At this moment, all the onlookers were chagrined and full of regret.

If they had known earlier that the old man was so wealthy that he would casually give a reward of three million dollars, they would have rushed to save him just now.

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

Regardless of how much they regretted their passiveness, there was nothing they could do now!

But many people had made up their minds and decided that they would definitely take the gamble and step up to help people in need if they ever encountered such an unexpected situation again.

In case they were lucky enough to rescue a tycoon like this old man, they would no longer have to slog their guts out for the rest of their lives!

The old man and his granddaughter were unaware of the changes in the mindsets of the onlookers.

As the young woman and the butler beside her helped the white-haired old man to the car to take him to the hospital for a thorough checkup, another luxury Audi sedan pulled

    Cecilia helped Victor get into the ambulance and sent him to the nearest hospital for a medical checkup.Lawrence and Caleb were naturally still worried, so they drove behind the ambulance and followed it to the hospital.Victor’s bodyguard and butler tagged along at the back of Cecilia’s car.After the group left, the onlookers who were still crowding around this spot suddenly broke into a heated discussion.“Damn it. That old man is clearly not an ordinary figure! I don’t know who he is, but the two who arrived after him, One of them is the helmsman of the Carter family, while the other is the founder of Dawn Inc. They’re both big shots with net worths of millions or even tens of millions of dollars!”“Are they such bigwigs? I noticed that they were really respectful toward that old man. That old man is probably someone extraordinary, huh?”“Duh? He casually decided to reward his life savior with a few million dollars. How could his identity possibly be simple?”“Did you guys see th

    “Mr. Stiles, just as I have been cordial with you, I hope you reciprocate the same,” William remarked, addressing Charles.Clicking his tongue, Charles turned to William. “How much?”“What?”“How much for you to leave this place and leave Zara with me?” William raised a brow, unsure of what to make of Charles's audacious statement.Did he really think that a person could be bought just like that?Perhaps that was how he was raised and maybe a lowlife would accept such a disgusting offer.However, William decided not to decline outright and instead proceeded to play a prank.“A hundred grand.” William casually said, catching Zara off guard as she stared at him in disbelief.She'd thought he wouldn't budge but for him to accept the offer so shamelessly left her confused.Had she been wrong about him?Charles chuckled, almost like he'd expected it.Poor people were all the same.Dangle a bit of money in their face and they'd be quick to sell all their morals.Just as he was about to ma

    “Alright then.” Charles seemed satisfied with this as he immediately made the transfer before heading back to William.“Now then, you won't be able to get in. Of course, as for the lovely ladies with you, they are welcome to come in.”Saying that, Charles glanced at Zara. “So?... What do you say?”Zara wished to say something only to realize that there was no point.So, she intoned. “Enjoy yourself, Charles.”Then, she turned and left with William letting out a sigh. “You really don't know when to quit, do you?”Charles glared at him. “What does she see in you anyway?... Why is she so hung up on a loser like you?”William gave no response and left as well along with Victoria.Charles glared at him, barely holding back the urge to attack the bastard.Ultimately, he decided to take him on later.Tonight, he'd enjoy the fact that he'd stopped him from entering the lounge.However, he had no way of knowing that William wasn't about to give up just yet.“What?” Victoria stared at him in di

    “Apologies, sir; I hope I didn't keep you waiting?” The branch manager asked, maintaining his respectful tone while speaking to William.William replied. “No, you didn't.”“That's good. Would you like me to escort you to the special lounge?... I assure you it lives up to its title as a special lounge.”“Please do so,” William remarked.Unable to hold himself back any longer, Charles exploded. “What the hell is the meaning of this?... I said you should kick him out, why are you treating him like your boss?”“Because he is my boss.” The branch manager remarked causing Charles to freeze.“Wait what?”“Mister Belmont purchased the branch of Magnificent ten minutes ago. He is currently the new owner of this branch, which means it is no longer connected to the great Magnificent brand.”“Indeed.” William nodded. “Actually, I plan on renaming it. How does Will's Fun House sound?”“An excellent naming choice, sir!”“Thought so.”“Impossible!” Charles couldn't believe it.The same bastard that

    “Interesting. Yes, I want to go.” William said. “Great, then I will pick you up tonight.” Zara carefully said.William shook his head. “It's fine. I can go there by myself.”Then he added, “Just tell me the address and I'll be there.”“Very well. Tell them my name at the entrance. They will let you in.” Zara nodded.Just then, there seemed to be some commotion at the entrance to the area they were in after which a familiar face entered.“Miss Victoria, I've finally found you.” the man said.Victoria frowned. “Steven, what are you doing here?”“Oh, you don't seem happy to see me,” Steven said, feigning offense.“I asked a question, Steven, why are you here and even more than that, why are you here with company?” Victoria asked, her gaze shifting to the men standing behind Steven.Most were thugs but one among them stood out the most. He was an older man in a white dopo with a bald head and a long beard.Though his eyes were closed and he seemed docile, he appeared to be the most dang

    “Enough with the small talk! I’m going to send you to hell!” Azrael shouted impatiently.He was dying to get his hands on William and cut him up into tiny pieces.William ignored Azrael’s taunts and walked up to him silently.Since Steve had specifically come for him, it was obvious that he wanted revenge for what had happened at the club.If so, William had no qualms about giving him what he wanted.“Punk! Was it you who killed my apprentices?” Azrael glared at William with hostility.“They were asking for it,” William answered carelessly.“You still dare to deny it at this last moment of your life? Today, I am going to exact revenge for the death of my apprentices!” Azrael’s face twisted with hatred.“Sure, this depends on your abilities.” William was unaffected by Azrael’s threats.“Arrogant punk! I’m going to wipe you from the face of the earth!” Azrael roared.He concentrated the force in his feet and sprinted toward William with a burst of sudden energy.His movements were as fa

    Vehicles such as BMW’s and Audi’s were the cheapest ones in this parking lot.There were many Lamborghinis and Porsches, and he even saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom VII with a license plate of 666-666.This car was worth over six million.“There are a lot of rich people in Avalon.” William thought to himself.Upon entering the lobby, he told the receptionist Zara’s name, and the receptionist welcomed him into the event center.The auction hall was currently filled with representatives from the hidden families within Intercity.Numbering 50 in total, the auction wasn't rowdy or packed as each attendee was placed in a reserved room.William and Zara were seated in room 5 with the latter taking the time to explain how the auction works."This silver card is normally used during the auction to pay.""How does it work?" William inquired."You transfer the amount you wish into the card and then when an object you want is shown, you bid for it by sliding the card over this card reader and inputtin

    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

    “Sir Will, you’re back!” Seeing William, Katie stood up and greeted him. “Have a chat with Ms. Rodriguez. I’ll go check on my sister.”“That’s okay.” He smiled and turned his attention to Celia. “Why are you here?”“I’m here to thank you.” She flashed him a rare smile. “If you hadn’t saved me, I would have been screwed. Never in my life would I have thought that Harold was a phony bastard.”“You’re most welcome. Though I didn't do anything to him,” he replied unemotionally.“You didn't, but you had already told me how dangerous he was.” Her tone softened. “Look, I know you're upset. There was a misunderstanding. I’ll apologize to you on her behalf. We’re sorry.”William was rather surprised by her action.In his recollection, Celia was never one to back down.It was unusual of her to offer an apology.Still, the apology arrived too late.“There’s no need to apologize. After all, this is not the first time I’m misunderstood. It doesn’t matter to me.” He shrugged, looking unbothered.“W

    “William? Hurry up and go. Don’t care about me —” Victoria cried out weakly.When she saw William, she thought she’d finally be saved, but she never expected that Conrad would have a gun, so she instantly panicked.“Weren’t you talking so big, dipshit? Ha, you still have to admit defeat to our family. I guess you’re scared now, eh?” Conrad raised his gun and sniggered. “You better grovel if you don’t want to die, or I’ll send a bullet straight through your head!”“Grovel? As if you’re worthy of that.” William glared at the other man.“Worthy?” Conrad grinned maniacally and fired two shots near William’s feet. “I don’t want you to just grovel. I’ll fuck your woman right in front of you!”“Y–you shameless bastard!” Victoria’s chest rose and fell violently as she fumed. However, because of the drug, her flushed face looked more alluring than ever.“So what? I’ll have my fill with you before dealing with that brat!” Conrad declared.“I planned to finish you off in one go, but I changed my

    Without anyone noticing, he slipped a pill into her wine and smiled. “You still want to drink, don’t you. Victoria?... Let me join you.”He poured another glass for Victoria.Victoria, who was already tipsy, didn’t notice anything wrong and downed the glass without a word.Soon, her head became heavy and her vision blurred, making her sway.“Mr. Dennings, I think Ms. Smith is drunk.” Tanya returned just then.“It’s alright. I’ll send her home now. Her family’s worried sick.” Conrad promised with a kind smile.“Alright. Thanks, Ms. Dennings.” Tanya didn’t think too much about it and helped carry Victoria into Conrad’s car.Since the car only had two seats, she could only watch as the car’s headlights disappeared.“Humph! You’re finally in my arms. You like acting high and mighty, don’t you? Well, I’ll have some fun with you tonight.” Conrad smiled sinisterly and headed straight to the hotel.Meanwhile, William was in Oscar’s house, discussing a variety of things when his phone started

  • A great favor

    “Mr. Storm, don’t take it too hard. Although the knife injury damaged your fertility, it can actually be treated. Once you’re recovered, you can have a son, or even ten! It won’t be a problem.” William smiled as he attempted to cheer Oscar up.“Really?” Oscar trembled, his face expectant.In the past six months, the main reason he hadn’t slept with his wife was because he couldn’t get it up.However, because of his dignity as a man, he’d always kept it a secret.So, to hear that he’d be able to rise up again, naturally, he was elated.“Mr. Storm, if I dare to say it, it means I can do it.” As William spoke, he took out a tablet and said, “This is a concoction I created. It helps clear up circulatory pathways and heal internal injuries. Give it a try.”“Okay!” Without another word, Oscar took the concoction and swallowed it.As soon as the tablet entered his system, it turned into a rush of warmth that spread through his body.Instantly, he felt his mood lift, and his body felt better

  • Truly a tragedy

    Some time, seven years ago, Oscar had been on his way to a meeting to discuss a business deal when a hitman suddenly appeared.Fortunately, he didn’t lose his life, but ever since then, his injury had been causing him pain.The problem was that he’d never told anyone about this, so how did William find out?“Mr. Belmont, you’re really amazing! But how could you tell?” Oscar was both shocked and suspicious.“I’m a doctor. For most ailments, you can identify clues from the smallest details.” William replied.“Hahaha… You’re truly a miracle doctor, Mr. Belmont! I acknowledge your talent!” Oscar said.“What a compliment, Mr. Storm. I’m just using my wits.”“Mr. Belmont, could you take a good look and see whether this illness of mine can be cured?” Oscar extended his wrist.William felt for his pulse. Then, he responded, “It’s curable, but it will take some time. That knife injured your kidney, which has affected your ability to have children. Your reproductive ability has also greatly det

  • A gross betrayal

    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

    “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

    “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

    “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
