2025-01-02 00:15:00Meanwhile, William was on his way to Red Angel Hospital in a luxury Bentley when he got the call from Bella.
His expression shifted ever so slightly but he chose to pick the call. “Celia…” “How dare you!” “What?” “You know even if I always saw you as a bum and a man lacking ambition, I still told myself that you were a good person, but to think that you would prove me wrong today of all days.” “Celia, I don't understand.” “Shut your mouth!... You are a disgusting man. Instead of accepting the divorce with dignity, you attacked Lucas and stole the engagement gift he bought for me.” William was left completely perplexed at the out of nowhere accusation. “What do you mean by I stole an engagement ring?” “Don't even try to deny it, the maids already told me everything. Look here, I'm only going to say this once. You'd best return that engagement gift else don't blame me for teaching you a lesson.” “Celia, what engagement gift?” William questioned in annoyance. At first, he wished to engage in civil conversation but with Celia being so aggressive, it was clear that there was no way he would be able to defend himself. For whatever reason, she believed whatever was told to her without taking into account the kind of man he was. “William, I'm only trying to help you here. The Vasquez family will surely not let you off if they learn that you assaulted Lucas and stole the engagement ring he was with. So do what is right and…” A beep sound echoed, announcing the end of the call. Celia was shocked as she realized that William had dropped the call on her. She was only trying to help him out yet he remained unrepentant. At least now she understood that she'd made the right choice in divorcing William; after all, his true nature was a vile man who was prone to violence and had no morals. Such a man was undeserving of her. Snorting derisively, she muttered. “Well then, don't blame me when trouble comes knocking at your doorstep.” After saying that, she rushed to join Lucas where he was. Meanwhile, William let out a bitter laugh after ending the call. To think that Celia was accusing him so readily without even hearing his side of the story. It had happened on multiple occasions, with one almost ending with him in jail all because Ava accused him of trying to assault her. Letting out a sigh, William realized that he'd endured enough. Now their relationship was over and hopefully, their paths would never cross again. *** Celia knocked on the bedroom door and walked in just in time to find Ava adjusting her clothes while Lucas was frowning deeply. “What did he say?” Lucas asked before Celia could ask what had happened in her absence. Celia shook her head. “He hung up on me.” “That disgusting bastard. I just knew he was like that. Celia, let's call the cops on him. He should be taught a lesson for attacking Lucas and robbing him.” “I think I'll do that.” Celia nodded in agreement. “There's no need to do that,” Lucas remarked, unwilling to escalate the issue considering it was all based on a lie. “But still…” “Don't worry, it's just one bracelet, I can get as many as I want. If he needs it so much, he can have it.” Lucas said, feigning magnanimity. Ava remarked. “Did you hear that, Celia?... Now you understand why Lucas is a better man than that bum, William.” “Are you sure?” Celia asked with Lucas nodding. “Of course, now enough about that, there are more important things to worry about like the gala happening this evening. According to what I heard, there's a valuable piece of land that's rumored to contain a gold mine.” “Are you serious?” Ava was instantly taken in at the mention of gold. “Yup and actually, my parents and I plan on purchasing the land and gifting it to you as a wedding gift. What do you think?” “Oh my goodness, this is amazing!” Ava exclaimed as she imagined the Rodriguez family owning a literal gold mine. Celia was also surprised as she remarked. “Is this a prank?” “Of course not. It's meant to be a surprise even, but I thought to share it since you're in such a bad mood because of that useless ex of yours.” “Thank you so much, Lucas.” “Why are you thanking me?” Lucas said. “We are about to be married, so what's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine.” “Indeed, indeed.” Ava supported his claim while nodding vigorously. At another location, William had just arrived at Red Angel Hospital when John, the person who served as his driver, asked. “Hey, boss, I know I shouldn't be imposing, but are you not going to take any action against the Rodriguez family?” “There's no need,” William said. “But those people are so ungrateful. Do they think that they are where they are now because of their strength?... Boss, just give the order and the Rodriguez family will be finished off within minutes.” “There's no need for that. Since Celia has decided to divorce me in search of greener pastures, that's her luck. I don't have the time to waste seeking revenge on such a materialistic woman.” “Hah, boss, I dare say you're too soft-hearted.”

“More like you're too rough. Do you think we are in a Mafia?... What's with the constant urge to be violent?” William said with John quickly responding in a defensive tone.“Bah, some people deserve it.” Letting out a slight chuckle, William got out of the car and made his way into the hospital. Though he was once a doctor at the hospital, he had long since left his post when he got married to Celia and was only here to meet an old friend.Meanwhile, John, who was walking beside him, drew the attention of several people in the hospital as they began to murmur among themselves. To think that one of the wealthiest men in the city was walking beside William like an ordinary bodyguard.“Who is that man?”“Doesn't he look a lot like the LifeGiver?” “He does but wasn't it said that the LifeGiver left the country?... There's no way he would return out of the blue.” Just as he turned a corner, William ran into an old work colleague who had always seen him as a rival though the feeling wa

Victoria had never liked boastful individuals, especially those who didn't hesitate to toot their own horn when they could, which was why even as she was devastated over her younger sister's current state, she didn't allow that to blind her to the fact that Vincent was a boastful individual.“Are you going to take responsibility if something happens to my sister!” Victoria questioned causing Vincent to reply.“Miss Smith, you can count on me. I am the best surgeon this hospital has to offer so don't you worry.”Victoria still seemed doubtful so Damian spoke up. “Young Miss, don't worry, my son is an expert in his craft. I dare say he is even greater than I am, so don't worry, your sister is in good hands.”Naturally, the doctors and nurses on the ground could only shake their heads as they expected Damian to pick his son even as he was known to commit blunders while operating on patients. There had even been an instant where Vincent had forgotten an item in a patient, only rememberin

“Such a successful doctor would decide to become a kept man?” Victoria couldn't quite fathom why William would do such a thing.She could only attribute to foolishness born out of love which caused her to feel pity for William.If he had been smart, he would have continued in his career which would ensure that his future remained bright.Unfortunately, there was no way he could get back the time he'd lost, and so Victoria felt he could only wallow in self-pity.“Send me a picture of him.” Victoria instinctively said.If she ever came across the fellow, she would try and see if he wished to have another go at being a doctor.“Doing so now,” Tanya said.A moment later, Victoria got the picture and she immediately froze as the person in the picture was quite familiar.Just then, the emergency room door burst open with two nurses rushing out in a panic.“Young Miss, there's a huge problem.”Victoria immediately put her phone away as she inquired. “What's wrong?”“It's your younger sister,

Ignoring the looks of everyone outside, William used his spiritual energy to scan Katie's body thoroughly.His intuition made him believe that what was afflicting Katie wasn't as simple as the others made it out to be.It didn't take long before he found what he was looking for, causing him to act without hesitation.He immediately picked up a scalpel and to the shock of everyone watching, made an incision on the young girl's wrist to draw blood.Then he placed a bowl underneath to collect it.“What is he doing?” Victoria asked in confusion.She expected William to begin some complicated surgery but all he had done was to make an incision.Damian was also quite confused as he replied. “I don't know.”“Haha, at least everyone can see now that the great and mighty LifeGiver isn't as smart as you think he is. Instead of him to start the operation, he is collecting blood. It's clear that he has no intention of saving the young girl and only wants to kill her faster.” Vincent said.Victori

Upon seeing that Katie's condition was getting better, everyone in the operating room was shocked, most especially Vincent who didn't want to believe that William could turn the situation around.Damian was also in disbelief as he muttered. “There's no way this is as a result of conventional medicine.”“What are you saying, sir?” Raymond asked with Damian replying.“I may not be the best doctor in the world, but I have seen several medical procedures, and I can tell you now that what William is doing is unprecedented!... If I were to guess, he is merging conventional medicine with an ancient form of healing.”“What rubbish?... Dad, don't tell me you believe that such voodoo practices work.” Vincent said at the side unwilling to admit what everyone else was thinking.If Damian's deduction was correct, then truly, William's actions were unprecedented.Very few in the medical world could claim to have successfully merged modern and alternative forms of medicine.Damian scolded. “Are you

However, they were also aware that he was deserving of the attention, after all, he had done something that no one else could have accomplished.William flashed a charming smile as he replied. “Always happy to help.”Then, he turned to leave only for Victoria to call out to him again.“Leaving just like that?”“Is there a reason for me to remain?” “Your reward, of course,” Victoria said, before adding. “I doubt such processes are free.”Just then, Damian and Vincent stepped forward. “Young Miss, you can pay the money into the hospital account. We'll disburse pay to each participant in the operation from there.”“I must look like a fool to you then.” Victoria coldly replied, catching the duo off guard.“Young Miss?”“The fact that I haven't reported you and your idiotic son to the police for attempted murder should already be considered a mercy, yet you want to bite off more than you can chew.”“It's nothing like that at all.” Damian tried to explain only for Victoria to raise her han

“I thought you no longer worked here,” Victoria remarked as she bridged the distance, standing at arm's length from William.William nodded. “That is indeed correct.”“So do I take it that you were stalking me?” Victoria teased with William replying.“Not at all. I came to see a patient before the whole debacle with your sister.”“Ah.” Victoria realized she had misread things causing her to ask. “A family member?”“Something like that,” William replied.The person in question was, in fact, an old lady who had taken him in after he'd left the mountain where the Old Sage resided to enter the big city.She had taken care of him like a family member and now that she was close to the end of her life, William decided to visit her.In truth, he could extend her lifespan but she didn't want that, instead desiring to pass away peacefully.“I see,” Victoria muttered, though still quite skeptical over his answer because she had done some more digging into his past only to turn up with nothing.A

“Ah, it seems I made a mistake, Miss Smith.” Scar said as he took a step forward.Victoria raised a brow. “What mistake?”“This invitation is not a request. You will be coming with me. But it is up to you if you will follow me the easy way or the hard way. Ultimately, the choice is yours.”“Are you trying to go against the Smith family?” Victoria questioned, attempting to use her family as a shield.Scar smirked as he replied. “I wouldn't dare.”“Then…”“But it doesn't change the fact that you will be coming with me. Now then, how would you like to come with us?... Free or bound?... Choose quickly, I have a short temper.”Victoria paused as she realized that whatever was happening was a conspiracy.The fact that Scar wasn't wary of her identity meant two things; the person backing him was either on par with her or was someone from her family.She was well aware that not everyone in her family was happy with her identity as heiress of the Smith family.Regardless, stopping her from mak

Phoenix Blade
The sword landed on the ground with a loud sound.The masked figure was shocked and immediately tried to snatch the sword back, but William had already beaten him to it and stepped on the thick, long sword.“Phoenix Blade?” William glanced at the sword under his feet with a look of bewilderment.He recognized it as one of the four treasures that his master had created.There was the Phoenix Blade, the Turtle Shield, the Dragon Fang, and the Tiger Armor.His master had created them and gifted them to four peerless masters across the world.To think that he would find one of such items in the hands of a petty goon.William was nothing short of disgusted.The attacker tried to take back the blade but William didn't even waste any more time on him, utilizing his aura to hold him down before landing a flying kick that sent the attacker flying a great distance and slamming into a tree.The attacker tried to stand up again only to spit up a mouthful of blood and collapse to the ground, never
An impressive expert?
Victoria naturally saw him too, and her heart tensed up immediately while her face turned pale.Having experienced two assassinations that almost cost her her life, Victoria had become extremely sensitive to strangely dressed people who suddenly appeared at untimely junctures. She immediately asked William, “Who… who is he? Is he here to assassinate me?”William narrowed his eyes slightly.This figure didn’t look tall, and his walking stance and aura seemed extremely oppressive.‘He must be an impressive expert!’ William immediately thought.At the same time, he had also confirmed a conjecture of his.Back when Paul suggested that they compete in car racing, William already felt that something was amiss and thought that Paul must have had something else planned.It seemed that the person who suddenly appeared should be the ‘surprise’ that Paul had specially prepared for him.In that case, the reason Paul proposed such a strange bet with Victoria and even asked her to call a friend ove

The friction between the tires and the road immediately resulted in an ear-piercing screech as the rear half of the car formed a semicircle arc.“Ah!” Victoria closed her eyes and screamed.If the seatbelt wasn’t wrapped tightly around her waist, she would have been flung out of the car by now.In the Ferrari behind, Seamus watched in shock as the Corvette formed such a large arc. “He must be out of his mind! That’s crazy!”William actually didn’t slow down at all at this nearly 90-degree sharp bend.Instead, he did a huge thrilling drift at top speed and rushed past it!It was a steep mountain road where a slight deviation could cause you to swerve off the road and fall down the cliff, which would be fatal!Even a professional racer like Seamus wouldn’t dare to use such a technique on such a dangerous track, yet William managed to pull it off!Moreover, his drift was perfect, and even from a professional viewpoint, Seamus couldn’t find any faults with it.Is William Belmont really no
Settling things with a race
“I don’t think that punk knows how to race, does he? In that case, why not just admit defeat and forget about it? After all, car racing is full of risks and requires a lot of technique. Ordinary people won’t make the cut!”“That’s right. If you don’t dare to compete, you’d better admit defeat sooner, lest you waste everyone’s time!”Everyone began clamoring.Of course, they were all Paul’s friends, so they were naturally speaking up for him.Victoria was so furious that she stomped her feet, but she couldn’t outargue Paul and the others alone.William patted her shoulder and said, “It’s okay. Since he wants to compete in car racing, let’s do it! Even if he wants to compete in flying a jet or driving a tank, I’m game!”“You’ve agreed to this yourself. Since you’ve said so, don’t go back on your word!” Paul agreed eagerly as soon as William finished speaking.William glanced at Paul. “Don’t worry. I, William Belmont, have always been a man of my word, unlike you. After this competition,
Not a fair competition
In fact, deaths during matches would even garner boisterous cheers and large prizes.King, the burly man in front of William, was a well-decorated underground boxer who had made impressive achievements.More than ten boxers had died from his punches.Yet this inviolable underground boxing champion was mocked by William for being a good-for-nothing who only looked the part.He was naturally furious.The punch he threw was extremely ferocious.It was sharp and full of aggression as it darted straight at William!But William remained standing in place without dodging or avoiding it at all.“Damn it. This braggart actually isn’t dodging or moving an inch. Is he scared silly?”“I bet he just can’t dodge in time! King is such a daunting boxer, and his punch is so sharp and fast. This fool probably hasn’t come back to his senses yet!”“Haha, I reckon this punk is going to get killed by King’s punch!”“Hmph, he deserves it! He only has himself to blame for being so arrogant. Not only did he h
Did I give you permission to leave?
Paul spread both his palms and said defiantly, “Victoria, how can you think of me like that? You were the one who called him to come here. How could I have been able to predict who you’d call? Besides, do you have proof that I arranged for these guys to be here?”Victoria was furious yet speechless.But William didn’t show any change in emotion and instead even found it ridiculous.‘No wonder I had a hunch that things weren’t that simple. Turns out Paul Hendricks was playing tricks and set this up with the sole purpose of dealing with me. But does he really think that just these men can defeat me?... Or is this just the first wave, and he’s prepared many other attacks?’But no matter how many more schemes Paul had carefully devised against him, William wasn’t afraid at all.A trace of fleeting pleasure appeared in Paul’s eyes, thrilled to see that Victoria was furious.He was clearly engaged to her, yet she vehemently refused to acknowledge their engagement and even behaved intimately
Paul Hendricks
Before William could ask her about the details of the situation, she hugged his arm tightly.There were many people around, and when they saw Victoria’s action, their eyes widened in shock.Some even whistled teasingly, seemingly trying to stir up trouble.“William Belmont!” Paul suddenly roared and glowered sullenly at Victoria, who was holding onto William’s arm.He was glaring daggers at William, seemingly trying to burn off William’s arm, which was now a complete eyesore to him, with his burning gaze!William raised his head to look at Paul, who was accompanied by none other than Harold O'Malley.After the last incident with Celia, Harold had completely lost his chance to bed her as she cut him off.Of course, instead of blaming himself, he blamed William instead and so, had been looking for a way to teach him a lesson.Just as William surveyed the surrounding situation, Paul had already walked up to him with a hostile expression and questioned through gritted teeth, “Do you two t

At this moment, Stanley inched close to Thomas and said eagerly, “Dad, you can’t let him off! Otherwise, those people will definitely hold us responsible. When the time comes, none of us will be able to escape!... I don’t believe that there’s really someone in this world who isn’t afraid of getting shot by guns! He must be lying and boasting just to scare us. Any one of us here can fire several bullets through his body! Even if we can’t kill on the spot, he will definitely sustain injuries. Even if he can fly, he won’t be able to escape our premises!... I don’t believe that he can really hurt you! There are so many bodyguards in front of you to protect you. No matter what, he can’t do anything to you!”Thomas quickly thought about his words and nodded lightly.But at this moment, John suddenly stomped his foot against the ground and began moving!“Shoot!” Thomas immediately yelled, his heart skipping a beat.But humans are not machines after all.From the moment they received Thomas’s
Men, get ready!
Slade, the powerful expert who worked for the Grays, died just like that!What killed him was a fatal dagger slash by the man in front of them!Moreover, all it took was a single move to kill Slade as soon as their bodies touched!How was this possible?!No one could believe it!If he could kill Slade with a single move, how powerful and terrifying must his abilities be?No one dared to imagine it because the mere thought of it was so frightening that it made them feel as though their hearts were about to fall out of their chests.John turned the dagger in his hand and shook off the last bit of blood remaining on it.Then he turned around to look at the Gray family, who were dumbstruck and rooted to the ground at the entrance of the villa.“Those who dare to provoke the boss will suffer a miserable fate!” After saying this coldly, he walked toward the entrance.But when he was a few meters away from the entrance, Thomas snapped back to his senses as though he had just woken up from a
