Chapter 473

Author: Voice From Heaven
"And who's pulling the strings?" Liam asked, his voice icy, as he processed the update.

"We haven't pinned down the mastermind yet," Howard responded. Liam's anger boiled over. He stared out the window and bellowed, "Dig deeper! I don't care who's involved or what forces are at play! I want answers. Someone dared to target my daughter, and they're going to face the full force of my fury!"

Meanwhile, in a desolate part of Drunham City's Western Precinct, a black van raced down a muddy, rutted track before screeching to a halt in front of a weed-choked shell of an unfinished building.

Bang!

The doors opened and two young men in black leaped out. They scanned the area with hawk-like vigilance, ensuring no threats lurked in the shadows. Only after a silent nod to each other did they proceed.

One of them strode to the van's rear and yanked open the back door, hauling out Jovie, who was trussed up like a Thanksgiving turkey.

Jovie writhed and wailed, her cheeks streaked with tears, as

    The sound of the growl sent chills down Jovie's spine, and she whipped around. In the weak light filtering through the top of the door, she saw the hulking form of a wild dog. Heart pounding, she scrambled back until the cold wall stopped her retreat. With nowhere left to hide, she crouched down, hugging herself tightly, shaking uncontrollably as the wild dog inched closer.Jovie's eyes, wide and shimmering with tears, were locked on the stray dog inching closer. Panic surged through her as she sobbed, "Daddy, please... I need you to save me... Why aren't you here yet? Please, big dog, don't eat me. I'm not tasty at all..."The dog, oblivious to her pleas, halted just a couple of steps away. It let out a menacing growl before lunging at her, snarling viciously, its fangs gleaming and drool reeking as it sprayed from its jaws."Ah!!"Jovie's scream, sharp with terror, pierced the gloom of the tiny room.The hulking dog, jaws agape, launched itself at Jovie. Her screams, a mix of ag

    Jovie's touch was soft and tender, and the stray dog seemed to relish every gentle stroke, wagging its head and giving Jovie's hand a grateful lick. It then snuggled up against her leg, letting out soft, contented whines.The ticklish sensation of the dog's tongue made Jovie forget her fears for a moment, and she burst into laughter. In the dim light, she noticed the dog's front leg was still bleeding. Without hesitation, she ripped a ribbon from her skirt, her small hands working with surprising care as she wrapped the wound."There you go, pup. Jovie's got you," she cooed, echoing her mother's lessons. "See, I can do it just like Mom showed me. Mom, Dad will come for us, I know it."Just then, the iron gate screeched open.Two brash young men, armed with steel pipes, strutted in, oozing cockiness.The dog, once lying quietly, sprang to its feet, positioning itself protectively in front of Jovie. Its eyes glowed a fierce red as it glared at the intruders, teeth bared in a menacin

    The stray dog initially put up a fight, but with its front legs injured and a heavy chain around its neck, it had no choice but to try and dodge the relentless blows.The air in the dilapidated building was thick with the dog's agonized yelps and whimpers.Jovie, crouched in a corner, watched the dog being pummeled until it collapsed, whimpering pitifully with blood oozing from its mouth. She burst into tears and ran to the dog's side, throwing her arms around it. She tugged desperately at Yaromir's pant leg, pleading, "Please, stop! You're killing him, please, no more... he's dying..."Yaromir, already seething with anger, became even more irritated by Jovie's tearful begging. He kicked her hard in the stomach, sending her sprawling. Jovie lay there, curled up in pain, sobbing as she gazed at the beaten dog.Yaromir spat toward Jovie and snarled, "Disgusting! You damn brat, you think you can tell me what to do? Feeling sorry for a mangy mutt, huh? You've gotten attached pretty qui

    He did not stop there. He delivered several more vicious stabs to the dog, which howled in pain and let go of Yaromir's arm before collapsing into a bloody heap, twitching. After freeing himself, Yaromir nursed his wounded arm and gave the dying dog a few spiteful kicks. Then, he bellowed at a young man nearby, "Damn, get me to a hospital, now!" Once they were gone, the door to the dimly lit room slammed shut again. Jovie, tears streaming down her face, scrambled to her feet and collapsed beside the dog. She wept as she watched the dog struggle for breath in a growing pool of blood. "Please, big doggie, don't die. Just hold on, my dad will come for us... You can't die, okay? He'll save us, and I'll treat you to your favorite food..." However, as Jovie clung to the dog, her words dissolved into sobs. The dog took its last breath and lay still. Jovie's cries turned into wails of despair as she lay over the dog, her heart silently pleading for her father's rescue. Meanwhile, Yar

    Yaromir, seeing Jovie's attempt to escape, stalked over with a steel pipe in hand. His fingers tightened around the cold metal, a cruel smirk playing on his lips. With a look of brutality, he raised the pipe high, ready to bring it crashing down on Jovie's legs.Bang!In the moment Jovie thought her end had come, a gunshot pierced the silence, followed by Yaromir's agonized howl.A bullet had sliced through the air, striking Yaromir's arm that wielded the steel pipe, penetrating it and spraying blood in a gruesome arc."Ah! My hand!" Yaromir dropped the pipe, clutching his wounded arm, his screams filling the air.His eyes, wide with shock, darted to the building's exterior where a fleet of military Jeeps, patrol cars with their lights flashing, and even armored riot vehicles had assembled.In a heartbeat, a swarm of heavily armed officers, patrolmen, and riot specialists leaped from the vehicles, swiftly encircling the building. Their weapons were trained on Yaromir and his acco

    Boom!The image of Jovie being kicked sent Liam over the edge. He kicked, striking Yaromir squarely in the chest and sending him crashing into an old, abandoned shelving unit, which toppled with a resounding crash.The force of the kick shattered some of Yaromir's ribs. He hit the ground hard, clutching his belly with his good arm and spitting out blood, his eyes wide with shock as he stared up at Liam.Liam picked up a long steel pipe from the ground and advanced on Yaromir, each step heavy with lethal intent.At that moment, Liam's rage seemed to pierce the heavens, and the darkening sky above Drunham City mirrored the storm brewing within him.Thunder rumbled ominously across the darkened sky.Liam stood tall, the steel pipe in his grip aimed at Yaromir sprawled on the ground. His eyes were icy as he demanded, "Out with it! Who's behind this?"Blood dribbled from Yaromir's mouth as he shook his head, panic-stricken. "I can't tell you! I just can't! They'd kill my family!"Ho

    Inside, Quentin lounged on a sofa in the inner hall, eyes covered, encircled by a bevy of sultry women whose laughter tinkled as lightly as the rain outside.The room was filled with the allure of women who were the talk of the town, internet sensations, and lesser-known starlets of the entertainment world. They all had that same, almost manufactured beauty, but each boasted her own unique charm, from statuesque to seductive. They paraded their ample curves and long, pale legs with pride.Their intermittent moans were like a siren's call, impossible to ignore.Quentin, his face half-hidden by a sheer veil, held a cigar in one hand and cupped a voluptuous breast with the other. He drew the woman close, whispered into her shoulder, and let the smoke curl from his lips."My lovely, where do you think you're going? Come, sit with me. Let me cherish you tonight, shall we?"The woman, her body a plaything in Quentin's hands, blushed at his words and settled against him, half-reclined an

    The men snapped to attention and said with the utmost respect, "Mr. Jacka, we've got trouble. The club in the south district's been shut down!""The clubs and casinos up north just got raided too, and the cops hauled all our guys away!""Jacobsmeyer's bars and KTV joints are locked up, and their people got carted off by the cops as well!"Boom!Right then, a clap of thunder shook the sky, and a flash of lightning lit up the whole inner hall, casting Quentin's dark scowl in stark relief.Quentin was livid!He had ruled Drunham City for years, and nobody had ever had the guts to challenge him so brazenly, much less shut down a swath of his operations!With fury etched on his face, Quentin glared at his men and roared, "Who is it? Who's behind this?!""It was me!"Out of nowhere, a voice as icy as the Arctic cut through the tension, sending shivers down the spine.Then, a figure cloaked in a deadly aura stepped through the front door.Malcolm, clad in battle gear, held a large

    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

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
