Semua Bab My Invincible Husband Has Returned: Bab 1981 - Bab 1990

This was the least of her worries, though. Celena quickly trotted over to Liam and asked, grabbing his arm nervously, "Liam, are you hurt?"Liam shook his head, then turned to glance coldly at the three limp figures on the floor before him. One was already dead, one was crippled, and the other was about to be.Liam sneered and said curtly, "The Yeagers are as efficient as always. Why didn't they at least let me settle in first?"The two remaining assassins, both of whom were writhing and howling in agony, immediately stopped, clearly at an utter loss of what to say. They seemed surprised that Liam had worked it out so quickly. Their shock lasted only a few moments. Soon, they regained their composure and slowly staggered to their feet. One of them had suffered broken ribs, whereas the other had his entire arm fractured. As a result, neither of them could move freely, and it took them a long time to finally get to their feet, holding onto the wall for support. One of the men look

The other remaining assassin—the one with the broken arm—stared in utter horror as the whole scene played out. He seemed incapable of uttering a response and merely watched with wide eyes as his companion clawed every inch of his own skin off and finally killed himself out of sheer agony.He fell to his knees and screamed, "Sir, this was all a terrible mistake. Please, sir! Please spare me…"Liam stared at him coldly and replied, "I won't kill you, but you shall return to the Yeagers and pass on my message to them. If they do not wish to suffer a tragic fate, they must back off and stop harassing me. I have many more tricks up my sleeve, and certainly not ones they would like to challenge."The assassin nodded fervently. "Yes, sir… I will definitely relay your message, sir!"His voice was trembling with fear, and he gazed at Liam with a look of quiet terror, as if he was staring into the eyes of the demon himself. "Get out of my sight!"With that, the assassin turned and sprinte

Reginald's health had declined greatly over the past few days, and even if he was seated in his chair, one could make out how much weight he had lost. He looked pale and occasionally, he would let out deep, hacking coughs.After a few moments' silence, he turned to his family and said, "I'm sure all of you have seen the news. We were all so excited after finding out that Liam was the legendary King Pendragon in hiding. We were all so determined that this was our one ticket to success, a surefire way to fame and glory as we so rightly deserved…"Reginald had to pause here, for he erupted into another bout of deep, rasping coughs. His entire face flushed red from the effort, and it took him a few minutes to recompose himself. Finally, he felt well enough to continue, "Who would've thought that Liam would end up resigning from his position as commander-in-chief? We were all played for fools! We cannot count on him any longer!"Yafe's eyes were ablaze with cold, merciless fury as he lis

"Do you have anyone particular in mind?"Reginald seemed to agree with Yafe. He glanced around the room at all the expectant faces, unsure of who to pick for the task.Yafe seemed equally perplexed. Truth be told, he was not at all familiar with his nieces and nephews, and if he had to pick, he would certainly advocate his own daughter for the job. Yafe's gaze landed on Cheryl, and he asked, "Cheryl, you've proven yourself to be a remarkable leader and efficient at getting jobs done. Why don't… you give it a try?"Cheryl could feel everyone's eyes on her, and this made her blush. She returned her father a bashful smile and replied, "Dad… To be honest, I'd be all over this job opportunity if it were to involve dealing with someone local, but this is a foreigner we're talking about… I'm not particularly good at speaking their language, and I'm afraid that…"Reginald was just about to reply to this, but Yafe glared at Cheryl and cut her off before she could even finish, "How come yo

This, as expected, made Reginald scowl. He, too, had been painfully reminded of an incident that he would rather not reminisce; the cold, hard fact that although the entire Stone family had attended Celena's wedding in earnest, her attitude toward them was frosty at best. It seemed that she had made up her mind. After some consideration, Reginald finally said, "Yafe, Celena is your daughter, so you should be the one to speak to her. Bring some gifts along with you as well."Yafe grinned at this, took out his phone, and found Celena's number. He replied with a look of scorn, "There's no need for gifts! Just you wait—Celena will certainly come trotting back to us like a homeless puppy once we tell her that her grandfather wants her back."Sherah agreed, nodding, "That's right. She'll certainly change her mind, just you wait. She will never even dream of leaving the Stone family. All it takes is one call, and she'll be back groveling!"The rest of the Stones murmured and nodded in ag
