DeShawn leaned in close as if to toast.

But then “accidentally” knocked his elbow into his glass.

Splash!

The drink poured straight down Emily’s front.

Her dress clung to her skin in an instant, soaked through with ice-cold whiskey.

The sharp sting of cologne, liquor, and humiliation clung to her like a second skin.

The once-sleek fabric now outlined every curve of her body under the overhead light.

And DeShawn?

He just sat back and laughed—like the bastard knew exactly what he was doing.

“Oh man—look at me, spacing out the second a pretty woman walks in. Not my fault, though. You’re just too damn gorgeous.”

DeShawn grinned, all sleaze and swagger, reeking of cheap whiskey and menthols.

As he spoke, one booze-slicked hand snaked toward Emily, brushing down her collarbone like it was just a casual gesture.

But it wasn’t casual—it was deliberate. And disgusting.

His hand was rough, heavy, trailing the sour stench of alcohol and cigarettes as it slid lower.

Emily’s face went pale in a

    In all of Riverside City, only TitanCorp had the capacity to handle a deal this massive. If they could lock it in, Jake’s family would level up—big time.And now they were just getting replaced?There was no way Jake would take that lying down.At the table, Timothy slowly swirled the Louis XIII in his glass, the amber liquid catching the light. He took a sip, exhaled, then spoke quietly.“Jake, you’ve only got yourself to blame—you pissed off someone you shouldn’t have.”He leaned in slightly, voice dropping to a warning.“And because of our history, I’ll give you this one bit of advice—some women… you touch, and you’re signing your own death warrant.”Jake’s eyes snapped wide. His cigarette slipped between his fingers.A chilling thought shot through his brain like lightning.Nina?He suddenly recalled an old rumor—one he’d always brushed off before.That Nina had a deep, off-the-record connection to the mysterious boss behind TitanCorp.Otherwise, there was no way Nova Group—a startu

    Emily finally broke. Her voice trembled as she stared at Nina, eyes wide with a mix of fear, disbelief, and heartbreak. “Nina… what are you doing? Have you lost your mind? What the hell are you trying to pull?!” Nina didn’t answer. Instead, she snatched a bottle of hard liquor from the table and, while Emily was distracted, shoved it against her lips and forced it down her throat. “Cough! Cough—!” Emily choked violently, trying to fight back. But whatever was in that bottle, it wasn’t just alcohol. Her body went weak after a few gulps. Her throat burned. Her head spun like she’d been slammed by a truck. Nina leaned in close, her breath brushing against Emily’s ear, her voice cold and venomous. “You really thought I forgave you, didn’t you?” she hissed. “Emily, you shameless little slut. Hooking up with Liam like some wide-eyed innocent? Please.” She sneered, her words like broken glass. “Tonight’s your turn to enjoy yourself. I hope you savor every second.” Nina turned t

    Liam hadn’t even touched the handle when the sounds hit him—loud, disgusting, animalistic.Sickening laughter mixed with the rhythmic thumps of bodies on a bed, like a sleazy porno playing behind a velvet curtain.His jaw clenched.With no warning. He lifted his right foot and slammed it straight into the thick door.The entire thing blew inward like it had been hit by a battering ram, cracking against the wall with a thunderous boom.Inside the smoky, dimly-lit suite, two half-naked people scrambled up from the plush velvet couch.The air reeked of alcohol, sweat, and something worse.Nina shrieked, instinctively yanking a throw pillow over herself.Jake, on the other hand, didn’t even flinch. He just smirked, shameless, and pulled Nina close like he was proud of the scene.When he saw who had kicked in the door, his grin only widened.“Well, well—if it ain’t Liam,” he said, voice thick with mockery.“You’re just in time—”Jake’s hand slid down Nina’s bare back as he kept going, eyes

    Liam drove his boot hard into Jake’s ribs one last time, making the guy grunt and curl up on the floor like a broken toy.Without missing a beat, Liam pulled out his phone, thumb jabbing the call button."You guys wanna move any slower?!" he barked the second it connected, his voice a sharp whip crack across the line. "Get up here now. Lock down Jake and Nina. And listen up—if Emily so much as gets a scratch tonight, I’ll make damn sure you wish you were never born!"He didn’t wait for a reply.Time wasn’t on his side.Liam stormed out of the suite, his boots hammering against the marble floor as he made a beeline for the elevators.—Back inside, Jake grabbed Nina’s arm, his face pale and sweaty.Low and panicked, he hissed, "Who the hell was Liam calling? Should we get out of here before his backup shows?"But Nina—Nina was gone.Her mind spiraled somewhere deep and dark, twisted by jealousy and spite.She shook her head violently, then started laughing—loud, shrill, manic."Leave?

    Emily had barely stumbled into the hotel suite when the heat hit her like a sledgehammer.Her skin burned, her head swam, and the world tilted dangerously.Somewhere deep inside, the last shred of her clear mind screamed—something’s wrong.She weakly shoved at DeShawn’s chest, her voice barely a whisper."You... you need to back off. What are you trying to do?"DeShawn’s grin stretched wide, revealing a mouth full of yellowed teeth.He smelled like cheap cologne and sweat.Leering, he planted wet, sloppy kisses all over her face while chuckling, "Damn, they weren’t lying. Riverside’s number one beauty, right in my arms. You’re even finer up close."His thick fingers gripped her arms hard enough to bruise."Be smart, baby. Play nice with Daddy, and maybe you won't suffer too much."Emily twisted against him, struggling, desperate.Her blurred vision caught sight of Timothy Williams standing stiffly by the wall."Timothy… please," she croaked. "Help me…"Timothy frowned, his voice tense

    "Who... who the hell are you?!"DeShawn finally snapped out of his daze after getting wrecked twice in a row. He wiped the blood off his face and stared warily at the young man standing over him.No matter how hard he racked his brain, he was sure he'd never seen this guy before.Liam didn’t even spare him a glance.His face was a storm of cold fury, eyes dark as a brewing hurricane.Without warning, he drove a vicious kick into DeShawn’s skull, making him grunt in pain and collapse like a broken ragdoll.Then Liam turned away, like DeShawn was nothing but trash on the sidewalk.He moved to the bed, knelt down, and carefully wrapped the trembling, half-dressed Emily in the blanket. His hands were steady, but his whole body radiated the kind of cold rage that promised blood."You should count your blessings," Liam said, voice low and deadly."You didn't have the chance to do something truly irreversible.Because if you had…"He glanced over his shoulder, eyes gleaming with pure malice.

    Liam rushed Emily into the ER, his arms tightening around her as he barked at the doctors to run a full panel on her.While waiting anxiously, his phone buzzed. It was Timothy."Boss, DeShawn slipped away," Timothy said, voice tense. "He said he's contacting Chairman Vincent."Liam’s face turned cold. "Tell them to meet me at the hospital this afternoon."He hung up without another word.After a while, the drugs in Emily’s system were finally neutralized, and she slowly came to.Liam stood by, flipping through her chart. His voice was low but firm as he instructed the doctors, "She was dosed with a dangerous mix—high concentrations of sex hormones, testosterone propionate, hCG, nandrolone phenylpropionate... all of it wrecks havoc on the body. I want you to prescribe something gentle to rebuild her system. No long-term damage, understood?"Emily blinked groggily at him. For a second, watching Liam rattle off medical terms with such authority, she almost mistook him for her attending p

    Footsteps echoed down the hall.Vincent appeared at the doorway, the soles of his polished leather shoes clicking sharply against the tile. He wore a black tailored suit and dark sunglasses, carrying an air so oppressive it felt like the temperature in the room dropped ten degrees.Behind him, dozens of men in black suits stood silently, like a wall of shadows.Emily’s heart sank. Her mind went blank.We’re screwed.DeShawn rushed forward, bowing so low it was almost a ninety-degree angle. "Boss!""Mr. Vincent!" the rest of DeShawn’s crew chorused, bowing in perfect unison, eyes full of reverence.Vincent gave a slight nod, barely acknowledging them. His voice was low and cutting as he asked, "Which one of you got touched?""It was him, boss!" DeShawn shouted, pointing straight at Liam, who sat calmly in a nearby chair.Vincent followed his finger... and saw Emily suddenly step in front of Liam, arms out as if she could shield him.Terrified but determined, Emily forced herself to spea

    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!"
