Veronica’s legs wobbled in her high heels before they gave out and she fell to the ground. She barely reacted to the fall, though, as her focus was frozen in the scene unfolding on the large screen. Her ammunition factory had exploded. She was watching through the CCTV cameras placed throughout the entire factory. The locations kept changing after each place of the illegal chamber had been blown up.Woodruff was visibly shaking and his eyes were red as he was watching the exquisitely constructed headquarters of his conglomerate go up in flames. Even though the other branches spread around the globe were relatively untouched, the headquarters held the ‘keys’ to all capable functioning of his conglomerate. Therefore, blowing up the headquarters was the most crippling move William had dealt him. To him, this felt much worse than blowing up his ancestral mansion. William was aware of this, and that’s why he targeted the Camillo conglomerate’s headquarters.William cleared his throat be
“Son of a whore! I’ll fucking kill you!” Woodruff roared as his heart brimmed with uncontrollable anger. He pointed a finger at William before dashing towards him with folded fists. Despite his age, he was still quite fit as he was the type to keep a fit physique.William stood calmly as he quickly raised a hand to stop his bodyguards. He saw that they were ready to intercept Woodruff before he got him and he didn’t want that to happen.The second Woodruff got into range, William calmly swerved slightly, escaping the impact of the right fist which was aiming for his face. William’s eyes became cold as he saw that the older man was about to follow up with his left fist, and thus, he made a swift round motion while he was still crouching beneath Woodruff’s extended right fist, he then delivered a brutal kick straight to the man’s chest, sending his flying slightly before the man fell with a heavy grunt and a pained expression to convey the effect of that kick on him physically.Woodr
There was no doubt at this point that the partnership between him and Veronica had come to an end. To be honest, there was barely a tangible partnership to begin with. Veronica had proposed this because he wanted to get to William and exploit his weakness through a present enemy of his. Meanwhile, Woodruff simply saw Veronica as a loaded machine he could just milk for as much money as possible. Unfortunately for both of them, it led them to this horrible situation. The conglomerate that had just risen by billions of dollars had dropped to mere tens of millions within hours. Also, the headquarters had now gone up in flames, and trying to simply maintain their status in the business world would be a massive hurdle that would require an enormous miracle to overcome. On Veronica’s side, there was nothing positive he could rip off of her anymore. A higher percentage of her wealth came from her illegal ammunition factory, which had now been blown up. In fact, he could bet that Veronica mig
The second that female McArthur bodyguard gave the order, William witnessed with wide eyes as twelve of his bodyguards seemed to blur from their position around him. At first, he didn’t realize what had happened until he caught the afterimages. These twelve McArthur bodyguards had run towards the oncoming six creatures that were about to land on the upper floor of the management tower, where they all were.These twelve McArthur bodyguards, as if some tactical understanding had been established within a nanosecond, had split themselves into twos. They were so fast that they got to those six creatures before they could actually land on the building. The bodyguard jumped into the air and utilized their fearsome strength to push these six creatures back down. Just like that, these six creatures never made it to the higher floor of the management tower. They were kicked mid-air and they fell right back down, all the way to the ground below. The impact from the collision of abnormal bod
Veronica did not like the look of things. While she was currently using all the creatures she had bought with her, William still had a very few number of McArthur bodyguards protecting him. This is not what she wanted. She wanted her creatures to not only kill the McArthur bodyguards, but she especially wanted William dead. “I can’t let that bastard continue to live on.” Veronica was whispering with a very bitter expression as she struck the firm wall she was hiding behind with the side of her balled fist. “I’ve lost it all because of him. My son, my source of livelihood. There’s nothing left for me after this. I’ll be left with no choice but to live my life under the cruel mercy of the rest of the family.” She shook her head as she continued her monologue with a venomous tone of resentment. “This is far worse than death. They already don’t trust me after Timothy had been apprehended. None of them believed that I had anything to do with the embezzlement and the fact that my son tr
Immediately, all twelve McArthur bodyguards forgot the four creatures throwing stuff at them as they dashed towards the now wobbling management tower to save William and stop those two creatures. Sadly, it wasn’t that easy. The McArthur bodyguards had finally met something on their level.The four creatures were not about to let those bodyguards ruin their distraction tactic. Thus, they intercepted them by smashing into them from the sides. These creature utilized their overwhelming size and the fact that the McArthur bodyguards were now in a slight state of panic to effectively body slam them to the side. The twelve McArthur bodyguards had truly not seen them coming. All their focus has been turned to getting to those two creatures before they completely cause the management tower to collapse on itself. They were simply too focused on saving their young master, who they were sure was still inside the tower, that they didn’t see those other four creatures coming right behind them.
Veronica was thrilled beyond proper words right now. She couldn’t believe what she had actually done. She had managed to kill William Chain. With the way things had been turning out earlier, she was certain that she wouldn’t be able to achieve this. It was her anger at the hopeless state William’s actions had put her in that gave her the persistence to keep pushing until things got to this point.Staring at the collapsed management tower, immense satisfaction filled Veronica’s heart, if her smile was anything to go by. Unwilling to search for William’s corpse beneath the heavy boulders, she opted to simply revel in the sight, momentarily ignoring the sound of dreadfully heavy punches reaching her ears.Veronica finally shifted her gaze to find all six of her creatures, each placing the weight on two weak-looking humans, while punching the faces of these smaller framed humans beneath them with every ounce of their terrifying strength. The sound created from each fist brought down on
Veronica watched on with a racing heart as those twelve bodyguards suddenly pushed those six creatures off of them. Without a word from William, she caught Abigail giving direct orders to the ten McArthur bodyguards.“Help the others out. Don’t stop until the enemy is down for good.”“Yes, leader!” The ten McArthur bodyguards received the order before flashing towards the six creatures.Abigail Luke chose to remain here, watching the interaction between her young master and this woman who would have definitely brought William a lot of harm if she and the seven McArthur bodyguards hadn’t arrived at the management tower in time.While the building was still barely standing, William had called Abigail over there. The head of bodyguards had actually just gotten to the club estate’s main gate when she received that call from her young master. She was the one in charge of handling the timely explosion that occurred at the Camillo headquarters. As soon as that was done, she had gathered
