With each ingredient William touched, the poison was cleansed and the ingredient improved to a whole new level of tastefulness.

Then, William began to work.

However, by now, 3 minutes had already been expended with Caleb far ahead of him, but William didn't panic and moved at a leisurely pace, clearly enjoying the preparations.

Soon enough, the meals were prepared, with Caleb finishing first and William completing his two minutes later.

Caleb grinned triumphantly while also mocking William inwardly.

'I actually thought you noticed the minute traces of poison in the ingredients which was why you didn't dare to cook. If you had decided not to cook, it would have been a means to humiliate you but I guess your pride made you unwilling to back down. Now you'll see, your actions will mark you down as an enemy for life.’

A group of judges were picked out, each one a member of the upper echelons of the gathering with Zayn and Omar among the judges.

Even Mr. Lincoln was there along with two ot

    Victoria could tell that something was wrong but what it was, she couldn't quite figure out.All she knew was that if she left, William would be in danger, and she didn't wish for that, but then again, if she stayed, she would be the one in danger.Taking a deep breath, she intoned. “Mr. Khan, I don't know if you remember me.”“I am well aware of your identity, Miss Smith.”“Great, so you understand that I am not someone that you can just chase away as you please.”“Miss Smith, it is best you excuse us. The discussion myself and Mister Belmont are about to have would be best done with some privacy.”“I see.” Victoria glanced at William who nodded, letting her know it was okay to leave.Faced with no other choice, Victoria ended up taking her leave while William remained.Silence persisted for a few seconds before William decided to break the ice with a question.“I just want to know one thing. Did you have a hand in what happened to your father?... I have reason to believe that.”The

    Snape never expected that he would not even have a chance to fight back.He was killed by his opponent in a mere second!“You are too weak!” William sneered coldly as he flung him away as if he were throwing a piece of trash.He said it in a low voice, but his words were as loud as thunder in the ears of the middle-aged Omar.Omar had seen countless powerful men in his life but he had never seen a cultivator at the sixth stage killed so quickly that he didn't even get a chance to fight back!He died even worse than a chicken!The whole process was so swift that Omar wasn't even able to be of any use.He stared at William in horror as he thought to himself. “Don't tell me this bastard has long since surpassed the sixth stage?’In the cultivation world, all cultivators went through stages, with each stage providing them with an exponential boost in power.The first ten stages were considered the toughest to get through, and due to the sparse spiritual energy in the current world, very f

    Although it was only one move, Omar was now completely certain that his opponent was very powerful.William must have at least reached the ninth stage!For a while none made a move, allowing Omar to stare at William with a terrified look in his eyes.His hand was trembling and he could feel that his hand hand had gone almost completely numb.A trace of fear flashed across his eyes as he said. “Just who exactly are you?”There was no way that the young man before him was an ordinary man.The fact that he had saved Zayn was already an outlier.Following that, his feats left an indelible mark in Omar's mind, letting him know that he had made a horrible mistake in his manner of approach.‘How could someone so young possibly reach the ninth stage?’The only explanation for such an incredible feat was that the young man before him was a martial arts genius who had begun cultivating since young, which allowed him to reach the ninth stage. Just then, William took a step forward and vanished,

    William swiftly found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place as he was attacked on two fronts.On one end were armed guards, all of whom were cultivators and carried guns loaded with spiritual bullets, and on the other end was Omar, who had decided to launch a final attack in a bid to ensure mutual destruction. William didn't dare to underestimate either of the attacks as he understood that a simple mistake was enough to make a great giant.For him, he couldn't risk dying, not yet… not when there was much to do.And so, he acted with the thought of preservation at the forefront.He swiftly grabbed Omar, evading his attack, and then used him as a shield to avoid the incoming bullets.Omar didn't even get a chance to cry out as he was riddled with holes, turning him into cheese in an instant.And so, he lost his life.William thought the armed guards would stop but he couldn't have been more wrong as they increased their firing rate, completely destroying Omar's body, making sur

    Darnell moved through the woods accompanied by 7 of his subordinates, each one armed to the teeth with rifles and cold weapons.He and the rest of those he was with had been given a single directive; kill William Belmont.Though they served as guards of the Khan family, they were actually more killers than guardians.They had been recruited after Zayn's supposed loss to dementia with Omar the reason they were selected.In truth, they were Omar's attempts to slowly erase everything Zayn had done by implanting his own men while also putting those who were against him in their place.Unfortunately, Omar was dead but Darnell didn't much care.To think he was the first person that started shooting the moment he saw William and he didn't stop shooting even after William used Omar as a shield.It was a rather exhilarating experience, and he had to thank William for allowing him to experience it.For that, Darnell, who enjoyed killing targets slowly, decided to end William swiftly.It was his

    Victoria was driving towards her home when she suddenly noticed that a strange car was tailing her.At first, she thought she was overthinking things.But it swiftly became clear that she was correct in her assessment as the car continued to trail behind her and what was worse, it had begun to gain on her.Realizing that she was in danger, she didn't hesitate to speed up in a bid to reach her home quickly but that only caused the people tailing her to abandon any notion of stealth as they chased after her aggressively, swiftly catching up to her before she could get very far.Victoria barely managed to remain calm as she understood that if she was caught, she might not escape alive, so she kept on driving, even as the car was close.Just as she turned a corner, the car came too close for comfort and without hesitation, rammed into her car, causing her car to spiral out of control.Victoria screamed in terror the few seconds before the car slammed into a waiting wall, causing the airba

    When William arrived, Victoria had already had her wrist broken and her ankle crushed.It was clear that Khalid was trying to torture her before ultimately ending her life.He didn't know when he moved, but he did, and he moved with intense fury in his heart.His spiritual energy was like a rabid dog and his eyes blazed with a righteous anger that was unlike any other. William crossed the distance between him and Khalid with a single step, appearing next to the bastard and preventing him from destroying Victoria's throat.Victoria opened her eyes only to lay eyes on him and despite the pain she was experiencing, she still displayed a joyous expression as she muttered. “You came for me.”The next moment, she passed out, and William moved to support her while Khalid backed away in fright; his eyes widened in terror as he stared at William's exposed back. At the forefront of his mind was how William had somehow managed to breach his defense and approach him undetected.Following that w

    When William entered the hospital, he noticed John standing in a corner along with a burly man whose bulky muscles rippled under his clothes,, and his knuckles were covered with calluses.This man was obviously an experienced fighter.Judging from the somber air he was faced with, William could guess that something had gone wrong as he approached John and the burly man.“William.” John greeted him as he rushed over with some worrying news. “I'm sorry, I was too late. By the time I arrived, the nurses told me that someone had already taken Celia and left.”“I see,” William muttered before glancing at the burly man next to John.He was familiar with the individual.His name was Duncan, and he was John's head of security and was a Stage Six cultivator who focused on bodybuilding.“What do we do now?... I'm tracking her position but it might take some time.” John said only for William to respond.“That won't be necessary.”“Huh?... But why?”“They will send for me soon,” William said and

    “Mr. Storm, don’t take it too hard. Although the knife injury damaged your fertility, it can actually be treated. Once you’re recovered, you can have a son, or even ten! It won’t be a problem.” William smiled as he attempted to cheer Oscar up.“Really?” Oscar trembled, his face expectant.In the past six months, the main reason he hadn’t slept with his wife was because he couldn’t get it up.However, because of his dignity as a man, he’d always kept it a secret.So, to hear that he’d be able to rise up again, naturally, he was elated.“Mr. Storm, if I dare to say it, it means I can do it.” As William spoke, he took out a tablet and said, “This is a concoction I created. It helps clear up circulatory pathways and heal internal injuries. Give it a try.”“Okay!” Without another word, Oscar took the concoction and swallowed it.As soon as the tablet entered his system, it turned into a rush of warmth that spread through his body.Instantly, he felt his mood lift, and his body felt better

  • Truly a tragedy

    Some time, seven years ago, Oscar had been on his way to a meeting to discuss a business deal when a hitman suddenly appeared.Fortunately, he didn’t lose his life, but ever since then, his injury had been causing him pain.The problem was that he’d never told anyone about this, so how did William find out?“Mr. Belmont, you’re really amazing! But how could you tell?” Oscar was both shocked and suspicious.“I’m a doctor. For most ailments, you can identify clues from the smallest details.” William replied.“Hahaha… You’re truly a miracle doctor, Mr. Belmont! I acknowledge your talent!” Oscar said.“What a compliment, Mr. Storm. I’m just using my wits.”“Mr. Belmont, could you take a good look and see whether this illness of mine can be cured?” Oscar extended his wrist.William felt for his pulse. Then, he responded, “It’s curable, but it will take some time. That knife injured your kidney, which has affected your ability to have children. Your reproductive ability has also greatly det

  • A gross betrayal

    The others also looked at each other, unable to comprehend what had just unfolded.No one expected that Sir Oscar, the man who had always covered for his wife’s behavior, would smack her with his own hand.“See for yourself!” With a dark look, he threw the phone straight at Miranda.Miranda picked up the phone and took a look. Suddenly, her face turned ashen, as if she’d been struck by lightning.It was the medical checkup report from the hospital, and the diagnosis was indeed Hepatitis C!“How could this happen? No, it can’t be!” Miranda shook her head frantically in utter disbelief. “This medical report must have been falsified! Honey, I don’t have hepatitis. I really don’t!”“Are you still trying to defend yourself at this point?!” Oscar roared, his blood was boiling. Any man would not be able to stomach finding out they were cheated on.Even worse, his wife had contracted a disease because of it.This was simply humiliating!“Honey, I’m sorry! I was just momentarily confused. I’m

  • Uncovering an affair

    “Bastard, you’re humiliating me in public. I’ve got to teach you a lesson! Lee, beat him up!” Miranda flew into a rage and ordered the young bodyguard standing behind her to hit William.However, the bodyguard named Lee was rooted to the floor, his face pale.Cold sweat dripped down his face.“Lee, what are you still standing there for? Do something!” Miranda shouted.“What’s going on?!”At that moment, a middle–aged man suddenly walked in.Two burly bodyguards trailed behind him.“Huh Isn’t that Sir Oscar? What is he doing here?”“That seems to be his wife, Miranda Storm. A good show is about to go down!”“Sir Oscar is known for spoiling his wife. It seems like that punk is going to get it today!”The restaurant broke into a heated discussion when the middle–aged man appeared.“Honey, you’re finally here!” The moment Miranda saw him, she immediately ran into his arms and started to sob. “That guy kept bullying me earlier. You have to help me!”“Who’s the bastard brave enough to bully

  • Just a cold?

    “Oscar is the chairman of the Dynamic Bank and a renowned tycoon in Avalon.” Zara explained.“Oh, I see…” William nodded.“It’s not known to others, but Sir Storm is actually suffering from an illness. He’s seen many doctors. but none of them could cure him. You are an excellent healer, so I invited you here to meet him. I think he’ll be here soon,” Zara explained.As the two were talking, a female voice suddenly sounded from behind them. “Why, isn’t it Ms. Khan?”Turning her head, Zara saw an elegant woman dressed up to the nines in an extravagant custom–made evening gown walking toward her, carrying a Birkin handbag.“Oh, it’s you, Mrs. Storm. Where’s Mr. Storm?” Zara glanced left and right.“What, do you miss my Oscar that much? Ever since the last time you saw him, your heart is still set on him, huh?” Miranda Storm said sarcastically.She had never liked Zara.It was because Zara was an outstanding individual.Not only was she born into a wealthy family, but she was also gorgeous

  • Harold's reckoning

    “Why should I help you?” Stefan questioned.William smirked. “Because it helps us both. The Ghost Army Sect coming to Avalon only means that it won't be long before things go to shit and that would be terrible for business, right?”Stefan nodded in agreement, well aware of what the Ghost Army were capable of.They were monsters wearing human skin, not to be regarded as ordinary men.Even he who dabbled in the underworld wouldn't dare to engage with them.“How can I trust that if they come for me, I'll be safe?”William replied. “You will.”As he said that, he released his spiritual pressure which caused the entire Hendricks manor to tremble as though it has been hit by an earthquake.Then, William stood up, and although he had a smile on his face, Stefan somehow felt a chilliness surging from the bottom of his heart.Stefan didn’t react for a long time, even after William and John left.He reckoned that his assumption of William being the real murderer and attempting to seek revenge o

  • The mastermind is revealed

    William smiled faintly. “What? Mr. Hendricks, are you trying to threaten me? So much for bringing a gift for you.”“Gift?” Stefan narrowed his eyes with suspicion.He wasn’t that naive to think that William would really bring him any gift.Given the current relationship between the two parties, he would have had someone break William’s limbs this morning if not for his connection with the Smith family.He reckoned that William was well aware of this too.William didn’t say much either. He raised his hand and tossed the killer behind him.The heavy corpse fell to the ground, revealing the look of panic and horror that had already stiffened on his face.There was a hole in the middle of his eyebrows, from which blood was gushing out endlessly.Clearly, the corpse belonged to a person who had just died.Greatly startled, Stefan and the rest of the Hendricks family subconsciously took two steps back.Many of them even exclaimed in astonishment.But Stefan had been through all sorts of sit

  • Get lost

    However, regardless of the reason, the killer panicked in the face of impending death and hurriedly said, “Don’t… don’t kill me! I’ll tell you anything you want to know! Yes, it was a young man named Harold O'Malley who gave me a hundred and fifty thousand to get me to help him kill Paul Hendricks without leaving a trace! If you have any other questions, I will definitely tell you everything I know! Just don’t kill me! Please… ah!”William frowned and picked a small stone on the table next to him.Then he flicked it at the killer.Like a bullet out of a gun, the marble-sized stone directly pierced through the brow of the killer, making him stop speaking.He would never have the chance to say anything again in his life.If the killer could be as tough as he was at the beginning and abide by the rules of his industry, perhaps William would have still thought highly of him.But William didn’t see the need to be kind to someone who was greedy for money, afraid of death, and would kill any

  • Fishing out the real culprit

    Paul and Victoria had previously been engaged, and through his intuition, William sensed that there might be some kind of connection between the two.The most direct speculation William made was that someone didn’t want the marriage alliance between the Smiths and the Hendricks to happen.The killer in black sneered and said adamantly, “Do you think I will tell you? In our line of work, the rule of thumb is to keep our lips sealed about our clients’ information. I won’t tell even if you kill me!”William raised his eyebrows.The killer seemed to be quite a person of principle.But seeing the panic on his face that he couldn’t hide, William reckoned that he probably wouldn’t be as tight-lipped as he claimed to be.If subjected to some torture methods, he certainly wouldn’t be so unrelenting.William had more than a hundred ways to force this killer to speak.But William really couldn’t be bothered.“The person who sent you to kill Paul Hendricks is Harold O'Malley, right?” William sudd
