail that bounced with each step she took.Celena's cousin, Silvia, took a moment to survey the strange new environment before pulling out her phone to make a call."Hey, love, I've made it to Drunham City. How come I don't see you? When are you coming to get me?" Silvia's voice was playful but carried a note of annoyance. After all, her boyfriend was late to pick her up.The man on the other end chuckled. "Sweetheart, don't be upset. I'm here already. Where are you at?""I'm by Exit A3.""Great, just head to the curb, and you'll spot me."With that, Silvia wheeled her suitcase toward the curb and instantly saw her boyfriend, Wilton, waving from his BMW.Wilton was the heir to the Walker family, a name well-known in Drunham City. They were not the most prominent family, but they were definitely high up there.He and Silvia went way back to their college

    Wilton whipped his head around, fury etched on his face as he barked at Liam, "What the hell, kid? You got a death wish? Watch where you're going!"Silvia was not pleased either, her brows knitted in annoyance. "Hey, what do you want? Why are you stopping us?"Liam glanced at the photo Celena had sent to his phone, then looked up to confirm, "You're Silvia, right?"Hearing that, Silvia nodded, her expression one of confusion. "Yes, that's me. And you are?""I'm your brother-in-law, Celena's husband. She got tied up today and sent me to pick you up!"Liam introduced himself, his eyes still sharply assessing Wilton, who had a shifty look about him that set off alarm bells in Liam's head.Realizing who Liam was, Silvia's demeanor softened, though she still sheepishly said, "Oh, you are my brother-in-law... I'm so sorry, I totally forgot to tell my cousin that I already had a ride."Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Wilton. He's from Drunham City too. He'll be lo

    Still, Silvia was irked. She glanced at the nearby restaurant, an idea sparking in her eyes. She pointed to a place next door and said, "I'm starving. Let's grab a bite."Liam nodded. "Alright, pick wherever you want. We'll head out after we eat."He was eager to get home, but he could not just ignore her hunger.Silvia grabbed Wilton's hand, and they cheerfully made their way into a well-known buffet in Drunham City.Liam strolled into the restaurant with the couple, striking up a casual conversation with Wilton while they placed their orders. He was fishing for details about Wilton's background, and bit by bit, he pieced together a profile that only deepened his suspicions.Their food was ready in no time, but it was self-service at the counter. Wilton, eager to impress Silvia, volunteered to collect their meals. As soon as Wilton was out of earshot, Liam leaned in and whispered to Silvia, "Your guy's bad news. Trust me, you're better off dumping him and finding someone soli

    "However, instead, there's this other smell in your boyfriend's car. It's hidden beneath layers of perfume and floral scents, but if you really pay attention, it's there."Liam paused, leaving Silvia dumbfounded, her face a mask of shock as she blurted out, "What smell?"With a knowing look, Liam said, "It's pretty obvious. It's the tell-tale scent of your boyfriend's frequent escapades with other women in his car."Silvia had no trouble grasping Liam's blunt words and found herself believing him."Why do you even know that?"She scowled at Liam and pressed on, "And what if you're right? It's between him and me. What's it to you? Who are you to judge?"Liam brushed off her scorn and said, "Your boyfriend couldn't stop checking his phone while keeping a wary eye on you. He even put his phone face down—clearly, he didn't want you to see."All things considered, he was likely chatting up some other woman. I'm not trying to stick my nose in your love life. I wouldn't bother if you a

    Liam quirked an eyebrow, stood up without a word, and went to get the boxes. By the time he came back, Silvia and Wilton were gone.Liam took his time as he got his uneaten food wrapped up to go. He strolled to the parking lot with his takeout just in time to catch a glimpse of Wilton's car pulling away. Liam hopped into his own car and trailed behind them. He knew Silvia was not his biggest fan, which explained her resistance to his words. However, Liam was certain that once Silvia had some time away with Wilton, she would start to see things more clearly and mull over the truth of his statements. Meanwhile, Silvia, having left with Wilton, settled down in the passenger seat and let her mind wander back to Liam's words. She sniffed the air inside the car and, sure enough, there was a hint of rose scent mingling with the perfume—a smell that only comes from fresh flowers, and Wilton had not given her any. She also noticed several strands of hair on the passenger seat, varyin

    "Hey there, gorgeous, all by yourself? Need a lift somewhere?" The man behind the wheel, with a sleazy grin, eyed Silvia up and down.It was the same old pickup attempt, and Silvia, no stranger to such antics, rejected him flatly, "No thanks, my boyfriend will be here any second."Her face was stone-cold, her brows knitted as she glanced toward where Wilton should be, thinking, 'Where is he already?'She expected the guy to take a hint and leave, but she had underestimated his audacity.He did not budge. "You don't look like you're from around Drunham City. First time here? You're here to have a good time, right? I know all the hotspots in Drunham City. How about I show you around?"He was a pro at that game. The airport was nearby, and many visiting girls fell for the charm of his luxury car. Usually, they would not turn him down.However, Silvia was not playing along.Annoyed, she shot him a frosty look. "Are you hard of hearing? I said my boyfriend is on his way. I'm warning

    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
