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
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 the last item.”“The Phoenix Cloak?”“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 she wouldn't take no for an answer,
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
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
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
I'm coming
As someone who had come across several martial encounters, William understood how important it was to think like the enemy.It was best to think that they are smarter than they appear to be than to underestimate them at all.He had seen enough people fall due to underestimating an opponent and he was not about to fall into that same trap.Just then, he heard movement approaching his location and a moment later, two mercenaries with guns stormed into the room.They laid eyes on William the same time he set eyes on them.Silence followed and then, they reacted.“Intruder…”William didn't hesitate to react as he rushed forward and threw a roundhouse kick at them, causing their necks to snap in an instant.Before they could fall over though, he stepped forward and caught them before gently placing them on the ground after which he exited the room.Meanwhile, eight others guarding the basement were heading in William's direction after hearing some minor commotion in that direction.Just as
