"Well done. Great job. Oh yes, your brother is the deputy commissioner for the Discipline Inspection Commission, isn't he?" Liam asked.Howard's eyes twinkled as soon as he heard that, and he quickly replied, "Yes! Nevaeh Scott is my brother's daughter. She took her mother's last name. She has a bad temper and has offended many young men and women from eminent families. "She was then sent to Drunham City by my brother as he wanted her to learn from the ground up. I wonder when she will learn to conduct herself properly around others."Liam searched his brain and recalled who Howard was talking about. He asked, "Oh? Nevaeh is your niece?"Howard knew what his niece did, so he smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, Mr. Cole. My niece didn't know who you were and has offended you. I hope you'll forgive her."She has been spoiled since she was a child, and she's impatient, hates the evil to her guts, and is also impulsive. I've given her a stern lecture after what happened."Liam did
The middle-aged man playing with Jovie turned around to look at Liam. A young man handed him a towel respectfully, and he wiped his hands casually. Finally, his calm gaze landed on Liam."So, you're Liam?" the middle-aged man asked, though he sounded certain.Liam frowned, exuding a frosty air slowly. He had a frosty gleam in his eyes as he replied, "That's right. I'm Liam. Who are you?"The man in the black boxing uniform handed the towel to his student. A faint smile appeared on his face as he said, "Excellent! Let me introduce myself. My name is West, Leon West. You may know me as Mr. West from the state."Liam frowned as a thought formed in his head. Sunniva was telling the truth. The Norris family sent Mr. West to look for him.Was Mr. West from the state?How interesting. Liam did not expect the Norris family to send someone over, much less act so quickly.Right at that moment, Jovie—who played at the side—saw that Liam returned. With a lollipop in her hand, she rushed to
Could it be that Liam committed a terrible crime?Celena became nervous. She was shaking as she asked, "Hello, Mr. Mosier. Why are you here at my home? Do you need our help? Or did my husband do something wrong?"It was not Celena's fault to think that way. The group of men who suddenly barged into the cottage earlier looked like they were not someone anybody would want to mess with. Celena was so frightened by them.Finally, Liam returned after Celena waited for a long time. However, as soon as she stepped out of her home with Jovie in her arms, she saw a police officer standing outside the door, and he was the police chief of Drunham City.It would only be natural for her to suspect that Liam committed a crime, which was why a police officer was at their door.Seeing that Celena misunderstood, Howard cursed in his mind and explained, "Ms. Stone, no, Mrs. Cole, you're mistaken. I'm not here to look for Mr. Cole. I'm here because I escorted him home. We needed Mr. Cole to cooperat
Leon put down the cup and nodded with a wicked grin. "That's right. It seems like you've understood it perfectly. So, what's your choice? Do you choose to save yourself from the pain and end your own life? Or do you want to take the risk and fight with me?"Before Liam could answer, Leon continued, "But I don't mind telling you this—no matter what path you choose today, all that's waiting for you at the end of the road is death. "After all, the youngest of the three brothers, Hoyt, has given me a lot of money before I came. I have to take care of the problem since I've accepted his money. That's why you'll have to die today."Liam was still standing in place calmly. There was no sign of fear on his face at all. He raised his eyebrow and asked in return, "Oh, is that so? It looks like you've made up your mind about my capabilities, and you're certain that I won't be able to survive this fight with you. Isn't that right?"Leon had a frosty glint in his eyes as he surveyed Liam with
Leon was befuddled right as he fell from the chair, and he kneeled on the floor in a daze.What the hell was going on? No matter what, Leon had the ability of a one-star Military King, yet he was so frightened by the young man in front of him that he dropped to his knees.The superiority that Leon felt all this while made him feel embarrassed and furious at that moment, and he struggled to get back up on his feet.However, his legs had no strength at all. That made him feel more panicked by the second. Beads of cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead as well."Tell me! Who the hell are you? You have such a terrifying ability, so why would you be willing to marry into a humble family like the Stones? Who the hell are you?" Leon's face was filled with terror. His eyes that were widened were filled with shock and fear.Liam walked up to Leon, stopping when he was just three steps away from him. He looked down at Leon, who was kneeling on the floor in fear, and said in a frosty ton
Liam shook his head with a smile and said, "Nothing much. There are so many of them. How could I be their match? They were probably frightened because I mentioned General Malcom Lynch from Drunham City."However, Celena was not so easily fooled anymore after all that she had been through. She stared at Liam with suspicion and asked, "Really? Liam, I keep feeling like you're hiding a lot of things from me."Liam still had a calm smile on his face as he held Celena's hand and replied, "I'm not hiding anything from you. That's really what happened. I didn't lie to you."Celena's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, but she did not know what to say when she saw Liam's smile. She just hummed as an acknowledgment and walked into the cottage.Liam glanced at Howard while carrying Jovie, giving him a slight nod before he walked into the cottage as well. Howard, on the other hand, got into his car and left.Meanwhile, Yousef and Rebecca checked into the Luxoria Hotel, the place where Yankel com
Others only knew that Yousef was close to the state police chief, Clarke. However, nobody knew that the Bristow Group and Clarke had some dealings in secret. Being the state police chief, Clarke was able to take care of a lot of trouble for them.Such business would never be clean. They would not stand a chance once the Discipline Inspection looked into them. That was why Yousef would be terrified after he heard what the man said over the phone earlier.If they were truly investigated, and the Bristow Group was implicated, it would create a huge commotion in the group.After the man on the other end of the phone heard Yousef asking anxiously, he replied respectfully, "I've got it, sir. It's Cidro Mosier, Deputy Commissioner of the Discipline Inspection Commission, who led the team himself and arrested Chief Clarke."There is only news about Chief Clarke being investigated. There still isn't any specific news about the reason Chief Clarke was taken away."There's quite a big commot
Yousef was silent for a few seconds and made up his mind. He had a frosty glint in his eyes as he said, "We'll treat Liam and his wife, the young lady from the Stone family, to dinner tonight.""What did you say?" Rebecca was furious as soon as she heard what Yousef said. She was angry and reluctant as she shouted, "Darling, are you crazy? Liam is the culprit who got our son locked up behind bars, yet you want to treat him to dinner? What the hell are you thinking? I don't care. I can't treat the culprit who harmed my son to dinner."Rebecca was afraid Yousef would insist, so she quickly stood up from the couch, rushing up to Yousef. She grabbed his arm and bellowed, "Darling, Liam is the one who framed our son!""Enough!" Yousef was already feeling very irritated because nothing was going his way, yet Rebecca was still harassing him. He was sullen as he shouted, which frightened Rebecca so much that she shuddered.Yousef turned to look at Rebecca and saw her looking reluctant. He
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
