Those soldiers looked fierce and serious. Oh goodness!

The thought struck the middle-aged man like lightning, draining the color from his face. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his knees shook uncontrollably.

Then, his legs buckled, and he crashed to the floor, a yellow stain spreading beneath him—a clear sign of his terror.

He was just a regular businessman, unaccustomed to staring down the barrel of a gun, let alone dozens.

As he hit the deck, the others in the meeting room caught a glimpse of the scene outside and froze, panic seizing them. Those who thought to leave with the businessman were then rooted to the spot, too scared to budge.

In that tense standoff, Calum's voice cut through the silence, composed as a cucumber: "Gentlemen, why don't you take a seat and let's continue, shall we?"

His words had them scurrying back to their chairs in an instant, and the door to the conference room shut with a decisive click.

Silence reigned. No one dared to raise their voice against

    However, when they finally got a good look at the man who entered, they were stunned. Who was that guy in casual clothes, looking like he shopped at a street market?Liam entered the conference room with an air of nonchalance, and amidst the crowd's stunned stares, he walked over to the head of the table and took his seat.Was that famed Commander-in-chief of Pendragon?That was the mysterious King Pendragon?How could such an ordinary-looking guy, dressed so plainly, be him?No way, that can not be happening! Is that him?Amid the crowd, heads bowed in deference, someone caught a glimpse of Liam and shot up, pointing at him in utter shock. "You, you, you, Are you Liam? The guy from the Cole family who leeched off the Stones, the black sheep?"Liam sat at the head of the table, his expression unreadable as he heard the accusation, but his eyes suddenly flashed with a deadly frigid fury.At that very moment, Calum and Eaden, standing by his side, lashed out in his defense."Ins

    The attendees' gazes toward Eaden were filled with eagerness to please as they swarmed around him. With respectful nods and wide grins, they said, "Eaden, we had no idea you were so well-connected! Knowing someone as legendary as the Commander-in-chief of Pendragon and keeping it under wraps? You had us all fooled!""Seriously, Eaden! Rubbing shoulders with the big shots and you say nothing?""Eaden, did you know all along that Liam was the Commander-in-chief of Pendragon everyone's been whispering about?""And about Mr. Cole being King Pendragon, are we the only ones in the loop?"Questions flew from every direction, and even Eaden was reeling from the revelation. He greeted them with a polite nod and a smile, "Folks, Mr. Cole's identity needs to stay under wraps for the time being. You know why it's important. Plus, Mr. Cole isn't one for the limelight! He's got pressing matters in Drunham City, so let's all keep a lid on it, shall we?"And about Mr. Cole's recent directive, you

    Liam chuckled and playfully pinched her cheek, feigning sternness. "What if you got hurt, huh? Imagine if mommy found out you got hurt while out with daddy. She'd be upset, you know."Jovie giggled behind her hands, squirming in his arms. "Oops, my bad, Daddy!""Alright, let's go have some fun!" Liam said, his voice warm with laughter.He carried her off toward the heart of the amusement park, where laughter and music filled the air.An hour later, they settled in a quiet corner. Liam gently set Jovie on a bench. "I'm off to get you some ice cream. Stay put, okay? Don't wander off, and don't talk to strangers. Got it?"Jovie nodded earnestly, the little ears on her headband sparkling. "Okay, daddy! Hurry back!"Liam gave Jovie's hair a gentle tousle and flashed a reassuring smile. Noticing a park employee nearby, he asked her to watch Jovie for a moment. Confident that Jovie was safe, he stood up and strolled over to the ice cream truck nearby.No sooner had Liam stepped away th

    Calum did not waste a second after the call. He found Malcolm's number and hit the dial. The moment Malcolm picked up, Calum did not mince words. "Malcolm! Orders from the top! Lockdown, now! No one in or out of Drunham City! Get your troops on it!! Move, move, move!!!"Malcolm, in the middle of a meeting at the Drunham City garrison, was taken aback by the sudden call from Calum, and even more by his demand, a mix of shock and bewilderment on his face."General, why this sudden lockdown? What's going on? You know as well as I do, a lockdown's no trivial matter. It could spark a major panic."If Liam ordered that lockdown to hit the Hughes family in advance?Calum's voice crackled through the phone again, "Why? Malcolm, you seriously have the gall to ask why? This is Drunham City, your turf! In the middle of the day, our little princess was snatched right out from under our noses! You're lucky you're not already in deep trouble, and you dare to ask why?

    Ignoring the stunned crowd, Malcolm strode out of the conference room. "Adrian, get a message to police chief Howard now," he ordered as he walked. "I want his team on full alert and cooperating without question. And remember, whatever happens, we need to find the Commander's daughter and bring her back safe and sound – fast! If we mess this up, it won't just be your necks on the line, but mine as well!""Understood, Sir! I'll get in touch with Chief Howard right away!" Adrian, who was right there with him, grasped the severity of the situation, his expression grim and determined.Who could have been so bold as to kidnap King Pendragon's daughter in the light of day? Whoever was behind that brazen act then crossed King Pendragon himself, and they were bound to face the fiery wrath of the Commander!That was the same King Pendragon who once led legions—a man who stood before armies numbering a million, his presence magnified by his armor, a sight that inspired awe in all directions!

    The district police chiefs and their deputies of the Drunham City all wore glances of sheer panic as they turned their eyes to Howard.Howard, hearing their pleas, slammed his palm down on the desk, his face a mask of icy fury, his eyes blazing red with rage. He bellowed at them, "You have the nerve to ask me what's wrong? How do you even run your beats? Do you have any idea that the Commander, King Pendragon's lady, was kidnapped in broad daylight at an amusement park? Listen up, I don't care how you do it, but you better find the Commander's daughter, and fast! If anything happens to her, it's our heads on the line!"Boom!His words struck like lightning, leaving everyone shell-shocked!What??The Commander's daughter??Those who snapped out of it cried out in disbelief, " Mr. Mosier, you can't be serious? The Commander, King Pendragon, is in Drunham City? His daughter's here?""Yeah, Mr. Mosier, are you sure about this? However, how could that even be possible? The Commander'

    Celena was utterly terrified by the sudden turn of events. She stared pale-faced at the soldiers around her, not daring to move even a muscle.

The heavy thumping of his boots echoed through the silent room with every step he took. All eyes were on him as he stepped onto the stage.He carried himself with great authority, and clearly, this man was not one to be messed with. He scanned the room as if searching for someone. Finally, he announced in a deep, resounding voice, "Do not fear, ladies and gentlemen. We are here on a routine check after receiving a tip-off regarding your conference. We will release you all once we have carried out our investigation, and the process will be quicker and smoother if you all cooperate. "Now, I would kindly request you get your documentation ready so that my men may confirm your identity."Everyone

    Derek nodded earnestly and replied, "Of course it's true. My sources have never failed me. I wouldn't have trusted you with this information if I didn't think you'd be interested."Celena stared at him for a moment, then turned to glance in the direction of the people he had pointed. She could not help but be tempted by the offer. She considered this for a few moments, then accepted his offer. "Alright then, Mr. Duncan. I'll go with you. Thank you for inviting me."The smile on Derek's face widened. He could hardly believe his luck—Celena had agreed to go with him! Taking that first step was always the hardest, but he had done it!Unbeknownst to Celena, Derek already knew her long before their first meeting at the conference. Her name was known far and wide in Drunham City, not least because of her beauty, but because of her—in the eyes of the public—tragic marriage. Celena had earned herself a reputation as one of the most beautiful women Drunham City had ever seen, and although

    The attention they received, however, was large due to Celena and her young, handsome companion, who was a man named Derek Duncan. Their attractive looks, both individually and combined, were easily the topic of discussion that night. Everyone who laid eyes on them admired both their good looks and brains, for certainly only the cream of the crop were allowed to attend this prestigious event. What made this feat even more impressive was the fact that they were both so young!Aside from her beauty, Celena's name was already known far and wide in the business world, not just because of her strong leadership but due to her association with Liam and her company's connections with many international corporations. She had started her business from scratch, but within a few short months, she had single handedly built it up to become one of the top ten grossing companies in Drunham City.There were hundreds of people gathered there tonight, and their seats had been allocated according to t

    The moment Clifford left, Kastor turned to Liam with a wide grin, all hint of his hostility now gone. "Mr. Cole, thank God I arrived just in time."He raised his brows as he said this, and Liam took this to mean he was trying to claim credit. Truth be told, he would have been able to handle things on his own even without Kastor's help, but he decided this was a detail Kastor did not need to know. Instead, he returned Kastor's smile graciously. Kastor, like a child, burst into laughter at this. No further words were exchanged, but they understood the message nonetheless.Jeffrey also grinned. "Kastor, what brings you here all of a sudden?"Kastor replied, "Ah, you might not know this, Mr. Stein, but I actually own this very restaurant that you're sitting in right now. One of my employees called me for help, citing that a brawl was about to break out, so I rushed over immediately. I had no idea it would turn out to be you and Mr. Cole!""Ah, what a pleasant surprise, then!" Jeffrey

    Clifford scowled upon hearing this. He cracked his knuckles menacingly as he stared at Kastor through narrowed eyes.Kastor did not seem at all intimidated by this. Instead, he brushed past him and approached Liam, smiling. "Mr. Cole, I apologize for the delay. I rushed over as soon as I heard the news, but I was late anyway. I'm so sorry for the wait."Liam's expression eased up slightly. He tugged the corners of his mouth into a strained smile but did not reply. Clifford's expression turned even more sour when he sensed Kastor's tone. He asked sharply, "What is the meaning of this, Kastor? Are you intent on making me your enemy?"Clifford's reputation was known far and wide, and many feared him, but Kastor was not one of them. He shot Clifford a look of utmost disdain and replied, smirking, "Yes, Clifford, that's exactly what I'm going to do. So what if we will be enemies from now on? What are you going to do about it?"He was confident that Clifford would not dare to retaliate

    One of the muscle-bound goons stowed his submachine gun and drew a hefty machete, nearly a foot long, from his side. He advanced on Liam with deliberate steps.Calum and Cirocco were poised for a fight, ready to jump in at Liam's command and wipe out the roomful of petty thugs.However, Liam had other plans. He remained seated, an unfazed smirk playing on his lips, watching the approaching thug with the machete.The thug, mistaking Liam's calm for fear, grinned viciously and raised his machete, aiming for Liam's arm.However, in a flash, the scene changed.A figure hurtled through the air, and with a resounding crash, the thug was sent flying into the wine rack. The rack toppled, bottles shattering, their contents spilling and perfuming the air with the scent of alcohol.The thug hit the ground, blood spurting from his mouth, his eyes wide with shock. He lay there, lifeless, staring at Liam, dead before he hit the floor.The room plunged into a deathly hush.Corie clapped a h

    Corie was also shaken, her fists clenched tight under the table as she watched Liam with wide, fearful eyes, barely managing to whisper, "Liam!"Liam stood there, steady as ice, without a trace of fear. "Don't worry, I've got this," he assured.Corie, seeing Liam's calm dismissal of the threat and recalling his proven strength, felt her fear ebb away.She could not explain it, but she had an unwavering faith in Liam.Across from them, Clifford lounged back, his legs thrown carelessly over the table, his gaze dripping with disdain. "You don't know who you're messing with, do you?" he sneered. "Karpos works for me, Clifford. And yet, you've got the gall to attack my men in broad daylight? You're in over your head!"Jeffrey was about to chime in, but one look at Liam's icy demeanor and he thought better of it, choosing instead to watch the scene unfold in silence.He was curious to see just how Liam would handle that.Liam chuckled, a sound as cold as the winter wind, and fixed Cli

    With that command, he strode into the restaurant."At once, my lord!"His men obediently echoed, herding Wilson and the others toward the private room where Liam and his party awaited.Karpos strutted ahead, his arrogance restored. Despite a hasty bandage job, his appearance was ragged.As Karpos led Clifford and his entourage into the restaurant, the owner and the servers shuddered in fear, their bodies quaking.Clifford shot the restaurant owner a frosty look that sent him scurrying over with a forced, fearful smile. "Lord Clifford, I had no idea you'd arrived. I'm so sorry for not greeting you at the door," he stammered out an apology.However, Clifford just gave him another icy stare and strode past, following Karpos up the stairs to the private room.The owner, too scared to utter another word, followed them up, his heart pounding.They reached the private room in no time. With a commanding gesture from Clifford, a dozen muscular men in combat gear stormed in.Liam and hi

    How could someone from Biskeland throw away their pride like that, groveling for mercy? It was downright embarrassing. They were the ones who started it all, picking on her. Why should she be the one to grovel?The more Corie thought about it, the more her disdain for Wilson grew. "Wilson, if you're so eager to leave, then go. I'm not budging. This mess started with me, and I don't care how tough those guys are—I'm staying right here with Liam to face whatever comes," Corie declared, her voice icy. She grabbed a nearby chair and sat down with a defiant thud."Corie, you!" Wilson started, but she turned her head away, dismissing him with a cold shoulder that only served to stoke his anger. "Fine! Have it your way! However, you'll regret it when Clifford and his goons show up!" he snapped. With that, Wilson stormed out of the room, his entourage trailing behind him in a rush.Corie watched Wilson and his crew scatter like scared rabbits, and with a sneer of contempt, she spat out, "
