Judging from this, he couldn't allow a goddess like Victoria to remain at the side of a frog like William, so He immediately moved to save the lovely woman from the clutches of the beast.

“Mister Hall, what a surprise.”

“Indeed it is. I didn't expect to see you here but now that you are here, perhaps, we can walk together?”

“A lovely suggestion but one I would have to decline as I already have company.”

As she spoke, William reached out to shake Logan only for the latter to regard him with apparent disgust.

“Miss Smith, I doubt it is okay for a woman of your standing to be walking around with a classless individual like this. Don't you think so?”

Victoria's expression shifted as she remarked. “I don't think who I associate with should concern you, Miss Hall.”

Clearing his throat, he addressed Victoria softly. "I hope you aren't offended by my words but you have to understand that there are people in this world that would take advantage of you the moment you let them. As s

    Wagging a finger at William, Logan remarked. "You are going too far…""And you!" Logan shifted to Victoria. "Are you really so foolish that you can't see through this scammer's lies?"Then returning to William, he spat coldly. "Get out right now or you won't like what I'd do to you!”William merely regarded him in amusement, considering him a clown employee by AutoNation as he turned away to address the attendant who had approached him first."So how do I pay?... Do you guys take cash, card, or transfer?" William casually inquired.Logan was taken aback by how calm William was, considering how much he was threatening him.Meanwhile, the attendant replied. "We only accept cards, sir.""Alright, bring the card reader." William nonchalantly replied.The attendant quickly retrieved the card reader and a moment later, William paid for the car, leaving Logan confused and in utter disbelief.Grinning widely, William casually remarked. "Now then, where were we?... Ah yes, we were talking abou

    The large man replied. “There's no need to ask questions, just follow us and no one has to get hurt.”“Are you trying to kidnap us?... In broad daylight?” Celia asked, trying to scare the men off with the prospect of drawing unnecessary attention from law enforcement.The largest man grinned as he put up his shirt, revealing a gun tucked in his pants. “Think what you want. Now come along and no one has to get hurt.”“Celia,” Ava called out in a frightened tone as she laid eyes on the exposed gun while Celia barely managed to keep her wits about her.Taking a deep breath, she asked. “Where would we be going?”“No need to ask questions, I already said that.” The thug remarked. “Don't worry; your family members are already waiting for you at the location, so you won't be alone.”“What!?”“Mom, Dad.” Ava breathed out as she realized that the situation was not as simple as they thought.With no other choice, Celia remarked. “Fine then, we'll come with you.”“Good choice.” The thug said bef

    “Lucas, you snake!... How can you even be so spineless?... Who asked you to take a loan?” Ava cursed, unable to hold back after hearing all that Lucas had to say. “You took out a loan and now you want us to pay for it?... How disgusting can you be?”Lucas sneered. “But I wasn't disgusting when I was getting you all those expensive gifts, right?... Hah, you'd better not get me upset!”“Alright, alright, that's enough,” Landon said, bringing an end to the exchange of words between the two.As they knelt in the courtyard of Landon Vreeks manor, the Rodriguez family couldn't help but stare at Lucas, thinking themselves fools to have thought of him as a man who could take them to the next level.But the most distraught was Celia as she realized at that moment that she had been fooled by Lucas and his display of wealth.To think that he had inadvertently placed them in debt while acting like he was gifting them expensive things.She clenched her jaw as she glared hatefully at Landon.“It se

    Landon didn't even let her finish as he struck her with the whip multiple times, drawing blood and ripping up her clothes in the process. Celia let out an agonized scream as the whip struck her mercilessly, leaving her on the edge of death by the time Landon was done. “Hehe, that was fun.” Landon said as he locked his lips. Only those that knew him well, understood that Landon was a psychotic bastard that enjoyed torturing women. He enjoyed it most when the woman went against him as it made him even more excited to hit them more. “Boss, I think she fainted.” One of his subordinates reported after checking on Celia's condition. “Bah, this one is no fun,” Landon remarked, after learning that Celia had passed out. He didn't even act like he was talking about a human being causing the other members of the Rodriguez family to feel terrified as they realized in that moment the type of person Landon was. He wasn't a person at all! He was a monster! Even Lucas couldn't help bu

  • The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates   Dealing back pain in kind

    It was Celia, hanging on a metal pole with her arms in the air and her clothes in tatters. She looked a complete mess as she squirmed due to the pain she experienced as a result of the salt rubbed into her wounds, so much so that William's blood ran cold at the sight. Instinctively, he balled his hands into a fist as a terrifying aura surged out from within him, engulfing the entire manor and alerting everyone within to his presence. A single step took him from the gates to where Celia was strung up and a swipe of his arm cut the ropes that bound her. Even as he caught her, preventing her from hitting the ground, she continued to squirm, letting out an agonizing scream that left William even more shaken. William worked with the precision of a surgeon, coating his palm with spiritual energy before then moving his hand across Celia's many wounds. Some had already begun to fester and if he didn't do this, it wouldn't be long before they would cause a terrible infection. The c

    “Eahhh!” Landon screamed in agony as the whip struck his skin, digging so deep that when it was retracted, it took so much flesh that his bone was visible. “Bastard, how dare you harm our boss!?” Landon's henchmen rushed out to attack William, pulling out their weapons intending to cut William apart. Unfortunately for them, they underestimated William's ability with a whip. Within moments, the whip lashed out multiple times, and with each lash, a henchman was struck, ensuring that the moment they fell, they would never get back up. By the time William was done, Landon's henchmen were dead, and the bastard was left stunned as he stared wide-eyed at William. “... Who are you?” Landon asked with a terrified look on his face.Landon had always been the one with the whip and while he was with it, many had suffered unimaginable pain.He was capable of using it in ways that ensured that though the person wouldn't die, they would undoubtedly wish for death.But now, someone else was with

    William snorted as he watched the attackers jump out of their hiding spots.They numbered almost a hundred, and each one wielded both cold and hot weapons while also possessing spiritual energy, which marked them out as cultivators.William tossed Landon aside like a piece of wood before charging at the attackers, who also rushed at him.What followed was a terrifying battle that left Landon despairing as William used his fists, legs, and even the whip he'd confiscated to end the lives of Landon's henchmen.The sounds of fighting and agonized screaming ended roughly fifteen minutes later, with William, the last man, standing while every other individual was left sprawling on the ground.For those that were not dead, it was more than certain that they would never be able to move again as William turned them into vegetables.“You are a monster!” Landon exclaimed as he stared at William who was rapidly approaching him, having already dealt with his henchmen.“I will give you one chance t

    Marcel had come across numerous individuals in his lifetime as a man seeking the ultimate cure to mortality, a quest he embarked on after the death of his master, the Poison Master.With the experience he had gathered, he was quite good at gauging an opponent's strength but when faced with a masked William, he found himself unable to do that.It was almost like he was standing before a great beast that would devour him should he step out of line.His heart palpitated, an act that hadn't happened in a long while, considering it was out of fear.“Who… are… you?” Marcel asked in a hoarse tone.“My identity is not important,” William replied. “What is important is the fact that we will have problems if you harm that girl or any of those people.”“I… paid… for… them.” “Then I'll repay you,” William said. “Just let them go.”Marcel blinked a few times, weighing the pros and cons of an exchange with William before ultimately nodding in agreement.Putting the vial aside, he took out a pen an

  • Get lost

    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

  • Fishing out the real culprit

    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

  • Just be careful

    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 Hendricks is dead!?

    “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

  • Assasinated

    Of course the fact that he lost left a bad taste in his mouth and so, Paul wasn’t in the mood to stay at Twin Peaks Mountain any longer and drove back home.He reckoned that he would definitely figure out how to deal with William after asking his brother, father, or grandfather about it once he got home.Twin Peaks Mountain was located in the outskirts of Avalon, far away from the city center.When he was passing through a section of deserted woods, the street lights on both sides of the road suddenly went out all at once.“Damn it!” Paul was shocked, and he was in complete darkness.His car was the only one on the road.For some reason, he had an extremely ominous hunch, and he felt that something dangerous was about to happen.Paul got the creeps and subconsciously turned up the volume of the rock music playing on the car stereo in a bid to relieve the panic within him with the noise.At the same time, he also floored the gas pedal and drove out of the blacked-out area at top speed.

  • An exciting victory

    At this moment, Seamus finally understood that William really dared to crash into his car!“Lunatic! You’re f*cking nuts!” Seamus cursed.But in the end, he still didn’t dare to put his life at risk and perish together with William.So he could only turn the steering wheel abruptly and swerve to the side of the road when William’s car was about to touch his car’s rear.The width of the mountain road was actually wide enough to fit two cars.Seamus chose the side near the mountain wall, which was relatively safer.If William messed up when overtaking, he wouldn’t be at fault!But Seamus soon widened his eyes in shock.William had somehow pulled a stunt and managed to lift the tires near the side of the road and was driving along the road with his car tilted.Meanwhile, the two tires on the other side were moving on the guardrail of the mountain road.The position was strange yet beautiful. He immediately overtook Seamus!While William’s car was moving steadily in front of his, Seamus f

  • Phoenix Blade

    The sword landed on the ground with a loud sound.The masked figure was shocked and immediately tried to snatch the sword back, but William had already beaten him to it and stepped on the thick, long sword.“Phoenix Blade?” William glanced at the sword under his feet with a look of bewilderment.He recognized it as one of the four treasures that his master had created.There was the Phoenix Blade, the Turtle Shield, the Dragon Fang, and the Tiger Armor.His master had created them and gifted them to four peerless masters across the world.To think that he would find one of such items in the hands of a petty goon.William was nothing short of disgusted.The attacker tried to take back the blade but William didn't even waste any more time on him, utilizing his aura to hold him down before landing a flying kick that sent the attacker flying a great distance and slamming into a tree.The attacker tried to stand up again only to spit up a mouthful of blood and collapse to the ground, never

  • An impressive expert?

    Victoria naturally saw him too, and her heart tensed up immediately while her face turned pale.Having experienced two assassinations that almost cost her her life, Victoria had become extremely sensitive to strangely dressed people who suddenly appeared at untimely junctures. She immediately asked William, “Who… who is he? Is he here to assassinate me?”William narrowed his eyes slightly.This figure didn’t look tall, and his walking stance and aura seemed extremely oppressive.‘He must be an impressive expert!’ William immediately thought.At the same time, he had also confirmed a conjecture of his.Back when Paul suggested that they compete in car racing, William already felt that something was amiss and thought that Paul must have had something else planned.It seemed that the person who suddenly appeared should be the ‘surprise’ that Paul had specially prepared for him.In that case, the reason Paul proposed such a strange bet with Victoria and even asked her to call a friend ove

  • Encountering a slight delay

    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
