Chapter 2170 Liam watched Amber leave; he could still hear what she had just said, claiming that he should spend the rest of his life alone. It made him emotional.
Yes, he loved freedom and disliked being bound. It might be his destiny because the opposite of freedom was loneliness.
He shook his head and took a few deep breaths, trying to make himself sober with the cold night breeze.
Amber might not be a part of his life. He would leave the fort sooner or later. The most important thing was to leave the fort smoothly with Renee and Leia.

When Liam thought of it that way, he was no longer gloomy. He was finally enlightened, and smiled.
"Don't be a busybody, Liam! You never stop for any interlude!" Amber was never his in the first place. He believed that his displeasure was because of his despicable possessiveness over someone who had once admired him deeply.
He staggered back to his bedroom and dozed off in bed.
These days, Benjamin had pressured him into fighting for territories against the Jenkinses' powerful opponents. He nearly got killed several times, and was exhausted. With how tired he was, he easily fell asleep. Upon returning to the fort, Mateo suddenly made a scene and infuriated him. He had the extrurge to bomb the entire fort and get it over with.
"Liam, save us!" In a trance, Liam suddenly saw Leia's terrified face. He abruptly woke up and leaped in bed.
"Something's wrong!" Liam frowned as his heart raced. An ominous feeling gripped him. He and Leia had been close since childhood, and they had something akin to telepathy. At that time, he could feel that Leia was in great danger-something might have happened to her.
Without any delay, he quickly got out of bed and grabbed a jacket before rushing to the cell where Leia and Renee were imprisoned.
However, the previously relaxed security had turned strict. Something extraordinary must have happened. The armed leader saw Liam walk over angrily and stopped right before him. "Mr. Osborne, it's such a late hour. May I know what you're doing here?" "Get out of the way!" Liam instructed fiercely, his face stormy.

"Mr. Osborne, we were informed to lock the entire third jail. Without Mr.
Jenkins' pass, no one can go in. Please don't make things difficult for us," the leader said respectfully, though his arrogance was evident. "Stop pretending, Andrew!" Liam glared at Andrew Elrod and mocked him, "You're Mateo's lapdog, but you suddenly brought up Mr. Jenkins. Are you trying to putdown?"
Benjamin held absolute power in the fort, but there were many different Ο forces within. Although Liam and Mateo acted like brothers on the surface, they fought each other in secret. Andrew was Mateo's most capable subordinate. Most of the time, he would do things for Mateo if it was inconvenient for the latter to step forward.
Liam was no fool, either. Since Andrew was there to stop him from going in, it could only be Mateo's order rather than Benjamin's.
"Mr. Osborne. Regardless of what you say, that's my order. No one can go into the third jail. Those who break the rules will be punished severely, Andrew said with a fake smile. "Hmph! Severely?" Liam scoffed. "Why don't you showjust how severe?"
