William felt a chilly aura spread around the room as Clarion released a very strong energy.
"Answer my questions," William demanded confidently. In the past, he would shiver and run away from such powerful and wealthy people, but now...
He is the wealthiest man on earth! He couldn't be afraid as long as money is involved.
Clarion settled down when William spoke, since he didn't run away after her threat, she began to trust him a little.
"The highest share in this hotel is 40 million dollars, which is 20% of the company. We only accept shares from 5 million and above. If you plan to invest anything less, I'm sorry, we will have to throw you away."
A smile crept on William's face, the price wasn't so big after all.
"Great, I will invest one hundred million dollars."
"One hundred thousand dollars?" Clarion thought she had misheard.
"One hundred million, I want 50% share of this hotel."
Clarion's eyes widened when she heard the amount again.
She sized up William again, he was dressed in a simple long sleeve and black pants not worth up to 100 dollars. The only thing that made him stand out a little was his confidence.
He doesn't look like someone who has one hundred million dollars.
"I would like to pay with fingerprint, the faster the better," he smiled at her.
Clarion nodded her head, but she only believed him a little. She called Julian to bring the Fingerprint Payment Device.
"Fingerprint payment is only used for transactions above ten million, who is the big shot that wants to spend ten million?
I hope he is young, I can build a relationship with him as soon as possible." Julian thought loudly as she ascended the stories through the elevator.
She rushed into Clarion's office, and there were only two people sitting there, Ms.. Clarion herself and her poverty-stricken ex-classmate, William.
"Julian, Mr. William wants to transfer 100 million to the company's account, make sure you enter details correctly," Clarion ordered.
100 Million?!
William is going to do a transaction of 100 million? How is that possible?
How would a poverty-stricken bastard like William, who is only book smart, being out 1 million, not to talk of an impossible amount like one hundred million.
Anyway, in front of Ms.. Clarion, she couldn't be disobedient.
'Let me watch him disgrace himself and get beaten up badly by the security guards.'
"Place your finger here," she brought the device in front of William.
William smiled calmly and placed his finger on the fingerprint sensor, after a small vibration, the screen transformed, and a large green checkmark appeared.
"Successful!!" Julian almost dropped the device when it was confirmed successful, the poverty-stricken bastard she had offended earlier was actually a big shot!

"Let me take a look, are you sure you are seeing right?"
Clarion still didn't believe, only when she saw the confirmation sign did she actually believe.
She stood up, and her look turned respectful towards William, "Mr. William, welcome to a blissful partnership with this magnificent hotel."
Both of them shook hands.
Julian was still standing at the sideline watching with shock, what would be her fate now?
"Mr. William, you look awesome!" She praised, but William ignored her.
"Ms.. Clarion, have you thought about removing some unproductive workers from the hotel? There is one in particular I would like to point out."
Julian started to sweat profusely!
Her life is over!
She is from a lower-class family, her dad is a gambling addict who has made her family fall into large debts that she is currently paying with her salary as a receptionist in this hotel, which is quite huge.
If she lost this opportunity, her life would return to level 0!
"Ah, Mr. William, if there is anyone you deem unworthy, we would throw them out of the hotel at once."
A cold smirk appeared on William's face, "Well, there is one here. She is too disrespectful for someone in her position, she almost sent me away from the very beginning."
"What!! Who the hell is that fool that almost made our company lose someone of your level? Mr. William, sorry for my language, but can you tell me who that person is? We will not only kick them out but make sure they never get any job in Astoria City."
"Well, she is here with us."
Clarion's eyes fell on Julian, "Her?"
"Yes."
Clarion's look turned cold once, "Julian, you ungrateful woman, how dare you?"
"Ma'am, I am sorry, I would never do it again! Mr. William, I am deeply sorry for my behavior, if there is any way you would like me to apologize, I promise I would gladly do it.
If you want me to roll on the ground, I would do it. Even if you want me to warm your bed, I'll obediently do it and serve you well."
"I don't need a bitch like you on my bed," William warned sternly, "Clarion, just fire her and make her learn a lesson."
Julian's eyes became red, and tears began to fall.
Her life has shattered in front of her just by sinning against William, whom she tagged a loser.
Back in high school, he wore just one shoe, he was very poor and was mostly bullied.
He didn't seem like someone from a big family, as he would even do homework for others for small money.
"William, please, for the sake of old times, forgive me."
Clarion, who had this, was shocked.
"You didn't think about old times when you insulted me earlier, anyway, you should leave now," William stated calmly.
He was aware of Julian's bad side since high school as she would go around spreading false rumors to make him lose face.
"Please, William.
Don't kick me out, my family needs me," She kept pleading.
Clarion, who has had enough, called the security to come take her out.
Now she was alone with the biggest shareholder of the hotel.
"Mr. William, we will make an official announcement tonight.
If there are any changes you want, please inform me so I can relay them to the higher ups."

The world had changed, but it was slowly mending. The scars left by the apocalypse were deep, and the memories of those harrowing days would never truly fade, but humanity was resilient. Two weeks had passed since the hunters had emerged victorious from the Death Tower, and in that short time, the earth had already begun to heal.The sky was a clear blue, the clouds soft and white, drifting peacefully above a world that had been plunged into darkness for so long. The air, once thick with the stench of decay and the virus that had plagued humanity, was now clean and fresh, a reminder of the life that had been restored. Birds, absent during the apocalypse, had returned, their songs filling the air with a sense of normalcy that had been absent for far too long.The government, once crippled by the chaos, had reestablished itself. Leaders who had survived the ordeal stepped forward, determined to rebuild the world that had been nearly destroyed. They worked tirelessly, organizing effo

William blinked as the light surrounding him began to fade, the familiar, comforting warmth of reality returning to him.The oppressive darkness and twisted landscape were gone, replaced by the cool air and the solid ground beneath his feet.He felt the weight of exhaustion settle over him, but with it came a profound sense of relief. He had won.As his vision cleared, William found himself standing at the entrance of the Death Tower, the same place where their perilous journey had begun. He wasn’t alone. Around him, the surviving hunters appeared, emerging from their own battles, their faces a mixture of disbelief, exhaustion, and profound relief.They were fewer in number—much fewer. What had once been a group of sixty had been reduced to a small, ragged handful. They looked at each other, their eyes wide with surprise and then, slowly, with growing joy as they realized what had happened. They had survived. They had made it out alive.Carson was the first to speak, his voice hoars

William stared at the figure before him, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the twisted reflection standing just a few paces away. The smirk on the doppelganger's face was chilling, filled with an arrogance and darkness that William recognized but had never embraced himself. This was not just a reflection; it was something far more sinister. "Who are you?" William demanded, his voice steady, though the unease gnawed at him. "Why do you look like me?" The doppelganger tilted its head slightly, the smirk widening. "I am the Dark One," it said, its voice a distorted echo of William's own. "The force behind the apocalypse, the one who brought chaos and ruin to your world." William’s eyes widened in shock, and then narrowed in anger. "You... You’re the one who unleashed the zombies, who turned the world into a living nightmare?" His grip tightened on his sword, the blade beginning to glow faintly with the power of his blood magic. "Why? Why would you do something so monstrous?

After venturing into the portal, the fate of all the hunters were left in their own hands. Each of them were sent to a new world to face a different challenge. A large numbers of the hunters died the moment they appeared!Some fought with their last bits of strengths, the zeal to survive pushing them further. Nevertheless most of them were unable to wrestle against their own fate. Some like Carson and Gregor survived. A lot faced unfortunate deaths, their fates ended! This was the job of the death tower after all. ....Mark found himself standing in a desolate wasteland, the ground cracked and barren, with jagged rocks jutting out of the earth like broken teeth. The sky above was a swirling mass of dark clouds, and the air was thick with the smell of sulfur. There was no sign of life, no movement, only the oppressive silence of a world that had been long abandoned."Where am I?" Mark muttered to himself, his hand instinctively reaching for the hilt of his sword. He looked aroun

Gregor awoke to a world of fire and smoke. The ground beneath him was hot, the air thick with ash and the smell of burning flesh. He groaned as he pushed himself to his feet, his body aching from the strain of the previous battles. But as he looked around, he realized that he was alone.“Carson? William?” he called out, but his voice was swallowed by the roar of the flames that surrounded him.He was standing in the middle of a volcanic wasteland, the ground cracked and scorched, with rivers of molten lava flowing through the fissures. The sky above was a dark, stormy gray, with ash and embers swirling in the air like a deadly blizzard. In the distance, he could see massive volcanic peaks, their slopes glowing with the intense heat of the lava flows.There was no sign of his comrades, no trace of the others who had fought by his side. Gregor clenched his fists, his mind racing as he tried to make sense of the situation. “Where am I? What is this place?”But there was no time for a

As the hunters leaped into the light, they felt a sudden, jarring sensation as if the very fabric of reality had shifted around them. The blinding brightness enveloped them, and for a moment, it felt as though they were floating in an endless void. But then, just as quickly, the sensation ended, and they found themselves standing on solid ground once more.The light receded, and with it, the warmth that had surrounded them. Each of them opened their eyes to a new reality—one that was far from the serene landscape they had glimpsed before. Instead, they were plunged into separate worlds, each one a twisted, chaotic reflection of the challenges they had already faced. And worst of all, they were alone.Carson blinked, trying to make sense of his surroundings. He was standing in a dense forest, but it was unlike any forest he had ever seen. The trees were gnarled and twisted, their branches clawing at the sky like skeletal fingers. The air was thick with the stench of decay, and the
