Gabriel was not a person who would pity a woman. To him, only the person with absolute power had the right to speak. And the only person he admired was Quentin.Celena was stunned upon hearing that. She felt a little troubled as well. She wanted to refute, but she was a little scared of how ferocious Garbiel looked.The men at the table wanted to impress Celena and the other women. With the help of alcohol, they got up and shouted at Gabriel and his men, "Who the hell are you? Don't you know that Wonderland Restaurant was reserved by our manager? Who are you to kick us out? I think you're the person who should get the hell out of here?""That's right! Do you think you're thugs just because you act like one?""I call the cops on you if you continue putting on this act! We're having dinner here. Get the hell out of our room!""Hurry up and leave! Get the hell out of here now!"In an instant, all of Celena's male staff members were all worked up, pointing and cursing angrily at Gabr
They heard that Quentin had a trusted subordinate who had just been released from jail. Gabriel should be the one who was jailed for stabbing a few people a few years ago. They did not expect that Gabriel would be released after just a few years.Everyone knew about the vicious stabbing Gabriel did. All the people who scolded Gabriel earlier were so frightened that their legs turned to jelly. Some of the female staff members looked as white as a ghost in fear. Their eyes were filled with terror. Some of the cowardly ones even started to sob.Gabriel sneered and looked at all the staff with a frosty gaze before he bellowed, "Tell me again. Who the hell is the one who should get out of here?"All the staff hung their heads in fear and whispered, "We should leave. It's us who should get out of there."They wanted to leave upon saying that.Seeing that everybody wanted to leave and the team-building activity was interrupted made Celena angry.She wanted to argue with Gabriel, so sh
Celena was behind Liam. She was so frightened to see Gabriel swinging his arms that her heart started to pound. She shouted in fear, "Liam! Watch out!"However, Liam caught Gabriel's fist, gripping it tight. He exerted a little force and everyone could hear the sound of bones cracking.Both of Gabriel's arms were crushed by Liam.In an instant, Gabriel's miserable wailing echoed through the entire private room. Feeling that that was not enough to vent his anger, Liam released his grip and kicked Gabriel on his stomach, sending him flying across the room. Gabriel crashed into the couch on the other end, knocking it over before slamming down on the floor.Liam's face was incredibly frosty and his face was icy as he looked at Gabriel, who was lying on the floor. "How dare you attack my wife in front of me? Are you trying to get yourself killed?""Who the fuck are you, you fucking bastard? Guys, get him! Kill him!" Gabriel barked while glaring at Liam viciously from the floor.Gabr
Terror and fright spread across everyone's faces when they heard this, but Liam was unfazed. They all shouted, "Liam, don't behave rashly! Gabriel is not someone you want to mess with! We won't get out of this alive!""Please don't do anything impulsive! You're going to be the death of us all!""Say something, Ms. Stone! You can't let us all suffer at the hands of your husband's impulsive decisions, right? We can't afford to mess with Gabriel! He's going to kill us all!""Stop, Liam!""Damn it! We're all going to die! Gabriel works for Mr. Jacka, and he won't let any of us off the hook after this!""What are we going to do? I'm too young to die! I haven't even gotten a chance to experience this world yet…"Liam, however, was oblivious to all this. He scoffed and glanced at everyone. "I've already beaten him up. It won't make a difference whether I stop here or not, will it?" With that, Liam strode over to Gabriel and stomped on his arm so hard that everyone could hear the excru
As much as she detested these people, she never expected Liam to beat them up like this. However, at the same time she did not blame Liam for this. He was just trying to protect her, but now she was concerned that these men would return for revenge one day. Benjamin was equally worried. "Are you okay, Mr. Cole, Ms. Stone? I… "Celena smiled apologetically at him. "We're very sorry, Mr. Solomon, for the state of this room. Don't worry! We'll gladly pay for the damages!"Benjamin would not even dream of making Celena pay for any of this. If anything, he was worried that asking Celena to do so would turn Liam against him. He let out an awkward chuckle and shook his head. "There's no need for that, Ms. Stone! I should be the one apologizing to you instead for allowing those people to enter and ruin your joyous occasion! I'll send someone over to clean up this mess now."With that, he retreated out of the room. Soon, a few waiters came knocking. They cleared the tables, cleaned up the
"How naive are you to think you can take care of all this?""I'm heartbroken! Ms. Stone shouldn't have chosen such a useless yet arrogant husband like you! She deserves better!"Liam was not at all fazed by their criticism and frank insults to him. Instead, he sat calmly at his seat, chewing his food idly. Celena, on the other hand, could not tolerate these. Her expression darkened, and she snapped, "That's enough! I forbid anyone to continue talking about this! If anything happens, I'll take care of it. I promise that I won't let anything happen to any of you."With that, she took out her phone and made some calls, asking for help, but everyone she spoke to immediately balked when they heard that it had to do with Gabriel and Mr. Jacka. They found excuses to turn down helping her. Eventually, the news of Liam and Celena's run-in with Gabriel spread like wildfire through the entire city. Eventually, no one dared to pick up Celena's calls anymore.Celena was growing more and more
"I don't care if he's trying to prove a point. Now's not the time to do so! What should we do? Mr. Jacka is already here, and he's certainly not here to have a nice cup of tea with us!""Damn it! It's all Liam's fault! We wouldn't be in this predicament now if it weren't for him!""If only he would have swallowed his pride and just let Gabriel have this room just now! He was just trying to show off, but now it's backfired in his face! Mr. Jacka will make him pay for this!""What should we do now? I knew I shouldn't have come today! I had planned to go spend time with my family but turned them down because I thought this company lunch was more important. If I had known…"Celena's employees murmured amongst themselves nervously. Some of the employees mustered up the courage to speak directly to Mr. Jacka. "Mr. Jacka, we're all innocent. This was all Liam's fault and had nothing to do with us! He was the one who had beaten up Gabriel, and if anything, you should take it out on him.
Everyone was rendered utterly speechless by this. None of them dared to say a word and instead stared in disbelief at Liam, then at Gabriel, who was howling in excruciating pain. How dare he pick on Quentin's right hand man right in front of him?He was going to be punished for this!Everyone gaped at Liam, unable to believe their own eyes. Some of Celena's employees were so terrified by this that they passed out!Even Celena could hardly believe what she had just witnessed. Her eyes were as wide as saucers as she stared at Liam. She could not help finding this sight rather familiar. It reminded her of exactly how Liam had looked the last time they had a run-in with the Walkers!Quentin's expression darkened as he stared at a whining Gabriel on the floor. A menacing look crossed his face as he said, "Very courageous, young man! You're one of the first people who ever dared to pick on my men right under my nose! Unfortunately, blind courage won't bring you far, son! I'm going to m
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
