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!"
Iggy understood what Samson wanted. He quickly responded, "I got it, sir. Go on upstairs. I'll be right there."Iggy got his men to bring him a few clumps of rags and stuffed them into Yafe's, Sherah's, and Cheryl's mouth.The family of three kept struggling, wanting to break free from the people.Sherah, in particular, kept struggling and shouting. When one of the subordinates stuffed the rag into Sherah's mouth, she bit his finger.The subordinate got so infuriated that he slapped Sherah violently, causing her cheek to get red and swollen."Damn it! How dare you bite me? Don't think I won't rough you up just because you're old! You better behave yourself. I'll punish you just the same if I'm done with you. I'll throw you to the nightclub and make you turn a trick there."The subordinate kept cursing, and he slapped Sherah again before he violently stuffed the rag into her mouth.Sherah was dazed after the two slaps. It was only then she realized the people she was facing were
Kairos nodded and said, "Great! Remember. We have to take Liam's life tonight no matter what's the price to pay. Otherwise, we'll be the ones to die instead!""Yes, sir," Rex replied respectfully. A murderous look gleamed in his eyes.Meanwhile, after Celena drove out of the mansion, she rushed straight to the cafe.She kept saying that she would not care about Yafe and the others anymore, but this was caused by Liam and Celena, after all. If they were to die because of this, Celena would feel very guilty.The cafe was in a village in the suburbs. Celena drove for half an hour before she arrived at the village.However, because Celena did not take the main road and took shortcuts to save time, she stopped at another entrance of the village.The roads there were narrower. Celena could not drive her car in at all. She had no choice but to stop her car at the entrance and walk.Iggy's men kept an eye on the surroundings of the village. As soon as Celena's car arrived at the entranc
Celena was wearing a black chiffon blouse and a tight black pencil skirt that made her legs look long and slender.Her bare face made her look innocent. She looked like a fresh graduate, and people could not take their eyes off her.At that moment, Celena was a little nervous and worried as she looked at Iggy. Her lips were slightly opened as she spoke. Just one look was enough to make Iggy's body tense. Many lewd thoughts popped into his head as well.Iggy quickly walked up to Celena. His lecherous gaze wandered up and down Celena's body, and he said, "Why are you here at my cafe? Who's your family?"Iggy knew Celena was there for Yafe and his family, but he was playing dumb.Iggy's gaze made Celena feel uncomfortable. She felt a little afraid and took half a step back. She said softly, "I'm looking for somebody.""Oh? Looking for somebody?" Iggy got closer to Celena as he spoke. He had a lewd grin on his face, and he rubbed his hands together as he continued, "I wonder who you
Iggy did not take Celena's threat seriously at all. He already walked up to Celena as he spoke, and he grabbed her fair wrist."Just give in, beautiful. This place is filled with my men. Nobody's going to come and save you even if you screamed at the top of your lungs."Saying that, he pulled Celena into his arms. The delicate touch his hand sensed put a lecherous grin on his face.Celena was so frightened that she flung her hands, hitting Iggy. She had long nails, so she put a bloody scratch on his face.Iggy winced in pain and let Celena go. He touched his cheek and saw the blood on his finger, and he flew into a rage.He slapped Celena with all his might and bellowed, "Damn it! What an ungrateful bitch! It's your blessing that I got my eye on you! How dare you scratch my face instead!"Celena was dazed by the slap. She staggered and fell toward the table behind her. Her head happened to knock on the corner of the table as she went down."Ah!" Celena shouted in pain. She start
Liam instantly understood and bellowed, "Have the Drunham City garrison gather a company and go to the cafe with me right now!""Yes, sir!" Calum responded and quickly called the garrison.In the meantime, Liam called Howard. Howard saw that it was Liam's call and thought it had something to do with Andy, so he quickly answered the call."Andy is held at our police headquarters. We're just waiting for the Drayton family to come over," said Howard.Liam replied, "Mmhmm. I know. I'm looking for you for something else. Clear the path from Emerald Lake to the suburbs of Western Precinct right now! Remember! I don't care how you're going to do it, but you must clear the path in five minutes!"Liam hung up the call upon saying that. He got onto Calum's motorcycle and sped toward Western Precinct.Howard looked at the call that ended, and he could tell something was off in Liam's tone. He did not dare to waste any time, and quickly called the relevant departments to make arrangements.
"Great! Tell our men to get ready and wait for the right moment. Strike at my command," said Kairos.Rex frowned and asked, "Since Liam is already in our sight and is surrounded by our men, why don't we attack now? The snipers are ready. No matter how powerful Liam is, he can't walk out of this situation alive."Kairos shot him a frosty glance after he heard that. Then, he replied icily, "Do you think Liam got the title of King Pendragon for nothing? We absolutely can't take this mission tonight lightly. If we failed to assassinate him and alerted him instead, it would be a destructive blow for both of us."At that moment, Liam was already in front of the cafe. With a kick, he shattered the wooden door.Four thugs walked out with steel pipes after they heard the noise. They looked at Liam and barked, "Do you have a death wish? Do you know this Mr. Iggy Little's turf? How dare you create trouble here! You're just asking to be killed!"However, as soon as he said that, Liam sent him
"Ahh!" Blood started streaming down the thug's cheek after Liam hit his head with the steel pipe. The thug immediately took a couple of steps back.However, Liam did not intend to let him off the hook. He grabbed the thug's wrist and pulled him in, kneeing his stomach at the same time.The thug was in pain. He was sent flying, and he crashed into a few other thugs behind him, knocking them to the ground. The thug lay on the ground, looking at Liam in terror. His voice was shaking as he shouted, "D-don't come over! I'm warning you! D-don't come over!"Liam walked up to him. With every step he took, the thug crawled a step back in fear. In the end, the thug ended up having his back up against the wall. He had no way out anymore.Liam towered over the thug, looking down at him. "Tell me! Where is my wife?" he said icily.The thug did not dare to resist anymore. He quickly said, "I'll tell you. Don't beat me up! Your wife is in Mr. Iggy Little's room. He had someone carry her onto h
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
