A full on assault
Burke was slightly confused when he saw the elevator ascending from the basement.“What's going on?... Are we expecting someone from the basement?”His subordinates were confused as well, prompting him to take out his communicator. “All units, report your status!”“Third floor, clear!”“Nothing here on the fourth floor!”Each floor reported it's status… all but the basement.Burke yelled. “Basement team!... Do you copy?... What's your status?... Why is the elevator coming up from your end?”Still, no response.At that moment, Burke realized that something was amiss. He bellowed. “We have an intruder!... Quick, surround the elevator. I don't care who comes out, just fire all of your bullets at it.”Immediately after, all of the mercenaries who were guarding the hostages charged toward the elevator with their guns at the ready.They were going to unload all of their bullets the moment the door opened. As the elevator slowly approached their location, Burke stood in place with his brea
A win is a win
As the situation in the hotel reached its climax with gunshots ringing out on each floor, William swiftly made his way to where Ivan was waiting with the Shadows.“I underestimated you.” Ivan admitted with a dark look on his visage.It was clear that he was displeased with his things had turned out.The hostages that he planned on using to force William to give up without fighting back were gone and now, William was standing before him, without a single injury on his person.This was a man that dared to face off against ten thousand men and win.Ivan didn't dare to think he could take him on by himself.“Give up now and I won't have to kill you.” William calmly said.He might have considered killing Ivan before, but that was only if the bastard made the mistake of touching Victoria.Since that hadn't happened, there was no need to end his life immediately.As a high ranking member of the Ghost Army, Ivan would have information, valuable information that he could use to destroy that vi
Aftermath
Ivan looked at William as he breathed heavily, unable to accept his loss.He had planned everything thoroughly yet at the end of the day, he had lost without even causing any damage.“Take him back and find out who it was that helped them with the weapons that they used to threaten the hostages. I want to know everyone that allied themselves with him.”“Yes sir.”William didn't stay behind and left the building to look for Victoria. Outside, the hostages got out of the vehicles and were greeted by their family and friends who had been waiting for them for a long time.“Mom.”“Sis!”There were cries of excitement coming from the hostages and their loved ones as they embraced one another tearfully.All of them could not stop themselves from crying with all the emotions running through them.The hostages had been filled with despair as they were sure that they would meet their maker today.Yet they had managed to return in one piece, making the emotions they felt absolutely indescribabl
Locating the last item
With the Ghost Army Sect's plan dealt with, the other members quickly went into hiding, allowing Avalon and it's denizens some measure of peace. A week after the incident at the hotel, William was on a date with Victoria when he got a call from John. “Boss, I've located another of the four treasures.” “The Turtle Shield?” “Mn, exactly that one.” “And you are certain it's not a replica?” “Absolutely certain.” “Wonderful, send me the location, I'll head there now.” “Understood.” Once the call ended, William seemed rather excited, prompting Victoria to ask. “What is it?” “Found something I've been looking for.” “Oh and here I thought you already found what you were looking for with me.” Victoria teased. William chuckled. “We'll see.” “Oh?... Alright, so where is this thing?” “I should be getting the address for it soon.” “Alright, then, let's go.” “Go where?” William asked. “To pick up this special item of course.” Victoria remarked as she got to her feet. Aware that sh
A cheap scam
It reeked of a ploy and William wasn't about to be made fool of with one. He was hardly in the right frame of mind to tolerate nonsense from anyone, especially one that was trying to pull a fast one over him.Watching Darcy veritably draw the attention of bystanders while claiming he ruined her jade pot that was worth more than 10 million dollars, William restrained the urge to call her out for her bullshit.He'd already messed up once due to his anger, he wasn't about to do so again.Taking a deep breath, William made to speak. "Ma'am, I don't believe you understand that I am not the one at fault for ruining the pot. You walked into me.""Lies!... He is trying to trick us!... Someone tell him to pay up or else I'll…" she left the rest unsaid as numerous bystanders began to speak up."Yeah man, pay up already.""How dare you come in here and make trouble. Apologize and pay up right now!""Pay up or get beaten!" Victoria grew worried seeing as the crowd were incensed, following the w
Golden ticket
"What do you mean we can't pass?" Victoria asked in vague annoyance to the rather rude guard."Did I have water in my mouth?... Exactly what I said!... You can't pass." William furrowed his brows, unwilling to trade words with the annoying figure but knowing he had to."Is it because we have an entry pass?" William inquired. "Hmmph, so you have some common sense after all. Noone is allowed to go past this gate without an entry pass. If you want to pass, purchase one and if you want to access to the auction, then you'll need to purchase a golden ticket.""How much are they?""Hmmph, I doubt he'd be able to afford it darling, why don't you come with me?"William and Victoria shifted their gazes only to find an unknown man, dressed in rather extravagant attire, approaching with a smug grin on his face.Accompanied by two women already, William didn't know why but he had a feeling that what was about to happen would be quite annoying to handle.***Trevor was a member of one of the hidd
No need to be afraid
According to the financier, one of the perks of having a golden ticket was being able to get a list of all products available in the Beggars sect. This perk helped to save William a lot of time that would have been spent looking around the market. Seeing his golden ticket, the record keeper was quite courteous, even helping William search for what he required. It didn't take long before the Phoenix Cloak was found. The good news is it was worth William wanted, the bad news was that he had to sit through the auction to get it and what's more, it happened to be the main item of the night which meant several people were bound to be after it. Letting out a sigh, William had no choice but to go after it. So after giving his thanks to the record keeper, he left with Victoria to prepare for the auction. The auction in the Beggars sect was unlike the previous ones William had been to. Those ones were held in extravagant halls with a lot of lighting and servants. Here, it was
A race against time
"You must have grown balls of steel, huh." William didn't bother with a response as he walked with Victoria toward the auctioneer who was grinning as he approached."Where do I pay?" William inquired.The auctioneer replied. "Here." As he spoke, he pulled out a card reader and held it out for William to pay.William took out his black card and immediately swiped it across the card reader.Moments later, it read, transaction approved.Immediately, the guards holding guns in the hall cocked it and aimed them at William, leaving no room for escape.Or at least… it seemed that way.William didn't bother to face them, instead walking forward while ensuring Victoria was lagging behind, he walked forward and claimed the Turtle Shield.By now, the auctioneer had already retreated because within seconds of picking up the cloak, the guards pulled the trigger.William didn't hesitate to release his spiritual energy to form a shield as Victoria screamed out in terror.He ensured his body covere
Troubling times for the Khans
After taking Victoria back home, William returned to his apartment to get some well-deserved rest.The next day, he considered heading to Phoenix but then decided to first check on Zara since it had been a while since he had seen her.The last time they spoke, she had told him that she was going on a trip to meet with prospective business partners. He hadn't gotten any new updates so he decided to check on her.After he'd freshened up and gotten dressed, he left alone as there was no need to go with an entourage.Arriving at his destination, he quickly had a feeling that something was wrong causing him to frown. The first thing that stood out was the fact that there was no one in the compound.The guards, the gardeners, the maids… There was no one around.The manor was emptier than he recalled and it didn't seem like they had left on holiday.The next thing that stood out was the fact that the cars parked in the driveway were all gone.Spotting all this, William made his way to the
The Lincoln family shall weep!
Zayn, Aaliyah, and Aston glanced toward the origin of the voice to find William standing at the entrance along with the butler.Aston’s expression fell as he realized that he was in trouble.But wasn't William Belmont out of state?... When did he get back and why was he here?In conjunction with the man threatening the Khans with Zara's life, the Lincolns had made sure to suppress any information, ensuring that the Khans didn't inform William about the current situation as they knew it would get complicated if he found out.Now he was here and their attempt to hide things was no longer useful.William glared at Aston causing him to instinctively take a step back.“How dare you?” William questioned coldly as he took steady steps forward. “Do you think I won't dare to end the Lincoln legacy?”“Don't come close to me!” Aston exclaimed in complete fear as he tried to back away. He expected his men to step up and protect him, only to discover that they were all unconscious on the ground,
