William stopped by a local café where he grabbed a cup of coffee when his phone started to ring with a call from the leader of the Black Serpent Gang, Johnathan.He paused for a while before receiving the call."Boss, you have to help us. We are in trouble..." Johnathan's alarming voice could be heard, "Some trained assassins from the Snow came over to our turf and they are burning everything down and injuring my men. They said they would kill everyone if our backing didn't show up. Boss, we don't stand a chance against them, I'm trying to hide my--"Johnathan's sharp scream was suddenly hard and the call was disconnected.A deep frown was imprinted on William's face and he rose abruptly to his feet." Harry Snow, you finally swallowed more than you can chew"He gulped in the remaining content and made his way out of the building.Meanwhile... "Beat them! Break their legs!" a huge man was giving orders as a group of assassins swarmed into a local casino, destroying and burning whatev
William stared strangely at the old man and crossed his hands behind him, “You all really soil the title of a master and a grandmaster. Some claim to be masters and now, a half step to Grandmaster ”The scorn in William’s expression was clear and this agitated the old man who gritted his teeth.“You! What do you know about masters? Do you think highly of yourself because of your spiritual senses, I know you are below the level of a master. You are a large margin away from a half step to master”This made William smile coldly, “You are barely hanging on to a half step to master and even dropped lately but you managed to cultivate for days and climbed back, yet you claim to be close to the grandmaster realm”William snickered because this was funny to him.The Old man’s face became distorted with anger and he couldn’t even hide his expression.He was also shocked but managed to keep it inside of him.For years, he had deceived people to think that he was a half-step to grandmaster and t
“A grandmaster?” Those who were watching could not believe their ears and could only gasp.They couldn’t even believe that the great Albert from the Snow family was kneeling in front of an ordinary-looking person.He was defeated for the first time and it looked easy because William was on the defensive just now.“Are you sure you can identify a grandmaster when you are not one?” William’s tone was mocking as he took a step towards Albert’s whose eyes were now shaking uncontrollably.The only martial arts practitioners who are known to be able to seal someone else’s cultivation are grandmasters and that is exactly what was done to him.He could no longer cultivate and he would die if he pushed himself harder.How? How can a shabbily-looking person be a Grandmaster and what was he even doing in a small place like New Spring?Albert chose his words carefully this time as he asked, “Are you really a grandmaster?”The fear of offending a grandmaster had him choking because one wouldn’t ev
The news of the kidnap of the eldest son of the Snow family had traveled far and wide in New Spring City and every effort to find him had proven futile.The reputation of the Snow family was slowly declining because of their power playing position in the city.People would indeed laugh at them because of this.If they cannot even protect the next heir of the family, then they are a big joke. The one who was more worried than the Snow family themselves was Albert, their number one ranked assassin.Harry Snow was his ticket to getting his cultivation back and he was nowhere to be found.This couldn’t be the doing of William Miller, right?He was a grandmaster so he should keep to his words.It was late into the night when Albert returned to the Snow family manor with a group of assassins who had been searching the entire city for the missing Harry Snow.When he entered the leaving room, everyone rose to their feet with a glimmer of hope in their eyes including Tracy Wilson.She had run
William frowned slightly and looked at the other persons who were still entering the place without restriction.“What’s going on? I’m here for the opening party and I’m late already”He wasn’t prepared for an argument so he dipped his hand into his pocket to pull out his invitation card but realized that he wasn’t with it.He had left it in the previous outfit he wore that day and had left the house in a hurry.The two security guards laughed, “What are you trying to do? Do you think we didn’t see when you dropped out of a taxi just now?”“Does that matter?” William asked and this made them laugh even harder.“Do you think that this is a regular party that you can sneak into? The people who are here today, you are not even fit to wash their cars”William merely shook his head and made to enter but they blocked his way again and this made him frown.They puffed their chest up arrogantly and one said, “We were assigned here to break the legs of people like you, you better leave now”“I
William Miller was also surprised to see her and his mind flashed to Evelyn.Did she invite her here or something?“Ms. Wilson, do you know him?” The man in the white suit asked but before she could respond, side talks began to come from different directions.“Isn’t that that useless ex-son-in-law of the Wilson family?”“I thought he looked familiar. It’s the trash picker, I heard he no longer works there. They must have sacked him from being useless” One of the women giggled.“It’s good Ms. Wilson divorced him quickly. How can a prestigious eminent beauty like her be associated with a loser who only knows how to pick trash?”“What is he doing here? Perhaps Ms. Wilson invited him here”All eyes turned to Tracey and her face flushed in embarrassment.Even after divorcing this useless man, people still dare to associate him with her.This was all her grandfather’s fault.She was initially wondering how he was still alive and even wanted to ask him about it but right now, she had to save
“Huh?”The CEO of the company?Everyone was stunned by Evelyn’s words and they even stared at each other to be sure they heard the same thing.Even William was surprised at how fast Evelyn had revealed him without even asking for his permission.Tracey blinked her eyes a thousand times in one second and gently tapped her ears to be sure they weren’t defective.“Ms. Smith, what did you say?”Her useless ex-husband a CEO?Not just any company but Quantumleap.That’s ridiculous and impossible.Evelyn puffed her chest like she had been waiting for this moment and got closer to William, “Ms. Wilson, you probably didn’t know, your husband is the CEO behind Quantumleap”Now, William understood why Evelyn had invited Tracey to this place.What was wrong with her?He was displeased she would try to do this thing but it didn’t show in his face.What did she hope to achieve?Tracey opened her mouth and couldn’t speak.This was just too impossible.How could this useless man be behind Quantumleap
“Ms. Wilson, are you sure about what you are saying?”“Yes, my ex-husband is really okay and he is even more despicable. He must have something to do with Harry’s kidnap” Tracey said hurriedly and had her seat on a street bench.“Ms. Snow, your useless husband is really dead. No one ever survives Mr. Albert. I understand that you love my son a lot and this has taken a toll on your mental health. You must be seeing things that aren’t real. Why don’t you take a good rest, Ms. Wilson? We would handle this”The call was hung up on her and this made her gasp.Even the head of the Snow family didn’t believe her.Without his help, she would not be able to deal with her ex-husband who was currently under the shadow of two powerful women in New Spring.The thought of it made her face ugly and her muscles tensed up.What do they see in that useless man?Perhaps he is good in bed.This made her face flush red.She never allowed William to get close to her so she would never know.Tracey grabbed
