Just as the guards were closing in on Liam and Celena, someone suddenly shouted coming from the back, "Stop!"Mr. Dixon and the guards were all stunned. They turned around and saw Yousef walking toward them with Rebecca.Seeing that the man approaching them was Yousef, Mr. Dixon immediately smiled to fawn over him. He quickly said with a grin, "Mr. Yousef Bristow, is there anything I can help you with? If you have any order, you just say the word and our servers will help you."Before he finished his sentence, Yousef was already standing right before him, looking furious. However, Mr. Dixon was bowing his head so low that he did not notice any of this. All he could think of was to grovel at Yousef's feet as he knew that Yousef was one of the shareholders of The Grand Crown. This was his boss, so naturally, he had to be his best self!The Grand Crown had branches all over the state. If he could be noticed by Yousef and be promoted to the general manager.At this thought, Mr. Dixo
"How dare you look down upon the heroes who helped build Biskeland? Were your forefathers not poor? What gives you the audacity to look down on poor people?”Liam's words echoed through the lobby of The Grand Crown.After hearing what Liam said, Mr. Dixon was so scared that he could only kneel and beg for forgiveness in a panic. Yousef was standing at the side, looking displeased. He looked angrily at Mr. Dixon and said, "Mr. Dixon, you're a manager, yet you don't even know the basic principle of respecting your guests. From this moment on, you're no longer the manager of The Grand Crown, and you're to greet all guests at the door. It's time for you to learn your etiquette properly!"Mr. Dixon looked ashen as he heard the verdict, but all he could do was continue to beg for forgiveness. After finishing what he had to say, Yousef looked toward Liam with a smile and asked, "Mr. Cole, are you satisfied with how I handled this?"Initially, Liam did not intend to press on further. H
Liam simply smiled but did not say anything in response. Instead, it was Yousef who glanced around the room before beckoning them over, with the widest grin one could ever lay eyes on. "Come, sit. We'll talk about this over some food!"As soon as they took their seats, Yousef raised his glass and declared, "Mr. and Mrs. Cole, I would like to apologize on behalf of my foolish son. Once again his arrogance has gotten him into trouble, and I should've raised him better. Please forgive him!"Then, he brought the glass to his lips and downed the contents without a moment's hesitation.Rebecca raised her glass as well and turned to Celena. "Mrs. Cole, I'm so sorry for what my son did to you. This is all my fault. I had spoiled and enabled him all his life, and now he's grown into a foolish man with no regard for right or wrong. I would like to sincerely apologize to you for this, Mrs. Cole, but I hope you find it within you to forgive him. You are a mother as well, after all, so surely yo
Yousef suddenly recalled the fact that he had indeed done so as Liam described, but he had been at the front whereas Liam was behind him, so how could he even notice that?As puzzled as Yousef was, he did not spend much time on it. Instead, he gazed at Liam with a searching look and said, "I see. Well, I guess I had indeed underestimated you, which brings me to another question—it's rare to come across someone with such sharp observation skills. Not even the best of warriors possess such a keen perception. Are you telling the truth about being an unemployed son-in-law of the Stones?"Liam was not even fazed by this. "Of course!"Yousef nodded, then took a sip from his wine and said, cutting straight to the chase, "Very well then, Mr. Cole. I won't beat around the bush anymore. Are you going to withdraw the case from court or not?"Liam was rather amused to see such a dramatic change in Yousef's demeanor within seconds. He smirked and replied, "Mr. Bristow, my wife and I had come he
Yousef, who was sitting at the head of the table, lit a cigar, and took a puff from it. He sneered at Liam through the smoke. "Liam, I had no intention of using violence against you tonight. I will be more than willing to let you off the hook if you decide to withdraw my son's case. If not, I'm afraid neither of you will be able to walk out of here alive. In fact, I think your adorable little daughter would make a good dinner for the fish in the lakes as well."Of course, it would not be hard getting rid of you. As long as the both of you die, there will no longer be any witnesses for my son's case, and it will simply take a few dollar bills to bail my son out of jail."Let me give you a piece of advice, Liam. You need to recognize when you are given a valuable opportunity and seize it. What you choose today can decide your entire family's fate, so choose wisely." Yousef's threat was laced with malice. It was clear that Liam and Celena would not be able to walk out of there alive s
Celena tugged on Liam's arm and whispered, "Liam, maybe… maybe it's not a good idea to cross the Bristow family. Come on, let's get this over with… I'm fine, anyway, I…"Yousef was delighted to hear this. A grin spread across his face as he said, "What a wise decision, indeed, Mrs. Cole. How about you, Mr. Cole? You should really think long and hard about this. Perhaps you might think crossing us is no big deal, but what about your wife and children? You need to take them into consideration as well, right? Are you sure you want to put your entire family in danger by crossing us?"Liam gently patted Celena's clammy, trembling hand in reassurance, then lifted his head to meet Yousef's gaze. "Is that so? What if I choose neither of these options?"Yousef's expression darkened, his fury evident in his dark, penetrating eyes. A surge of menacing power surged around him as he snarled, "I see you are prepared to become fish food along with your wife and daughter!"Liam shook his head, smi
"My hand! Ahhh!""My hand!""He broke my hand!"The three of them cried out in agony, but before they knew it, Liam cocked his fists and brought them down squarely on the two chests, while at the same time kicking the third with his foot. The three of them sailed through the air, crashed into the wall on the far side of the room, and finally landed in a crumpled heap on the ground. Their crash sent a crack running straight through the wall, and in a split second, the paintings on the wall fell from their hooks, landing on the three men in a shattered mess. The three men, however, had already passed out from their impact and were no longer breathing!All the remaining gangsters looked on in horror, then turned to Liam with bloodshot eyes. A bald, burly man in the lead let out a cry of fury, then raised his dagger above his head and lumbered straight toward Liam. "Let's get him! He can't get away with killing our comrades like this! Get him!"The gangsters all lunged toward Liam
No one could face the King Pendragon's wrath and live to tell the tale! Not to mention these thugs who had the audacity to attack Celena while his back was turned!None of the remaining surviving gangsters dared to even make a move. Instead, they all stood there in bewilderment, peering at Liam with frightened looks. The entire room fell into an eerie silence. Yousef stared at the scene before him in utter disbelief as the metallic smell of blood engulfed his senses. He gulped as he stared around him at the limp, lifeless bodies on the ground. Within just a few minutes, over half of his men had died before his eyes!Yousef glared at Liam with bloodshot eyes, refusing to admit defeat. He shouted at the rest of his men, "Kill him! Whoever kills him gets two hundred thousand dollars as a reward from me!"Indeed, money was the greatest motivator!The remaining dozen or so gangsters all straightened up when they heard this, their greed overpowering their fear. They raised their da
