"Ha! You finally lost, you bastard! Hahahahahah.", an unfamiliar voice entered Liam's ears.
"Yeah, he finally lost after betting so big. Heh, to think that he went on a win streak after betting his daughter. Though, he lost it all now hahahahah!", another unfamiliar voice said.
Liam clenched his fists, his fingers digging into the back of his palm aggressively but before he could kick the door open in anger, he controlled himself and took out his phone instead.
'There is still time before something bad actually happens and I won't get a better chance to get that asshole behind the bars.', he thought as he opened up the voice recorded and pressed on the record button before putting it back in his pocket.
This time, he heard a familiar gruff voice, "H- hey, I didn't lose it all yet! My house, money and my daughter might be gone but I can still get it all back. I'll put my wife as a bet this time! Let's go for another round.", he heard his father's desperate voice.
"Hah? Who would want that drug addicted bitch? She's like a rotten apple, full of wrinkles and rotten. We can sell your daughter for quite a large amount of Rudo ever after we have our fun with her.", another voice said and let out a playful snicker.
Liam on the other hand, stood calmly in front of the door while listening in on their conversation, this face expressionless under his makeshift mask.
Based on just their voices alone, he could tell that there were a total of four men including his father. The four of them argued for about five minutes before agreeing to let the miserable loser bet the only thing he had left, his wife.
Liam stood in place knowing that the three men were simply playing with his father. The entire fight about not agreeing to let him bet his wife was a total farce as Liam knew for a fact that his mother was one of the most prettiest women he had ever seen.
After all, his good looks came from her. She was addicted to drugs but she was still a pretty woman, though the only other problem with her was that she would do anything that her dear husband asked her to do even if it meant starving her own children.
He didn't have to wait much more since the game ended in just three minutes.
'Yeah, it is as expected. There is no need for them to boost his confidence anymore since the only thing he had left was mom. He's lost everything like the utter fool he is.', he thought as he pushed the door open.
In front of him were four men like he had expected and the room was filled with bottles of beer. Isis was tied up in the opposite corner while his mother seemed like she was fast asleep.
One of the men stood up angrily and stumbled towards Liam before using both of his hands to push him but to his surprise, Liam did not budge. He stood in place as he stared at the man in front of him.
While he really wanted to break open everyone's skills, he restrained himself as he knew that it wasn't a smart move. Even humans with top grade serum injected in them weren't free from the clutches of the laws. If he killed someone right now, he knew that he would have a team of government's strongest humans behind his back.
'I can get away with trespassing but if I kill someone, it'll be bad.', he thought as he took out his phone and stopped the recording before he played it for the ones in the room.
As they heard the contents, the expressions on their faces warped into fear and anger. The man who still had his palms on his shoulders took a step backwards after letting him go while the shortest of the three stood up and ran towards Liam with a knife in his hand.
"You spying bast-"
*Smack*
Liam slapped him with as less strength as he could as he still wasn't able to completely control his strength. Unfortunately, he had used a little too much force as the short guy stayed on the floor without getting up.
Looking at the guy's still moving chest, he let out a sigh of relief before shifting his attention to the others in the room but to his surprise, he suddenly felt immense pain at the left side of his torso. The third guy was up and standing with a wide grin on his face as he looked at Liam's stomach area.
'This bastard...', he cursed as he looked at the knife that was lodged in his torso. While it was extremely painful, he knew better than to pull it out.
The who had just thrown the knife at Liam dashed towards him at incredible speed and although Liam could follow his movements, he was still not used to his enhanced body. He effectively sidestepped, avoiding the guy but he used too much force, which sent him flying towards the wall, breaking it and injuring his shoulder in the process.
Clenching his jaw to keep himself from screaming due to the immense pain, he imitated what the guy had just done a second ago and crashed into him, his injured shoulder hitting the man square in the ribs, breaking them and sending him flying to the hallway.
Fallen beside the guy, Liam let out a loud grunt as he stood up. The knife had lodged itself deeper but the man beside him lay still. He was breathing but there were no other movements.
"H- hey, I surrender!", the last guy said as he raised his hands up.
Not wanting to deal with another guy, Liam nodded, "Sure. Turn around and face the wall if you don't want to get hurt like your friends here."
For every word he spoke, he felt his wound throb, sending waves of pain to his brain.
