Celena's face was completely flushed at that moment. She was breathing harder and harder as well. The burning feeling all over her body made her extremely terrified. Her eyes were locked on the door that was just a few steps away, but her vision was getting increasingly blurry.She struggled to get on her feet, wanting to walk toward the door. She wanted to escape from that office, but her legs just would not budge no matter how hard she tried. She then fell back onto the couch again.As she lay on the couch with a reddened face, she glared at Yohan and bellow, "Mr. Fabin, what-what have you done to me?"Celena's voice as she barked at Yohan, as well as her gaze as she glared at him, was so seductive to him that he could not help but gulp. He tugged at his tie and said with a lustful grin, "What are you talking about, Celena? Why would I do anything to you?"Don't worry. I just gave you a cup of coffee that was laced with a stimulant. It would only make your body weak and hot. Don'
As Yohan watched Celena suffer, he took out his phone and walked slowly to the table across from him. He put the phone at the best angle for recording, then he pulled off his tie and walked toward Celena with a grin."Ms. Stone, you're feeling terrible, aren't you? I'd suggest you just stop holding yourself back and just give yourself to me. Look at this excellent man standing in front of you. I'm far better than that loser Liam, so why must you stay loyal to him?"Celena bit her lips with all her might, forcing herself to keep her sanity. Because she exerted too much force, she was already bleeding a little at the corner of her lips.Right as Yohan was about to approach Celena, Leila suddenly knocked on the door."Mr. Fabin, the quality inspection report is out, and your signature is needed," said Leila.Yohan's expression darkened since his fun was interrupted. He walked toward the door, cracked open the door, and glared at Leila in annoyance."I got it. I have an important mat
Celena's eyes widened as she looked at the report that was torn into pieces. She was in disbelief as she exclaimed, "That's impossible! How could that be a fake? My husband got his friend to deliver this batch of materials to us."Without missing a beat, Yohan asked, "What did you say? Your husband? That loser Liam?"He shook his head and sneered, "Hmph! Celena, who do you take me for? Do you think I could be fooled so easily? How could a loser like your husband be capable enough to have a friend at the armory?"Don't be ridiculous! I think you're tricked by Liam as well. He probably got some poor-quality materials from some random place and fooled you with them. I can't believe you bought it."Celena shook her head with all her might upon hearing that. Tears could not stop rolling down her cheeks anymore. Feeling all worked up, she shouted, "No! That's impossible! Liam won't lie to me! There's nothing wrong with the materials, is there? This is all your doing!"Yohan approached h
Celena's eyes were filled with despair and fear as tears streamed down her face. She kept struggling, wanting to get away from Yohan's clutches.Right as Celena was about to give up, someone suddenly kicked down the office door."How dare you lay your finger on my wife? You have a death wish!"As soon as a voice that was full of anger rang out, a figure charged with murderous intent rushed in, grabbing Yohan's collar and throwing him out.Every fiber of Liam's being was out for blood. His bloodshot eyes were filled with rage as he looked at Yohan, and he desperately wanted to tear Yohan into a million pieces.Celena was looking at Liam as if he was an angel sent from heaven as she lay on the couch. Her face was covered in tears, and all the grievances and fear she felt deep down were immediately boiled over."Liam, you're finally here," She sobbed.Liam was heartbroken to see Celena in such a state. He rushed up to her, taking off his jacket to cover Celena's body. Feeling sorry
Celena was wrapped in Liam's jacket as her clothes had long been drenched in sweat. Her bangs were soaked because of sweat as well. She just looked like she was in a mess.Hearing Liam's words got Celena feeling worried. She thought of Liam's temper, so she reminded him, "Liam, be careful. And don't act too rash."Liam nodded and said, "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I know everything about the issues with the materials. Just leave this to me."Celena had no problem with that, so she nodded with great confidence. However, she thought of Yohan's status, and she could not help but worry about Liam. She looked back at Liam after she got to the door, and Liam looked back at her, reassuring her. It was only then she turned and left the office.As soon as she walked out of the door, her three staff quickly had her surrounded, looking all worried."Ms. Stone, are you alright?""Listen to me, Ms. Stone, Mr. Fabin is not a good person. He's deliberately being hard on us. This batch
Yohan kept stressing on who he was and the fact that they were at the Quality Supervision Bureau, thinking that that would intimate Liam.However, Liam did not stop in his tracks at all. He just walked straight up to Yohan. Looking at Yohan with an intense rage, Liam said icily, "Who am I? I'm Celena's husband, Liam!"He immediately threw a punch on Yohan's face as he said that.That punch left Yohan in a daze as he covered his face and wailed in pain. Feeling angered, he shouted at Liam at the top of his lungs, "I can't be it's you! Hmph! So, you're the loser! You're quite bold! You had the guts to attack me!"Listen up! I'm Yohan Fabin, the manager of the Quality Supervision Bureau. Since you dare to hit me, you're dead meat!"Celena's materials still have to pass the inspection of my bureau, yes? You're finished, I tell you. The materials from the Stone family will never be up to standards from now on. "Nobody, no matter how powerful, will be able to get you an approved quali
A frosty expression appeared on Liam's face in the next second. At the flick of his fingers, the burning cigarette butt flew toward Yohan's face, creating a spark. The burnt left Yohan covering his face, wailing in pain."Ah! Liam! You have a death wish! I'm going to kill you!" Yohan was furious, glaring at Liam with a vicious gaze.Liam was staring at Yohan with a frosty gaze as well as he said icily, "Mr. Fabin if I remember it correctly, the materials my wife brought over the second time are from the armory. Am I right? There's even a certified quality inspection report issued by the garrison of Drunham City. "If the materials are up to the standards at the garrison, then why would they fail to meet your standards?"Yohan sneered in disdain and said, "Hmph! Liam, do you think I'll believe you? You're just a loser. How could you get the materials from the armory? "Besides, even if you were able to get the materials from the armory, so what? This is the Quality Supervision Bure
The meeting was interrupted because Malcolm's secretary barged in. Malcolm looked at his secretary in annoyance and said in a deep voice, "Didn't you see we're having a meeting? How rude of you to be so reckless."The secretary wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Mr. Lynch, you have a call."Other than being the commander of the garrison of Drunham City, Malcolm was also the mayor of the city. Because of that, the people around him would address him as Mr. Lynch at the town hall and as General Lynch when they were at the garrison.Malcolm's expression darkened and barked, "What call? Do you not see that I'm in a meeting? Set it aside. I'll answer it later."He straightened his back, ready to continue to have the meeting upon saying that. However, the secretary did not dare to leave the meeting room. The beads of cold sweat on the secretary's forehead kept streaming down as said in a shaking voice, "You said a call from this number must be answered by yourself no m
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
