The faces of the members of the Sinclair family all dropped and they stared at each other but this wasn't too surprising to them.The old man had stopped involving himself in the affairs of the family except it involved suggestive moves to overthrow the chosen heir, Amelia.He wanted the family to get used to handling situations without his presence and this was understood by a number of the members of the family including Amelia but she decided to withhold her statement.The room was left in silence until incoming footsteps drew their attention and when they looked, William Miller walked in.The expression of everyone changed instantly. Some were displeasure to see a shabbily dressed person like him appearing at the Sinclair meeting because he is in a relationship with the heir of the family, some are surprised at the audacity he had to walk in and just one was excited to see him in one piece, Amelia. Her gloomy expression had brightened. "You! What are you doing here now? Where w
These words from William made most of the members of the Sinclair family laugh to their fullest.Even the power-playing families of New Spring cannot boast of knowing one Grandmaster in the world, but an ordinary-looking person like William claims to know a few of them.To find a half-step to grandmaster practitioner is not even easy and one would require a lot of influence in the world to be associated with such people.Did this William Miller person come here to make a mockery of them by suggesting that he knew a few Grandmaster practitioners?This infuriated a number of them and they wanted to attack him right there."How dare you come here to say nonsense?""Does he not have respect for our family to think he can joke around here?""I wonder why Amelia brings up an uncultured person like this. How is he even a doctor?""I order the guards to throw him out of this place now, or I'll walk out of this meeting," One of the Elders of the family threatened with a loud voice.Amelia quic
"D-did you...?" Amelia stammered as she stared suspiciously at William and got closer to him.This made everyone look in their direction and William wasn't sure whether to disappear at that moment.She shook her head in disbelief and quickly said, "What am I saying?"There was no way William could be responsible.This was a dangerous person they were talking about.Even General Wade could not stop him."You didn't believe me. None you did"It was William's turn to raise his shoulders while every other person either let their head or stared at each other.The last news that any member of the Sinclair family was expecting at that moment was for announcement of the death of the lightning fist."Don't say nonsense because of-- I mean how would you have known that he is dead? Are you trying to take credit now?" One of Amelia's distant relatives puffed her chest up in arrogance as she spoke to William."Do you think I'm not capable?" William asked with a little smirk on his face."How can y
"Mr. Sinclair, it's bad"The starting noise died down, and everyone concentrated on the Butler of the family, who quickly said, "The Snow... The Snow sent a message to the Sinclair"This made Amelia frown as she got to her feet very slowly, "The Snow? The power-playing family? "It was rare for a family like theirs to be contacted by a power-playing family they were not associated with.All of the power-playing families in New Spring secretly despise Sinclair for being the next possible family to join the already existing power players.The thought of sharing their power with yet another family was not something that they would want."Yes... Yes..." The Butler said hurriedly."Perhaps they want to associate with us. I believe not all of the power-playing families are excited about the return of Marcus knowing the nature of the power he held in this city. If they want to associate with us now, Gary Marcus would be nothing but a fly in the air to kill "One of Edward's brothers said conf
William was speechless as he looked at Amelia who still had a fiesty expression on her face."Mr. Miller, Amelia is right, you shouldn't make rash decisions," Edward intervened to say quickly, "You might not know, but General Jacob of the Snow family is a warrior from a very young age, and he has been in the army for the past two decades. He is a legion commander"To him, signing the invitation was suicidal as this General Jacob was not someone to be riffled with.William was just a Doctor compared to a battlefield commander like this man.The Snow surely knew his capabilities and that's why they are brazen to send a letter like this."Edward, what do you think you are doing? You want to start a war with the Snow because of this reckless nobody." One of his brothers cursed at the top of his voice, and the other brothers agreed with him in one voice. "Have you forgotten about the martial arts assassins that the Snow family has with them?" "What about the rumor? One of their practitio
William alighted from the white Lamborghini in front of his villa and just then, the phone in his pocket buzzed.He took the call and remained silent until a feminine voice sounded from the other end, "Don't ask how I found out about your new contact?""Evelyn," William's voice neither held resentment nor was it welcoming."I'm leaving New Spring. I'm on my private flight already," She revealed to him, and he remained silent, a hint of surprise in his eyes.She continued, "The company is in your hands now but I've entrusted a trusted arm to handle things for you. She is reliable. You can put your own arm if you're not happy with this""Has the Old man given up already?" William's voice was cold this time and she delayed before responding."I'm leaving for personal reasons. You don't have to express your excitement about this" Evelyn said to him, "I don't know if I'll return. Just don't end up dead""You were supposed to pick your car tonight" He spoke like he couldn't care less about
"Fvck this! And this...!" Gary Marcus yelled at the top of his voice as he trashed the room by throwing around whatever was in his path.Soon, there was nothing left for him to destroy, and so he walked out of the room to see the rows of armed men waiting for him."Are you really sure of this thing you have heard?" Marcus demanded in a stern voice.One of the gunmen quickly approached and explained to him, "It's been hours since Master Connor left for the Sinclair villa, he should be back already, you know him" "Is that enough evidence?" He shouted. "The news is circulating already, Lord Marcus. The Sinclair are really bathing in the glory of this. I even paid someone who works for them to confirm this information, and he did it for the money, but that's all; he won't give me any more information," The gunman replied with a solemn expression. "So you're telling me that my right arm, the great lightning fist himself is dead? The warrior of San Francisco who has remained undefeated.
"Brother, the Sinclair are yet to reply to our letter, do you think that they are brazen to think of protecting that William Miller?" The one who spoke was the head of the Snow family, and beside him was his brother, General Jacob, who stood at ease with his hands behind him as a military person."They killed a popular half-step to grandmaster practitioner last night. How can they not be brazen? Every power-playing family is definitely shaken by this news. Caleb was a very powerful man," General Jacob spoke, and his eyes looked around the room until he stopped to look directly at Harry, who was still on the bed, writhing in pain."Brother, this is what we all feared, isn't it coming to the surface now? The Sinclair might actually be pushing to become the next power-players of New Spring. With this move along, they have proven how formidable of an opponent they are. One will have to be careful with dealing with them in the future. This is why we the power players have always observed t
