William had just arrived at the Quantumleap Company in a taxi and was on a call with Evelyn whose voice was audible from the other end of the phone."We are having them transported out of New Spring this morning. I just thought to let you know about this in case you change your mind about their punishment"William alighted from the vehicle and approached the building, "I've given you instructions, Eve, and that is final. Good day..."He made to hang up the call when she said aloud, "My informants found the six herbs and roots of nourishment somewhere in the South"His expression relaxed and his tone became much quieter, "That's a quick one"The remaining ingredients needed to brew the medication that could cure the Old Master Wilson were very rare and only grow in seasons, once in a hundred years, except they are preserved by seasoned farmers of spiritual herbs and roots.Amelia Sinclair already helped him with the Timeless Ginseng Root as that is the easiest to find in different part

When William arrived at Amelia's place, he hurried towards her front porch and found her waiting for him already with her hands on her waist."Thank God you're here" She sighed in relief and brushed her long hair with her hand."Are you alright?" This was what he was most concerned about and she nodded before beckoning at him, "Here, take a look..."He followed her closely and there was a man on her front porch.His body was pale as that of a dead body and blood was oozing from his red bulgy eyes.It might even be difficult to tell if he was alive or dead assuming his dry fingers weren't shaking gently.William frowned at the sight of this but could tell what was wrong with the man from the bad smell that came from his body.He had met this person before."I found him here when I came out this morning, I don't even know how he found my place," Amelia said, covering her nose because of the annoying odor, "It's the Doctor. He kept whispering 'great doctor' ""Remember, he had infected h

The men with clubs were slowly surrounding William and this made Kate to be even more frightened.She stepped forward and quickly said, "Ms. Snow, it doesn't have to be this way. Maybe we can talk things out and resolve this amicably"Kate knew about the power-playing families just as everyone in New Spring and the power that they held.They could do a lot of things and not be questioned about it.A member of a power-playing family could even kill someone and get away with it.They were like the gods of the city and an ordinary person like her would not even think of offending them.She understood that William had some money now and he was also associated with the prestigious Amelia Sinclair but he could not afford to be reckless.The Sinclair were a second-rate family and cannot be compared to the Snow even though they cannot be underestimated in New Spring."Are you his girlfriend?" Ruth snorted coldly and her chest was even more puffed up."No, I'm not. This must be a misunderstand

"Marcus is what you refer to as the Underground King of New Spring. Drugs, weapons, illegal stuff, laundering through paper companies, and every crime under the surface of the earth that you can think of, everything passes through him.Before the power-playing families, there was Marcus and he was the richest and most powerful person around here. Until he mistakingly killed a woman on live camera under the influence of drugs. Deaths behind cameras can be manipulated but not on camera. Even the government would not be able to save him. He was tried in court and the judge sentenced him to 120 months in prison, that was seven years ago. He broke out of prison this morning with many other criminals who have mostly been sentenced to life imprisonment and they killed the prison wardens "William's frown deepened, "Why would someone break out of prison and his next move is to have Amelia kidnapped? Is there something you're not telling me?""I don't dare. According to the audio we managed to

Marcus took a few steps back and his expression became distorted, "How dare you? Do you know who I am? I will take over this city once again and everyone will bow at my feet. I'm the king""You should have just stayed in prison. Is it ten years already" Amelia asked and this made his face even more ugly."You should see yourself as lucky and worthy that I'm interested in you. Any woman would count themself lucky to be kidnapped by me" Marcus said arrogantly and rubbed his full-bearded face with an unseen smirk on his face."Any woman. I'm not any" Amelia was a very stubborn woman and wouldn't give in to pressure easily, "I have a boyfriend already and we are getting married soon"She was hoping he would let her go knowing she was with someone else but he laughed louder."Is it that useless William Miller?"Amelia frowned and groaned in rage.She was always mad whenever anyone called William useless or insulted him."So it's really him?" Marcus clenched his fist, "I thought it was all
