Chapter 6
“Peter Rees”
“Mr., this is the purple card used within our Carroll family. Please keep it safe. With this card, you’ll be able to go anywhere in Glasgow at will. And… I’ve taken the liberty of giving you the Marn Hotel as a gift. I hope you won’t hold it against me.”
“No, but I’m not interested in taking over your restaurant.” Walter William remained as calm as ever.
“Oh, I see. The Marn Hotel is located in an excellent location. It’s also a landmark building on Dingel Financial Street, making it extremely valuable. Many important people in Glasgow choose to hold their banquets here. If you don’t have the time to manage it yourself, I can send someone to do the job for you. As for the money, of course, it’ll be yours. What do you think, Mr.?”
After putting the card away, Walter William didn’t waste any time and turned to leave immediately.
“Won’t you see Mr. off?”
On the way back, Jill Carroll became much more subdued, to the point where she hardly dared to breathe loudly.
“Alright, we’ve arrived.” The car came to a stop in front of the apartment building. Walter William opened the door. “Oh, and remember to tell your father when you get back that your family’s problems aren’t over yet. Go home and break all the mirrors in the house. Burn them all—don’t keep any. The Mirror Demon has existed for so long now; those mirrors have become tainted with evil.”
Waving his hand, Walter William rushed into the hallway before Jill Carroll could even say thank you.
“Walter William?” It was Mrs. Norton who opened the door. She paused for a moment, then said in a mocking tone, “Oh, so you actually remembered to come back! What, were you kicked out by the Carroll family? I told you never to dream of getting close to them!”
“Come in? How dare you even think of entering! Do you deserve it? What kind of trash are you to even set foot in our Norton family’s halls?” Lady Norton’s expression changed instantly. “Our Norton family does not tolerate fools!”
“Walter William is back?” Chad Norton’s voice came from inside the house. “Send him away! He’s been foolish enough to provoke the Carroll family. Don’t drag us into this.”
“Did you hear that? Get lost now!” Mrs. Norton said triumphantly. “Vicky’s taking her noon nap right now. No one’s going to talk to you! Just stay outside…”
“Is there someone in Vicky’s room?”
“How do you know?” Lady Norton was taken aback, then sneered, “So what if I do? I’ve made it clear to you: even if you wretched fool wakes up, Vicky will never be with you again! Only a man like Beck Carmen is good enough for my Vicky!”
“What is this?” Lady Norton saw the purple card stuck to his chest. She snatched it from him. After taking a closer look, she sneered. “Walter William, have you lost your mind from being a vegetative state? You just picked up some random card and pretend it’s a member of the Carroll family’s purple card?”
After mocking him, Lady Norton threw the card back, snorted coldly, and closed the door. “Get lost! Go as far away as you can! Stay away from our Norton family!”
However, the door wouldn’t close. A delicate, fair hand was stuck in the crack, and no matter how hard Mrs. Norton tried, she couldn’t close the door.
“What are you doing, you good-for-nothing! Let go right now!”
Creak… Screech…
“Get out of the way,” Walter William said in a deep voice, a terrifying aura emanating from him.
"You..."
Mrs. Norton was completely terrified. She stood there with her mouth wide open, too scared to say a word. It was as though the man before her wasn’t just a young man, but some kind of terrifying beast!
“What happened?”
Chad Norton also ran out.
Walter William refused to answer and simply walked over to Vicky Norton’s door on his own.
Click… click!
The door handle, made of metal, was as easy to remove as if it were a twisty spiral.
Upon opening the door, Beck Carmen instinctively turned her head.
In bed, Vicky Norton seemed to be asleep. But her upper body was almost completely naked! Her lower body was covered only by a pair of empty pajama pants!
And one of Baker Carmen’s hands rested on Vicky Norton’s smooth, fair shoulders, while the other hand reached into her pajamas, barely missing the sensitive areas!
“I wonder why a conservative person like Vicky would suddenly change so much in personality!”
A raging flame ignited within Walter William’s heart.
“Hey! What the hell are you doing?” Beck Kamen was panicked. He remembered that Walter William was incredibly strong-handed in the bathroom earlier!
“Walter William, calm down! Beck Carmen’s family owns a pharmaceutical factory in Glasgow. You’re no match for them!”
Chad Norton rushed over immediately.
“You put the drug in my drink, didn’t you?”
“I say… it was you who put the poison in her drink, wasn’t it?!” Walter William’s aura grew increasingly terrifying. “Vicky regarded you as her closest friends, yet you used her innocence for your own gain! How dare you call yourselves fathers!”
“Walter William, calm down!”
In a fit of rage, he walked toward Beck Carmen, step by step.
With one step forward, the three of them saw a blur before their eyes. Then, Walter William grabbed Beck Carmen’s left arm with his right hand!
“Walter William! You’re completely lawless! Do you want to go to jail!?”
“Law?” A cold, ruthless smile appeared on Walter William’s lips. Then, he stepped down with force!
Click!
The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible in this small room!
Click!
Another crisp sound!
Beck Kamen’s two legs were brutally broken off!
Severe pain swept through his entire brain. Snot and tears streamed down his face instantly. When had Beck Carmen ever suffered such pain before? He was on the verge of passing out. But when Walter William pressed certain acupoints, Beck Carmen felt his consciousness becoming clearer—and the pain became even more intense!
And that wasn’t all. With two more snaps, Walter William easily broke Beck Carmen’s arms as well. The arms were twisted into an awkward angle and hung limply down, a truly terrifying sight.
Ignoring his screams, Walter William turned around and stared indifferently at the two terrified Norton family members. He said slowly, “I, Walter William, am the law. And this man… is Peter !”
"You... you..."
Dong dong dong!
“I… I’ll go open the door…” Lady Norton was pale as a ghost. As she turned around, her legs gave out, and she almost fell to the ground.
Forcing myself to walk to the door and open it, what greeted my eyes was Jill Carroll’s face.
“Yes, yes… it’s Lord Carroll! Come in quickly! Walter William has gone mad!”
Mrs. Norton seemed to have grasped at a last straw, and said hurriedly.
“Walter William! Young Master Carroll has arrived. Where do you think you can run to? Hurry and kneel down to apologize!” Chad Norton’s heart skipped a beat, and somehow, a seventh shout escaped his lips.
“Apologize? You damn fool… What the hell are you talking about!” Jill Carroll trembled with anger and glared at him fiercely.
