An incredibly shortsighted view
“What are you doing here?” Nicholas questioned William as he took steady steps into the hall.William smirked as he replied. “I doubt I need a reason to visit my company. If anything, I should be the one to ask you what you are doing in my company.”“What drivel are you on about?... You'd best explain yourself before I make you regret stepping into these premises.” William chuckled while shaking his head. “You really are blissfully ignorant. It's amusing to see you trying to figure out if I'm being honest.”“Fine then, you are trying to act smart. Just wait there.” Nicholas turned to Jane. “Get security over here now!”“Yes sir.” Jane immediately left the office to get security while Nicholas took a few more steps, leaving enough room between himself and William, in case the latter knew the situation with the Khans.Nicholas was beyond scared but still wished to salvage the situation and so, he sat down. “Hmm?” William seemed curious to understand his reason for sitting down.“Let's
A series of problematic events
The Lincoln family has Lord Lincoln as patriarch, but due to his old age, he was no longer in charge of most things, with his first son, Aston’s father, Nicholas, taking charge instead.Currently, Nicholas was in his office in a meeting with a few clients when his assistant suddenly rushed in, a lady who went by the name Jane.“Sir, there's an issue.”Nicholas quickly scolded her. “Are you out of your mind?... Can't you see that I'm in an important meeting?... It seems you no longer like your job!”“I'm sorry, sir, but the situation is really serious. I just received a call from the butler at home, he says someone assaulted the young master and dropped him in the middle of the road for everyone to see. The video is currently trending on the Internet.”“What?” Nicholas could hardly believe his ears but that was hardly the end of it as the assistant further reported.“Now, he's in the hospital in a critical condition.”“What!?” Nicholas jumped to his feet at the shocking news. “Who assa
The Lincoln family shall weep!
Zayn, Aaliyah, and Aston glanced toward the origin of the voice to find William standing at the entrance along with the butler.Aston’s expression fell as he realized that he was in trouble.But wasn't William Belmont out of state?... When did he get back and why was he here?In conjunction with the man threatening the Khans with Zara's life, the Lincolns had made sure to suppress any information, ensuring that the Khans didn't inform William about the current situation as they knew it would get complicated if he found out.Now he was here and their attempt to hide things was no longer useful.William glared at Aston causing him to instinctively take a step back.“How dare you?” William questioned coldly as he took steady steps forward. “Do you think I won't dare to end the Lincoln legacy?”“Don't come close to me!” Aston exclaimed in complete fear as he tried to back away. He expected his men to step up and protect him, only to discover that they were all unconscious on the ground,
Troubling times for the Khans
After taking Victoria back home, William returned to his apartment to get some well-deserved rest.The next day, he considered heading to Phoenix but then decided to first check on Zara since it had been a while since he had seen her.The last time they spoke, she had told him that she was going on a trip to meet with prospective business partners. He hadn't gotten any new updates so he decided to check on her.After he'd freshened up and gotten dressed, he left alone as there was no need to go with an entourage.Arriving at his destination, he quickly had a feeling that something was wrong causing him to frown. The first thing that stood out was the fact that there was no one in the compound.The guards, the gardeners, the maids… There was no one around.The manor was emptier than he recalled and it didn't seem like they had left on holiday.The next thing that stood out was the fact that the cars parked in the driveway were all gone.Spotting all this, William made his way to the
A race against time
"You must have grown balls of steel, huh." William didn't bother with a response as he walked with Victoria toward the auctioneer who was grinning as he approached."Where do I pay?" William inquired.The auctioneer replied. "Here." As he spoke, he pulled out a card reader and held it out for William to pay.William took out his black card and immediately swiped it across the card reader.Moments later, it read, transaction approved.Immediately, the guards holding guns in the hall cocked it and aimed them at William, leaving no room for escape.Or at least… it seemed that way.William didn't bother to face them, instead walking forward while ensuring Victoria was lagging behind, he walked forward and claimed the Turtle Shield.By now, the auctioneer had already retreated because within seconds of picking up the cloak, the guards pulled the trigger.William didn't hesitate to release his spiritual energy to form a shield as Victoria screamed out in terror.He ensured his body covere
No need to be afraid
According to the financier, one of the perks of having a golden ticket was being able to get a list of all products available in the Beggars sect. This perk helped to save William a lot of time that would have been spent looking around the market. Seeing his golden ticket, the record keeper was quite courteous, even helping William search for what he required. It didn't take long before the Phoenix Cloak was found. The good news is it was worth William wanted, the bad news was that he had to sit through the auction to get it and what's more, it happened to be the main item of the night which meant several people were bound to be after it. Letting out a sigh, William had no choice but to go after it. So after giving his thanks to the record keeper, he left with Victoria to prepare for the auction. The auction in the Beggars sect was unlike the previous ones William had been to. Those ones were held in extravagant halls with a lot of lighting and servants. Here, it was
