“Apologies, but this is not for your usage.”“What the hell are you talking about?... If not us, who else would be making use of this many cars?” “Definitely not you.” “How dare you!” The man tried to say more only for several guns to be cocked at the same time, silencing him in an instant.On Black Cross, the words of the terrorists were the law here.Even if a person died, no one would give a fuck about it which meant one had to be very careful so they wouldn't end up as an example for the rest.Meanwhile, William was trying to figure out a way to get to the island center when the leader of the armed men standing guard over the fleet of cars walked over to stand before him.“What's your name?” William raised a brow. “What's it to you?” “It's quite important actually.” The man maintained a cordial tone causing William to consider a possibility.Taking a deep breath, he replied. “Zero.”“It's as the Mistress said, you wouldn't come with your true identity.” The man intoned, causin

Only after William was gone did her second in command enter.“Missie.”“He declined my offer, a stubborn man indeed.” “Do we go after him?” “No, that won't be necessary. We'll spread the news, let the others make the decision.”“Understood.”“And the girl?”“Don't touch her. At least, not yet.” ***Evening quickly came and with it, William knew it was time for the auction.He was worried that Missie would end up harming Zara after the discussion they had.Hopefully she wouldn't dare to harm Zara.William didn't mind if she attacked him directly though he would naturally not allow an attempt on his life go just like that but if even a strand of Zara's hair was missing, then he would not hesitate to destroy everything Missie held dear and that was a promise he intended to keep.Shaking his head to get rid of unnecessary thoughts, he made his way to the hall where the auction was meant to hold only to discover that it was being guarded with only those with tickets allowed entry.Natur

Even a fool could see that this was a blatant attempt at placing a target on his back yet despite this, William remained seated and even seemed relaxed causing many to wonder just what he was made of.Several of those present, especially Old Man Sha had already sent their men to guard the entrances in order to prevent William from leaving but not only did he not leave, he seemed to be preparing to make yet another bid.Just like that, everyone decided to focus on the auction to see what else this bold man would bid on.More items were brought out with Old Man Sha purchasing a few though it was clear he still had designs on the items William had purchased as he continued to stare in William's direction though William ignored him like the wind.Soon enough, the final piece appeared and surprisingly, it was not some big jewelry or anything of that sort.Instead, it was a document.“Ladies and gentlemen, this is a contract that would be signed between any who manages to win the bid for th

Snorting derisively, William didn't even bother with a response as he turned and left.Only after he was gone did Old Man Sha turn his attention to the metallic box and open it to find the object within.However, instead of joy, he was left with a frown as he sensed that these objects were devoid of demonic aura.At this point, they were completely normal items but how come?... He had clearly sensed that they had a demonic aura yet now, they were completely normal.Maybe that was why William had tossed it to him.Since they were ordinary items, they had no use for a powerful figure like him but that also meant that Old Man Sha had no use for them as well.He clicked his tongue in annoyance as he closed the metal box before he ordered the last remaining subordinate to take the metal box and follow him.Meanwhile, William made his way back into the main hall with the contract in his hand.He quickly arrived in the room where Zara was kept.He opened the door and entered inside to find t

The boat stopped moving at a certain point, almost like it was waiting for something.It didn't take long for what it was waiting for to reveal itself.From all indications, it looked like a pirate ship but instead of apprehension, Caleb seemed excited at their arrival.When they finally got close enough, the leader in charge of the pirate ship stepped onto Caleb's yacht with six other pirates.“Hey Blackbeard, got my money?” Caleb remarked.Blackbeard glared at him, causing him to step back in fright. “Do you have the goods?”“Of course. They are in their rooms. I drugged them with enough medicine to knock an elephant out.”“Unfortunately, I don't think that was enough.” A voice suddenly said, causing Caleb to go wide eyed as he glanced back to find William and Zara awake, contrary to his beliefs that they were asleep.“How?”William snorted. “We aren't stupid and you must be foolish if you thought you were fooling anyone with your poor acting.”Caleb naturally felt offended as he la
