He glared in the direction Celena and Liam had left in, then screamed, "Very well, then! Since neither of you appreciates my efforts, I will make you realize just how wrong you were!"With that, Kayson took out his phone and dialed a number. "Hello, is this Stonehead? It's Kayson Wheeler here. I need your help on something. Someone has gotten on my nerves, and I need you to teach him a lesson! If you could cripple him, even better! Four hundred thousand dollars to get the job done!"After getting an answer, Kayson nodded in satisfaction and hung up. A mysterious smirk crossed his face as he glanced in the direction Celena and Liam had left. He would like to see how that wretched Liam could stand a chance against him. How dare he even cross him!Celena would finally realize how wrong she was to turn him down once he got ahold of her! He would teach her a lesson by letting her find out what she had almost missed out on!The thought of Celena's gorgeous face and her voluptuous curve
The windshield shattered into smithereens, and the man turned to admire his work. "A BMW, eh? Not doing too bad for yourself, pal."The rest of the men glanced at the car, then at Liam and Celena.Celena pulled Jovie closer to her and inched toward Liam in fear. "Don't be scared, Jovie. Mom and Dad are both here to protect you. Don't be scared…"Stonehead emerged from the crowd, one hand wrapped in a cast and the other clutching a cigar. He took a puff from it, then shouted, "Destroy the car! I have orders to capture both of them! Cripple the man, but spare the woman!"Being amongst the crowd, Stonehead could not recognize Liam. Instead, he gestured for his men to charge. The man who was in the lead raised his bat above his head, but before he could even bring it down to strike Liam, he was already sent pummeling into the air and landed in a crumpled heap.The rest of the men all froze, staring in disbelief at Liam. Stonehead was outraged at this. "What the hell are you all waitin
Stonehead fell onto his knees, his entire face pale with fear and despair at what he had done. "Mr. Cole, please accept my sincere apology. I had no idea it was you! Please forgive me, Mr. Cole. If I had, I would never have tried to hurt you or your wife, and I would never have destroyed your car, not in a million years!"Liam did not reply and instead gazed around him at the dozens of men clutching their bats. Some of them had met Laim before and had since then recognized him. They all began trembling with terror, beads of sweat collecting on their foreheads. They all fell to their knees to plead with Liam for mercy. Even those who had never met Liam before were intimidated and followed suit. Even their leader was afraid of this man, so they could not even begin to imagine how powerful this mysterious man was. Liam glanced at Stonehead, who was shaking like a leaf, and said, "Who sent you here? Is it Kiel or Benjamin Solomon?"Stonehead shook his head furiously. "It…it's neith
Liam shoved Celena back toward the car and said, "Just wait for me in the car. I'll join you soon."Once Celena got into the car, Liam returned to Stonehead's side and even took a few more steps away so that he was out of Celena's earshot. Then, he shot Stonehead a murderous glare. "I'm going to send my wife and daughter home first. Give me your address. I'll come to you once I've settled them down! As for my car…""Don't worry, Mr. Cole. I'll pay for the damages to your car, and you can drive mine first for the time being!" Stonehead replied eagerly. He took his car keys out of his pocket and handed them to Liam, looking like a frightened child who knew he had done something wrong and was trying to make amends. "Mr. Cole, here are the keys to my car. In fact, you can have my car. I'll give it to you as compensation for what I've done, and I'll send your old car back once I've gotten the windshield repaired!"Liam glanced at the shattered windshield on his precious BMW, then took th
"What the fuck is going on? Isn't that Stonehead? Who is he bowing to?""Who the fuck is that? Do my eyes deceive me?""I wonder who terrifies Stonehead so much that he'd be willing to wait for him outside and even bow to him like that?""Come on, be real! It must be some rich family's heir, but even I have to admit this is a sight I never thought I'd get to see in my life!"Most of the customers at Wallflower were gangsters and thugs not unlike Stonehead, so they were all rather awestruck at the sight of Stonehead showing this mysterious man such respect and began speculating about the true identity of this person.Liam stepped out of his car and could not help rolling his eyes at such a sight. He tossed the keys to Stonhead. "Let's just go in!"Stonehead took the keys from him, then gestured for Liam to enter and said, "This way, Mr. Cole! I've already booked a private booth for us on the third floor!"Liam nodded, then strode into the pub, followed by Stonehead and his men. E
Kayson froze when he heard this, then narrowed his eyes, trying to catch a proper glimpse of the man sitting on the couch in the middle of the room.What? It was Liam!"What the fuck? How dare you even sit on the couch like this? Get on your knees right now!" Kayson shouted. He still had not realized what was going on and thought Liam had been held captive by Stonehead. All of a sudden, he turned around and caught sight of Stonehead standing next to Liam, scowling, along with seven or eight of his best fighters. Kayson was rather puzzled but could not help feeling that something bad was about to happen. He shouted at Stonehead, "What the hell is going on here?"Stonehead scoffed, then stepped forward and gave Kayson a kick in his abdomen without warning. Kayson crumpled onto the ground, clutching his stomach, and wailed, "What the hell are you doing, Stonehead? Why the fuck did you hit me? I gave you four hundred thousand dollars to punish him, not me! Why did you capture him
Liam was unfazed. Instead, he stepped forward, bent down in front of Kayson, and said with a warning tone, "I'm going to say this one last time, Kayson! Don't you even try to lay a finger or even be within ten feet of my wife! Celena is my wife, and nothing can change that. This is your final warning. If this happens again, you won't be getting off so easily!"With that, he turned and strode out of the room, leaving Stonehead behind to take care of everything. The moment Liam left, Stonehead instructed his men to toss Kayson out of the pub, all the while watching idly as Kayson landed in a crumpled heap on the pavement. "Sorry, Mr. Wheeler, but this was not on me! You can go to Mr. Cole directly if you intend to seek revenge, but seeing as we've known each other for so many years now, I'd like to offer you a piece of advice. It's better not to mess with Mr. Cole! Or else…"With that, he turned and disappeared back into the pub without even finishing his sentence.Kayson stared dag
Jordan's expression was dark. A vein throbbed menacingly in his forehead, and he cast his son a pitiful look. "Who did this to you, Kayson? How dare he even lay a finger on my son?"Whoever did this was going to pay for this!This was Kayson Wheeler, the heir to the Wheeler family fortune! Who would dare to beat up someone so powerful? This was clearly a threat to the family name!Kayson feigned sorrow and replied, sobbing, "Dad, it was Stonehead from Wallflower! He was the one who had beaten me up?"Jordan was beside himself with rage. "Stonehead? Why would he do this to you? He must've been under someone's orders to do this to you?""It was Liam Cole! The good-for-nothing son of the Coles—the same useless man who married into the Stones!" Kayson replied through gritted teeth. Every word that came out of his mouth felt excruciating because of the injuries that he had sustained on his face. "Liam Cole? I would never have thought he could be capable of something like this. Very w
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
