The Stone family was even more anxious after everyone saw the disdainful attitude Liam had toward Cilix. Their hearts were in their mouths.Was Liam crazy? That man was a general, a famous God of War from Northern Biskeland, yet Liam was so arrogant toward him. Was he not afraid of being punished for having no respect?Reginald was afraid Liam would accidentally offend Cilix. He was so anxious that his face and neck were flushed. Finally, he could not hold back anymore and scolded, "Liam is too arrogant! Does he not know who this man is? "Nobody in Drunham City, or even the state, would dare to talk to General Landry with such an attitude! If he pissed off General Landry because of that, and if the general were to take his anger out on us, then our family is going to be finished!"With a resentful expression, Walter echoed and cursed, "That's right! The damn Liam is too cocky! It seems like he's more than he led on, but he can't be more powerful than General Landry. That's the c
Trevyn even wanted to auction the commander-in-chief's wife and daughter in front of him to let people with special fetishes toy with them. Trevyn trembled at the thought of it.Humiliating the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors was a crime punishable by death. The entire family of the offender would be wiped out. Trevyn had a meltdown. He knew he committed a capital crime, and he went past the point of no return.He immediately dropped to his knees and begged in tears, "General Landry! I was wrong! I realized I was wrong! Please, I'm begging you, forgive my family. Please spare the Hughes family! It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with them! Please spare them!"However, Cilix ignored him. Waving his hand, Cilix shouted with a sullen expression, "Take him down!"In an instant, the few soldiers Cilix brought rushed forward and broke Trevyn's limbs with their gunstock. Then, they dragged him out and pinned him to the ground.After all, Trevyn was a four-star War Kin
Celena looked down upon the wailing Brianna, her gaze looked conflicted. She then turned back to Liam, looking at his face that was familiar and all too unfamiliar at the same time. Her gaze was filled with fear that followed after surviving a trauma. More than anything else, she still was shocked by Liam. Celena kept looking at Liam's face. She had too many questions that she wanted to ask him in person because she did not understand just who exactly Liam was.Even though she was puzzled, she knew that was not the time to ask him. Then, Celena turned her head again and looked at Brianna, who was kneeling before her. She watched Brianna coldly as she kept begging her for forgiveness. Hearing Brianna mention their sisterhood filled Celena with disappointment and hatred!Sisterhood? What a joke! Was there any sisterhood left between them? Did Brianna not think that she was ridiculous when she said that?Why did Brianna not think of their sisterhood when she was harming her bac
Liam looked extremely worried as he quickly felt Jovie's forehead. He then got a few soldiers to quickly escort Celena and Jovie out of there.Liam accompanied Celena and Jovie to the main entrance as well. Before Celena got into the car, he embraced her tightly. She was looking pale and her eyes were bloodshot. He kissed her firmly on her forehead and said, "Celena, you go with Jovie to the hospital first. I still have some matters to deal with, I'll head over to the hospital to look for both of you later."Liam carried Jovie in his arms upon saying that. After Celena got into the car, he carefully handed Jovie over to her. He then turned his back, ready to leave.Just then, Celena suddenly gripped his arm. Her eyes were filled with tears, and there was a lump in her throat as she said, "Liam, I know that the Hughes family are evil beyond repair, but there are a lot of them who are innocent. I hope that you will let the rest go. Don't take your anger out on them."Liam turned an
At that moment, every member of the Hughes family was panicking. They were terrified and they kept begging Liam for mercy on their knees."Mr. Cole, please forgive us! We know that it was all our fault! Please be generous and forgive us just this once!""I beg of you, please let us off just this once! For the sake of the past friendship between the Hughes and the Cole family, please forgive us!""I don't want to die! Mr. Cole, this was all Trevyn's fault! How about you punish him and let the rest of us go! We're all innocent!"Brianna's fear was pushed to the maximum. She kneeled on the ground and bellowed, "Liam, what happened seven years ago was all ordered by the Four Ancient Families, it was not what we wanted! Please forgive my family! You already have a daughter with Celena anyway. Please, for the sake of our past relationship, let my family go!"Hearing the mention of the Four Ancient Families again made Liam frown. He continued to press and asked, "The Four Ancient Familie
Brianna, on the other hand, sat on the ground, looking dazed, Her face was filled with despair.Life imprisonment. She watched Liam's back as he walked further away from her. Then, Brianna suddenly got up from the ground, wanting to chase after him. She kept pleading for forgiveness, but she was pinned firmly to the ground by the guards beside her the moment she got up.The Hughes family was completely ruined that night. They no longer existLiam was worried about Celena and Jovie, so he rushed directly to the hospital right after leaving Hughes Mansion.Meanwhile, the streets outside the hospital were filled with military Jeeps and soldiers in uniform. Police cars were parked with their siren lights on and the police officers were on duty at every single entrance and exit of the hospital.By the time Liam got to the hospital, Celena and Jovie already finished their examination and were transferred to their rooms. When Liam entered, he instantly saw Celena lying on the bed in he
The more important thing was that Liam still had to investigate the information about the Four Ancient Families that Brianna told him that night, so he could not reveal his identity easily.Otherwise, Celena and Jovie would be even more in danger. He could not put them at risk.Liam thought about this a lot. He sat on the side of the bed and gently checked on Celena's hand injury before carefully putting her in bed.He explained gently, "What would I be keeping from you? You're being silly. Have you forgotten that I told you I was a retired veteran? I was previously a soldier based in the Pendragon War Zone Headquarters. "I was quite the soldier back then. I was also a military officer. But I was injured because of some rather special circumstances, so I retired."As expected, Celena looked rather lost. Liam gently pinched her nose and continued, "Although I've retired from the Pendragon War Zone, there's a saying among us, 'Once a Pendragon Warrior, forever a Pendragon Warrior!'
Liam held onto Jovie's delicate hand tightly. He put the cotton bud in the water and dabbed it lightly on Jovie's chapped lips, trying to moisturize them.Guilt-ridden, he said, "Jovie, I'm sorry. It is my fault that I didn't protect you properly. I swear that I won't fail you again, and I'll protect you and your mom."Liam stayed in Jovie's room for a while before he walked to the entrance of the hospital. Once he got into a military Jeep, it sped off toward the garrison of Drunham City.Meanwhile, both sides of the gate to the garrison of Drunham City were patrolled by heavily armed soldiers, and the headquarters building was brightly lit.All officers at the garrison were standing respectfully at the main entrance. Members of the wealthy families and bosses of various companies in the city who were led by Kolten were there too. They were all standing in the cold wind respectfully without a single complaint.Howard, the Drunham City police chief who was captured, also arrived at
