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
Celena was slightly skeptical. She was not fully convinced by Liam's explanation, so she asked in return, "Did you just go out for a stroll?"However, once Celena saw Liam beaming, she stopped pushing him. Instead, she looked at Jovie, who was in Liam's arms, and asked solemnly, "Jovie, tell me, where did you and Dad go?"Jovie was holding onto the cupcakes when she heard Celena's question. Her first reaction was to look at Liam and ask, "Dad, should we tell Mom the truth?"Liam pitched Jovie's little nose and said with a grin, "Go ahead if you want to. Jovie's a good girl who doesn't lie."Jovie giggled, and then she bragged to Celena happily, saying, "Mom, Dad brought me to the embassy, and the boy who pushed me to the ground yesterday apologized to me. I'm so happy. Dad is amazing!"Upon saying that, Jovie quickly turned her head around and kissed Liam on his cheek. Her bright eyes were filled with admiration.Celena shuddered when she heard that. Feeling incredibly nervous, s
Jovie shot Liam a glance behind Celena's back, looking like she expected as much. Then, she inched closer to Liam slowly and whispered into his ear, "Dad, you're naughty. You're lying. But I understand. You must be thinking of giving Mom a huge surprise, aren't you?"Liam was grinning from ear to ear when he saw how cheeky Jovie was. He pretended to be nervous as if his secret was found out and whispered into Jovie's ears, "Wow, you're amazing, Jovie. You've figured it out. But you'll keep this a secret for me, right? Let's give Mom a huge surprise when the time comes, alright?"Jovie could not help but cover her mouth as she put on a wicked grin. She stole a glance at Celena, then she nodded at Liam and said, "Yes, sure! I'll keep this a secret for you. This is our little secret. I won't tell Mom about it."Both Liam and Jovie grinned at Celena, looking like they just would not tell her about it.Feeling helpless, Celena shook her head. At first, she was still a little angry that
Yankel's secretary, Linda, entered the room while carrying a huge stack of documents. She was strutting in her heels, swaying her hips alluringly as she walked toward Yankel.Linda was delighted at the thought of the documents in her hands. She handed the documents to Yankel after she approached the desk and said, "Mr. Bristow, we've gotten the information about the guy named Liam."Yankel was interested as soon as he heard that. He straightened his back and asked with a smirk, "Oh? You've got it? Hurry up and tell me what's his deal."Linda opened up the documents and said, "We've got to the bottom of it. The incident that shook Drunham City seven years ago, the one where the Cole family was annihilated, has something to do with Liam. That's because he's the only member of the family who survived. Many people in Drunham City call him a loser now."Linda sneered a couple of times and continued in a mocking tone, "Mr. Bristow, that's nothing. Liam is now married into the Stone famil
Linda gently drew circles on Yankel's chest as she spoke. She put her burning red lips next to his ears and said, "Think about it. That's the Pendragon Warzone, the strongest war zone in Biskeland. I heard the soldiers there could defeat ten people by themselves. It wouldn't be strange for Liam to be skilled in combat."Yankel was breathing heavily because of Linda's seduction, but he still did his best to remain calm. Feeling a little skeptical, he asked, "Really? Is what you found out true?"Seeing that Yankel was still unconvinced, Linda took out her phone and searched for the news of the Hughes family's annihilation that shocked Drunham City. After she found the news about Liam's identity, she handed the phone to Yankel."Of course, it's true. Why would I lie? After what happened to the Hughes family, Liam's identity was reported in the news. He was probably in the news because they were afraid he would pretend to be someone from the Pendragon Warzone."Linda's tone was filled
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
