2025-02-26 21:08:56"Pizza delivery!"
Liam called out, knocked on the door of the hotel, wipping the sweat dripping from his forehead.
After finishing this delivery, he would rush home to prepare dinner for his wife, Nina. She told him she had to work overtime again.
At this thought of her, despite being exhausted, Liam still showed a contented smile.
The door swung open with a quiet creak, "That was fast..."
The voice cut off abruptly. When their eyes met, Liam's breath hitched.
Because it was Nina.
His 5-year-long wife, who was supposed be in the office, now was wearing a sexy dress in this hotel room.
"What are you doing here, Nina?" Liam asked, his voice hoarse. His pulse pounded in his ears.
It was quite obvious. What other answer could there be when a woman in lingerie was in a hotel room?!
...But for one stupid, desperate second, Liam clung to the possibility that there was an explanation.
At the very first moment, Nina looked utterly stunned. She instinctively raised her hand to cover her chest… yet, no matter how hard she tried, her cleavage was still exposed like a deep canyon.
Her dress was so short that it left almost nothing to the imagination.
"Babe! Pizza is here?! Did they bring the thing I ask? "
A man wearing nothing but underwear appeared behind her. He naturally pulled half-naked Nina into his arms.
Here's the answer.
Liam’s grip on the box tightened. His knuckles went white.
"Nina, who the hell is him?"
Nina’s eyes darted away, avoiding his gaze.
The guy looked as if he had just noticed Liam. He sized him up and down, then suddenly flashed a smirk that made Liam’s fists itch.
"Shit, you must be Liam. Nina’s loser husband!”
"You asked who I am? I’m Jake Johnson! The heir to the Johnson family, one of the richest in Riverside City!"
“Just go keep delivering. When we're done, you can come pick up your wife."
“Now give me the damn pizza and the thing your boss asked you to buy.”
Liam’s stomach lurched. That THING.
His boss had told him to buy a SEX TOY from the store on his way here.
Said the customer promised a fat tip.
He never expected the "customer" to be his wife.
Something inside Liam cracked. He instinctively reached out her hand, "Nina—"
But Nina just yanked her hand out of Liam's grip like his touch disgusted her.
She wiped her palm on her dress. Her voice was cold, distant.
"Since you already saw everything, there's no point in pretending anymore."
She regained her composure, crossed her arms, looking at him like he was an inconvenience.
"You heard him, Jake is the one I've been looking for. My dream lover. You are just a broke dog running days and night. There's nothing you can compare with him."
"Let’s end this cleanly, I want a divorce."
The words hit Liam like a sucker punch to the gut.
"...You want a divorce?" Liam repeated, barely recognizing his own voice, "You're leaving me just because he is richer? A fucking heir of a whatever family?"
Nina rolled her eyes, clearly exasperated.
"It's Johnson family! A RICHEST family! I'm not surprised a poor like you never heard of them."
"I’m the CEO of Nova Group. A billion-dollar company! And you’re just a pizza guy!"
"Jake deserves me! You don't! Get it?"
Liam stared at her, trying to reconcile this woman with the one he had once known.
The woman who used to hold his hand and whisper about building a future together.
The woman who used to laugh with him over cheap can food, swearing they’d make it, no matter what.
- In richer or poorer, as long as we both shall live.
Bullshit.
Liam's voice turned raw.
"Nina. When you started your company, I gave you every last dime I had."
"I worked their ass off, rain and snow; I cooked, cleaned, took care of everything for you everyday."
He flashed a mocking smile, “And now, just because I don’t wear a suit and drive a sports car, I’m nothing to you?"
Nina laughed. Her voice was flat, as if emotions were a waste of her time.
"Everyone wants more money. What’s wrong with me? I just love the better life you can't give me."
Jake beside her burst into laughter.
“Exactly, douche head! I can give Nina billion-dollar deals! What can you give her? A two-for-one pizza coupon?"
Liam took a step back. His expression darkened.
"I never imagine you're such a gold digger."
"If it weren’t for you saying you wanted to marry someone ‘on the same level,’ I wouldn’t have hidden who I really am...."
CRACK!
Before he could finish, Nina’s hand lashed out, slapping him hard across the face.
The sharp sound echoed through the hallway.
"Just sign the divorce papers and fuck off!" she snapped, "Gross! Stop hounding me!"
Liam barely felt the sting on his cheek. The ache in his chest drowned out everything else. Slowly, he touched where she slapped, let out a quiet, hollow chuckle.
"That's it."
"I hope you get everything you’re chasing, Nina"
His eyes, once filled with warmth for her, turned icy cold.
"But don’t come crawling back when you realize what you lost."

Liam stood in the dimly lit hotel hallway. He stared at the divorce papers in his hands. They felt heavier than they should have.How long had she been carrying them around? Had she planned to blindside him over dinner after a good sex here?Well, the surprise came early.Without another moment of hesitation, he signed his name at the bottom. Each stroke of the pen felt like carving his own tombstone."Great!" Nina smirked as Liam finished the signature. "We’re done."She took out her checkbook. She casually wrote down a few numbers and handed it to Liam."Take it. Leave with your mouth shut. Consider it my final act of kindness. You poor, broke loser.""After all, I'm getting much richer than I've ever been! Oh god, how generous I am."She tilted her head.

Liam rubbed his temples and waved a dismissive hand."Alright, alright. I'm glad you didn't really do that... Make big moves in silence. That’s how we do things.”“And Amnon, thanks for holding down the fort these past five years. I know it wasn’t easy."Since Liam was gone, Amnon had been taking care of his business.Beneath his greasy delivery uniform, Liam was actually the heir to one of the world’s most powerful hidden families.He had inherited control at just thirteen. And in five years, he turned the family into a global force that operated in the shadows. Its wealth so vast it didn’t even appear on Forbes’ lists. Because Forbes couldn’t measure infinity.Amnon smiled warmly. "Young Master, you’ve lost weight, got tanner… but your eyes are sharper than ever!"Liam chuckled, clapping Amnon on the shoulder."Stop trying to make me feel better. Five years in the trenches will do that to any man.”“Now that I’m back, it’s time to visit the company.”“Oh, and handle the photos and

For years, Nina never let Liam touch her, let alone sleep with him. She always had an excuse. “Not in the mood”. “Tired”. “Didn’t want a baby”…Turned out, she just couldn’t stand him.But another man? She’d spread her legs in a heartbeat.Liam’s gaze darkened. Nina caught it. She quickly looked away, snuggling deeper into Jake’s arms.Jake smirked. His voice rang out, dripping with mockery.“Well, well. Look who it is. The loser husband again!”“Can’t get rid of you, huh? Running into you here of all places? TitanCorp’s got standards, man. You’re bringing down the vibe!”“What the hell are you still doing here? Get lost before I call the security!”Emily widened her eyes at the scene. She turned to Nina, her tone filled with disbelief.“Nina, Liam is your husband! And you're just gonna stand there while this guy humiliates him?”Nina’s jaw tightened, a flicker of irritation crossing her face. Then, she scoffed.“Ex-husband, thank you very much.”“And honestly?

Jake’s smile faltered for a split second. Then he let out a sharp laugh."Liam, you’re out of your damn mind.""You, a pizza delivery guy, dare to talk like this? Acting as if Titan Corp is your company.""Feels like if I say another word to you, my brain will turn as dumb as yours!"Nina also rolled her eyes."My god, Liam, is the impact of our divorce that big? Did it turn you into a madman?""C'mon, babe. Let's go quickly. We have to celebrate tonight!"They turned on their heel, the sound of expensive shoes clicking sharply against the marble floor.Clearly not believe a word Liam said. Emily stood by Liam's side, her eyes locked on the retreating pair. She hesitated for a second, and finally patted Liam’s shoulder awkwardly. “There are… plenty of fish in the sea. A good man like you will find someone better.”Liam looked at her, surprise flickering in his eyes for a brief moment.Emily, the privileged heiress who’d never known a world outside of luxury, was offering him comfor

"Is it really true, as Jake Johnson said? You helped them secure the deal because you're close to him?"Under Liam's sharp gaze, Timothy's stomach dropped."Absolutely not! Young master," he immediately answered, "I have no personal connection with Mr. Johnson!""This deal is already in the process of being canceled; it's just that they haven't been notified yet.""I will inform them immediately that the deal is over!""And Nova Group will be blacklisted from collaborations with Titan Corp."Liam’s stare was ice. “Consider this your last warning.”Timothy swallowed hard. He nodded furiously, his head moving up and down like a jackhammer.As Liam walked away, Timothy turned to his assistants.“What are you waiting for? Cancel everything with Nova Group!” "From now on, they're no longer welcome! And no more any special treatment!"After giving the order, Timothy muttered to himself, "Without the Young Master's backing, Nova Group is just another ordinary company...""That woman, Nina.

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.

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!

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!"
