Chapter 145 Let Us Fight
Finished
The lobby of Riverasima Residence was filled with guests from the world of business and politics.
William and Leila came to the lobby, and Zachary was welcoming the guests. He froze for a moment when he saw Leila, and he wanted to say something, but William went ahead and patted his shoulder.
“Congratulations, Mr. Frost.”
For some reason, the pat made Zachary restless, and he looked at William. “And you are?”
William took a few steps back and coldly said, “Just here to give you a gift.”
Zachary finally realized what was going on, and he said, “Guards, chase them away.”
His guards charged ahead, trying to subdue William and Leila, but then Zachary started screaming. His bones started to twist and transform, his muscles were contracting, forming balls of flesh on his skin. Then, his face started to slant, and he let out a scream.
The guests were shocked by the change, and then a woman came out. She held Zachary, crying, “Are you alright?”
Leila said, “That’s her. That’s Felicia.”
William flicked his fingers, and Felicia suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter. She laughed and laughed until she wet herself, and her legs were starting to tremble.
The guests couldn’t believe what they were doing, while William took Leila and left. An excited Leila asked. “You did that, didn’t you?”
“Yes. Zachary’s symptoms will last for a month, and he’ll die of exhaustion, while Felicia will laugh until she dies. Well, they’d beg for a quick way out if they know what I have in mind for them.”
Leila was more than satisfied. “They finally got what they deserve.”
They left the residence, and William reserved a room at a nearby hotel, waiting for news. A while later, Winton showed up with the details of the Howe Family. The Howe family had two Divine Realms, and they were powerful in Jazona. They were also related to Frank Wadzinski. Frank’s sister was Daley’s wife, and William frowned. So, if I attack Zachary, I’ll be crossing three Divine Realms at the same time.
Winton said, “Daley should be at the scene.
“Good. Let’s see if he can unravel my trap. I’m going to give you a list. I want you to find out the addresses of Asopus‘ mayor and captain of the Criminal Apprehenders.”
“What do you plan to do with them, boss?” asked Winton.
“These people are Zachary’s allies and guardians. I’d like to visit them. I trust they’ll welcome me warmly, given I’m their superior.”
Ah, so he’s going to make them submit. Winton didn’t say that out loud, however. “Be careful and leave no traces.
“I know.”

Winton went back to investigate matters, while William returned to training. Leila was resting in her room. Time went by, and it was already live. William modified four more sets of movements, and the effects were great. So great, he had forgotten about lunch. Leila kept quiet until he came out.
The phone in the lounge rang, and Leila took the call. The waiter in the lobby said, “Mr. Barrett, one Mr. Howe wishes to see you.”
“Which Mr. Howe?” asked Leila.
“Daley Howe,” said the waiter.
Leila’s heart sank, and she quickly knocked on William’s door. Then William came out. “I assumed Daley’s here?”
Leila nodded. “Is he here for trouble?”
“Doesn’t matter. We’ll see him.” He and Leila came to the reception room. There was a man in the room. He wasn’t tall, and he looked about forty–five years old, but his muscles were taut, and the look in his gaze was sharp.
He then turned around, and he and William sized each other up.
A while later, William asked, “Are you looking for me?”
The man clasped his fist. “Call me Daley. What’s your name, friend?”
“William. And what brings you here today. Mr. Howe?”
Daley said calmly, “I assume you attended Zachary’s wedding?”
“Ah, yes, and I congratulated him. So, how did the wedding go?”
Daley’s face fell. “You attacked a civilian and almost wrecked his body. That’s not a good look.”
William chuckled. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Daley frowned. “Let’s cut to the chase. Why did you do that to him?
“You want to defend him?” William looked at him.
Daley harrumphed. “He’s my sworn brother. His problem is my problem.”
“Very well. Let’s settle this at nine tonight. How does the park across sound?”
You’re not backing off?” A hint of fury flared in Daley’s eyes. “You’d better not regret it.” And Daley left. Guess we’ll settle this with a battle at nightfall
William saw him off and returned to the hotel. He had a simple meal and went back to training. Time went by, and it was already eight.
Winton came back with the addresses of the people William wanted to see. When he was told of the upcoming battle, he got nervous. “Fights at your level are no joking matter. I’ll have to call the hall master.”
William didn’t object to that. “Sure.”

When the hall master of Canan Hall got the news of that battle, he leaped from his chair. “What? He wants to fight Daley? No, you have to stop him!” Noah Boyd roared.
Shocked, Winton handed the phone over to William.
“Hello, hall master.”
Noah held his frustration down. “I know you have powerful allies, but the Howes are not to be trifled with. If you win, you’ll gain nothing but a new enemy. If you lose, you’ll die. This is a losc–lose situation.”
William said, “I didn’t start this fight; he did.”
Just think it through.” Noah slammed the phone down.
Curious, William asked, “Is the hall master part of the Howe Family?”
“No,” said Winton. “But the Howe Family is the biggest family around. If they falter, then the whole cultivation world of Jazona will be plunged into turmoil.”
William said, “So you mean we need families like the Howes to keep the peace?”
Winton nodded. “Yes, and that’s why the nation works with them while keeping a close eye on them at the same time.”
William harrumphed. “I can’t be bothered to give a hoot. If a battle is what he wants, a battle is what he gets.
