She watched Liam's face intently as she spoke, knowing all too well that once
upon a time, Liam's love for Clora was the talk of Drunham
City.
Liam was busy tidying Jovie's windswept hair at the entrance. Celena’s question
did not seem to faze him, and his gentle smile remained as he looked down at
Jovie's face with affection.
“It's not much of a connection. I just dug up some dirt on the Walkers and handed
it over to the police station. They've been itching to clamp down on the Walkers
for ages! The raid was just them dealing with years of the family’s shady
dealings.”
With that, Liam playfully poked Celena’s nose. “Forget about Clora. She’s gone,
and that's that. The important thing is you and Jovie are safe. Let's head inside,

first act upon entry was a crisp salute, followed by standing at attention before
Liam.
“Malcolm reporting, sir!” he announced, with a salute to the
commander-in-chief.
Despite his composed exterior, Malcolm was on edge. He was in the presence of
the legendary commander-in-chief, the feared leader of the Pendragon Warriors,
a name that sent shivers down the spines of
terrorists worldwide. A bead of sweat trickled down his forehead. Had
he been summoned because he had botched something with the Walker family’s
affairs?
“Malcolm, do you have control over the Walker family’s assets?” Liam inquired.
“Yes, sir! Do you have any instructions for me?” Malcolm responded,
his voice laced with caution.
Malcolm's heart raced with unease. The sheer force of Liam's
