Rise Of The Powerful Husband 24. Disappointment
When many participants noticed the appearance of Lord Bane, their confidence in acquiring expensive artifacts disappeared."Oh God, I pray he doesn't bid for the items I want," a woman prayed loudly. Weirdly, this was the same prayer for every other person in the room, except William.William observed Lord Bane as he was led up to the VVIP area by a beautiful staff.While he was watching this, his personal attendant walked in."Sir, I have completed the task, his ID is 023," she said.William nodded with a cold smirk, "Good job," he complimented her, and she nodded.Soon, the auction kicked off for real.A beautiful lady dressed in a beautiful tight dress that revealed her slender curves graced the stage and held the microphone."My name is Sharon, I'll be your host for today," she first introduced herself."Welcome esteemed guests to the 34th edition of the Golden Pearl annual auction. As usual, we would like to blow your mind with our grand inventory," she stated in a cute voice that
Rise Of The Powerful Husband 25. Bane
"That is the voice of Lord Bane himself, damn it!" Some participants could not help but curse their bad luck."I said it, the moment he bids, our chance of acquiring that item immediately goes down to zero," others complained.Even Donald, who is used to boasting about his family wealth, felt fear at the sound of Lord Bane's voice.Lord Bane is one of the persons that would make one prefer death over challenging him.Not only is he powerful in terms of magic, but he is also one of the most powerful men in the world in terms of financial strength, no one in their right senses ever dares to stop him.Sharon revealed a beautiful smile as she heard the voice of Lord Bane, she knew instantly that no one would dare to bid anymore."Going for 4 million in three, two, one... Sold to VVIP01,"When the others heard his bid number, they were not surprised. His bid number was 01, meaning that he got the VVIP position first."A worthy opponent," William remarked to himself while nodding his head.

Donald looked really tense as the sense of failure washed over his being. His body was sweating profusely, he never imagined that he would not be able to complete the task his father gave him."Relax, they might bring another spear," Charles said to help him relax."Shut the fuck up," Donald retorted at Charles.Charles shivered. What had he said that got Donald so worked up?Seeing his angry expression, he did not bother trying to start a conversation with him and just focused on the auction."Good, I like those looks of despair in your eyes," William grinned.He was happy that someone had helped him make Donald feel this way. It was enjoyable to watch."The next humiliation will be from me," William grinned.However, his eyes immediately focused on the stage as a glowing crystal was displayed."Guys, the first peak-level item for today, a blood core stone of superb quality," Sharon announced."What? They actually brought a core stone," someone yelled in both excitement and shock."I
Rise Of The Powerful Husband 27. Identity
William left the Golden Pearl house with a calm smile on his handsome face hidden by the mask he wore.Looking at him, one wouldn't even suspect he had items worth billions of dollars with him and this was all thanks to the ring. "Sir Windsor," A sweet voice called Windsor. He frowned and looked back only to see a cheerfully laughing Clarion waving at him from a flashy yellow car. "Clarion? What are you doing here?" William asked in a calm voice as he made his way towards her. "Hmph, don't you like it when a beautiful woman like me comes out of good will to pick you up?" She pouted cutely and asked him. She was openly flirting, but jokingly. "Haha, not that it bothers me, I'm just surprised to see you here," he smiled at her. "I knew you would be living by this time so I came here," she said. She already knew about the mask Windsor was wearing, she was the one who took him to the shop that sells the mask. "Fine, but you didn't come here just to pick me up, did you?" William und

After the short meeting with Clarion, William arrived home to a disgruntled Lady Storm who looked at him with a cold glare in her eyes."Where have you been? Who did you tell before you left the house?" She yelled at William as though she was speaking to a servant."Do I have to tell you every time I leave the house? What are you, mother?" William replied with a cold look on his face."How dare you speak to me in such a manner..." Lady Storm was about to continue her troubling of William when Donald and Charles walked in, from the look on their faces, she knew immediately that something was wrong.William turned to look at them since his back was facing the entrance, he saw Donald walk in with a pathetic look on his face while Charles just looked like a kid whose bicycle got stolen."What happened?" Lady Storm asked, her grandmotherly instinct kicking in.Donald didn't even have the strength to reply, he just went ahead and sat down on the seat opposite Lady Storm.Charles walked bris
Rise Of The Powerful Husband 29. Suspicion
"Father, what happened?" Donald asked with fear. "You still have the guts to ask despite knowing what your two bastard sons of mine have done?" Mark Grayson tossed the bleeding Dalton to the ground. Dalton landed and let out a pained cry as blood escaped from his mouth. "Father, I don't know what you are talking about?" Donald started taking cautious steps backward while Mark fiercely closed the short distance between them. A strong fierce and visible force was radiating from his body like electricity as he stepped forward. "Because of your wayward lifestyle of going around looking for trouble, we have lost our connection with Starkcom and not only that, all companies related to starkcom in Astoria have refused to work with us," Mark revealed. Donald was beyond surprised when he heard this. How could something like this happen? There was no way he did this. "Father I swear I am not involved in this, it might be Dalton,"Donald immediately found a way out. Donald didn't want to g
Rise Of The Powerful Husband 30. Director
Clarissa suspected William was the Windsor everyone talked about. She stared at him, curiosity clear in her eyes, as she awaited an answer.William returned her gaze with a calm smile. "My name is William Windsor, remember?" he replied."Yes, I know that, but I'm curious. You seem to have a certain connection with Starkcom," she responded."You're wrong, I don’t. It could be that they actually insulted the son of someone powerful and not me, and that’s costing them their dignity," William replied.Beside Clarissa, Florence watched William with surprise and a secret hint of adoration she didn't want to display in front of everyone.That day, when she heard the cost of the gifts he bought for his wife, she was shocked beyond belief. She was so shocked that she spent several days pondering the matter and still couldn't come to a definite answer.'Who is William, really? Why has he suddenly changed? How could someone as poor as him afford such an expensive gift?' These questions frequentl
Rise Of The Powerful Husband 31. Leaving
"What did you just say?" Lady Storm was shocked after Clarissa rejected the one position she had always wanted."You heard me right, I don't want the director position anymore," Clarissa replied with a cold look on her beautiful face."Clarissa, what is wrong with you? Are you going to give up the position just like that and for what reason?" Florence immediately intervened, trying to persuade Clarissa to accept it."Yes. Clarissa, I also want to know your reason for rejecting it," Lady Storm demanded."It's simple, you guys don't deserve me at all," Clarissa laid the obvious answer in front of everyone."We don't deserve you?" Charles was the one to question this time.Clarissa glared at him. "Yes, when have you ever called me 'sister' since I married William, Charles?"Charles didn't reply, and Clarissa didn't even wait for a reply, she continued, "You never called me your sister. It's either 'bitch,' 'loser,' or 'the wife of a loser.' But today, after learning that I really got the

The world had changed, but it was slowly mending. The scars left by the apocalypse were deep, and the memories of those harrowing days would never truly fade, but humanity was resilient. Two weeks had passed since the hunters had emerged victorious from the Death Tower, and in that short time, the earth had already begun to heal.The sky was a clear blue, the clouds soft and white, drifting peacefully above a world that had been plunged into darkness for so long. The air, once thick with the stench of decay and the virus that had plagued humanity, was now clean and fresh, a reminder of the life that had been restored. Birds, absent during the apocalypse, had returned, their songs filling the air with a sense of normalcy that had been absent for far too long.The government, once crippled by the chaos, had reestablished itself. Leaders who had survived the ordeal stepped forward, determined to rebuild the world that had been nearly destroyed. They worked tirelessly, organizing effo

William blinked as the light surrounding him began to fade, the familiar, comforting warmth of reality returning to him.The oppressive darkness and twisted landscape were gone, replaced by the cool air and the solid ground beneath his feet.He felt the weight of exhaustion settle over him, but with it came a profound sense of relief. 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 had once been a group of sixty had been reduced to a small, ragged handful. They looked at each other, their eyes wide with surprise and then, slowly, with growing joy as they realized what had happened. They had survived. They had made it out alive.Carson was the first to speak, his voice hoars

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
