*****In a quiet landscape that would have been beautiful if not for the unbearable cold atmosphere and scenes around, three men dressed in purple stood together, with their leader wearing a purple jacket.Suddenly, they felt a slight discomfort for reasons they couldn't identify. 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
*****Williams, noticing the disgusting gaze the other party was giving Sofia couldn’t help but knit his brows in disapproval.“Are you courting death?” he growled under his breath, his voice seething with unhidden rage, causing Sofia, who was initially feeling uneasy under the other party's gaze, to suddenly feel a sweet warmth blossom within her.As for the other man, Lucius, he stared at Williams for a brief moment after which he shrugged him off with a dismissive snort and turned his attention back to Sofia.“Why not come to me willingly, and I’ll let you live?” he teased playfully, his eyes shamelessly ogling Sofia's lovely figure.Sofia, seeing this repulsive and disgusting gaze once again became utterly disgusted. “Over my dead body,” She spat, glaringly ferociously at him.She thought Lucius would become infuriated, but to her astonishment, he only licked his lips, smiling excitedly like a deranged person.“How did you know that I have a thing for stubborn women?” he as
*****“What’s going on again?” Jennifer, who had just forced herself to rise to her feet, wanting to lend Williams a helping hand in order to be able to take care of Lucius suddenly mumbled in a trance to herself, gaping blankly at Lucius.Before she could think much, however, a horrific look appeared on Lucius.“You... you...” he pointed at Williams in disbelief, then the blade in his hand fell.“What... what did you do to me?” He asked with a heavy and tired voice, then with eyes filled with unwillingness, fell to the ground with a hard thud.“Hehehe, I know he’d be too easy for you to handle,” Sofia, who had been so nervous to the extent that she had been praying frantically in her mind, while clenching her fists abruptly mumbled, disrupting the silence that had settled in, after which she approached Williams.She had barely taken three steps, however when the flabbergasted Jennifer returned to her senses. “Has... has he died?” She carefully asked and Williams, suddenly pityi
*****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
***** Although the enemies were overwhelmingly strong, the arrival of Williams’ incredibly powerful flying needles spelled their doom, wiping them all out in an instant, but by then, there was only one survival left behind, a grievously injured man with a face filled with unwillingness and pain. 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

*****“I knew it!” Sofia, who was at the back suddenly exclaimed after hearing Nico’s narration, startling the still dumbfounded Williams back to his senses.Both he and Nico, who still appeared guilty turned around, wondering what she was talking about.“You—knew he was paid to double cross us?” He asked and Sofia, who was fuming right now as though she were going to explode nodded her head.“I saw him last night together with that bastard Maximus!” She spat through gritted teeth, breathing laboriously.Williams and Nico’s eyes constricted in the following second, with Williams utterly dumbstruck by the name mentioned while Nico was astonished.“Is it true?” He inquired after a prolonged moment. “The person who contracted you was a member of my group, from my city?” He added, not wanting to believe it.Nico, seeing Williams like this smiled wryly. 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
**** “You will never amount to anything in your miserable life.” These words were like night terrors that had been haunting Williams’ life for days now. No matter how much he wished to forget them, to erase how they were spoken, who uttered them, and to erase the images he had witnessed before these words were mockingly voiced to him, they kept coming back like incurable ailments. Poor Williams Miller. Williams Miller was the son of Jacob Miller, the now-deceased patriarch of the Distinguished Miller family that reigned supreme in Zed City. Until five years ago, Williams' life was still filled with sweetness and joy, when he didn't need to concern himself much about sustenance, finances, clothing, or anything else as they were always readily available to him. His misfortune all began on the day he lost his parents in an unfortunate plane crash. Even now, Williams couldn't come to terms with it, perpetually hoping that it was all a nightmare he would soon awaken from. He could
