“Now was that so hard?” John asked Raymond as he relaxed back into his chair, his pleasant demeanor returning.

After that, John's Mercedes Benz pulled away, leaving Raymond with his back drenched in cold sweat and his hands trembling.

“Boss, are you alright?” One of his men asked worriedly.

Raymond didn't even bother responding as he turned to his crew and declared. “Listen up!... From now on, we'll bury the hatchet with Mr. Belmont. Anyone who dared to provoke him will have to answer to me, too!... I'll wipe up their entire family!”

“But what about Jacob's request?”

“Screw Jacob and screw the Ladder family!... If they dare to show their face here, I won't hesitate to teach them a lesson they will never forget!”

While Raymond was a member of the Sinister Six, he was not about to go against John who had enough wealth and connections to ensure that he would be done for good.

Meanwhile, Jacob Ladder had just finished a meeting with a few board members of his father's company when he s

    Jacob had bandages wrapping his injured face.He felt a headache as he explained to Chloe who was clearly fuming, “I didn't leave you on purpose, Chloe. You saw how many people chased me, right?... They might have hurt you if I brought you with me. I was just trying to draw them out.”Chloe brushed off the mud in her hair and looked at the bandages Jacob with concern.Then she said, “Is that true?... Aw, I knew it. I was wrong to scold you, my dear. Are you still in pain?”Jacob groaned and replied. “Yes, I am.”Chloe remained furious as she asked. “Do you think the Great Devourer has gone insane?... Why did he tell his men to beat you without meeting you?”Jacob was just as conflicted as her. “There must be a misunderstanding. I'll investigate but please take me home first.”With no other choice, Chloe took Jacob home to get some rest with the latter deciding to no longer pursue the matter with William or Zara.He couldn't even touch Zara if he wanted considering the family she was a

  • The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates   Soul Crusher

    William pursed his lips as the nickname sounded familiar.According to what he knew, Soul Crusher was a man of barbarian cruelty, always paying for the blood of his next victim.Any offenders who fell into his hands could only pray for an outcome less than horrific.“Nice to meet you, Mr. Rick. I’ve heard a lot about you.”Despite the severity of the situation, William seemed relatively calm and breezy.“Great! Given that you’ve heard of my name, I assume you’re familiar with my habits. I recommend that you learn your place and cooperate. That is your only hope of leaving here alive!”The inspector lit a cigar, slid it between his teeth, and took a deep breath.“Mr. Rick, what do you need my cooperation for?” William asked with a calm voice.“You stole from a very important person, and the law can sentence you to prison. However, I am giving you the chance to straighten out the issue with the person. If we reach a mutual agreement, no charges will be pressed.”“You claim I defrauded a

    “Quick… call someone! We have to go to the police station,” John instructed Duncan after which he coldly added, “That fat fuck Rick. If he dares touch a hair on William's head, I’ll skin him alive!”“Boss, shouldn’t you remain calm?” Duncan's lips twitched with irony.“To hell with calm!” John bellowed before adding. “What are you doing still lingering around? We have to get him out of there!”After slapping Duncan awake, John darted out the door.Deep in his heart, he prayed, “Rick, Rick, you fat motherfucker better not mess around! If you do, I swear I'll make you regret it!”As the chaos unfolded in the outside world, nothing but peace and calm hung in the air of the inspector’s office at the police station.“What’s the situation, Mr. Rick? Has the kid accepted yet?” asked Clinton's subordinate, Terrence as soon as he sat down.“It doesn’t matter whether he has or not. Any prisoner who falls into my hands is sure to give in eventually.”The fat inspector took another drag of his ci

    “Sir, what’s wrong?” Terrence asked cautiously.“What’s wrong? Where did you get the guts to ask me that?” Rick slapped a palm onto the table. “Didn’t you say the arrogant asshole had no background? Mr. Stone just called to speak to me about the fellow! Does that sound like someone with no background to you? Are you deliberately trying to set me up, you motherfucker?!”Victoria Smith was already a handful.Now that John Stone was also in the picture, this was equivalent to stripping him down and tying him to a skewer over an open fire.“No way! There’s no way that he has relations with Mr. Stone! I–I really didn’t know about this,” Terrence stuttered as the color drained from his face.“Quick, call Clinton now. This situation is getting way out of hand. He’ll have to pay me more if he wants this matter settled smoothly,” Rick ordered.“Alright, alright. I will call Sir Clinton immediately!”Terrence did not hesitate as he dialed Clinton’s number.Over the phone, he briefly explained R

    All of them were dead in an instant, bleeding from their internal wounds.“Help, anybody! Please help!” Rick turned pale and whirled around to escape.William kicked the limp body of a man lying beside him.It flew like a bullet and crashed into Rick, who was attempting to escape.He screamed in pain and fell to the ground, unable to run any longer.“I warned you, didn't I?” William strolled up to him and hissed murderously, his eyes boring dangerously into Rick.“Bastard, don’t forget you’re in the police station! You can’t go too far!” Rick backed away on all fours.“Too far? What will you do about it?” William chuckled as he crushed Rick’s arm with his foot.The immense pain from his broken arm caused Rick to howl in agony.“Come back to your senses, you arrogant bastard! Accept the conditions so that you still have a chance to save yourself. If not, there will be no mercy!” Rick threatened with a grimace.Without a word, William kicked Rick in the stomach.Rick spurted out the con

  • The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates   Secretary Gray

    Victoria alone was tough enough to handle.If John joined in the fray, things might get out of hand.“If I didn’t show up, would you listen to reason?” John retorted angrily.“Mister Stone, I informed you in the call last time. Give me some time so I can look into it. If there’s a mistake. I will let him go immediately.” Rick tried to wriggle his way out.“I have no time to waste yapping with you. Let my brother go this instant!” John ordered impatiently.The corrupted ways of the police inspector were well known.If they had waited for the investigation to end, William would have been dead and gone.“As an inspector, I must capture wanted criminals and protect the peace of the city. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my actions,” Rick defended himself.“Rick, I’m giving you one last chance. I’m warning you; let him go immediately. If not, you shall die a painful death!” John coldly said.“Mister Stone, are you threatening me? Don’t you know the consequences of going against th

    “Mister Stone! You slapped and shot me in the ear for that punk’s sake! You have gone too far! Now that my father–in–law is here, let’s see how you will explain this to him!” Rick snickered with a resentful expression on his face.Weren’t they so brazen a minute ago?He couldn’t wait to see how impudent they would be now that his father-in-law was here!“What a coincidence; his timing was perfect. Secretary Gray knows how to make an entrance!” Victoria frowned slightly.Secretary Gray’s position as secretary to the minister was not to be trifled with.Even with Victoria and John’s influence, Secretary Gray’s decision would be final.More importantly, Secretary Gray and Rick are related by marriage which made it almost a certainty that he would support Rick and whatever decision the fat bastard takes.“Secretary Gray, your son–in–law is guilty of distorting the truth, taking bribes, and accusing the innocent. We aren't leaving here until he releases the person he wrongly arrested!”Def

    Terrence turned back and glanced at William, who had remained silent all this while. He had an expression of indifference on his face as if he had known this would happen all along. Who was this man, and why was Secretary Gray treating him with such respect? “Arrest all the other men as well!” Secretary Gray barked an order. Terrence and Rick’s men were all apprehended. Rick and Terrence stared at each other in despair. It was obvious that they would have to pay for their crimes. “What–What’s happening?” Victoria couldn’t wrap her head around the plot twist. She expected trouble when Secretary Gray appeared. Unexpectedly Secretary Gray did not find fault with them. Furthermore, he fired Rick and threw him into prison. Who could have expected Secretary Gray to do such a thing to his own son–in–law? “Are you William? I can tell that you are a capable young man.” After he had tied up the loose ends, Secretary Gray walked up to William with a rare smile on his ste

  • Pain and misery

    “William? Hurry up and go. Don’t care about me —” Victoria cried out weakly.When she saw William, she thought she’d finally be saved, but she never expected that Conrad would have a gun, so she instantly panicked.“Weren’t you talking so big, dipshit? Ha, you still have to admit defeat to our family. I guess you’re scared now, eh?” Conrad raised his gun and sniggered. “You better grovel if you don’t want to die, or I’ll send a bullet straight through your head!”“Grovel? As if you’re worthy of that.” William glared at the other man.“Worthy?” Conrad grinned maniacally and fired two shots near William’s feet. “I don’t want you to just grovel. I’ll fuck your woman right in front of you!”“Y–you shameless bastard!” Victoria’s chest rose and fell violently as she fumed. However, because of the drug, her flushed face looked more alluring than ever.“So what? I’ll have my fill with you before dealing with that brat!” Conrad declared.“I planned to finish you off in one go, but I changed my

    Without anyone noticing, he slipped a pill into her wine and smiled. “You still want to drink, don’t you. Victoria?... Let me join you.”He poured another glass for Victoria.Victoria, who was already tipsy, didn’t notice anything wrong and downed the glass without a word.Soon, her head became heavy and her vision blurred, making her sway.“Mr. Dennings, I think Ms. Smith is drunk.” Tanya returned just then.“It’s alright. I’ll send her home now. Her family’s worried sick.” Conrad promised with a kind smile.“Alright. Thanks, Ms. Dennings.” Tanya didn’t think too much about it and helped carry Victoria into Conrad’s car.Since the car only had two seats, she could only watch as the car’s headlights disappeared.“Humph! You’re finally in my arms. You like acting high and mighty, don’t you? Well, I’ll have some fun with you tonight.” Conrad smiled sinisterly and headed straight to the hotel.Meanwhile, William was in Oscar’s house, discussing a variety of things when his phone started

  • A great favor

    “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

    “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

    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
