"I don't know who this Liam Cole fellow is, but who dares outrightly disrespect the Carson family shall face our wrath! I have gathered you all here today to demand justice for our beloved family members. We need to put our heads together and come up with a plan to get revenge on Liam Cole and the Stone family!"Nash was certain that Liam alone could not have wiped out the entire Walker clan himself. Therefore, he must have had someone more powerful working in the dark to back him up. Everyone knew that the Walkers, despite being in Drunham City, had intricate connections with the Carson family here in Dernburg City. Therefore, one would not even dream of messing with the Walkers, knowing that they had an even more powerful force behind them. However, the entire Walker clan got wiped out practically overnight. The worst part was, the Carson family did not hear of this until recently. This meant that whoever was behind the attack on the Walkers had powerful connections that managed t
Nash then turned to another who looked about his age, sitting just beneath him. He had a white goatee and was dressed in a suit similar to his. Although he was not sitting at the head of the room, one could not undermine his equally powerful aura. "Neil, you used to work as a government official in Willoughby, so you must have plenty of connections there. We need your help. We need you to employ the connections you have in Willoughby and find out who is the person responsible for the Walkers' downfall. I want everything there is to know about this, and I will make them all pay the price of their sins!" This man was none other than Neil Carson, Nash's younger brother who used to work in Willoughby but had since then retired from his post. He opened his eyes slowly, a menacing glint flashing through them. He then stood up with his hands behind his back and said to his brother, "Don't you worry, Nash, I'll get to the bottom of this. I watched Clora and Trent grow up like they were my
A seething rage boiled in Nash's eyes. The audacity of Liam to outright disrespect them like this! Any act of terrorism on the Walkers was an indirect taunt to the Carsons' authority, and he could not allow anyone to get away with dishonoring their name!"Don't you worry, Leah. I will capture Liam Cole with my bare hands and avenge you!" Nash snarled.All of a sudden, the butler returned, looking rather panicked as he burst through the doors. "Sir, there are guests outside…"Nash furrowed his brows. "Guests? Who are they?"No one would show up on the Carsons' doorstep without first identifying themselves, so who could it be?The butler replied, panting, "I don't know, sir, but they don't look like locals. They seem like they're not from here or even Athenapolis at all."A scowl crossed Nash's face, clearly displeased at his time being wasted in such a manner. "Well, since they didn't call in to notify us beforehand, we shall not entertain them! Send them off!"The butler nodded,
One of the Carsons turned to stare at Liam with a contemptuous look. "So you're the good-for-nothing orphan that married into the Stones, huh? I didn't peg for such a hero wannabe—but you showing up at our door saves us the trouble of having to track you down!""He thinks he's a hero, but he's really an idiot! Who does he think we are? Let me tell you, punk, you've finally met your end!""You don't have to worry anymore, Leah. Now that he's brought himself right to our doorstep, we'll slit his throat and spill his blood on our floors. We will turn him into a statue and make him pay for his sins!""The audacity of this man to show up here after murdering our beloved family members! He's going to regret this in every last ounce of his being!"The Carsons did not seem to think Liam, Joseph, or Albert were tangible threats at all. Instead, they cast their disdainful glances all over them as though already sentencing them to death in their minds!The Carsons deemed what Liam had done t
Liam's searing aura made Nash pause in surprise. He was rather taken aback by this; not only did Liam display an inexplicably formidable aura, but he even stood his ground when coming face-to-face with an opponent significantly more powerful than he was.Nash was not the only one shocked by this. The rest of the Carsons were equally intimidated, not that they would admit it outright, but their expressions had changed from contempt to awe. However, Nash soon snapped out of his stupor, and a glimmer of malice flashed through his eyes. He stared at Liam, his eyes ablaze with cold rage, and said, "You fool! Arrogance will only bring you so far. Unfortunately for you, today is the day you meet your match! No one can save you now, young man! No one can stand a chance against the Carson family!"Liam shook his head, an amused smile playing on his lips. He did not seem at all bothered by Nash's statement and instead replied calmly, "I thought that the Carson family would turn out to be dif
How could someone like him possibly command such power?Even Nash and Cirold, who had met their fair share of legendary fighters and warriors of their time, were equally stunned by this. Who would have thought that they would one day feel such power in the hands of a young man?Nash could not help but question the information he had been told about Liam's background. Could Liam be so much more powerful than what his background check came up with? Could he be hiding other things?Cirold was just as baffled. He could not help but wonder if everything they knew about this man had been wrong, and they had severely underestimated their opponent!The two of them exchanged dubious glances. Leah was so intimidated by Liam's display of rage that she clamped her mouth shut, terrified. Liam shot her a look so cold that she froze, mid-sentence, and her next words spilled out in a panicked stammer, "Wh…wha…what are you trying to do? I'm warning you, Liam, that you're standing right in my terr
The rest of the Carsons had the exact same thought as Leah. After all, they were the wealthiest and most influential family in Dernburg City, so they did not need a reason to do anything they wanted. To them, it did not matter what intentions Trent had, but all that mattered was that he was now dead, and it was Liam's doing. The thought of her husband and children's murderer standing just a few feet away from her sent anger coursing through her veins, and she could not hold her fury in any longer. She stared up at Liam, her bloodshot eyes crazed with hatred, and screamed, "Liam Cole! I don't care what you say—I'm going to make you and your entire family pay for your sins! I'm going to spill your blood over my family's graves!"Liam, however, was unfazed by this. He shook his head and replied, "Is that so? Do you even know who I am? Do you think you can lay any hands on me without repercussions?"Leah burst into a manic cackle, clearly amused by Liam's statement. Her contempt was ev
"I'd like to see what a good-for-nothing weakling who relies only on his wife's family to survive is capable of doing! Slaughter the Carson clan, eh? I'd like to see you try!"Even Cirold was beside himself with rage to hear this. How dare someone like Liam threaten to slaughter them? Who did he think he was?Cirold glared at Liam and snarled, "I've never heard anything more arrogant in my life, Liam Cole! Do you think we're scared of you? We're not even scared of the entire Stone family combined, so why do you think we'd be intimidated by you? In fact, we can squish you as easily as killing an ant!"The rest of the Carsons all snapped out of their stupor and were immediately overcome by their indignation. They cast Liam looks of disdain, clearly outraged by his pompous demeanor. "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can wipe out the entire Carson clan by yourself? In your dreams!""Do you have any idea how powerful we are? What a joke. Even the legendary Black Dragon comma
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
