Liam gently dabbed at Celena's hair, murmuring softly there and then. They were deep in conversation, oblivious to the world around them. Across the room, Silvia lounged on the couch, eyeing the cozy scene with a mix of annoyance and envy. "Really, guys? A little consideration, please? I'm right here, and you're all lovey-dovey. Spare a thought for the single person in the room!"Celena, far from her once timid self and with no reason to be shy around her cousin, shot back playfully, "Oh, what's the matter? Jealous? Maybe it's time you found yourself a boyfriend, then you can be all lovey-dovey too. I won't tease you, I swear!" She chuckled, giving Silvia a knowing look. "You're not getting any younger. I bet there's a line of suitors at school. When are you going to bring someone home to meet us?"Silvia's mouth twisted in a pout. "Boyfriend? No thanks. Men are nothing but trouble, all talk and no show!" Celena's teasing brought Wilton to mind, and Silvia's irritation flared. Sh

Liam was a storm of fury. His brow furrowed as he glared at the attackers outside the villa, his eyes burning with unbridled anger.Those intruders had boldly sneaked into the villa, unleashing a barrage of gunfire!If he had not returned tonight, Celena and Silvia would have been in serious trouble.Everyone has their breaking point, and for Liam, it was Celena.Anyone who threatened Celena would face his wrath, and he would make sure they paid dearly.However, first things first, he needed to take out the goons outside the window.Taking a deep breath, Liam quickly came up with a plan. He glanced outside, then shot Celena a look, signaling her to keep silent.Reaching behind him out of habit, his hand found nothing but air.That was when he realized he had left his clothes and his unique dagger in the bathroom after his shower.Standing there in just his boxers, Liam knew he would have to wait for another chance to strike.In the still of the night, Liam, Celena, and Silvia

"Still, I'd advise caution. Your wife and child are in our grasp. If you refuse to play along, don't blame us if things get messy."Liam's expression hardened, his voice icy as he addressed the leader, "Did Ayden send you? What's your endgame?"The head of the black-clad figures had not expected Liam to hit the nail on the head with his guess, but they shrugged it off with a sneer. "Impressive, Commander-in-chief of Pendragon, you've figured it out. However, if you knew all along, why play dumb?"Liam's voice was icy, demanding, "What do you want?"The three men erupted into mocking laughter, their gazes lethal as they fixed on Liam.The ringleader huffed, eyeing Liam before turning to Celena, "Isn't it obvious to you, King Pendragon? We're here for your life. You've only got yourself to blame for crossing Mr. Gray!"Without another word, he pointed his gun at Liam and pulled the trigger.Bang, bang, bang!The shots rang out, startling Celena into a terrified scream, "Ah! Watch

Calum's head snapped up, his face etched with guilt. "Sir, I'm to blame for today's mess. I should be punished as well."Liam sighed and waved a dismissive hand. "Calum. It's not all on you. I let my guard down, thinking my presence in Drunham City would keep the wolves at bay. They shouldn't have been able to get near the villa."We've got a security leak to plug. I'm putting you in charge of that, so don't beat yourself up over it.""Understood, sir!" Calum saluted, his mind racing to Celena's injury. "And Mrs. Cole? How's her arm?""She'll be fine. The bullet missed the vitals. She's patched up and just needs some downtime," Liam assured him.Calum's tension eased. His eyes drifted to the submachine guns strewn across the coffee table—remnants of a battlefield. "What's our next move, sir?"Liam's stare hardened on the weapons, a storm brewing in his gaze. "Ayden's made his play, thinking he can waltz right into my territory uninvited."A surge of anger rippled across Liam's f

"I can't believe we can't take down a little guy like Liam with all the muscle we've got. Why are you losing it over this?"Rex was boiling inside, glaring at Kairos as he spoke.Kairos kicked him again, hard, his voice thick with scorn. "Idiot! You have no clue, do you? Liam isn't some average Joe. He's the top dog in the war zone, the guy who stormed into an army of hundreds of thousands and lopped off the heads of their generals!"Do you really think it's that easy? Forget his power for a second. Do you have any idea what his standing is in Biskeland? Do you even know that killing a commander there is punishable by death?"By being so careless, you might have tipped off the Commander-in-chief of Pendragon. If he figures out our general is behind this, and it messes up the plan, you're a dead man!"At that, Rex got the picture of who he was messing with. His cockiness fizzled out on the spot. He covered his face, hung his head, and mumbled, "I got it; I was wrong."However, is
