“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

    “Watch out!” Victoria exclaimed only for an agonized scream to be heard the next moment.She froze in her tracks, her eyes widening in disbelief as she realized that the person who screamed wasn't William but was instead the thug with the steel pipe.Clutching his stomach while staggering backward, the thug stared at William with a shocked expression on his face before he fell to the ground, never to move again.Meanwhile, his weapon, the steel pipe, was now in William's hand.Scar and his men, who were laughing, immediately went silent as their gaze alternated between their fallen comrade and William, who remained standing.“Anyone else?” William inquired in a provocative tone.Scar glared at him as he gave the order. “Take that bastard down!”His subordinates immediately rushed William, intending to make him pay for whatever he'd done to one of their own but unfortunately, they overestimated their capabilities.They didn't even get the chance to land a single successful hit as Willi

    Celia glanced towards the person to find that it was Victoria Smith causing her to wonder who Victoria was referring to as her benefactor.There's no way it was William, right?Meanwhile, Victoria quickly arrived next to William and placed an arm around his own, catching everyone off guard, including William.Before now, when Victoria had learned that William was being confronted by his ex-wife, she thought about not getting involved, after all, it could be considered a family matter.But then, recalling how he had saved her daughter when it wasn't his place to do so and how he had saved her from Scar when it also wasn't his place to do so, caused her to feel indebted to him.Hence the reason she decided to support William and to drive the point home that fighting with William was the same as fighting with her, she decided to link arms with him, giving off the impression that he was her date for the night. Naturally, this drew the attention of the guests in attendance as well as the

    “Blinded by ambition?” Celia snorted. “Perhaps you are the one that lacks it. Else, what sane man would decide to be a kept man while his wife dominates the world?”William offered no response, not because he didn't have one but because he saw no need to give one.He was a man who had achieved everything and only wished to rest.He had used what he had to place Celia in her current position yet she ignored that, thinking that she was dominating the entertainment industry due to her hard work.Celia sneered thinking that she had struck a nerve in William. “Cat caught your tongue?” “I do hope that you do not fall now that you have gotten so high. It would be a shame.” William calmly replied causing Celia to retort.“You don't have to worry about that because that's never going to happen.”“You sound so sure.” “Because I am,” Celia said before shifting her attention to Victoria. “So you can enjoy your boy toy until you get tired of him, which you will, mind you, after which, just like

    “Of course!” James exclaimed arrogantly before turning to Victoria. “How about you accompany me for the rest of the night, young miss?... I believe we have more in common than you can imagine.”Not missing the insult he snuck into his words, William remarked. “I have been courteous to you so far, Mr. Wilson; I ask that you do the same.”“Unfortunately, I can't. You see, unlike every other person in this room, I am a man of substance who has served as the stock advisor of several companies for years. I could get you kicked out of here if I wanted with a simple snap of my hands so you'd best keep shut.”By now, their exchange had already drawn the attention of guests as they watched the showdown, enthralled by the drama unfolding.Victoria seemed amused as she inquired. “Do you know who William is?”“I do but I have no idea why he is regarded as such a big deal. A doctor is still a doctor, no matter how good he is. How much could he possibly have?”Victoria ignored him as she turned to

    “There's no way that good for nothing has 1.5 million saved up, right?” Ava asked as she stared at William.He had just made a bid, catching her as well as Lucas off guard as they thought of him as a poor man who needed Celia to survive.Celia however, remarked. “Well, he was once a well-known medical practitioner, so it's no surprise that he has a bit of money saved up.”“That's true.” Lucas nodded in agreement. “Which means he is most likely utilizing everything he has.”“How foolish. Instead of him to save himself, he is thinking about saving children.” Ava said in a mocking tone. “I'm sure he is only trying to do this to entice Miss Smith.”Celia snorted. “Heh, if that's his plan, then he is beyond foolish.”“I agree. The Smith family is a wealthy family capable of buying whatever they want whenever they want. Does he think that a meager 1.5 can make an impression on the heiress of such a reputable family?” As the trio continued to gossip about William, the auctioneer replied to

    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.

    “Dad, no one wants to kill that bastard more than I do. I want to avenge Lucas, but I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to kill him,” Stanley said with great difficulty through clenched teeth.“What do you mean by that?” Thomas frowned. “Is there something about his identity that makes it impossible for us to do anything to him?”“No, that’s not the case.” Stanley shook his head and pulled out a cell phone from his pocket.Then he instructed someone to cast the video he had saved on the phone onto the TV screen in the middle of the hall.Soon, a somewhat blurry video played on the large screen.Based on the angle, it seemed to be surveillance camera footage.It revealed William defeating the guards in GrayStone, cutting through them like a hot knife through butter.Frightening was the best word that could be used to describe the gory footage.This William was truly a dangerous man!The footage continued playing. William said several sentences, and Thomas immediately frowned when he heard

  • Who did this to my son!?

    “Watch out!” Zara shouted the moment she saw the guns causing William to turn around and whip his head up to the second floor. The next moment, a flurry of bullets flew towards him, but with a release of his spiritual pressure, he managed to deflect all the bullets, causing everyone's mouths to hang wide open, having witnessed such a sight that was nothing short of miraculous.Zara gasped as well as she took a few steps back, realizing at that moment that she had underestimated her husband's potent capabilities. “Who the hell is this monster?... How did he manage to deflect bullets?” Lucas questioned loudly as his eyes were wide open, stunned by the scenes he just witnessed and it was the same for all the bouncers.It was because of these gunshots that William turned over to look at Lucas. When Lucas's secretary realized that thing had gone away, she said. “You need to go. He has noticed!”Lucas was shocked and was about to make his escape.Alas, he was too late. William leaped al

    The main lobby of the nightclub was in chaos, with everyone running for their lives.As each bouncer screamed and fell over, William was further drenched in bright red blood. Zara's mind had gone completely blank.She covered her mouth as she watched William relentlessly kill his enemies like a ferocious beast.Within mere minutes, more than fifty bouncers were lying in a pool of blood.The other bouncers were stunned when they saw this and did not dare to step forward.In fact, they were taking very careful steps backward.“He's a madman!”“Quick!... Go and inform the boss!”Drenched in blood, William released his clenched fists and took a step forward.All of the bouncers around him hastily retreated, none of them daring to make any moves that might cost their lives. William continued to walk forward and with every step he made, the bouncers trembled even more as they realized that the man before them was no man at all but a beast in human flesh!Lucas was playing chess in the Imp

  • The show is about to begin

    Zara was so terrified that she began to shake.Fortunately, William caught the man's arm before the baton landed.With a twist, followed by a crack, the bouncer was now screaming in agony due to his broken wrist.William turned his hand and caught the baton, then he kicked the man in front of him and sent him flying backward.Meanwhile, the other bouncers had arrived where William stood and they charged at him.However, all of them were sent sprawling to the ground with their faces severely bruised within seconds.All of this happened so quickly that Zara could only cover her mouth as William easily beat them up.After all of this was done, William took Zara's arm and led the way into GrayStone.“It might get a little gory later, dead. I'm worried you may not be able to handle the sight. Still, you should get used to this since you are my wife. Whatever happens next, all you have to do is shut your eyes and leave it all to me.”Zara was so shaken by William's words that she could not

    “What about you?” Zara asked.“I have some scores to settle.” William resolutely replied.“Let me come with you.” Zara insisted. “Please.”Letting out a sigh, William nodded. “Fine then.”Then, he took out his phone and called John to find Lucas's current location.It didn't take long for the information to get back to him.Due to his close relationship with one of his uncles who owned a casino named Graystone, Lucas usually frequented it, and currently, that was where William would find him. With that understanding, William left with Zara. After half an hour, William and Zara arrived at GrayStone which John had mentioned.Lights of every color shined in this part of Avalon, signaling the start of the resident's nightlife. This place was known to be the headquarters of Avalon Gambling.The nightclub was built beneath the ground and it was a huge place where both men and women would spend their time.Many women had gained a life of riches being here, while some had lost the most pre

    Maverick pulled out an apple, seemingly from nowhere, and began eating it.While munching, he asked Malcolm with a muffled voice while staring at the soldiers, “Should we go after the girl?”Malcolm was just about to respond only to be stunned as he immediately shouted, “Maverick, behind you!”‘What?”Maverick asked, still chewing his apple, his words indistinct.But in the next moment, his face turned pale!For behind him, he could feel an overwhelming killing intent!Maverick didn’t dare be careless; he rolled forward instinctively, protecting his head!Alas, he was a bit too slow as he felt something strike his head.With the sound of impact, Maverick let out a muffled groan, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.“You’re not dead?”Seeing William suddenly appear behind him, Maverick was shocked!This bastard didn’t die, and had even managed to sneak up behind him unnoticed? “Maverick, you let your guard down!”Malcolm frowned deeply, obviously feeling that things weren’t that

    William was unable to get the car under control before it rushed into a large forest was what awaited him.The car tumbled as it fell into the forest, William and Zara holding on for dear life while the latter screamed at the top of her lungs.Once it had finally stopped, William immediately got out of the car as he noticed that the car was about to blow.After he'd got out, he helped Zara out and then took the valuables in the car before fleeing deeper into the woods to avoid detection by those who were chasing them.A moment later, his car exploded.William's pursuers stopped at the place he'd tumbled from with one in particular taking out a phone to make a call."Yes boss, we have them cornered.""Good, make sure to get the artifacts undamaged and kill that bastard!""On it, boss." Maverick nodded as he ended the call before gesturing to his best tracker to follow him.It didn't take long before the tracker found William waiting next to a stream with Zara nowhere in sight.William

    Rolling his eyes, William replied. "Am I the only one that didn't fall for that man's bullshit?""What are you talking about?" Zara raised a brow in confusion.William sighed. "Don't you consider the reason why only big families have the guts to invest in the Golden Dragon?""Why?""It's because they won't dare to screw them over, no matter what. I'm guessing families like yours, would want them to not just give out investing rights to anyone, ensuring that only the elite would do so.""Yeah…""So what happens when a young man with seemingly no backer and no family, comes in with a shit ton of cash?""That…""Yes, they want to rip me off and leave me out to dry after sucking everything I own. It's crazy that you'd expect me to accept such a disgusting offer." William remarked, slightly peeved at Zara.Zara visibly recoiled as she replied. "I apologize, I didn't think it was like that.""Hah, it's fine," William muttered as he let out a breath.After making their exit, William tried to

  • Putting a hit out

    Meanwhile, in VIP room 1, Lucas was seething as he watched someone top his bid.He was a member of the Gray family, owners of Gray Inc., a company that had its hands in several lucrative businesses.However, that wasn't what stood out the most about them.Instead, they were similar to the Khan family in that their current success was directly tied to their relationship with the supernatural. Unlike the Khans, who were healers, the Gray family were Combatants, with most members of the family either becoming military men or martial arts masters.As a member of such a prestigious family, Lucas was naturally arrogant and was not one who appreciated people competing with him. He initially came for a different artifact and so hoped to get the Martial Technique as a plus but now, he either had to choose between the technique or his initial target.It annoyed him but he had to take a step back, but that didn't mean he was going to let the culprit that stole the technique go scot-free."Call
