n“William, right? You’ve gotten us into a huge mess. Now they won’t even let us leave the dorm!” Paul sat on the bed as if his parents had just died, saying, “When Ryan comes for you later, don’t drag us into it, we don’t even know you well.”

nCompletely calm, William replied with a smile, “If you really want to leave, I can take you out.”

n“Do you know how many people are out there now? Thomas, the head of the Taekwondo club, is personally blocking the door. How are you going to take us out? With what?” Wyatt was convinced of his own bad luck; he had only met William at the staircase and had a brief chat.

nThis was what they meant by disaster striking out of the blue.

nRyan had targeted William, which was due to him upsetting someone, but what had he done to deserve this?

nThis situation was what they called being caught in the crossfire!

n“The head of the Taekwondo club? Is he tough?” William wasn’t familiar with Taekwondo. ．

nTaekwondo had only been named so in 1955.

nFor many years, William had tried to control his power to the average level of the world; he was as strong as his opponent was. Now, he felt that he couldn’t lower his power any further.

nIn the past, during the wars among gods, it was fine; fighting was somewhat fun. Then came knights and martial arts masters, where simple physical techniques were enough for him to reduce his power.

nUntil the age of firearms, it was still somewhat interesting.

nBut isn’t this a peaceful age?

nIn his view, Taekwondo seemed too elementary.

nDoes that even count as martial arts?

n“You’re asking me if he’s tough?” Wyatt Hill took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “Last time, the captain of the rugby team fought him. The guy was over six feet tall, but half a month has passed, and he’s still lying in the hospital. Can you take a beating with your slim physique?”

nWilliam nodded and said, “I probably can withstand it, but I don’t really want to fight him, it’s too much of a bullying.”

nWyatt pointed at William and said, “Fine! Keep bragging! Crazy bastard! Talking about Lila buying things for you. If she could buy things for you, I would eat this computer screen on the spot.”

nLooking at the computer screen they just put down, William asked seriously, “Can you eat this thing?”

n“Wyatt nearly died of anger right there.

nCan you eat this?

nLooking at William’s serious expression, is this something a normal person would ask?

nWilliam stopped talking. When he came in, he saw Paul playing a game. He sneaked a few peeks and found it very novel.

nIndeed, this era has changed a lot. There are many things to learn anew. Living in the dormitory was the right decision.

nThey waited in the dormitory for about ten minutes.

nRyan returned to the male dormitory building with a group of people, and Lila hadn’t left. She had already sensed that something was wrong.

nThe corridor of the third floor of the male dormitory was crowded with people, indicating a significant event. Currently, there were countless people near the male dormitory.

n“Ryan! What are you doing? I asked you to buy something, and you caused such a commotion?” Lila was nearly driven mad by her brother. This was clearly targeting William. Couldn’t she see that?

nRyan, who had just been acting like a big brother, could only respond with a smile in the face of Lila’s questioning, “What am I doing? I’m just buying things for him. I can’t carry all these things by myself.”

nLila pulled Ryan aside and said earnestly, “I told you, don’t mess with him! Don’t mess with him! Don’t you understand?”

nRyan chuckled and said, “Sis, that guy is probably a suitor arranged by our family. Since you don’t like him, I’m making him back off. Isn’t that a good thing? Even if Grandpa finds out, can he really kill me?”

nHe didn’t know that if his grandfather really found out what he was doing now, even if he didn’t kill him, he would be half dead.

nWilliam was someone even Anthony Carter had to kneel before. His current actions were clearly asking for trouble, and not just for him but for the entire family.

nLila spoke softly, “I think if Grandpa found out, he might really kill you!”

n“Heh! I just don’t believe it! Who is this guy? William Johnson? From the Johnson family in Texas?” Ryan huffed, “Even if he’s from the Johnson family in Texas, that’s nothing special, right?”

n“I don’t know either, don’t ask me. Just make sure you don’t mess with him,” Lila said with furrowed brows. “If you’re not going to deliver it, I will.” And with that, she really seemed ready to march into the male dormitory herself.

n“I’ll deliver!” Ryan hurriedly exclaimed. Let his sister deliver daily necessities to another man in the male dormitory? Even he hadn’t enjoyed such treatment! How could Ryan possibly allow this to happen?

n“Then don’t cause trouble! I’ll be watching from below,” Lila said. Although she didn’t know much about William Johnson’s background – her grandfather hadn’t elaborated – she could sense the level of importance he placed on William Johnson. If Ryan really messed with William, the one who would end up in trouble would surely be Ryan.

n“Alright, alright! Sis, you can rest easy!” Ryan finished speaking, gestured to the crowd behind him, and said, “All of you, follow me upstairs to deliver the items.”

nActually, among the group behind Ryan, there were also those who pursued Lila. Seeing the situation, it was clear that Lila had asked them to deliver the items, and they were quite interested in meeting this person to see what was so extraordinary about him.

nA large group of people trooped up to the male dormitory building. Many spectators had also gathered downstairs to watch the commotion.

nAt that moment, William was still sitting inside the dormitory waiting. Ryan strode up to the door and kicked it open, and a swarm of boys flooded in behind him. He then locked the door.

nRyan saw William as soon as he entered but merely raised his eyebrows. His gaze swept over the four people in the dorm room and he asked, “Which one of you is called William?”

nAll three of William’s dorm mates simultaneously pointed at William.

n“Holy **! It really is you, huh?” Ryan laughed in exasperation, “So it’s true, enemies do cross each other’s paths. So you’re William, huh?”

nWilliam nodded and smiled, “Thank you for delivering the items.”

n“Deliver to your grandpa!” Ryan asked, “Are you from the Johnson family of Texas? I warn you, stay away from my sister. Don’t think that just because it’s arranged at home, it’s settled. If I, Ryan, don’t agree, nobody else’s word counts!”

n“The Johnson family of Texas?” William said, “I’m not from Texas.”

nRyan asked, “Isn’t your dad Adam Johnson?”

nWilliam shook his head, “I think you have misunderstood. I don’t come from a prestigious background, and I’m not the scion of a wealthy family. I’m also not close to your sister.”

nNot from a wealthy family?
