Semua Bab My Invincible Husband Has Returned: Bab 1481 - Bab 1490

It was not until Grant witnessed Liam in action that finally realized just how wrong he was—clearly, judging from the lack of effort in his strikes, Liam had not utilized his full potential. As Grant himself was a War King, the only explanation for his defeat was that Liam's power far surpassed that of a War King!The thought of this made the color drain from Grant's face. It turned out Darion had been right to warn him; times were different now, and things had changed drastically since the last time he reigned. During his peak, Grant had been one of the most powerful martial artists in the region, which was why he had managed to amass a group of loyal followers. He never paused to think that someone better and younger would come along eventually!Grant knew full well that he was no match for Liam at all. He did not say anything but merely wiped the blood from his mouth and got up slowly. Then, with one last reproachful glance at the whimpering Kaison on the ground, he turned and

Liam, however, took no notice of his threats and merely stared at him, sneering. "Mr. Nasso, you're far more gullible than I thought. The audacity to threaten me when your fate lies in my hands!"Instead, he took the steel bar out of Darion's hands and propped the end of it against Kaison's chin so that he tilted his face up to meet his eyes. There were still streaks of blood stained on the bar, making it look somewhat frightening. "Mr. Nasso, I do not have the patience to bargain with you here. Since you are not willing to put a price on your own life, you shall have to abide by my terms. If you agree with them, just nod, and if you do not… I'm afraid you'll be spending the night out here on the streets."The coldness of the metal against his skin made Kaison shudder, and his fear was further exemplified by Liam's words. "What… What are you talking about? What price? Li—Liam, I'm warning you… You don't know who you're messing with…"Kaison was both outraged and terrified at the sam

Upon hearing this, Liam removed the bar from its original position against Kaison's arm, then patted him with an air of roguish playfulness. "Very good! You're just as generous as I thought! It's no wonder you've made such a name for yourself as a businessman! Well, that settles the arm, doesn't it? What do we say about this?"With that, he turned his gaze towards Kaison's groin, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Let's not beat around the bush, shall we? One and a half million! What do you think, Mr. Nasso?"Kaison was too stunned for words and stared transfixed at Liam for a few moments before whimpering, "What? One and a half million? Why the sudden leap? That's… That's too much… Can we agree on something lower?""Too much?" Liam cut him off with a rather wistful look. "I don't think one and a half million dollars is a lot to you, Mr. Nasso. After all, your entire family lineage relies on this moment. Surely you don't think one and a half million dollars is too much to pay for carr

Jonathan had been working when his assistant burst into his office, looking panicked as he relayed the information about a mysterious new fund deposit in the company account. Jonathan's first thought went to Liam, so he called him immediately. Liam smiled at the apprehension in Jonathan's voice, then explained, "Don't worry, Mr. Nevens. It was from me. I know the company needs the funds, so I transferred it to you. Use it wisely, and let me know if you need any further assistance. I'm always happy to help."Jonathan was relieved to hear this and knew better than to ask questions. The two of them exchanged some words, then hung up.It was already very late by the time Liam arrived home. Jovie was watching cartoons on the couch by herself, and when she heard Liam arriving, she flung her stuffed toy aside to sprint to him. Leaping right into his arms, she snuggled up against the nape of his neck and said, "Why are you home so late, Daddy? I missed you so much…"Liam put one arm aro

Then, by some strange surge of courage, she lifted herself up on tiptoes and kissed Liam on the lips.The kiss was as light as a feather and lasted barely a second. She quickly disentangled herself from Liam, blushing, then leaped into bed and drew the covers over herself. Then, she muttered from underneath the duvet, "You can leave now. I'm going to sleep."Liam did not expect Celena to kiss him out of the blue, much less on the lips. He was so stunned that he could not utter a word. Even though Celena had left, he could still smell the lingering scent of her perfume. Celena's voice seemed to break the spell that had been placed over him, for he finally snapped out of his stupor and said, grinning stupidly as he touched his lips, "Alright. Good night, my love…"Then, he left the room, beaming from ear to ear, and closed the door behind him. Even after he had left the room, he stood outside the door, his fingertips still grazing the place where Celena's lips had touched his.
