"Liam's lost it, right? Spouting off like that?""General Hughes's not his match? Looks like Liam's got jitters and is just blowing smoke!""That loser Liam's definitely backed down. Everyone's heard about General Hughes from Northern Biskeland, the big-shot War King with four stars to his name. And Liam? He's a nobody, and now he's got the nerve to say Trevyn's not in his league?"The crowd had never had much respect for Liam, and his bold claim just fanned the flames of their disdain, sparking a barrage of cutting remarks.The title of War King was reserved for the baddest of the bad in the war zone, and those stars were not just for show. They meant they were a force to be reckoned with.In the fierce battlegrounds that span the major war zones, only a select few, barely a hundred, have claimed the coveted title of a four-star War King. Each one was a titan in their own right, making it clear that snagging such a title was a Herculean task.Trevyn, the youngest War King in Nor
"This is too scary! General Hughes is truly the strongest War King in the military zones. He's strong, it's terrifying. It's no wonder why he would be highly valued in Northern Biskeland!""You're right! General Hughes is incredibly outstanding! He has a bright future ahead of him. The Hughes family will be soaring to greater heights in the future!""He's so powerful, yet that loser Liam dared to boast his ability. Let's just wait and see. He's going to suffer a miserable death in a while!"Everyone could not stop singing praises about Trevyn. While they praised and fawned over Trevyn and the Hughes family, they kept insulting Liam. After all, everyone believed Trevyn was the most powerful person while Liam was the polar opposite.The Stone family stood among the crowd and watched nervously the whole time. After they saw Trevyn attacking Liam, they could not help but start to mock Liam.Cheryl was the first to speak. With a ferocious expression and a sneer, she said, "Hmph! As t
Liam stood in place without budging. He barely even moved his arms. He simply remained in the same spot like a huge rock.Two huge forces collided as they came in contact with each other. An enormous impact was created, sending a great shockwave through the air.Everyone was stunned after they felt the impact.As Liam remained in place, he exuded such a strong might that sent chills down everybody's spines. His gaze was indifferent when he looked at Trevyn. There were no emotions in his eyes at all. It felt as if he was just looking at a dead person."This is great! The last person who attacked me is now a pile of bones in a grave. Things will only end one way for you today—you're going to die!" Liam said in a deep voice.There was a pin-drop silence.Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at Liam in disbelief.Trevyn was a four-star War King. He went through countless strict training sessions. His skill in combat passed the rigorous assessments in the military.It was not an e
After all, the one thing the military did not lack was people who were skilled in combat. To stand out among all the soldiers, other than having powerful skills, a person would also need to have a strong and prestigious family backing him up. As Trevyn kept guessing in his mind, Liam walked toward him, taking one step after another in his combat boots. Every fiber of Liam's being was fiercely murderous. He was completely enveloped by an overwhelming intention to kill. Liam spoke in a chilly voice with every step he took. His voice was like the death knell, ringing in the ears of Trevyn and everyone at the scene. "You don't have the right to know who I am, Trevyn. Do you think that you are powerful just because you're a puny general and a mere four-star War King? In my eyes, you can't even be compared to a piece of trash. Trevyn, if this is all you got, would you be able to withstand what my wrath brings next?"As soon as Liam finished his sentence coldly, he no longer held back
The armed soldiers guarding in front of the stage immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Their hands started to shake as they held their guns. The man before their eyes was too terrifying. Trevyn was the most powerful four-star War King in Northern Biskeland, and he was sent flying by a single kick! "Freeze! Stop moving or we'll shoot!" "Stop! I warn you! You better stop!" "Don't come any closer, or we'll open fire!" The soldiers were all looking at Liam with terror, and they were all shouting in an attempt to calm their fears. However, when the group of soldiers raised their guns, Malcolm's men quickly rushed forward and confronted the soldiers in front of the stage. They rushed in front of Liam so aggressively that the soldiers behind the stage all backed off. Soon, a passageway was cleared for Liam. Once Liam walked toward the stage, he bounced off the ground with a single jump and landed right on the stage. Then, he looked at Brianna and Patrick, who were shell-sh
That was all due to his negligence!Celena was with a face full of wounds. Her eyes which were originally big and bright were now bloodshot from crying for too long. She raised her bloodied arm lightly, inching closer to Liam's cheek slowly. She looked visibly moved, her lips were trembling and she looked at Liam teary-eyed."Liam! Why did you come back? Liam! You finally came back!" she sobbed.Celena was feeling extremely conflicted. There were too many emotions mixed up in her heart. On one hand, she was thinking of what would happen to Jovie and her if something were to happen to Liam due to his return. On the other hand, she was thinking if he returned earlier, then they would not have been subjected to so much inhumane torture.Mostly, she was hoping that Liam would not come back. After all, she knew how much the likes of Brianna and Trevyn from the Hughes family hated him. If Liam were to fall into their hands, then there was no way he was going to survive. However, Liam
Trevyn was enraged!Ever since he entered Northern Biskeland, he received nothing but admiration. As the most powerful four-star War King, he was never humiliated this way. He was defeated with a single kick.Trevyn glared at Liam with his eyes filled with a vicious gaze.Liam was not merely a soldier who was discharged from the army.How could a soldier who left the army be so skilled? Liam must at the very least be a four-star War King like Trevyn himself, or perhaps even a military king!With such capabilities, Liam's rank in the Biskeland military regions would not be too low. He would be a general at the very least. Trevyn was filled with dismay at the thought of that.How could a loser like Liam also be a gl and be on equal footing with him? That would mean that a third general appeared in Drunham City! Trevyn would not allow for that to happen! He must obliterate such a potential threat!That was why Trevyn gave the order to kill without any hesitation.With his orde
Liam frowned as he watched what happened. He was on the brink of bursting out in anger.The soldiers on the frontline traded their blood for the nation's safety. However, there were people like Trevyn in the military who used his rank to mobilize the military resources without permission. He completely ignored the law.Trevyn deserved to die.At that moment, Trevyn looked ferocious. He straightened his white shirt which was covered in dust and blood and walked out of the group of soldiers protecting him. He looked at Liam, who was standing on the stage calmly, and bellowed, "Liam! I can't believe I underestimated you. I thought you were just an ordinary veteran. I didn't think you'd have such a strong ability. You're more than just a simple soldier who was discharged from the army."But what about that? I don't care who you are and what your identity is. Right now, you're at Hughes Mansion, my turf. These three thousand guards of mine can put enough bullet holes in you to make yo
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
