Emily looked at Liam, concern clear on her face. She opened her mouth to speak again—but Jake cut her off with a cold grin.

“Emily, correct me if I’m wrong,” he said smoothly, “but isn’t the Carter family struggling right now? Rumor has it your funding dried up. Not exactly a great time to make enemies… wouldn’t you say?”

It was a blatant threat.

And he wasn’t wrong—Emily’s family had recently signed a private partnership with TitanCorp, but it hadn’t been announced yet. No one in the room knew.

Emily’s eyes narrowed.

She was just about to speak up and reveal the truth—when Liam raised a hand.

“That’s enough.”

He turned to Emily, voice calm.

“Thank you for standing up for me. But this isn’t your fight.”

“I’ll handle it myself. You don’t need to put the Carter family at risk because of me.”

Nina’s eyes darted back and forth between Liam and Emily, a sour look flickering in her gaze.

When she finally spoke, her voice was sharp enough to cut glass.

“Well, well, look at that—our little kni

    The man walked with an aura that crushed the air around him.Every step felt deliberate, like gravity itself bowed to his presence. His eyes, cold and unreadable, swept across the room—and not a single person dared meet them.Just moments ago, everyone had been falling over themselves praising Jake. Now? The whole place went dead silent. You could’ve heard a pin drop. The very people who were just buttering him up were now shrinking back like scared little pigeons.Because this man... was him.Mr. Amnon.The name alone could freeze blood. The undisputed number one on the global wealth list. Power, money, influence—he didn’t just have it all, he was it all. A ghost in high places. You never saw him unless he wanted to be seen. And if you somehow managed to get in his good graces? Congratulations, you could play billionaire in any capital city like it was your backyard.So naturally, everyone assumed he’d shown up today—for Jake.And why wouldn’t they? With Mr. Amnon showing up

    Nina stood there, frozen, her mouth hanging open in disbelief. She pointed a trembling finger at Liam and practically shrieked.“What did you just call him?! You said ‘Young Master’? Are you serious? He’s a loser!”“There's no fucking way!”“He was married to me for five years—five years! All he ever did was deliver food! There’s no way he could be your Young Master!”Her voice cracked. “You’re Mr. Amnon! You're the one they say stands on top of the damn world! Why the hell would you—you—bow to him?!”Amnon’s eyes darkened.He’d seen what Liam had endured over the past five years. He hadn’t just read reports—he felt it. If it hadn’t been for Liam’s repeated orders to stand down, Nina wouldn’t have survived long enough to ask such a stupid question. Now, hearing her shamelessly slander the very man who could have had her erased with a snap?That was a line she should’ve never crossed.“You dare speak like that?” Amnon’s voice dropped to a dangerous low. “For what you just said… I

    The once-bustling wedding banquet had gone dead quiet, like someone had pulled the plug on the whole event.Emily stood near the edge of the hall, hesitant. She could’ve left like the rest, but something deep in her gut told her to stay—there were things she needed answers for, and Liam was the only one who could give them.Amnon scoffed, his voice low but laced with cold fury. “Young Master, honestly… you should’ve let me end those two clowns. Would’ve saved you the headache down the line.”Then he paused, finally noticing that Emily was still there, and shut his mouth.Liam didn’t react to the comment. His face was calm, unreadable—but when he looked at Emily, there was a flicker of something softer in his eyes.“Emily,” he said, voice steady, “is there something you still want to ask?”She took a breath, her gaze filled with guilt. “I just wanted to say… I’m sorry. Back there, I should’ve stood up for you. But I didn’t.”Liam looked at her for a moment before offering a faint smi

    Back when they were just kids, the Blair family and the Windsor had arranged a marriage—an old-school engagement sealed by handshake and legacy. But as Liam grew up, he kept his cards close to his chest. Even though he’d built his own business empire before he was old enough to legally drink—and had already made waves across multiple industries—he played the part of an average, unremarkable heir. Just another rich kid with no ambition... or so everyone thought.As for the Blair family’s daughter…Amnon let out a sly chuckle, clearly enjoying the drama. “Young Master, that Miss Blair has been head over heels for you for years.” “You wouldn’t believe the lengths she’s gone through trying to find you.”Liam shook his head, his tone tinged with regret. “I owe her, no doubt about it. Hopefully this time, she’ll name her price—give me a chance to make things right.”Amnon glanced at him, thinking if only it were that easy. The conditions Miss Blair had in mind? Liam might not be ready

    “Once I’ve dealt with that punk Liam, I’ll throw the biggest damn wedding. You’re my queen, after all. I’d never let you settle for anything less.”That line worked like magic. Nina snuggled into his chest, her face glowing with fake sweetness. “I knew you loved me the most,” she purred. “Liam’s a worthless loser. He’s nothing compared to you, my love.”“So, when are we going to crush him? I want to see him on his knees, begging for mercy. It’s the only way I’ll feel satisfied.”Jake’s expression turned cold. “Trust me, we’ll make him pay. But not yet. There’s something bigger in motion.” “In a few days, someone important’s coming into town from Capitol Hill—Miss Blair, the heiress of the Blair family.”Nina blinked, startled. “Wait... the Blair family? One of the Big Six?”Jake nodded, eyes gleaming with ambition. “Exactly.” “She’s the designated successor of the Blairs, and she’s coming here—to Riverside City. No one knows exactly why, but if we can get on her radar, make an im

    Liam couldn’t help but smile as he watched Emily’s bright, beaming face. That smile—sunny, warm, full of life—was like a ray of light breaking through storm clouds. Just being near her made his mood shift for the better.Noticing his gaze, Emily’s cheeks flushed a soft pink. She fumbled over her words.“W-Why are you looking at me like that?”Liam turned away with a smirk, staring out the window as he shrugged.“Nothing. Just… your smile. It’s kinda contagious.”Emily’s blush deepened. The air between them suddenly thickened with something unspoken—an undercurrent of tension that was hard to ignore.A few minutes later, the car came to a smooth stop in front of TitanCorp’s towering glass building. Emily cut the engine and turned to Liam.“Wait here a sec, I’ll go park and come right back.”Liam gave a quick nod and stepped out.But before he could take a full step away, a voice like nails on a chalkboard cut through the air.“Well well well… if it isn’t you again, Liam!

    Even Jake, thick as he was, could tell something was off. And if this continued, the Johnson Family was bound to start getting impatient with him.He tried to save face, flashing a stiff smile.“Relax,” he said to Nina, voice low and full of fake confidence. “This loser? Please. There’s no way he knows anything about what’s really going on up here in high society.” “He’s just trying to mess with our heads. I’ll give Mr. Williams a call later, have a nice little heart-to-heart.” “He’ll set things straight.”Liam stood there with his hands in his pockets, the faintest smirk curling across his lips. His eyes, cold and sharp, didn’t miss a thing. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, the crisp clack of heels echoed down the marble steps.Emily was walking toward them quickly, dressed in a fitted navy-blue blazer and pencil skirt that gave her an air of sharp elegance. Her dark hair was pulled into a neat bun, and every step she took radiated calm confidence.“Sorry to keep you waiti

    “Stop fucking embarrassing me!” Jake boomed.He shot Nina a sharp glance, then quickly smoothed his expression into something more serious—more troubled. He let out a long, theatrical sigh.“Nina, you know how things are with my family. I’ve never exactly been the golden boy in the Johnson clan.” “The only reason my dad and grandpa even agreed to our engagement was because you were supposed to land that billion-dollar contract.”He paused, letting the words sink in, then added slowly,“Now that the deal’s gone... and with everything that’s happened lately... my standing in the family is slipping fast.” “I’m afraid our marriage might not even be on the table anymore. You know how it is—families like mine don’t marry for love.” “We marry for leverage.”Nina’s face instantly paled.She knew Jake was her best bet. Hell, her only real bet. Yeah, she had her looks and the Nolan name backing her, but after a failed marriage? Most of the top-tier families wouldn’t even give her a second

    Liam had no choice but to change the plan for escorting the token.They waited in the dock until nine, gathered everyone, had a hearty meal, and got in peak condition before driving back to Riverside.From the airport to the city, avoiding major traffic routes, there were three national highways and six provincial roads leading to their destination.The enemy was in the dark, while they were in the light, so Liam couldn’t afford to alert anyone or cause any civilian casualties.Otherwise, the enemies might slip away without a trace, while they’d be left dealing with a whole mess of problems.For this reason, Liam chose a provincial road that was relatively close and seldom traveled.But there were two spots along this road that were perfect for ambushes.Before reaching this road, Liam had already spent hours on the national highway. As they neared a three-way intersection by the highway, he suddenly turned onto a mountain path.They passed through a small village and arrived at the p

    The plaque was intricately carved with dragon claws, with a large “L” character in seal script at the center, and a smaller “S” underneath. The back of the plaque shimmered, engraved with the words "G.""Yes, that’s it," Chloe said, her eyes gleaming as she nodded to the burly man."Chloe, the mercenary contract is now concluded."The burly man seemed uninterested in the plaque. With a wave, he turned and strutted back to his vehicle.As the cars disappeared from view, Nicolas and the others finally exhaled in relief."Continue to stay alert!" Liam ordered, before turning and walking back toward the dock with Chloe.Chloe carefully toyed with the plaque in her hands, her expression one of deep respect.Liam raised an eyebrow. "Chloe, were the Litsgon ancestors royal guards or something?""You figured it out?" Chloe asked, surprised."I’m no fool," Liam grinned. "I may not have seen the real deal, but I’ve watched enough period dramas. I heard that the real imperial tokens are worth mil

    Liam nodded knowingly. "International-level mercenaries aren't always foreign. Mercenaries with our nationality aren't monitored as strictly, as long as they're not doing anything illegal. They can run businesses just like anyone else, as long as they stay within the law." He patted Chloe’s shoulder. "Chloe, don’t worry. Even if things go sideways during the handoff, I’ll make sure you’re safe." "But the token is more important than me, I..." Chloe trailed off. Liam cut her off. "Chloe, if the worst happens, I’ll make sure you're safe and destroy the token in the shortest time possible." Chloe’s eyes widened. "Liam, you mean burn it all down?" "It won’t be that dramatic," Liam waved off the idea. "But you have to promise me you won’t hold it against me, or I won’t do it." "Let... let’s see what happens," Chloe said, her voice wavering slightly. They sat in the corner of the dock, speaking softly for a while. Half an hour later, Nicolas' deep voice crackled through their e

    Liam nodded and addressed the rest of the group. "You stay as you are, adapt as needed. Ensure the enemy can’t get close to the target!" "Yes, sir!" The mercenaries shouted together. Nicolas looked concerned. With three snipers now on the team, including Liam, the balance and coordination of their team could be disrupted. Chloe and Jack stood nearby, listening to Liam's commands. Their respect for him had skyrocketed. This guy knew military operations like the back of his hand. He was definitely no ordinary person! There had to be a legendary story behind him. "Alright, Mr. Lee, we're ready to go," Chloe checked her watch. "By 8 PM, my family's token will be arriving at the International Airport." "We’re changing routes?" Liam frowned. "Yeah, we have no choice," Chloe nodded. "Other members of my family are onto me now. I’m not sure who I can trust, so I need to prepare early." "Alright," Liam agreed. He’d done thorough research on the Nightton area, and several covert route

    Captain Nicolas looked up and saw Liam lying flat on the ground, his shoulder resting on the PSG rifle, the infrared scope already activated."Still aiming for the left heart.""Damn it!"Jack and Chloe exchanged a look, both filled with excitement."Liam is crushing Captain Nicolas! He's completely dominating!""This is amazing! Looks like Liam is the key factor for tonight's operation!"As the saying goes, amateurs watch for the spectacle, but experts look for the subtleties.The other seven mercenaries stood stunned, speechless with shock.They all knew Captain Nicolas’ skills.Sure, he was bulky, but his reaction time and handling ability were top-notch, otherwise, he wouldn’t have earned the respect of the team.But that scrawny young man had just outperformed Captain Nicolas in both reaction time and skill by a full second—maybe two!In the mercenary world, if you’re even a fraction of a second faster than your opponent, it could decide life or death.Yet here, Captain Nicolas,

    "Boring questions." Liam snapped his fingers, swiftly slicing through the air and catching the 92’s trigger guard in his hand.With a smooth motion, he chambered a round and aimed, all in one seamless action.If he had wanted to kill, Captain Nicolas would have already had a bullet hole in the middle of his forehead.The other eight men weren’t rookies; they immediately recognized Liam’s skill, and a flicker of uncertainty passed through their minds.Just that one move was enough to rattle them!Captain Nicolas wasn’t pleased. His voice dropped low, "Brother, I’ve never heard of you before. Where did you train?""Just some nobody, trained on my own at home," Liam said, walking casually over to the long table.The table was lined with some of the most common firearms and gear on the market.Liam glanced over, then pulled a scoped assault rifle from one of the cases. "Who’s got the G3-PSG?""Sir, that would be me," a stocky man stepped forward.Liam nodded and placed his hand on the sco

    "Mr. Liam, are you ready?"The voice on the other end of the phone was cold and detached, almost robotic—Chloe, one of Amnon's operatives.She was in charge of the military side of the operation, but she had no idea who Liam really was."I've got the terrain covered, shouldn’t be an issue," Liam replied calmly."Mr. Liam, this mission is highly dangerous. To ensure your safety, I've hired an additional team. I’m asking you one last time—are you sure you want to proceed with this operation?" Chloe’s voice dropped a notch, the tension clear. "If the mission fails, the consequences will be severe."From the way Chloe spoke, it was clear she was nervous, showing just how important this operation was."I already told you, there’s no problem," Liam said with a faint smile. "You called just to double-check on this?"Chloe hesitated, her voice low. "I’ve heard that the opposition hired an international-level team. The enemy is in the shadows, and we’re in the light.

    As he stepped into the hallway, he ran straight into Timothy, the manager from Mr. Williams' company.“Mr. Williams!” Vincent greeted, surprised but quickly recovering.“Mr. Vincent! Fancy seeing you here!” Timothy responded, equally taken aback.They were old business acquaintances.“Heh, yeah, small world,” Vincent chuckled, trying to brush it off.As they chatted, Timothy noticed Liam and Emily through the open door of the banquet room. His eyes lit up, and he called out with surprise, “Mr. Liam, Miss Emily, you’re here too?”Emily greeted him warmly.She hadn’t expected to run into Mr. Williams here.“Hello,” Liam said with a polite smile.“Mr. Williams, I didn’t know you two knew each other. You chat, I’ve got to dash—I really need to use the restroom!” Vincent said quickly, then bolted off without waiting for a response.Timothy watched him go, a puzzled look on his face. Something about Vincent today seemed... off.Jake and Nina, who hadn’t gone far, saw everything and quickly p

    "Thank you, I really like it..." Emily said softly.Emily liked the gift?Liam froze for a second.But then, it clicked. She was probably just trying to avoid making Vincent feel too awkward."Haha, well, as long as you like it," Liam chuckled, playing along with the act."Mm."Emily gently pressed her lips together, her eyes flickering with emotion."Haha, I'm so glad you like it, Miss Emily!"Vincent, noticing her reaction, slapped his thigh with excitement.If Miss Emily liked it, then that surely meant Mr. Liam liked it too!It looked like his gift had been spot on after all."Alright, quick, cover up the painting again with the cloth. We can’t let any dust settle on such a precious gift for Mr. Liam and Miss Emily!"Vincent waved his hand with authority, quickly getting back into his stride.A man hurriedly filled their glasses with red wine."Come, Mr. Liam, Miss Emily, allow me to toast to both of you!"Vincent stood and raised his glass to them."Mr. Vincent, you’re too kind!"
