"Besides, it's been ages since I've seen Celena. Now that I'm back and we've bumped into each other, I just want to treat her to a meal and catch up. The cost isn't a big deal!"Kendrick's words were loaded with unspoken meaning.He was practically saying that when it came to dining with Celena, money was no object.Any regular guy would have blown his top if he heard that, but Liam was anything but regular.Liam just gave a cool "Oh," then feigned confusion about Kendrick's intent, asking, "So, Mr. Hyde, you're saying I can order anything I fancy since you're footing the bill today?"Caught off guard, Kendrick still nodded with supreme confidence, casually assuring Liam, "Absolutely, Liam, take your pick. Anything goes. I'm covering it all today!""Well, Mr. Hyde, since you're being so generous, I won't hold back either!"Liam let out a sly chuckle and then instructed the waiter to bring one of every signature dish on the menu!He did not stop there, he ordered the priciest wi

The man in the gray suit, flanked by his bodyguards and the armed soldiers, ushered middle-aged man, Lukas Rhodes, into the Manor House Kitchen.That display caught the eye of everyone nearby, from the pedestrians on the street to the patrons inside the restaurant.Even Kendrick and his companions, who were just about to leave, found themselves rooted to the spot, captivated by the unfolding drama.Kendrick's eyes widened in shock and excitement when he recognized the middle-aged man in the crisp military uniform. "Isn't that Mr. Rhodes, the commander-in-chief of our state garrison??" he blurted out, his face alight with recognition.Celena, on the other hand, looked on with confusion, not knowing the man. "Kendrick, is that Mr. Rhodes from the state garrison?""Yes, it is!""Celena, hang tight for a sec. I need to go say hi to them!"Brimming with eagerness, Kendrick made a beeline for the man.However, before Kendrick could get anywhere close, he was blocked by two guards, th

"And another thing, do you even know who we're talking about here? Celena meeting someone as influential as this can only be good for her. And you're trying to stand in her way? "Kendrick finished speaking and gave Liam the cold shoulder, not bothering to hold Celena's hand any longer. With a meaningful look, he said, "Celena, let's not dawdle. We should head inside.""Sure." Celena cast a lingering glance at Liam, then nodded to Kendrick and turned to make her way to the restaurant.Liam's face twisted into a scowl, his eyes icy as he stared down Kendrick. "So what if he's a major general in the state garrison? Think he's a big deal? My wife needs to rub elbows with the high and mighty, and I can introduce her to bigger fish than you!"Kendrick was caught off guard for a second, then his expression turned stormy, and he gave Liam a look of pure disdain. "Really? I must be hearing things."Liam, are you trying to be the comic relief here? I know all about you. You're nothing but

Kendrick did not even try to hide it when he laid his cards on the table about Celena, not caring that Liam was right there.He did not give Liam a second thought.To Kendrick, Liam was just a deadbeat who lucked out by marrying into the family. They are not even in the same league!Liam's face turned to stone as he listened, his brows knitting together, his gaze icy as it locked onto Kendrick.However, Yrian, the savvy businessman, was not about to let things get awkward. He laughed it off and steered the conversation elsewhere. "Let's drop it, folks. We're all friends here, right? Let's head on up and not keep Mr. Rhodes hanging."Without waiting for Liam's input, Yrian led the way to the already booked private room.Kendrick, with Yrian having spoken, could not really push it. He looked down at Liam like he was doing him a favor and said, "Alright, your lucky day. Come on, then."Celena hurried to straighten up her outfit, a flush of excitement on her cheeks as she followed t

Watching Liam defeat the enemy commander filled Lukas with an overwhelming sense of excitement and reverence.Across Biskeland's battlefronts, Liam had become an icon. Countless soldiers aspired to follow in the footsteps of King Pendragon and serve under his command!King Pendragon was not only known for his formidable strength but also for his fierce loyalty to his troops. It was that unwavering care that drew people to him, and Lukas was among the most devoted of his followers.That was exactly why Lukas was over the moon when he saw Liam. Imagine a fan, glued to their phone, devouring the latest news about their favorite celebrity, and then, in a blink, they are face-to-face with their hero, even exchanging words. The rush was like a wild ride on a roller coaster.Kendrick and Yrian stood frozen, their faces a picture of shock, as they watched Lukas leap to his feet and salute Liam. Kendrick, who had always scorned Liam, was particularly floored, his jaw practically hitting the
