286. The Forbidden Technique
The search for Evelyn Grey continued from morning into afternoon, with the full conglomerate military support in New Spring working overtime.The old master's secretary was a vital pillar in the Miller Conglomerate system and was behind many approvals, both home and abroad, where she was currently. If anything were to happen to the secretary, the hierarchy of power in the conglomerate would surely be destabilized.The military generals in New Spring made sure to keep the news of her disappearance under a tight leash within the city. If this got to the east, there would surely be an outbreak of war within the Miller group that even the old master might not be able to resolve.The seat of the conglomerate secretary was a powerhouse that took instructions directly from the head and might also choose to act independently. It was the closest thing to being the heir to the multi-trillion-dollar conglomerate group.Towards noon, William arrived at Evelyn's place at South Park and was led
285. The Undercover
William had just gotten into his car outside the Sinclair mansion when the butler approached his window."Doctor Miller, Mr. Sinclair asked that you return to see him regarding a matter."He followed the butler back to the manor and met Edward waiting in the empty foyer."Doctor Miller—sorry I had to call you back. I heard you were leaving."William responded, "I came to make sure that Amelia is okay, and she is.""About that, do you mind staying in the manor for a while?" Edward suggested, but there was something about his tone that made William step closer."Is there a matter about Amelia that I don't know?" He had already confirmed that she was in perfect health, and the call had been only a stupid ploy by Ava.Mr. Sinclair hesitated, but he finally said, "I would have remained silent about this, but I know how much you care about my daughter even if my wife refuses to see it. You might have heard already—that troublemaker Gary Marcus is back. The worrying matter is that we can't s
284. The Narrative
"Shane Chain." Marcus stopped walking and turned fully to face his commander, who had his head down because the former commander had been obliterated before his eyes with the forbidden stone for speaking wrongly."Why does that sound familiar?" He stared keenly at the commander, who sucked in a breath of cold air before explaining,"It's the same half-step to Grandmaster who defeated the half-step legion commander Jacob Snow in the death duel. He had the commander crippled and, afterwards, the Snow family mysteriously vanished. No one knows if he was responsible."There was an interesting look on Marcus's face as he nodded slowly. "Is that so? A brazen practitioner who thinks he can act however he likes in my city."He had always wanted to know the master behind the death of his right-hand practitioner Caleb. Now that he was also responsible for the defeat of another high-level practitioner, how could he not be involved?"Lord Marcus, I heard this Shane Chain from the east used to be
283. Lord Marcus
Meanwhile at an unknown location, Gary Marcus made his way into the main chamber of a building where hundreds of his foot soldiers had gathered in several straight lines. A number of them were armed with high-powered rifles, and the others stood alone, unarmed. People might not know, but there were hidden practitioners among them.Marcus made his way to the front of the chamber and raised his hands, laughing wildly. “My brothers, I knew you would all heed my call and be here today. I applaud those of you who left the power-playing and other measly families to rejoin your one and only Lord. Together, we will reclaim this city and make this world ours.”Before Lord Marcus deliberately committed crimes to land in prison, he not only ran the New Spring mafia but also controlled the underground martial arts practitioners and had conducted many dirty businesses.Most of them became rogues after he was imprisoned, and others joined second-rate or even power-playing families because of their
282. The Mischievous Ava Sinclair
The casual look on William’s face transformed into a deep frown as he glared at Ava, but that didn’t stop her from reaffirming her words.“Sister, listen to me—he is cheating on you. I caught him, and I have evidence.”She raised her chin proudly and puffed out her chest as though she had discovered a goldmine.“What are you talking about?” Amelia was naturally confused, thinking her little sister was already playing around. How could she possibly joke about something so sensitive?Ava pulled out her phone and quickly explained to Amelia. “I was at Peakview yesterday for my daily check-up with Doctor Maxwell after the poisoning. Guess who I saw…”She pointed straight at William’s face and almost shouted, “Him. And that third-place eminent beauty, Tracey Wilson. I even hid and made a video.”She turned her phone to Amelia and showed her a video of William hurrying into the hospital elevator with a young woman in his arms. He was carrying her in bridal style.William didn’t need to wa
281. Marcus Is Back
William arrived quite early at Quantumleap the next day and signed off the remaining paperwork regarding the collaboration with the Sinclair shareholding company.Claire received the papers with a bright smile and said, "Boss, the inflow of finance from the Sinclair company has finally stabilized because of our partnership announcement. Now that both parties have signed the contract, the Sinclairs are on their way to becoming the next power-playing family, especially now that the Snow family are no longer in the picture."The Sinclairs of New Spring were always seen as having the potential to become power players, and that was slowly coming into view.Now that the power-playing Snow family had mysteriously vanished without a trace, the power-playing game in this city was about to shift drastically. Many second-rate families and large industrious businesses would fight dirty and claw at any opportunity just to take the Snow family's place as a power player.William didn't mind clearing
