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
With Nash's status and connections, as well as his sons' statuses, the Carson family were practically royalty in Dernburg City and even Athenapolis.The governor of Dernburg, Caleb, would be polite to the head of the Carson family, let alone any other ordinary people.The heads of the families and businesses who were present had business dealings with the Carson family. Other than those who were in the room, Nash had the most powerful connections in Athenapolis.How could such a powerful family be destroyed so easily?Everyone in the room thought they misheard Joseph. It was after they saw his solemn expression that they knew he was not joking.Caleb was dumbfounded. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, but he did not dare to wipe it off. He swallowed his saliva nervously instead and put on an awkward smile before he asked in fear, "Sir, are you joking with us?"The Carson family were practically royalties in Dernburg. They are a long-established family. How could they be dest
What did they just hear?The Carson family attempted to murder the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors, as well as his wife and his daughter.Everyone in the room was questioning their eyes, wondering if they were hearing things.After they regained their senses, they saw that Liam was filled with a burning desire to kill and was incensed. It was only then the crowd accepted the reality.Caleb's jaw was almost on the ground. He was so in disbelief that his eyes were wide.How audacious of the Carson family! They attempted to murder the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors!That was a man that the commanders-in-chief of other war zones had to be respectful of when they met him. How could the Carson family have the guts to do such a despicable thing?Liam looked at Caleb with an intense ruthlessness in his eyes. Then, he asked icily, "I want to destroy the Carson family. Do you have an opinion on that?"The crowd shuddered and looked at each other. Not a single p
"I know what you're concerned about. You guys don't have to do anything. I'm just here today to give all of you a piece of advice. I'm going to destroy the Carson family. If any of you dare to stop me and help them fight against me, then you'll end up just like them," Liam said icily.His warning was very clear. If any of them who were present dared to help the Carson family in secret and pull some tricks to stop him, then he would not mind getting rid of them as well.All the people in the room were famous big shots of Dernburg. They were always standing at the top of the pyramid in Dernburg.However, they were not as formidable as they used to be when they were facing Liam at that moment. In comparison to Liam, they were insignificant.They were indeed weak and insignificant in comparison to the only five-star commander-in-chief in Biskeland.Liam did not waste time talking to Caleb anymore. He asked Joseph, "Where are the thirty thousand Stormwing Riders?"Joseph exuded a migh
Geoffrey's entire demeanor was stoic. He took in a deep breath, then turned to Timothy with a solemn look and said, "I think this isn't the end of the story. All of you are familiar with Liam. Do you honestly think he'd back off so easily?"The remaining three Elders all shuddered at the thought of this. Bad feelings arose in their hearts. It felt like something terrible was going to happen soon, but they did not know what. Timothy replied, "Geoffrey, are you suggesting that…"Before he could even finish his sentence, Geoffrey, Jim, and Michael all nodded, their expressions grim. It would appear that all of them were thinking the exact same thing!All of a sudden, Timothy's assistant knocked on the door frantically, then burst in without waiting for an answer, "Mr. Norton, something terrible has happened! I just received news from the Pendragon War Zone. Apparently, the King Pendragon had reassigned the troops of the Stormwing Riders out of the Pendragon War Zone just a few hours
Timothy's face was ashen. He stood with his back facing the others, gazing out the window in deep contemplation. Finally, after some consideration, he came up with an idea. He returned to his seat and said to the remaining three Elders, "I'll handle this!"With that, he took out his phone and dialed the Western Biskeland war zone headquarters. "Mr. Chambers, this is Timothy Norton from the Grand Pendragon department speaking. I would like to alert you to the fact that the King Pendragon has sent out thirty thousand members of the Stormwing Riders to your war zone a few hours ago. "The Grand Pendragon Department wishes to alert you to this and to warn you that you are not allowed to open fire on the King Pendragon! Once he arrives in Dernburg City, you will stand by and let him pass, but you are not allowed to get involved in any way, shape or form. The Grand Pendragon Department will personally see to it that no lives or damages occur during the King Pendragon's arrival, and we wi
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
