"What are you saying?!" Andrew tightened his grip on Steve's collar. His eyes widened, and the mention of William's name sent Andrew's mind into chaos.

"I said, I'm under Mr. William. You surely know who William is, right? Just so you know, he's going after everyone who has destroyed his group. If you still want to live, you better stop, Andrew."

Steve grinned, his teeth stained with blood, relishing the turmoil on Andrew's face.

Andrew glanced at Orlando, who was still lying on the floor. "Hey, bastard, is it true that you're working with William?"

"Can you guys stop mentioning William in front of me? I have nothing to do with that idiot's name! It's not my concern if he's under William or anyone else." Orlando glanced at Andrew, saliva mixed with blood dripping from his mouth.

Doubt crept into Andrew's heart. Everything that had happened, from his encounter with William to the strange book in the room and today's events, seemed like a deliberate setup.

However, Erica's battered face

    Andrew was now at the point of surrender. The only remaining hope was that the man in front of him would accept his offer to save Erica. "Take this girl away and give her the treatment she needs. No one should touch her, let alone mistreat her. Remember that!" The tall man turned to his members and pointed at five men standing beside them. Instantly, those five men lowered their weapons and approached Erica. One of them grabbed Erica roughly, causing Andrew's younger sister to scream in pain. "Hey! How dare you touch my sister! I won't spare you!" Andrew caught the man's hand and twisted it forcefully, causing the sound of bones cracking. "Calm down, Mr. Andrew; they won't do anything foolish." With a cold expression, the tall man faced the man whose hand was still in Andrew's grip and slapped him, causing him to fall. "I said not to touch her! Didn't you hear that, moron?!" "Hey! What have you done?! Why did you release that whore?" Steve shouted, his protest rising upon hearing

    Roger approached Andrew, sitting next to him while lighting a cigarette. Meanwhile, Andrew continued to glare at William's guy."Do you want to smoke?" Roger offered the cigarette to Andrew."No, I want answers about William. That would be more calming than the nicotine in your cigarette," Andrew replied.Roger smiled and took a satisfying drag from the cigarette. Puffs of smoke escaped the firm-jawed man's mouth. Andrew observed him carefully; his eyes fixated on the lips that he hoped would soon explain William."Just tell me, whoever you are. Am I also going to be killed soon? At the very least, I want to know the secret plans of William. I don't want to die wondering because everything that has happened is clearly connected. Perhaps it was all planned since we met on that street.""You won't die, Mr. Andrew. Who would dare to kill you? Mr. William is aware of this issue. He instructed me to eliminate Steve. He will die soon, and anyone who touches you won't survive, Mr. Andrew. Ev

    Roger immediately took Andrew out of the building and headed towards the black sedan parked near the iron trash bin. Andrew looked around and asked, "Where's Orlando?"Roger didn't answer the question but quickened his pace towards the ready-to-depart car. A man near the car immediately opened the door as Roger and Andrew approached.Andrew was positioned in the back seat, where Erica was already waiting for him. Erica gave her older brother a warm, sorrowful hug. "I was so worried about your safety, Andrew!"Tears dampened Andrew's shoulder as he looked at his healed younger brother's face, bringing him some relief. Furthermore, Erica wore a black jacket covering her exposed chest from the dress. At least Roger's gang treated Erica with decency.The car quickly departed once Roger got in. Andrew immediately asked the same question, "Where's Orlando? Why isn't he in the room anymore? Have you secured him?""Yes, you don't need to worry, Mr. Andrew. I will inform you about Orlando's fa

    A black car arrived at a small house on the city's outskirts, its headlights dimmed. The house appeared shabby and uninhabitable, with tall grass and scattered trash. Roger's cold face emerged from the car; he wore black sunglasses and a matching hat. He swiftly walked into the house. The early morning silence created an eerie atmosphere surrounding the house.Roger entered through the back door, and the car that brought him was parked under a large tree next to the house. The tree was so big that the sedan was barely visible from the front."Mr. Roger!" Two men, wearing tank tops and engrossed in their phones on a sofa, immediately stood up and lowered their heads as Roger entered."Where is he?" Roger looked around the dimly lit room."He's in the bedroom, Mr. Roger."One of the men pointed to a room nearby. Roger quickly walked towards the room.As the door opened, a man, Orlando, was seen sleeping on a bed. Roger slammed the bedroom door, startling Orlando."Shit! What are you doi

    "Andrew! Andrew!"Erica's shouts and knocks on the door woke Andrew up. Andrew, who had fallen asleep on the desk, felt an immense pain in his head. He had been unable to sleep soundly all night, thinking about ways to cure William as soon as possible.The guidebook he found became a witness to how he repeatedly studied and read the section titled "The Cure One.""Andrew! Aren't you awake yet? There's important news!" Erica continued to insist."Comin'!" Andrew grumbled and reluctantly made his way to the door. His face was furrowed, annoyed at being woken up from his mere two-hour sleep. "What do you want, Erica?!""Sorry if I'm disturbing you; I thought you were already awake. There's something I want to show you."Erica handed her phone to Andrew, showing a video clarification from Smith, Orlando's father, on one of the news portal pages.Andrew's eyes widened immediately, and he took his sister's phone. His hands quickly played the video."Good morning, everyone. I, Gerard Smith,

    A brand new shiny car was parked in front of William's mansion. An elderly man, none other than Smith, stepped out of the car wearing a gray suit. His eyes were covered with dark sunglasses, and although his gaze was unseen and his facial expression was flat, anyone who saw Smith could tell that he was nervous and restless. He swallowed his saliva twice, and even when William's guard approached him and asked him to enter the house, Smith did it again."Mr. Andrew and Mr. William are waiting for you, Sir. Please follow me."William followed the fierce-looking man's steps. This afternoon's meeting was the result of a mutual agreement. He couldn't refuse the phone call from William asking him to come.Smith considered himself careless for suggesting a public video clarification with Andrew."I should have just called Andrew and invited him to meet privately. I'm such a fool," he murmured to himself.Andrew immediately rose from his chair when his ears caught the sound of the door opening

    "Forgive me, Mr. Smith; I've tried to help you, but... I hope you understand what's happening. Mr. William is a stern person; he wants his desires fulfilled. I couldn't do anything; I must admit; he's the one who saved me from the chaos caused by Orlando."Smith appeared to hold back his tears, and disappointment was evident in his eyes when he heard Orlando's name mentioned by Andrew.Smith embraced Andrew. Their meeting in Andrew's room was quite warm, and Andrew's sympathy for Smith grew stronger."If only I had been wiser, things wouldn't have gone this far. I deeply regret it, Andrew. I know you're a very good person; how could you have committed the crimes Orlando accused you of?"The 63-year-old man's sobbing only made Andrew feel more guilty for William's actions.Andrew then tried to give Smith a little strength to calm him down. He gently rubbed Smith's back, and a ray of light emerged from between his fingers and entered the middle-aged man's body.Smith's crying subsided;

    Two cars were parked in front of an empty house on the city's outskirts. Smith stepped out with three of his men, holding a brown suitcase in his hand. His face appeared resigned, as the moment to relinquish his company drew closer. His steps seemed weak as he ascended the stairs of the large house, which looked like a haunted mansion."Sir, why must we meet in a place like this? Wouldn't it be better to suggest they meet us at the company?" one of Smith's men protested. Smith glanced at his men and said, "Shut up! Don't talk too much. We just need to deliver this file and leave. Remember, we're dealing with William. Say the wrong thing, and you could end up dead!"The three men behind Smith shuddered in horror. In truth, Smith had initially proposed to hold the meeting at his own house. However, William had refused and designated this empty house as the location for the transaction to receive the company's documents. Smith had briefly considered involving the police but quickly dismi

    Jerome hid under the blanket. What had happened to the three men earlier terrified him."Am I going to die? They definitely won't stay quiet; they'll come back," Jerome mumbled, clutching tightly to the edge of the blanket that covered his body.The sound of a knock on the door startled him, his heart seeming to leap out of his chest. Sweat, which had been absent, now surged all over his body, but the tension eased slightly when he heard his mother's voice."Jerome, are you home?" Meghan, his mother, called out.Jerome quickly hid the necklace he was wearing under his shirt and hurried to open the door for Meghan. His eyes narrowed as he glanced out the window, seeing a man kissing Meghan's neck affectionately."My son! Where have you been, sleeping?" Meghan asked with a broad smile."Who is this?" Jerome asked, looking at the man with jet-black hair who was now fondling Meghan's backside.Meghan pushed the man's hand away awkwardly and was about to answer her only child's question wh

    Tampa, January 11, 2024"Jerome, you idiot, can you stop blocking our way!"The shout came from a burly man wearing a black jacket. He was walking with two of his friends, pushing a thin man with curly hair named Jerome Hashford.Jerome, who had fallen, could only look gloomily at the three popular guys on his campus. He then got up and fixed his glasses that had fallen off."How long are you going to stay silent and let yourself be bullied? I'm tired of seeing you like this," said Hans, one of the other popular guys.Hans stood with his girlfriend Margareth, the woman Jerome adored. They both looked furious seeing the three bullies, who were now further away but still laughing."Thanks for the advice, Hans.""I'm not giving advice, Jerome. This is your third year here, and you still stay silent. I mean, why? What are you afraid of? Fight back! You're a man!"Jerome swallowed his saliva and just nodded, saying, "Yes, next time I will try to fight back. I have to go now; I don't want to

    The offer seemed reasonable to Calvin, and he handed his phone to Andrew, saying, "Fine! A simple thing that I can easily comply with. Now, make the call, Nania, execute your plan, and be prepared to lose your life if everything fails, Andrew!" "My heart is yours; shoot me if you want. You can sell all my organs on the black market. I'm sure you'll get many times richer because I'm a healthy person. No alcohol, no cigarettes, no drugs, and I don't have any family to look for me if I die. Fair enough, right? At least, your pain from my deception to your mistress can be healed." The nameless old man then nodded and said, "Deal, I agree to your offer! Please get my phone from the car; I left it in the bag under the driver's seat. Let's call Nania now."

    Two cold drinks were served on the table in a hospital cafeteria, where the middle-aged woman healed by Andrew was located.Andrew and the man named Stuart sat facing each other. Stuart appeared to be reading a presentation provided by Andrew on his phone."This is an excellent opportunity for me. I, who don't have a background in employment, chosen as a warehouse manager, amazing! I will definitely accept this offer, Sir! I won't waste this opportunity," Stuart exclaimed with sparkling eyes.Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Don't call me 'Sir'; I don't like it. And indeed, this is a great opportunity. You don't need to rent anymore; there's a small house within the vicinity of my company where you can stay. I'll also provide a car for your transportation and supply the groceries and essentials for the house."Stuart was stunned; he chuckled nervously before returning the phone to his hand. So embarrassed hearing what Andrew offered, Stuart ended up finishing his drink in front of him.Andr

    Andrew looked gloomy as he stared out of the car window on the way to Stanley's house, the owner of the subsidiary forcibly acquired by William. Roger, noticing Andrew's demeanor, nudged his arm and asked, "What are you thinking?" Andrew raised both eyebrows. "I don't know, just bored, spending time that feels quite monotonous. I'm curious about what made William love a life like this so much." "Money, power, and immortality, the three components always held by William," replied Roger. "Anyway, enjoy what's happening now. After talking to Stanley, let's find some pleasure at the bar." Andrew rolled his eyes and shook his head. "It's not a choice that will make me happy. You know, I--." Andrew's eyes were caught by an elderly woman holding her chest on the side of the road in front of a flower shop. Instantly, he tapped the driver's shoulder and asked to stop. "Why, Andrew?" Roger asked. Andrew didn't speak; when the car stopped, he got out and approached the old woman with white

    A group of paparazzi from various local media outlets were crowded in front of Daniella's company, which Andrew would reopen today. Whispers of admiration for the magnificence of this construction company could be heard. Some of them compared it to the grandeur of the late William's company. "It's only natural; she's William's child. It seems she intentionally made her parents' two companies similar!" one paparazzo remarked. From inside the company, Andrew could be seen smiling while puffing on a cigar. Every word from the paparazzi was clearly audible to him. "I wonder about Marcel's reaction. I want to see how annoyed he'll be when he sees this huge company rise again. I truly have become William, haven't I, Roger?" Andrew asked while looking at Roger beside him. "Literally, you are a replica of William. But, I guarantee your pleasure in having two giant companies under your leadership won't drive you to break the rules like William did before, right?" "There's a hint of trauma
