The reason William came along this time, apart from Alice’s incessant nagging, was also because of several “Chosen Ones” in this area.
Yesterday, he didn’t rush to eliminate everyone completely.
Such matters, of course, are more interesting when done slowly.
If things go as expected, the ultimate mission of these “Chosen Ones” is to kill William.
However, it’s certain they won’t be able to do it, as the real goal of the person behind this is to have William kill them himself.
When William kills, it also strengthens the power of that thing,that seems to be its real purpose.
Also, anyone close to William who encounters misfortune, increasing William’s negative emotions, would also strengthen the power of that thing. That’s why David’s mission was to forcibly have sexual relations with Lila.
After all, Lila was one of the first people William interacted with after waking up. If David succeeded with Lila, he might, as he fantasized, receive the support of the Carter family, gain more power, wealth, and reach the pinnacle of his life.
But speaking of the person closest to William now, it should be Alice.
The “Chosen Ones” getting close to Alice and choosing the best path to their demise would probably have the best effect.
As soon as they arrived at the outermost gate of the Emerald Lion Guild’s base, they were immediately stopped by the members of the Emerald Lion Guild.
These two members of the Emerald Lion Guild clearly weren’t the same group they saw the day before but were new members who had joined yesterday or today.
Both of them were at the early stage of mid-level Soulmancer.
“What are you three doing here? This is our Emerald Lion Guild’s territory. If you have no business, please leave,” said a young-looking person, his eyes falling on Alice as he spoke.
Steven was about to introduce himself, but before he could speak, William, uncharacteristically, raised his eyebrows and said, “Who do you think you are? Scram! If you annoy me, I’ll just wipe out your Emerald Lion Guild.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the two members’ faces turned extremely sour, and both Alice and Steven stared at William in disbelief.
They were dumbfounded.
Wasn’t it so?
The other party didn’t seem to say anything too severe, but was William stirring up trouble?
“A mere novice Soulmancer, I’ve never seen anyone as arrogant as you,” the person who first spoke looked disdainfully at William.
If Steven had said those words, he wouldn’t have felt anything amiss.
After all, he couldn’t gauge Steven’s strength and thought Steven might indeed be a powerful figure.
But coming from William, it just felt off!
William, who had lived a very long time and played too many roles in his life, now wore arrogance and haughtiness as if it was etched on his face. He raised his eyebrows and smirked, replying coldly, “You have witnessed it,now”
His expression and tone were so dramatic that if he were in a movie, the whole world would owe him an Oscar statuette.
“What do you have to be arrogant about?!” the member of the Emerald Lion Guild retorted disdainfully. Otherwise, it would surely have been a curt “fuck!”, followed by kicking this fool to the ground and brutally stomping on his smug face with the sole of a shoe.
“Dare to fight me!” William once again conveyed through his eyes what arrogance truly meant to the member of the Emerald Lion Guild.
Finally, the guild member couldn’t hold back and reached to draw his sword, only to find he couldn’t.
It wouldn’t come out…
How embarrassing!
Just then, Garen and Aurelius came out from the main gate.
The two Demi-God level big shots were startled.
Thankfully, the sword hadn’t been drawn!
If the sword had been drawn and they had angered the other party, and the Emerald Lion Guild really got decimated, that wouldn’t be fun at all.
“I’m sorry, Master! It’s my fault for not managing our guild members well. Please don’t take it out on these kids,” Garen, upon seeing Alice, immediately bowed in apology.
Although the incident started with William’s provocation, in the Soulmancer world, the strong are revered. Since William was Alice’s secret lover, and although he was useless, it wasn’t wise to offend him.
The two members of the Emerald Lion Guild never expected that their own guild leader and Aurelius would come out to welcome them personally.
Master…
The guild leader was addressing this person as Master?
Could it be that this man, who seemed just a novice Soulmancer, was actually an extraordinary powerhouse?
At this moment, Alice took a deep breath and said with a cold face, “Guild Leader Garen, please ensure your guild members are well-managed.”
As she spoke, Alice felt extremely embarrassed. It was her master who had deliberately stirred up trouble, yet she was asking someone else to keep their guild members in check.
How shameless! 𝑖𝘳𝑎.𝒸ℴ𝘮
The two members of the Emerald Lion Guild were once again astonished…
What was happening?
So, the Master mentioned by their guild leader was this woman.
Then why was this novice Soulmancer acting so arrogantly?
The two members of the Emerald Lion Guild were utterly exasperated!
Alice’s feelings were also extremely complicated at this moment. She couldn’t understand why her master had to create such a scene.
Weren’t they there to negotiate?
Wouldn’t it have been better to have a peaceful and cordial discussion?
But even if William was being reckless, Alice couldn’t very well criticize him.
After this disturbance, Garen and the others led William and his party up the mountain to the guild’s main hall, feeling uneasy all the way.
Garen had already concluded that William was Alice’s secret lover.
A novice Soulmancer daring to threaten to annihilate their Emerald Lion Guild – if this didn’t have the implication of Alice, a super-powerful Soulmancer, behind him, he wouldn’t dare to be so bold no matter how courageous he was!
Also, because of William’s arrogance, Garen and Aurelius became even more convinced that Alice was a powerhouse beyond the Quasi-Deity level.
William’s attitude likely also represented Alice’s stance.
“What business brings you to our Guild?” Garen, having just stolen another glance at Alice, noticed that the bracelet on her wrist also seemed extraordinary.
It appeared to be made from the sinew of some powerful creature…
Alice was doing her best to play the role of a peerless powerhouse. She said indifferently, “Just discuss it with Steven.”
In her heart, Alice kept reminding herself: Contempt!
She must show contempt for the other party!
Thinking about how William usually spoke to her, she decided to use his tone of voice.
Garen felt a chill down his spine, recalling William’s brazen words at the outermost gate of the guild’s base, and now Alice’s current statement.
He could easily deduce that their visit must be for some significant matter.
If they didn’t agree, Alice might indeed annihilate their Guild.
Garen forced a smile on his face and looked at Steven, asking cautiously, “May I know what you would like to discuss?”
A Demi-God level powerhouse, the leader of the Emerald Lion Guild, was acting so subservient in front of Steven – a scenario Steven couldn’t have even imagined before.
There was a time when Steven had visited the Emerald Lion Guild, but only a junior apprentice received him. The guild hadn’t taken the 13th Bureau seriously, thinking that sending someone to greet him was already a generous gesture.
Now, because of William’s arrogant display at the guild’s outermost gate, even a legendary warrior like Garen was frightened.
