Hayden nodded and said, "Since Yafe wants us to take care of this matter regarding his daughter and son-in-law, let's just do it. But don't forget that even if we know that Yafe has nothing to do with the two of them anymore, that's not what the people, especially the Drayton family, would think."To them, Celena is Yafe's daughter and Liam is his son-in-law. If anything were to happen, the Drayton family would take their anger out of them, wouldn't they?""Hahaha! Why didn't I think of that? Let's go. Let's head over right away." Walter suddenly burst out laughing. He looked excited as he pulled Hayden away.However, Hayden suddenly pulled Walter back and said, "Hold on. That's what we will do, but we can't do anything at all. I know a subordinate of the Drayton family in Drunham City. Let's meet that person.""Who's that?" Walter asked with confusion.Hayden shook his head, looking unfathomable. "Be patient. You'll find out when we get there."Hayden brought Walter to a village
The scrawny middle-aged man's expression darkened after he heard what Walter and Hayden said. He was indifferent as he said, "Alright. Since you're so sincere, I'll tell Iggy about this. But I can't promise you whether he'll see you.""Alright. Thank you, sir."Both Watler and Hayden thanked the man, stood at the entrance, and waited.The scrawny middle-aged man walked to the backyard with the ten thousand dollars. There was another middle-aged man in the backyard. He was in a suit and having a cup of coffee."There are two people out there who like to see you, sir. They said they are from the Stone family."Iggy raised his eyebrow and said, "Oh? The Stone family? Hmph. I've not gone to them, yet they've come to my door themselves."The scrawny man immediately understood what Iggy meant. With a smile, he turned around and walked back to the entrance.Seeing that he was back, Walter and Hayden quickly walked up to him with a smile. They were filled with anticipation as they asked
"This is a mess created by Liam and Celena. They are the ones who offended the Drayton family. You should capture them instead. We have nothing to do with it at all!"Walter and Hayden were both shouting in tears, fearing that their limbs would be broken by Iggy's men.Iggy's expression darkened in an instant. His voice was frosty as he said, "Hmph! Do you think you have nothing to do with this just because you say so? Isn't Celena a member of your family?"The scrawny middle-aged man stepped forward and slapped both Hayden and Walter aggressively. Then, he barked, "Shut up! It's not up to you to decide if this has anything to do with you guys or not. If Mr. Iggy Little said this has something to do with you, then it has something to do with you!"I'm warning you. You better behave. Mr. Iggy Little has a good temper, but that doesn't mean I have a good temper as well. If you dare to spew any nonsense again, I'll have my men sew your lips up."Walter and Hayden were so frightened t
One of the subordinates slapped Sherah and bellowed, "Damn it! You're so noisy! Shut your damn mouth or I'll kill you!"Yafe looked incredibly sullen. He looked at Walter and Hayden, who were standing at the side, and questioned them, "Is this the surprise you guys talked about? You are something else!"Walter felt a little guilty. However, if Yafe did not ask him to deal with this mess, he would not have been captured by Iggy's men.Thinking of that, Walter felt justified. He looked at Yafe icily and said, "Hmph! Why are you so angry? If you didn't have us clean up Celena's mess, we wouldn't be captured, would we?"Since Celena is your daughter and Liam is your son-in-law, you should be the one to take care of this yourself!"Hayden nodded and said, "That's right! Yafe, you're Liam's father-in-law. We're just Celena's uncles. Isn't it a little wrong for you to get us to take care of their mess? Mr. Iggy Little said the person he wants to meet is you and not us!"Upon saying that
"If that's the case, I'll have Iggy make arrangements right now," said Derrick.He immediately got the scrawny subordinate to take a message back to Iggy. He also planned to send a few of his men over.The subordinate did not take Liam seriously at all. He smiled and rejected Derrick, saying, "Don't worry. Liam is nothing more than a loser who married into the Stone family. Our men at the cafe are more than enough. Besides, Mr. Iggy Little is there too. You know what he's capable of."Derrick liked what he heard. He burst out laughing and said, "That's right. As to be expected of my subordinates. I'll leave this to you guys, then. I'll be waiting here for your good news.""Yes, sir!" The subordinate immediately turned around and left the nightclub.Kairos got a little worried and said, "How about you send a few more men over? Liam's quite—""No need! My subordinates are no ordinary fellows. Just wait here with me for their good news." Derrick said with confidence. Then, he gestur
Nevaeh and the others saw the strange movements at the nightclub. They were all hiding in the dark, waiting for their next order.The nightclub was vsurrounded by police, but they did not attract the attention of the people inside the club. The people in the club were heading toward the cafe in the suburbs at that moment.Nevaeh saw a big group of people leaving the nightclub and realized that something was off. She quickly called her superior."We're staking out at the nightclub right now, and we noticed many people driving off. I think their movements have got something to do with our crackdown this time."Before Nevaeh could finish, a man's deep voice could be heard coming from the other end of the phone. He sounded annoyed as he said, "Nevaeh, I've told you that you can't have a crackdown based on your whim. Everything needs evidence. If you don't have evidence and do something recklessly, it's going to affect the entire police department badly!"Listen up. You better watch it
Calum said to Celena, "It's late. It's not safe for you to head out. The commander is having a meeting at the garrison right now. He should be back soon. How about you get him to go with you?"It was written in the letter that someone had to go over or else Yafe and the others would be killed. Thinking of that, Celena turned Calum down.Celena shook her head and said, "No need. I'm just going to head out for a spin. I'll be back soon."Calum glanced at the surroundings and said, "It's getting too late. I'm afraid it wouldn't be safe for you to be alone. How about I head out with you? I can protect you.""Thank you for your kind thoughts. There's no need for that. I won't go far. I'll just be nearby. It'll be fine."Celena was a little anxious. After she turned Calum down, she hurried into her car and drove off.Seeing that, Calum did not think much of it. He just watched Celena drive off. However, for some reason, Calum felt there was something wrong with Celena's expression.Th
Samson nodded. His eyes twinkled after he took a good look at Cheryl. He exclaimed, "I'm surprised that Liam's sister-in-law is so good-looking. Look at that face and figure. How amazing!"As expected of a lady from an eminent family. Those women at the nightclub are not comparable to her at all!"Samson's lecherous gaze was going up and down Cheryl's body as he said that. He was nodding from time to time as well.Cheryl was wearing a tight strappy dress that was black. Because she was tied up and she kept struggling, a big part of her skin was exposed.The thugs around her had long been staring at her figure. They did not tease her out loud, but they were discussing her softly.Cheryl heard all those lewd words they said. She could sense their gaze as well. She got so furious that she shouted, "Ah! How dare you! Close your damn eyes! I'm warning you! Hurry up and let me go! I'm the lady from the Stone family! My father is the head! How dare you capture us! You're all dead meat!"
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
