William crossed his legs on the couch where he sat and stared at the swinging crystal chandelier above his head.How can he not be sad after being rejected just now?Another man was chosen to protect Amelia and he could only watch."Mr. Miller, do you care for food? You must be famished after helping to bring back the eldest Miss. " The Butler had approached William, who was deep in thought.William shooed him away with his fingers without saying a word and shut his eyes again.He heard the receding footsteps of the butler, but soon enough, there was a returning footstep, light as a feather."Brother-in-law, you saved me again. How should I repay you?" He felt hands massaging his shoulder and the soothing voice of a young lady through his ears.Her perfume was indeed fragrant and could melt the heart of a man in an instant.The massage was satisfying, but he quickly got to his feet and turned around, " You! "Ava smiled sheepishly from behind the couch where she leaned and blinked her
William and Edward walked into a room that was filled with injured martial arts practitioners, and some even looked like they were at the point of death. The sight was depressing as the medical practitioners ran around to tend to their injuries and resuscitate many from the grip of death. The face of Edward fell on seeing this. The Sinclair family always had this large group of full masters as their ultimate trump card for years, and even the power-playing families were careful never to start a war with them. This had been the pride of his family and he had always looked to this group of cultivators as undefeatable. His daughter was back home, safe and sound, and this made him feel less concerned about the matter. This was for Amelia, the next heir of the family and any sacrifice done for her was worth it. Even his father would not question his move on this. His siblings might scold and berate him for taking such a rash action of revealing their trump card but the old m
“Are you calling them a liar?” Edward inquired, and just then, the woman came running back with General Wade, whose body was almost completely covered with gauze and bandages.He looked like someone who had been hit by a truck.“General Wade, you look like one who had indeed killed a powerful practitioner; my family will never forget your kindness this day,” Mr. Sinclair said respectfully to him.“Don’t be polite, Mr. Sinclair; we have sworn to serve your family with our lives.” General Wade secretly enjoyed the praise and recognition he was getting from everyone, but he had to pretend to be polite and humble.Not everyone can get such respect over the night.“This is Dr. Miller; he is a friend of the Sinclair,” Edward quickly introduced William, who was gazing coldly at General Wade.He was nothing close to having a breakthrough and was even struggling to remain in the full master realm.Even the woman who brought him was stronger than him as a full master.How dare he claim to have
The huge heap of debris that marked the burial site of the lightning fist was shaking in the Westside of New Spring.The entire half side of the building was no more as it had covered up the man after such a terrifying attack.It would take days for even construction workers to move the debris away, and for this reason, the Sinclair practitioners had left him there for dead.There is no way anyone could have survived such a catastrophic knockdown.This is what they believed but only if they were here at that moment to see what was happening with the shaking and what was about to happen. Boom! There was an explosive noise from the site of burial and spine-chilling lightning fires straight from the huge heap into the heavens. The debris was blown away, and some were even turned to smothering by such catastrophic energy. The figure of a man in torn clothes came stumbling out and his body was covered in a layer of dust. It was indeed the lightning fist himself, Caleb. He looked arou
"You are William Miller" Rex began and pulled a pen knife from his pocket as he approached him."I perceive you know my name already. Street gangster or car hijacker?" He asked Rex casually, and this made him frown.What he expected was for William to cower in fear and beg for his life but he wasn't even bathing an eye?"Your killer." Rex's lip twitched, and his grip on the pen knife tightened."Cool" William smiled distantly."Here you are cruising around with Amelia Sinclair's vehicle? Do you think you are worthy of her or that you would grow old together and have children? Such a dream." There was a look of disgust in his eyes as he spoke.He thought William Miller was a very wealthy person with unparalleled influence in the city only to discover that he used to be the useless Son-in-law of the Wilson family.He even used to work as a garbage collector for a waste management company.How was such a person with the city's goddess Amelia Sinclair?This made Rex even more confident ab
Doctor Elijah had finished looking through the copies of the scan for several seconds before saying to the older doctor, "This is an easy treatment. Isn't the cause of the young master's problem obvious? Are these not metals inside his legs?""Needles, to be specific," The older Doctor responded, "It's not that easy; as I have told you before, the metal keeps changing position, and we can't get to it. We have tried everything we can"Doctor Elijah snorted coldly and puffed his chest, "You old doctors really don't know the new technologies and techniques used for treating patients. With me here, this thing is a minor issue. What superstition are you talking about moving needles?"The old man clenched his fist slightly as he was discredited but couldn't start a matter over the matter as the watching eyes of Ms. Sinclair and her daughter hovered over them."Then hurry up and save my son"The young doctor adjusted his gown and turned to the old man, "Have your nurses prepare him for surge
It’s been several hours since Doctor Elijah entered the operating room to perform a minor leg surgery on Harry to remove the needles.The Snow family were all in the waiting room with the head of the family who had also joined them.Even the older Doctor in charge of taking care of Harry had stayed back and allowed his assistants to join Elijah instead.They were all waiting for good news and were hopeful, considering the expertise of Doctor Elijah and his past record.He was always successful anytime he entered an operating room.Zero failure.What they did not expect to happen was for the door to the operating room to suddenly burst open and the one who staggered out was Doctor Elijah.Balls of sweat were scattered all over his forehead, and his white coat was covered in blood.This made everyone gasp in shock.“I’m sorry…I’m sorry… I can’t.. I.. I can’t get it out... It just…just won’t get out.” He was panting heavily as he spoke in panic, and even his hands were trembling uncontro
General Jacob moved to the bed were Harry was fast asleep and said calmly, "How can this happen to the heir of our family under your watch? Do you have no power in this city anymore?"The head of the Snow family let down his head as he was being scolded by his brother over Harry.He might be the head of the family but Jacob was the eldest son who had chosen to join the military instead." It's not so brother. You know how reckless your nephew can sometimes be. If Master Albert hadn't betrayed us, William Miller would be a dead man right now, and we wouldn't be in this mess. He is now associated with Sinclair, and I have to be careful with every move I take now that they have revealed their trump card to the world. An army of full masters who cannot be underestimated. This is why I have called to you Brother, as a backing of the Snow family "General Jacob gently said," I've also heard of the forces that have been gathered by the Snow family because of the kidnap of their eldest miss.
