Gaining a lead
The old lady stood frozen in place as she watched the assassins crash to the ground with dull thuds, one after another.All the calmness and confidence she had earlier on had completely vanished into thin air and were instead replaced by downright fear. Ever since they set foot in the field, they had been revered by all and had never missed a single target.No matter how great their opponents were, they had been able to wipe them out without breaking a sweat.She had thought that with the assassins working alongside her, everything would have gone smoothly without any hiccups.Who would have guessed that they’d be defeated in a matter of seconds?They did not even have time to react!What freak of nature was this man standing before her?“Those are the assassins that you’ve been harping on about? Pretty weak, aren’t they?” William shook his head. “Y–y–you… What tactics did you use?” The old lady was so flustered that she stumbled several steps backward.Panic was evident on her face
Learning of a bounty
“Alright, alright, I’ll admit, I’m acquainted with an influential person.” Seeing that he could not hide things any further, William decided to come clean.“Do you remember the man I had dinner with the other night? He’s the owner of Phoenix Corp. Both his power and his status greatly exceed those of Argrave Cavendish. He was the one who helped me out.”“Mr. Stone?” Celia immediately recalled John Stone.“How do you know such a prominent person?” She asked dubiously.“I helped him before, so I guess he’s just repaying me a favor.” William chuckled.“I never would have guessed that you’d be affiliated with such an important person. How did I not know this before?” Celia asked, curious.“These are old-time stories. No point bringing them up.” William shook his head.“Alright then. I will not probe too much into your past. But in the future, please do not act rashly,” Celia warned in all earnestness. “It’s not every day you get favors from people like him. If you bother him too often, Mr
A shocking turn of events
Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.They wondered why Argrave, a powerful figure, would kneel down and apologize to Celia.“We beg for your forgiveness, Ms. Rodriguez!”The rest of the Cavendishs followed suit and kneeled down on the floor.At the sight of that, Celia was stunned, and so was Ava. Even Mrs. Rodriguez, who had been whining until a moment ago, stood there in a trance.They thought the Cavendishs were here to seek revenge. However, it had never occurred to the Rodriguezs that the Cavendishs would behave so humbly all of a sudden.“Ms. Rodriguez, I’m sorry. I thought too highly of myself. Please forgive me!”When Argrave saw that Celia wasn’t making any responses, he began to slap his face like he was crazy, even though his cheeks were already red and swollen.Despite the pain, he dared not stop.Half an hour ago, after almost getting arrested by the special forces, Argrave was frightened out of his wits. He thought he was doomed. His uncle, Terrence, even wanted to ki
Wishful thinking
/Two hours later/Back at the Rodriguez villa, Mrs. Rodriguez was frantically rummaging through the drawers and cabinets to pack up their things.“Celia, quick! Go and get all the jewelry we have in the house! We can’t stay in Avalon anymore. Let’s quickly pack up and flee abroad for the time being. I’ve already bought the flight tickets. We still have some savings and some valuables at home. Those will be enough for us to survive for a while.” Mrs. Rodriguez was on tenterhooks.Celia’s act of rejecting Argrave had definitely put a target on their back.There was no way they could stay in Avalon any longer, so they had to flee and hope that Argrave wouldn't give chase.When Mrs. Rodriguez saw that Celia wasn’t responding to her, she became even more anxious. “Celia! What are you waiting for? Quickly pack your stuff!”“Mom, the matter has yet to reach that extreme. We don’t need to run away.” Celia shook her head.“Don’t you realize how serious the current situation is?” Mrs. Rodriguez
Just a doctor
All the Cavendishs were frightened and turned to look at Terrence.At this moment, Terrence was their backbone!Terrence had no choice but to bite the bullet and get up while forcing himself to stay calm, muster his courage, and put on a forced smile. “Officers, may I ask which unit you’re from? Why... are you suddenly here at the Cavendish residence? Is there something important that you have to handle?”The burly man leading the special forces officers casually glanced at Terrence and said in a loud and clear voice unique to special forces officers, “You don’t need to worry about which unit we’re from. We received a report from an informant that there was a large number of people using restricted firearms in the Cavendish residence. The situation was terrible, and the consequences could have been extremely serious. Now, after our confirmation, we have gathered conclusive evidence against the Cavendishs! All of you are to come back with us for further investigation!”As soon as he sa
Surprise entry
Bang!It sounded as though something large and tall had collapsed and exploded.With the loud sound, the entire floor of the banquet hall and glass began to quake as if an earthquake had occurred.The chandelier on the ceiling swayed, and many of the wine glasses on the dining tables fell and shattered on the ground.“Ah! What’s happening?”“What’s going on? Is it an earthquake? Or an explosion?”“Get some people to hurry outside to take a look!”The guests held their heads with both hands and hid under the tables while shrieking in horror.Some who were near the door even wanted to dash out first.If there was really an earthquake or an explosion at this time, no one would care about whether or not they would offend the Cavendishs because staying alive was the most important!The Cavendishs also hurriedly sent a few security guards to go out and check the situation.But before they could get out, a heavily armed green special forces vehicle crashed right through the entrance of the b
Bearing arms
The guests hiding in the corners of the hall were dumbfounded as they watched the incredible scene in front of them, feeling as though they were watching an exciting action movie!William and John were so fast that it was impossible to distinguish between them.All that the people could see were them shuttling among the crowd of black-cladded guards as the cracking sounds of bones breaking and tables shattering rang out, followed by bursts of heart-rending shrieks.Afterward, the black figures were knocked into the air and fell to the ground.They rolled around and were unable to get up again, losing all their combat strength.The people couldn’t see how terrifying William’s and John’s combat skills were, but the final outcome was obvious to everyone.A thought surged in everyone’s mind—John’s and William’s power was just too horrifying!Ordinary people couldn’t handle them at all!They were definitely experts far beyond Kyle!Everyone in the hall was quiet.Only the sounds of some gu
A special gift
William smiled. “Don’t be in a hurry to reject it. This is a special gift, and I believe you’ll definitely accept it with satisfaction after you see it.”After William said this, John, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of the hall. He was holding something in his hand and dragging it on the ground.Before everyone could see clearly, John waved his hand, and the long black object in his hand flew straight across the hall and landed directly in front of Terrence with a dull thud.As soon as everyone fixed their eyes on what William’s gift was, extremely loud gasps resounded in the hall!It was a person!William actually got someone to bring a person!Terrence frowned.But when he saw the person’s face clearly, he immediately felt a chill and roared hysterically in rage, “Argrave!”“What? Argrave? Is it Argrave Cavendish?”“Oh my god! The person on the ground is actually Argrave Cavendish?”Only then did the crowd understand that the person thrown over as a
Defeated in a single move
In an instant, half of Kyle’s body turned numb, as though a massive electric current had struck him.He was also sent flying by the overwhelming force that was impossible to resist!Kyle’s body slammed against a large marble pillar at the back of the hall.With a loud crack, his spine shattered as he spat out a mouthful of blood that sent the black mask on his face flying away.Kyle’s face was covered in blood, and his body turned limp as he slid down the marble pillar, fell to the ground, and stopped moving.It was dead silent.The silence made everyone’s heart jump.For a whole minute, no one dared to make a sound.With just one punch, William blasted away the Cavendish’s top henchman and sent him crashing into a marble pillar.The impact rendered him motionless and unable to fight anymore.It was simply too terrifying!In particular, those who knew how terrifying Kyle was, as well as the guests of the older generation in the hall, all looked horrified.They almost couldn’t believe
