A six–foot–five man walked forward and gave William a look of mockery. “This ain’t the place to talk sh*t punk.” 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 man’s leg. To everyone’s surprise, the kick did not land. Instead, the man’s leg hung in mid–air, held by William.
Beads of sweat formed on the man’s forehead. It felt like a steel pincer was holding his leg, and it hurt. He tried to push his leg down, but William didn’t even budge.
“Oh, please, there are at least five openings I can exploit.” William tightened his grip.
The bones in the man’s 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. “Come here.”
The men didn’t move, and the man behind the desk said darkly, “I know you’re a decent fighter, but you’re in Asopus. This isn’t your playground.”
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 men’s 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 hair–raising, and the man behind the desk shouted, “That’s just going too far!”
William said calmly, “You have ten minutes. Call your reinforcements.” After he said that, he ignored the man and approached Leila. Calmly, he said, “Tell me how your brother died.”
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 If anything big were to happen in the village, the clan leader’s orders usually superseded the village chief’s.
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 village’s 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 e–commerce 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 forty–five 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 chief–Zachary 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 Dorian’s side, so he couldn’t 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 didn’t 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 chief’s 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 Dorian’s 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 Dorian’s 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. “Felicia’s the owner of my brother’s company, but the real owners are Zachary and Dumpty.” She pointed at the man. “And this guy is Gregorias Punter. He’s Zachary’s nephew, and he’s a bad, bad man.”
Gregorias shivered. That’s a lie! We had nothing to do with your brother’s death, and he owed us money. I only took you to clear his debt.”
“Bullsh*t Leila stared at him. “My brother had fifteen million in his account when he was released. There’s no way he would have owed you money.”
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.
“Did you make the call?”
Gregorias looked at him like he was a demon. “Please don’t kill me. I didn’t do any of this. It’s all Zachary. I didn’t do anything. I swear….” He was starting to slur because of his injury.
William stared at him. “You made Leila prostitute herself?”
“I didn’t!” Gregorias quickly waved his hands.
William crushed his left knee, causing him to scream.
The bodyguards were so afraid that they didn’t move an inch and just stared at the ground while shivering. Even though Gregorias was their boss, they couldn’t do anything to save him. They just wanted to save
their own skins.

“I’d reconsider my answer if I were you.”
I’m sorry!” Gregorias screamed and cried..

“Good. At least you recognize your mistakes.” 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. “I did nothing, I swear.”
William frowned. “I wasn’t asking you.”
The man shut up, but he was still shivering in fear.
William pointed at another man. “How long have you been working for him?”
“Three years,” said that man with a trembling voice.
“So, you know everything about him?”
“Y–Yes.
“Good, so you must know where Zachary is.”
The man quickly said, “I know. He’s in the county, and he divorced his wife three months ago. He’s going to marry Felicia tomorrow.“–
Wait, what? Oh, so that’s how it is. William mused for a moment before saying, “Tell him I’ll be attending hist wedding.”
After that, he helped Leila to her feet and left the Great Times.
