The surroundings of the embassy were packed with soldiers from the Drunham City garrison. All of them were in full tactical gear, and they were aiming their guns at the embassy.That was not all as there were countless armored cars and rows of tanks parked around the embassy like an endless sea of steel warriors.Soldiers were surrounding the embassy as far as the eye could see.It was too terrifying! The outside of the embassy was packed with so many soldiers in an instant, and even the armored cars and tanks were mobilized. Could it be that Biskeland had long had the idea of going to war with Abashidze? Mr. Esper, who was initially very cocky, immediately went into a panic. He could not control his facial expression anymore. His hands that were holding the curtains were trembling. Beads of sweat on his forehead could not stop dripping down his face as well.Liam stood in place, looking at the shaking Mr. Esper. After he took the last puff of his cigarette, he tossed it on the f
Mr. Esper looked at Liam with great terror as his sweat dripped down from his forehead. His entire back was soaked in cold sweat, and he dared not even to make a sound.He forced himself not to collapse and asked while trembling, "Who the hell are you? Why are you able to mobilize so many soldiers?"Liam raised his eyebrow and looked at Mr. Esper calmly, exuding a kingly might all over his body. He asked in return, "Who am I? Who do you think I am? Or who do you wish me to be?"As he said that, he exuded such a powerful frosty air that the entire meeting room was enveloped by it.Mr. Esper was stunned, and his blood instantly boiled. He was the ambassador of Abashidze, a powerful country. He was acting however he pleased in Biskeland for so long and never encountered a situation like that before.Because of that, Mr. Esper was incensed. Refusing to appear weak, he bellowed at Liam, "I don't care if you're a big shot or a dignitary in Biskeland. This is the Abashidze Embassy. "It
The green dragon battle robe with gold embroidery.He was the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors from Biskeland!Everyone present saw that battle robe during Biskeland's National Day parade.Everybody, especially Mr. Esper, was stunned after they had a clearer view of it. Mr. Esper was initially full of confidence. However, he could no longer stay calm after he saw the green dragon battle robe. His legs immediately turned to jelly, causing him to drop to his knees.Never would he ever expect that the person he was threatening and bellowing at earlier would be one of the commanders-in-chief in Biskeland, not to mention the most powerful and mysterious commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors.He threatened the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors, saying that he would arrest and punish him and shoot his entire family to death.He could not believe that he told Liam that it was his daughter's honor that she was pushed to the ground by his son.He could not be
Liam was wearing the green dragon battle robe with gold embroidery, which represented the identity of the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors. However, Mr. Esper still refused to believe the young man in front of him was the commander-in-chief.That was why he still took a chance and assumed that the young man standing before him was just one of the deputy commanders-in-chief of Pendragon Warriors.Liam smirked after he saw Mr. Esper's expression. Staring at Mr. Esper with a sharp gaze, Liam said icily, "Hmph! Deputy commander-in-chief? Would a deputy commander-in-chief dare to put on this green dragon battle robe?"Mr. Esper shuddered as soon as he heard that, feeling like he was struck by lightning. He already knew the answer, but he still could not believe that the young man before him looked like he was just in his 20s.Becoming a commander-in-chief in Biskeland was like reaching for the moon. That was because not only would one have to be competent, but he would also
Liam was such a terrifyingly powerful person. It would be a piece of cake for him if he wanted to tear the embassy to the ground, let alone trespass on the embassy.Mr. Esper was on the ground, looking so frightened that his face was as white as a sheet. He trembled as he got on his knees and said to Liam with his head bowed, "All h-hail the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors!"Liam stood in place calmly, rubbing his fingers on the emerald token. With a bone-chilling expression, he said, "You haven't answered my question. You said this place belongs to Abashidze and the embassy is protected by Abashidze and international law. It's not a place for me to do whatever I pleased. Isn't that right?"Mr. Esper felt a chill down his spine when he heard Liam bringing that up again. With a look of terror, he shook his head with all his might and denied, "No, no, that's not true. This p-place belongs to Biskeland. This piece of land belongs to Biskeland too. Your great country lent t
Liam nodded, and then he took a seat on Mr. Esper's chair with Jovie in his arms and waited.Mr. Esper immediately grabbed his phone and called the phone at home. As soon as the call was answered, he bellowed, "Where's that bastard? Bring him over now! Do it now!"The caretaker could tell from his tone that something serious happened after she answered the call. Not daring to waste any time, she brought the boy along and rushed to the embassy in ten minutes.The boy was still dressed in the same way. He was wearing an expensive little suit and a pair of tailor-made leather shoes, strutting into the meeting room with an arrogant look on his face.Once he entered the room, he saw his father and his subordinates on their knees on the ground, and he was shocked. He could not help but ask, "Dad, what are you doing? Why are all of you on your knees?"Mr. Esper could not believe it as he watched his son walking in with a cocky attitude. If it was not for the mess his son created, the com
The boy panicked as soon as he heard that he was about to be sent back to his country. Although he was very reluctant, he still apologized to Jovie, "I'm—I'm sorry."Mr. Esper quickly echoed, "He has apologized, sir. They are all still children. Please forgive him. Don't worry. I'll teach him well in the future."He was full of nerves as he looked at Liam, waiting for his answer.Liam looked at Jovie, who was in his arms, and then he asked gently, "Jovie, he has apologized. Are you satisfied?"Jovie had some tears welling in her eyes and the grievances she felt vanished in an instant. She wrapped her arms around Liam's neck and nodded, saying, "Mmhmm. Dad, I'm not angry anymore. Let's hurry up and go home. Mom is going to be angry if she knew we're here."Liam nodded before he looked at the trembling Mr. Esper again. Sending a firm warning with gaze, he said, "Mr. Esper, remember this, this is Biskeland. This piece of land will forever belong to Biskeland. You guys are just borrow
Mr. Esper felt the crowd made sense. After he gave it a thought, he called Mr. Bryan, the chief ambassador who was stationed in the main embassy in the capital of Biskeland.The call was answered very quickly. The sonorous voice of a middle-aged man could be heard on the other end of the call. His voice was filled with authority and arrogance as he asked calmly, "What can I do for you, Mr. Esper?"Mr. Esper straightened his back and reported everything that happened to Mr. Bryan respectfully.By the end of it, Mr. Esper shouted in a rage, "Mr. Bryan, he has gone overboard! He doesn't give a damn about our country at all!"Mr. Bryan's expression darkened after he heard Mr. Esper's report. Feeling incensed, he got up from his chair and bellowed, "What did you say? The commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors appeared in Drunham City?. And he brought his soldiers to have the embassy surrounded?"He kicked the chair behind him in a fit of anger and shouted in great fury, "Fuck! I
What would Liam do if he found out Prince Faber had captured his wife? Surely he would not hesitate to turn the entire city upside down to look for her?Prince Faber was more than familiar with Liam's fierce loyalty and could not help but begin to worry at the prospect of having to face his wrath. He stared at Keyon's leering face and asked with belated realization, "Mr. Yeager, you ordered me to capture all those people from the Drunham City Connoisseurs, but the truth is, your sole target has always been Liam's wife. Is that right?"Keyon nodded, smiling. "That's right. We could care less about those businessmen. All we wanted was to get our hands on Celena Stone!"I must admit I was very surprised when I found out that Celena Stone is the wife of the great King Pendragon. Not only that, but I made an even more shocking discovery—it turns out that Liam is none other than the lone survivor of the Cole family, the noble clan who were allegedly wiped out seven years ago!"The ment
After a few moments' hesitation, he finally decided to shoot his shot. "Mr. Yeager, there is something I don't understand. Why did the Yeagers order these businessmen's capture? I've looked into their backgrounds, and they are all honest businessmen who have not broken the law before. If the media catches wind of this, they will surely accuse me of abusing my power…"This was what Prince Faber had been worried about. He had already investigated the people whom the Yeagers ordered to be captured and did not understand why the Yeagers wanted them imprisoned. They were all civilians who had not committed any crime, and he dared not even imagine the consequences if the public found out he had ordered the incarceration of innocent citizens.Keyon understood immediately Prince Faber's concern. He smiled and replied in a reassuring tone, "Worry not, Prince Faber. We Yeagers have taken care of everything. We have made absolutely sure to cover up all your tracks, and no one will know you were
Meanwhile, Celena and the group were taken out of the hotel and shoved forcefully into a couple of jeeps waiting at the entrance. They were whisked away to a nearby military base. Before they could even get their bearings straight, they found themselves being tossed into holding cells. Celena, on the other hand, was taken separately to a small, dark room, illuminated only by the barest sliver of light that peeped in through a tiny window. The room was entirely empty, save for a metal bed frame. A sour stench hung in the air, and it was clear this room had been abandoned for a very long time. A soldier shoved Celena roughly into the room, and before she could realize what was happening, the soldier slammed the door shut.The soldier had pushed Celena so hard that she fell onto the ground, but upon seeing that her captor was about to leave, she leaped to her feet and sprinted over to the door. "Sir, can you tell me what I did wrong? Can you please have mercy on me? Can you at least
Tristan seemed just as baffled as they were. He returned their puzzled gazes with an equally perplexed one of his own. "I… I have no idea…"The general glanced sharply in their direction, then gestured to his soldiers and declared sternly, "Take them away!"His soldiers obliged and stepped forward to restrain the members of the Drunham City Connoisseurs, who all shrieked in alarm, "Why are you taking us away?""General, what did we do wrong? We didn't do anything illegal, so why are you arresting us?""Mr. Xander, save us! They've got this all wrong!""What's going on here? Why are they arresting only us?"Celena's entire body was shaking like a leaf. She eyed the soldiers around her and asked, stammering, "General, what did we do wrong? Why are we being captured? Where are you taking us?"Tristan, stricken with panic, shoved a soldier aside and shouted at the general, "General, I'm the president of the Drunham City Connoisseurs, and I want to know why we're being taken away. Wh
Celena was utterly terrified by the sudden turn of events. She stared pale-faced at the soldiers around her, not daring to move even a muscle. What was going on?All of a sudden, a man in a uniform stepped into the room. The badge on his shoulder indicated to everyone that he was a general. The heavy thumping of his boots echoed through the silent room with every step he took. All eyes were on him as he stepped onto the stage.He carried himself with great authority, and clearly, this man was not one to be messed with. He scanned the room as if searching for someone. Finally, he announced in a deep, resounding voice, "Do not fear, ladies and gentlemen. We are here on a routine check after receiving a tip-off regarding your conference. We will release you all once we have carried out our investigation, and the process will be quicker and smoother if you all cooperate. "Now, I would kindly request you get your documentation ready so that my men may confirm your identity."Everyone
Derek nodded earnestly and replied, "Of course it's true. My sources have never failed me. I wouldn't have trusted you with this information if I didn't think you'd be interested."Celena stared at him for a moment, then turned to glance in the direction of the people he had pointed. She could not help but be tempted by the offer. She considered this for a few moments, then accepted his offer. "Alright then, Mr. Duncan. I'll go with you. Thank you for inviting me."The smile on Derek's face widened. He could hardly believe his luck—Celena had agreed to go with him! Taking that first step was always the hardest, but he had done it!Unbeknownst to Celena, Derek already knew her long before their first meeting at the conference. Her name was known far and wide in Drunham City, not least because of her beauty, but because of her—in the eyes of the public—tragic marriage. Celena had earned herself a reputation as one of the most beautiful women Drunham City had ever seen, and although
The attention they received, however, was large due to Celena and her young, handsome companion, who was a man named Derek Duncan. Their attractive looks, both individually and combined, were easily the topic of discussion that night. Everyone who laid eyes on them admired both their good looks and brains, for certainly only the cream of the crop were allowed to attend this prestigious event. What made this feat even more impressive was the fact that they were both so young!Aside from her beauty, Celena's name was already known far and wide in the business world, not just because of her strong leadership but due to her association with Liam and her company's connections with many international corporations. She had started her business from scratch, but within a few short months, she had single handedly built it up to become one of the top ten grossing companies in Drunham City.There were hundreds of people gathered there tonight, and their seats had been allocated according to t
The moment Clifford left, Kastor turned to Liam with a wide grin, all hint of his hostility now gone. "Mr. Cole, thank God I arrived just in time."He raised his brows as he said this, and Liam took this to mean he was trying to claim credit. Truth be told, he would have been able to handle things on his own even without Kastor's help, but he decided this was a detail Kastor did not need to know. Instead, he returned Kastor's smile graciously. Kastor, like a child, burst into laughter at this. No further words were exchanged, but they understood the message nonetheless.Jeffrey also grinned. "Kastor, what brings you here all of a sudden?"Kastor replied, "Ah, you might not know this, Mr. Stein, but I actually own this very restaurant that you're sitting in right now. One of my employees called me for help, citing that a brawl was about to break out, so I rushed over immediately. I had no idea it would turn out to be you and Mr. Cole!""Ah, what a pleasant surprise, then!" Jeffrey
Clifford scowled upon hearing this. He cracked his knuckles menacingly as he stared at Kastor through narrowed eyes.Kastor did not seem at all intimidated by this. Instead, he brushed past him and approached Liam, smiling. "Mr. Cole, I apologize for the delay. I rushed over as soon as I heard the news, but I was late anyway. I'm so sorry for the wait."Liam's expression eased up slightly. He tugged the corners of his mouth into a strained smile but did not reply. Clifford's expression turned even more sour when he sensed Kastor's tone. He asked sharply, "What is the meaning of this, Kastor? Are you intent on making me your enemy?"Clifford's reputation was known far and wide, and many feared him, but Kastor was not one of them. He shot Clifford a look of utmost disdain and replied, smirking, "Yes, Clifford, that's exactly what I'm going to do. So what if we will be enemies from now on? What are you going to do about it?"He was confident that Clifford would not dare to retaliate
