Chapter 773 You really don’t understand what I’m saying!
?William never believed in staying friends after a breakup.
Although he and Evelyn had never truly started anything, Alice knew about Evelyn.
If William really continued to treat Evelyn as a friend, even keeping in regular contact, it would be like a thorn in Alice’s side.
In ancient times, men could have multiple wives, and emperors could have many women.
William from that era could accept these norms, but times have changed.
Back then, if a successful man didn’t have several lovers, people might say his wife was jealous.
Similarly, women in ancient times didn’t mind their men having multiple wives, some even took pride in it.
But now, things are different.
William had to consider Alice’s feelings.
A clean break was necessary!
There was no need to remain friends.
“Alright, I understand!” Evelyn nodded, feeling a hint of loss at that moment, which made her realize she might not have truly let go.
If she had really moved on, why would she feel this loss?
“Thank you!” Evelyn suddenly stopped, smiled, and said, “Let’s end it here, we won’t meet again.”
She had many things to thank William for—saving her grandfather in the past, taking care of her, and now, for not giving her a chance.
From that moment of loss, she clearly realized, if William had said they could still be friends in the future, wouldn’t that have given her a chance?
Indeed, this man was still so ruthless!
William turned around, waved his hand, and said, “We shall not meet again!”
…
Samuel watched the situation between William and Evelyn on the big screen, completely baffled.
“What… what’s going on here?” Samuel was utterly confused. “William knows Evelyn too?”
“Man, are they dating or what?”
“Could Evelyn be mesmerized by William’s handsome looks?” Samuel couldn’t figure it out. “And what about that earlier stuff with Ares? What was all that about?”
The only thing that seemed under control was that they hadn’t fought, and no one was hurt.
Samuel was monitoring William at the base when Ares suddenly appeared behind him.
“Samuel, what are you watching?” Ares called out.
Samuel turned around and nodded to Ares, “Hello, President Ares!”
“No need to keep watching, Mr. Johnson isn’t a Mutated creature,” Ares said. “Walker and Amy are probably still in the Doors of Evolution. We should send all our strong fighters in there,there seems to be a situation.”
“Oh?” Samuel asked, “How do you know that?”
Ares replied expressionlessly, “You don’t need to worry about that. As for Mr. Johnson’s identity, it’s not your concern. Just know that he’s not a Mutated creature.”
Samuel was indeed an S-class fighter, but compared to a powerhouse like Ares, he was still much weaker.
If Ares wanted to kill Samuel, he could do it almost instantly, without breaking a sweat.
That was the difference in their strength!
“Mr. Johnson…” Samuel took a deep breath, “You know William from before?”
“Sort of,” Ares said. “You’d better tell the others not to offend Mr. Johnson.”
“Alright! I’ll send a message right now!”
As Samuel was pulling out his phone to compose the message, he saw on the big screen a dark figure suddenly appear and pounce towards William.
“Someone’s making a move,” Samuel’s pupils constricted.
Ares asked calmly, “Who is that?”
“Zed! The top assassin back in the day, now the third-ranked human fighter,” Samuel grew tense.
If William wasn’t a Mutated creature…
What contributions had William made to their base?
William’s work compiling data on Mutated creatures was indispensable.
If Zed killed him, Samuel would probably live with guilt for the rest of his life.
“Ares, please, intervene and save William,” Samuel was beyond caring about pride now. These fighters were here because of him, and the misinformation was reported by him. If William died because of it, he couldn’t escape the blame.
Ares didn’t move an inch and said, “I can’t interfere in this matter!”
Samuel pleaded, “Ares, with your strength, if you go now, you might still save William, or just tell Zed that William isn’t a Mutated creature!”
From the screen, it was visible that William was dodging, managing to evade Zed’s attacks several times.
But in Samuel’s view, with Zed being a top-tier assassin, if he wanted to kill William, William would have no way to escape!
Ares frowned and said, “You really don’t understand what I’m saying!”
…
As an assassin, once ranked first on the assassin leaderboard and now third on the human strength rankings, Zed had his pride.
He actually had little respect for the so-called official data.
The combat power of an assassin can’t simply be explained by strength levels.
One-hit kill!
Defeating higher-ranked opponents was just routine for him.
When he heard that Samuel wanted to gather the top ten ranked individuals to kill a Mutated creature, he couldn’t help but laugh.
A human-shaped Mutated creature?
He had been hiding and observing William since Evelyn arrived.
From the way William walked, it was clear he was completely unguarded. From an assassin’s perspective, this man was full of flaws and weaknesses.
Killing him would be too easy.
Zed was extremely cautious, because the information provided by Samuel made him so.
However, what he hadn’t anticipated was that his meticulously planned strike, a blade crossing space from the shadows, was dodged.
Zed, a master of assassination, had awakened abilities to control time and space after the global anomaly!
Already a top-tier assassin, awakening such abilities only skyrocketed his combat power.
Just now, he had paused time for half a second and crossed space with a sudden slash aimed at decapitation.
He didn’t care what kind of being William was,he didn’t believe that William could survive if his head was severed.
A calculated strike, and William merely stepped back half a step to dodge it, leaving the blade to cut through air.
In that instant, Zed panicked. He could feel that William was not affected by the time stop.
It was at that moment he realized just how terrifying the entity before him was.
He had been rash!
But once the assassination was initiated, there was no stopping. Since the opponent had such strength, escaping without killing William seemed impossible!
Yet William had not made a move. The person trying to kill him must be from the human strength rankings.
If you can’t kill him, just leave already!
Isn’t this guy done yet?
William easily dodged Zed’s twenty-seven attacks, just standing there, showing no intention of striking back.
