2025-01-02 00:13:26William offered no response, instead glancing at the item in the gift box before letting out a tired sigh.
“What?... Don't you agree?” Lucas said only to pause as he laid eyes on the ring in William's hand. As a cultivator, he'd long since created his core, which allowed him to detect faint spiritual energy, and currently, the spiritual energy the jewelry was giving off was enough to help him create a second core. Lucas didn't hesitate to try and grab it as he could immediately tell that it was a great treasure. “That's a nice bracelet.” He said. “Maybe I should take it, it would be a nice gift for Celia. In truth, it's wasted on the likes of you.” Just as he tried to take it, William grabbed his wrist. “Don't go too far.” At this point, the workers in the house had begun to gather after hearing Lucas' voice. “I don't know where you got that bracelet from but you are not leaving here with it. So unless you want to get beat up, you'd best hand it over.” Lucas warned. William ignored his words and shoved his hand aside before attempting to leave again. However, Lucas wasn't about to let that happen as he tried to take the bracelet again, this time utilizing his strength as a cultivator so that William wouldn't be able to stop him. William dodged the attack and, without hesitation, slapped Lucas so hard that he was sent flying with his front teeth falling out. Everyone watching was left shocked at William's ferocity. “Ah, you bastard, you dared to hit me!... I'll kill you, I swear I'll kill you!” Lucas cried out even though he was missing a few teeth and his cheek had swollen while being as red as a tomato. To think he would dare to still throw out threats while looking so pathetic. A desire to hurt him some more welled up within William, but ultimately, he decided against it. There was no reason to waste any more time on the bastard. One way or another, he'd surely get what he deserved. And so, snorting derisively, William pocketed the wedding ring along with the bracelet and left without looking back, leaving Lucas to continue hurling curses at his retreating. Just then, Celia and Ava came downstairs after hearing the commotion only to see Lucas in a sorry state. “Oh my gosh, Lucas!” Ava exclaimed as she rushed over to help him. “Who did this to you?” “It's that bastard, William,” Lucas said. “We came across each other, and even though I just wanted to let him know that I meant no ill will after learning that Celia was divorcing him, he instead made it look like I was at fault and attacked me, saying that I would never have Celia as long as he was alive.” Naturally, he was smart enough to twist the story to make it that William was the bad guy instead of him. That way, Celia would surely despise William for being such a hothead. Meanwhile, Celia struggled to believe that William would be so aggressive. He had never gotten into any fights while they were married and was generally cool-headed, so what happened? Or was she wrong about the divorce not affecting William as she expected? Maybe he was furious but had hidden it well only to end up pouring his anger out on Lucas. That made sense. Thinking that Celia didn't believe him, Lucas decided to add more fuel to the fire. “He even stole from me, taking the present I planned to gift to you.” “What?” Ava could hardly believe her ears. “William robbed you?” “Of course!” Lucas exclaimed. “It was a rare bracelet worth almost ten million dollars. I can't believe he would take it from me out of spite. I tried to stop him but he didn't listen.” “Oh my goodness, Celia, that William is a brute, how can he do something so disgusting?... We have to get that bracelet back or else who knows what he might do?... I'm sure he took it because he plans to sell it so he can win his way up the ladder to be in our class.” “That's exactly what he said.” Lucas quickly agreed with Ava's statement. “You see?... Celia, we have to get that ring back.” “But William is not that kind of person.” Celia still found it hard to believe that apart from attacking Lucas, William had robbed him as well. It just didn't fit into the image she had of William. “Are you saying I'm lying?” Lucas questioned, acting as though he'd taken offense. “Fine then, you can ask the maids, they saw everything.” As he spoke, he didn't hesitate to send a knowing look in the direction of the maids. Considering he had slept with most of them, they didn't hesitate to jump to his rescue. “Yes young Miss, Mister Lucas is telling the truth. That man William is not good at all.” Hearing the maid further helped Lucas to convince Celia that William was at fault. This caused her demeanor to change because she didn't expect that William would do something so despicable. “Celia, take Lucas upstairs so he can be attended to.” “Alright then, but Celia, you have to make sure that bastard pays for this.” “Don't worry, I know what to do.” Saying that Celia took out her cell in anger and dialed William’s number.

Meanwhile, 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 engag

“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

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

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
A jaw dropping scene
But at this time, the old fogy Thomas was still babbling incessantly with the sole purpose of letting him know that the person in front of him wasn’t related to the Gray family.It was completely unnecessary because if the Gray family had such an incredible expert, they wouldn’t have had to ask him for help.The person standing at the entrance of the villa was naturally John.Staring at Slade standing in the villa, John moved his fingers, and a sharp dagger spun between them in a fancy manner, looking just like an exquisite flower of light blooming in his hand.He asked coldly, “Are you Walter?”Slade frowned. “Are you here for me? Who are you?”“You don’t need to know who I am. You just need to know that you’re the person I’m looking for!” While speaking, John walked toward the villa.The Gray family members stood outside the villa, not daring to get too close, though they heard the conversation between Slade and John.“It seems this person should be Slade’s enemy. He barged into our
Breaking in
Seeing that his sons had made up with each other, Thomas smiled again and ignored the tacit exchange through the ambiguous gazes in their eyes when they made eye contact.“Who’s there?!”Suddenly, an unusual clamor came from outside the villa entrance.Immediately afterward, the loud and clear sounds of things falling came.Their faces covered in shock and suspicion, the Grays in the hall immediately stood up one after another.Thomas immediately stood up and bellowed at the door, “What’s happening outside?”Soon, a security guard walked over and said with a panicked expression, “Bad news! Mr. Gray, a man suddenly barged in and headed straight to Slade’s villa. He even kicked the door of the villa open! We couldn’t stop him!”“What?!” Thomas’s expression drastically changed while the other Grays were astounded, too.Slade was an elite expert the military had sent, and ordinary people couldn’t get close to him.Besides, he was now a distinguished guest of the Gray' and was in a foul mo
