Having wandered around for so long, he had experienced many odd adventures that he
simply couldn’t ever finish talking about. He always thought that he would be able to face
this woman with a calm heart since he had endured quite a bit of training.
However, at this very moment, his heart couldn’t help but flutter uncontrollably.
“Hey, I showed you how much I missed you! And all I get is a long time no see? Come on,
dude!” Renee was still quite overwhelmed, with tears in her eyes.
She had so many things she wanted to say to Liam, but the man’s indifference made it feel
as if he didn’t want to talk to her at all, which made her rather disappointed.
After all, Liam was one of the few people who truly understood her. He was practically her
soulmate, someone she could speak to day and night.
“Sorry, Boss. Leia told me everything that happened. I’m sorry I came so late. You must’ve
suffered so much...” Liam’s eyes reddened as he responded.
In actuality, he was very excited to see her, and he had so many things to tell her too. He
just... felt rather guilty for not being there, especially about Renee’s painful relationship with
Stefan. As if it were his own pain, his heart genuinely ached for the woman.
“I thought you’d be able to get your happy ever after with him once I left. Looks like I was
just being... too idealistic.” Liam sighed deeply. “I guess we just can’t control everything that
happens in life. Fate is as such.”
His trip was able to broaden his horizon greatly, which helped shape his personality further.
He was now much more mature than before, speaking as if he held great wisdom.
“Yeah, fate is as such. We are all prisoners to fate, and it is inevitable.” Renee hugged him
tighter as she recounted her past experiences.
‘I knew Liam would understand me!’
On the other hand, Quinton’s expression darkened as he continued watching on. He then
approached them with a frown, placing his hand on the man’s shoulder. “Hey, this is my
sister. Don’t you think you’ve hugged her enough?”
Liam smiled brightly as soon as he saw the masked man. “Ah, Mr. Quinton, the infamous
Night Demon! The one and only man who nearly murdered the head of the Hunt family!
What an honor to meet you!”
“Ha, looks like you know how to talk sweet. It’s a shame I never liked people who kiss *ss.
Why don’t you show me your true strength instead?” Quinton taunted as he clenched onto
the man’s shoulder. “Come, fight with me.”
Renee slapped her forehead out of embarrassment. “Quinton, don’t be like this. This is
Liam’s party, for crying out loud. Why did you ask for a fight out of nowhere?”
“It’s okay. Since he’s your brother, Boss, that means he’s my brother too. It’s only fair to
show him my strength.” Liam seemed open-minded, agreeing to the fight right away.
With that, the two started sparring in the middle of the hall.
Worried, Leia grabbed Renee’s arm anxiously. “Ren, nothing bad’s going to happen, right?
Why are they fighting all of a sudden?”
“It won’t,” Renee replied confidently. “Don’t worry. There’s no way Liam can handle my
brother. The fight will end within three moves.”
Both Quinton and Renee were descendants of General Maurice Everheart, after all, hence
were naturally gifted in martial arts and strength.
Knowing Liam, who was all brain and no brawn, she had no doubt that this would be an
easy fight.
However, as another few minutes passed, Renee was absolutely shocked...
