The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Between a rock and a hard place
William swiftly found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place as he was attacked on two fronts.On one end were armed guards, all of whom were cultivators and carried guns loaded with spiritual bullets, and on the other end was Omar, who had decided to launch a final attack in a bid to ensure mutual destruction. William didn't dare to underestimate either of the attacks as he understood that a simple mistake was enough to make a great giant.For him, he couldn't risk dying, not yet… not when there was much to do.And so, he acted with the thought of preservation at the forefront.He swiftly grabbed Omar, evading his attack, and then used him as a shield to avoid the incoming bullets.Omar didn't even get a chance to cry out as he was riddled with holes, turning him into cheese in an instant.And so, he lost his life.William thought the armed guards would stop but he couldn't have been more wrong as they increased their firing rate, completely destroying Omar's body, making sur

Darnell moved through the woods accompanied by 7 of his subordinates, each one armed to the teeth with rifles and cold weapons.He and the rest of those he was with had been given a single directive; kill William Belmont.Though they served as guards of the Khan family, they were actually more killers than guardians.They had been recruited after Zayn's supposed loss to dementia with Omar the reason they were selected.In truth, they were Omar's attempts to slowly erase everything Zayn had done by implanting his own men while also putting those who were against him in their place.Unfortunately, Omar was dead but Darnell didn't much care.To think he was the first person that started shooting the moment he saw William and he didn't stop shooting even after William used Omar as a shield.It was a rather exhilarating experience, and he had to thank William for allowing him to experience it.For that, Darnell, who enjoyed killing targets slowly, decided to end William swiftly.It was his

Victoria was driving towards her home when she suddenly noticed that a strange car was tailing her.At first, she thought she was overthinking things.But it swiftly became clear that she was correct in her assessment as the car continued to trail behind her and what was worse, it had begun to gain on her.Realizing that she was in danger, she didn't hesitate to speed up in a bid to reach her home quickly but that only caused the people tailing her to abandon any notion of stealth as they chased after her aggressively, swiftly catching up to her before she could get very far.Victoria barely managed to remain calm as she understood that if she was caught, she might not escape alive, so she kept on driving, even as the car was close.Just as she turned a corner, the car came too close for comfort and without hesitation, rammed into her car, causing her car to spiral out of control.Victoria screamed in terror the few seconds before the car slammed into a waiting wall, causing the airba

When William arrived, Victoria had already had her wrist broken and her ankle crushed.It was clear that Khalid was trying to torture her before ultimately ending her life.He didn't know when he moved, but he did, and he moved with intense fury in his heart.His spiritual energy was like a rabid dog and his eyes blazed with a righteous anger that was unlike any other. William crossed the distance between him and Khalid with a single step, appearing next to the bastard and preventing him from destroying Victoria's throat.Victoria opened her eyes only to lay eyes on him and despite the pain she was experiencing, she still displayed a joyous expression as she muttered. “You came for me.”The next moment, she passed out, and William moved to support her while Khalid backed away in fright; his eyes widened in terror as he stared at William's exposed back. At the forefront of his mind was how William had somehow managed to breach his defense and approach him undetected.Following that w
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Time to fight
When William entered the hospital, he noticed John standing in a corner along with a burly man whose bulky muscles rippled under his clothes,, and his knuckles were covered with calluses.This man was obviously an experienced fighter.Judging from the somber air he was faced with, William could guess that something had gone wrong as he approached John and the burly man.“William.” John greeted him as he rushed over with some worrying news. “I'm sorry, I was too late. By the time I arrived, the nurses told me that someone had already taken Celia and left.”“I see,” William muttered before glancing at the burly man next to John.He was familiar with the individual.His name was Duncan, and he was John's head of security and was a Stage Six cultivator who focused on bodybuilding.“What do we do now?... I'm tracking her position but it might take some time.” John said only for William to respond.“That won't be necessary.”“Huh?... But why?”“They will send for me soon,” William said and

“What rubbish?... Aren't you just telling him to give up his life?” John exploded, unable to stay silent any longer.It was clear that Jamal was trying to humiliate William before proceeding to kill him.That was the only reason he would ask William not to use attacks above the third stage when the weakest fighter slated to fight him was a fourth-stage cultivator.Jamal snorted. “You can think of it as you please, just know that if you don't agree, then Miss Celia here will be joining my brothers in the afterlife. So what do you say?”“You…”“John!” William exclaimed. John glanced at William. “Big bro, this…”“Don't worry. It's fine.” William said as he got to his feet. “Just settle down, I'll handle this.”“But…”“Trust me.”“...” John hesitated before ultimately nodding.But before he sat down, he glared at Jamal who was still grinning wickedly.Once John was seated, William remarked. “Let's begin.”“Good sport,” Jamal said. “Rough him up, boys!”All his subordinates charged once t
The Abandoned Ex-husband Dominates Dinner plans
“Father, what are you talking about?” Amara asked, feigning a confused expression.Zayn let out a disappointed sigh. “It was simply because you lot were easily corrupted. Your greed was too much for me to handle. I agree, it was my mistake for letting you grow with such disgusting desires, and I take full responsibility. However, this is my way of making amends.”Ahmed and Amara exchanged looks with one another, their expressions swiftly shifting from confused one moment to cold the next.“You should have remained in your dreams, old man.” Ahmed coldly said.Zayn shook his head. “You could have kept on in the family as elders. Why did you have to betray this family!”“Because you forced our hands!... You could have just given the assets to us but you decided to give that little bitch. You expect us to not do anything about that?”“In the years since I've been dreaming, there has been no significant progress. Instead, the company continues to detract from its original objectives.

Celia pursed her lips before ultimately shaking her head. “Not tonight. I have a meeting tonight.”“Huh?... You didn't tell me about any meetings.” Ava replied before asking. “Who are you meeting up with?”“That's not important.”“Oh come on, don't be like that. At least tell your little sister what you got going on.”“Don't stress it, Ava, I'm not telling.”Ava pouted. “No fair, why do you hide things from me?”“Leave, we'll talk later.”Visibly upset, Ava stormed out of the room while Celia let out a sigh.She couldn't let anyone know that she was going to meet with William, after all, her family still despised him.She despised him as well… but, he had saved her life one too many times for her to just ignore it.They had ended things on a bad note, so she felt guilty, which is why she wanted to make up for that with dinner tonight.Hopefully, everything would go just as she planned. ***Lakeside Hotel was situated in an excellent location within Avalon City, bordering the beautifu

Finding the Fang
Uncle Link sneered at William and asked coldly, “If Mr. Belmont was convinced that this Prayer Bead was not the real deal, would you be so kind as to show us the real Dharma Artifacts?”“The real Dharma Artifact?”William glared at him and then said calmly, “The real Dharma Artifacts were things such as the Flying Sword and Dharma Treasures. One could use them to summon clouds and thunder among many other magical powers. This bead can only distract people when they lay the first sight on it. Other than that, it is practically useless,”Uncle Link laughed scornfully and then said, “Are you kidding me? Those are legends; they don’t exist in real life.“But the magical power of this Prayer Bead was real. You had it completely wrong.”“I think Mr. Belmont’s claim is exaggerated.” A mocking expression appeared on Uncle Link’s face.He was just one step away from calling the doctor a liar.“Is that so?” William was unfazed by the accusation.He pointed to deft fingers at the bead and sudden
Going through the Third Lord's collection
William chuckled upon hearing Cecilia's words. “I had no idea that I was interesting enough for a woman of your caliber to do such a deep dive.”“Well, you are,” Cecilia admitted. Aware that William was truly an enigma with much to offer, Cecilia knew for a fact that William was a person she had to befriend.After the two left the hall, they were greeted by an old man.“This is Uncle Link, my Grandpa's right-hand man. He is going to show us the items being put on auction before it starts.” Cecilia said with a smile.“Thank you for the introduction, Missy. This way, please.” The old man was dressed in a sleek and meticulously ironed suit.His tempered and composed demeanor resembled that of a butler from an English Household.” I have heard that Perry had offended our guest, that lad deserves the punishment. ”The old man talked as he led the way, all the while, he didn’t look at William even once.As the most trusted advisor of the Lancaster household, Uncle Link was one of if not the
More than what meets the eye
Without even sparing Zachary a glance, she turned around toward William and said, “Mr. Belmont, the exhibition is about to start. Why don’t you follow me to the pre-show exhibition to go over the items? ”“Very well.” William nodded.William shot Zachary a glance and smiled before he followed Cecilia out of the reception hall.Perry’s legs finally gave in and brought him to the ground.Zachary gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, trying to suppress the fire burning inside of his belly.The last scornful glance that William gave him was a sharp jab at his self-esteem.“Asshole!”He waited until the two were gone before he allowed himself to be seized by anger.He wrenched a half-empty wine glass on the table and smashed it on the floor.“Mr. Zach, please watch your actions.” Another manager who was called to deal with the emergency said with a scowl.Zachary looked around and realized that he had become a laughingstock. He stormed out of the room with the taste of defeat in his mo
A queen from a world of ice
Just as the guards were about to do as Perry had ordered to kick William out, they heard an icy voice rise behind the crowd:“Don’t touch him!”Everyone looked toward the voice, and they saw a beautiful girl with a cold and aloof face walking toward the commotion.The crowd split into two halves as people made way for the girl.The girl was in a beautiful white gown and a pair of stiletto heels.She looked to be one meter and seventy-eight centimeters or above.A sense of pride and dominance emanated from her wild and gleaming eyes, making many less confident men and women lower their heads.It was as if the girl was a queen from a world of ice.“Who is she? How dare she speak up for William?” One of the onlookers asked with disdain.Those who had already recognized the girl were shocked by the onlooker’s daring question.One of them hurried to cover the onlooker’s mouth and said, “Are you crazy? That’s the princess of the Lancaster Family.”“Princess of the Lancaster Family?” The onl
Kick him out
Manager Perry was unfazed by the question. He said calmly, “Because I know Young Master Zach is a good friend of my boss. But I can’t remember who this young gentleman over here is even though I have written all the invitations by myself. May I ask who you are?”“It doesn't matter what his name is.” Zachary snorted. “I really don’t think that he is on your invitation list.”As soon as Zachary fished his words, Victoria’s mind raced in a bid to figure out a way to handle the situation.“I don’t think he has one. He must have snuck in.” An onlooker jeered at William.“I bet you are right! Look at all the garbage that he is wearing. I can’t believe that they let him in.” Another one took a jab at William.“He is in knee-deep trouble! The owner of the Lancaster International Group was not someone he could mess with. Plus, he is on Zachary’s bad terms, too. He is as dead as a doornail.” Someone heaved a sigh.“Sir, please show me your invitation, or else I will have to call security.” Mana
A dramatic development
Darius was taken aback by the news.He knew that Zachary’s short temper would very likely prompt him to start a brawl with William on sight.“Speaking of the devil! Look, isn’t that Zachary?” Jared gasped.The other two looked over toward the entrance, and they saw a brawny young man in a gym suit storm into the event hall, pushing people out of his way as he went.“And so it begins... anyone wants some popcorn?” The dramatic development amused Darius.Even as William and Victoria, along with Zara, were gleefully sampling the ensemble of deserts on the table, a man came over to them with a few large strides.“Vicky, come here for a second, I need to talk to you.”Zachary didn’t even spare William a glance as he fixed his eyes on Victoria.Victoria raised a brow. “First of all, Vicky?... I don't think we've ever been that close. Secondly, what's up?... Why can’t you just tell me here?”“Here?” Zachary scanned around him and then turned to William and Zara, and said with a commanding vo
Preserving his master's destiny
Back in the exhibition hall, William searched through the items on display only to discover that the Dragon Fang on display was a fake.To think that he'd wasted his time trying to look for it. Just as he considered leaving, a suited man approached him and remarked. “Could you please come with me, young master?”Judging from the way the man addressed him, William understood that he had no ill intentions but he was still perplexed as to why the man had approached him.“Where to, exactly?”“The exhibition happening here is only the beginning. There's a second exhibition that will be taking place tomorrow at a private location, and you've been invited.”William furrowed his brows. “Why?”“The Lancasters would appreciate it if you attended and would be more than happy to handle any request you might have for them.”At this point, onlookers had begun to gather, quite curious to figure out what was happening.Upon hearing that the suited man was connected to the Lancasters, they began to m
Until we meet again
According to Cecilia’s instructions, they opened the display case and carefully took out the three-legged cauldron.They then turned it over and revealed the bottom of the cauldron.Cecilia stared at the bottom of the furnace and carefully scrutinized it a few times while the people around them craned their necks to see what was on the bottom.This allowed William to confirm that the cauldron was indeed a replica.“There’s no mark on the bottom of the cauldron,” William reminded kindly.“Mark?”“What mark?”“Never heard of such a thing...”The people standing around hadn’t done much research on antiques, so most of them didn’t understand what exactly William meant.But the Lancasters had built their business empire off of antiques, so Cecilia naturally understood the technical jargon and what William meant.Her gaze fixed on the cauldron.“There really isn’t a mark!” Her expression became rather sullen.But many people around were still confused.William explained kindly, “The so-call
Tired of living
rCecilia’s eyes lit up, and she seemed to be deep in thought. “There’s indeed such a possibility. But how are you so sure that this cauldron is a replica and not the real deal?”Cecilia’s gaze was clear.She wasn’t questioning William but genuinely asking him for guidance.Her attitude immediately took the countless people around them by surprise.Cecilia had behaved like an arrogant, domineering, and spoiled heiress when confronting Donald just now.But she was now facing William with an extremely calm attitude and didn’t lose her temper even when he doubted the authenticity of the antiques at the exhibition.Instead, she was discussing it composedly with him.It was indeed a little strange.William explained a little bit about the history and process of the cloisonné enamelware, which immediately made the entrepreneurs around them cluck their tongues in awe.Although some of them were antique collectors, most of them were focused only on the elegance of the antiques and had never d
