Chapter 257 William's Backup Plan and Identity
"William, you can't slander me. I was just passing by," Joshua said shamelessly, laughing, his eyes fixed on Mary.
Everything he did tonight was to get Mary and BK Pharmaceuticals!
He invested heavily in bringing Preston on board and wouldn't tolerate any setbacks at this crucial time.
Even if William was a variable, he would eliminate this variable!
"Passing by? How shameless!" William said with extreme disdain.
"Say that again, I dare you!" Joshua said furiously!
When Mary saw Joshua, she understood what was going on and looked at him coldly, with a hint of anger in her eyes!
"Joshua, did you do all this?" Mary angrily questioned. "Why are you doing this?"
"Isn't it all for you and BK Pharmaceuticals?" Joshua shouted.
He completely tore off his mask, revealing the dirty side hidden beneath his suit. He revealed, "Your BK Pharmaceuticals is just a small company in Lindwood City, and you dare to go against the Sanchez family? Sixty percent? Now, I want all the profits from BK Pharmaceuticals! And of course, you!"
To win Mary over and get rid of William, Joshua spent a lot of money, so he couldn't let William leave unscathed.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Preston sitting in the car. This was the source of his confidence!
With such a ruthless fighter present, Joshua felt extremely assured. He was ready to see William kneeling and begging for mercy!
As for Mary, Joshua had longed for her for so long. How could she be hugging and cuddling with a loser like William!
This made him very angry!
William sneered, kicked Jasper away, and swung the knife in his hand towards Joshua's neck!
Joshua was so scared that he kept retreating, his eyes wide open as he shouted, "Preston! Save me!"
But William was too fast. Before Joshua could see what was happening, he felt a chill on his chest. His suit and shirt were cut open, revealing his pale belly!
Joshua was so scared that he fell to the ground, angrily holding his belly and glaring at Preston in the car, shouting, "Kill him for me!"
The car door opened, and Preston stepped out. He was very tall, even taller than William, with a strong build and muscular limbs. The scar on his cheek made him even more intimidating!
His presence brought a chilling aura!
Preston walked step by step, each step seeming to press on everyone's hearts, making the atmosphere suffocating!
A thick killing intent emanated from him, and anyone could feel that Preston had experienced life and death!
He was not on the same level as the thirty or so thugs Jasper had brought!
Jasper, who had struggled to get up from the ground, hid to the side with his underlings. He could tell that Preston was a top-notch master!
Jasper sneered, "You're strong, but this is where it ends!"
William held Mary's soft hand the whole time. Although she was very uneasy, she gradually felt relieved. With him here, everything seemed manageable!
Joshua sneered at William, stood up from the ground, and viciously pointed at William, shouting, "Kill him! Kill him!"
Preston stood two feet in front of William and said, "Either you break your own arms, or I'll do it for you."
He was so arrogant!
But this was his confidence. He was an expert in fighting, a wanted criminal in three countries, undefeated in a hundred consecutive fights!
In his eyes, everyone else was like an ant!
Hearing this, Joshua clenched his fists. He had indeed found the right person!
He couldn't wait for Preston to chop off William's arms!
William tightly held Mary's hand, his eyes sharp. He could see that Preston was very strong, and he was no match for him.
He didn't expect Joshua to bring such a person.
"Mary, I'll hold him off. You go,"
William said, glancing at both ends of the street. Were the reinforcements not here yet?
Mary panicked when she heard this. She tightly grabbed William's arm and asked, "William, what are you going to do?"
But William just smiled brightly, blood-stained, and suddenly pushed Mary away, charging towards Preston!
Preston raised an eyebrow, sneering. With a burst of strength, he shot out like a spring!
Everyone was shocked. Preston was too fast!
They all sneered. With such a master, William was doomed!
Preston simply raised his leg and swept across, hitting William's abdomen. William was thrown out like a rag doll!
William rolled on the ground a few times, his body feeling like it was falling apart.
Joshua and Jasper were thrilled to see this!
William was indeed weak!
Preston was indeed powerful. With just one kick, he sent him flying!
Mary saw William being kicked away and was overwhelmed with worry, tears streaming down her face. She ran over, crying, "Honey, honey! Are you okay?"
William looked at the approaching Mary, feeling both excited and worried, and shouted, "Run! Run!"
However, the next second, Preston picked up a knife from the ground and walked straight towards William, coldly declaring, "I'll send you off."
With that, the knife came down towards William's neck, right in front of Mary's wide-open eyes!
"William!" Mary screamed desperately, losing her footing and falling to the ground, watching helplessly as the blade descended.
Her tears streamed down her face, and her heart ached intensely.
In his final moments, William sat limply on the ground, smiling, looking at the tear-filled Mary who had fallen, mouthing the words, "I... love... you."
At the critical moment!
A deafening sound rang out, and everyone saw a figure fly backward, crashing heavily into the black business car, denting it and setting off a piercing alarm!
Preston rolled to the ground, trembling as he lifted his head. He only managed to say, "A... master," before losing consciousness!
When everyone came to their senses, they saw William still sitting there while Preston, who had attacked him, was now lying by the business car!
It was shocking!
Everything happened too fast!
They gasped in disbelief at the scene before them!
In front of William stood a tall figure, dusty and cold, exuding a terrifying killing intent!
The highly esteemed Preston, in front of this man, couldn't even resist a bit!
William slightly bowed his head and said, "One second later, and I'd be dead."
Benjamin replied, "It took some time dealing with Caleb's fighters."
Meanwhile, Mary had already gotten up from the ground and ran to William's side, finding him very weak, with several knife wounds on his body.
Her eyes were red and filled with tears as she tore off a piece of her dress to bandage William's wounds, crying, "Why are you so foolish, why!"
William smiled and said, "Because you're my wife. I won't let anyone hurt you."
"Mr. Jones, leave the rest to me," Benjamin said coldly, stepping forward with several daggers in his hand.
Joshua was already in a daze, the scene just now playing out vividly before his eyes, leaving him utterly shocked!
The sound just now was as if it had hit his own chest!
With just a simple kick, the man who suddenly appeared had knocked out Preston, the undefeated underground fighter and wanted criminal in three countries!
Jasper was equally shocked, sweating profusely and hiding behind his underlings. He suddenly woke up and shouted sharply, "Run! Get out of here! Run!"
But the daggers in the man's hand had already shot out at high speed, grazing Jasper's crotch and embedding in the marble floor!
"Did I say you could leave?" Benjamin said.
His cold voice made Jasper tremble uncontrollably.
In that instant, Jasper almost thought his penis had been cut off!
Benjamin ignored the stunned Jasper and walked towards Joshua.
Seeing Benjamin walking towards him step by step, Joshua felt as if he was about to die!
He suppressed his fear, gritted his teeth, and stammered, "W-what do you want?"
Benjamin didn't hesitate and kicked him hard in the abdomen!
Joshua screamed in pain, vomiting blood.
Jasper watched in horror, his whole body trembling!
It was terrifying!
William was already formidable, but he had such a master by his side!
Who had he provoked?
Suddenly, Jasper heard the sound of dense footsteps and felt the ground shaking!
From the sound, it seemed there were at least a hundred people!
Looking towards the sound, Jasper saw a large group of men in black suits holding riot batons, running towards them!
In the middle of them, two black Maybachs quickly stopped, and a man in a white suit stepped out briskly.
It was Alan!
Jasper was dumbfounded, not expecting to see Alan here.
At the same time, a strong desire to survive ignited in his heart.
With Alan here, he was saved!
"Alan, I'm here! Save me!" Jasper shouted, sincerely believing that Alan and his men were there to save him.
After all, this was Lindwood City, Alan's territory. If something happened to him, Alan would face the wrath of the entire Eclipse Mafia!
But the next second, Jasper was completely stunned.
Alan hurriedly got out of the car, quickly ran to William, bent over respectfully, and said, "Mr. Jones, I'm sorry I'm late!"
William, supported by Mary, slowly stood up, glanced at Alan and the hundred men behind him, and asked, "Is everything arranged?"
"Mr. Jones, the Southern District's Eclipse Mafia and the Sanchez family have been secretly controlled by our people. They haven't made any rash moves and are awaiting your orders!" Alan said respectfully, exuding a chilling aura!
He thought, 'Damn the Eclipse Mafia for daring to make such a move against William!'
Mary was filled with confusion and shock, watching the scene unfold.
This was Alan, the Underground King of Lindwood City!
And he was treating William with such respect.
Mary was puzzled and shocked, turning to ask, "William, what's going on? Are you hiding something from me?"
William turned, holding Mary's hand, and gently tapped her nose, smiling as he said, "You've always asked who I am, right? I'll tell you, I am Mr. Jones from Imperial City."
