“You pray with such fervor. Does G od know you’re a killer?”
“G od is in my heart, William. Even a killer has a conscience on occasion, wouldn’t you agree?” Lone
Wolf retorted with a playful smirk, suddenly darting close.
He was about the same height as William. Suddenly, his face inched William’s.
He expected the confident man before him to flinch.
But William stood his ground, feeling he was childish.
“You still fancy these little games, after all these years?”
“You haven’t noticed? I’ve become more formidable. Aren’t you the least bit impressed?” Lone Wolf
shot back with a hint of pride.
“That Me-3 Pulse Invisibility Cloak is something,” William acknowledged. “Quite the effect.”
“Ah, you recognized it! Our organization’s latest tech. Impressive, isn’t it?”
“Anything from the Kinsman family is powerful.”
“Huh?” Lone Wolf was surprised for a moment.
But his demeanor quickly returned to its usual confidence.
However, the smile on his face faded, and he looked much more serious.
“I wasn’t aware the Kinsmans ventured into tech innovations.”
William’s gaze sharpened, ice forming in his deep-set eyes.
“Times have changed, Lone Wolf. The Kinsmans aren’t the same as they were five years ago. Tread
carefully. This is territory, and don’t lay a finger on my family.”
Despite the gravity of his words, William seemed unfazed, commanding even.

Standing in the chapel, he resembled less a faithful devotee and more an emperor governing his
domain.
“We’re old friends, William. Everything can be negotiated,” Lone Wolf said, “Your presence indicates
you’re still open to our deal. Did you bring the agreement?”
Lone Wolf looked at William, who was exuding a murderous aura, and forced a smile to ease the
tension.
“Olivia. I’ve found her.”
“Oh? How is the beautiful lady? Is she still alive?” Lone Wolf was still smiling calmly, but there was a
sense of disappointment in his heart.
He’d expected William to eventually locate Olivia but was caught off-guard by the speed of it.
He had miscalculated.
“You’ve lost your leverage, you won’t be able to get the share of the Kinsman Group.” William said
coldly. “But perhaps, if you reveal your client, I might consider sparing Titus.”
“Mr. Kinsman, as I’ve mentioned before, my professional integrity is at stake. My client’s identity
remains confidential.”
“In that case, I’m sorry,” William signaled with a casual wave.
The bodyguards outside carried Titus, who was unconscious and pale.
“In the spirit of our old camaraderie, I’m allowing a final farewell between you and Titus.”
Seeing the unconscious and pale Titus, Lone Wolf showed a rare trace of emotion in his

“It’s simple. Name the client, or watch Titus meet his end.
eyes.
“You might not be well-acquainted with Melburgh’s layout,” William continued. “Behind this chapel,
about two miles away, lies a breathtaking cliff. A fall from there, and death is certain.”
Seeing that Lone Wolf was hesitating, William patiently explained the current situation to him.
“If you kill Titus, do you really think I’d let that slide?” Lone Wolf stared at William with bloodthirsty eyes,

“You won’t get the chance. And if you resist, we’ll arrange a lovely reunion for you two.”
As he spoke, archers emerged from the shadows, their iced arrows glistening and aimed at Lone Wolf.
“Do you really believe this handful can stop me?” Lone Wolf taunted.
He exuded an aura of menace, ready to pounce

a cornered predator.
Sadly, before he could bare his fangs, an iced arrow flew in from his right.
Instinctively, he reached out and caught it. A moment later, he effortlessly snapped the special-made
arrow with one hand.
“All this fuss, William? You’ve underestimated me!”
“Really?” William replied, not bothering to argue. Instead, he gave a smirk that held deeper meaning.
That smirk sent chills down Lone Wolf’s spine.
Intuition told him that something was wrong.
“Take him away!”
William said, dismissively signaling his men. Without hesitation, they began dragging Titus away.
“William! You…”
Feeling disregarded, anxiety bubbled up inside Lone Wolf. He was about to object when suddenly, he
noticed his hand going numb.
The feeling of numbness spread rapidly, and soon, his limbs felt like deadweight, unresponsive.
The paralysis reached his heart, making every breath a struggle.
“You cheated, William.” Lone Wolf lost control of his body and knelt on one knee with some difficulty,
barely supporting his body.
His eyes, burning with anger, locked onto William’s.
“You underestimated me,” he spat. “Why would I play fair with someone who dared to hurt my wife?”
Lone Wolf laughed weakly, “Such deep love, William. Does she know? After how you treated her back
then, even if you gave up everything now, she might not care. Why hold such a grudge?”
Lone Wolf felt that his heart was probably about to go numb. Sitting weakly on the ground, Lone Wolf
continued, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
When something happened to the Kinsman family, he was also in Melburgh.
At that time, he had admired William for being so ruthless that he had sacrificed even his family.
But he soon found out that things were not weren’t so black and white.
After Olivia’s death, William was depressed for a long time.
At that time, he looked at William pitifully. He even turned down contracts to kill him.
If he had known earlier, he would have taken them and killed William. He would not have ended up like
this.
Lone Wolf lamented it in his heart.
“Whether Olivia appreciates it or not is her problem,” William declared, “From the moment she
returned, no one can hurt her. Not even me.”
William spoke determined and serious.
“Bold words! If she ever forgives you, expect a gift from me.”
Lone Wolf propped himself up and weakly said.
He didn’t understand love at all.
But for some reason, he was oddly convinced that William really loves Olivia.
He wanted to see what would happen next.
“All right,” William proposed, “Give me the name of the client, and you’ll live.”
“Then just kill me,” Lone Wolf retorted defiantly. “Been a killer for years and never faced death. I just
want to experience
it!”
Lone Wolf resigned himself to his fate and lay on the floor, making up his mind not to cooperate.

“Alright, I’ll fulfill your wish!”
William said without hesitation.
The bodyguards quickly moved to haul Lone Wolf away.
Lone Wolf was exceptionally cooperative. As the bodyguards dragged him past William, he reached
out, gripping William’s
arm.
“Did
you ever find
your son, William, the one who fell off the cliff?”
