After a brief moment's contemplation, Celena quickly changed her clothes and stormed out of her room, ignoring Calum's resistance and instead saying, "I can't stop worrying about Liam. Don't try to stop me. Just promise me you'll stay here and keep an eye on Jovie. I'll be back soon! If Liam comes back, just tell him to take good care of Jovie, and tell him that I don't hate him!" With that, she hailed a taxi and told the driver, "Sir, please bring me to Stone Mansion in the Uptown Area!" Celena knew just how much power the Walkers held over the entire Drunham City. Seven years ago she had already witnessed just how malicious the Walkers were capable of being, and now that seven years had passed and the Walkers were even more powerful than ever, Celena knew she had no choice but to seek refuge from the Stones. Although the Stones were technically a smaller family than the Walkers, and she was banished from the family seven years ago, Celena had to give it a try despite the minusc

At this exact moment, Liam arrived just in time to see Cheryl slapping Celena across the face and Celena slumping onto the ground in a crumpled heap. He felt his blood boil and wanted nothing more than to snap Cheryl's arm right in half. The moment he saw that, he leaped out of the car before it even stopped and sprinted toward them. No one was allowed to treat Celena like this! Cheryl raised her arm above her head, poised to give another slap, when all of a sudden someone swatted her arm away so forcefully that she staggered backward. Finally, she lost her balance and plopped onto the ground, right in the middle of the puddle of wastewater! "Ahhh—" she shrieked in disgust. Her hands were now covered in wastewater, and she was even more infuriated by the sight of Jacob standing to one side, his mouth agape in shock. "Are you an idiot? How can you stand there like that while someone else picks on your girlfriend?" Jacob finally snapped out of his stupor. He stared at Cheryl, w

With Dr. Jensen's help and the aid of the best medicine around, Trent's wounds healed beautifully, and every day, just on the verge of them healing, Liam would send someone to peel them wide open again with a blunt dagger! Wails of agony echoed through the mansion day after day. The excruciating pain made Trent want to curl up and die, but he was now paralyzed in all four limbs and had no way of moving at all. He could power through the pain initially, but as the days went by, he finally could not stand it anymore and pleaded for mercy. "I'm sorry… I know what I've done… I will never do it again… Please let me go… I'll give you money in exchange for letting me go… Please…" However, everyone ignored him. Dr. Jensen continued to tend to him every day, and his wounds continued to be peeled open again and again. Calum even saw to the task himself sometimes and subconsciously stuck the dagger in even deeper at the thought of Jovie not being able to walk again someday. "Ahhhh—" Trent

At this exact moment, the Igragon already gathered and were collectively on their way to Drunham City. Louie, too, finished settling his affairs in Athenapolis and was making his way there. The Igragon were such a large group of warriors that naturally, their presence caught the attention of the Federal Aviation Department, who quickly relayed the message to the various branches of the Igragon's journey. Everyone in the Federal Aviation Department was wondering whether something terrible happened in Drunham City that required the Igragon's intervention. They sent their people out to find out if anything was wrong in Drunham City, but sadly their searches were futile. No one knew what the Igragon were there for; all that was known was their destination. Liam returned to the living room of Jade Manor, where Albert waited. He leaped to his feet and reported to Liam, "Sir, the Pendragon and Igragon Warriors are all ready for battle. The first elite Igragon team arrived in Drunham Cit

Morgan hesitated for a moment, then turned to Jonas and said, "Jonas, gather the men, including the rest of the brothers—the more the merrier! Also, get in touch with those two in the gangs and tell them I need their help! They'll be more than willing to lend a helping hand!" Jonas replied, "Morgan, I've already done that. I've already gathered about two thousand people, and if we add on the two brothers, we might be able to get an extra thousand or so men!" Morgan nodded in approval. All of a sudden, he recalled that the Walkers still had about a dozen or so men amid training to be martial artists and called out after Jonas, "Jonas, summon the martial artists back to Drunham City. They need to be here tomorrow!" Jonas nodded and left to carry out his tasks! "Hans, get on top of our financial assets and prepare some liquid assets for the upcoming battle. Also, notify the Stones of what we're going to do and request as much help as we can from them. Get in touch with the other f
