Chapter 309 You Want to Know Who I Am?
Mary suddenly stood up and said coldly, "Mr. Carter, don't you worry that I'll report you to the Chamber of Commerce for conspiring with other directors to undermine local businesses?"
Evander sneered, fleeting malice crossing his eyes as he said, "The Chamber of Commerce? It is full of my people! Ms. Smith, if you know what's good for you, you'd better sign the contract, or don't blame me for acting against you!"
Mary pointed at Evander, furious to the point of explosion!
She had never seen someone so shameless!
William suddenly sighed, pulled Mary behind him, and looked coldly at Evander. "Mr. Carter, what will you do if we refuse?" he asked.
Evander snorted coldly. Just then, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.
Eight bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses flooded in. Each one had a fierce look, and their burly figures would intimidate most people!
Surrounded by eight bodyguards, a middle-aged man with a shiny bald head, slicked-back hair, sunglasses, and a black cape walked in. He had a cigar in his mouth and fingers adorned with jade and diamond rings, exuding an overwhelming aura.
Lucian Pembroke sat on the sofa, legs crossed, and sipped red wine from a glass. After taking a small sip, he looked at Evander with a smile and said, "This wine is good."
The bodyguards had already blocked all the exits of the private room, standing there with a cold and intimidating posture.
Mary, scared, hid behind William and quietly tugged at his clothes.
William frowned, glancing at the eight tough men!
He felt a headache coming on!
Evander, with a beaming smile, said to Lucian, "Mr. Pembroke, once this matter is done, I'll send you as much good wine as you want."
Lucian was initially surprised before erupting into boisterous laughter. Pointing at Evander behind him, he said, "You're the best at handling things."
Evander snickered as he whispered something to Lucian, who then glared at William, shrugged off his cloak, stood up, and circled around him inquiringly. "Are you William?"
William frowned slightly, but before he could reply, he heard Lucian turn around and say indifferently, "Cut off one of his arms."
In an instant, a bodyguard drew a gleaming machete from his waist, rushed towards William, and swung the blade at his arm!
Mary was terrified, her face paling in disbelief at their brazen public violence.
Evander's face showed a hint of pride and malice. If it weren't for Jessica's orders, he would have acted against William long ago!
However, given the urgency of the situation, he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
As long as no one died, Jessica shouldn't blame him.
He looked at William, seemingly anticipating the next scene where an arm would be chopped off, and then William would beg for mercy!
Evander's lips curled into a cold smile, and his eyes brimmed with pride.
William's eyes darkened, his expression turning icy. Without even glancing at the bodyguard wielding the machete, he delivered a fierce kick to the side.
A figure flew out like a rag doll, crashing into a row of tables and chairs, lying on the ground unconscious!
The situation reversed so quickly that Evander's cold smile hadn't even solidified before he was shocked by the scene before him!
Who on earth was William!
A bodyguard was kicked away with only one blow!
Lucian turned around and saw the bodyguard lying unconscious. His expression froze, and his eyes shot out coldness. His gaze towards William finally shifted from contempt to seriousness.
"You court death!" Lucian shouted angrily, waving his hand. The remaining seven bodyguards immediately formed a circle, surrounding William and Mary!
Mary, after all, was a woman. Her body trembled uncontrollably as she hid behind William. He held her soft hand tightly and said gently, "Don't worry. No one can hurt you."
Mary looked at William, her nervous and uneasy heart finally relaxing a bit, and she nodded lightly.
William turned his face, and his previously smiling expression instantly turned icy. His eyes shot out a sharp and murderous aura as he stared at Lucian!
Lucian, the leader of the Lotus Syndicate, one of the top five forces in Sunshine Bay City, suddenly felt a sense of dread, especially when he saw William's gaze sweeping over him like a demon emerging from hell!
He had spent many years in Sunshine Bay City, rising from a street thug to his current position, having weathered countless storms and encountered all kinds of people. The Millers of Sunshine Bay City and figures in Imperial City were the only ones who could instill fear in him. He feared no one else!
But just now, he felt a deep fear within him.
"Anyone who dares to step forward will die!" William said coldly, suddenly exuding a chilling murderous intent!
The seven bodyguards, each a seasoned warrior who had experienced life-threatening battles, could immediately sense that killing intent!
They glanced at each other, and for a moment, none of them dared to take another step forward!
In that moment of hesitation, William glanced sideways at Lucian behind the crowd and said coldly, "Mr. Pembroke? I don't know who you are, but your choice today is very wrong."
Lucian's eyelid twitched, and his eyebrow arched as he shouted, "Beat him to death!"
The intense unease made him make the most direct choice. With years of experience, he knew that if he didn't kill William now, he would face the most severe crisis!
In an instant, the bodyguards launched their attacks again, each one with a fierce look!
William's eyes narrowed, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he struck heavily at the eye socket of one of the attackers!
Under the powerful punch, the man felt as if his head had been hammered!
His whole head buzzed, and his eyes quickly filled with blood!
He tilted his head, his body stiffening as he fell to the ground. It was unclear if he was still alive.
And in that instant, William snatched a dagger from the man's hand!
Then, with a swift motion, he raised his right hand, the blade slicing through the air with a sharp sound!
The next second, another attacker from behind felt a sharp pain in his raised arm!
His arm was pierced by a tremendous force, causing him to let out a painful scream.
At the same time, another man rushed at William, swinging his fist fiercely!
William didn't hesitate, sidestepping and grabbing the man's neck, then lifting his knee for a vicious strike!
With a bone-chilling thud, the man's abdomen took a heavy blow, causing him to vomit clear liquid and pass out with his eyes rolling back!
However, it wasn't over. William grabbed the man by his hair, lifted him up, and threw him out, sending him crashing into a row of wine racks, shattering bottles and mixing wine with blood!
In an instant, Lucian's bodyguards were already half gone!
Lucian's heart pounded, but years of experience told him not to show any fear. He looked at William, maintaining a calm exterior, and asked, "Who are you?"
"You don't know who I am?" William replied coldly, stepping towards him, quickly taking down the remaining bodyguards in the room, then grabbing him by the collar and pinning him against the wall!
At this moment, Lucian, though still maintaining a calm facade, had eyes that betrayed his fear. He glared angrily at William, his face red, gasping for breath, and shouted, "What are you doing? Do you know who I am?"
William chuckled and said, "Then tell me, who are you?"
"I am Lucian! With just a word, I can shake the entire Sunshine Bay City! Treating me like this, you have only one way out—death!" Lucian threatened.
William's eyes widened, and he released his grip, causing Lucian to fall to the ground and cough violently. William casually pointed at the unconscious bodyguards on the floor and said, "These are your best fighters? Don't forget, I'm in charge here now. If I'm not happy, I don't mind having one more person lying on the ground!"
At his words, Lucian, looked around, trembling in fear, a cold sweat breaking out!
He had been in Sunshine Bay City for twenty years and had never been so humiliated!
This was the most disgraceful thing that had happened to him since founding his syndicate!
Eight personal bodyguards, each a good fighter, some even retired soldiers, couldn't last a minute against William!
"Who on earth are you?" Lucian asked.
After all, he was a seasoned leader and quickly regained his composure.
This was not only Lucian's question but also Mary's.
Meanwhile, Mary was trembling slightly, her eyes fixed on William.
She thought, 'William, why are you so powerful? Is it really just about having some money?'
He had beaten the Henderson family's young master and now the people sent by the Carter family.
Was William really not afraid at all?
The Jones Group in Imperial City was nothing in front of the Henderson family.
"William, stop! This will only make things worse!"
Mary anxiously grabbed William, fearing more extreme actions from him.
"Don't worry. I can handle it," William said calmly.
Mary stared intently at William and suddenly asked, "William, are you hiding something from me? Who exactly are you?"
'Are you really just as simple as being the young master of the Jones Group from Imperial City?' Mary thought.
William turned his head, gently tapping Mary's nose, and said, "Want to know? Fine, I'll tell you!"
