“You had a company?”

There was genuine surprise in Megan's voice, not the performative kind that people deploy to seem interested, but the real kind that arrives before social processing has time to shape it into something more appropriate.

“It is not relevant anymore,” William said.

“It belongs to someone else now. The circumstances were what they were and I have moved past them.” He said it cleanly, without the bitterness that had lived in him for years in the first timeline, and he noticed

    Jefferson was on the verge of passing out, his vision darkening, his body going limp in William's grip, when suddenly William released him.But he did not simply let him go, he slammed him.Slammed him downward with brutal, bone-crushing force, driving Jefferson's body into the concrete surface of the basketball court.The impact was catastrophic.Jefferson's back hit the ground with a sickening thud, the sound echoing across the empty space, and his entire body seemed to compress from the force of it.His eyes went wide, bulging from their sockets, his mouth opening in a silent scream.He could feel it, he could feel something inside him break.His spine, his ribs, something fundamental and essential, something that was never meant to be damaged.He tried to move, tried to lift his arms, tried to turn his head, but nothing responded.His body would not obey.He was paralyzed, frozen in place, unable to do anything but lie there, staring up at the sky, his chest heaving as he struggle

    The words left Jefferson's mouth in a desperate, pleading cry, but William did not react.He did not budge, he did not speak.He simply stood there, his hand still gripping Jefferson's wrist with unrelenting pressure, his eyes locked onto Jefferson's face with a deadly, unwavering gaze.The intensity of that gaze was suffocating.It was not the look of someone who was angry, or even someone who was filled with rage.It was the look of someone who had already made a decision, someone who had crossed a line and had no intention of going back.It was cold, Calculated.Final, Jefferson could feel it.He could feel the weight of that stare pressing down on him, could feel the way his body instinctively recoiled, his muscles tensing, his breath catching in his throat.This was not a game.This was not some petty schoolyard confrontation where words and threats would be enough to resolve things.This was serious, Deadly serious.And Jefferson, for the first time in his life, felt true fear.

    Jefferson stopped mid-step, his body still trembling, his hand still pressed against his bleeding mouth, and he turned around slowly to face William.His expression was a mixture of pain, anger, and confusion, and when he spoke, his voice was thick with blood and distorted by the missing teeth."What the hell are you talking about?" he said, his tone sharp and defensive. "Asking me where the hell I think I am going? I am leaving, of course. What else would I be doing?"He spat more blood onto the ground, his eyes narrowing as he stared at William.William did not respond.He simply stood there, his expression calm, his posture relaxed, his eyes fixed on Jefferson with an intensity that made Jefferson's skin crawl.The silence stretched out, heavy and oppressive, and Jefferson felt his anger rising."Is it because I have decided to go easy on you?" Jefferson shouted, his voice rising in pitch, becoming more frantic. "Is that why you still have the audacity, the guts, to actually ask me

    Jefferson's shout echoed across the empty basketball court, his voice filled with desperation and rage as he watched his friends disappear into the distance.But they did not stop, they did not look back.They did not even hesitate.They ran as quickly as their legs could carry them, their footsteps fading into the distance until they were gone completely, leaving Jefferson alone with William.The silence that followed was heavy, oppressive, broken only by the sound of Jefferson's labored breathing and the faint rustling of wind through the trees surrounding the court.Jefferson slowly turned his head, his bloodied face twisted with a mixture of pain, anger, and defiance, and he looked up at William."So what are you going to do?" he said, his voice distorted and slurred by the blood and missing teeth, but still carrying a note of challenge. "Huh? What do you think you can do? I dare you. I dare you to raise your hand on me again. I dare you."He spat blood onto the ground, his eyes n

    The moment Jefferson's friend shouted, something shifted in the air.The faces of the men standing around William changed.Their expressions hardened, their jaws tightened, and they exchanged quick glances with one another, a silent agreement passing between them.They looked at William, their eyes filled with anger and indignation."How dare you," one of them said, his voice sharp and accusing. "How dare you punch him? How dare you lay your fingers on him?"And then, without waiting for a response, five of them rushed forward at once.They came at William from different angles, their movements coordinated, their intent clear.They were trying to overpower him with sheer numbers, to use their collective strength to bring him down.But it did not work.William moved with a speed and precision that caught them completely off guard.The first one to reach him swung a wild punch, his fist aimed at William's face.William sidestepped easily, his body shifting just enough to avoid the blow,

    Jefferson was in the middle of dribbling the basketball, his movements fluid and casual, when something caught his eye.He stopped abruptly, the ball still bouncing once, twice, before he caught it and held it against his hip.His gaze was fixed on the entrance of the private basketball court, and a slow, deliberate smile began to spread across his face."Wow," he said loudly, his voice carrying across the court with unmistakable amusement. "Look who we literally have here."The moment he spoke, everything stopped.The game that had been in full swing just seconds before came to an immediate halt.The players on the court froze mid-motion, their heads turning in unison toward the entrance.The people sitting on the bench, who had been chatting and laughing, stood up, their conversations dying mid-sentence.The entire atmosphere shifted in an instant, the relaxed, carefree energy replaced by something sharp and tense, something expectant.And there, standing at the entrance, was Willia
