Even if the Big Seven got such a glorious name and title, they were merchants at the end of the day. And to any merchant, the risk of starting out a fight and risking damaging their relationship with their big customers was the most foolish thing any would do.
And on top of that, what William took out was the token the old man, Ben, gave before to him. He still held lots of grudges against this old man, never forgot that silly prank he tried to pull on him by giving him this token.
And so, William decided to use this chance and bring little trouble to that old man, venting some of his frustration as he'd also add more pressure to the Big Seven.
"Well…" seeing that the kid who everyone thought would plead for mercy and cry like anyone else in his position, standing erect like a tall mountain, and showing such unexpected token, made everyone here not know what to do or say.
"Go back to your masters," William waved the hand holding the token as if it was nothing to him, "tell them if they wanted to do business with me, they got to show sincerity. And next time, if any of them wants to do such a thing, a price for this insult must be paid upfront. Or else…"
William waved the token again, making sure everyone here remembered its shape and design quite perfectly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Scram!" and just at this moment, Thomas appeared out of his room. This dude seemed to be either sleeping or was aware of what was going on here and decided to wait until William would show up.
This told William a lot about how trickery this dude's mind worked. He wasn't that cold or uncaring about any of what was happening around him. He was like a deadly fox, feigning ignorance and weakness, while not a single thing missed his senses.
William took note of this, and something told him if this youth was guided right, his potential would be limitless, on the condition that he wasn't evil.
"I must bring him on that trip," William was feeling a little bad to bring someone like Thomas and throw him in the middle of danger. But now he realised without throwing this youth in front of danger, he'd not be able to tell his true essence, not see through him.
"We will be coming back."
"You'll be seeing us a lot!"
From the looks over these brutal spirit masters, William could tell this wasn't over yet. But he didn't care about any of that.
Inside the fort, he was untouchable. But he knew they weren't referring to just here, but the areas outside the fort.
He now wanted to purchase that necklace, the one Ro wanted to obtain, more than ever. Even if it was meant for girls to use, he'd not flinch and not use this useful gear thanks to such a silly reason.
If he got a shield that'd protect him from the dark gold spirit masters, then he'd not face any doubt when dealing with these folks again. And with his upcoming and expected to be huge wealth, it'd be easy to purchase dark gold weapons.
Or better… He could start recruiting artisans and let them forge awesome weapons for him and his yet to be recruited teams.
Thinking about that made him miss the glaive he was promised to have from the academy's Forging Department. But the trip there was risky and long, and he had to stay here for a bit longer than he initially expected.
This place was now looking more interesting to him than what he initially thought.
Thinking about establishing his own forging department in his team made him think about his recruitment plan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe initially intended to take things gradually, let his team expand slowly. But now, and after seeing how greedy people sat their eyes on him, he felt it was better to do things faster.
"All would start after that auction," William thought to himself, while watching the invaders move away, retreating after leaving promising and threatening looks.
"Master… I was going to kick them out but…" Trevor came, tried to act cool. But one look from William made this dude drop his useless act and swallow what he wanted to say next.
"You, come with me," William pointed towards Thomas, before turning to Trevor, "go and meet Mark. Tell him everything that happened. And make sure to deliver this message from me over to him."
"The dude we met before? Sure, what message?" Trevor felt much better to go and do something for William, truly missing what Thomas got from the cold vibe coming out from William.
"Tell him that if I didn't get an explanation about how people not living in the hotel, not living on my floor, managed to find the location of my room and threatened me, then this will look bad on the hotel's reputation and name very soon."
"S… Sure," even if Trevor was a slow-witted youth, he felt that something bad was going to happen. He didn't get what William meant or even hinted as a threat towards the owners and managers of this hotel, but Thomas did.
William already saw the guards outside the hotel, saw how special the guests of this hotel were. It wasn't easy to get in here, not to mention go all the way up and find his room.
He got from Jo that no one was able to come to this floor unless he lived in it. And that meant one thing…
"Those damn owners of this place… They wanted to cause me trouble when I'm generously giving them my spirit crystals…" William wasn't soothing with rage inside as Thomas expected, he was totally calm and collected.
In his eyes, this was all nothing. He was going to live in his own turf soon enough. But he'd not let anyone try to touch a hair of his without paying the price for it.
