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
Linda was taken aback after she heard Yankel's words, but she recovered very quickly. With a smile on her face, she said, "What are you talking about, Mr. Bristow? Of course, I'm just trying to defend you."You're the general manager of the company, and you're her brother. It doesn't matter if she slapped me or cursed at me. But no matter what, she shouldn't have disrespected you for the sake of an outsider."Sure enough, Yankel's expression darkened as soon as Linda said that. Yankel sneered and said, "Don't worry. I'll certainly teach Sunniva a lesson, but now is not the time for it. Once the timing is right, I'll make her understand who's the head of the Bristow family."Immediately after that, a wicked smile and a bone-chilling gaze appeared on Linda's face as she lay in Yankel's arms.…Soon, the next day arrived. The Stone family was in chaos.Reginald took the dinner that night very seriously, which was why he started his preparation very early. Finally, he brought Celena
Reginald highly valued the chance to build new connections that night, so of course, he would not allow the loser Liam to ruin it. Celena kept promising that she would keep an eye on Liam and that nothing would go wrong, but Reginald still rejected her with great resolution.Seeing that they were at a stalemate, Liam said he did not wish to attend the dinner. It was only then the issue was resolved.Liam repeatedly comforted Celena and said he did not care about the dinner, but Celena was still in a terrible mood, looking all depressed.At that moment, all of the Stone family members were filled with excitement. Cheryl noticed Celena's sorrowful face in the crowd in an instant and snickered with a look of disdain on her face."Come on, Celena. Why are you looking so sad? Don't you know how important this dinner is to our family? Why are you pulling with that long face of yours? If you miss that loser so much, you should just head home now. Otherwise, you're going to offend someone
Kolten was standing in front of the car, leading a crowd that consisted of the heads of eminent families and also the top businessmen in Drunham City. Everyone present was the cream of the crop in the city.At that moment, the people who were waiting in line at the door for their turn to enter noticed the commotion on their right. Once they saw who was standing there, they were surprised.Several distinguished families and businessmen wanted to go up to them to greet them, but they were surrounded by security guards. The people who wanted to greet them had no choice but to give up the idea and watch them from afar.The Stone family was standing at the higher steps at the entrance, so they had a view that was better than the others. One of them exclaimed, “Gosh! It's Mr. Kolten, Mr. Wheeler, Mr. Larsen, and the others. That's the top three richest men in Drunham City!""Looks like they are welcoming someone. I wonder who the big shot is that even the three of them would come out to
Qemal grabbed his phone and showed everyone the picture he just took. With great confidence, he said, "See for yourself. Isn't this Liam? He looks just like him. Who else could it be if it's not him?"Reginald and others immediately looked at Qemal's phone and saw the photo. In the photo, Kolten and the others were surrounding a tall young man, who was only showing his profile. Qemal zoomed in to take the photo, so it was rather blurry. They could only tell that the person resembled Liam a little. Celena was stunned when she saw the photo on Qemal's phone. It was just a blurry profile, but she believed that that was Liam. That was because the resemblance was uncanny. Not just the profile, but the height and build of the man looked too much like Liam.Celena quickly turned over to take a look and realized Kolten and the others escorted the mysterious young man into Misty Manor through the side door.Reginald and the other members of the Stone family looked at Celena with an inquisi
Once Sherah saw the video on Celena's phone, she mocked, "I figured. How could it possibly be the loser Liam? He doesn't even have the right to attend the dinner with us, much less let Mr. Reath and the others welcome him personally."The rest of the Stone family nodded and agreed.Qemal glanced at the photo he took, and then he glanced at the video on Celena's phone. It was already confirmed that Liam was not the mysterious big shot, but Qemal still could not help but exclaim, "I can't believe two people would look so much alike. How surprising!"As soon as Qemal said that, Sherah slapped him on the head. She looked upset as she barked, "How could you just shout when you didn't even get a good look? Think about it. Liam is just a loser. Even if he has a special relationship with Mr. Reath, he's still not important enough for the other two big bosses to come and give him a personal welcome."Qemal felt a little helpless and rubbed his head after he received the slap. He looked at t
Kolten nodded to his assistant, who immediately understood what he was supposed to do. He turned around and brought out a tray, atop which perched a few sets of masks.Kolten explained, smiling, "Mr. Cole, I know you want to keep your identity a secret, so I prepared all these masks in advance for you to wear. That way no one will be able to recognize you."Liam glanced at the masks. Considering the fact that Kolten had served him well over the time they had known each other, he decided to let this slide. He smiled and replied, "Very well then. You can get up. This is not to happen again, do you understand?"Kolten quickly got to his feet, wiping the nervous sweat from his forehead, and replied obediently, "Yes, sir…"The entire room was pindrop silent, and Kolten was the first one to break the silence by smiling and greeting everyone who had arrived. The guests, among the city's most successful and elite, were startled to see how Kolten treated Liam. Although they did not know who
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
