He had won.As his vision cleared, William found himself standing at the entrance of the Death Tower, the same place where their perilous journey had begun. He wasn’t alone. Around him, the surviving hunters appeared, emerging from their own battles, their faces a mixture of disbelief, exhaustion, and profound relief.They were fewer in number—much fewer.

"What! Young master Donald is remarkable, he's willing to help the Storm Clan establish a relationship with Starkcom, the biggest company in Astoria City!""Starkcom is incredibly difficult to establish a relationship with, one must have a groundbreaking condition to sign a contract with them.""But yet, young master Donald wants to help the Storm family with just a simple marriage proposal! Heck, I would even give up everything I have just to take that offer."Clarissa overheard others, and her expression turned even colder. "Donald, stop pestering me. I don't like you!" she yelled at him and helped William up, intending to lead him out of the room to treat his injuries."Wait!" Lady Storm finally spoke, and the hall became silent. Everyone turned to look at her."Clarissa, I will declare this in public since you have decided to publicly shame my family. In one week's time, there would be a lot of changes, and you might be at the bottom last. However, you can change this by divorcing

"William, what do you need one hundred thousand dollars for?"A harsh voice asked William, belonging to Charles, Clarissa's older brother. He has a large body build, and although he might not look it, he actually is one of the strongest elites in Astoria."I need the money for something very important. I swear that I'll pay you back after two days.""Humph, you plan to take our money and run away! I know that is what you want to do. You think I am my foolish sister that you can easily deceive."Hearing Charles call his wife 'foolish', William couldn't help but glare at him. However, he didn't retort."Well, two days from now is me and Clarissa's marriage anniversary, and I would like to get her gifts.""You want to get her gifts? Now I know you are really sick in the head. Two days from now, she would fail to sign a contract with Starkcom and would be thrown out of the Storm family. Even your gift won't wash away the pain she would feel that day," Charles mocked."Gifts aren't to wash
Rise Of The Powerful Husband 5. Hotel
Starkcom Hotel:The hotel is one of the many businesses owned by the biggest business group in Astoria."This is the first time I am seeing it, and the view is indeed heavenly as described," William remarked, gazing at the magnificent hotel.He then started walking inside. According to the information he got online, someone he knew was actually working here."Good day, sir, welcome to Starkcom hotel. May I know how I can be of help to you?" The receptionist asked without even looking at William as she was focused on the monitor in front of her."Julian," William smiled and let out.The receptionist looked up, how did this person know her name?"William??" A surprised look appeared on her face as she found this face extremely familiar."Yeah, it's me, Julian, long time no see.""Oh, William, it's actually you. What are you doing here?""I am here for something important," William answered with a smile as he felt the hateful tone in her voice."You are here to look for a job, right?""N

"If I find out this is a joke or some prank you plan to display online for some senseless fans, I swear I will chop off your fingers one after the other and feed it to dogs."William felt a chilly aura spread around the room as Clarion released a very strong energy."Answer my questions," William demanded confidently. In the past, he would shiver and run away from such powerful and wealthy people, but now...He is the wealthiest man on earth! He couldn't be afraid as long as money is involved.Clarion settled down when William spoke, since he didn't run away after her threat, she began to trust him a little."The highest share in this hotel is 40 million dollars, which is 20% of the company. We only accept shares from 5 million and above. If you plan to invest anything less, I'm sorry, we will have to throw you away."A smile crept on William's face, the price wasn't so big after all."Great, I will invest one hundred million dollars.""One hundred thousand dollars?"

William stared at the figure before him, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the twisted reflection standing just a few paces away. The smirk on the doppelganger's face was chilling, filled with an arrogance and darkness that William recognized but had never embraced himself. This was not just a reflection; it was something far more sinister. "Who are you?" William demanded, his voice steady, though the unease gnawed at him. "Why do you look like me?" The doppelganger tilted its head slightly, the smirk widening. "I am the Dark One," it said, its voice a distorted echo of William's own. "The force behind the apocalypse, the one who brought chaos and ruin to your world." William’s eyes widened in shock, and then narrowed in anger. "You... You’re the one who unleashed the zombies, who turned the world into a living nightmare?" His grip tightened on his sword, the blade beginning to glow faintly with the power of his blood magic. "Why? Why would you do something so monstrous?

After venturing into the portal, the fate of all the hunters were left in their own hands. Each of them were sent to a new world to face a different challenge. A large numbers of the hunters died the moment they appeared!Some fought with their last bits of strengths, the zeal to survive pushing them further. Nevertheless most of them were unable to wrestle against their own fate. Some like Carson and Gregor survived. A lot faced unfortunate deaths, their fates ended! This was the job of the death tower after all. ....Mark found himself standing in a desolate wasteland, the ground cracked and barren, with jagged rocks jutting out of the earth like broken teeth. The sky above was a swirling mass of dark clouds, and the air was thick with the smell of sulfur. There was no sign of life, no movement, only the oppressive silence of a world that had been long abandoned."Where am I?" Mark muttered to himself, his hand instinctively reaching for the hilt of his sword. He looked aroun

Gregor awoke to a world of fire and smoke. The ground beneath him was hot, the air thick with ash and the smell of burning flesh. He groaned as he pushed himself to his feet, his body aching from the strain of the previous battles. But as he looked around, he realized that he was alone.“Carson? William?” he called out, but his voice was swallowed by the roar of the flames that surrounded him.He was standing in the middle of a volcanic wasteland, the ground cracked and scorched, with rivers of molten lava flowing through the fissures. The sky above was a dark, stormy gray, with ash and embers swirling in the air like a deadly blizzard. In the distance, he could see massive volcanic peaks, their slopes glowing with the intense heat of the lava flows.There was no sign of his comrades, no trace of the others who had fought by his side. Gregor clenched his fists, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the situation. “Where am I? What is this place?”But there was no time for a

As the hunters leaped into the light, they felt a sudden, jarring sensation as if the very fabric of reality had shifted around them. The blinding brightness enveloped them, and for a moment, it felt as though they were floating in an endless void. But then, just as quickly, the sensation ended, and they found themselves standing on solid ground once more.The light receded, and with it, the warmth that had surrounded them. Each of them opened their eyes to a new reality—one that was far from the serene landscape they had glimpsed before. Instead, they were plunged into separate worlds, each one a twisted, chaotic reflection of the challenges they had already faced. And worst of all, they were alone.Carson blinked, trying to make sense of his surroundings. He was standing in a dense forest, but it was unlike any forest he had ever seen. The trees were gnarled and twisted, their branches clawing at the sky like skeletal fingers. The air was thick with the stench of decay, and the

The robotic voice barely finished speaking when the ground beneath the hunters began to tremble violently. Before they could react, the floor cracked open beneath their feet, creating a gaping tunnel that spiraled downward into darkness. Without a moment’s hesitation, William shouted, “Into the tunnel! Move!”The hunters, their instincts honed by the countless battles they had fought, didn’t waste time questioning. They jumped into the tunnel, their bodies sliding down the smooth, obsidian-like surface as the walls blurred past them. The descent was steep, and the sensation of speed was dizzying, but none of them allowed fear to take hold. They knew that whatever awaited them at the end of this tunnel was the final challenge of the tower.The tunnel seemed to stretch on endlessly, the darkness oppressive and suffocating. But far ahead, a faint light appeared, growing brighter as they drew closer. The sight of it brought a spark of hope to the hunters—they were nearing the end.Howeve

In the inferno purgatory, Willaim and the hunters heard a very loud shriek that pierce through the core of emotions and inflicts all sort of negative emotions, including fears. William quickly pun around, his eyes scanning the horizon for the source of the noise. The flames flickered and danced in the distance, casting long shadows across the cracked ground, but there was nothing else in sight.But then the shadows began to move.From the darkness between the flames, figures began to emerge. At first, they were little more than dark shapes, but as they drew closer, their forms became clearer. They were tall, towering over the hunters, with long, tattered robes that billowed around them like smoke. Their faces were hidden beneath deep hoods, but their eyes—glowing a sickly green—burned with a cold, unholy light.Each figure carried a massive scythe, the blades glinting wickedly in the firelight. They moved with a slow, deliberate grace, their skel

As William stepped through the portal, the world around him dissolved into a blur of light and energy. The sensation was disorienting, as if he were being pulled through a tunnel at breakneck speed, but it lasted only a moment. When the light faded, he found himself standing in a place that defied all sense of reality.The ground beneath his feet was blackened and cracked, as if the very earth had been scorched by an unrelenting fire. Flames flickered and danced across the landscape, casting an eerie, orange glow that bathed everything in a hellish light. The air was thick with heat, and the smell of sulfur and burning flesh hung heavy in the air, making it difficult to breathe.All around them, the landscape stretched out in a twisted, nightmarish expanse. Jagged mountains loomed in the distance, their peaks wreathed in fire and smoke. Rivers of molten lava snaked through the land, their glowing currents radiating an intense heat that made the skin prickle. And everywhere they l
