What Eaden meant was it was only a matter of time before the Shaw family would go bankrupt since Liam already gave the word.Herbert was upset to hear Liam say such arrogant words, but he kept calm. Seeing that Eaden was so protective of Liam, Herbert frowned and thought of Liam's identity.Confused, Herbert asked, "Mr. Wafer, who's he? Why are you treating him with such respect?""Who Mr. Cole is? Herbert, that's not a question for you to ask. You don't have the right to know either," Eaden answered indifferently.Herbert's expression got uglier upon hearing that. He looked at Eaden with a frown and did his best to make his voice sound calm as he said, "Mr. Wafer, I respect you for being the mafia boss of Drunham City. But you can't just get a random guy to put on an act, and then take the chance to take over my family's businesses."It's true that the medical field has been flourishing in recent years. I understand that you would like to try your hand at it. But there's no need
Herbert could not stop sneering. The mocking expression in his eyes was apparent as he glanced back and forth between Liam and Eaden. In the past, Herbert thought Eaden had ingenious ways of doing things since he was the mafia boss of Drunham City. At that moment, however, he thought there was nothing impressive about Eaden.Eaden was standing behind Liam as they watched the father and son standing across from them dig their graves. They saw all of Herbert's and Jaxton's expressions and movements.Eaden had a calm expression but there was a hint of pity in his eyes as he looked at the father and son duo.Liam simply smirked. He was in no hurry. He put his phone away and said, "You'll know soon if I can do it or not.""Alright. Ten minutes, right? We can wait. I'd like to see how you guys are going to wrap this up later," Jaxton said with a mocking smile.Herbert learned about Liam's identity from Jaxton. It turned out that he was what was left of the Cole family. It was a few ye
"Herbert, it only took seven minutes. Are you happy with that?" Liam said with a faint smile. He was very happy with the time.Herbert gritted his teeth and got all stirred up as he looked at Liam.Seven minutes was all it took to destroy the Shaw family. How could a loser with nothing have such a powerful means? He was a big shot with unfathomable strength.Even Kolten, the richest man in Drunham City, might not have the means and ability to pull this off so easily, yet Liam succeeded.It was no wonder at all that Eaden would grovel at his feet.Jaxton was in a great panic. He saw that Herbert was kneeling at that moment, so he also dropped to his knees next to Herbert.He shouted crazily, "Dad, Dad, what should we do? Is our family done for? What about my cars and houses? Are they all gone too?"Seeing the first thing that came to Jaxton's mind was his cars and houses at that juncture made Herbert furious. He then took all of his anger toward Liam out at Jaxton. He slapped J
Liam frowned as he looked at Herbert. He expected Herbert to have such an attitude as he would never own up to his mistakes so easily.Then, Liam looked down at his phone and sent a few texts to a few people. Once he was done, he continued standing in place with an indifferent attitude.Eaden's expression darkened at the mention of the Willoughby Medical Association. He gave it a thought before he walked up to Liam and whispered, "Mr. Cole, there's more to that medical association in question than it led on. Mr. Lindberg has powerful people backing him up."His remark piqued Liam's interest instead. With a smile, Liam asked, "Oh? What do you mean by that? Could you elaborate?""It's very complicated." Eaden could not help but frown at the thought of the people backing Clayton up. He continued, "Mr. Lindberg is from another state. He's backed up by the Norton family. Herbert's daughter is married into the Norton family. The Shaw family is only what they are today because of their
Clayton looked toward Eaden and Liam. In the end, his gaze landed on Eaden and ignored Liam.That was because Liam was too ordinary. He was standing quietly at the side, looking like a passerby.Eaden, on the other hand, was exuding a lordly air, which made others feel suffocated. That was why Clayton thought that he was the one who attacked the Shaw family.Clayton frowned as he looked at Eaden. His voice was frosty and slightly angry as he warned, "Eaden, you're the one who attacked the Shaw family, aren't you? You're a prominent figure in Drunham City and everybody treats you with respect, but you've attacked a member of my medical association. Aren't you just disrespecting the association?"Herbert is the director of Willoughby Medical Association. The Shaw family is on our board of directors. If you want to attack the Shaw family, you'll have to go through me!"Clayton's expression was extremely sullen upon saying that.Everyone in Drunham City feared Eaden a little, but Cla
It was only after Clayton heard Jaxton's words that he looked at Liam, who had ignored him the whole time. Seeing that Liam was dressed very ordinarily and remained silent, Clayton got confused and asked, "Herbert, is it because of this guy that the Shaw family's bankrupt? Who is he?"Clayton did not know Liam. He was just parachuted into Drunham City from another state two years ago.Once Jaxton heard that he was asking about Liam, he immediately approached Clayton with an ingratiating smile and explained, "Mr. Lindberg, Liam was the heir of the Cole family seven years ago. The Cole family had fallen, and he was the loser that was left behind. We have no idea when he got to know people in high places, but he pulled some strings and attacked my family.""The Cole family? The one from seven years ago?" Clayton sneered. There was a sense of disdain in the way he looked at Liam as he said, "So he's nothing more than a piece of trash that's left behind after his family was destroyed."
Colors drained from Clayton's face as he saw that. His heart sank, and he had a bad feeling.Herbert's and Jaxton's faces were ashened. They felt a chill down their spine and were breaking out in cold sweat. Their eyes widened in disbelief as they looked at Malcolm and the indifferent Liam.That was too terrifying.Who the hell was Liam? Malcolm was not only the mayor, but he was also a general, yet he treated Liam with such respect. Was Liam still the loser that he was rumored to be?Liam stood in place calmly with his hands behind his back. He nodded at Malcolm and said, "Mr. Lindberg here is abusing his power for his gains. He's bullying others with his power as the head of the Willoughby Medical Association. What actions do you think should be taken against him?"Malcolm was infuriated upon hearing that. He looked at Clayton with a burning rage and said, "Clayton, from now on, you're no longer the head of the Willoughby Medical Association. In the meantime, you'll be investiga
Seeing that begging for mercy was pointless, Clayton gave up. He got up with a struggle and glared at Liam ferociously before he made a threat, saying, "Liam, Malcolm, don't go overboard. Don't forget that I have ties with the Norton family from Hamish City, Zander. "The head of the Norton family is a student of the legendary doctor in Biskeland. Aren't you afraid of offending the Norton family and the legendary doctor?"Clayton was filled with rage. At first, he did not wish to go against Liam and Malcolm. However, they went too far. Clayton was backed by the Norton family. They were a prominent family with many connections in Biskeland. The head of the Norton family, Riley, was the doctor to many mayors, and the family was supported by the legendary doctor.A mere mayor of Drunham City and an insignificant Liam had the guts to treat him in this way. He certainly was going to make them pay a heavy price.Once this matter was reported to the Norton family, with Riley's persona
