{Chapter: 223 Irreconcilable}

Tony, who had briefly managed to shake off William's telekinetic grip through sheer force of will and fury, suddenly felt an overwhelming surge of pressure crash down on his body. The invisible force multiplied in strength, crushing him like an iron vice. His limbs froze mid-motion—paralyzed again. His struggle was rendered futile, like a fly caught in amber.

Across the room, William calmly stood before Pepper, his expression a cocktail of wicked amusement and cold indifference. His fingers lightly traced the curve of her cheek in a deliberate and mocking gesture.

"You both look furious. Absolutely fuming," William said with an icy smile. "I like that look on people."

"Don't touch me! Take your hand off me!" Pepper snapped, struggling, only to realize her body wouldn't obey her commands. Her panic rose, and her voice cracked with a mix of fear and fury.

"William!" Tony's voice broke through the room, filled with unrestrained rage. "I swear to God—I'm going to kill you! You hear me?! I'll tear you apart!"

But his threats fell on deaf ears. William's wicked grin deepened. "You can't even move, Tony. Look at you—raging, powerless, pathetic. But don't worry... this is only the beginning. You'll go mad soon enough."

Without hesitation, William pulled Pepper into his arms and, with twisted satisfaction, crushed his lips against hers in a forceful, uninvited kiss. It was bold, brazen, and utterly repulsive.

Pepper's eyes widened in shock, her entire body trembling. Her teeth were locked by invisible pressure, unable to bite or resist. "Mmmph..." was all she could utter, her face contorted with shame and helpless rage.

Watching the scene unfold before him, Tony's fury reached a boiling point. His entire body quaked with a dangerous mix of grief, humiliation, and unfiltered wrath. His eyes burned red with emotion. "WILLIAM! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU WITH MY OWN HANDS!"

William, completely unfazed, pulled away after what felt like an eternity. Pepper was panting, her lips red and swollen, her expression one of pure humiliation. Her voice trembled as she said, "You'll die a miserable death for this... I swear it."

William licked his lips mockingly and smirked. "Mmm, spicy. Just like your name, Pepper. Fitting, don't you think?"

"YOU BASTARD!" Tony erupted. His body surged forward, shaking violently. The iron mask on his face twisted with strain as he summoned every ounce of strength he had. With a defiant roar, he finally broke free from the mental chains that held him.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

The arc reactor on his chest flared with searing blue light, pulsing like a miniature sun. Without hesitation, a blinding beam of energy launched from his chest, tearing through the air with a deafening shriek as it hurtled toward William.

BOOM!

The unibeam blast stopped inches in front of William, caught in mid-air like a bug in a glass jar. It fizzled, writhing against an invisible force field, unable to move an inch further.

William tilted his head, unfazed. "Struggle all you like. It won't change the outcome. Power gaps like ours can't be bridged by emotion alone. Rage without strength is meaningless."

He flicked his fingers. "Return it."

The unibeam, now under his control, reversed direction. Tony barely managed to dodge in time, jumping to the side as the redirected unibeam obliterated a section of the wall, sending flaming debris across the room.

"WILLIAM!" Tony screamed, fury twisting every muscle in his body. Another blast surged from his palms toward his enemy.

But William was gone in an instant—vanishing like smoke—only to reappear mid-air, directly above Tony. With one foot extended, he came crashing down.

His heel slammed into Tony's back, driving him face-first into the floor. Then another kick. Then another.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

William rained down blow after blow, stomping the genius billionaire into the ground like a nail into wood. "You're angry? Good. It fuels you. But let me remind you... without real strength, your anger is just noise."

Tony groaned, blood seeping through his armor as the relentless stomps pinned him down again.

"Tony!" Pepper cried out, her voice laced with terror and heartbreak.

William glanced over his shoulder at her and chuckled. He waved a hand, and Tony was once again restrained by invisible telekinetic force, his body frozen against the floor.

Then, without breaking stride, William walked back toward Pepper.

"WILLIAM!" Tony roared. "NO!"

William placed one arm casually around Pepper's waist, pulling her close like a prize.

"Don't worry, Tony. I'm taking precious Pepper with me. You don't value her. I promise I'll treat her... very well."

"Let me go! Let me go, you bastard!" Pepper yelled, trying to struggle even though she knew she couldn't move.

"LET HER GO!" Tony shouted with all the strength he could muster, but it was no use.

William turned his head, offering a final, mocking smile.

"Let her go?" William chuckled darkly, glancing back at the furious Tony who was struggling against the invisible force binding him. "Now that... is absolutely impossible. If you ever gain the strength to challenge me, then feel free to come and find me. If you're capable of snatching her back from my hands, then I'll accept that as your victory. But until then—farewell."

With Pepper in his arms, William turned around and calmly walked toward the exit, leaving Tony seething in helpless rage.

"Try not to miss her too much, she's mine now." William added mockingly over his shoulder.

"WILLIAM!!!" Tony roared, the sound echoing like a furious beast as he unleashed his despair into the air.

Outside, waiting in the shadows beyond the wreckage, stood Alice, Ada, and the White Queen. The three women watched the unfolding scene with calm eyes, as if they had anticipated this exact outcome.

"William, you really went in just to snatch someone away," Ada said, folding her arms with a knowing smile.

But William shook his head and answered with a straight face, "Wrong. You think it's just about stealing a woman? No, no—it's far more meaningful than that. This was training. I'm giving Tony a reason to hate, to struggle, to rise. That man has potential, but he's too soft. I'm just giving him a reason to evolve. People like me... are always misunderstood."

Alice walked up and playfully pinched William's cheek. "Is that what you tell yourself at night to sleep peacefully?"

"No," Ada answered before William could, smirking. "It's more like he's developed a defense system—no guilt, no shame. Even nuclear strikes wouldn't penetrate that wall of shamelessness."

"You've already stolen her. Why bother making up all these noble-sounding excuses?" White Queen scoffed. "We all know what kind of person you really are."

"I'm warning you!" Pepper snapped, her voice sharp and furious as she struggled in Alice's grip. "If you don't let me go now, the government will hunt you down. You'll be labeled an international criminal. You will not get away with this!"

Ada tilted her head and chuckled. "William, you really seem to enjoy being hated by beautiful women."

"There's just something thrilling about it," William replied with a wicked grin. "Hate always turns into passion if you know how to play it right."

"You're so twisted," White Queen said, narrowing her eyes. "You actually enjoy forcing women to hate you at first, and then breaking them down until they fall in love with you. It gives you that sick sense of accomplishment, doesn't it? The thrill of the chase, the pride of Conquest. While cuckolding other men."

Alice and Ada exchanged looks, both nodding in agreement. "White Queen nailed it," Ada said with a teasing smile.

"If you think I'll ever fall for you, then you're insane!" Pepper yelled furiously, glaring at William with burning hatred. "I'd rather die than fall in love with a man like you!"

"You sound quite sure of yourself," White Queen responded coolly, "but I doubt that conviction will last. You're clearly in love with Tony, and from what I've seen, he feels the same. But you two never had the courage to take that final step... Now, it seems, that moment has passed forever."

"What are you even talking about?" Pepper screamed, confused and infuriated.

White Queen turned her eyes to William, sighing. "Someone else is going to reap the rewards of what Tony failed to protect."

"You've already stirred up chaos," Alice said, stepping up beside them. "What are you planning to do next? The entire world is watching you. Law enforcement, military, every superhero out there... they're all after you now."

William didn't even blink. Instead, he gazed calmly at the luxurious villa behind them. "I'm going to blow this place sky-high."

"What?!" Pepper shrieked. "Tony's still in there! Are you insane?!"

"If he dies from something like this," William said coldly, "then he never had the qualifications to face me to begin with. Now go—get her to the car."

Alice nodded, gripping Pepper tightly and pulling her away.

As Pepper struggled, screaming and cursing, William's body slowly rose into the air. His hand extended upward, fingers curled slightly as a sphere of fire rapidly formed in his palm. The flames grew, swirling and writhing with power until the fireball reached three meters in diameter, glowing like a miniature sun.

With a flick of his wrist, William hurled it toward the villa.

The explosion was instant and devastating. A thunderous boom tore through the air, shaking the ground beneath them. Flames erupted in all directions as chunks of concrete, steel, and shattered glass soared high into the sky. The massive villa—once worth hundreds of millions—was obliterated within seconds, consumed by a raging inferno.

Far off in the water, half-submerged and barely conscious, Tony watched in horror as his home burned. His heart was pounding. His fists clenched so tightly that blood began to drip from his palms.

His scream echoed through the sea like a wounded beast, "WILLIAM! I swear—I'll never forgive you! NEVER!!! AAAAAAHHH!!!"
