It took just a few seconds of getting saved for the Stones to revert to their old habits. Sherah's entire face lit up when she clocked the luxurious cars parked behind Celena. A devious idea popped into her head, and she quickly set it into motion by saying, "Celena, you know full well that this was all your fault. We were innocent, and yet we almost died because of you. Oh, the horrors we've been through!"Celena was incredibly upset to hear this, not because Sherah told her off, but because she felt guilty at the Stones' involvement. She was already estranged from the Stones, and yet their lives had been put in mortal peril because of her. She quickly apologized, smiling, "I'm sorry. This was indeed our fault, and I give you my sincerest apologies. Yet you can't deny that Liam saved you in the end…""Is this all it will take for us to forgive you? We almost died! You think a simple 'sorry' will smooth things over?" Sherah snapped, scoffing. Even as she spoke, her eyes were prac

The man in the lead glowered at Liam and waved his bat threateningly as he snarled, "Name yourself, you fool! No one has ever messed with my boss and walked out of this place alive! Name yourself, and I shall grant you a quick death!"Liam replied coldly, "My name is Liam Cole!"Realization dawned on everything, and immediately, they cast him looks of deepest contempt. Everyone in Drunham City knew about him, for the news of the beautiful Celena Stone's marriage to the degenerate heir of the Cole family had taken the city by storm. Ever since his family's demise, Liam had joined the military, and even after his retirement, for some bizarre reason, he had caught Celena's eye and subsequently married into the Stone family. For all they knew, he was utterly useless and leeched off the Stone's wealth all day!Someone amongst the crowd burst into laughter and said, his voice thick with disdain, "Goodness! I was looking forward to meeting this courageous fool, but he's just a degenerate

It was Joseph, marching in perfect synchrony with the rest of the soldiers. He was dragging Samson's corpse behind him, and when he reached Fletcher, he tossed the corpse right at his feet.A dull thud as the corpse landed on the ground, along with the squelch of flesh as it landed in a pool of blood. The entire room was pin-drop silent. Everyone stared in horror at the scene before them. What was going on here? Liam was just a degenerate! Where did he even get so many soldiers? Who was the general that had arrived with them? Why was he obeying Liam's every command? Was Liam his superior? Everyone could not help but begin to speculate Liam's true identity. The color had drained from Fletcher's face. He stared, appalled, at the corpse by his feet. There was no doubt about it—it was Samson, dead as a doornail!It was also clear why Liam had done this—to deliver one of his subordinate's bodies right to his doorstep was, no doubt, an act of defiance and intimidation!What would

As Josiah said this, he even pressed the gun threateningly against Joseph's temple. "I don't care who you are. I am ordering you to get out of here. Skedaddle! No one is allowed to do anything on my territory without my permission. That's an order!"Although Joseph was technically Liam's subordinate, he was still a very high-ranking military official—a general, to be specific. Everyone treated him with respect, and no one had ever dared to speak to him this way at all, much less point a gun at his head. Joseph stared coldly at Josiah and said, "Are you a cop? You're from the headquarters? Does your boss Mr. Mosier know about this? Do you know that you're openly defying his orders?"Whilst Liam raided the nightclub, one of the passersby had called the police. Joseph, after receiving the call, thought that it was Nevaeh stirring up trouble, so he rushed over from the headquarters to give her a piece of his mind. When he arrived, he was surprised to discover that it was not Nevaeh aft

To his horror, Howard did not so much as spare him a glance. Instead, he circled past Josiah and approached Liam directly. He bowed and said, "Mr. Cole, I'm so sorry it took me so long. I have already sealed off most of Fletcher's properties as you instructed, and the only one left is this nightclub!"We also made a very interesting discovery—we found a stock of illicit drugs in his property, amounting to over five hundred kilos in total!"Everyone gasped upon hearing this. In Biskeland, the penalty for 10 grams of illicit drugs was 10 years jail time, 20 years for 50 grams, and anything more than 500 grams was punishable by death!Five hundred kilograms was an astronomical number, far beyond their imagination!Josiah could hardly believe his eyes. He lowered his head, ashen-faced. This was it! Everything was over now! He was doomed!He foolishly thought that he was merely dealing with a degenerate, an attention-seeking wannabe. It turned out he had severely underestimated his o
