When Marvin and Madeline walked over earlier, Celena seemed to be trying on a bracelet. She looked like she loved the bracelet very much, but she did not get it in the end.Marvin looked at Liam, who was standing next to Celena and dressed in ordinary clothes. He was a man who could not afford to get his wife a bracelet that she liked. What was the point of having a man like him?Thinking of that filled Marvin's eyes with disdain as he looked at Liam.In any case, Marvin took a fancy to Celena. Liam looked like a poor man, so Marvin did not take him seriously at all.Celena was frightened by Marvin's gaze, so she grabbed Liam's arm and took a couple of steps back.Madeline, on the other hand, was filled with excitement. She hugged and kissed Marvin happily, and then she ran toward the counter of the jewelry store to start picking out something.Madeline wanted to get a new necklace, so as soon as she got to the counter, she pointed at a few diamond necklaces and said, "Let me try
Celena was truly infuriated.She had a feeling earlier that the way Marvin looked at her was strange. She did not expect that he would have such a nasty thought.Did he think that all the women in the world were materialistic? Celena glared at Marvin angrily, and then she grabbed Liam's arm, wanting to leave.However, Marvin still refused to back down. He took a step forward and continued, "Ms. Stone, what are you talking about? Is there some misunderstanding between us?"Marvin saw that was still burning with anger after he said that. He put his hand on his bulging belly and said with a smile, "Ms. Stone, it's a misunderstanding. I know what I said earlier was a little inappropriate. I apologize."How about this? I'll buy you the bracelet you were looking at earlier. Just take it that it's a gift from me. What do you think?"Marvin said he was sorry, but he did not look apologetic at all. He was still surveying Celena's body with a lustful gaze.Celena was an easygoing person
Celena did not expect Marvin would be so shameless and say such an outrageous thing, so much so that she almost blew her lid.Celena looked sullen and was shaking all over because of the rage she felt.At that moment, Liam, who stood quietly next to Celena, suddenly asked, "Can't afford it? How do you know I can't afford to give her a gift?"Marvin was surprised that Liam would have the guts to fight back. He was stunned at first, then a disdainful sneer appeared on his face. He looked at Liam viciously and said, "Hmph! How interesting! You sound like you want to compete with me. "I'm fine with anything. If a competition is what you want, I don't mind it." Liam replied calmly.Marvin was so pissed off that he laughed upon hearing that. "You're quite a bold one, aren't you? I'm not as rich as those eminent families in Drunham City, and I can't compete with those powerful companies, but I'm not doing too badly myself."With the company and those factories under my name combined, m
Liam was frowning, but he was unfazed. Looking straight at Marvin, he asked, "Just a few million dollars?"It sounded as if he was surprised that Marvin's net worth was just a few million dollars and thought it was too little.Marvin was stunned. He did not expect that a poor fellow like Liam would ask such a question. Could it be that a few million dollars was peanuts to him?However, Liam was a poor man who could not even afford to buy his wife a bracelet that cost a few thousand dollars. How could he have the confidence to tell such lies?A ferocious expression appeared on Marvin's face as he was infuriated. He looked at Liam's frosty gaze and said, "What's the matter? It sounds like you think a few million dollars is too little. You're a poor bastard from the working class. How could you have the confidence to say such a thing? "Since you think my net worth is too little, tell us about your net worth, then. I don't think you're going to be able to come up with seven hundred d
Marvin sneered and said, "Hmph! What could you possibly have? Besides, what could be compared to a few million dollars?"Liam stood in place calmly and said, "The Pendragon Warriors."His words stunned all the onlookers.Celena, who was standing next to Liam, was shocked, and she quickly turned to look at Liam's profile.Did she hear it right? Liam did mention the Pendragon Warriors earlier, did he not?Marvin was dumbfounded, thinking that he misheard Liam. Looking at Liam with suspicion, Marvin tried to get confirmation, asking, "What did you say? Pen-Pendragon Warriors? The one from the Pendragon War Zone?"Liam did not answer him. Instead, he asked in return calmly, "What's the matter? Is that not enough?"Marvin burst out laughing so hard he was almost in tears as if he heard a hilarious joke. "Kid, are you joking? Do you know what you're talking about? Pendragon Warriors? Everybody knew the Pendragon Warriors. Do you think I'll be scared just because you mention them?"Ar
Liam's gaze was incredibly frosty as he looked at Marvin, who was on his knees. Then, in an icy tone, Liam said, "Marvin, do you admit that you were wrong?"Those few words frightened Marvin so much that colors drained from his face and he could not stop trembling violently."Yes, I do. I was wrong. Please spare my life. It's my fault for running my mouth. I shouldn't have said those things. Please have mercy on me."Marvin kept begging Liam for forgiveness, slapping himself violently with every sentence he said.In that instant, the sound of Marvin slapping himself echoed through the entrance of the jewelry store.At first, there were only a few passersby who were standing around to watch. However, once Marvin started slapping himself, he attracted even more attention. Because of that, the customers in the jewelry store and the stores nearby came over to watch as well.Some of the onlookers who just arrived knew Marvin. They were shocked when they saw Marvin on his knees, slappi
"Liam, what are you hiding from me? Why are you refusing to tell me? Aren't you husband? Why are you always not telling me the truth?"The hint of grievance that she felt was intensified as she spoke, so much so that tears were welling in her eyes and she had a catch in her throat.Seeing that, Liam quickly walked up to her and held her hand. He was serious as he gazed into Celena's bloodshot eyes and said, "Celena, I'm not lying. What I said was true. I know Marvin is somebody that we can't afford to piss off. That was why I used King Pendragon's name to frighten him. I'm not lying to you."Liam let go of Celena's hand and gently wiped off the tears in the corner of her. Then, he took out the token that was emerald in color and handed it to her."Here. Look. This is the token earlier. This is indeed equivalent to a commander's order. But this is also a medal of honor. "Like I said before, I was a soldier in the Pendragon War Zone, and I've made some outstanding contributions. Be
Celena's eyes widened as she carried Jovie in her arms, watching as the truck came right at her. She stood in place as if her legs were cemented to the ground.Right as the big truck was almost about to approach Celena, an aggressive figure lunged at her, tackling her out of the way.At that moment, the truck that lost control sped past the spot Celena was standing earlier, running through the landscape by the road and crashing into a store by the street.The truck happened to crash into the glass window of the store, shattering it. The truck then drove straight into the store.There were a few pedestrians in front of the store and by the street. They could not dodge in time, so many people were injured by the truck. They were all lying on the ground all covered in blood and wailing.The alarm of the store was going off and the surroundings were filled with screams and wails. The situation became incredibly messy.After Liam tackled Celena and Jovie, he made a turn mid-air and pu
