This was another brilliant question by William. According to the story, it made sense that the McArthur bodyguards would obey Antonia more than her father, as they all came from her. It also made sense that they gravitated towards Antonia’s son after she died as he was her direct descendant. But as the years went by, the McArthur family grew in extensions, and there were now a lot of people carrying Antonia’s bloodline. Why are the McArthur bodyguards only following Billiard’s commands at the highest?This time, Commander Gideon gave William the reply. “Young Master, it’s not that complicated at all. Ever since the McArthur family began growing in numbers, as descendants multiplied, we began resonating with more than one person, so we exerted the power of choice. We, as the McArthur bodyguards, choose who we give out loyalty to, putting great recognition in the position of the family head.”William nodded his head. “basically, your ability to choose us is not hindered by the lack o
“Except you shouldn’t forget that such a technological device already existed on Uthrra Island centuries ago.” Billiard wiggled his right index finger at William. “Ancestor Antonia didn’t leave her home empty-handed. She had various complex plans, a lot of which she began enacting once she got on the North American continent. One of the things she took away from Uthrra Island was the blueprint to create creatures from the single cell of a parent subject. The machine was specifically created for the McArthur bodyguards, to maintain Uthrra Island’s reign once they’ve conquered the world. Long before her death, Antonia and her son were able to finish building this technological device, and over the years, it has been remodeled.”William was astonished. “A device capable of creating a human being from a single cell.” He rubbed a palm on the back of his neck. “In that case, why not just create more McArthur bodyguards? Or is the thousands under the family command already satisfactory?”“
William took about three days to fully digest the origin of his ancestor. For the most, the incidents that took place on Uthrra Island were simply too astonishing to swallow whole. In fact, the existence of Uthrra Island in the Bermuda Triangle was mind-blowing alone. During these few days, William familiarized himself more with the McArthur bodyguards, going to the Colosseum to watch the thousands of men and women train intensely on a daily basis. It was clear to him by now that none of them took their existential role as protectors of the McArthur family members lightly. It simply reminded him of how Abigail and the one hundred McArthur bodyguards would train intensely daily back at the William estate in Bel Air City.After spending hours watching these bodyguards train, he would then head inside the base, going underground to check on how fast Abigail and the twenty-two McArthur bodyguards were recuperating well. He was able to draw out their stats and he was relieved to see th
For the rest of the week, William checked out the various sectors of operations in the McArthur estate, like the Intelligence Unit’s base. There, he read up on various information, all of which he now had access to. There was now very little restriction to knowledge placed upon him by his grandfather. Billiard’s words were direct when he praised his grandson for passing all the tests he threw his way.“Through all the challenges that have either been placed as obstacles in your path, including the ones that you accidentally found yourself in, you have shown great results in the application of intelligence and intuition when tackling them. I’m proud to call you my grandson. I’m proud to call you the heir to the McArthur business empire, and I’m truly happy to let you know that your beginning trial is now over. With that, you are no longer restricted in terms of the information you can access. If there is information that can’t be accessed or you come across ones that haven’t been unco
William quickly raised a palm to silence her. “It’s okay, Abigail.” He then brought the hand to lightly pinch his prominent nose bridge between his thumb and index finger. “Let’s forget about that desert bastard for now.” His gaze regained its coldness as soon as he mentioned that man. “In time, he will pay for what he did; every single piece.”Abigail quickly stood at attention. “And I and my team will gladly do our part to achieve this.”“Yes, Young Master William!” The twenty-two McArthur bodyguards chorused once again in support of their leader’s words. By the end of the second week, William was far more familiar with the incredibly expansive land that was his family’s home. It was also the best two weeks in a long time for him. Spending it without worrying about classes or having to deal with the multitudes of attacks from his enemies. That following evening, things changed.Billiard looked up from his seat at the dining table, staring at his grandson who was simply too dist
“Welcome to the McArthur Headquarters, Mr. Chain.” The middle-aged man seated in a luxuriously designed officer stretched out his right hand, initiating a handshake.“Thank you, Sir.” William took the man’s handshake. “I still can’t believe I was given this opportunity by the greatest conglomerate in the world.” He spoke with an enthusiastic demeanor.The middle-aged man stared at William with a smile. “please, I’m sure there are other conglomerates around the globe holding their own against us, but I appreciate the idolization, kid.” He leaned forward across the desk. “When I got your profile, I have to say, I was quite impressed by your achievements at such an age. You uncovered a lost family inheritance, and you single-handedly used it to build an impressionable reputation for yourself. You went from being looked down upon to being praised by those around you.”William smiled slightly while maintaining a simple aura. “I only did what I knew best. I’ve always paid attention to th
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door and an incredibly elegant woman walked into the office. “Good morning, M.D. Corks. I was informed that my presence is needed.”William turned around at the feminine voice to find a tall woman with sharp features and wavy blonde hair caressing her face. She looked like a model who was in her late twenties, but William knew that this woman was in her early forties instead. He had seen her profile from the files that were sent to him days ago.Steven Corks smiled warmly at the woman. “Oh, Mrs. Bright, you’re finally here.” He then gestured a hand in William’s direction. “I believe you’ve been made aware that we have a new intern joining us?” He didn’t wait for a reply. “This is Mr. William Chain, the latest no.1 product of BAU. Mr. Chain, meet your assigned Supervisor, Mrs. Cordelia Bright.”William got up and greeted this woman. Soon, Cordelia Bright led William out of the managing director’s office.As soon as he was alone in his
William took a quick scan through the faces of all seven young adults standing a few feet away from him and his supervisor, Cordelia Bright. There were four interns standing in the first row, consisting of three young men and one young woman. As for the second row, it consisted of the remaining three young adults, though they looked older than William and the first four interns. All seven interns had attractive features, looking dashing and beautiful in their respective outfits and accessories, all on the expensive side in terms of costs.“Interns, meet your newest co-worker, William Chain.” Cordelia then turned to William. “And William, meet your fellow interns. The four interns in the front row are Junior Interns just like you.”William smiled and waved at these four people. “Hello, guys. I’m William Chain. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” These four junior interns kept quiet, either staring at him with varying degrees of arrogance or not even giving him a glance at all. The atmo
