A deathly silence fell over the entire Everluster Pavilion, engulfing it in a stillness akin to death itself.No one had anticipated the scene unfolding before them.Though they did not know Felix personally, they recognized him as representing the Lloyd family.The Lloyd Group from South City, no matter how one looked at it, was a substantial family business. Even if the Hill family surpassed them, customary respect was usually given.However, Lucy slapped Felix solely because he was disrespectful to the young man sitting at the main table.The scene lingered in the eyes of the guests, refusing to look away.Who was that young man sitting at the main table?Felix's gaze was blank. If not for the fiery pain on his face reminding him of it, Felix would probably have thought he was dreaming.Why? Just because of a worthless ex-convict, Lucy had dared to hit him!Though he was quite puzzled, Felix felt uneasy. He faintly felt that things seemed to have slipped from his control.
Lucy's decisive demeanor was a far cry from her gentle touch when holding Liam's arm. The guests in the hall were stunned.If slapping Felix once could be explained by a moment of urgency, then the second slap she delivered was enough to illustrate that Lucy's respect for Liam came from the depths of her heart.However, what shocked the guests the most was the implication in Lucy's words. The young man sitting at the main guest table was the benefactor she mentioned earlier. What exactly had he done?Compared to the guests, the impact on Tobias and Ronald was far more intense. Just like Felix, they could not believe what was happening. When had the worthless ex-convict Liam become the benefactor of the Hill family? Their hearts filled with panic.However, there was no chance for Ronald and the others to react.Lucy glared at Felix coldly. "Now, take your fifty million and get out! As for the other accounts, we'll settle them with the Lloyd family after the annual gathering!"
Liam was taken aback. "You're asking me to name it?"Lucy smiled again. "Of course! After all, from now on, every good deed this charity foundation does will be related to you, Grandmaster Burrey.""Since that's the case..."Liam squinted slightly, seemingly pondering something.Finally, he spoke up. "Then, let's call it the Harvest Union.""Harvest Union?" Lucy repeated.Although she did not know the significance behind Liam's choice of name, she found it exceptionally pleasing.Then, Lucy picked up the microphone. "Thanks to everyone for your generous support. Our charity foundation shall be named the Harvest Union Charity Foundation!"Her voice echoed throughout the hall.At that moment, neither Lucy nor the guests knew that the charity foundation, initially established with the help of the Hill family solely to express gratitude to Liam, would evolve into a colossal entity in the future, all because Liam had suggested the name.After finalizing the details concerning the
"What on earth happened?" Hailey exclaimed.Hailey's eyes widened in shock. Other members of the Allen family in the room swiftly turned their heads upon hearing Ronald's words."It's because of Liam," Ronald said with a grim expression.Hailey frowned. "What?"It was not just Hailey. Upon hearing Ronald's words, Serena could not help but stare blankly for a moment.She could not fathom how the Hill family's annual gathering was connected to Liam."It's like this…"Ronald sighed and began recounting the events of the Hill family's annual gathering."No way!""How is that possible?""That scoundrel Liam received such treatment from the Hill family?""He's a benefactor of the Hill family?""Just because of him, the Hill family is willing to give out a billion dollars?"As Ronald finished speaking, the entire room suddenly descended into chaos. The members of the Lloyd family widened their eyes, dumbfounded. They could not believe what Ronald had just said. How could that e
"Ah, I see! I always knew that worthless Liam had no right to associate with the Hill family!" Hailey exclaimed, her eyes widening in realization. With a face contorted with disgust, Hailey erupted in a tirade."That deceitful scoundrel, daring to impersonate a doctor to deceive the Hill family! Compared to the health of Mister Hill Senior, not to mention one billion dollars, the Hill family would probably be willing to offer ten billion dollars!"He's not content with his own demise, so he wants to drag the Lloyd family down with him! He didn't even speak up for us despite witnessing how much we suffered because of him. Liam, that scum, must've done it intentionally. He wants to harm our family!"Gritting her teeth, Hailey continued, "Ever since he was released from prison, have we had a single good day?"The members of the Lloyd family were suddenly stunned. In the next moment, their faces were consumed by anger."I always knew that scoundrel couldn't possess such abilities!"
"I told you..."Hailey snorted coldly, as if she wanted to say something more."Alright, enough talking."Ronald waved his hand, cutting off Hailey's words. With a hint of disdain, he glanced at Serena before turning around."As long as we find the reason, it's good. I'm afraid that Liam has something to do with the Hill family. What's fortunate now is that the waste doesn't have that capability at all!"That ex-convict Liam, sooner or later, will be discovered by the Hill family. When that time comes, the misunderstanding between us and the Hill family can be resolved. However, during this period, it's likely that the Lloyd Group will suffer quite a blow..."Ronald let out a heavy sigh. Obviously, even a temporary setback would be a blow that the Lloyd Group could not easily withstand.However, faced with all this, they had no way out.The more he thought about it, the more furious Ronald felt toward Liam. He clenched his fists tightly and exclaimed, "That b*stard!"However,
"Dad? Uncle Travis? Why are you both here?"There was a flicker of surprise in Lucy's eyes.Most of the Hill family members were in the room. The doctor, Harold Nashman, stood by Julian's bed, seemingly unsure of what to do.When Julian's condition became urgent, and there was seemingly no way to treat him, Lucy found the family still indecisive upon hearing the news about Liam. So, she brought Julian to South City.Lucy knew the risks of her actions were great, but for her, it was the only way out. Fortunately, Liam eventually lent a helping hand.However, the rest of the Hill family was not pleased with Lucy's actions. Lucy initially planned to explain everything to Julian after he regained consciousness.The Hill family members unexpectedly gathered. Hearing the voices behind her, everyone turned around to see her."Lucy..."Lucy's father, Ethan Hill, seemed hesitant as if he wanted to say something. However, before Ethan could speak, the voice of Lucy's uncle, Travis Hill
"Grandpa's condition isn't as simple as you think!" Lucy exclaimed.Upon hearing Ethan's words, Lucy grew anxious. If it were a regular treatment, Lucy would not have objected. In fact, she would have been delighted. However, his condition was far more complex.Julian's condition was not at all like what Ethan and the others imagined. If Lucy recalled correctly, Liam had indicated that the life-threatening factor for Julian was poisoning. Although the toxins had been purged, allowing an uninformed doctor to intervene recklessly would only escalate the danger.Travis scoffed. "Not simple? Indeed, it isn't. Doctor Nashman has just assessed, and now the old man's condition seems stable. I believe it was this young lad you brought in who delayed Grandpa's treatment, causing him to go into a coma!"Lucy's face flushed with anger. "You all knew how critical Grandpa's condition was then! If it weren't for Grandmaster Burrey's skill, how could Grandpa have recovered as he has?"Travis s
From the very beginning, he had been well aware. As soon as Harris received his call, he must have already known the reason behind it. However, since Harris never brought it up, Liam also chose not to ask. But now, after finishing their meal, it was time. Hearing Liam's words, Harris hesitated for a moment. It was obvious—he knew the details all too well. In fact, he had even taken steps to delay Liam from learning the truth. But now, there was no way to stall any longer. "Grandmaster Burrey, regarding your mother… we've found some clues." He lifted his head to look at Liam, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face. "Hmm…" Liam nodded lightly and calmly said, "Go ahead." "I…" Hearing this, Harris's expression grew conflicted as he spoke. "Although our investigation isn't entirely conclusive yet…" "But…" He paused for a moment before looking up at Liam. "Grandmaster Burrey, our advice is that you'd best not pursue this matter any further." "
Harris’s home in the capital was located near Sky Harmoney Villa! And the Brabus off-road vehicle in front of them was worth more than 15 million. The Juneau license plate on it was even more extraordinary! It seemed that Harris’s situation wasn’t as simple as he had initially thought—he was not just moderately wealthy. However, Harris did not say much about it. After opening the car door for Liam, he warmly invited him inside. "Grandmaster Burrey, when did you arrive in the capital? Why didn’t you tell me in advance?" Then, Harris got into the car as well. As he started the engine, he glanced at Liam with a smile. "If you had told me earlier, I could have come to pick you up!" "I had some personal matters to handle first," Liam replied, shaking his head slightly. "I see…" Hearing this, Harris paused for a moment. He turned his head and looked around before asking curiously, "Grandmaster Burrey, are your personal matters related to Sky Harmoney Villa?" "Ye
"Sigh..." Being inexplicably refused a ride, Liam could only shake his head helplessly. Since he could not get a cab, he decided to let it go. Without hesitation, he took out his phone and made a call. Right now, Liam was contacting Harris, the father of Wendy. Back when he visited Wendy's home again, he learned that Harris and Susan had not returned to the province capital. At that time, Liam asked Wendy for Harris's contact information. When he first arrived in Juneau, Liam had already intended to reach out to Harris, but he had been delayed by matters related to his revenge. Now that everything had been settled, he was finally ready to talk to Harris. After all, he was already in Juneau. And this place... could very well be where his mother was. Liam was desperate to know if Harris had made any progress in his investigation. The call connected quickly. Upon learning that Liam had arrived in Juneau, Harris was visibly shocked. He hadn't expected Liam
At this moment, Liam had already left and was unaware of everything happening inside the Nosh family's old mansion. But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. After all, he understood that everyone has their own choices, and they must bear the consequences, whether good or bad. As Liam stepped out of the Sky Harmoney Villa and reached the roadside, he was about to hail a cab when he ran into the same taxi driver who had dropped them off earlier. "You… you went inside?" The taxi driver stared at Liam with wide eyes. The road Liam had come from led straight to Sky Harmoney Villa. If one couldn't enter, there was no way they could come out from that direction. "Yeah." Seeing the driver, Liam was momentarily surprised, but he quickly nodded in response. "How… how did you get in?" The driver fixed his gaze on Liam, utterly shocked! When he had dropped off Liam and Dianne earlier, he had been curious about why they had come to Sky Harmoney Villa. Afte
"The Nosh family..."Hearing Dianne's words, Liam was momentarily stunned, a trace of astonishment flashing across his face.Only now did he fully understand what had just happened at the Nosh family's old residence.However, this matter did not trouble Liam much."Arkem once destroyed your family. Now he's paying for it with the entire Nosh family—I'd say that's a fair trade!"A smile appeared on his face. "You'll need to handle the aftermath of the Nosh family carefully."Liam did not care about what Dianne said, about the Nosh family becoming his subordinates. In fact, he had not given it a second thought.For Liam, coming to Juneau had only ever been about revenge.Now that his vengeance was complete, the Nosh family meant nothing to him.But this was something he chose not to tell Dianne.He felt that, after experiencing such a drastic change in her life, Dianne needed something to focus on. Otherwise, even though she had avenged her family, she could still fall into des
"I..."Seeing the scene before her, Dianne froze for a moment, a hint of dazed confusion flashing through her eyes.Instinctively, she got up with ease.Compared to before, her body now was filled with strength!In fact, Dianne could still vaguely feel that the warm energy from earlier was continuously improving her body!Her body trembled slightly as she lifted her head to look at Liam.Ahead, Liam's figure seemed to be shrouded in a dense mist, exuding an air of deep mystery!Let alone his earth-shattering strength, just his godlike medical skills alone were beyond what any ordinary person could possess!But she only spaced out for a moment before quickly regaining her composure.Because for her, no matter who Liam truly was, her original thoughts and vows would never waver!Without hesitation, she hurriedly took steps forward, chasing after Liam's retreating figure.As for the rest of the Nosh family, Dianne paid them no mind. There would be plenty of time later to deal w
A thousand thoughts raced through Dianne's mind, but what she needed to do most right now was to get up.However, after several attempts, she still couldn't properly control her body."L-Liam…"Left with no other choice, she lifted her head and looked at Liam."Hm?"Hearing her voice from behind, Liam turned his head.The moment he saw Dianne's condition, he immediately understood what was going on.Liam took a step forward and walked back to her side."I… I can't stand up…"Seeing him approach, Dianne's face flashed with a hint of distress. She spoke with slight embarrassment.Once again, she felt like she was dragging him down."It's fine."Liam shook his head lightly, unfazed, and calmly said, "You overexerted yourself just now and injured your foundation.""Will… will this affect my body?"Hearing that, Dianne's body trembled slightly. She quickly lifted her head, her voice filled with worry.She had never felt this way before—her body felt completely foreign, as if i
Hearing the words beside her, Bluebird turned her head and glanced at Dianne.As a fellow woman, she understood Dianne's thoughts perfectly.At the same time, having witnessed everything that had just transpired, Bluebird was even more aware of the determination Dianne had displayed in making these decisions.However, Bluebird did not care about what Dianne had done, nor would she mention a single word of it to Liam.A shadow does not speak.With that, Bluebird's figure flickered and vanished from the Nosh family's old residence.Moments later—Liam's tall, imposing figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the Nosh family's old residence. He took a step forward and reentered the manor.But before Liam could say anything, his gaze fell upon Dianne, who was slumped on the ground, clearly exhausted. He could not help but pause for a moment.Puzzled, Liam looked to the side.He had no idea what had happened to leave Dianne in such a drained state.But when his eyes fell upon the
At this moment, no one dared to oppose Dianne anymore!"Huh?"Hearing the voice from ahead, Dianne was momentarily stunned, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.For a brief moment, she couldn't quite process what was happening.But when she saw the Nosh family members kneeling on the ground before her, she finally snapped back to reality. A complex expression flickered across her face.Dianne had never imagined that one day, the once-powerful Nosh family of Juneau would be bowing before her, trembling and begging for mercy!"From now on, you are the head of the Nosh family."With that, Dianne casually tossed the bloodstained longsword in her hand to the ground in front of Owen.The reason for choosing Owen as the new head of the Nosh family was simple.Not only was he the first to plead for mercy, but at this moment, he was also the highest-ranking surviving member of the Nosh family.Clang—Hearing the sword clatter onto the ground before him, Owen's body trembled viole
