With that, Liam flung his arm, his ceremonial coat with its green dragon emblem whipping through the air, and he strode past Cirold without a backward glance.Cirold's shock morphed into a snarl, his eyes wild with a thirst for vengeance.In a flash, he drew a pistol, aiming the dark barrel at Liam's back. "Bullshit! The Carsons are top dogs in Dernburg. My brother, Austin Carson, runs the command center, and Rocky's a general in Northern Biskeland. You think you can just sniff us? You may be the big shot of Pendragon, but if you're dead, who's to say what happened?" he screamed.Cirold had clearly lost it, and his mind fixated on a single, deadly goal: to take out Liam, regardless of his status as the Commander-in-chief of Pendragon. If Liam were dead, who would be the wiser?However, he had overlooked a crucial detail. It was not just about whether he could best Liam, the formidable five-star Dragon Marshal. There were also Joseph and Albert, the deputy commanders, not to mention
Liam's eyes followed Caleb's gaze to Cirold, who was drenched in blood. He gave a faint nod and said, "Let the cops in Dernburg take care of this."Caleb, mopping the sweat off his brow as if caught in a downpour, quickly agreed, "Absolutely!"He sneaked a peek at the captured goons outside, then at the car behind him, and let out a sigh of relief.Tonight might just spell the end for the Carson family in Dernburg.Liam, seated in the back, radiated an icy ferocity, his eyes flickering with lethal intent. "Let's roll! To the Carson family estate!"At the same time, Nash was seated in the grand hall in the Carson family estate, just like the previous day, with rows of family representatives before him. Cirold's seat to his right was conspicuously empty.A worried look crossed the face of a representative from one of the family branches. "Mr. Carson, Cirold has been gone for quite a while. Why hasn't he come back? Could something have gone wrong?"That question set off a wave of c
The butler dropped to his knees and said anxiously, "Sir, M-Mr. Cirold is back."Nash was so delighted to hear that he got up from the chair and called out, "What? Cirold is back? That's great! Where is he now? What about Liam? Did Cirold bring Liam back as well?"All the representatives of the Carson family were filled with happiness. All of them got up from their chairs and looked at the butler while beaming.The butler had a look of terror upon hearing Nash's words. He trembled as he replied, "Mr. Cirold! Mr. Cirold was brought home by Liam! Liam!"He started to stutter at the thought of what he just witnessed earlier.Nash and the others were shocked, looking at the butler in disbelief.Nash, especially, was taken aback. Without missing a beat, he barked, "What the hell is going on? Hurry up and tell me the truth!"Just as he said that a few figures with a strong murderous intent appeared at the entrance.Albert was standing in the forefront, holding a knife. Once he got to the doo
Nash, in particular, knew better than everyone else what Liam's shoulder ranks meant since he was from the military. His face became incredibly sour as he stared at Liam's uniform.How could Liam possibly be a commander-in-chief? That was impossible!He was just a useless person who was married into the humble Stone family in Drunham City. It was absolutely impossible for him to be a commander-in-chief.Refusing to believe that he would be so unlucky, Nash tried to probe and asked, "Y-you're a commander-in-chief? That's impossible! Aren't you Liam Cole? I've done a background check on you. "You're the only survivor in the Cole family. You joined the army in the Pendragon War Zone, and you've returned after you've been discharged. You're nothing more than a live-in son-in-law of the Stone family now. How could you possibly be a commander-in-chief?"Liam sneered and asked in return, "Hmph! Do you think what you found out is definitely true?"Nash shuddered after hearing Liam's wor
"Hmph! Liam, you're simply getting yourself killed." Nash's words which were filled with rage and murderous intent echoed through the room.The representatives of the Carson family in the room looked at Liam and his uniform with frostiness and desire to kill as well upon hearing what Nash said. All of them, except for Cirold, who was lying on the ground, was looking at Liam like he was done for.Cirold was incredibly anxious at the moment. His eyes were filled with fear. Listening to what Nash said and what the others were discussing softly got Cirold feeling so anxious that he wanted to explain right away.However, right at that moment, Liam suddenly chuckled and said calmly, "You knew a lot of things. But, how can you tell that I'm not the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors?"His words left all of them in silence in an instant.Nash and the others were surprised as they looked at Liam. They saw that he looked calm, so they could not help but feel a hint of fear for no
Cirold was even more afraid that the Carson family would truly have no chance of surviving anymore if Nash were to continue talking without thinking."Dad! I'm being serious! He's the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors!" Cirold called out.Nash's expression darkened, his eyebrows furrowed. He looked at Cirold on the floor and bellowed, "Cirold! Stop with the nonsense! Are you fooled by him too? Do you know who the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors is? Liam is a man who married into his wife's family and has nobody to back him up. How could he possibly be the legendary King Pendragon?"Nash turned to Liam, looking ferocious with murderous intent in his eyes. He said in a frosty voice, "Hmph! You're quite bold since you have the guts to come to the Carson Mansion tonight. Still, that meant nothing. "Young men like you will eventually have to pay for your recklessness. Since you've come to serve yourself up on a silver platter, tonight will be the night you meet
Nash and the other members of the Carson family were all sneering. It was as if they could already see Liam wailing in pain on the ground after both of his arms were chopped off.However, what happened next wiped off the smiles on everybody's faces.That was because before the two mercenaries got near Liam, he threw a punch at both the mercenaries' chests, sending them flying.Both the mercenaries flew across the room, smashing into the big pillars that were five meters away while everyone watched in fear. Both of them threw up blood before they landed and died on the spot.Cracks appeared on the pillars behind them.Silence fell upon the room.Nash and the other Carson family, as well as the group of mercenaries, were stunned. Their eyes widened in disbelief.With just two punches, Liam was able to send two mercenaries with the level of a Second Order War King flying, killing them on the spot. How terrifyingly strong must he be to be able to do that?While the crowd was still
Nash panicked as he was surrounded by the bodies of the mercenaries. His knees turned to jelly, and he could not stop shaking all over. If he was not supported by the walking stick in his hand, he would have already fallen to the ground.Nash's eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Liam and asked while shaking, "W-who the hell are you?"Liam remained standing in the same place calmly. Taking care of the mercenaries was a piece of cake for him, so much so that his uniform was not even messy. He still had the same formidable might to him as he looked at Nash calmly. The latter, however, were so stunned by Liam's gaze that he started to tremble all over.Liam had a frosty look and said icily, "I am the commander-in-chief of the Pendragon Warriors!"His tone was calm and cold, smashing the bit of hope Nash and the other members of the Carson family were holding onto. Everyone started to panic and began to feel scared as well.Liam was truly the commander-in-chief of the Pendrag
