"Ah!" Carlos screamed at the top of his lungs. He looked at Liam in pain, struggling to free his hand from Liam's grip."Let me go! Ah! How dare you break my wrist! Your days are numbered!" Carlos was in such excruciating pain that he gasped a few times. Then, he shouted hysterically, "Just wait and see! I won't let this slide! I'll kill you and this woman! I won't spare any of you!"Liam sneered and said icky, "Wow! What a stubborn one you are?"Liam twisted his hand in the other direction, and it was followed by a crisp crack of the bone. Liam broke Carlos' entire arm."Ahh!" Carlos screamed miserably again. One could tell how agonizing the pain was for him by the sound of his scream.Carlos held his arm and glared at Liam as he bellowed, "You're finished! I'll get Mr. Solomon to kill you!"Carlos' arm was in such excruciating pain that he was curled up on the ground and shaking as he spoke.He was no longer as cocky as before. He looks like a huge mess as he lay on the ground
"Now you know that I'm your girlfriend, huh? What were you doing earlier? If my cousin's husband didn't come, I would be taken away by that thug, wouldn't I?" Silvia barked.Silvia did not even dare to think about how things would have ended if Liam did not go there in time.On top of that, she recalled the analysis about Wilton that Liam did for her before this. At that moment, she completely exploded in anger.The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She slapped Wilton across the face again and bellowed, "Get out of my face! If you keep harassing me, I'll get my cousin's husband to beat you up!"Wilton saw how Liam broke Carlos' arm in an instant. That was why he was so frightened after he heard what Silvia said. He instantly took a couple of steps back, not daring to stop her anymore.Silvia sneered before she turned around and walked toward Liam's car.Liam got into the car as well and saw Silvia's wrist which was injured by Carlos' grip. He remembered he had hot w
"I don't know that man from earlier. He was the one who came and struck up a conversation. He also said he knows a member of the Solomon family. I'm a little scared. Should we call the cops?" Silvia asked.She grabbed Liam's arm in fear. Right as she looked back, she saw Carlos in the front passenger seat of the car right behind them. He was looking at their car with a ferocious face."The Solomon family? The one who runs a property development company?" Liam asked.He frowned and glanced at his rearview mirror, and he suddenly thought something.The Solomon family and property development. Liam instantly thought of the family who owned Emerald Lake, as well as Benjamin."It can't be that coincidental, can it?" Liam gave it a thought and became even more certain. Then, he said "It's fine. If it's the Solomon family that I know of, then let's get out of the car and greet them."Liam drove into an alley and stopped his car by the roadside. Then, he walked out of the car.His actio
Right then, a black Lincoln stopped next to the crowd. Once the door was opened, a young man in a black suit walked out.After Carlos saw the young man, he immediately gave an ingratiating smile and said, "Mr. Solomon, you're here! This is the guy. He's the one who beat me up. You have to seek revenge for me!"The young man, Jeremy Solomon, looked at Liam and asked arrogantly, "Are you the one who beat Carlos up? Don't you know that he's one of my men?"Carlos immediately fanned the flames and said, "He was too cocky, Mr. Solomon. I mentioned your name, yet he did not take you seriously."At first, I got my eyes on that chick. I thought she was not bad, so I wanted to send her to you. However, this fellow popped out of nowhere and spoiled everything."As Carlos spoke, he pointed at Silvia, who just exited the car. He was happy. Silvia was so close to being his, yet Liam showed up and ruined it all for him.Jeremy followed the direction of Carlos' finger and saw Silvia. His eyes i
Carlos walked up to Jeremy's side, looking confused. Then, he asked, "What are you doing, Mr. Solomon? He's nothing more than a loser who married into his wife's family. Why are you—""Shut your damn mouth!" Jeremy barked.His eyes darkened, and he slapped Carlos hard and bellowed, "How dare you speak to him with this attitude?"Carlos was dumbfounded as he cupped his face. He did not expect that Jeremy would slap him at all.He thought Jeremy would help him teach this loser a lesson after he asked him to come over. However, not only did Jeremy not do that, but he was courteous to Liam instead."Why did you slap me, Mr. Solomon?" asked Carlos, looking hurt.Liam glanced at Jeremy and then at Carlos before he said, "Mr. Solomon, right? If a watchdog has bitten someone, shouldn't the owner take responsibility for that?"Carlos was so infuriated to hear that, and he immediately bellowed at Liam, "Who the fuck are you calling a dog?"Jeremy instantly understood what Liam meant. His
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry. Please have mercy on me, Mr. Cole. Please forgive me." Carlos kept begging.Liam looked down at him as he said, "You better watch it the next time. Don't let me see your face again. Get the hell out of here now."Carlos scurried off as if he was just pardoned, fearing that Liam would regret letting him go at any moment.Jeremy wanted to say something to Liam, but he saw Liam was slightly annoyed. Being sensible, Jeremy quickly brought his men with him and left.Silvia was stunned. She regained her senses after Jeremy, Carlos, and the others left."Liam, they—" Silvia's gaze as she looked at Liam was extraordinary. She became even more confused. Did they not say that Liam was a loser? Why was Jeremy, a man Wilton was afraid of, walking on eggshells around Lian?Liam saw Silvia's expression and thought she was shaken, so he quickly asked, "What's the matter?"However, not only was Silvia not frightened, but she got excited instead. She looked at Liam with gr
Celena brought Silvia to the room that she prepared for her. They chatted for a long time before Celena came back out.Because Celena had something to do at the office, she spoke to Liam briefly and left for her office.However, not long after she left, she called Liam.When Liam saw it was Celena's call, he thought she left something behind. She quickly asked, "What's the matter, dear? Did you forget something?"Celena answered, "No. Are you free right now? I want you to go to the Antique Market with me.""The Antique Market?"Liam was taken aback. "I am available, but why did you suddenly want to go there?""I want to buy something to decorate the office. Also, I have a few business partners lately who like antiques. I was thinking of buying something for them," Celena explained.Liam understood and said, "Alright. Where are you now? I'll go and meet up with you.""I'm right outside the door. Hurry up and come out."Liam hung up the call and headed out. Soon, both of them a
Liam moved quicker than Celena and stopped her. Meanwhile, he glanced at the antique store owner and asked, "Did you say these two vases cost twenty thousand dollars? Didn't you say you want to make a friend? Can you go a little lower?"The owner did not beat around the bush either. He simply smiled and asked, "How much are you planning to offer?"Liam glanced at the vases and replied, "Seventy-five dollars.""What did you say? Seventy-five dollars?" The smile on the owner's face faded as soon as he heard what Liam said. He looked at Liam with widened eyes and barked, "Are you crazy? Do you want to buy my vases for just seventy-five dollars? Are you kidding me?""These are vintage porcelain vases, yet you dare to offer me seventy-five dollars for them? Why don't you just rob me instead?"The owner was quite pissed off, glaring at Liam furiously.Liam was just as calm as he said, "Weren't you the one who joked with us first? Besides, it's illegal to rob. I didn't say I'm not payin
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
