2024-10-28 14:58:43As soon as Liam spoke, the room erupted in anger. It was one thing if he did not know how to heal Natalie, but what he was saying now was outright insulting.
“Who the hell do you think you are to question Dr. Barret?” Michael snapped irritably, “Do you even know who he is?”
“I think it’s time you leave since you’re just going to keep interfering with Dr Barret’s treatment.” He demanded coldly.
Liam shifted his gaze across the room and was met with cold, annoyed looks.
He shrugged and heaved a tired sigh.
Over the years, he had cured thousands, but he had also seen hundreds of people die because they refused to trust him. As a healer, he couldn’t force his treatment on anyone.
“Believe it or not, you are actually putting her life at risk by leaving her in the hands of that man.” He said his voice calm but resolute, and without waiting for a response, turned and walked out.
“Get out!” Lisa roared with anger.
However, just when Lisa roared, she heard a scream from a maiden.
"Madam...Miss Natalie..." The maiden's voice trembled.
Lisa turned back shockingly, and she was frightened by what she saw.
Natalie started moaning in pain, her body trembling in discomfort.
Lisa rushed to Doctor Barret, panicking,
“Doctor, please do something.” Lisa cried out.
Noticing that Liam had left the room, Doctor Barret sneered and turned back to the girl, “That arrogant bastard thinks he knows more than me?” He said, his pride clearly hurt.
Lisa tried to smooth things over with him,
“Doctor Barret, please forgive us. Just save my daughter.” She said apologetically, trying to appease him.
“That’s okay,” he replied, and turned towards the maids,
“Hold her still, I’m going to administer the shot.” He added with a look of confidence.
Without question, some of the maids held Natalie down and he administered the injection.
Almost immediately, Natalie’s body became relaxed.
“I told you she’ll be fine,” Doctor Barret said with a smug smile.
“Just give her five more minutes and she’ll be able to get up on her feet.”
For a moment, it looked like he was right. Natalie’s breathing calmed and she became more relaxed.
But, precisely ten seconds later, her breathing suddenly became heavy, and her body shook violently.
Lisa gasped, her mind racing in panic as Natalie vomited blood, and her nose began to bleed, “Doctor, what’s happening to her?”
Mark’s face drained in color as he watched in horror, blood starting to seep from Natalie’s eyes and ears.
“Do something!” He shouted at Doctor Barrett, “I thought you said she was going to be fine, how can this be happening?!”
Doctor Barret stepped back, his confidence shattered, “I…I don’t know how this is possible.” He stammered, staring helplessly.
Michael snapped, his heart racing, “You’re supposed to be an expert!” He yelled helplessly, not sure what to do, “Don’t just stand there, do something! She’s my daughter!”
If his daughter died, he would never be able to forgive himself.
However, right at that moment, he suddenly remembered what Liam had said, his eyes widening in shock.
The young man was right.
Just as he realized this, his phone suddenly rang, stirring him out of his thoughts.
He quickly glanced at the screen and saw that it was Jack Gunter.
Without delay, he quickly answered the call, “Mr. Young, has the Young Master arrived yet?” Jack’s voice came over the other end of the line.
“Young Master? What are you talking about?” Michael asked in confusion.
“I asked Master Moran to help treat your daughter. He should have arrived by now. Haven’t you seen him?” Jack asked curiously.
As soon as Michael heard those words, his hands weakened in shock, his eyes widening as realization hit him like a punch.
The young man he’d just driven away was the famed Master Moran, and the thought made his stomach churn in fear.
Without hesitation, Michael ran out of Natalie’s room, fear and panic surging through him.
He could not believe he’d just spoken so rudely to his young master and only hope of saving his daughter’s life.
He reached the driver just as Liam was waiting for a taxi.
Desperate, he threw himself in front of the car, dropping to his knees with hands clasped in a plea.
Startled, Liam frowned and stared at the man blocking his path.
He stopped the car and quickly stepped out, approaching him with concern,
“Young master, please forgive me,” Michael cried, his forehead pressed to the ground, “I had no idea who you were… You’re the only one who can save my daughter. She’s dying in there. Everything you said was true. Please, please help her.” Michael begged.

After Natalie had been stripped naked, Liam took a deep breath and began the procedure. He looked at Natalie, steadying his breath, feeling the flow of energy through his body. He rubbed his hands, and then pressed them gently over her body, transferring the healing energy from his hands onto her body, and after a short while, he stopped.The water in the bathtub turned murky brown with a foul smell.It was as if the toxins from Natalie’s body were being rapidly expelled and neutralized by the chemicals in the bathtub.About an hour later after he had completed his treatment, Natalie’s face became less pale and filled with life immediately.

After Liam left the mansion, he drove straight to his newly gifted mansion, exhausted from his day. However, as soon as he walked into the house, his phone suddenly buzzed. Heaving a tired sigh, Liam retrieved the phone wondering who could be calling at this time. Seeing it was Mia, he hesitated for a while and then answered. He had barely said hello before Mia’s annoyed voice sounded, “Listen, my grandfather has demanded that we register for our marriage first thing tomorrow morning. I’ve tried to talk him out of it and convince him that we don’t need to rush into it, but he won’t let up. So meet me at the registrar's office tomorrow morning, do not keep me waiting.” Liam hesitated for a while. He could tell from her tone that she did not want this marriage, but there was not much he could do. “Okay, I’ll be there.” “Does it not bother you?” Mia sharply interjected, her voice tinged with anger and frustration. “I mean you are about to enter a fake marriage with a complete

Outside the hall, several young people were gathered, watching as Victor attempted to break his own record. Liam glanced and could see a man firing an arrow at a target with several others. Suddenly the announcer yelled in excitement, “Ladies and gentlemen, I can’t believe it. Victor Carpi has set a new record. He’s the undefeated archery champion of the world!” Victor turned around, bowing gracefully to the cheers and applause from the crowd and then he spotted Yona and approached her with a smile. “Yona, Mia, I’m glad you could make it.” But just as he spoke, his eyes fell on Liam and immediately, the excitement on his face slowly faded. “So he’s here too.” “Yeah unfortunately so. He’s Mia’s husband, they
THE VENGEFUL HEIR Liam Wins?
However, Liam did not pay attention to Victor's provocation; he remained confident, but the people around him booed. "Country bumpkin, just admit defeat! Victor scored full marks! Don't be a clown!" Liam ignored the people around him and took the bow and arrows handed to him by the staff. Victor looked at Liam in disbelief, "Kid, don't you understand the rules of archery? I've already scored full marks; there's no way you can beat me! I advise you to admit defeat early and divorce Mia!" Liam glanced at him mockingly, "The competition isn't over yet, and you already think you've won?" Hearing Liam's words, Victor sneered, "Fine, then let me see how this clown will perform!" Liam ignored the surrounding boos and jeers and easily picked up the bow and arrows. Just when everyone thought Liam was going to embarrass himself, he surprisingly pulled out three arrows in one go! Before the laughter could start, Liam quickly shot all three arrows within three seconds, and the onl
THE VENGEFUL HEIR President Young
Author’s POVMichael frowned upon seeing the crowd that formed. He had come to meet a friend and did not want to be disturbed and so waved his hand in displeasure, and immediately his bodyguards formed a wall, blocking off the guards. The camera flashes and whispers were cut short as his secretary stepped forward, her voice calm yet commanding,“Everyone please remain calm. Mr Young does not want to be disturbed, but he has told me to inform you that he will be hosting a charity banquet to express his gratitude to the divine doctor for healing his daughter.”The announcement sent a shockwave of excitement across the crowd. Soon they started whispering about the exclusivity of the event.Liam on the other hand did not look so interested. He knew the Young family was prominent, but seeing the reaction from the crowd, he could not help but be impressed.“Huh,” he scoffed with a thoughtful look, and Mia who was standing beside him turned around.“So President Young is so prestigious, int

I’ll get you to where you want to go.”Mia’s frustration increased, tired of his incessant pretentious acts.“You don’t have tickets either. Stop acting like you can just magically fix everything.”Liam chuckled softly, unfazed by her words. “Maybe you should stop underestimating me.”Mia huffed, but there was something about Liam’s calm demeanor that kept her waiting around a bit longer. Finally, she gave a reluctant nod, “Fine. Let’s go home.”Going back to the Stevens mansion with Liam was a feeling she had to get used to. With Liam around, she constantly felt like her space was being intruded upon and knew it would take some time to get used to that, but if she could not do anything to convince her grandfather about getting a divorce now, time with Liam would be

Get into President Young’s banquet?” “This isn’t some joke, Liam.”Yona chimed in, “Why are we even wasting our time listening to this braggart? We all know he doesn’t have any connections to get into any place.”Liam flashed them a cold smirk, ignoring them, and turned toward Mia, his gaze softening as he stared at her, “Would you like to go to the banquet with me?”Mia froze, caught off guard by the question. She did not know if she could trust Liam, but his confidence about getting them in had left her intrigued.

A conversation with the Ogini
Evelyn’s voice crackled through the phone, filled with uncertainty. “Liam…what kind of problem?”But Liam didn’t answer. Instead, he exhaled slowly, his fingers tightening around the Zuri blade. It no longer felt like cold metal in his hand. Instead, it pulsed, almost like it was coming alive, aware, waiting. And in that moment, something inside him knew: the Ogini hadn’t just spoken to him. It had touched him.“I think,” Liam said, his voice quiet but firm, “I think I just had a conversation with the Ogini.”As soon as those words fell, there was a long moment of silence. Then, Evelyn’s voice, careful and measured, sounded on the other end of the phone. “What do you mean… conversation?”Liam opened his mouth to answer, but before he could, a loud explosion sounded through the night, shaking the walls. The force sent a jolt through Liam’s chest, and immediately his instincts screamed danger.Liam spun toward the direction of the blast, heart pounding. The air outside was thick with sm
We Have A Problem
Liam watched the men leave, his brows furrowing in anger, and then exhaled sharply as he stepped back inside, locking the door behind him. The silence of the house pressed against him, a stark contrast to the confrontation that had just taken place outside. The Tribunal had drawn their line in the sand. He had refused to back down, and now, he had made enemies of powerful people. There was no turning back.He ran a hand down his face, willing the tension in his body to ease, but it wouldn’t. His mind kept spinning, calculating the next move, searching for the inevitable plan to retaliate. He needed to be ready, but first he needed to know how Jack was doing.He pulled out his phone and dialed her number. He needed to know they were safe. If he was going to fight this war, the people he cared about couldn’t be collateral damage.The phone rang once. Twice and then went flat. Liam sighed and dialed it again, this time, his grip on the phone faltered as a familiar vibration surged throug
New Enemies
The room was thick with tension as Liam’s gaze swept over the Stevens family. Their expressions ranged from anger to uncertainty, but all eyes were on him, desperate, eager for a solution. He took a slow breath, steadying himself before speaking.“I know you don’t like this,” he said, his voice calm but firm. “I know you don’t trust me. But right now, I need all of you to do exactly that.”Yona scoffed, folding her arms tightly. “Trust you? After everything?”Liam didn’t react to the venom in her voice. He simply nodded. “Yes.” Liam replied sharply, shifting his gaze to her, “Because whether you believe me or not, I’m the only one keeping Mia safe.” His tone was final, leaving no room for argument.Lord David studied him, his sharp gaze searching for something beneath the words. The hesitation in his silence was different this time. This time, it wasn’t out of suspicion, but out of concern.He heaved a deep breath and then turned to Liam, speaking calmly. “Liam. A word.”Liam glanced
What If We Are Too Late?
Liam arrived shortly at the Stevens mansion. Following Jonah’s scare, he needed to know that no one that mattered to him or Mia was in danger, at least not until he had a way to cure whatever this monstrosity was. As he pulled over in the driveway, the air in the mansion was thick with unease. The weight of Mia’s absence pressed down on everyone like an invisible force. The grand hall fo the mansion which was usually a place opulence and control, now felt suffocating, filled with restless murmurs and anxious glances. No one knew what to do.Yona was pacing, arms crossed tightly over her chest, her frustration spilling over. “This is insane,” she snapped, shaking her head. “Mia’s been missing for hours, and we’re just sitting here doing nothing? We should be calling the police—”“She’s not missing. She’s with Liam.” Lord David’s voice was firm, cutting through the tension like a knife.Yona turned sharply to face him, her eyes blazing with defiance. “Yeah? Then why hasn’t anyone heard
Make Him Pay
Liam nodded at Evelyn’s words, still trying to hold back his frustration and anger with everything that was happening. “Let me know when he’s awake,” he said quietly. “I have something to take care of.”Evelyn hesitated, her eyes studying him. She could see the weight of exhaustion pressing down on him, but she knew Liam wouldn’t stop, not now. With a quiet sigh, she reached out and patted his shoulder.“Liam… just be careful.”Liam didn’t respond. He turned and walked away, his boots heavy against the hospital floor. As soon as he stepped outside, the cold air hit his face, but it did little to ground him. His body was humming with tension, his mind clouded with everything that had happened in the last few hours—Jack’s battered body, the blood, the Zuri blade pulsing in his grip, and worst of all… Jonah.Jonah was dead, and there was nothing he could do to prevent him. Even till now Jonah’s death was still devastating. It reminded him that at the moment, there was not much he could d
Rescued
After saying those words, Jack was almost about to slump again, but this time Liam caught him before he hit the ground. His body was cold, his breathing shallow with blood smeared all over his torn shirt, and at a glance, it seemed almost as if he was lifeless.“Jack!” Liam shook him slightly, but Jack was already unconscious at this time.Liam clenched his jaw, his mind racing. He didn’t have time to process Jack’s words. He already knew Peter was a nightmare, but now he had just confirmed for himself that there was even something much worse waiting in the shadows.Without wasting another second, Liam picked him up regardless of the pain surging through his body. He carried Jack down the stairs, moving as fast his battered body would allow. By the time he reached the car, he wasted no time and immediately yanked open the passenger door and carefully eased Jack inside, making sure his head was supported.Liam slid into the driver’s seat, gripping the wheel so tightly his knuckles turn
He’s Creating Monsters
Liam took a cautious step forward. Jonah was on the ground, breathing heavily, his body twitching as the last remnants of Peter’s virus coursed through him. But his red eyes, weren’t just burning with fury anymore. There was something else. A flicker of recognition. A glimpse of the man Jonah used to be.The Zuri blade pulsed in Liam’s grip, sending an eerie sensation up his arm. The glow of the blade intensified, and for the first time, Liam felt something shift, not just in the weapon, but in the air around him.Peter leaned forward, his smirk faltering as he watched with sharp, curious eyes. “Interesting…” he murmured.Liam ignored him. His attention was locked onto Jonah. Carefully, he crouched, his muscles tense but his voice steady.“Jonah… listen to me.” His voice was low, calm. “You don’t have to fight anymore. You don’t have to be what Peter made you.”Jonah’s body shuddered, his breaths weak. His fingers curled into the ground, clawing at the concrete like he was fighting ag
Can't Save Everybody
“You shouldn’t have done that.” Peter said in a low menacing voice. Upon hearing those words, Liam was slightly confused by what Peter meant. His heart hammered in his ears, but he didn’t dare take his eyes off Jonah, who was still writhing in the dim light.When he saw Jonah twitched, slowly pushing himself up, with blood still oozing from his chest, but nevertheless still not slowing him down. Liam’s eyes widened in disbelief. This was not supposed to be possible. That cut had gone deep enough and Jonah should not have survived that, even if he did, he shouldn’t have been moving.Bracing himself, Liam tightened his grip around the Zuri blade.“Did you really think it would be that easy?” Peter’s voice filtered into his ears again, each word more condescending than the last. “I’ve spent years building this, perfecting my creations. Did you really think you can just end it with a single swing?”The words hit Liam like a punch to the gut and his mind raced, every thought spinning out
The Monster Within
A few seconds went by and then slowly, Jonah stood up, his gaze locked directly on Liam. He clenched his fist angrily, the veins on his arms popping out and then he growled. He took a step forward, muscles twitching as his blood red eyes remained locked onto Liam, and then he stomped the ground hard, causing it to tremble slightly. Liam clenched his jaw and held out a hand. His breath was steady, but within him, he didn’t want to keep fighting Jonah. He wasn’t afraid, but he wasn’t reckless either. “Jonah,” he called out, his voice firm but calm. “I know you’re in there. Stop this. I don’t wanna hurt you. I think I can help.” Liam said, lowering his arms as if trying to calm Jonah down.For a moment, Jonah hesitated, almost as if he could understood Liam. His body stiffened, his claws twitched, and those hollow red eyes flickered with something—something human.But then Peter’s voice slithered through the darkness like poison.“It’s no use, Liam.” His words dripped with satisfaction
