"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
"Who would dare to reject an invitation from the Snow family? Do they want to die?" The head of the Snow family stamped his feet on the ground in displeasure.As the head of the Snow, he was confident that anyone would try to curry favor with a power player like them by associating with them."This great master is a very disciplined man. We didn't meet on good ground, but if you offer him something good, he would surely agree,e," Doctor Ronald explained to them hurriedly."Of course, the Doctor will be paid as long as he does, else he will end up like the other if he causes more problems, right?" Mr. Snow looked at the Butler of the family who quickly explained, "Doctor Elijah has indeed been dealt with, Mr. Snow. We made sure to break his leg and cut him the same way he did to the Young Master, he would not be able to use his legs again""Doctor Elijah...?" Alfred Ronald is surprised.He was not on good terms with the Western practicing Doctor who had started an argument with him on
“I told you father, the Snow family are simply troublemakers. They are only trying to stir this by using William as an excuse for this act” Amelia spoke to her phone as she stepped out of her bungalow home in a business suit.“Amelia, they are demanding to have a death duel with our practitioner who killed the lightning fist, and they want the young doctor to be part of this too,” Edward explained to her from the other end of the phone, and this made her sigh heavily.“What nonsense is this? What point are they trying to prove? We have no hand in the death of the half-step to grandmaster practitioner. Can you just tell them that? We only found his body in the forest” She stamped her feet on the ground in anger and raised her voice.“And the forest coincidentally happens to be right behind us. Listen to me Daughter, there is nothing we say that would change the fact that everyone believes we are involved in the death of the lightning fist, not that I’m not relieved that a threat like h
