Chapter 287  Heartless William

"If I have broken the law, then use the law to punish me." Evelyn sat upright, staring at William, and said, "You barged in here and injured so many of my employees. Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

"What kind of explanation?" Zoey said, "Let's fight it out. Whoever wins gets to decide."

That's the way of the Soulmancer world.

"I won't fight with you!" Evelyn said without even lifting her eyelids, "If you want to kill me, you can do it directly, I won't dodge. But I can assure you, if I die, the global economy will collapse. You can try it if you don't believe me!"

William was starting to admire Evelyn.

If she was just using Soulmancer's power to bully her way through, someone would always be able to discipline her.

But the way she was doing it, even the people from the 13th Bureau had to consider the consequences of acting against her.

Over a hundred half-god-level Underworld warriors spread around the world, if they decided to target rich businessmen or leaders abroad, the people from the 13th Bureau would be helpless.

If Evelyn died at Zoey's hands, those "demigods," uncontrolled, would become even more unrestrained and willful.

Their recklessness could indeed lead to a global economic collapse.

Zoey didn't expect Evelyn to refuse so directly and even use the threat of a global economic collapse against her.

Before she could say another word, her phone rang.

"Steven? What's up?"

"Come back! Let William talk to her!" Steven was really at his wits' end now. Evelyn, this cunning woman, had emerged out of nowhere, leaving him almost clueless.

But their 13th Bureau's technicians, through studying the artifacts replicated by William, had discovered a shocking secret.

"Let William talk to her alone?" Zoey said this while sneaking a glance at William. She was a bit worried. After all, Evelyn's aura had become a bit too powerful, but William had said he had a falling out with Evelyn.

What if Evelyn attacked William? Wouldn't that be the end of it?

"Yes! You go downstairs first, and let William talk to Evelyn." Steven was becoming more certain that if there was a solution to this situation, it probably had to be left to William.

Zoey ended the call and said, "I'll go down first. You talk to her."

Then, turning to Evelyn, she added, "If anything happens to him, I will kill you."

Evelyn smiled without saying a word.

After Zoey left the office, Evelyn slowly stood up. She walked step by step towards William, extended her soft palm hesitantly, and said, "I've become stronger again. Do you think I can kill you now?"

William replied with a smile, "Why don't you try and find out?"

"Forget it, I won't try!" Evelyn said with a light smile, "I'm curious, how do you want to negotiate with me?"

"It's simple!" said William. "Kill all those 'demigods' under your command."

Evelyn's body trembled sharply, staring at William, then forced a relaxed smile, "Even if you're strong, there must be a limit. Over a hundred half-god-level Underworld warriors scattered around the world, it's already impressive if you can find them, let alone kill them all."

"That joke isn't funny at all."

The smile on William's face gradually hardened, and he said coldly, "Where did you get the impression I'm joking?"

Evelyn suddenly felt a terrifying pressure from William, which she thought was impossible!

"I really enjoy my stable life now. You can do what you want, but it would be best if you knew your limits." William had never thought his relationship with Evelyn would come to this.

He still vividly remembered the first time he saw Evelyn in a bar. She had come for a job interview, and on a whim, mistaking her for the reincarnation of Artemis, he approached her and even considered how to pursue her.

But he eventually came to his senses. Even if Evelyn really was Artemis reincarnated, there was no need to be overly infatuated with her.

After all, a person after reincarnation is completely different.

The so-called past life and present life, in his view, were just romantic fantasies. He was never the kind of person to fall deeply in love.

Having gone through countless reincarnations, how many times had he woken up hoping to break free from the past? And how many times had he truly managed to do it?

He was not a person of unrequited love, but he couldn't be as indifferent and ruthless as fate either.

"You… don't you cherish our past?" Evelyn's eyes were moving, shimmering with deep emotion as she looked at William.

"I don't!" William said again, "You are Evelyn, not Morgana!"

Evelyn clenched her silver teeth tightly, unsure whether to blame William for being heartless and unfaithful, having wronged her in their past life and treating her this way now.

"Let the past be the past. It should be severed!" William said before turning to leave. As he opened the door, he added indifferently, "Remember what I said. It's better not to force me to take action."

Over a hundred "demigods" scattered around the globe?

If William wanted to kill them, there were many ways he could do it, even with just a thought.

But these "demigods" were, after all, Hades' Underworld warriors. Having recently spoken with Hades, wiping out all his subordinates seemed a bit harsh.

After William went downstairs, Bella and Lila were still waiting on the first floor.

Seeing William emerge from the elevator, Bella quickly approached him, asking in a somewhat gossipy tone, "William, you're really something. Evelyn isn't your ex-girlfriend, is she?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" William was puzzled by Bella's remark.

However, strictly speaking, Evelyn's past life had indeed shared an unknowingly close relationship with William.

"Your current flame seeking out your ex," Bella said with a sly smile. "You really are something, surrounded by beautiful women. If you weren't so young, I'd seriously consider marrying you."

William grinned, "I remember I've already rejected you."

He recalled that the first time they met, Bella had directly proposed marriage to William, and he had immediately refused.

William didn't care about Bella's feelings.

Bella rolled her eyes at him, "You really know how to talk, don't you?"

"Uh-huh, others praise me for that too," William said. "Next time you have a dinner party, you can call me. Same deal, a thousand dollars to accompany you for a meal."

"Still thinking about that? I have a good friend getting married in a few days. Come with me. I need a date and don't want to be bothered by people I don't like. You'd make a great shield," Bella said with a coy smile. She didn't know when it started, but she actually found talking with William quite interesting.

At least William didn't leer at her chest like other men, nor did he nauseatingly flatter her.

For a woman like her, what she doesn't lack the most are suitors. Compared to those people, William like this instantly seems different.

"Okay, call me then. I need to go now; my boss is waiting outside." William didn't want to waste time there, especially with Lila occasionally sneaking glances at him from not too far away.

As he walked out of the main door, William gave Lila a symbolic smile before leaving. The two hadn't even exchanged formal greetings.
