“Didn't you just hear that she's not interested?... Stop bothering us and get lost.” Ava said.“And if I don't want to?” Jared inquired.“Then don't blame me for making you regret it,” Lucas said as he shoved him back.How could he stand back and do nothing while some bastard was making a move on his girl?Seeing an opportunity to make a good impression on Celia after the unfortunate debacle at the auction, Lucas didn't hesitate to take it.‘You will be my path back into Celia's heart.’ Lucas thought as he came to stand between Celia and Jared.Jared chuckled, clearly amused by Lucas' bravado.“What's so funny, fucker?” Lucas asked, already preparing to utilize his power as a cultivator to land a devastating blow to defeat Jared.Jared replied with a smirk. “Isn’t it amusing watching a rat bear its fangs to a lion?”“Who are you calling a rat?” Lucas glared at Jared.“You, of course,” Jared said. “Bastard, you are asking for it!” Lucas bellowed as he threw a punch only for Jared to c

Everyone was stunned, save for a few who were aware of William's incredible skill.No one could have fathomed that he was so skilled, after all, this was beyond the realm of a normal martial artist.Even Lucas, who expected William to be beaten up for making the mistake of refusing Jared's offer, was unable to believe his eyes as he wondered how William could be so capable.Even more stunned than him was the sister duo, Celia and Ava, both of whom were still struggling to come to terms with what they'd seen. Meanwhile, for the first time since his arrival, Jared's calm facade was broken as he stared at his defeated subordinates.Only when William turned his attention to him did he take a step back in fright.“Just… who are you?”“My identity is of no consequence to you,” William replied as he took steady steps forward.“Stay away.”“Why though?” William asked, using the same tone Jared had utilized when speaking with Celia.Jared clenched his jaw at the subtle jab as he bellowed. “Be

William had just put the last of the kids to bed when he felt something causing his expression to shift.The enemy was close, and judging from the pull he felt, there was no doubt that there was a powerhouse.Of course, this didn't change the fact that William wasn't about to let them go scot-free.He walked into another room where he'd kept Jared tied up only to find Victoria seated across from Jared.“You are still here?” William asked in slight exasperation.“You never asked me to leave,” Victoria replied causing William to raise a brow.“... Well, you did but I don't plan to do so.”“Hah, what about Tanya?”“She left.”“She should have taken you along.”“Hey, don't be mean!”William rolled his eyes but decided not to pay any more attention to her.Only then did he notice that Celia, Ava, and Lucas were still around as well.William exchanged looks with Celia and for a moment, Celia wished that he would express worry for her just like he'd done for Victoria.But unfortunately, that

William got back into the welfare center only to discover Victoria, Celia, and Ava seated along with Mr. Kingsley.It seemed to calm them, he had decided to brew them some tea judging from the pleasant smell wafting through the air.The moment they discovered William, the three ladies got to their feet instantly.“William!” Victoria and Celia reacted almost at the same time but just as Celia felt like taking a step forward, Victoria crossed the distance and embraced William, catching everyone off guard.“I was really scared.” She breathed out as she held him tightly causing Celia to glare at her.William felt warm inside since it had been a while since someone showed such worry for him.“I'm okay, you don't have to worry.” He said as he patted her back.“Is the fighting over, Will?” Mr. Kingsley asked.He was perhaps the only one who never had any doubts that William would resolve the matter; after all, he was well aware of just what William was capable of.William nodded. “It is and

Roughly one hour later, William returned to Blue Sky with Lana, having already inspected the apartment.Though the antique nature of the apartment had been altered, William decided not to pick another one as in his eyes, the apartment was the best one Blue Sky had.He had just gotten a seat with Lana, about to join him for further discussions when one of the agents spoke up, addressing Lana. “Lana dear, are you done inspecting the best apartment we have to offer right now?”“Yes, Ms. Lewis,” Lana replied. “Look, dear, I don't want to criticize you, but not everyone who drops by can view the units here, let alone the best one we have to offer. The interior of the unit was already worth a ton before the recent renovations and even the renovations were carried out by a famous designer from overseas.”“I know that, Ms. Lewis.” “You are new, so you don't still understand some things, which is understandable, hence the reason I'm taking the time out to tell you this; you need a good eye i
