A sixâfootâfive man walked forward and gave William a look of mockery. âThis ainât the place to talk sh*t punk.â he roared. Then, he raised his right leg and swung it down with great speed and force.
His companions cheered him on, imagining William getting knocked out from the kick. However, William extended his hand to grab the manâs leg. To everyoneâs surprise, the kick did not land. Instead, the manâs leg hung in midâair, held by William.
Beads of sweat formed on the manâs forehead. It felt like a steel pincer was holding his leg, and it hurt. He tried to push his leg down, but William didnât even budge.
âOh, please, there are at least five openings I can exploit.â William tightened his grip.
The bones in the manâs legs were crushed, and his calf bent at an unnatural angle. He let out a scream, and all color was drained from his face. William held him by his broken leg and easily tossed him across the air. The man slammed into a poker table, shattering it into pieces.
Silence fell upon the room, and the remaining men Leila pointed out took a step back. They felt fear filling their hearts. William stared at them. âCome here.â
The men didnât move, and the man behind the desk said darkly, âI know youâre a decent fighter, but youâre in Asopus. This isnât your playground.â
I beg to differ. William easily closed in on the men and attacked them, but no one saw how he did it. All they heard was a crack, and the menâs knees were crushed. Pain filled their bodies, and they fell to the floor, howling.
William approached them and crushed a few more of their joints. The screams coming from his victims were hairâraising, and the man behind the desk shouted, âThatâs just going too far!â
William said calmly, âYou have ten minutes. Call your reinforcements.â After he said that, he ignored the man and approached Leila. Calmly, he said, âTell me how your brother died.â
The mention of Dorian made Leila tear up, and she was inconsolable. She managed to calm down only after some time and told William the whole story.
The villagers of Jazona were spiritual, in a sense. Every big clan had a leader and a shared ancestral hall.. If anything big were to happen in the village, the clan leaderâs orders usually superseded the village chiefâs.
Dorian grew up in a fishing village, and the villagers made a living by fishing and rearing fish. Dorian was a man of his word and he was kind to his friends, so he had his own followers among the villagers. Five years ago, he worked with the villageâs fish farmer and started a fish farm. There were three hundred households in the village, and the farm was over a hundred thousand acres. In the first year of their business, they made a hundred and fifty million.
Dorian was a born businessman, for he started his eâcommerce shop shortly after that and sold seafood. online. The seafood he sold was easy to cook, so it was very popular. The revenue in the past year alone reached fortyâfive million.
After the villagers got rich, he started a crowdfunding project to build a resort, and it became a tourist spot in Asopus. The resort alone made at least sixty million per year. Everyone in the village respected Dorian. They thought he was a good man; a man they could trust. However, someone hated his guts, and that someone was the village chiefâZachary Frost.

When Dorian first started the fish farm, Zachary not only showed no support, but he also mocked and tried to sabotage the business. However, there were too many villagers on Dorianâs side, so he couldnât openly sabotage Dorian.
Hence, last year, Zachary used his connections to get the auditor to check the accounts. Crowdfunding projects started by the people were far from perfect, so there would surely be inconsistencies in the accounts. Because of that, Dorian was sentenced to three years of jail.
Once Dorian left the company, Zachary conspired with Dumpty Frost, the son of the clan leader, and took over the resort. They also snatched thirty percent of the shares and became rich overnight.
Six months later, Dorian was released from prison. He didnât panic in the face of adversity but hired a legal team in an attempt to take the resort and shares back instead. At the same time, the village chiefâs term was about to end and he planned to join the election.
Zachary and Dumpty did a lot of dirty deeds to obtain their wealth. They were afraid to lose all their money, so they bribed Dorianâs girlfriend and her family. Hence, the moment Dorian was released from prison, Felicia married him. On the third day of his marriage, Dorian went missing, and his body was found in the river a day later. He was already gnawed on by the fish.
Dorian and Leila were orphans. Their parents died when they were young, so Felicia took over all of Dorianâs wealth after he died. When Dorian was fished out of the river, Leila was still mourning for him, but then Felicia tricked her into going somewhere with her. She was then taken to this county and forced to prostitute herself.
William was filled with pure, unadulterated rage, and he was trembling. You died for nothing, my friend.
Leila wiped her tears. âFeliciaâs the owner of my brotherâs company, but the real owners are Zachary and Dumpty.â She pointed at the man. âAnd this guy is Gregorias Punter. Heâs Zacharyâs nephew, and heâs a bad, bad man.â
Gregorias shivered. Thatâs a lie! We had nothing to do with your brotherâs death, and he owed us money. I only took you to clear his debt.â
âBullsh*t Leila stared at him. âMy brother had fifteen million in his account when he was released. Thereâs no way he would have owed you money.â
Gregorias wanted to say something, but William had already walked toward him and given him a slap. The impact sent Gregorias flying. Half of his face was destroyed and his teeth were broken. He screamed and howled and begged for mercy, but William only looked at him coldly.
âDid you make the call?â
Gregorias looked at him like he was a demon. âPlease donât kill me. I didnât do any of this. Itâs all Zachary. I didnât do anything. I swearâ¦.â He was starting to slur because of his injury.
William stared at him. âYou made Leila prostitute herself?â
âI didnât!â Gregorias quickly waved his hands.
William crushed his left knee, causing him to scream.
The bodyguards were so afraid that they didnât move an inch and just stared at the ground while shivering. Even though Gregorias was their boss, they couldnât do anything to save him. They just wanted to save
their own skins.

âGood. At least you recognize your mistakes.â William nodded. He then proceeded to crush Gregorias elbow, knees, calves, arms, and shoulders. He also made sure to leave a little present that would torment Gregorias forever. The man fainted, and William turned his attention to the bodyguards.
The bodyguards shivered, and one of them went down on his knees. âI did nothing, I swear.â
William frowned. âI wasnât asking you.â
The man shut up, but he was still shivering in fear.
William pointed at another man. âHow long have you been working for him?â
âThree years,â said that man with a trembling voice.
âSo, you know everything about him?â
âYâYes.
âGood, so you must know where Zachary is.â
The man quickly said, âI know. Heâs in the county, and he divorced his wife three months ago. Heâs going to marry Felicia tomorrow.ââ
Wait, what? Oh, so thatâs how it is. William mused for a moment before saying, âTell him Iâll be attending hist wedding.â
After that, he helped Leila to her feet and left the Great Times.
