“What did you say? William Belmont?!” Stefan’s eyes suddenly widened, and he instantly stood up with a look of disbelief.

The middle-aged man didn’t dare to delay and quickly said, “According to the statements of Paul’s friends, William Belmont appeared on Twin Peaks Mountain, and he was called there by Victoria Smith. He had an intense conflict with Paul. There are more than twenty people who can testify!... Although there’s no direct evidence that he’s related to the car accident that happened to Paul, he’s very suspicious! That’s because Paul has a great feud with William Belmont, and he even hired a hitman to kill him. But he failed in the end, so William Belmont very likely bears a strong grudge against Paul. That’s why he killed him on his way back to the city!”

The Hendricks family had actually heard a little about the grudge between Paul and William because of Victoria.

But no one expected that the feud between the two would intensify to the point that Paul would hire a hitman

    Victoria was irked by his interrogative tone, and she retorted aggressively, “What does his death have to do with me? I only just found out about his death! Besides, I became an adult long ago, and it’s my freedom to be with anyone I want. You have no right to interfere with my life!”She had already guessed through her father’s words that many people must have suspected that William was the culprit behind Paul’s death.But she wasn’t sure if this matter had anything to do with him for now and thus obviously wouldn’t expose the fact that the young man was William.Sir Smith was infuriated. “You unfilial daughter, how dare you speak to me like that?! Wait for me in Avalon. Don’t go anywhere. I’ll rush there right now. When I arrive, you’ll come with me to see the Hendricks and explain everything clearly!”With that, he hung up lividly.Victoria put down the phone and began to feel ill at ease.Does Paul’s death really have something to do with William?If he’s really the culprit, the H

    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

    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

    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

    “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

    “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

    “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

    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

    rCecilia’s eyes lit up, and she seemed to be deep in thought. “There’s indeed such a possibility. But how are you so sure that this cauldron is a replica and not the real deal?”Cecilia’s gaze was clear.She wasn’t questioning William but genuinely asking him for guidance.Her attitude immediately took the countless people around them by surprise.Cecilia had behaved like an arrogant, domineering, and spoiled heiress when confronting Donald just now.But she was now facing William with an extremely calm attitude and didn’t lose her temper even when he doubted the authenticity of the antiques at the exhibition.Instead, she was discussing it composedly with him.It was indeed a little strange.William explained a little bit about the history and process of the cloisonné enamelware, which immediately made the entrepreneurs around them cluck their tongues in awe.Although some of them were antique collectors, most of them were focused only on the elegance of the antiques and had never d

    The hidden threat in Ava's words immediately enraged Cecilia.“Hmph, it’s just the Redmond family! He’s still just a scion now and not the helmsman yet. Even if the helmsman were right in front of me now, I’d tell him to get lost all the same! Don’t think you guys are that big of a deal. If you get on my nerves, I can easily destroy your family! Now, get lost!” Cecilia sounded extremely domineering and even seemed to have a touch of arrogance.Although she seemed to be only in her twenties and was much younger than everyone present, no one dared to question the truth of her words.After all, it would be a piece of cake for a giant like the Lancasters to annihilate the Redmonds!Finding Cecilia overly tyrannical and unreasonable, Ava bit her lower lip. “Miss Lancaster, how can you...”“Shut up!” Donald suddenly interrupted and rebuked before Ava could finish speaking.“Miss Lancaster, I’ll definitely make it up to you another day for offending you with my words today!” Donald maintaine

  • I, Cecilia Lancaster

    Donald was livid, and he roared with a menacing expression, “William Belmont, you’re deliberately provoking the Redmonds! I won’t let you off!”William sneered. “You’re making it sound as if you’d let me off even if I stand here without doing anything! You’ve been the one looking to create trouble right from the start!”“Fine, you’ve got some nerve! Let me tell you, just wait. The Redmonds will release their wrath on you!” Donald snapped furiously.“Hmph, it’s just the Redmond family. What’s the big deal?” William said nonchalantly without taking the Redmonds seriously at all.Donald should have been even angrier, but all of a sudden, his heart was full of an inexplicable panic.Generally, those who dared to disregard the Redmonds were either too dense and ignorant to get a clear idea of the situation or simply fearless.Given how William had angered Donald to the point of being speechless multiple times, he definitely wasn’t a fool...‘Could William Belmont really have something to f

  • Confrontation at an exhibition

    In the distance, Donald and Ava also seemed to be gloating.Seeing that William already dug his own grave and offended a Lancaster, they hurriedly came over to see what was going on.William glanced at the livid young woman in front of him and said indifferently, “Why is it impossible for replicas to appear at the Lancasters’ antique exhibition?”The young woman retorted coldly, “The Lancasters have always been known for never selling or exhibiting any replicas. There’s no way we would pass off replicas as genuine at the exhibition today just to make up the numbers! I will regard your words as an insult to the Lancaster family! You have just smeared and tarnished the reputation of our family, so you must apologize to us!”If someone else were in William’s shoes, they would very likely bow down and apologize immediately after hearing that they were speaking to a Lancaster.No one was willing to offend the Lancasters and get into a conflict with them.But her identity meant nothing to W

  • The Dragon Fang

    After he'd gotten Victoria's order, William stepped out of Sun King and made his way to his car only to get a call from John.“Talk to me.”“I've found what you were looking for… At least, I've found one of them.” “Oh?... Which one?”“The Dragon Fang.” John replied. “According to my sources, it might make an appearance during an exhibition held by the Lancaster family.”“When is the exhibition?”“Tonight.”“No problem, I'll be there.”“Should I make any preparations?” John inquired.“Not right now. Just keep looking for the other two treasures.”“Understood, Big bro.”With that, the call ended and William let out a worried sigh.When his master had created the four treasures and sent them out, he had hoped they would be used for good deeds.But seeing as how the Phoenix Blade was held by a petty assassin, he was worried that the other three would also be in the hands of evildoers and if that was the case, then he definitely had to make sure he recovered them.Apart from that, he stil

    With a twisted and menacing expression, Killmonger started ogling at Daly even more unscrupulously.If not for the fact that this was a public place, he would have gotten intimate with Daly on the spot!“To hell with that!” William roared furiously with murderous intent in his eyes, no longer able to stand Daly being humiliated by this scumbag.“Damn it. Punk, do you dare to fight?”“Killmonger, just let us go cripple this punk and teach him how to speak to you!”“We’ll beat the shit out of him! This punk doesn’t know where he stands at all! Let us break his bones!”The burly men under Killmonger all began to yell arrogantly.Killmonger was just as furious.He swung his hand forward and shouted, “Go! Break his limbs and make him get on his knees to beg me!”“Yes, Killmonger!” The muscular men chorused in unison, clenched their fists impatiently, and rushed at William.Daly’s face immediately turned pale.She knew that these people were all Killmonger’s capable subordinates, and they w

  • Are you an idiot?

    As William and Killmonger continued to exchange words, The onlookers began whispering to each other.“Damn it. I thought he was a smart guy, but I didn’t expect him to be stupid enough to mock Killmonger right in his face! He’s really brazen!”“Killmonger has the grounds to say such arrogant things! He’s backed by the Valentins, and Killmonger and his underlings all have extraordinary combat skills. You can tell from their strong muscles! But what exactly does this young man have? He has nothing, and yet he dares to be so arrogant in front of Killmonger. I bet he has no idea what he has to face!”“Too bad! I was just thinking that if he pleaded with Killmonger and begged for mercy, Killmonger just might let him off. But nothing good will come out of offending Killmonger!”In the eyes of the people familiar with the hierarchy of notable families in Avalon, Killmonger was not to be trifled with.No one thought that William, who spoke arrogantly in front of Killmonger, would still be abl

    The food was absolutely revolting, and after some of this food mixture was forced into his mouth, the manager couldn’t help but throw up.“You’re the one who concocted this upscale dish, and you also said yourself that it’s a blessing to be able to eat such a meal. So, gobble it all up!” William said coldly.The manager was practically on the verge of collapsing.He had planned to humiliate William, but it backfired, and he ended up having a taste of his own medicine.It simply felt horrible!“You… Don’t act like a madman! Killmonger! Killmonger, help!” The manager suddenly yelled for help.When Daly heard this name, she shuddered and immediately said to William, “Oh no! Sir, leave quickly! Now! Leave right now!”But it was already too late.As soon as she finished speaking, several burly men with their arms exposed walked out of the staff aisle not far away and surrounded William aggressively.“Punk, you’re trying to leave after beating someone up? Have you asked for our permission?”

  • Sharing a blessing

    William smiled faintly.But before William could respond to Daly, Tatiana’s face turned sullen, and the chubby lobby manager immediately stopped in front of William. “Hah, are you trying to leave just like that after offending Miss Tatiana? You’re being overly idealistic! If you two don’t finish the food on the floor, neither of you will leave!”Daly looked at the fierce and hostile lobby manager and pleaded, “Sir, this matter really has nothing to do with my friend. I’ll eat the scraps. Please just let him leave!”Her beautiful face was still stained with undried tears, and despite wearing a waitress uniform, she was still as beautiful as ever.Many people in the hall couldn’t help but be amazed by her beauty and take pity on her.They could also tell that Tatiana abhorred Daly because of the latter’s stunning looks and thus decided to humiliate her in public.But everyone knew that Tatiana was from a prestigious and formidable family, so no one was willing to stand up for a waitress
