"Liam, what are you hiding from me? Why are you refusing to tell me? Aren't you husband? Why are you always not telling me the truth?"The hint of grievance that she felt was intensified as she spoke, so much so that tears were welling in her eyes and she had a catch in her throat.Seeing that, Liam quickly walked up to her and held her hand. He was serious as he gazed into Celena's bloodshot eyes and said, "Celena, I'm not lying. What I said was true. I know Marvin is somebody that we can't afford to piss off. That was why I used King Pendragon's name to frighten him. I'm not lying to you."Liam let go of Celena's hand and gently wiped off the tears in the corner of her. Then, he took out the token that was emerald in color and handed it to her."Here. Look. This is the token earlier. This is indeed equivalent to a commander's order. But this is also a medal of honor. "Like I said before, I was a soldier in the Pendragon War Zone, and I've made some outstanding contributions. Be
Celena's eyes widened as she carried Jovie in her arms, watching as the truck came right at her. She stood in place as if her legs were cemented to the ground.Right as the big truck was almost about to approach Celena, an aggressive figure lunged at her, tackling her out of the way.At that moment, the truck that lost control sped past the spot Celena was standing earlier, running through the landscape by the road and crashing into a store by the street.The truck happened to crash into the glass window of the store, shattering it. The truck then drove straight into the store.There were a few pedestrians in front of the store and by the street. They could not dodge in time, so many people were injured by the truck. They were all lying on the ground all covered in blood and wailing.The alarm of the store was going off and the surroundings were filled with screams and wails. The situation became incredibly messy.After Liam tackled Celena and Jovie, he made a turn mid-air and pu
Suddenly, Liam's phone rang.He looked at his phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.Liam frowned and answered the call. He heard the voice of an unfamiliar middle-aged woman coming from the other end of the phone.The woman's voice was filled with resentment and viciousness as she said, "Liam, I'll make your wife and daughter pay for my husband and children's lives! Bear this in mind! I'll pay you a heavy price. What happened today is just a warning for you. You won't be so lucky next time!"The call ended.As Liam listened to the busy tone, his face became serious. He quickly looked at the crowd around him, keeping every person in the streets nearby and every store in his vision.After he scanned his surroundings, he did not find anything unusual. Because of that, the hostility Liam exuded became stronger, and his eyes gradually turned red.Who the hell was it who deliberately wanted to run Celena and Jovie over and kill them? Could it be his enemy from another countr
Liam's expression darkened upon hearing that. The hostile air he was exuding grew stronger. He asked icily, "Who was it who tampered with the brakes?"Howard wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and answered cautiously, "We haven't found any leads at the moment, but we're looking into it. Oh yes, about the call. The number was changed, but I still found out the call was from Dernburg."Liam frowned and asked, "Dernburg?"It was a number from Dernburg? Who could it be? Could be the man with the spooky mask? Howard nodded and continued solemnly, "That's right. It's Dernburg. Also, Mr. Cole, I have a suspicion about this matter.""What suspicion?" Liam asked."Do you remember what I said to you after the Walker family was destroyed?"Howard glanced at Liam's expression upon saying that. After he saw Liam nod a little, he quickly continued, "I'm guessing that Leah Carson, Morgan's wife, might very likely be the person behind this incident. She wants to seek revenge for her husb
It was because the 30,000 Stormwing Riders were too strong that they were holding down the last defense at the borders of the Pendragon War Zone.All Stormwing Riders were great at battle and were the most outstanding soldiers selected from several hundred thousand people.Also, they were famous for not retreating. Even if a troop a million strong came to launch an attack, the 30,000 soldiers guarding the borders would not back down at all.That was because they were the Strormwing Riders, and they would only answer to a person's command. That person was the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon War Zone, Liam.With the orders from Liam, the Stormwing Riders absolutely would not leave the Pendragon War Zone.That was why Calum would have such a huge reaction after he heard that Liam wanted to mobilize them."Yes, I'll mobilize them now!" Calum replied respectfully.Howard was shocked to hear that order as well. He had a solemn expression and was in utter shock.Ever since he lear
An urge to kill gleamed in Liam's eyes at the thought of the person behind this incident. However, the look vanished before Celena saw it.Then, Liam brushed Celena's face gently and answered her questions, "Mmhmm. I'm going to Athenapolis. I have some things to take care of. Don't worry. I'll only be gone for a few days. I'll be back soon."Celena nodded and did not ask any further. However, she could not help herself but feel worried, so she urged, "Liam, you have to be careful. I know you have a bad temper and would do something rash very easily. Don't get yourself hurt when you're out there."Hearing Celena feel so worried about him made Liam feel touched. His smile grew wider, and his gaze became even gentler because of that.He then nodded seriously and made Celena a promise while she looked at him with concern.…That night, the Denburg City Airport was packed with armed soldiers. The security around the tarmac was tight as well.More than ten important figures from the s
Logically speaking, since the top five families of Dernburg City appeared, then the Carson family should be informed as well since they were the wealthiest in the city. However, the man on the phone pointed out that they should keep a low profile and not inform the Carson family.As the governor, Caleb was a little confused when he heard that. The reason the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors came to Dernburg City in the middle of the night might have something to do with the Carson family.The people who were welcoming Liam at the airport at that moment were the relevant people who were named by the person on the phone. Caleb did not understand why, but he knew he should just do as he was told.Because of that, Caleb appeared at the airport within an hour with the people that were mentioned.At that moment, the door to the private plane slowly opened. A tall figure with a formidable air appeared in front of the crowd.Liam was dressed in the military uniform and hat for
Caleb led a group of high-ranking officials of the state and were standing in the town hall of Dernburg City. The heads of the top five families in Dernburg City, except for the Carson family, were there as well. The presidents of the second and third wealthiest companies in the city were also included.At that moment, all of them were standing respectfully next to the chairs on either side of the meeting table.The head of the long meeting table was initially Caleb's seat, but it was empty at that moment. Caleb was standing to the left of the head of the table instead.None of the people in the room had the guts to sit because they were waiting for the arrival of a big shot—the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors, Liam.Soon, the sound of strong and heavy footsteps could be heard coming from the door. It was the sound of combat boots hitting the tiles on the floor.The meeting room door was opened and in came Liam and his men.Liam walked straight to the head of the tab
