"Mister Nagel…"Upon hearing Fahad's words, the security guard at the front turned around with a frightened expression, about to say something.However, before the guard could speak, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out from behind!A middle-aged man with a refined demeanor and a kind face, accompanied by several staff members, was rushing toward the crowd."Mister Herrington!"Seeing the man appear, Fahad immediately stood up straight. Angrily, he pointed at the nearby security guards and began complaining, "The security at our bank is really poor. They've let someone come here and bully our staff, and they're just standing there like fools!"This refined and kind man was none other than the newly appointed president of South City Bank, Jim Herrington.Unlike the previous president, Kris, Jim had a very good temper and got along well with most of the staff. Otherwise, Fahad wouldn't have dared to speak so rudely and complain so directly."It's this scoundrel, he cam
At the same time, the onlookers were filled with utter confusion!They were well aware of the status and influence the president of the South City Bank held in the city.Yet, such an unreachable figure was standing nervously and respectfully before this handsome young man.He even struck an employee under his command just because the staff member spoke disrespectfully toward the young man ahead!Even Liam was momentarily stunned as he observed the scene before him."You know me?"He looked at Jim, a trace of confusion flashing across his face."The foundation informed me about today's arrangements," Jim said, his expression instantly tense. "But I truly didn't expect that you would personally come..."Jim was previously informed about the share transfer arrangement involving the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation.He had made extensive preparations, knowing that from now on, South City Bank would be under the foundation's umbrella.However, when Jim followed up with the found
The young man who had just been mocked and belittled by him… Was he actually the new owner of South City Bank?And himself? He had been so blind and foolish, recklessly provoking and humiliating him!As he thought about this, Fahad's body trembled violently again.The behavior of Hailey and the others had truly landed him in trouble!He gritted his teeth, a flash of resentment crossing his face. But now was not the time to dwell on that."Grandmaster Burrey... Mister Herrington..."Fahad turned his head, forcing a smile uglier than crying. "I... I must have been out of my mind, unable to see who I was dealing with!"It's all a misunderstanding. I hope Grandmaster Burrey won't take it personally..."Following Jim's lead, Fahad stammered nervously. At this moment, there was no trace of his earlier arrogance or brazenness."Shut up!"But before he could finish, Jim interrupted him harshly.Jim glared at Fahad and growled, "Do you think you're qualified to address him like that?
"What's wrong?"Hearing the startled cry from Jim, Liam turned his head and asked."N-Nothing..."Jim's body trembled as he waved his hands repeatedly, his face pale with fear. "Grandmaster Burrey, I just had a slight leg cramp earlier. It's nothing…"He was terrified that Liam might realize what he was thinking."Take care of your health."However, Liam did not pay it much mind. He glanced at Jim and reminded him casually."I understand! Thank you for your concern, Grandmaster Burrey!"Jim swallowed nervously and nodded repeatedly."By the way, there's something else."At that moment, Liam seemed to recall something."Grandmaster Burrey, please go ahead!"Jim immediately stood upright, looking at Liam with a solemn expression."It's about Fahad…"Liam narrowed his eyes slightly as he began to speak."Don't worry, Grandmaster Burrey!" Jim responded earnestly, "Forget just South City Bank—going forward, no financial institution associated with South City will hire him!"
However, all of a sudden, Liam seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head to look at Jim and asked, "If we proceed like this, does South City Bank bear any responsibility?"Seeing the situation in front of him, Jim suddenly reacted.Those three clients who came to South City Bank to handle large-denomination certificates of deposit might have had some conflict with Grandmaster Burrey.He could not figure out what kind of task would dare provoke Grandmaster Burrey.However, now was not the time to dwell on that."What responsibility could we possibly have!" Jim raised his head and responded, "That contract was privately signed between them and Fahad. It has nothing to do with South City Bank."Giving them a reminder is already South City Bank being conscientious and responsible!"At this point, he pursed his lips, full of disdain for the three people handling the business."Those three who signed the contract are fools. Who would dare sign a deal at that interest r
"Is that so?"Upon hearing this, Liam narrowed his eyes slightly.Initially, when Serena mentioned the background of Union Finance's connections in Juneau, Liam did not pay much attention to it.But now, it seemed that things weren't as simple as he had thought.The forces behind Union Finance appeared far from ordinary!"Yes, Grandmaster Burrey."Hearing this, Jim nodded earnestly. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again with caution, "It's said that the forces backing Union Finance are rather ruthless.We'd better be careful..."A hint of worry flashed across his face."I see." Liam squinted his eyes and nodded lightly. "Understood."Seeing that Grandmaster Burrey had taken his words to heart, Jim smiled with relief.To think that such a powerful figure, who could turn the tides single-handedly, was still willing to listen to his advice.This only deepened Jim's respect for Liam!"Alright, if there's nothing else, get back to work."Liam then stood up, ready to lea
"Sir… this matter… it's entirely my responsibility!"Yaksha stammered in terror, "But it mainly happened too suddenly. We never expected the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation would make a sudden move against us."Before this, there wasn't any conflict between us…"His voice trembled as he spoke, and he appeared utterly frightened."No conflict?" Hearing this, the elder's gaze turned colder. "Whether there was a conflict or not, Union Finance shouldn't have been left without the ability to fight back!"But that Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation is truly seeking death!"As he spoke, he lifted his head, a sinister gleam flashing in his eyes. "A mere foundation, relying on luck to create some herbal medicine, and they think they've become somebody?""To dare challenge the Nosh family!"The elder's voice was laced with murderous intent.Despite his dissatisfaction with Yaksha, he also understood that this situation had largely been caused by the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation
"We've recently taken an interest in the medicinal herb Bellflower held by the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation," the elder said with a sinister smile."Thank you, Sir! Thank you, Sir!"Hearing the elder's willingness to avenge Godfrey, Yaksha's face lit up with ecstatic relief. Kneeling on the ground, he repeatedly expressed his gratitude.In truth, this time, Yaksha brought Godfrey's corpse to Juneau not just to plead for forgiveness.The main reason was to convince the Nosh family in Juneau to avenge Godfrey!The pain of losing his son had driven Yaksha to the brink of madness.However, just then, the elder's emotionless voice resounded again."You don't need to worry about Godfrey's matter. I will handle it."He looked at Yaksha impassively. "As for your mistakes this time, though caused by your grief over your son's death, you failed to safeguard the family's assets. You may avoid the death penalty, but punishment is inevitable!""You mentioned earlier that you are will
"So, Miss Lloyd, you mean to ask me to get someone out of the military for you?"Hearing Serena's words, Kenton was stunned for a moment."Mister Welford, what's wrong?"Serena's voice suddenly became flustered. "Is it a bit difficult?""From what you're saying, the unit that took the person should belong to the Central Military Region, which is different from our Western Military Region."Kenton hesitated. "Crossing war zones is indeed a bit troublesome…""Mister Welford, you must help me!"Upon hearing this, Serena grew even more anxious. "We can pay, as long as you can rescue him…"However, before she could finish, Kenton's voice interrupted."But how could I refuse a beauty's request!" Kenton chuckled heartily. "Don't worry, even if it's difficult, I can handle it. Coincidentally, I'm in South City lately. Even the commander of the Central Military Region has to give me some face!""Just give me the details about your friend and wait for my news."His voice was full of co
"Then give it a try."Sam chuckled and agreed, "I just didn't expect that one day, our Lloyd Group would choose to save that worthless Liam!""Alright."Hearing the voices around her, Hailey also nodded in agreement.However, soon, she seemed to recall something, turned to look at Serena, and asked, "But do we really have the ability to get someone out of the military's hands?""Yes."Hearing this, Serena gritted her teeth, her eyes flashing with determination."If you might have a way, then go ahead and try."Seeing this, Hailey said no more and waved her hand."I just hope we don't go through all this trouble, only for that ungrateful Liam to turn his back on us!""Mom, don't worry, that won't happen!"Serena shook her head.Immediately, she turned around and quickly left the Lloyd family mansion.Not long after, Serena returned to her office at Lloyd Group.She hurriedly made her way to her desk and started searching through a pile of documents.When she finally spott
"I…" Seeing this scene, Serena's body froze abruptly, trembling slightly out of anxiety.She desperately wanted to understand the situation immediately and help Liam.However, the situation in front of her made it clear that rushing off alone to save Liam was definitely not an option!"Phew…"Serena took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.Was there any way to convince the members of the Lloyd family to help Liam?The next moment, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of something."Mom, it's not that I care about Liam, but if we want to collaborate with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation on the White Glycoside Cream project, Liam cannot be in trouble!"Serena raised her head and looked at Hailey."What does our Lloyd Group's collaboration with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation have to do with that useless Liam?"Hailey frowned deeply."Mom! Think about Liam's relationship with Lucy, and you'll understand!"Serena hurriedly replied, "When you were discu
"We really don't know."Sam shook his head, but soon, a disdainful sneer appeared on his face. "But that useless Liam struts around deceiving people all day long. Maybe that's why he got into trouble with the military!""That's actually possible!" Hailey's face flashed with realization and mockery. "Looks like he's finally getting what he deserves!""Exactly!""The military isn't like us—they won't tolerate that useless Liam."Charice, standing in the back, let out a cold laugh. "Just seeing him boast and spew nonsense all day, it was obvious he'd end up like this sooner or later!""Hahaha!""Right, he's just getting what he asked for!""Serves him right for showing off in front of us all the time—he's practically asking for it!"…Inside the Lloyd family mansion, a series of schadenfreude-laden laughs echoed. Everyone from the Lloyd family started mocking Liam one after another.Among them, Etchen's voice was the most grating!However, just as the Lloyd family members were
Hailey froze for a moment, then immediately frowned. Biting her teeth in frustration, she snapped, "What the hell is going on with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation?" "A project this big, with such high profits, and they didn't even inform us? We didn't even know about the launch of the White Glycoside Cream!"And now, they won't even let us in? The Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation has gone too far!" Hailey was seething with resentment. "They really have overstepped!" Standing beside her, Sam also wore a dark expression. Other members of the Lloyd family started cursing as well. None of them had expected the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation to treat the Lloyd Group this way! However… In contrast to the growing anger around her, Serena remained calm, standing silently at the back. She didn't think there was anything wrong with the way the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation had handled things. She had discussed this matter with the Lloyd family mem
However, Charice and Sam had barely stepped into the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building for five minutes before they were sent out in disgrace. Just like the previous attempts, they failed once again. This time, they didn't even get past the lobby—before, at least, they could meet with someone in charge. "What's going on? Before, we could at least talk to the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's representatives, but this time, we didn't even get to see anyone!" Sam's face was filled with frustration. "If we can't get in, it means the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation really doesn't want to work with us…" Charice sighed. "But if they don't want to cooperate with the Lloyd Corporation, shouldn't they at least give us a reason?" Before Charice could finish speaking, Sam cut in, his voice laced with anger. "We used to have such a good working relationship with the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, but now we don't even know about the launch of the White Gly
"That useless trash, what did he do this time?" Sam turned his head toward Charice, his voice dry and hoarse. "Who… who knows…" Charice shook her head, her expression stiff. "Could it really be that he caused some huge trouble, which is why such a big scene happened?" Just based on that scene earlier—forget about escorting Liam. It was enough to wage a small-scale battle! Without hesitation, they quickly picked up their pace and hurried forward. "The man at the entrance just now, the one taken away in the military vehicle—do you know what happened?" Charice stopped a staff member of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation, who had also been hiding to the side in shock, and hurriedly asked. They wanted to understand exactly what had happened! Why had so many soldiers chosen to take Liam away right in front of the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation building? However, the staff member they questioned was just a low-level employee of the foundation. Forget t
"Grandmaster Burrey!" Jerry hurried over to Liam, came to a halt, and saluted respectfully before quickly explaining, "There was an unexpected situation just now, and Commander Warren had to handle it, so he couldn't come to pick you up!" "I hope you understand!" As he spoke, he was clearly worried about displeasing Liam. "It's fine." Hearing this, Liam gently shook his head. He never really cared about such matters. However, when he saw the grand convoy behind him, he couldn't help but sigh again. "Didn't I tell Gabriel before to avoid all this unnecessary fuss?" Every time Gabriel came to see him, the scene he created always gave Liam a headache. "Grandmaster Burrey…" Hearing Liam's words, Jerry froze momentarily before cautiously raising his head to look at him. "Commander Warren specifically instructed us that the most important thing is to ensure your safety…" "Alright then…" Liam sighed helplessly. He could tell that Gabriel meant well, but thi
For him, revealing his identity was never a concern. Liam had never deliberately concealed who he was. He simply did not want unnecessary trouble. "Alright." Hearing Liam's response, Lucy gently nodded. "I just hope that through our efforts, we can gradually change the perception of traditional Hestian medicine among the people of Hestia." Liam lifted his gaze toward the pharmaceutical factory operating in the distance, a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes. This was what he had always wanted to accomplish! "Grandmaster Burrey, don't worry. It will happen!" Standing behind Liam, Lucy looked as picturesque as a painting. Her delicate face was adorned with a radiant smile. She had never doubted Liam. The Next Day After wrapping up their affairs, Liam and Lucy returned to South City together. Liam had not asked Lucy to accompany him, but she mentioned that she had other matters to handle at the Verdant Harvest Charity Foundation's South City branch.
