Chapter 102 Backed down

Seeing William approach, Thomas stepped forward to help Jayden up and anxiously said, “William, don’t do anything rash!”

“What’s rash about it?” William asked, slightly furrowing his brow. “Didn’t you all ask to discuss things out here? Let’s talk then. How do you want to proceed?”

Thomas turned pale with fear. The power William had displayed was truly terrifying.

He was aware of Gabriel’s strength, but to see William send someone flying with a single punch was horrifying.

Even more terrifying was William’s ability to catch a swinging steel rod with just one hand!

It was genuinely frightening!

Thomas didn’t believe he stood a chance against William. If a fight ensued, he was sure he’d be defeated horribly.

William, standing before Jayden, asked, “What did you want to discuss?”

Jayden slowly got up and took a couple of steps back, nervously laughing, “William, I was just joking around.”

“Joking? Was it funny?” William stared at Jayden, questioning, “What’s the issue between Daniel and Thomas?”

Jayden hesitated for a moment, then quickly said to Thomas, “Thomas, aren’t you going to apologize to Daniel?”

Thomas was already scared out of his wits. He initially thought William only had basic fighting skills but was stunned by his overwhelming power.

He certainly didn’t want to be on the receiving end of one of William’s punches!

“Daniel! I was wrong!” Thomas quickly approached Daniel, continuously apologizing.

Daniel, standing behind William, was in shock!

He knew William was skilled, but he never expected him to be this powerful.

This was beyond just handling ten opponents.

“You realize your mistake?” Daniel smirked, “Now you know how formidable my friend William is?”

Thomas hastily replied, “I know, I know! I was wrong before, Daniel. I apologize.”

The members of Daniel’s group finally let out a sigh of relief. With William’s strength on their side, who would dare to mess with them in the future?

“Let’s leave it at that,” William said, not wanting to drag the confrontation any further. To him, this was just a trivial matter. He was more concerned about Maria.

He had a good impression of Maria. Though they hadn’t interacted much, William respected her.

William remembered telling Maria when he left that she could turn to him if she ever needed help. He always kept his promises.

Thanks to William’s intervention, Daniel had the upper hand this time. After this lesson, Thomas would surely think twice before causing trouble for William.

Wyatt, naturally timid, was relieved William stepped in. The opponents were a group of over ten people, all ruthless. If not for William, they might have been severely hurt.

“After you’ve apologized, we won’t hold a grudge,” Wyatt said, emboldened by William’s presence. “But if you mess with us again, our leader, William, won’t show any mercy.”

“Yes, yes, you’re right, Wyatt!” Thomas was genuinely terrified by William and showed an unusually humble attitude towards Wyatt, nodding in agreement.

Feeling his pride satisfied, Wyatt then turned to Daniel, “Daniel, let’s get going.”

Daniel and Paul weren’t about to prolong the matter either. As long as Thomas and his group admitted their wrongdoing and backed down, they already had the upper hand. Check new 𝒏ovel ch𝒂pters at nov𝒆lbin(.)com

After exchanging brief farewells with William, the trio from the dormitory drove off. Jayden and his group, carrying their injured members, fled in haste.

Within minutes, William was the only one left in the alley. He returned to the bar, where Nicholas had gathered a group of young hooligans. Nicholas was now planning to expand his influence.

William also tried calling Maria, but she didn’t pick up. Nonetheless, he decided to visit her and see if there was any way he could assist.

“Aurora!” William called out, heading straight to her.

Upon seeing William, Aurora hurried over, scrutinizing him from head to toe, and exhaled deeply, “I heard Jayden dragged you into that alley. Did they give you any trouble?”

“No,” replied William, “Do you know where Maria lives?”

“She used to stay at Green Valley Estates. She mentioned she was meeting Caleb today about their divorce. She might still be there. I’ll come with you.” Aurora glanced to the right and whispered while pulling William’s hand, “Joshua is coming. We should leave quickly.”

William stood his ground. He had just taught Joshua’s son, Jayden, a small lesson in the bar. Given the commotion they made, Joshua must be aware. While Joshua hadn’t shown up during the alley confrontation, he probably knew all about it.

“Are you out of your mind? Why aren’t you leaving?” Aurora became frantic. Being cornered by Jayden was one thing, but Joshua was a different story. She believed Joshua would definitely trouble William, and William wouldn’t be able to handle him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine,” assured William with a calm smile, trusting that if Joshua were smart, he’d know what to do.

Sweat trickled down Aurora’s face. William had embarrassed Joshua in public. Given Joshua’s vengeful nature, how could he possibly let that slide?

“Joshua, please forgive William. Let’s just put this behind us.” Unable to persuade William, Aurora sighed and approached Joshua, hoping to plead on William’s behalf and ensure his safety.

Joshua gave Aurora a deep look, holding a bulging briefcase. He stepped up to William, handed him the case, and said, “William, I misjudged you earlier. Let’s forget what happened before. Take this as a token of my goodwill. Feel free to visit for a drink anytime.”

Aurora eyed the briefcase, pondering Joshua’s words…

Could it be filled with money?

Was Joshua really admitting defeat to William?

How could that be?

William accepted the briefcase and nodded, “Alright then.”

With that, he turned and left with Aurora.

Considering the strength William displayed, it made sense that a local heavy like Joshua wouldn’t dare to cross him. Two of Jayden’s best men were taken down by William, what else could he possibly do?

Especially since William was seen with someone like Lila, a well-known heiress, just a few days ago. Coupled with his impressive skills, the thought of it terrified Joshua. It seemed wiser to offer compensation, apologize, and maintain peace.
