William got back into the welfare center only to discover Victoria, Celia, and Ava seated along with Mr. Kingsley.

It seemed to calm them, he had decided to brew them some tea judging from the pleasant smell wafting through the air.

The moment they discovered William, the three ladies got to their feet instantly.

“William!” Victoria and Celia reacted almost at the same time but just as Celia felt like taking a step forward, Victoria crossed the distance and embraced William, catching everyone off guard.

“I was really scared.” She breathed out as she held him tightly causing Celia to glare at her.

William felt warm inside since it had been a while since someone showed such worry for him.

“I'm okay, you don't have to worry.” He said as he patted her back.

“Is the fighting over, Will?” Mr. Kingsley asked.

He was perhaps the only one who never had any doubts that William would resolve the matter; after all, he was well aware of just what William was capable of.

William nodded. “It is and

  • Demon in human form

    Blackbeard chuckled as though he'd already won. “That fool really thought that I'd fight him fairly. Pathetic. I wonder how Missie failed to defeat such a fool.”“Boss, Mistress has sent a message, she is asking if we have dealt with William Belmont.” “Tell her that I have dealt with the fool, so she should make sure that my money is not delayed. I have a rather short temper with regards to finances.” “I'll let her know.” “Good.” Blackbeard remarked and was just about to get back to enjoying his easy victory when he saw someone appear from within his captain quarters.His heart palpitated strongly as he exclaimed. “Impossible!” Blackbeard had encountered many things in his days as a pirate but none as mind boggling as having sunk a ship along with its occupants only for those same occupants to appear on his ship without warning!The first question that came to his mind was how did they survive the boat sinking and the second was how had they gotten on his ship without his knowledg

  • Aboard a sunken ship

    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

  • Leaving the island

    Balling her fists, Missie inquired. “Fine then, what do you want?”“The total profits you made from kidnapping Miss Khan.”“That's impossible.”“Either make it possible or I will not hesitate to ensure your possibilities end today.” William threatened.Missie breathing became uneven as she replied. “Fine then, I'll hand it over.”“Secondly, you and your pirate friends will leave her company alone. Not even a pebble should be taken when you withdraw, understood?”“You are going too far, William Belmont, you are going too far!”“And I will not hesitate to go a thousand miles so either shut up or be prepared to pay the price.” William spat coldly causing Missie to flinch.Who would have thought that William could be so ruthless?When Missie had initially been contacted by Charles, she had only seen profits and nothing else which was why she didn't hesitate to attack Zara.Now, it seemed she would be losing much more than she gained, leaving her no choice but to despise William and Zara.

  • Meeting Missie again

    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 prey becomes the hunter

    They would have already known that William was a rich man.William also didn't discount the fact that Mistress has a hand in them ganging up on him like this.After all, for a bunch of criminals that despised working together, they were looking quite coordinated.“I don't want to hurt you.” William calmly said.The female criminal among them sneered. “It seems you are quite delusional.”“Maybe it's because he was able to push Old Man Sha around that he thinks he is some kind of bigshot. Oi, I'll let you in on a little secret, Old Man Sha is waiting for you outside so don't think that you can walk out of here alive. That Old man is definitely going to use you for one of his weird sacrifices.” Saying this, the criminals burst into laughter, mocking William for being so daring.Did he think that he could do as he pleased just because he had a bit of money?Foolish!In this dark auction hall, no one cares about how much money you had.In fact the less money you spend, the better your cha

  • Winning by a great margin

    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
