"You're as disgusting as your mother. Both of you make me sick!" Sherah sneered at Celena with contempt.

Qemal could not hide his triumphant grin as he taunted Celena, "What does it matter if you're talented, Celena, or if Grandpa likes you best? Dad's only pleased with me and my sister. You're nothing!"

His words hit Celena like thunder, sending a shiver down her spine.

"Why doesn't anyone want me?" Celena sobbed, collapsing to the ground. "Grandpa, Dad... you've all abandoned me..." Her cries echoed through the room, and her body shook uncontrollably.

Jovie, hearing her mother's sobs, wriggled free from Liam's embrace and felt her way toward Celena. "Don't cry, Mom! They're the bad ones, not us. You've got me, Mom!" she cried.

Tears streamed down Jovie's cheeks as she tenderly wiped away her mother's tears and patted her back in an attempt to comfort her.

Overwhelmed by her daughter's empathy, Celena pulled Jovie into a tight embrace, as they cried together.

    Qemal kept taunting, "You broke my arm, and all I'm asking is for you to lose one of yours! Better do it before I change my mind, and fast! Or else, it'll be more than an arm you'll be losing!"Liam snapped his head up, his face stormy as he locked eyes with Qemal. The murderous intent was plain to see, and it felt like the air itself grew heavier with his fury."Don't try to take advantage of me!" Liam's voice was icy as he glared, his eyes practically shooting daggers.That single look sent Qemal stumbling back in fear! It was downright chilling.Locking eyes with Liam was like staring down the grim reaper himself, and Qemal thought he was a goner. Could Liam really be a nobody? How could someone dismissed as a nobody have such a fearsome look and such an intense presence?Yafe realized that Liam was no ordinary man. It would be foolish to make a move without knowing what Liam was capable of. Liam, who had been missing for seven years, had come back transformed, his former timid

    The room fell into a stunned silence at his introduction."The young master of the Abbott family himself! Cheryl's luck is unbelievable!""Indeed! The Abbotts are a leading family among Drunham City's elite, and their corporation is a powerhouse with wealth to match!""Watch Cheryl strut now. She's just been snubbed by the Hughes family, and now she's rubbing shoulders with the Abbotts!"Wasyl stood with an air of superiority, casting a dismissive glance at the lesser families gathered in the hall. Their mere presence seemed like an unwelcome reminder of the social ladder he stood atop.Cheryl basked in the attention and envious stares from the crowd, her vanity swelling with pride."Hahaha, thank you!"Reginald chuckled as he accepted the ornate box. Upon opening it, he found an expensive multivitamin inside, eliciting gasps of amazement from the onlookers.Cheryl seized the moment to introduce, "Grandpa, this is an expensive multivitamin from a renowned wellness center that M

    Fear gripped her. She dreaded that tonight's event might turn into a repeat of the ordeal from seven years ago, with the same vicious gossip and judgment. She was scared that Liam might once again make her the Stone family's scapegoat.Those thoughts alone sent her heart into a frenzy.Just then, a comforting, strong hand gently enveloped her frigid, trembling one.Celena's head snapped up, looking at Liam. Liam's striking features and his bright, steadfast gaze were brimming with affection as he looked at her. "Celena, don't be scared. I'm right here," Liam whispered.It shattered the walls around Celena's heart. The chaos within was suddenly wrapped in a comforting warmth, and tears streamed down her cheeks as her small hand clung to Liam's with all her might.That's right, he was with her. She was not facing the world alone anymore, and a newfound strength blossomed in Celena's heart.At that moment, a piercing female voice cut through the hall, making the atmosphere even more

    Celena's cheek stung badly, and a vivid handprint blazed across her once pale and lovely face. The Stone family's insults echoed in her ears, and tears welled up in her eyes. Cheryl's slap had shattered her resolve, and the jeers from the Stone family snapped her back to a harsh reality. The Stone family was no longer her refuge. There was no place for her and Jovie within the Stone family's walls. "Liam, let's get out of here and never look back. The Stone family isn't my home anymore. They won't accept me..." Celena said as she turned and tugged at Liam's arm. However, Liam stood rooted to the spot. He could not believe Cheryl had slapped Celena right in front of him, causing her cheek to swell before his eyes. Rage ignited within him. The usually calm Liam was suddenly a storm of fury, his presence dominating the banquet hall. He pulled Celena back from leaving and fixed Cheryl with an icy glare. He roared, "Apologize to her. Now!" His demand was met with sneers and eye ro

    Cheryl lost it, never imagining Liam would have the guts to strike her in front of an audience. She furiously stamped her foot and yelled, "Wasyl, look what he did! I've been hit. Look at what he did to my face!"Wasyl snapped into action, rushing over with rage written all over his face. He pointed at Liam and bellowed, "You had the nerve to hit my girlfriend? Who do you think you are? I can make one call, and you'll be run out of Drunham City! Apologize to her now, or else, none of you will get out of here alive!"With that, Wasyl turned to Celena and Jovie, his sneer turning into a lewd smile. "Celena sure looks nice, even tastier than before..."Boom!In the next instant, Liam kicked Wasyl with contempt, sending him sprawling at his feet. His eyes blazed with a killer's intent, like a grim reaper straight from hell. He sternly said, "Anyone who talks to me better show some respect!"Celena and Jovie were Liam's treasures, and badmouthing them was a surefire way to seal their f

    When the crowd got a good look at Celena's gift, the room erupted with laughter and sneers."What the hell was that? It's so dark and smells weird!""Is that some kind of ointment? Cheryl gives a tea set worth several hundred thousand dollars, handcrafted by a renowned artist, and Celena brings out a jar of ointment? How embarrassing!""Seriously, it's just pitiful! You can tell who's more thoughtful. No wonder Reginald kicked Celena out in favor of Cheryl!"Celena, seeing her gift discarded, dashed over, ignoring the insults thrown at her. She picked up the jar of ointment from the floor. With tears streaming down her face, she pleaded with Reginald, "Grandpa, your legs ache! I know you're always in pain, so I got this especially for you! Grandpa, I do care... oh, Grandpa..."The scornful murmurs of the Stone family surrounded her. Their piercing stares cut deep, leaving Celena no choice but to crouch down on the floor, sobbing as she wiped away her tears.She had convinced hers

    The Stone family and their guests were initially taken aback by Liam's answer. However, it soon turned to sneers as they eagerly anticipated the spectacle that was sure to follow.He was a man, a penniless ex-soldier, brazenly making promises. They were all curious to see how he would pull that off. His bold claim had set the stage, but could he deliver?The Walker family's lucrative deals were not low-hanging fruit. In Drunham City, every major family business had their eyes on the prize, yet none had sealed the deal. What chance did a down-and-out nobody from a disgraced family have?If Liam succeeded, it would be a slap in the face to the high and mighty who had failed.Reginald watched Liam's confident response with a sneer. "Remember, you said it yourself! Celena mentioned you've just come back from service. Anyone who returns at your age probably couldn't cut it. So what makes you think you can land a deal that's had all of Drunham's elite families at each other's throats?" h

    Celena caught the impatience and hatred in Reginald's eyes. Her heart, already in pieces, shattered further. Tears streamed down her face. Liam stepped in."Celena, no more tears! Don't fret. Believe in me. This is nothing. I'll get that project.""However, you..." Worry and urgency painted Celena's face, leaving her at a loss for words."Nothing? You're delusional! I'm eager to see how a broken and beaten nobody like you will pull this off!" Qemal folded his arms, looking at Liam with venom and mockery.His arm was excruciatingly painful, and his hatred for Liam deepened.He made a vow to himself that one day, he would make Liam pay with his life. If he did not, he would not be Qemal.Wasyl shared the same burning hatred for Liam. Though the Abbott's were no top-tier family in the sprawling Drunham City, they were still a big deal, and people sought their favor! Normally, Wasyl, just like Qemal, basked in the adulation of others. However, after Liam had humiliated him in front o

    The new plan was a hit; every assassin in the room was on board.One of them, posing as a bellhop, stood at Liam's door, ready to knock.However, he never saw it coming. Before his knuckles could rap on the door, it burst open from the inside.Wham!The would-be knocker was sent flying, slamming into the corridor wall with a thunderous crash.The others barely had time to register what happened when Liam burst out, a quintuple-edged dagger in hand.He was a shadow among them, his blade a flash of silver that danced across their wrists, disarming them of their scimitars.In moments, the hallway was a cacophony of clattering blades and piercing screams that filled the hotel.The leader, clutching his bleeding wrist, stared at Liam in horror, leaning casually against the doorframe. Liam's dagger dripped crimson. He watched the fallen assassins with an unfeeling smirk."You think you can play assassins, skulking around in the dark?" Liam's voice dripped with scorn. With a casual f

    Noel was a name that turned heads in Rasford City, especially since the Noel family ran a successful pharmaceutical business. In any place, those in the medicine game hold sway, and Noel was no stranger to the city's shadowy bigwigs. After all, nobody was immune to getting sick!Noel was quickly taken to the hospital for emergency care. Meanwhile, the assassin he had hired had pinpointed the hotel where Liam and Sunniva were hiding out.Sunniva was still visibly shaken when they reached the hotel. Too frightened to be alone, she could only gaze at Liam with watery eyes, silently pleading to stay in his room.Liam, left with little choice, let Sunniva take his room while he made do with the couch in the living room.After the night's earlier ordeal, combined with the alcohol and the drug slipped into her drink, Sunniva washed up and promptly fell asleep in Liam's bed.Liam, however, remained on the living room sofa, poring over the mysterious Arcane Manuscript.Out of nowhere,

    "Thud!"Then, without missing a beat, Liam grabbed Noel by the throat and landed another punch on him. He struck him squarely on the chin, dislocating it and forcing a couple more of his teeth to fly out. "Ahhh!" Noel shrieked. His face was swelling up to twice its usual size, and he could not help letting out a cry of agony. Liam did not stop there, though. His fists rained down all over Noel without ceasing, his every punch striking where it hurt the most. "F*ck! You're going to pay for this!" Noel grunted. He would make this twat pay! What gave him the right to attack him? He was an heir of the great Noel bloodline, and he would make this cocky, self-righteous prat pay!Liam scoffed, then swung his fist and struck Noel squarely in his abdomen.Noel spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to utter another word from the sheer pain, but this did not stop Liam. The next moment, he grabbed Noel by the hair and bashed his head against the wall behind him.A sickening crunch alerted

    The words had barely left her mouth when Noel lost his patience, swung Sunniva around and slapped her hard across the cheek. "D*mn it, you f*cking sl*t! What the f*ck are you shouting for? Let me tell you this—no one will come to save you, not even if you cry yourself hoarse!"The slap came so abruptly that Sunniva was momentarily stunned. Her cheek soon swelled up, and a bright red mark in the shape of Noel's palm began to take shape. Noel had hit her so hard that the back of her head struck the wall behind her, and all she could feel was an intense, throbbing pain that reverberated through her skull. Blood seeped out of the cut on the back of her head, and she could feel the warm liquid trickle down her neck. She suddenly felt strangely faint and stopped resisting. Noel seized the opportunity to strip her naked, grinning. "Ms. Bristow, I suggest you stop wasting your energy. You're mine tonight, and there's no running now!"He had long since heard of Sunniva's beauty, and he was

    "Mr. Noel? What is the meaning of this?" Sunniva shrieked in alarm. Noel was wiping his face with a towel when she spoke, and upon hearing her voice, he slowly moved toward her. "Ms. Bristow, do I really need to spell this out for you? You're a gorgeous woman, and I admire you very much. There's nothing to be afraid of, darling. We're all adults here, so there's no need to be shy. I promise that I'll make this the most memorable night you've ever had. "Ms. Bristow, do you know how many women would die to be in your position? Women everywhere bend over backwards to keep me happy, and most of them are willing to please me just to get my business. If you still want this partnership, you better be a good girl and keep me satisfied. If not…"Noel trailed off, for at this point, he had already reached the bed and was just inches away from Sunniva. His flesh quivered with his every move, and he was so tall that he loomed over Sunniva's tiny body like a beast eyeing its prey. "You… you

    Noel was not used to being rejected so outwardly. Sunniva's indifference infuriated him greatly. He scoffed, then brought his hand up to his nose and took a deep breath as if trying to catch a whiff of any scent that Sunniva had left on his skin. He sneered. "Ms. Bristow, it seems you are intent on challenging me?"Sunniva replied curtly, "So what if I am?""Very well then! You like to do things the hard way, eh? Let me make this clear—the moment you step out the door, the partnership will be called off! I will no longer do business with Bristow Group!"The audacity!With a smug grin, Noel cast Sunniva one last look before returning to his seat. He watched her coolly and made no move to stop her from leaving again, for he knew he had her cornered. Sunniva stood rooted to the spot, her brows furrowed in deep concentration. Noel knew he had Sunniva caught in a dead-end situation. He smirked and raised his glass to his lips. "How about this, Ms. Bristow? Just one last drink with

    A glimmer of annoyance flashed through Noel's eyes, but he continued to reach toward Sunniva, grinning. "Ms. Bristow, I really, really admire you…"Sunniva froze. The next moment, she leaped to her feet, still holding her wine glass, and ducked out of Noel's reach. She replied, raising his glass in an attempt to disguise her nervousness, "Mr. Noel, I greatly admire your success as a businessman as well. Cheers to our partnership!"Noel's arm hovered in mid-air, looking awkward and forlorn as it dangled out of reach of its target. A strained silence fell over them. The tension lasted only a few minutes, though, because Noel soon regained his composure and drew his arm back. He clinked his glass against Sunniva's as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened. The two of them had been drinking for quite some time now, and Noel was growing more and more inebriated by the minute. He was a pale man, and so the alcohol gave him an unnatural flush that made him look as though he was

    "Thank you, Uncle Leonardo." With that, Liam and Cirocco left the manor. They returned to the hotel to meet up with Calum and Sunniva. Liam and Cirocco were waiting in the hotel's presidential suite, going over their plans for the upcoming days, when Calum burst in, looking flustered. Liam was the first to notice how strangely nervous Calum seemed. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"Calum explained hastily, "Sir, Ms. Bristow was just taken away by a group of locals. She claimed that they were the businessmen we were here to meet. Since you weren't back yet, she decided to go meet them herself. She wants me to inform you that they have gone to the Saint Louisiana Hotel and that you can meet them there."Liam furrowed his brows at this. Calum asked, "Sir, are you going to check on them?"Liam considered this a moment, then grabbed his phone and stood up. "I think I should. You and Cirocco should stay here and go over our plans. I'll pop by the Saint Louisiana Hotel. If Jeffre

    "Unfortunately, I cannot reveal to you the identities of the remaining five yet, but don't you worry—when the time comes, you will find out soon enough."Just remember, Liam, you are not alone! No matter what happens, the six of us will be here to help you the best we can!" Leonardo said, squeezing Liam's shoulder in reassurance. His expression was solemn, but there was a spark in his eyes. Liam was even more stunned to hear this. What was going on? Had his grandfather planned this for over twenty years ago? Did he somehow know that Liam would come searching for him?"Uncle Leonardo, what's going on here? Is Grandpa still alive?" Liam asked nervously.Leonardo's face fell, and he shook his head gravely. "Truth be told, I am just as confused as you are. I've been trying to track your grandfather down for years, but the last I heard, he was still being kept on Wraith Island. I haven't heard any news about him since, but I refuse to believe your grandfather would die on Wraith Island
