In truth, Victoria was also surprised that William would place such a bid as she didn't expect him to have that amount of money but it seemed she was wrong.

In truth, William had no idea the exact amount he had in his savings account, but he knew one thing, and that was that he was wealthier than everyone else in the auction hall!

All because he never really needed money, he never bothered to check his balance but at the very least, his account had ten billion dollars in it!

“And if he doesn't?... Have you forgotten that I am here?” Victoria shot back, catching Ava off guard.

She was surprised as she glanced at Celia, expecting some form of support.

The next instant, Celia loudly said, drawing attention to herself. “80.”

Finally, William turned in her direction but instead of annoyance, his eyes seemed to hold a trace of mockery in them toward her.

“100.” William calmly remarked before adding. “Tread lightly, Miss Rodriguez, you might end up falling into serious debt if you continue.

    It didn't take long for Mr. Kingsley to arrive only to pause as he immediately sensed the tense atmosphere.Unsure of the reason behind this, he approached Celia. “Miss Celia, I had no idea you were here as well. In truth, I had begun to wonder why William was alone. It's good to know that you both are still together.”Before Celia or anyone else could respond, Ava remarked. “Do you live under a rock?... Don't you know that my sister has divorced that good for nothing?”Mr. Kingsley froze as he didn't realize that such a thing had happened.The news was indeed all of social media but he did not frequent social media as he was more of a retro individual.Hence the reason he was unaware of such a development.“I… had no idea.” He said as he glanced back at William who nodded in response.“Ava, that's no way to speak to Mr. Kingsley.” Celia lightly said with Ava snorting in response.“Well, he should learn to get his facts straight instead of perpetuating lies.”“That's enough.” William

    “Didn't you just hear that she's not interested?... Stop bothering us and get lost.” Ava said.“And if I don't want to?” Jared inquired.“Then don't blame me for making you regret it,” Lucas said as he shoved him back.How could he stand back and do nothing while some bastard was making a move on his girl?Seeing an opportunity to make a good impression on Celia after the unfortunate debacle at the auction, Lucas didn't hesitate to take it.‘You will be my path back into Celia's heart.’ Lucas thought as he came to stand between Celia and Jared.Jared chuckled, clearly amused by Lucas' bravado.“What's so funny, fucker?” Lucas asked, already preparing to utilize his power as a cultivator to land a devastating blow to defeat Jared.Jared replied with a smirk. “Isn’t it amusing watching a rat bear its fangs to a lion?”“Who are you calling a rat?” Lucas glared at Jared.“You, of course,” Jared said. “Bastard, you are asking for it!” Lucas bellowed as he threw a punch only for Jared to c

    “Are you out of your mind!?” Celia erupted without thinking, clearly incensed by Lucas' thoughtless act.“What did I do?” Lucas shot back. “If you love me, you should be willing to do anything for my safety or are you just going to sit back and watch me get beaten up?... I was standing up for you, right?... So fucking stand up for me!”Celia didn't even know how to respond because, in some convoluted way, Lucas wasn't in the wrong, which left her unsure of how to react.Jared burst into a mocking laughter as he kicked Lucas aside after which he began to head in Celia and Ava's direction with a sinister grin on his lips.“What are you doing?... Don't come any closer?” Ava said in a panic while trying to back away.“Why shouldn't I?... Your protector over there has already given you both up so what else is stopping me from coming closer?”“What are you even saying?... Don't you have any morals?” Jared scoffed. “Only fools have morals. People like me, well, we can do whatever we want, w

    Everyone was stunned, save for a few who were aware of William's incredible skill.No one could have fathomed that he was so skilled, after all, this was beyond the realm of a normal martial artist.Even Lucas, who expected William to be beaten up for making the mistake of refusing Jared's offer, was unable to believe his eyes as he wondered how William could be so capable.Even more stunned than him was the sister duo, Celia and Ava, both of whom were still struggling to come to terms with what they'd seen. Meanwhile, for the first time since his arrival, Jared's calm facade was broken as he stared at his defeated subordinates.Only when William turned his attention to him did he take a step back in fright.“Just… who are you?”“My identity is of no consequence to you,” William replied as he took steady steps forward.“Stay away.”“Why though?” William asked, using the same tone Jared had utilized when speaking with Celia.Jared clenched his jaw at the subtle jab as he bellowed. “Be

    “You all should leave now,” William remarked, breaking the awkward silence that had settled in the parking lot.“But…”“It's fine. I'll take responsibility for my actions. None of you have to wait with me.”The guests, though supportive of William's actions, understood that he was just trying to help them.Unlike him, they weren't capable of defending themselves and due to the nature of the event, none of them had come with guards, which meant that they were defenseless if the situation turned dangerous.“Alright then.”With that, they all began to take their leave.However, not all of them left.Victoria remained, as well as Mr. Kingsley, and surprisingly, Celia remained as well.“Celia, what are you doing?” Ava couldn't understand why she was being stubborn.“I'm not going. You guys can leave, don't worry, I'll be fine.”“Celia, don't be stubborn,” Lucas remarked. “There's no reason to risk our lives when we can just leave.”“Instead of talking so much, how about you make yourself u

  • The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates   Playing a dangerous game

    William had just put the last of the kids to bed when he felt something causing his expression to shift.The enemy was close, and judging from the pull he felt, there was no doubt that there was a powerhouse.Of course, this didn't change the fact that William wasn't about to let them go scot-free.He walked into another room where he'd kept Jared tied up only to find Victoria seated across from Jared.“You are still here?” William asked in slight exasperation.“You never asked me to leave,” Victoria replied causing William to raise a brow.“... Well, you did but I don't plan to do so.”“Hah, what about Tanya?”“She left.”“She should have taken you along.”“Hey, don't be mean!”William rolled his eyes but decided not to pay any more attention to her.Only then did he notice that Celia, Ava, and Lucas were still around as well.William exchanged looks with Celia and for a moment, Celia wished that he would express worry for her just like he'd done for Victoria.But unfortunately, that

    But that wasn't all, as Celia as well as Ava were also in danger, with three of Lex's subordinates charging at them with the intent to kill.Thinking that William was caught up trying to protect Victoria, they didn't think they had any reason to worry and so, took their leisure time with Celia and Ava.“Stay away!” Celia cried out in a panic.Just as one of them raised their hand to hit her, she turned to protect Ava who was also terrified.However, the pain she was expecting never arrived and instead, merely a gust of wind rushed past them.“I thought I told you to leave.” A voice suddenly spoke up in that moment, drawing the attention of the two ladies.Celia and Ava looked back to find that it was William who had spoken and he was currently the only thing standing between them and death.“You…” Celia trailed off as she found herself unable to say anything else.“Get out of here!” William bellowed.“But…”“I said leave!” “You are a brute!” Ava exclaimed only for Celia to grab her,

    William got back into the welfare center only to discover Victoria, Celia, and Ava seated along with Mr. Kingsley.It seemed to calm them, he had decided to brew them some tea judging from the pleasant smell wafting through the air.The moment they discovered William, the three ladies got to their feet instantly.“William!” Victoria and Celia reacted almost at the same time but just as Celia felt like taking a step forward, Victoria crossed the distance and embraced William, catching everyone off guard.“I was really scared.” She breathed out as she held him tightly causing Celia to glare at her.William felt warm inside since it had been a while since someone showed such worry for him.“I'm okay, you don't have to worry.” He said as he patted her back.“Is the fighting over, Will?” Mr. Kingsley asked.He was perhaps the only one who never had any doubts that William would resolve the matter; after all, he was well aware of just what William was capable of.William nodded. “It is and

    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

  • Submit... or die

    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

    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

    Aston tried to fight back but William overpowered him quickly before going ahead to pummel the fool till he was satisfied.He struck with reckless abandon while Aston first threatened them and began to beg for mercy.Several were stunned by the scene, watching as the great young master of the Lincoln family was reduced to a pulp.William didn't kill Aston, perhaps out of respect for Mr. Lincoln and because he didn't exactly enjoy killing.He got to his feet, taking one last look at Aston's face, which was now a bleeding mess, before turning away and walking back to Victoria, who was waiting with a warm smile.“That was brutal but oddly satisfying to watch.” She remarked sweetly as she took him to a seat and helped him clean his bloody fists before assisting him in putting his clothes back on.At this point, very few dared to keep partying as they began to realize that they had underestimated the man before them.He was quite a terrifying foe!It wasn't until an hour later that the par

    William remained calm as he took Victoria's hand and prepared to move away, however, Aston was unwilling to let the matter slide as he stood in his way.“You dare leave after insulting my image before these many people?”“You insulted yourself, don't make things harder than they are supposed to be.”“Do you think yourself worthy of such a price?... Don't flatter yourself, Mr. Belmont, you shouldn't even be here if not for the foolishness of a few.”William ignored his words and once again tried to leave; unfortunately, Aston remained the ever-stubborn party.“Will you not move?” William inquired.Aston snorted as he spat coldly. “I challenge you to combat. Do you dare accept?”William remained silent, merely holding Aston's gaze as he contemplated the best way to teach the imbecile a lesson.Just then, Mr. Lincoln, the head of the Lincoln family, stepped forward.“Aston, back down.” He remarked, to the surprise of many present. As a proud family leader, one would think he would even

    Zara stood on the second floor, overlooking the party hall below, in full view of those below but none dared to approach her.Or so far at least.***William arrived in the Corvette with Victoria.The duo stepped out, revealing Victoria to be wearing a fiery red dress while William wore a pale blue suit.Just as they were about to reach the entrance, William instinctively raised his head only to notice Zara standing on a balcony.She looked down at the same time and for a brief moment, their eyes met.Once she was out of sight, William recovered long enough to hear Victoria. “The invitation.”Shaking his head, he took out the card Zayn had given him after their discussion earlier in the day letter and handed it over to the guards at the hall entrance.“You may go in.” The doors opened and a whole new world was displayed on the other end.“Amazing.” Victoria mouthed as she took in the sight.“It's even more splendid than when I first came in,” William confessed.Many were in attendan

    The arrogant woman behind Stefan quickly added. “Make it two!” “Of course. Two weeks.” “And if I turn out to be correct?” “I'll apologize.” “Nah, let's make it more interesting. If I turn out to be correct, you'll not only have to compensate me for the time wasted and the unnecessary insults with a free dress, and yes, the dress has to be your most expensive.” Stefan could barely contain his surprise at William's audacity. “Also, you'll have to make a public apology using the announcement speakers.” “You…” “I have no reason to accept your ridiculous challenge, Mr. Stefan. I only made an observation so if you wish so badly to prove that I'm wrong. You'll have to agree.” Stefan gritted his teeth as he pondered on his next response. What if William was telling the truth?... Doing what he asked would be incredibly humiliating. But he was familiar with Mrs. Grimshaw and knew that the family she was married into was an old money family with vast connections. If he wished to ge

  • A ridiculous challenge

    Taken aback by Victoria's words, the worker had no choice but to take a step back though she still looked at Victoria with a bit of contempt.“Better.” Then, Victoria walked in with William following closely behind.As the duo moved to shop, the worker rushed to inform her boss of two potential delinquents in the store.Meanwhile, William and Victoria engrossed themselves in shopping only for two middle-aged women to pause a few meters away.“What are those two paupers doing in a place like this?”“I have no idea. They look absolutely classless, I feel like I shouldn't even be looking at them.”“Then don't,” William remarked, barely able to keep pretending that he couldn't hear them.The larger of the two women snorted. “People without class like you shouldn't be in such a place. You won't even be able to afford a piece of underwear talk more of a full set of clothes.”“You are quick to judge aren't you?”“I am merely stating the obvious.” The woman insisted. “I mean, if you had class

    Victoria went wide-eyed in an instant. “You somehow managed to get involved with the Khan family?... You are just full of surprises.”William didn't even know how to start explaining himself so he just ended up deciding to stay silent.Victoria chuckled. “Well then, I'm guessing you don't have a date.”“Unfortunately, I don't,” William admitted with Victoria quickly following up.“So why don't I be your date?”“You must be busy, right?”“Not at all. It's an opportunity for me to establish a relationship with the Khan family. In truth, I have been planning on doing that ever since I was made heiress of the Smith Consortium.”“You just made that up.” William accused with Victoria feigning taking offense.“How could you?”Shaking his head, William remarked. “Fine then.”“Yay.” Victoria clapped her hands. “Before we head there, we definitely have to go shopping.”“I've got some nice clothes though…” William said only for Victoria to place a finger on his lips.“You can never have too many
