“Apologies, sir; I hope I didn't keep you waiting?” The branch manager asked, maintaining his respectful tone while speaking to William.William replied. “No, you didn't.”“That's good. Would you like me to escort you to the special lounge?... I assure you it lives up to its title as a special lounge.”“Please do so,” William remarked.Unable to hold himself back any longer, Charles exploded. “What the hell is the meaning of this?... I said you should kick him out, why are you treating him like your boss?”“Because he is my boss.” The branch manager remarked causing Charles to freeze.“Wait what?”“Mister Belmont purchased the branch of Magnificent ten minutes ago. He is currently the new owner of this branch, which means it is no longer connected to the great Magnificent brand.”“Indeed.” William nodded. “Actually, I plan on renaming it. How does Will's Fun House sound?”“An excellent naming choice, sir!”“Thought so.”“Impossible!” Charles couldn't believe it.The same bastard that

“Enough with the small talk! I’m going to send you to hell!” Azrael shouted impatiently.He was dying to get his hands on William and cut him up into tiny pieces.William ignored Azrael’s taunts and walked up to him silently.Since Steve had specifically come for him, it was obvious that he wanted revenge for what had happened at the club.If so, William had no qualms about giving him what he wanted.“Punk! Was it you who killed my apprentices?” Azrael glared at William with hostility.“They were asking for it,” William answered carelessly.“You still dare to deny it at this last moment of your life? Today, I am going to exact revenge for the death of my apprentices!” Azrael’s face twisted with hatred.“Sure, this depends on your abilities.” William was unaffected by Azrael’s threats.“Arrogant punk! I’m going to wipe you from the face of the earth!” Azrael roared.He concentrated the force in his feet and sprinted toward William with a burst of sudden energy.His movements were as fa

Meanwhile, in VIP room 1, Lucas was seething as he watched someone top his bid.He was a member of the Gray family, owners of Gray Inc., a company that had its hands in several lucrative businesses.However, that wasn't what stood out the most about them.Instead, they were similar to the Khan family in that their current success was directly tied to their relationship with the supernatural. Unlike the Khans, who were healers, the Gray family were Combatants, with most members of the family either becoming military men or martial arts masters.As a member of such a prestigious family, Lucas was naturally arrogant and was not one who appreciated people competing with him. He initially came for a different artifact and so hoped to get the Martial Technique as a plus but now, he either had to choose between the technique or his initial target.It annoyed him but he had to take a step back, but that didn't mean he was going to let the culprit that stole the technique go scot-free."Call

William was unable to get the car under control before it rushed into a large forest was what awaited him.The car tumbled as it fell into the forest, William and Zara holding on for dear life while the latter screamed at the top of her lungs.Once it had finally stopped, William immediately got out of the car as he noticed that the car was about to blow.After he'd got out, he helped Zara out and then took the valuables in the car before fleeing deeper into the woods to avoid detection by those who were chasing them.A moment later, his car exploded.William's pursuers stopped at the place he'd tumbled from with one in particular taking out a phone to make a call."Yes boss, we have them cornered.""Good, make sure to get the artifacts undamaged and kill that bastard!""On it, boss." Maverick nodded as he ended the call before gesturing to his best tracker to follow him.It didn't take long before the tracker found William waiting next to a stream with Zara nowhere in sight.William

“What about you?” Zara asked.“I have some scores to settle.” William resolutely replied.“Let me come with you.” Zara insisted. “Please.”Letting out a sigh, William nodded. “Fine then.”Then, he took out his phone and called John to find Lucas's current location.It didn't take long for the information to get back to him.Due to his close relationship with one of his uncles who owned a casino named Graystone, Lucas usually frequented it, and currently, that was where William would find him. With that understanding, William left with Zara. After half an hour, William and Zara arrived at GrayStone which John had mentioned.Lights of every color shined in this part of Avalon, signaling the start of the resident's nightlife. This place was known to be the headquarters of Avalon Gambling.The nightclub was built beneath the ground and it was a huge place where both men and women would spend their time.Many women had gained a life of riches being here, while some had lost the most pre
