William’s words were like a boulder thrown into a lake. Stunned by his words, they looked at each other and were at a loss for how to react. As the person William pointed at, Benedict nearly exploded with rage! “Bastard! I think you’re tired of living! Damn it. I wanted to give you a chance and groom you because you’re quite capable, but since you don’t know any better, go to hell!” Then his finger moved on the trigger, ready to shoot William! Suddenly, a cold and sharp blade was pressed against Benedict’s neck. “Stop, don’t move.” A deep but familiar voice rang beside Benedict’s ear. As expected, Benedict didn’t dare to move. As someone who had been involved with gangs for years, he could tell just from the feeling of the cold and sharp blade being pressed against the artery of his neck that it must be an extremely sharp dagger! He could even sense the chilliness coming from the blade. It was as if the dagger would slit his throat as long as he breathed a little harder! No

Celia was so anxious that she couldn’t think of anything else, and she wanted to dash into the room after pushing Rita’s hand away. But several security guards were guarding the entrance to the room, all of whom pushed Celia to the side hostilely, not allowing her to get close at all. With a look of despair in her eyes, Celia felt extremely worried. But as a vulnerable woman, there was nothing she could do now. She had no choice but to grab Rita’s hand helplessly and ask in a shaky voice, “What should we do? Could something have happened to him? If I had known… If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have let him go up against Benedict Zander…” Seeing Celia’s bizarre reaction, Rita finally realized that the relationship between Celia and the person she thought was a crook trying to take Celia away seemed to be more complicated than she thought. “Celia, do you guys… know each other?” Rita asked hesitantly. But Celia was now overwhelmed with anxiety and didn’t have the time

Initially, they thought that William managed to make the dice pierce through Benedict’s wrist only because he was skillful and got lucky.But none of them dared to think so now!This young man was actually keeping a straight face even after killing Rowan!He wasn’t afraid to kill someone at all! As long as he was willing, he could casually kill all of them with the cup of dice on the table!With this thought in mind, they could no longer maintain a steady gait as their legs turned into jelly.They dropped onto their knees, kneeling in front of William and begging him for mercy.“Sir, I have no objections! From today onward, you are our boss. We are willing to listen to whatever you say!”“Yes! Me too! I pledge allegiance to you, and I’ll do whatever you tell me to do without question!”William didn’t pay attention to them and instead said to Lucian, “I’ll leave it to you to handle everything here.”With these words, he once again affirmed Lucian’s position as the new helmsman of Stars

Rita wasn’t a petty girl who would throw a fit over a trivial matter.After hearing Celia’s persuasion, the trace of dissatisfaction on her face vanished, and she humphed at William. “Hmph, I won’t bother holding it against you on Celia’s account. But since you’re clearly close to Celia, you must treat her well in the future. Otherwise, I won’t spare you!”Then she waved her clenched fist at William.William looked at Rita speechlessly.Although Rita had a hostile attitude toward him, she had indeed stood out to protect Celia without hesitation when she thought that Celia was in danger just now.She even repeatedly tried to stop him from taking Celia away, showing that she truly considered Celia her best friend and truly cared about her safety.So William wouldn’t hold it against Rita even if it was for the sake that she was nice to Celia.It was getting late, and he decided to send Rita home together with Celia.It happened that Rita lived in a villa near William’s apartment.William

William knew that she was worried about Rita’s safety, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Rita has been living abroad all along and rarely comes back to Avalon, right?”Celia nodded. “Yes, Rita’s dad sent her abroad when she was at a tender age, and she has been living there since. She rarely comes back to Avalon and only does so once in a while. I got to know her when I did her a favor by chance many years ago, and we eventually became friends.“Over the years, we seldom met, and we usually communicate over the phone or through the internet. I only learned that she’s the daughter of Jacob Syracuse some time ago. But very few people here are aware of her identity. I really wonder who the culprit behind today’s incident is.”William comforted, “Don’t worry. With Jacob Syracuse’s abilities and resources, I’m sure they’ll find out who the real culprit is soon. And he will definitely tighten the security measures to ensure her safety in the future. Today’s incident shouldn’t happen again.”Cel
