This was an upscale event. People here didn’t raise their voices, let alone shout.

Naturally, Susan’s loud, shrill outburst turned heads, drawing curious and disapproving glances from all around the room.

“Michael! Honey! Teach that bastard a lesson!”

Liam ignored Susan’s dramatic wailing. He stepped over to the middle-aged man, lower his voice.

"You’re a department manager at Harmony Group, right?”

“You really pick a woman with nothing but trouble.”

“If she latches onto you, you’ll be lucky if all you lose is your reputation."

Michael Gosling frowned.

"Who the hell are you? If I don’t stand by my woman, I’ll be the one losing my reputation."

Liam chuckled, adjusting Michael’s tie like an old friend.

He subtly motioned for Michael to take note of the eyes on them.

"Your reputation’s already in the gutter. After this little spectacle, word’s going to spread fast."

"A man in your position should know the value of a good name. But hey, if you’re really interested in her, I can send you s

    The surrounding diners, oblivious to the full story, turned their heads toward Liam and Emily, whispering amongst themselves.Liam’s expression darkened.He was used to being misunderstood. Five years as the Nolan family’s punching bag had thickened his skin.But Emily? She didn’t deserve this.She’d only spoken up for him, and now Susan was dragging her through the mud.Susan, relentless as ever, jabbed a manicured finger toward Emily."If you can’t pay the three million, let your bitch cover it!" she spat.“She looks rich. Three million should be pocket change for her, right?”Liam’s jaw tightened as he stepped forward, placing himself between Emily and Susan like a shield."You’re just as trashy as your daughter," he said coldly. "Get out."Susan’s face twisted with rage as she lunged, raising her hand to slap him."How dare you! I’ll—"Liam’s hand shot up, catching her wrist mid-swing.“I said, get out.” His voice was quiet.Susan froze, her mouth half-open. She wanted to argue, t

    Emily's eyes widened in disbelief.Timothy Williams was one of the most respected figures in Riverside City.Rumor had it that Titan Corp had been on the verge of collapse until a young man turned it around in less than six months, transforming it into the city’s top enterprise.Every major policy, every operational system. It had all been meticulously designed by that young genius.And Timothy was the right-hand man chosen to execute it all.Keeping a company at the pinnacle of success wasn’t easy, yet Timothy had done just that.Over the years, countless firms had tried to poach him, throwing offers of obscene wealth at his feet, but none had succeeded.And here was Liam, casually dismissing him as “smart” and “knows his stuff.”Besides, as far as she knew, Timothy had only ever worked under one person—the mysterious young owner of Titan Corp.So why did Liam just say that Timothy worked under him?Was he talking about... back in school or something?So Liam meant they were friends

    But Nina forced a smile, her hand brushing over Jake’s chest."Jake, you were amazing!" she cooed. "I’m the luckiest woman alive to have you!"Jake puffed up like a damn peacock, soaked up every word of her praise.He planted a sloppy kiss on her cheek, then, without warning, dropped the bombshell."Nina, will you marry me?"He didn’t even wait for her answer, already convinced it was a done deal."This weekend, I’m throwing the most extravagant wedding at the Imperial Grand Garden. You’re going to be my bride there!"Nina’s heart nearly stopped.This weekend sounded too soon.But The Imperial Grand Garden? The most exclusive venue in the city?That place wasn’t just for anyone. Even a Silver Membership required a minimum deposit of over a hundred million.Even though Nova Group was successful, Nina wasn’t anywhere near that level."Oh my god!" she gasped without one more second hesitated, "Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes! I can’t wait to be your bride!"She threw her arms around him,

    Jake oozed with smug confidence. He let out a cocky laugh."Oh, you think you know everything, huh?" He spread his arms wide."Let me enlighten you. I’ve got connections! Do you know Mr. Amnon? He’s a close friend of mine!"Liam studied him for a moment. Then he chuckled softly and quitely. He shook his head."Impossible," he said, his voice calm but sharp, like a blade wrapped in silk."I know Amnon well. He works for me.”“Amnon doesn’t waste his time with idiots, and he sure as hell wouldn’t lower himself to someone like you."Jake smirked and shook his head."Liam, do you even hear yourself? You? Amnon works for you?"He clapped his hands and doubled over with laughter."Dude, it’s nighttime! Quit daydreaming!"With a mocking tilt of his head, Jake pointed at Liam."So what are you now? Some undercover billionaire?" He scoffed. "Lemme guess, delivering pizzas is just your way of ‘staying humble’?"He snapped his fingers."Alright, big shot, here’s your chance. Buy me a Lamborghini

    Jake checked his watch. He looked visibly irritated."Every minute we waste here is money lost. Can you even afford to cover that?""Just do yourself a favor. Apologize to us and the viewers. Admit you’re a fraud. Save yourself the humiliation."Liam ignored the jeers. He tilted his head slightly, as if listening for something. Then he smiled."It’s here. Cash or card?"Nina blinked. "What?"Before she could process his words, the deep, throaty roar of an engine echoed from the entrance. A sleek white supercar rolled into view. Its polished exterior gleamed under the lights like a predatory beast fresh out of a showroom.Liam took a slow lap around the car. He nodded in approval."Not bad, Jake. You’ve got decent taste."The driver’s side door swung open. A young, attractive salesgirl stepped out, clutching a purchase contract. Her face glowed with excitement."Who’s Liam? Mr. Liam?"Liam raised a hand lazily."That’s me. Payment goes through?"The salesgirl beamed. This sale alon

    Nina’s breath caught as reality sank in. The car was real. If Liam wasn’t a loser… then what did she do? She walked away from a hidden billionaire?!Her stomach twisted. She thought she’d made the right choice. Now it felt like a cruel joke. Her voice came out strained, cracking at the edges."Liam… if you had this kind of money, why didn’t you tell me?""Why did I have to suffer for five years? If I had known…"Liam laughed, but there was no warmth in it. Just cold amusement."Listen to yourself, Nina.""Five years ago, you told me you wanted to marry someone on your level."His gaze flicked over her, unreadable. "That’s what I did. I hid my identity to support you from the shadows.""Do you really think you could’ve built Nova Group into what it is today without my help?"Nina flinched like he’d slapped her. Her phone slipped from her fingers and hit the pavement with a dull clatter. Jake sneered, clinging to any scrap of control he had left."Nina, don’t tell me you’re fall

    Inside, the villa was just as breathtaking.Every inch of it radiated quiet luxury. The high-end furniture looked like it had never been touched. The decor was understated yet elegant.Liam took his time exploring. His footsteps were the only sound breaking the stillness.After freshening up, he finally let exhaustion win. He sank onto the plush bed and let sleep take him under.He woke up with the sharp vibration of his phone.It was Emily Carter."I heard Jake got arrested. What happened?"As soon as Liam picked up the phone, Emily asked immediately. Her tone was a mix of curiosity and concern.Liam smirked and sat up."How’s your stomach? Feeling better?""It’s fine now, no big deal." Emily replied quickly, then pressed on. "But seriously, what happened? Did it have something to do with you?"Liam shrugged over the phone."News travels fast. Let me guess, Nina called you?"Emily sighed. "She was begging me to help bail him out."Liam let out a short laugh, low and unimpressed."Ins

    When he realized that Liam wasn’t angry about his oversight, Amnon let out a quiet breath of relief. He straightened up quickly."Young Master, are you heading to the Garden now?""I'll be near the Imperial Grand Garden. Call if whenever you need me."Liam ended the call and tossed his phone into his pocket. He changed into simple clothes. Even though knowing full well he’d run into Jake and Nina today, the wedding barely crossed his mind. The past was the past.As he walked into the garage, his eyes swept over the sea of luxury cars.Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Mercedes… It could dazzle anyone who saw this scene.Not a single modest car in sight.Liam pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed. “Amnon… How many times have I told him to tone it down?”With no other choice, he hailed a cab.Not for long, the cab neared the Imperial Grand Garden. The driver let out a long whistle.It didn’t take long for Liam to reach the block near the Imperial Grand Garden. The driver mus

    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!"
