Anger washed over Jordan's face as he snapped to attention. Skylar's screams spurred him to act, but Liam's steely stare and the unnerving presence he exuded stopped Jordan abruptly. His body shook, his legs turned to jelly, and he stumbled back to Skylar's side, pointing at Liam with a shaky finger. "Liam! Don't get ahead of yourself! Do you realize who my wife is? Her big brother's the top dog at Drunham City's military headquarters, and he's on his way! You hit my wife! Just wait till my brother-in-law shows up, then you're toast!"Skylar's heart sank at Jordan's cowardice. He could not even defend her honor. Her anger surged anew as she glared at him, then turned her wrath back on Liam, spitting venom with every word."Alright! Just you wait! My brother will be here any second, and I'll make sure you're begging for forgiveness on your knees! I'll see to it that one of your hands is useless!"Liam met Skylar's threats with a composed response, "Oh? Really? I'm waiting."At the s
The soldier's hands did not fumble. He caught the medal on the fly. However, the moment he got a good look at the gold glinting in his palm, the emblem and inscription etched into it, he froze as he had turned to stone.That was...The highest honor!Straight from the central command!That was the medal someone got for being a hero in Biskeland, for deeds that changed the course of history!The kind of medal that would make even a general snap to attention and salute on sight!Most guys who earned that medal did not make it out alive.However, Liam was casually tossing it around with not a scratch on him.The soldier wasted no time. With shaky hands, he cradled the medal like it was the most precious thing in the world and bolted to Adrian. He snapped to attention, saluting, "Mr. Adrian Fabris..."Adrian, clueless about what the soldier was holding, was already losing his patience. "What's the hold-up? I ordered you to bring him to me. Do I have to do everything myself?"The
Skylar suddenly rushed over, pointing at Liam in tears and shouting at the top of her lungs, "Adrian! How could you do that? He got Kayson severely beaten up to the point that he was hospitalized! He even slapped me earlier! Hurry up and catch him! I want his limbs crippled! I want him to apologize to me on his knees!"In the next second, Adrian gave Skylar a tight slap. He was furious as he berated her, "Shut your damn mouth! Are you crazy? Do you know who he is? How dare you be so rude and want the Guardian Deity of Biskland to apologize to you on your knees? Skylar, do you have a death wish?"Skylar was frozen in place, cupping her face that was slapped twice. Her eyes were wide as she looked at Adrian in utter disbelief."A-Adrian, what the hell are you doing? I think you're the crazy one. I'm your sister. He slapped me, yet you slap me because of him? How could you side with an outsider instead?" Skylar was infuriated. She was slapped twice in a row. Once by Liam, whom she lo
Adrian's words shattered the little bit of hope Jordan was holding onto.Jordan's legs gave way, making him drop to his knees. His whole body was trembling as he crawled to Liam and begged for forgiveness, "K-King Pendragon, I was wrong. I didn't know it was you, and I offended you. "I'm begging you, please. You're a great man. Please forgive a lowly person like me. Please spare me, just this once. Please have mercy on me. Forgive me."It was only then Skylar realized what was going on. She was dazed as she stood in place. She figured out how severe the situation was after she saw Jordan begging for forgiveness on his knees. Her legs turned to jelly, and she dropped to her knees to beg Liam for mercy as well."Liam, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I didn't know you were the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors. If I knew that, I never would've dared to offend you. Liam—no, King Pendragon, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I'm just an ignorant woman. I'm shallow. Please spare me," Skyl
"Dad, Mom, Uncle Adrian, you're finally back. You must take revenge for me. You must bring Liam back and make him apologize to me on his knees. If not, I'm not going to live anymore."All Jordan felt was the burning pain on his cheek. He was extremely nervous. He could tell at a glance that Kayson was not severely injured at all. He only pretended that his arms and legs were broken.In a fit of anger, Jordan pointed at Kayson and cursed, "Shut your damn mouth! Go to hell!"Kayson was so stunned to hear those words that he forgot to continue pretending to moan in pain. He simply just stared at Jordan and Skylar in a daze.With grievances written all over his face, Kayson whined in tears, "Mom, look what Dad did! How could he do this to me? How could he tell me to go to hell? Ah! I don't want to live anymore! I'm done living!"Skylar felt sorry for Kayson, but she did not dare to ask Jordan to fulfill his wish like she used to do. She did not dare to say much. She just kept giving K
"I'm sorry! I'm very sorry, sir! He-he's gone crazy. Please don't mind him. You're a big-hearted man, so please don't hold it against him.""That's right, sir. He's lost his mind and is talking nonsense. Please have mercy and forgive him!"Jordan and Skylar kept begging Liam for mercy on their knees.Kayson could not wrap his head around it as he saw that. With a frown and confusion, he asked, "Mom, Dad, what are you doing? Why are you begging a loser like Liam on your knees? Why did you call him sir? What are you talking about?"Upon hearing that, Jordan suddenly got up and rushed toward Kayson. He grabbed Kayson and made him kneel before he bellowed, "How dare you, you insolent brat! Hurry up and apologize to the commander on your knees."How dare you address him by his name? He's the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors, King Pendragon. Quickly beg him for forgiveness on your knees or you're dead meat!"Those words were mind-blowing to Kayson. He was stunned when he he
Liam was not a ruthless person. Some people just need to be taught a lesson, and it would be fine as long as they could remember what they learned. There was no need to have them destroyed.Jordan, Kayson, and Skylar waited a few minutes after Liam left before they finally let out a deep sigh of relief.Kayson felt all his strength was drained. He slumped on the floor, shaking all over.Jordan panted heavily as if he dodged a bullet by the skin of his teeth. It took him a while before he got up, walked up to Kayson, and started raining punches on him.While beating Kayson, Jordan bellowed, "You useless brat! Do you know how big of a trouble you've caused? I didn't care how you usually mess around, and I let you be. But how big of a mess you've gotten us into? Our family was almost destroyed because of you. We could've vanished from Drunham City! I'm going to beat you to a pulp! How dare you create trouble and even pretend to be injured!"Kayson lay on the floor, hugging his head w
Filled with excitement, Celena stepped out of the elevator and saw Liam standing in the middle of the lobby, unharmed. Tears instantly streamed down her face. She quickly ran toward Liam and hugged him, sobbing in his arms."You're finally back! I've been worried sick about you. How are you? Did they give you a hard time?" Celena sobbed.Liam was stunned by Celena's hug. It seemed that he was incredibly important to Celena. She was so worried about him.Thinking of that, a faint smile appeared on Liam's face. He felt touched. His gaze was so tender as he looked at Celena.He hugged Celena gently and comforted her in a tender voice, "Alright. Don't worry anymore. I'm back, am I not? I'm fine. They didn't give me a hard time."It was only then Celena released Liam from her grip. Liam looked right at her with an affectionate gaze and gently wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes."Alright, now. Don't cry anymore. You're not going to look pretty anymore if you keep crying," he t
