*****

Not long after Greg Dunnam drove away earlier, he received a message containing all of Williams’ profile, but he hesitated to believe the information presented as he had believed Williams to be someone with a powerful background, for daring to go against him.

With that, he swiftly called his private investigator.

“You sure the details here are accurate?”

His voice carried an eerie tone, hinting at his intense determination, which unsettled the person Greg had contacted, even over the phone.

However, the individual who was confident in their work reassured Greg that they had provided all the information that could be found about Williams, leading Greg to end the call.

As soon as he disconnected, Greg's eyes glinted with a chilling resolve, casting a somber atmosphere around him.

"How dare an expelled bastard of a deceased Patriarch from such a lesser family to have a design for someone who holds the key to my ambitions?"

He growled darkly, but his voice abruptly co

    ***** Presently, remorse was consuming Williams' marrow, flesh, and spirit swiftly with each passing moment. It was as if he were the cause of how Penelope was injured severely to the point of her losing consciousness. Although he understood that he wasn't to be blamed, he just wouldn't cease wallowing in remorse. Penelope's call had come after he had dropped Grace off earlier, and he didn't waste another moment before rushing here. It was as if he had an intuition that something would happen. He had already sensed this immediately after Penelope informed him of going to her apartment the previous night, but he just couldn't comprehend it. This was also one of the reasons Williams was brimming with regret, that he had told Penelope that she could call him after reaching her destination. The only gratitude Williams felt was that nothing worse had occurred before he got there. A day would not have passed from then on that he would feel intense regret. Yes, he was the one who r

    ***** "I ask, who are you?" Williams could be seen being interrogated with an authoritative tone by a middle-aged man outside his car, in front of an estate gate at the moment. This was the address provided by Grace the previous day, but he had forgotten to collect her contact details, which was why he was currently being questioned. Honestly, he didn't initially fault the security guard, as he was merely doing his job by preventing him from entering and asking for the identity of the person he was looking for. But no matter how many times Williams mentioned the identity of the person he was seeking, he was continually accused of lying, as they had received no call indicating that their young miss was expecting a visitor. "You rascal, are you one of those pesky stalkers who always come here to bother the young miss?" Williams, "_" He was thoroughly frustrated at this point, but what could he do other than explain himself? "I'm telling you, I really have an appointment with yo

    ***** As soon as Williams arrived in front of the establishment, Grace hurriedly exited the car and entered the building swiftly, instructing Williams to come and meet her after parking the car, as she had an important meeting to attend.On her way, she greeted everybody as she typically did while praising the ones she was certain were the diligent ones.Observing this, Williams experienced a nostalgic feeling, then he drove to the parking area of the company to park his car. With that, Williams sauntered back to the main building to meet Grace. But just as he was about to pass the turnstile gate, the alarm sounded, indicating that he had no authorization to enter, making Williams realize that he was no longer an employee here and thus no longer possessed an ID card for entry. As Williams pondered what to do next, two guards approached him. “Mister, you would need to contact whomever you are here for if you are not an employee here.” Williams immediately recognized the speaker

    ***** The supervisor, " _ " Lucas, " _ " The first guard, " _ " They all fell absolutely silent after hearing Williams’ question and couldn't respond for a moment, then they glanced at Williams, and their faces were filled with confusion. A surge of intense anger was about to well up within the supervisor, but she suppressed it as she still didn't know Williams’ identity, or so she thought. Although she sensed that he looked vaguely familiar, she wasn't prepared to consider his identity now. "If I may inquire, please, who are you?" Her voice was hushed and contained tightly controlled indignation."Me?" Pretending not to sense the lady's anger, the first guard's enthusiasm, and Lucas's fear, Williams touched his chest which made the lady’s fury increase. Witnessing that, Williams finally acted as if he just realized he was being spoken to. With that, he grinned broadly before speaking out casually. "I'm just an ordinary person." "You're merely an ordinary person?" A perplex

    *****Without further delay, all matters concerning the female overseer were examined, and aside from her termination, she was handed over to law enforcement for further punishment which might likely be getting thrown into jail for years.After investigating her history and track record since she commenced working there, it was revealed that besides abusing her authority, she embezzled the company’s resources, particularly those allocated to the security team. She and some accomplices engaged in the theft of company property, which they later sold on the black market after working hours.In addition to this, she conspired with individuals in the accounting department to siphon substantial portions of the security team's salaries.That's not all.In addition to all the ones revealed.

However, as the adage always states, nothing valuable comes effortlessly.Before they concluded work that day, which was already quite late into the night, many shareholders and executives whose records hadn't been reviewed called for a vote of no confidence in Grace's leadership, as they no longer had faith in her.But due to the late hour, it was postponed to the following day.Throughout all these events, Williams remained by Grace's side to safeguard her, in case of any unforeseen developments.He had even completely forgotten about Penelope, whom he had pledged to collect from the hospital later that day.After they wrapped up work,

Consequently, they exchanged puzzled glances before redirecting their attention to Williams, as if he were behaving irrationally.The group comprised five individuals attired in black suits, black ties, and black shoes.Regaining their composure, they comprehended that Williams was likely playing them. However, a single glance at his countenance indicated his seriousness, further perplexing them.Unbeknownst to them, Williams was presently scrutinizing them t

    ***** Like every other city and state, Zed City is categorized into three tiers. The lower echelon, the middle echelon, and the upper echelon. The lower echelon contains people who could scarcely afford three square meals a day and those who perform most of the looked-down-upon tasks in the city. The slum areas were the residents of these people, and they typically comprised the largest percentage of Zed City’s population. This was the life Williams had experienced for the past five years, until a few weeks ago. As for the middle echelon, it contains the people who are neither affluent nor destitute. They are usually well-fed and do not lack good things, yet they do not have luxurious lives. They live modestly and possess various assets such as houses and cars. Like the people of the lower echelon, their residences also match their status. Ultimately, they are the aspiration of the lower-tier residents. Finally, there is the upper echelon, which contains the people who are

He was still thinking of protecting the identity of his contractor in the first place, but now that it was already out, he couldn’t

Williams, panting heavily, gazed at the man, who seemed to be the last surviving member of his nation’s representatives, and his heart grew heavy with sympathy for him. ‘Those motherfuck*rs are just so evil! Trying to wipe out everyone from the other nations just in order to make my country the world's enemy," he thought, clenching his fists in fear and anger before finally breathing heavily to calm himself, after which he approached the pitiful man. “Are you o...” “Wait, aren’t you that ill-reputable secret realm’s thief?” Sofia, who had been staring intently at the man suddenly blurted out, interrupting Williams and in the following second, all gazes were focused on her. “I...” her fac

    *****By the time Williams was done getting all the needed memories from Lucius, even Jenifer, despite all the hatred she has for him couldn’t help but deeply pity him.Both she and Sofia turned deathly pale, but Williams did not notice, instead, his face was tightly etched into a tight furrow right now and he appeared terrified for a reason known only to him.He clenched his fists after a moment, making them crackle loudly before he forced out a deep breath.“This secret realm is already breached by forces strong enough to destroy the entire country,” he growled beneath his voice, his heart still pounding from the secret he just learned.Behind him, Sofia, still shaken by what she had just witnessed and hadn't returned to her senses, cautiously glanced at Williams upon hearing the tone she hadn’t heard from him even when he was almost killed some moments earlier.“What are you talking about?” she asked cautiously, momentarily forgetting the terrifying and devilish act he had ju

However, confident in their strength, they merely smirked, dismissing the sensation while staring at the ice queen before them."I ordered that stupid brother of yours, to give you to me and only cripple himself, but he refused. So, how can you blame me for killing him?" the leader at the forefront of the group said to Jessica with a playful tone, licking his lips as he eyed her hourglass figure. He did not seem disturbed at all by her hateful gaze and the coldness she was emitting and Jessica, hearing the other party’s words fumed so much with rage and hatred, her chest heaving heavily.The following second, her eyes released a strong murderous intent a lady should never have and then she yelled. “You
