“Such a successful doctor would decide to become a kept man?” Victoria couldn't quite fathom why William would do such a thing.

She could only attribute to foolishness born out of love which caused her to feel pity for William.

If he had been smart, he would have continued in his career which would ensure that his future remained bright.

Unfortunately, there was no way he could get back the time he'd lost, and so Victoria felt he could only wallow in self-pity.

“Send me a picture of him.” Victoria instinctively said.

If she ever came across the fellow, she would try and see if he wished to have another go at being a doctor.

“Doing so now,” Tanya said.

A moment later, Victoria got the picture and she immediately froze as the person in the picture was quite familiar.

Just then, the emergency room door burst open with two nurses rushing out in a panic.

“Young Miss, there's a huge problem.”

Victoria immediately put her phone away as she inquired. “What's wrong?”

“It's your younger sister, Katie.” One of the nurses said. “She suddenly stopped breathing and her vitals signs are dangerously low. If something isn't done soon, she might die.”

“What!?” Victoria turned pale as she struggled to accept that her sister was on the brink of death.

Just then, Vincent rushed out, preparing to scold the nurses for rushing out the way they did only to freeze as he made eye contact with a livid Victoria.

“Young Miss…”

Victoria silenced him with a tight slap across the cheek, shocking everyone present.

“I thought you said you were the best!... You said you would make sure nothing happened to her!... So what is this I am hearing!... Tell me!”

“Young Miss, it's not as bad as these fools claim it to be. Everything is under control.” Vincent tried to explain only for Victoria to slap him again.

“Shut your mouth!... I knew you were a quack from the moment I laid eyes on you. How dare you put my sister in such a critical condition?”

Vincent felt humiliated as everyone watched Victoria scold him like a child.

Just then, Damian emerged in a bid to soothe Victoria's nerves. “Young Miss.”

“Don't you dare say anything to me!... Because of your lies, my sister is going to die, and I promise you that if that happens, I will not spare you and this quack. Do you understand me?”

“Young miss, please calm down.”

“Calm down?... Did you just say I should calm down?” Victoria glared at Damian causing him to swallow everything else he wished to say.

Just then, Raymond rushed over to whisper something in Damian's ear, causing the old deputy to light up as he glanced to the side, quickly laying eyes on William.

“Young Miss, everything isn't over yet. There's still someone that can save your sister.”

“And you expect me to believe you?” Victoria questioned.

Feeling like something bad was about to happen, Vincent tried to speak up. “Dad…”

“Shut your mouth!” Damian coldly remarked before addressing Victoria. “The person is a famed doctor at our institution. You can look up his title online. He is popularly known as the LifeGiver.”

“Dad, you can't do this.” Vincent protested. “He hasn't worked at our hospital for years. How sure are you that he is skilled enough to reverse the current situation?”

“If I hear you speak again, I will not hesitate to relieve you of your tongue, do you understand what I am saying?” Victoria warned, causing Vincent to back away in fright.

Then, she turned to Damian. “Where is this doctor you are talking about?”

“Well, he is right over…” Damian trailed off only to pause as he realized that William was gone.

“Where did he go?” He asked in confusion only for a nurse to exclaim.

“He's over there.”

Everyone turned towards where she was pointing just in time to discover a man in a surgeon's outfit rushing into the surgery room.

Instinctively, Victoria rushed toward the room along with Damian, Vincent, and Raymond.

***

William couldn't stand by and watch Katie die while Damian and Victoria continued to bicker like kids.

So the moment the nurse had announced that Katie's condition was critical, he immediately made his move, rushing over to the closet to change into appropriate clothing before rushing into the surgery room.

He could explain things later but there was no way he would sit by and watch Katie die, not when he could do something about it.

By the time Victoria and the others arrived at the surgery room door, William had already started the process, his demeanor calm and collected as he worked hard to save Katie's life.

Victoria couldn't even be mad as she instinctively felt like her sister was in safe hands.

“Who is that?” Victoria asked with Damian replying.

“That's the doctor I was talking about, Young Miss. As long as he has taken over, your sister is as good as cured.”

Vincent grew bitter hearing his father praise William in such a manner, further increasing his hatred towards the fellow.

What was so great about him that everyone couldn't stop praising him?... Did they think he was infallible?... Of course not!

He didn't even care about Katie's life as he only wished for William to fail so that everyone would realize that he wasn't as good as they claimed him to be.

  • Third time's a charm

    William stepped out with Zara to welcome Missie aboard Blackbeard's ship. On seeing William, Missie immediately froze, her eyes wide as she stared at him while he met her gaze with a calm look on his face.“Missie!” William called out as he approached. “I had warned you, didn't I?... So why?... Why didn't you listen?”Missie, realizing that the gig was up, dropped all pretenses as she replied. “Fuck you, William Belmont!”William paused, his expression impassive as he stared at her.Missie's heart tightened as she continued. “Did you expect me to do nothing and watch you leave with everything I have worked for!... Of course not!... So don't make it look like I decided to mess with you!”“Excuses. That's all I can hear right now and it is not making your case any better.”Gritting her teeth, Missie asked. “So what now?”“I already told you, Missie. Third time's a charm and it's also your end.”“Don't think I would go down without a fight!”As she said that, she pulled out a gun and tr

  • 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
