William looked at everyone as they displayed their most surprised expression at the amount of gifts he had purchased. Out of everyone, the most surprised was Charles who could not believe what he heard."Five million? How did you get your hand on five million? Have you been stealing from our family? I know you are a thief but I never knew you were this bold to reveal your act."William looked at Charles ranting, it was as though he was looking at a fool.Well, at this moment, he doesn't want to make his wealth known to the family."I used the money you gave me to visit a casino, Mother Luck smiled at me and I got more than five million in profit even though I lost more than that.However, I discovered that I haven't bought my queen any gift and that is the exact thing I did."Then William turned to Clarissa who couldn't help but blush at his words."I did it because of you, Clarissa, and also, congratulations for getting the deal signed with Starkcom Hotel." He smiled.However, everyo
Charles was the most shocked person in the room right now, he looked at his defeated hands and then slowly at the cold-smiling William.'How did this happen? I used my Rank 1 Elite strength and he defeated me? How is that even possible? Is he hiding his powers? No, it can't be, if he even had a tiny amount of mana in him, Grandma would have noticed it.'He looked at William again, it was as though he was looking at a totally new man."Master Charles is so kind, he gave William a chance to win." Florence clapped her hands.Charles looked at her, he wanted to refuse, just now he didn't hold back at all but yet William defeated him."If Master Charles was really serious, not only would he beat William in arm wrestling, his strength might even crush those feeble hands of his." Florence continued with her nonsense.Lady Storm had no way to save her son's face anymore, he lost the challenge himself and would have to face every other th
_Starkholm Lovers Restaurant_This restaurant is one of the biggest restaurants in town for couples, it has the best meals and mood that made it extremely romantic for couples.At this moment, a cab stopped at the parking lot, William and Clarissa stepped down from the cab.Clarissa was dressed in formal clothing but she looked extremely beautiful, once she stepped out of the cab, passers-by couldn't help but give extra stares marveling at her beauty. However, she wasn't focused on them, instead she focused and marveled at the wonderful exterior of the restaurant.This place is one of the places she would love for a date, however, she never got the chance to, as it was too expensive. Even though she wanted in the past, she couldn't speak about it to her husband knowing his financial status.The Storm family wouldn't even let her go out with William.She couldn't believe that she is here with him."Clarissa, you love this place, right?" William strolled beside her and said with a sweet
Clarissa observed the sudden change of mood.'Who could they have offended?' she wondered.William smirked, "Learn not to run your basket mouths too much from now on," he spoke."Clarissa, come with me." William grabbed her hands and took her inside.Not even Dalton nor Brianna, or even Lucas, stopped him as they were focused on the new problem at hand.Clarissa found the situation a bit strange; they insulted them, and William seemed to have sent a message to someone, making her doubt if he was the one.Who did William send a message to?Why did Lucas lose his job immediately?Could it be William's doing?All these questions lingered in her mind, but she shook her head, 'It can't be William?' she assured herself."Welcome to Starkcom Restaurant," a beautiful staff walked up to them and greeted with a smile."Please, what reservations would you like?" She asked."We have the standard table, silver table, gold table, and platinum table," She listed the available options."We will take
"Grandma, please don't do this to me, you already promised me the position as director." Charles let out with a pained voice."Clarissa only got the contract with the help of Donald, how can you let someone who relies on others become director? It will only become the fall of our Storm family." He continued.Lady Storm looked at Charles with a frown on her face."It is all your fault, Charles,""How? What did I do?" Charles questioned."Why did you let William win the arm wrestling yesterday? Who asked you to go easy on him," this particular question came as a hit to Charles who still couldn't believe how he lost.His grandmother and Florence still think he purposely lost in order to let William take the lead, but it was all far from the truth."Answer! If you hadn't let him win, I would have thrown him out of the Storm family and Clarissa would have lost her chance to become director," Lady Storm continued.She never wanted to give Clarissa the position in the first place.She asked
"Grandma, we had a deal that I would have the position of director if I struck a deal with Starkcom, why are you switching it up now?" Clarissa said with a sad voice.Lady Storm was sitting in a throne-like chair in the big living room, Charles was standing beside her with a smile on his face.Clarissa looked heartbroken as her eyes reddened from the sadness and betrayal she felt at the moment.'I knew they wouldn't give her the position easily,' William, who stood beside her, thought to himself."Clarissa, we won't let the wife of a loser take over such an important position in our family's business." Charles chimed in."What image of our family would we be sending if you are leading?" he continued, asking a question."Let me help you answer it. Shame, Disgrace, pitiful.. those are the images we would project of ourselves if you are the director." Charles scoffed at the end of his statement."Clarissa, what Charles said is the obvious truth," Lady Storm supported her grandson."Why d
The Storm family is a very powerful family in the nation of Astoria, therefore, even their guards are well trained fighters and cultivators.Nevertheless, seeing them laying on the ground with pained expression made Lady Storm almost stand up from her seat out of shock."My hands, I can't feel my hands no more! Young master Charles, please come save me""Ahh!!""Waa!! My leg, my leg!"The three of them cried out loud as pain rocked their world.Two of them were lying on the ground, blood spilling out of their injuries. One's hand was broken and the leg of the other was brutally out of join, a little of his leg bone protruding out.Charles who had called for the guards was short of words, he kept staring at them and no word left his mouth."Is this the weaklings you sent after me? When you have stronger soldiers, come call me." William smirked, his voice laced with power and authority causing even lady storm to shiver.Charles felt digging a hole in the ground in order to escape this n
Donald walked into the living room with proud steps, an attractive smile adorning his face as he smiled at Clarissa and Lady storm who both had the same surprised expression.Just as he was about to greet them, he saw three bloodied bodies on the ground, crying."What happened here?" He asked with a surprise expression on his face.These guards were powerful guards, he knew them because he had fought with them in the past and they were not people he could joke with."That bastard did it," Charles replied."He fucking beat our guards up to such a state, can you believe it," he added, gritting his teeth."Huh?" Donald looked at Charles confused."Which bastard are you taking about? Is it William? No it can't be William, he doesn't have the power to beat even the weakest guard.. who is this bastard then?" He asked."It is indeed William, he did this," Charles dropped the name and Donald eyes widened in shock.William is weak, very weak compared to the weakest guard but he was able to bea
