Liam turned his head and asked with hesitation, "Huh?"Celena felt relieved to see Liam calm down. She was afraid Liam would do something rash in a fit of anger, so she quickly explained, "It's true. I'm fine. Mr. Miller appeared later on. It's the Mr. Miller from Misty Manor. He was the one who saved me."Celena then told Liam about everything that happened in the hotel. Once she was done, she felt a huge weight lifted off her chest.She continued, "Fortunately, I was saved by Mr. Miller. If Yankel succeeded, I truly wouldn't know how to face you."Liam heard that Celena's tone was filled with gratitude. He could not help but think, 'Silly woman. I'm the Mr. Miller you mentioned.'He listened to Celena in silence, then he pretended to get jealous and asked, "Mr. Miller? Is he the one Sherah tried to set you up with? Is he the reason Sherah wanted us to get a divorce?"Liam was jealous of himself. What a unique experience that was.Celena could tell that Liam was upset, so she s
After Liam comforted Celena, she felt her fear vanished. Her mind was initially still uneasy, but she gradually calmed down as well.Suddenly, Celena thought of something. She freed herself from Liam's embrace and said in a serious tone, "Oh yes, Liam, I know you're bothered by Mr. Miller, but he has saved me twice. I want to treat him to dinner to thank him. After all, if it wasn't for him this time, I probably would've. Don't worry. I won't do anything to betray you. I just want to buy him dinner."Liam did not listen closely to what Celena was saying anymore. All he was thinking about was how to deal with Yankel. After all, he was still locked up in the police station. Hearing that Celena wanted to treat Mr. Miller to dinner, he agreed, "Mmhmm. You should buy him dinner to thank him—"Suddenly, Liam came to his senses. He was in a great panic as he asked, "What? Celena, you want to treat Mr. Miller to dinner?"Seeing Liam so shocked, Celena looked confused and asked, "Y-yes. Wha
Celena nodded and said helplessly, "Mmhmm. That's all I can do for now."After Celena finished the cup of chamomile tea, Liam made supper for her and Jovie. Because Celena was frightened earlier, she had another cup of chamomile tea and went to bed early.It was after Celena and Jovie were asleep that Liam walked to the yard cautiously and called Calum."Calum, get someone to tell Celena Mr. Miller's number. Don't make it too obvious. Remember, don't expose my identity," Liam ordered softly before handing up the call.He was not in a hurry to return to the living room. He lit a cigarette in the yard instead and smoked it under the night sky.Mr. Miller helped Celena twice. With Celena's character, she would think of a way to thank him. Since Celena wanted to thank Mr. Miller, then as Mr. Miller himself, Liam had to help her fulfill her wish.Perhaps Celena would stop thinking about it once she treated Mr. Miller to dinner and thanked him.Liam just had no clue what to do when th
The air around Gavin immediately became freezing as soon as Jack finished his sentence. Gavin instantly burst out in a burning rage and shouted, "What?"He got up from the couch and kicked Jack, causing him to fall to the ground.At the same time, Gavin bellowed, "Others may not know about Diego and his brothers, but do you have no clue about them? I've spent so much money and trained them for so many years. "You only went to Drunham City once, and you're telling me two of them died, and the strongest of the two at that?"Gavin was incensed.Diego and John were the most skilled in combat among the three brothers. Gavin spent countless resources to train the three brothers. It took him years of training to get Fourth Order War King and two Third Order War Kings.Diego already had the ability of Fourth Order War King. John, on the other hand, was at the level of a Third Order War King, but he was going to be a Fourth Order War King soon. In other words, the Norris family would be
Gavin frowned and asked, "What did John say?"As Hoyt thought of what John said before he breathed his last, his eyes were filled with fear. Hoyt replied, "He's a God of War."Gavin's heart dropped and looked shocked upon hearing that. Still in disbelief, he asked again, "What did you say? Did John say he was a God of War? He said Liam was a God of War?"A God of War! He was a God of War!Hoyt's words hit Gavin like a bombshell, stunning him. That was because a God of War was at least a general in the military.A terrifying person like Liam was hiding in Drunham City and married into a third-rate family in the city?That made Gavin question how powerful Liam was. A God of War would not be an ordinary person no matter if they were in the war zone or not. How could such a powerful man be willing to give up his pride and marry into a small family?Because of that, Gavin was skeptical about Liam being a God of War, even though he was incredibly shocked.However, he had no choice bu
Gavin was having a hard time holding back his anger as he looked at Jack's face which was filled with grievance. He always spoiled Jack, his youngest son, since childhood, and that made Jack into a wimp.Seeing how cowardly Jack was made Gavin raise his hand, wanting to hit him. Jack quickly took a couple of steps back frightfully and shook his head. "No. I'm not aggrieved," he said.Hoyt quickly said, "Sir, we have no idea how powerful Liam truly is. Maybe we can ask Mr. West to meet him and find out about his ability. If he's not as strong as we imagine him to be, we might as well get rid of him since we're already at odds with each other. We can avenge Diego and John too."If he truly has the ability of a Military King or more, you could bribe him with a handsome price. If the Norris family has an ace with the ability of a Military King or higher to hold the fort."Hoyt did not continue, but everyone understood him.If the Norris family could hire a Military King or someone mor
The man on the other end of the call replied with a smile, "Sure, Mr. Norris. Don't worry. I'll leave for Drunham City tomorrow. I'll find out about Liam's background for you.""Alright, I'll wait for your good news, Mr. West," Gavin said with a smile as well.His smile vanished after the call ended. He looked at the sky outside the window with a solemn face and sank into deep thoughts.…Celena received a call from the company early morning the following day, telling her that there was an emergency meeting that she had to attend. The purpose of the meeting was about the collaboration between the Stone family and the Bristow Group.An uneasy feeling washed over Celena after she received the call. She did not forget what happened at the Luxoria Hotel last night. However, there was nothing she could do about it, so she had Liam take her to the office.Once they arrived, Celena said goodbye to Liam, she walked into the company with an anxious feeling.As Liam looked at Celena's bac
Cheryl was sitting next to Yafe, looking upset that the 15-million-dollar project was suddenly put on hold.She glared at Celena angrily and questioned, "Has the cat got your tongue, Celena? You were the one who had a meeting with Mr. Bristow last night. Now, the collaboration is paused. Hurry up and tell us what the hell happened. "Do you want us to lose such a big project that cost fifteen million dollars? Even if you don't have any feelings for the Stone family, you're living at Stone Mansion now. You should be contributing to the company, shouldn't you?"Sure enough, Cheryl's words made everyone even more worked up. Walter and Hayden usually could not get along with Yafe, but even they were on Yafe's side at that moment.Walter, Celena's uncle, echoed Cheryl and continued criticizing Celena in a frosty voice, "Celena, I'm not trying to pick on you. It's just that this is no small matter. As a member of the Stone family, how could you not think on behalf of the company? "You'
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
