Once William learned of this, he wasn’t really surprised, but rather annoyed at himself for not anticipating this kind of desperate move from The Brown family. Luckily, he had a powerful family backing him all the way. William then called Dr. Nina and he explained what was happening to her.Dr. Nina then revealed to William and his friends that Mike Barathea had also sent words to her. It turned out that Mr. Brown was offering $3 million to Chief Resident Byron Burton to ensure that the assassins got into the hospital without any hassle. The chief resident was then promised an escape to a better life once law enforcement found out that he was involved. By then, no one would be able to catch him for his crimes. This was the reason Chief Resident Byron had willingly agreed to help in the first place. As long as he got a better life, he didn’t really care who ended up as a casualty. Unfortunately for him, he ended up as the casualty instead, killed by the very man he had betrayed Gia
After the leader of the assassin leader had made that ‘battle to the death duel’ with William, he was quite confident that none of those super-powered bodyguards taking down his men would come for him.“Boss, I think we shouldn’t just remain here.” The intuitive assassin who was still sticking close to the assassin leader has spoken with rising fear in his voice.The assassin leader had harrumphed with an arrogant expression on his face when he heard these words. “We already have an agreement. If that boy really has any pride, he'll come out here and face me.” The assassin leader’s aloofness had been diminished minutes later when one of the McArthur bodyguards knocked that intuitive assassin out and dragged his body away, easily able to evade the flashlight pointed around by the assassin leader due to the overwhelming darkness. Now literally alone, and unwilling to return to that particular hallway where the remaining assassins were still being killed off one by one, the assassin
Andrew was getting quite confident that none of these marching young adults in black military outfits could see him. He watched as they kept matching in a slightly long file of two. He didn’t expect that they would suddenly stop before spreading further. Each of the two lines moved to the opposite walls of the hallway and they faced the middle. The assassin leader had not been this scared in a long time.Andrew watched for a few more seconds as the two lines of bodyguards stood with their hands behind their backs while facing the spacious middle. The scene looked like they were expecting the president or something. But that was when Andrew heard the footsteps of a single person walking in the hallway as well. The incoming person soon enters the assassin leader’s line of sight and it is revealed to be Abigail.Abigail Luke walked along the hallway with her team lined up with their backs almost touching the wall. She walked with her head raised and a cold expression on her face. She
Andrew began chuckling as he tightened his fist. “I’m not gonna lie, Mr. Chain, I was quite convinced that your agreement to my challenge was nothing but a way to stall me.”“Yet, here I am.” William walked forward and removed his top, revealing a shredded body covered in light bandages. Most of the bruises he got from prison had almost healed up at this point. “Now, can we stop talking already and just get into this duel already? There are other matters I still have to attend to tonight.”The assassin leader was still quite surprised at William’s show of gusto. As a highly experienced assassin, he was very adept at noticing the slightest buff in his opponents or targets, and right now, he couldn’t find a hint of either in William. “Hmmm! I have to say though, you are one exceptionally tough kid. It’s a shame that won’t save you tonight. My freedom from your bodyguards demands that I end your life. So it’s gonna be a win-win for me.” He then took off his top outfit as well, reveali
Ever since William moved into his estate, he had been training with her and the other McArthur bodyguards almost daily, and over the span of weeks into months, she had seen William grow stronger and more agile as he adapted his physical condition to match his sparring partners. William barely won any of those sparring sessions with his bodyguards because he always demanded that they should never go easy on him. The McArthur bodyguards had abnormal capabilities so William didn’t need the pity win from them. Instead, William grew stronger from the constant defeat he was death by the daily sparring sessions, and this is what made his titanium wall of determination quite astonishing. Compared to them, Abigail knew that William was far from defeated in this duel against the assassin leader.“Due!” Andrew tightened his fist, maximizing the adrenaline coursing through the veins in his arm as he brought it down on William’s face.William could hear a slight ringing in his ear from the one
Even if Andrew, the assassin leader, knew how to counter these Martial arts styles, he couldn’t predict the blend of tactics William was displaying, and this led him to be thrown off most of the time, and he found himself unable to defend himself from those attacks.As a result, Andrew’s injuries couldn’t be compared to William’s at all; his injuries were far much worse. His bloody mouth and the bloody trail down his face and his upper chest revealed that during this fierce round of both sides going all out against each other, Andrew had ended up puking out blood more than once. His face had a lot of swollen spots and these spots looked much worse compared to the ones on William’s face. As for his body, Andrew was now spotting three broken ribs. Also, William had ruthlessly hammered his shoe soles against his thighs and he was now struggling to move as well as before. “Fucking hell!” Andrew roared out in growing frustration as he could clearly see what was happening. William’s eye
William had defeated Andrew, the assassin leader, leaving him with bones broken heavily. The older man lay on the floor, gritting his teeth in extreme pain.“You lose, Andrew.” William lifted his hard shoes off the man’s body, looking down at him with disdainful eyes. “What other target is included in your mission?”Andrew’s eyes were squinted and every breath he took was laced with hardship due to his broken ribs. “How is this possible? You’re just an ordinary university brat! How were you able to defeat me?!” He roared out his frustration at his defeat. He had lost to a much younger man, and right in front of his subordinates who were counting on his victory to hopefully escape with their lives. His outburst caused him to puke out more blood.With a smile of relief on her face, Camilla was about to go give her lover a hug and then check on his physical state. But Abigail suddenly put out a firm hand, gently blocking the heir of the Parker family from going further.“Miss Camill
Andrew’s hand twitched and it was like time had slowed as he reached into the lower pocket of his pants and pulled out a dagger with a colored tip. Adrenaline rushed through his body and the muscles in his arms bulged and he aimed for the neck of the young man behind him.Camilla and the McArthur bodyguards held their breath as they noticed what Andrew was about to do too late. Abigail wasn’t worried though, as she knew that William was prepared for this. William had picked up on Andrew’s demeanor a while ago. While whispering into the man’s ear, trying to coerce him into being an evidential witness against The Brown family in court, he could see that There was still a willful mindset reflected in the older man’s eyes. Thus, he had been on guard for any sudden attack this whole time. This is the reason he quickly noticed Andrew’s action. He was holding his neck and had felt the vigor in the tensed muscles. The second he saw the incoming dagger with the weirdly colored tip, he enga
