Despite their protests, Liam disregarded the worries of Zin Anderson and Damian for his safety.He commanded the armed men who had surrounded William to create a clear passage for his escape and to remain stationed in the room until further notice.As soon as William started to move with Ashley held as his hostage, Liam trailed closely behind while pointing his Desert Eagle steadily at William’s head.A blanket of silence enveloped the three of them as they exited the abandoned warehouse and stepped onto the beach outside.“Why did you kidnap Ashley? What’s your ultimate plan?” Amid the tension-filled journey towards William's escape vehicle, Liam suddenly voiced his questions.To avoid detection that he was using his power ‘Eye of Gambit’ to calculate the success rate of hitting William without putting Ashley in danger, he tried to divert William’s attention.However, the results he was getting back were abysmal, to say the least.[Ding!][0.3%][1.2%][1.8%]There was no way Liam wo
“Arghhhhhh!” A prolonged piercing scream of agony echoed across the vicinity along with the sound of Liam's pistol firing.The cry had originated from William Flander as Liam missed his shot by a wide margin, resulting in the bullet hitting him in the lower groin area.“My balls! My balls are gone!” Gripped by excruciating pain in his groin unlike anything he had experienced before, William Flander cast a glance between his legs, only to find that his precious part had been blown off cleanly into smithereens by Liam’s Desert Eagle.With his trembling hand, he reached for his wounded groin to assess his injury. And upon discovering that there was nothing but blood, his anguish expression slowly transformed into one of grief. His life-long dream of having children with Ashley had been completely dashed, and it was Liam who had been the instrument of its destruction!Clenching his teeth in a surge of loathing, he thirsted for vengeance against Liam. However, as he noticed Liam readying
Within an underground training facility nestled beneath a lavish villa situated deep within the mountains of Myanmar, Liam and Zin were seated at a red teak wooden table engaged in a conversation.It had been several days since Liam successfully rescued Ashley Flander.After William fled the abandoned shipyard with tails between his legs, Ashley returned to the abandoned warehouse to seek help with ragged breath.Upon witnessing Ashley's inconsolable wailing, Zin Anderson and Damian rushed to the scene, fearing the worst.Fortunately for Liam, he was successfully resuscitated just in time and avoided slipping into a coma, which could have been caused by the significant blood loss from his injured eyes.However, despite the efforts of renowned doctors who attended to him these past few days, they couldn't restore his lost vision.Liam was permanently blind.“Was it worth it? Trading your vision to save a woman’s life?” Zin Anderson asked with a disappointed expression as he looked at L
“So, are you suggesting that the members of the Walker family have the means to cultivate? If that's the case, why would they select their family head through an internal competition pitting their youths against each other? Wouldn’t it be faster and more logical to determine the winner through combat?” Liam asked with a puzzled look on his face. “Additionally, why is the Walker family so fixated on preserving their status as a wealthy and prestigious family if cultivation is feasible? I assume that if one can cultivate, they wouldn't be preoccupied with material possessions like money.” Liam continued with another question before Zin Anderson could respond."That approach might have worked for cultivation families like the Walker family in the past. However, the world has changed significantly. In the old days, cultivation energy was abundant in the atmosphere, making it relatively easy to cultivate. But in this era, there's hardly any cultivation energy in the air. Those who wish to
Adhering diligently to Zin Anderson's treatment plan, the days passed by swiftly without any major issue.Even though Liam remained blind, after several days of consuming the medicine brewed from the ten-thousand-year-old Ginseng, he began to feel a gradual itchiness in his eyes which was something he was grateful for as it was a sign that the herb was working.Throughout Liam's period of blindness, Ashley had been attending to his daily needs and remained by his side almost constantly without uttering a single complaint.While Liam felt embarrassed about needing Ashley's assistance in his daily life, he chose to accept her help to keep her mind from wandering into unproductive thoughts.Moreover, by keeping Ashley under Zin Anderson's protection, she remained shielded from any further harm.After two weeks of recuperation, the precious Ginseng that had absorbed cultivation energy within was quickly exhausted, and the moment of truth had arrived.In the presence of Damian, Ashley, and
"Liam, Mr. Anderson, and Damian, I'm truly grateful for your assistance in rescuing me. Nevertheless, I can't impose on you guys any longer. This is ultimately an internal power struggle within the Flanders family. I cannot risk exposing you guys to such extreme danger for my sake again. You guys have witnessed the lengths those ruthless individuals would go to in order to snatch the inheritance away from me. This is goodbye, I will be returning to the country immediately to resolve this matter on my own.” With a sincere tone, Ashley solemnly said as she bowed down to express her gratitude towards Liam’s group.With a complicated expression, she gazed at Liam one last time before turning away, making an effort to etch his face into her memory for the final time.“Wait! How are you going to defeat them?” Watching Ashley’s sad figure, Liam couldn’t help but utter. He did not know why but his heart was hurting.“I don’t know. But don’t worry, I will come up with a solution.” Ashley softl
After dedicating several sessions to strategise a flawless plan to overthrow the Flanders Group using the stock market's mechanisms, Liam and the group embarked on their individual paths to prepare for the implementation of their ambitious scheme.According to Liam’s brilliant idea, the only way they could rescue Ashley’s grandmother from the unjust captivity imposed by Damian Flander and William Flander was to destroy the net worth of the Flanders Group.When the entire Flanders Group holds no value, there will be no reason for Damian Flander and William Flander to inherit the Flanders Group or continue imprisoning Ashley's grandmother anymore.Because of the Flanders Group's established structure, only 40% of the total shares were available for public trading. This implied that there was no feasible way for Liam to acquire a majority ownership stake through purchasing shares and taking control of the entire conglomerate.If he could acquire more than 50% of Flanders Group shares, he
Amid the lively downtown streets of Novian City, a grandiose press conference featuring Damian Flander and William Flander took place at the entrance of the tallest Flanders Group building.To facilitate the historic event of the Flanders Group passing the torch to the next family member in line, several streets around the building had been cordoned off and blocked, resulting in restricted traffic flow.In addition to deploying armed bodyguards from a top-tier security company to maintain order and protect the safety of key personnels, mercenaries from different factions were contracted to ensure the smooth progression of the press conference without any disruptions as well.Every detail of the press conference had been carefully orchestrated for Damian Flander’s succession within the Flanders Group on this bright and joyful day.Following today, he would become one of the most powerful and influential men in the world.As the countdown to the Flanders Group's press conference reached
"Dump it?" Damian Flander unconsciously repeated Liam's words without giving them much thought. He was bewildered and confused by Liam's choice of words. Wasn't Liam supposed to be begging for mercy instead? It took him a while to grasp the meaning behind Liam's words, and when he finally did, his eyes widened in shock. At this point, there can only be one thing that Liam could be referring to that could be dumped! And that was Flanders’ Group stocks! “What do you mean by that?” Damian Flander shouted at Liam, pointing his index finger at him firmly, demanding an explanation. However, in response to Damian Flander's menacing expression, Liam merely shrugged and smiled before pointing at one of the large LED screens that was installed on the surrounding buildings, signaling him to look at the screen. Damian's heart was overwhelmed by an ominous feeling as he observed Liam's unwavering confidence. His unease deepened upon hearing the abrupt gasps coming from the crowd as well. Fi
As the large TV monitors installed on the nearby buildings were under the control of Liam and his crew, the current stock market price of Flanders' Group was swiftly reflected onto them, available for all to see.In just another minute, the price had quickly risen by another $20, climbing towards the price figure of $240.Within the course of less than ten minutes, Flanders' Groups stock price had rosen by more than 100%, and from the looks of things, it seemed like there was no stopping its momentum.Liam could see the looks of fervor from all the folks around him. As if in a trance, the majority of the crowd were chanting in unison, clenching their fists, hoping for the price to reach $250. “Just a little bit more! Just a little bit more! $250 is the target price which Liam Walker will be forced to buy back the stocks he shorted! Invest all your money into Flanders’ Group shares!” Damian Flander urged the crowd with gusto. At the same time, he made another call to his head accounta
“Rise! Rise! Rise!” “Muahahaha! This is the end of the line for you, Liam Walker! Let this be a lesson to you and any other foolish knaves! This is what will happen to anyone who dares to challenge me! A complete obliteration from me!” As the crowd spontaneously began to chant while observing the surge in Flanders Group's stock price, Damian Flander felt like a ruler—a true king holding the entire world in his grasp. People were hysterically cheering for him with their lives. It was such a heavenly feeling that he opened his arms wide apart and took a deep breath to feel the intense energy of the crowd. Like a hero who had the overwhelming support of the crowd, he was about to slain the hated Demon King and return victorious! “What are you all waiting for? For heaven's sake, why did I invest so much money in you just for you to stand idly by? Seize that insolent brat and break all his limbs! I want him permanently crippled and unable to stand for the rest of his life! After that,
“Holyshit, Flanders’ Group stock price is now trading at $125 dollars. No… wait, it’s $128 dollars now! Does that mean that the young gentleman over there is about to lose this battle?” “Who cares about that! Didn’t you hear what Damian Flander, the CEO of the Flanders’ Group said? He will buy back the shares and will maintain the share price of the Flanders’ Group at $150 dollars. This means that if we acquire Flanders' Group shares at this moment, there's profit to be had!” “Hahaha! I have earned thirty thousand dollars in just a few seconds. This is such easy money!” “Wait for me! My stupid phone is so slow to open the stock trading app. Ughh! The price has climbed to $145 dollars now! Fuck me sideways! Stop rising for god sake!” “Keep buying the stock! Keep buying! I have insider’s information that the young man that is opposing Damian Flander is an illegitimate son of Ethan Walker and his personal maid! Despite being part of the Walker family, he had lived his life as a povert
Complete silence descended upon the press conference as everyone remained in a state of blank anticipation following Liam's powerful declaration. The audience, including the bodyguards, held their breath as they closely watched the battle between Liam and Damian Flander. Even Damian Flander himself watched Liam with fear and anxiety as he anticipated a violent retaliation from Liam after finding out that Liam was part of the notorious Walker family. A full minute elapsed swiftly with nothing unfolding. With all the focus of everyone on him, Liam continued to maintain his calm demeanor, standing alongside Ahsley, shielding her from potential harm. Soon, five minutes had passed by and the crowd began to gradually become restless with nothing noteworthy happening. People were bewildered. Didn’t Liam declare that he would punish Damian Flander? A significant number of them started to doubt Liam, suspecting whether he was truly a member of the Walker family or if it was a false claim
“Stop! Raise your hands and display them! Any sudden movement and we will be forced to incapacitate the both of you!” Motivated by the substantial rewards pledged by Damian Flander, the head of the guards issued this command as all the nearby guards overcame their fear of Liam and drew their guns from their holsters.Normally, discharging firearms in a densely populated area with innocent bystanders is strongly discouraged. However, the prospect of a substantial reward had caused those guidelines to be disregarded entirely.With the barrels of their guns aimed at Liam, multiple guards started to step forward to apprehend Liam and Ashley. If Liam was to make any sudden movement, the guards would not hesitate to open fire immediately.Even though Liam had demonstrated superhuman strength and prowess in close combat, all the guards were convinced that he would be no match for their firearms.Furthermore, with Liam encircled by guns aimed at him from all directions, the likelihood of his
“Ah!” Ashley screamed out when one of the guards that surrounded her started charging towards her at full speed.She tried to flee from her spot but before she could even move her feet, she realised that the assailant had already seized her arm.“Let go of me!” With her arm in his grip, she made a desperate attempt to break free with all her strength. However, her act of resistance only seemed to infuriate Damian's Flander guard instead of helping her escape.Raising his hand with rage, the guard’s fist came crashing down towards Ashley’s face to teach her a lesson.Even though Ashley could anticipate the assailant's fist heading her way, she found herself powerless to defend against it. The substantial strength gap between her and the trained guard was insurmountable for her to overcome!Accepting her fate, she tightly shut her eyes, expecting a punch to land on her face.However, the assailant's punch never arrived. Even after the passage of several seconds, there was still no sign
“Stop it! Stop laughing, you imbeciles! This is not funny at all.” In the press conference, Damian Flander bemoaned his frustration and discontent while jumping up and down in a fit of anger.His face bore an unsightly appearance, marked by bloodshot eyes and a furious expression. Clenching his teeth and fists in anger, his face was heavily distorted with rage.With a hint of madness in his eyes, his current expression was a far cry from his enthusiastic self at the beginning of the press conference. His reputation that he painstakingly built up was ruined.How? Just what kind of sorcery did Ashley cast? Everything in the press conference had gone awry after her appearance! Today was meant to be the day of his coronation as the king! He was supposed to be the king of the world, not a major laughing stock for the public!As he shifted his gaze and spotted his ineffectual son who had gone into a daze, he cursed even more vehemently inwardly. Not only did his adopted son fail to abduct
Following the collective gasp of disbelief from the entire nation in response to the astounding scene before them, an uncomfortable silence descended upon the press conference.Nearly every man, including the online users, who witnessed the astonishing scene instinctively touched their groin area to confirm the integrity of their own genitals as they gulped in unison.A few of them even went to the extent of visually confirming that everything remained unchanged despite being in a public setting.Looking at the unexpected response of the crowd, Damian Flander shifted his gaze to look at William Flander. When he saw that William Flander was no longer a true man, his face turned incredibly ugly. He could not believe his eyes.“This…This… How is this possible!!” Damian Flander exclaimed, pointing at William Flander's groin area.He wanted to demand an answer from Willaim Flander immediately on what had happened, but an emotionless monotone voice echoed in the vicinity, interrupting him.
