Woodruff felt slightly offended by that statement. “Exactly. So why would I surround my home with lazy security? I had over two hundred security guards around the estate, along with over fifty personal bodyguards protecting me and my family. That demon spawns brought in support in the form of masked mercenaries, and, worst of all, those bodyguards of his. That night, every single one of my men was left with human meat passed for hands. They had to quit working for me and I had to pay them enough to keep them afloat for the rest of their lives.”Veronica didn’t need to hear the rest of Woodruff’s story, especially when she heard that William brought his bodyguards along. She could now understand how William was truly the culprit of the Camillo mansion explosion. “Damn! Those bodyguards of his, they’ve fought against my creatures and defeated all of them. If it wasn’t for his bodyguards, I wouldn’t have lost those creatures that day. They were all taken away to God knows where. It was

There was a moment of stifling silence after William spoke. Those with a cute perception could feel the anger brimming with Veronica.It was quite obvious that the Parker woman was not expecting William to go straight to the point. She had anticipated being the one to rile him up, perhaps using his destroyed properties as a catalyst to make William lose his cool, and yet, the opposite was happening.Veronica smirked wryly as she shifted her gaze to Woodruff seated to her left. “Can you believe this foolish boy? He actually has the guts to act like he didn’t know what he did.”William sneered internally while maintaining an outward nonchalance. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m really not pretending. Look, the truth here is that I tend to forget a lot of my actions if I deem them unworthy of remembering at all. I’m not gonna say that I’m not guilty of whatever you think I did. Rather, I’m letting you know that I’ve probably flushed it out of my memory since the event

Woodruff, who had been silent the whole time, frowned with widened eyes as he noticed this too late. “Mrs. Veronica, wait!” He had way more experience facing William when compared to Veronica. So the multi-billionaire could instantly tell this wouldn’t bode well for his partner.Unfortunately, it really was too late.Seven gunshots were released and a bunch of groans and short yelps were heard in the meeting room before everything went briefly quiet.Veronica glanced to the side to find Woodruff’s wide eyes on her, and she smirked wickedly, assuming that expression to be of astonishment. But then her gaze shifted to William and her smirk froze on her face. “Huh?!” She had expected to see the young man with his eyes closed and seven holes in his forehead, bleeding out profusely as he took his last breath. That wasn’t what she saw though. William was absolutely fine. He remained calmly seated in his seat and he wasn’t touched in the slightest. The chaotic scene she expected to be wi

Veronica wasn’t only getting furious now, she was getting really scared. Though none of the sniper's targets was placed on her or Woodruff, it wasn’t even the fact that she could get shot that scared her. The real scary factor here is the university student who is literally sitting through this chaos with the most unbothered demeanor. It wasn’t just this though. Growing up as a notable member of the Parker family, Veronica had been through multiple terrifying ordeal, like being a victim of kidnapping. She had also been at the throes of death so many times, that she had now gotten numb to the feeling. The difference here was that, for all those enemies she had faced before, those who had a calm demeanor always had a ‘base demeanor’ of lunacy underneath. In William’s case though, she couldn’t detect any such trace, but rather an unwavering confidence. William was fully confident in his security and arsenal, and that was much more terrifying than anything else to Veronica. For someone t

When Veronica turned her gaze around, she felt her heart stop as she gazed with wide eyes. She could see those bodyguards around her had now dropped to the ground, unmoving. She didn’t want to believe the logical conclusion her brain was cooking up but the longer she stared around, the more the reality settled in. Her bodyguards were now dead, with bloody holes in their foreheads. The dead bodyguards also had multiple bloody holes in their bodies. It was quite a desolately horrific scene for the Parker woman.“H….how is this possible?” Veronica Parker slowly crawled out from underneath the table where she had taken cover during the intense shoot-out. Rising her upper torso on her knees, she could see the other bodyguards lying around farther from her. They were truly all dead; every single one of them. She shifted her gaze about, as her eyes began searching for a familiar face. Within seconds, she spotted the face of the head bodyguard. He was surely dead as well.Woodruff sighed.
