The glass shards dug into Eaden's face, and blood gushed forth. The searing pain locked his body in place. He balled his fists, his face and neck flushing a deep red from the agony, but he did not make a sound.The Second Lieutenant sneered at the sight. "Look at you, showing some spine! However, I get a kick out of breaking tough guys like you. Eaden, I'm well aware you're the big shot of Drunham City's underworld. However, today, you're nothing to me. Snuffing you out would be as easy as stepping on an ant!""Please, Officer, I honestly don't know what I did to tick off senior captain Hughes. If I'm going to die, at least let me know what for."Eaden was sprawled on the ground, his cheek pressed into the dirt, blood pooling around his face. Despite the searing pain, he mustered a weak smile and looked up at the Second Lieutenant.The officer stepped back, adjusted his collar with a flick, and said with an icy edge, "You haven't crossed our senior captain Hughes, but he wants a sp
Soon, everybody in the company was taken to the lobby. Seeing that more and more people crouched in the lobby with their hands on their heads, Eaden and the few gang leaders looked increasingly solemn. They had no idea if the young man was able to escape.At that moment, two soldiers came rushing toward the second lieutenant. They saluted him respectfully and said, "Sir, a man got away!""What?" the second lieutenant barked. Then, he pointed at the soldier who spoke and bellowed, "What the hell were you guys doing? How could you let one get away? There are so many of you, yet you can't even catch a person? What are you still standing here in a daze? Hurry up and go after him! You have to bring him back!""Yes, sir!" Both the soldiers shouted before rushing out to go after the person who escaped.The second lieutenant sneered. His expression darkened and his gaze was incredibly frosty as he scanned the people crouching on the floor. The anger in his eyes was clear as day. He was
The driver saw from the rearview mirror that the young man was a mess and his right leg was bleeding profusely. Feeling concerned, he asked, "I see that you're injured. Do you want me to first take you to the hospital?"The young man covered his injury, looked anxiously at the direction he came from, and said in a frosty voice, "No need. Take me straight to the garrison of Drunham City. Hurry up!"Seeing that the young man was insistent, the driver could only shake his head helplessly.Half an hour later, the young man got out of the cab at the entrance of the garrison of Drunham City.The garrison looked incomparably formidable. There were two armed soldiers standing guard at either side of the door while troops and troops of soldiers patrolled within the vicinity.The young man could not help but gulp when he saw that. Dragging his bleeding leg along, he limped his way to the guardhouse.Once the soldier guarding the entrance saw that he was covered in blood, he pointed his gun
After one of the soldiers took the record, he continued icily, "Why did you come to the garrison? Do you know we have the right to detain and fatally shoot you for trespassing?"Cameron was dying to meet Malcolm and complete the task his boss gave him. Feeling anxious, he said, "Sir, I didn't purposely barge into the garrison. I'm looking for General Lynch for an urgent matter! It's truly extremely urgent! I'm not lying! I'm begging you, please let me see General Lynch soon or it'll be too late!"The soldier slammed the table violently before he pointed at Cameron and bellowed, "Cameron! This is the garrison of Drunham City! This is no place for you to play house! Not only is General Lynch the person in charge of this garrison, but he's also the mayor of Drunham City. He's a busy man. Can anybody just see him whenever they want?"You'd better come clean on your reason to barge into this place. Also, what's the deal with the gunshot wound on your leg? You'd better tell us everythin
Cameron's face was flushed from the frustration and helplessness. He said, "Sir, I'm not doing anything illegal. I'm not lying either. I-I just came to the wrong place. Hurry up and let me go.""Cameron! Stop beating around the bush and come clean! I think you're extremely suspicious. You have a gunshot wound, and that wasn't all. In one moment, you said you needed to see General Lynch for an urgent matter in one moment, then in another moment, you said you came to the wrong place and no longer wished to see him. Hurry up and explain why you came here!"Seeing that the more he explained the messier the situation got, Cameron simply kept his mouth shut and did not say another word. The two soldiers had their eyebrows tightly furrowed and exchanged looks with each other when they saw the way Cameron acted.Right as both parties were at a stalemate, the door to the interrogation room was opened, and in came two police officers.Both the soldiers immediately got up with smiles after th
Bradley smiled and sat back down. He continued, "Go on. What's the urgent matter that you need to see General Lynch for? Also, what's the deal with the gunshot wound on your leg?"Cameron felt helpless that the situation got to that point. Having no choice, he told the officers everything.Bradley's expression got more and more solemn upon hearing Cameron's words. With a frown, he asked again to confirm, "Cameron, are you telling the truth? Are you sure you're one of Eaden's men? And Trevyn sent his men to take over Eaden's company? Also, Mr. and Mr. Cole might be in trouble?"Cameron nodded with all his might and replied, "Everything I said is true. I didn't lie at all. Hurry up and notify General Lynch!"Bradley had a serious look at that moment. His eyes were filled with terror. His hand that was holding the thermos started trembling.If Cameron was telling the truth, then Liam and his wife were probably already taken away by Trevyn. It was such a major issue that Bradley did n
Meanwhile, Howard was organizing information in his office. After all, Liam's daughter was abducted in broad daylight. He was preparing to have a conference to discuss what measures to take next to ensure the safety of Drunham City.At that moment, Howard had a million things piled up on his plate because of the incident. When his phone suddenly rang, he did not answer it immediately. He ended the call instead.However, as soon as he ended the call, his phone rang again.Howard frowned as he glanced at the call. He answered it and grunted in a frosty tone, "George, you better have something urgent or I won't forgive you. Don't you know I'm swamped right now? If it weren't because you guys failed to maintain law and order, would something terrible like the mafias abducting a child in broad daylight happen? Out with it! What do you want from me?"George quickly said, "Mr. Hosier, I know you're very busy at this juncture. But this is something major, and I can't make a decision.""Wh
The car sped off in the direction of the garrison of Drunham City.Right as the car drove past two streets, a few military Jeeps suddenly appeared on the road and quickly had Howard's car surrounded.Howard's driver slammed on the brakes so hard that the piercing screech of the tire echoed throughout the entire street. Howard was stunned as his body rushed forward.After he sat up straight, he looked at the Jeeps through the windscreen, looking completely shocked.The driver regained consciousness at that moment. He opened the door and got out of the car while cursing.He looked at the people and bellowed, "Who are you? Which department do you work for? Do you know whose car you're blocking? Hurry up and get out of the way!"However, the captain of the uniformed soldiers standing across from him simply waved his hand. In an instant, two soldiers walked out from behind him and detained the driver, pressing him on the hood of the car.Then, the captain walked up to the back of the
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
