“Your son is a wretched excuse for a man, a businessman, and most of all, he’s a shitty excuse for a cousin.” William had none of that earlier calmness anymore, staring at Veronica with an intense chill in his eyes. “Your son would have gladly ruined Camilla’s life without any regard for their siblinghood. Do you know how bad that discovery affected your niece?” He then pointed an accusing finger straight at the woman’s nose. “And you. You supported every pathetic act he pulled.” He glanced back at the chaotic scene where twenty-two McArthur bodyguards were now brutalizing those six creatures from all sides. He gestured in the direction. “Of course, meeting you today, I finally understand why your son is the way he is.”What followed was a loud slap from Veronica. With a screech. She waited for William to slowly turn his face back on her – revealing a handprint and a four thin slash from her nails, which had now torn open the skin of his face – before she pointed her finger at Willia
Abigail took in a deep breath to settle the turmoil ringing in her heart as those creatures were still wailing in pain. “Young Master William, those creatures….I think they share the same origin with us.”William shook his head slightly as he wanted to know more. “And what origin would that be?”Abigail opened her mouth only to let out a brief croak. She froze after as she stared at William with eyes that expressed a mix of loss and guilt.William sighed as he recalled the reason for Abigail’s sudden silence. “Oh, you can’t ……you’re not allowed to tell me. I’m not privy to this information yet.” Saying this made it sound like Abigail and the other McArthur bodyguards were a bunch of advanced robots with codes that would lead to their self-destruction being activated if they told him the truth of their origin. In truth, though, this alternative explanation wasn’t too far-fetched. Despite the McArthur bodyguards' clear appearance as fully human, their extraordinary abilities prove
Veronica felt panic settle within her as the realization sunk further into her consciousness as she scrambled for an answer. “The rest of the Parker family of course! Together, we can strip them of everything they’re worth. You get more money, and I get back everything I’ve lost ever since I was born into that cursed family.” She feigned a confident smirk. “You should seriously consider my offer.”William stared at Veronica with a blank expression. “It’s getting increasingly clear to me by the minute that you have lost your mind.” He ignored the shocked expression on Veronica’s face at his words as he continued speaking. “Any minute now, your own family will be here to take you back as a criminal to be persecuted for your crimes. Don’t you realize that they probably know of everything you’ve done by now, including the illegal ammunition you ran for years, risking the family name and reputation?” He shook his head once again as his expression changed to that of utter disdain. “Mrs. V
“Mrs. Parker, get your hands off my boss and keep your distance, or we’ll make you.”The firm feminine voice that reached Veronica’s ears made her turn her gaze to the side to find Abigail and all twenty-two McArthur bodyguards now pointing their rifles at her. The sight was quite chilling as they were all looking at her with intense disdain as if she was some filthy beggar holding onto their prince. They simply were not joking around. Veronica quickly let go of William’s shirt, and she took a couple of steps away from him.William turned to Abigail, silently telling her to stand down. Abigail then stared back, beckoning her young master to rethink this decision. This woman now knew of William’s most kept secret, she couldn’t be left alone to tell the world. If people from the Parker family came and took her away, they could only imagine what she would tell them. After that, it will certainly be a matter of time before the Parker family finds out that Billiard McArthur was keeping a
William was huddled underneath the protection created by the large broken walls of the collapsed management tower. Right alongside Abigail, he didn’t dare to even peek outside as they both could still hear the sound of gunshots and the thick walls being pelted with bullets. Among these heavy sounds, William and his head of bodyguards could hear the fleet of helicopters becoming increasingly defeating, and it was clear to both of them that they were landing on William’s property.William had his head down and his hands clasped over both ears while glaring at the entrance. He had questions forming in his mind and yearning for answers. Who are these people? Are they sent by someone he knew or someone he had never met? Was the target even him? Could they possibly be people who have been offended by Veronica Parker?Following the last question in his mind, William vividly recalled the look of horror on Veronica's face as her body was heavily riddled with bloody bullet holes. Those shoot
William stared at this Arabian man in the distance. Despite his slightly bearded face, there was no doubt that Muhammad Bashan Khan was an incredibly handsome man. His suit was of an exquisite material as well, and the air with which he carried himself gave credibility to how high his status was. Apart from this, William’s eyes shifted to the men pointing their guns at him. Looking at them, he could tell that these were ordinary bodyguards who were under Bashan Khan’s command. But then William’s eyes shifted to those men fighting against his McArthur bodyguards in the farther distance. Over there, it felt like a different space entirely, as the battle going on there was at a destructive level. Those men who have engaged the twenty-two McArthur bodyguards were all clothed in black outfits. Plus, their faces were covered with black clothes, making them look somewhat like ninjas. The most shocking thing about those black-clad men, though, was that they were moving at a similar speed t
William couldn’t help but show an expression of jealousy before he quickly gathered himself. “I see you’re the only one wearing one.” Bashan Khan’s body stiffened as soon as he heard these words. He could no longer feign calmness, and he raised his hand, watching as his gunmen readied their guns at William. “Willi Chain, I will make you take those words as your last on this earth.”William frowned. “Abigail!”“Got it!” Abigail, who had remained ever watchful while shielding William’s body with her own, suddenly dashed towards the fifteen armed men in military uniform. Using her speed and agility, she delivered punches to the faces of these armed men while simultaneously ridding them of their guns. Her punches were tailored to simply knock them unconscious. By the time Abigail dashed back to stand protectively in front of her young master, all fifteen armed men dropped straight to the ground as they had lost consciousness.“You shouldn’t have done that.” Bashan Khan had a displ
It had to be noted that Bashan Khan brought as many as thirty-five masked men with him, along with those fifteen human-level armed men who had been knocked out by Abigail. With these men holding out each other’s hands, a wide circle was formed, enclosing Bashan Khan and William with a human-made boundary.William couldn’t help it as his gaze shifted outside of the artificial ring to find that every single one of the twenty-two McArthur bodyguards had been pounded into an unconscious state. Turning his gaze to the opposite direction, William also noted that Abigail was yet to emerge from the heap of concrete she had been knocked into by those two special soldiers. Understanding the amount of resilience his bodyguards possessed, William knew something was definitely wrong. That specific situation reeked of some sort of foul play.William was right.Bashan Khan’s special had not won the battle against the McArthur bodyguards by playing fair at all. Even though they were able to have
