Chapter 750 I'm quite interested in this William myself...
"Samuel, where are you moving to?"
A big-bearded man next door saw Samuel moving and looked at him curiously. "You're not planning to run away, are you?"
"Run away? I'm moving into your place!" Samuel shot a glance at the big-bearded man, pushed past him with his suitcase, and said, "Move over, I'm borrowing your couch."
The big-bearded man's eyes bulged in surprise and he exclaimed, "What the hell, why are you moving into my place? Did you even ask me?"
"Do I need to ask to move into your place? I've crashed on your couch before!" Samuel retorted, already stepping inside.
The big-bearded man hurriedly followed him in, leaving the door open as he asked, "What's going on here? Who are these three young people?"
Samuel giving up his place for someone else meant these three young people must be extraordinary.
"Ever heard of Amy?" Samuel said, "The girl with the sword."
"Oh, I know her." The big-bearded man glanced back, closed the door, and asked in a low voice, "Did you poach her from the New York base? Is there some big move happening? Bringing over such strong people."
"You think too highly of me. Could I really poach Amy? She just came here to hang out," Samuel explained. "They've come all this way; the least we can do is give them a place to stay."
"I did hear about it. Besides Amy, the other two are William and Walker, right?"
"You know and still ask." Samuel lay down on the couch and said, "Walker really showed his mettle today. Having a guy like that around is a good thing."
"Hah! You dared to agree to build a test city, even daring to kill Kyle. Looks like you're serious this time."
Even though Arcane Village base had been expanded, it wasn't very large, and news spread quickly within it.
The meeting about building the test city and the discussions there had already spread.
However, the incidents that occurred in the research facility hadn't been leaked yet due to the short time frame.
"Walker did the killing, what can the Jones family do?" Samuel said fearlessly. "Walker is a favored disciple of Moros from the deity of witchcraft. Even if the Jones family is capable, could they really storm the base and kill Walker?"
At this point, Samuel's gaze grew cold as he said, "The current stance of the Jones family is very troubling. They seem intent on taking over the base, aiming to split the human alliance and divide the world. Such actions will not be tolerated by our higher-ups."
Any force that intends to divide the world will inevitably face opposition from the entire population, and their end will certainly not be good.
Jhin had his reasons for wanting to use technology to counter the Soulmancer back in the day. Now, human technology is advanced enough to slay gods. If the Jones family does anything out of line, they will definitely be sanctioned.
"This is a good start," the big-bearded man said, pausing before asking, "But what's the deal with that William? A reconnaissance company commander? Is he up to it?"
"Hahaha! I knew you'd ask that. What do you think?"
"Stop beating around the bush! Just tell me!"
The big-bearded man never expected that Samuel was actually waiting here for him.
"That William, his rapid movement techniques are so fast that even I can't catch him."
"Is he an S-class fighter?"
"I don't know!" Samuel's expression turned serious when he talked about William. Suddenly sitting up, he pulled a throwing knife from his waist and stared at the big-bearded man, saying, "Stand there, let me throw a knife at you."
"Are you crazy?" The big-bearded man's mouth twitched fiercely. The room was so small, and at such a close distance, an S-class fighter would hit the target 100% of the time with a throwing knife. If he stood there as a target, wouldn't that be insane?
"Try it!"
Samuel gripped the throwing knife and threw it towards the big-bearded man's head.
"Damn it! You really are crazy!" The big-bearded man couldn't help but curse, dodging to the side as the knife embedded itself in the wall behind him.
Clearly, if the big-bearded man hadn't moved, the knife would have hit his head.
Samuel took a deep breath and said, "Believe it or not, I threw knives at William standing there sixty-five times, and not once did I hit him!"
"What do you mean? Were you going easy on him? Or was his dodging speed so fast that he avoided them all?"
"He just stood there, didn't move a finger, didn't even tilt his head..." Samuel furrowed his brows, "At that moment, I even doubted whether I knew how to throw knives anymore."
The big-bearded man was silent for three seconds, then asked, "You thought you were no good anymore?"
"..."
Samuel said, "I'm not joking with you! That feeling..."
"It was like some mysterious force was controlling me, making it absolutely impossible for me to hit him."
Reflecting on it now, Samuel found it very strange. That mysterious power would make him throw his flying knives even before he could achieve a precise aim.
It gave him a feeling that it was absolutely impossible to hit the target.
The big-bearded man mused, "Could it be protagonist armor?"
"Have you been reading too many web novels?" Samuel said. "What I mean is, this William guy is mysterious. He looks like he's only C-level in strength, but he somehow knows all the data on Mutated creatures, including their weaknesses and how to eat them."
"Eat... how to eat them?" the big-bearded man asked. "You should ask him how to make that mutated rat taste better."
Samuel gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing here?"
"He knows all the data on Mutated creatures, do you get what I'm saying? All of them!"
"Oh?" The big-bearded man hummed thoughtfully. "Then he might be one of those gods who want to help humanity through tough times but for some reason doesn't want to intervene directly."
"That's not impossible!" Samuel said. "It could also be that he's a powerful Mutated creature in disguise."
The big-bearded man scoffed at this. "How could a Mutated creature stand on the side of humans? And the mutations haven't been around that long. If you say he's a Mutated creature in disguise, it's more likely he's some ancient being who's lived for tens of thousands, maybe even millions of years."
"Think about it, an immortal who's witnessed Earth's civilization from its inception to now, that must be so boring. Seeing the global mutations, maybe he wanted to find something to do and then ran to our base..."
"Your imagination really is rich," Samuel interrupted, "Anyway, no matter what kind of being he is, as long as he's on the side of humanity, we should show him respect. Tell your guys to be careful around William, never to offend him."
Samuel's eyes narrowed slightly as he continued, "Hugo went out with William and never came back, and Amy seems quite close to William too. William might be Amy's master."
"Got it, my guys won't offend anyone without reason," the big-
bearded man chuckled. "But, I'm quite interested in this William myself."
