“Watch your mouth, asshat!” Harold coldly said only for William to raise a brow with his hands in his pocket.

Snorting derisively, William soon left with Victoria while Harold could only stare at Victoria's endowed behind.

Clicking his tongue as he struggled to understand why William was always so lucky with the ladies, Harold turned to leave only to get a call at that moment.

Furrowing his brows, he picked it up only to discover that it was Elena Kingston.

He went wide-eyed in an instant as he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.

Trembling, he answered the call. “Hello.”

“Harold, you bastard!... How dare you do this?... What the hell are you doing at Magnificent Club with some other bitch!... Have you forgotten that I'm the one that got you the invite, yet you are spending it on another woman?”

“That…”

“I'm on my way there right now and if it turns out that you are there, don't think that you'll be able to survive my wrath!”

After saying that, the call ended, leavi

    But Elena ignored her outstretched hand and stared unwaveringly at her necklace.“That necklace, where did you get them from?” she asked icily.“My boyfriend gave them to me. It's custom made so you won’t be able to find a similar one out there. But of course, Miss Kingston, if you fancy them, I can give them to you.” Ava was secretly delighted.“Even the daughter of the wealthiest man can’t resist this necklace,” she thought to herself.“Boyfriend?”Elena’s expression clouded over. “Is it Harold O'Malley?”The reason why she asked was because she had received the exact necklace from Harold as compensation for what he'd done at the car dealership.“Oh! Do you know Harold too, Miss Kingston?... In that case, we’re friends too!” Ava’s eyes lit up.Who knew that a necklace would be the key to her success?“Who’s your friend? Bitch!”Elena glared at Ava and struck her across the face.A loud, crisp sound was heard.Ava was at a loss as she held her cheek in her hand. “Miss Kingston, why d

    The crowd was collectively taken aback by the accusation, If the culprit had been a creep, they would have gone ahead and taught him a lesson.But it turns out that the person whom Elena had accused of stealing her belongings was an enchanting beauty.Everyone was at a loss.“Isn’t that the popular actress Celia Rodriguez? Why would she steal?”“Exactly! Everyone knows Ms. Rodriguez. She wouldn’t stoop so low, would she?”“One may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. Who knows what vile Intentions this lady is hiding behind her glamorous appearance?”The men were generally doubtful of Elena’s accusation, whereas the ladies trusted her fully.“Miss Kingston, there must be some sort of misunderstanding. I have not stolen anything.”Celia took a moment to regain her composure before denying Elena’s accusation.She had never thought that Elena would pin it on her.“A quick search should easily be able to tell us whether or not you did it.” A faint smile gra

    When Elena finally stopped, Celia’s face was swollen and blotched, with streaks of blood coming out the corner of her mouth.“Why? Why?” Celia asked breathlessly, trying to regain her bearings.“You dare to ask why? Are you unaware of what you have done, you bitch!” Elena reached forCelia’s hair again and slammed her head hard to the ground.Blood gushed out immediately. A mixture of blood and wine dripped down Celia’s face.The sight of Celia lying on the ground and unable to get up did not garner any sympathy from Elena; in fact, it seemed to excite her.She raised her leg and stomped hard on Celia’s palm.“Ah!” Celia could finally hold in no longer, and a shriek escaped her. A piercing pain overtook her senses.“You shameless tramp! You like flirting around with other men, don’t you? I’d like to see if you’d ever seduce my boyfriend again!” A crazed smile crept up on Elena’s face as she repeatedly stepped on Celia’s hand with her stilettos.Each time, it struck with greater bruta

    William, to pass the time, sat off to the side, looking more like a bystander to the match than a participant.Soon enough, Steven and Conrad finished their sparring match with theatrical flourishes, removing their gloves and bowing to their female audience. “Steven, your taekwondo skills have improved tremendously during your time abroad. You must be close to the professional level now!” Conrad exclaimed.Steven chuckled modestly. “Well, between my studies, I managed to reach an eighth-degree black belt. It's nothing too special.”Conrad gasped. “Eighth degree?... Holy, that's incredible!... No wonder I could only last two rounds against you!... You must be tougher than most professionals!”“Don't sell yourself short, Conrad. At least you held out for two rounds. With my rank, I'm probably as good as it gets around these parts.”“Steven, you are just amazing. A black belt at such a young age, that's unbelievable!” Conrad praised. William's head was spinning from their ridiculous mu

    Just as Steven made to attack William, Victoria returned.Unfortunately, she wasn't quick enough to deduce what was happening and so could only watch as Steven attacked William with ill intent.However, William wasn't about to let things go just like that as he decided not to hold back since it was clear Steven wanted his life.Since you want my life, then try and take it if you dare!He raised his hand and threw a simple counterpunch.Compared to Steven's elaborate technique, William's move looked basic and crude.Victoria covered her eyes, bracing herself for what she thought would be an unfortunate turn of events, and soon enough, a loud crack was heard, followed by the sound of fists colliding.Steven felt his arm bone cracking as though it had been struck by a steel bar, causing sweat to break out on his forehead from the intense pain.But he clenched his teeth to avoid showing weakness while inwardly shocked by William's incredible strength.Realizing that the first exchange was

    After he was done asking questions, William rose to his feet with Celia in his arms before turning to regard Ava.“Did you come with a car?”“... Yes,” Ava replied, feeling too embarrassed to say that Harold had left them.“Where is it?” “It's gone.”“Take her things and return home.” William simply said before proceeding to take his leave.“Wait, where are you taking her?”“The hospital.” Came the simple response before William took his leave.***At the front of the Kingston family's manor, it was extremely lively. All the powerful figures in Avalon had arrived, with all kinds of luxury cars parked outside.It was Donald Kingston’s 80th birthday and the man was also a legendary figure. He was Elena’s grandfather with many industries under his name.In addition to the family business, he also managed more than ten entertainment venues and his connections were extremely wide.In Avalon, the Kingstons could be considered a top-notch wealthy family, a title that was bolstered by the

    William’s expression turned cold as he intoned. “One chooses his own path. Hence, I now declare that the Kingston family is done for!”This statement provoked another burst of laughter with each of them looking at him as though he were a fool.Did he just say that the Kingstons are done for?The Kingstons were thriving and powerful!A nameless bastard saying that they were done for was as ridiculous as him saying that he wanted to pluck the moon from the sky.“It seems if we don't teach you a lesson, you won't understand the situation. For daring to harm my grandchildren, I will make you pay the price!”With that, Donald called for the family's personal bodyguards who immediately rushed out in their numbers. But that wasn't all, as dignitaries that were present saw an opportunity for the Kingstons to owe them a favor, and so sent their bodyguards as well.Soon enough, William was surrounded by more than a hundred armed bodyguards but he didn't even act flustered in the slightest as h

    “What are you going to do now?” John asked with William replying.“None of your business.”After saying that, William didn't bother to wait, quickly taking his leave, leaving John to stand alone.“Boss.”“It's fine.” John remarked. “May the gods help the Kingstons for they have decided to touch a sleeping dragon, awakening it from its slumber.”Meanwhile, back in the Kingston house, Elena was having fun when her father summoned her to his quarters.“Did you offend anyone you shouldn't have?” Robert asked calmly.It was clear he didn't wish to scold her, after all he doted on her greatly.He only wished to understand William's depth and if he was someone to worry about.If the answer turned out to be yes, then they could broker an agreement.If not, there was no reason to show him mercy for disrespecting the Kingston family name.Elena snorted. “Of course not, dad, I know who I can and cannot mess with.”“I see, did you get in trouble with anyone today?” Robert asked.“Well, there was

    “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

    “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
