How could someone like him possibly command such power?Even Nash and Cirold, who had met their fair share of legendary fighters and warriors of their time, were equally stunned by this. Who would have thought that they would one day feel such power in the hands of a young man?Nash could not help but question the information he had been told about Liam's background. Could Liam be so much more powerful than what his background check came up with? Could he be hiding other things?Cirold was just as baffled. He could not help but wonder if everything they knew about this man had been wrong, and they had severely underestimated their opponent!The two of them exchanged dubious glances. Leah was so intimidated by Liam's display of rage that she clamped her mouth shut, terrified. Liam shot her a look so cold that she froze, mid-sentence, and her next words spilled out in a panicked stammer, "Wh…wha…what are you trying to do? I'm warning you, Liam, that you're standing right in my terr
The rest of the Carsons had the exact same thought as Leah. After all, they were the wealthiest and most influential family in Dernburg City, so they did not need a reason to do anything they wanted. To them, it did not matter what intentions Trent had, but all that mattered was that he was now dead, and it was Liam's doing. The thought of her husband and children's murderer standing just a few feet away from her sent anger coursing through her veins, and she could not hold her fury in any longer. She stared up at Liam, her bloodshot eyes crazed with hatred, and screamed, "Liam Cole! I don't care what you say—I'm going to make you and your entire family pay for your sins! I'm going to spill your blood over my family's graves!"Liam, however, was unfazed by this. He shook his head and replied, "Is that so? Do you even know who I am? Do you think you can lay any hands on me without repercussions?"Leah burst into a manic cackle, clearly amused by Liam's statement. Her contempt was ev
"I'd like to see what a good-for-nothing weakling who relies only on his wife's family to survive is capable of doing! Slaughter the Carson clan, eh? I'd like to see you try!"Even Cirold was beside himself with rage to hear this. How dare someone like Liam threaten to slaughter them? Who did he think he was?Cirold glared at Liam and snarled, "I've never heard anything more arrogant in my life, Liam Cole! Do you think we're scared of you? We're not even scared of the entire Stone family combined, so why do you think we'd be intimidated by you? In fact, we can squish you as easily as killing an ant!"The rest of the Carsons all snapped out of their stupor and were immediately overcome by their indignation. They cast Liam looks of disdain, clearly outraged by his pompous demeanor. "Who do you think you are? Do you think you can wipe out the entire Carson clan by yourself? In your dreams!""Do you have any idea how powerful we are? What a joke. Even the legendary Black Dragon comma
Liam, Joseph, and Albert came out of Carson Mansion and stepped into the car that had been waiting for them outside the gates. Liam stared at the gates of the looming mansion in silence, his vengeance churning beneath his gaze as his aura crackled maliciously. Joseph slid into the front passenger seat and followed Liam's gaze. He then asked, "Sir, what should we do next?"Liam did not reply and instead continued to stare at the gates of Carson Mansion in vengeful silence. Joseph continued, "Sir, why do you need to go to so much trouble for people as insignificant as the Carsons? You could've sent the Stormwing Riders instead, and they would've squashed them in an instant."Albert, who was sitting at the wheel, also piped up, "Joseph's right, sir. Although the Carsons deserve to be punished, I don't think you should've gone to so much trouble for them. That Nash Carson, though! I can't believe he used to be an army general. No respectable soldier would allow his descendants to com
This news soon took the entire Dernburg state by storm. Within minutes of receiving this mysterious message, all of these businesses summoned their employees to emergency meetings to discuss their plan of action. Everyone knew that without a doubt, the Carsons had gotten themselves in trouble, and someone was out to get them. The news spread through the grapevine, and soon, even the underground mafia caught wind of this and began to debate the validity of this declaration. It did not take long for the citizens to overhear, and everyone began to wonder if this would be the downfall of the legendary Carson family. Some of the businesses and enterprises believed that whoever was behind this attack should be trusted, on the basis that only someone influential would be able to pass on this message across the entire state so swiftly. Therefore, they should not risk offending such a powerful force to defend the Carsons.Therefore, they chose to cut ties with the Carsons without hesitat
Nash's expression was solemn, and he nodded in agreement. "You're right, Cirold. Our family has a strong foundation in this city, and it will take more than a cryptic phone call to take us down! This has certainly opened my eyes to the loyalty of those around me!"Cirold replied, "Of course, Father. Our entire family holds the lifeline of the Dernburg City economy on our backs, not to mention Austin and Rocky's positions certainly also add to our power. This person can shake us up all he wants, but he won't even make a dent in us. Have you ever stopped to consider who this mysterious person might be, Father?"Nash immediately blurted out, "Are you trying to say Liam might be the one behind this?"Cirold nodded. "You're right, Father. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? Just a few hours ago, he showed up at our door, giving us an ultimatum, and now out of nowhere, a mysterious caller notified the entire state of our impending downfall and warned them to take action."Nas
Cirold's face lost all its earlier mockery as he spoke of Liam, his features twisting into a complex frown."Dad, even if Liam is a vet from the Pendragon War Zone, he's just a small fry," Cirold said, his brow creased with concern.Nash listened, his brow furrowed in thought. "Are you suggesting that the Pendragon folks are behind our troubles with the Carson family?"However, as quickly as the thought appeared, he dismissed it with a shake of his head. "No way. There's no beef between us and the Pendragon War Zone. Besides, we're under the Wynnstan war zone's umbrella at Dernburg, miles away from Pendragon territory. There's no chance we've stepped on their toes."As they talked, Nash gave the papers in his hand another quick once-over. With each page, his frown deepened until, in a burst of rage, he slammed the papers down on the table. "I can't believe it. That damn Liam, a vet from the Pendragon War Zone... That makes things a lot trickier than we thought. If I'm not wrong, th
The anxiety gnawing at Nash's heart intensified. With a furrowed brow, he reached a decision, spun on his heel, and settled back into his chair. He pulled out his phone and called."Hello, I need to speak with Cirold. This is his father, Nash."At the same time, over at the Oceanic Hotel, Liam stood in his military regalia, his figure draped in a battle robe adorned with a green dragon and gold trim, a silent sentinel before the presidential suite's expansive windows. His gaze swept over the streets below, eyes glinting with an icy resolve.Joseph and Albert, clad in their own dark uniforms, stood by Liam, a fierce chill emanating from them. They watched the streets below, faces alight with anticipation.The streets outside the Oceanic Hotel were teeming with goons brandishing bats and blades.It was not just there; the surrounding blocks were crawling with the same kind of muscle, all converging on the hotel in a menacing tide.Joseph peered down at the unfolding chaos, a spark
