William remained calm as he took Victoria's hand and prepared to move away, however, Aston was unwilling to let the matter slide as he stood in his way.“You dare leave after insulting my image before these many people?”“You insulted yourself, don't make things harder than they are supposed to be.”“Do you think yourself worthy of such a price?... Don't flatter yourself, Mr. Belmont, you shouldn't even be here if not for the foolishness of a few.”William ignored his words and once again tried to leave; unfortunately, Aston remained the ever-stubborn party.“Will you not move?” William inquired.Aston snorted as he spat coldly. “I challenge you to combat. Do you dare accept?”William remained silent, merely holding Aston's gaze as he contemplated the best way to teach the imbecile a lesson.Just then, Mr. Lincoln, the head of the Lincoln family, stepped forward.“Aston, back down.” He remarked, to the surprise of many present. As a proud family leader, one would think he would even

With each ingredient William touched, the poison was cleansed and the ingredient improved to a whole new level of tastefulness.Then, William began to work.However, by now, 3 minutes had already been expended with Caleb far ahead of him, but William didn't panic and moved at a leisurely pace, clearly enjoying the preparations.Soon enough, the meals were prepared, with Caleb finishing first and William completing his two minutes later.Caleb grinned triumphantly while also mocking William inwardly.'I actually thought you noticed the minute traces of poison in the ingredients which was why you didn't dare to cook. If you had decided not to cook, it would have been a means to humiliate you but I guess your pride made you unwilling to back down. Now you'll see, your actions will mark you down as an enemy for life.’A group of judges were picked out, each one a member of the upper echelons of the gathering with Zayn and Omar among the judges.Even Mr. Lincoln was there along with two ot

Snape never expected that he would not even have a chance to fight back.He was killed by his opponent in a mere second!“You are too weak!” William sneered coldly as he flung him away as if he were throwing a piece of trash.He said it in a low voice, but his words were as loud as thunder in the ears of the middle-aged Omar.Omar had seen countless powerful men in his life but he had never seen a cultivator at the sixth stage killed so quickly that he didn't even get a chance to fight back!He died even worse than a chicken!The whole process was so swift that Omar wasn't even able to be of any use.He stared at William in horror as he thought to himself. “Don't tell me this bastard has long since surpassed the sixth stage?’In the cultivation world, all cultivators went through stages, with each stage providing them with an exponential boost in power.The first ten stages were considered the toughest to get through, and due to the sparse spiritual energy in the current world, very f

William swiftly found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place as he was attacked on two fronts.On one end were armed guards, all of whom were cultivators and carried guns loaded with spiritual bullets, and on the other end was Omar, who had decided to launch a final attack in a bid to ensure mutual destruction. William didn't dare to underestimate either of the attacks as he understood that a simple mistake was enough to make a great giant.For him, he couldn't risk dying, not yet… not when there was much to do.And so, he acted with the thought of preservation at the forefront.He swiftly grabbed Omar, evading his attack, and then used him as a shield to avoid the incoming bullets.Omar didn't even get a chance to cry out as he was riddled with holes, turning him into cheese in an instant.And so, he lost his life.William thought the armed guards would stop but he couldn't have been more wrong as they increased their firing rate, completely destroying Omar's body, making sur

Victoria was driving towards her home when she suddenly noticed that a strange car was tailing her.At first, she thought she was overthinking things.But it swiftly became clear that she was correct in her assessment as the car continued to trail behind her and what was worse, it had begun to gain on her.Realizing that she was in danger, she didn't hesitate to speed up in a bid to reach her home quickly but that only caused the people tailing her to abandon any notion of stealth as they chased after her aggressively, swiftly catching up to her before she could get very far.Victoria barely managed to remain calm as she understood that if she was caught, she might not escape alive, so she kept on driving, even as the car was close.Just as she turned a corner, the car came too close for comfort and without hesitation, rammed into her car, causing her car to spiral out of control.Victoria screamed in terror the few seconds before the car slammed into a waiting wall, causing the airba
