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

    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

    Starting with the first thug, William dealt with each one without mercy, ensuring that by the time he was down to the last man, the thug had already wet himself in fright, his body trembling as he stared wide-eyed at William as though he were a demon.“You are the one they mentioned.” The thugs remarked as he took a step back.“Hmm?”“I knew your face was familiar, you are William Belmont.”William was surprised and asked. “You know me?”The thug gulped anxiously. “Yes, of course!... Mr. Belmont, I'm so sorry, this is all a misunderstanding.”Then, he yanked off his mask, revealing a face covered in scars.“I'm Bobby and I work for the Sinister Six.”“I see.” “I'm sorry, sir; if we had known it was you, we wouldn't have dared to come near you!”The other thugs finally caught on, realizing that the man they had been sent after was no small individual.They swiftly scrambled to their feet to apologize. “This is a huge misunderstanding!”“Please, have a smoke, Mister Belmont.

  • I've got a job for you

    After apologizing to William, Celia's father turned to Ava and Andre. “William here has warned us that the pill was fake and dangerous, but you two were the loudest objectors. I don't even know what to say about your foolishness anymore.”,Ava and Andre stood awkwardly with lowered heads.To think that their father had done the same thing but he was blaming them alone. The doctor's ears perked up at this exchange as he asked with a frown. “Pill?... Are you, by any chance, talking about a medicinal pill from the Heavenly Orchard?”Ava thought the doctor might have some insight and eagerly replied. “Yes, it's exactly that. Doctor, you can tell that the pill grandpa took was a genuine pill, right?”“Hmm, well…”“Heh, I knew it couldn't be fake since Harold got them directly from Heavenly Orchard. It's perfectly normal for Grandpa to faint. His body was just too weak for such powerful medicine.”Ava had already begun to toot her own horn, only for her analysis to be met with a cold laugh

    William didn't owe the Rodriguez family anything and if not for his relationship with Diego, he wouldn't even be breaking bread with them.He could be anywhere else and he wouldn't have to go through the humiliation they put him through.Yet, time and again, he had been forced to step up and get them out of trouble, only to end up getting insulted.At this point in time, he was all but done with taking things lying down.He didn't wish to show the side he only showed to those he hated, but the Rodriguez family was pushing him closer to that line every single time their paths crossed. “William, please,” Celia muttered, only to receive a cold glare from him, causing her to back away in fright.Then, without saying anything, he stepped forward and quickly pressed several pressure points on Diego's body to stop the bleeding.With some therapeutic massage, Diego's breathing eventually steadied. If not for his good relationship with Diego and the fact that the old man was nothing like his

  • Don't push me

    Celia frowned and said. “William, you may know something about medicine as a doctor but the medicinal pill is a closely guarded secret of the Heavenly Orchard. Claiming you know about it is ridiculous.”Harold, who has been watching with a smile, chimed in, “Since William claims my pill is fake, perhaps he could explain exactly how?”“A fake is a fake. What more explanation is needed?” William retorted. Harold sighed with feigned patience. “William, I think there's been a misunderstanding. Perhaps you are upset about Celia and me, but this pill was obtained at great expense through my connections at Heavenly Orchard. Don't you think it's going too far to insult my sincere gift like this?”His words immediately stirred the family's sympathy as they glared at William in disgust.Ava scolded. “William, if you can't say anything nice, then you are welcome to leave!”“That's enough, William!... It's one thing to be incompetent but being unable to accept others' success makes you truly pat

    After hearing what Ava had to say, Diego scowled and retired. “Such ignorance!... I've lived for more years than you have!... Do you think you are wiser than me?”“No, that's not…” Ava tried to explain only to be sharply cut off by Diego.“Listen here, I once had the privilege of tasting just half a glass of this at a noble family's home and I've never forgotten it!”The family turned to stare at William, who remained composed and said. “This wine lives up to its name as Ambrosia.”Diego nodded approvingly. “Well said, my boy. Now then, about the rest of the wine, hand it over quickly.”Chuckling, William calmly handed over the bottle and Diego's breathing quickened with excitement.He fought the urge to snatch the bottle from William,. exclaiming in vivid excitement. “Oh my, there's still a lot of it left. This would fetch nearly a million dollars on the market. You are quite generous!”“Dad, is this cheap wine really as amazing as you are claiming?” Celia's father asked skeptically.

  • Cheap wine

    “Granddad, look at this.” Andre pulled up a decorated box of wine. “Harold brought this beautiful wine over, a fine Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1945. We should all toast with this!”“Chateau Mouton-Rothschild 1945? That’s a really expensive wine, no?”“Yes, it is. It was three hundred thousand dollars a bottle!” Harold boasted.“What? Three hundred thousand dollars a bottle?!” everyone exclaimed in shock. The sky-high price had been way beyond their expectations.The Rodriguez family was pretty well–off, but even they hadn’t had a chance to try something this expensive.“Why’d you spend all that money on this, Harold? It’s too much, no?” Ava questioned, though pride laced her tone.“Three hundred thousand isn’t much. I have another barrel of this at home, so please, you all enjoy,” Harold said with a prideful grin.“Mr. O'Malley, you’re really generous.”“Yeah, we’re really in for a treat tonight!”The family began praising Harold for his wine, feeding his ego further.“Hey, boy, look a
