Chapter 316 Saw through everything
Alice really had to admire her beloved master.
From the video sent by Wes, it was clear that a group of people were out to kill her!
And Wes wasn't weak either. In Texas, he had been pressured to the point of vomiting blood just by the sheer presence of others. Now, a group like that was after her, and yet her master wasn't worried at all…
He was still watching anime, even laughing!
"Master, can you tell what strength those people are?" Alice, frustrated, sat on a stone bench, her face fallen as she looked at William.
William didn't even lift his head, casually saying, "Anyone who can be the head of a Soulmancer family should at least be at the intermediate Soulmancer level. If I were them and planning to kill you, I'd probably send a dozen or so intermediate Soulmancer elites."
"Uh…" Alice's face turned pale, "A dozen intermediate Soulmancer elites? Isn't that overestimating me? I'm just at the intermediate Soulmancer level!"
Finally, William paused his anime and looked up, smiling, "Did you think they would send a few people weaker than you first to give you some experience points? Wait until you get stronger and then send one or two slightly more powerful than you for a dramatic comeback? And then you become an invincible heroine, wiping them all out in one go?"
Alice felt her master had been learning too much new content recently.
Was this still the master who didn't even know how to order takeout?
"Isn't that how it's supposed to be…" Alice muttered quietly, "How can they send so many elites to kill me right away?"
"Then you better be careful when you sleep at night," William said, looking down again and pressing play, "They've offended Deputy Director Wenzel, so they have to be careful when they go out. Not sticking together, their own safety might be a problem."
"Okay, so what should I do?" Alice asked with wide eyes, "Master, you can't just watch your disciple get beaten to death, can you?"
William responded, "Then you better improve your strength and think of ways to survive. I'm just an ordinary person now, so don't have any expectations from me."
He could at most help Alice analyze the current situation. Unless the opposition sent someone above the intermediate Soulmancer level, he wouldn't intervene.
Alice took a deep breath and said, "But they're going to come to kill me in the next two days. Even if I improve my abilities, I can't possibly break through to the senior Soulmancer level overnight."
"Figure it out yourself, don't bother me," William said with a slight frown. "Didn't you train diligently on normal days? Now that you're in trouble, you realize you're too weak?"
"Okay... I'll solve it myself," Alice resigned, no longer harboring any hope from her master.
Solve it herself?
But how?
Truthfully, she wasn't very clear about her own strength.
She knew she was already strong, but how strong was she exactly, and how did she compare to intermediate Soulmancer elites?
What if, as William said, she was ambushed by a dozen intermediate Soulmancer elites? What should she do then?
Wait!
Not right!
"Master, didn't you just say that they can't stay outside for long, just these next two days?" Alice suddenly realized a crucial point. "Why can't they stay out longer?"
William paused for a moment and then said, "Are you a pig-brain? You're not from the 13th Bureau, but you still received Wes's video. So, as Wes said, every Soulmancer registered with the 13th Bureau received this message. The people from Texas are now common enemies in the Soulmancer world. Do they dare to stay outside for long? Are they asking for a death wish?"
"Oh!" Alice exclaimed, giggling, "Then I'll go train, Master. Are you going to sleep?"
"No sleep! I'm going to binge-watch anime!" William waved his hand, indicating Alice should not bother him anymore.
"Thank you, Master!" Alice wasn't foolish. She could distinctly feel that training in William's bedroom was much faster than in other places, surely due to something special about his home.
Despite William's proud and indifferent demeanor, he was staying up all night watching anime! Wasn't that just so she could train in his bedroom?
With William's hints, Alice became clear about the current situation.
Perhaps the people from Texas would send many elites to kill her.
But since the Texans had already offended the entire Soulmancer world, what did she have to worry about?
After entering her bedroom, Alice made a call to Zoey.
"Zoey?"
"Mm."
"It's Alice."
Before Alice could even say why she was calling, Zoey said, "I've already arranged for someone to watch over your family. If the people from Texas cause harm to ordinary people or create a severely adverse impact, I will intervene."
"..." Alice's mouth twitched. Isn't Zoey always kind of silly? How does it feel like she's already seen through everything?
She even started hinting at what Alice should do.
"Okay, thank you," Alice said and then hung up the phone.
After hearing William mention that maybe a dozen intermediate Soulmancer elites might come to attack her, she had been somewhat panicked. But now, not only was she not worried, she even felt like laughing.
Dealing with this situation was actually quite simple.
The easiest method was just to hide for a few days.
If I can't beat them, can't I just hide?
Another method was to stay in crowded places.
Alice believed that once the people from Texas entered New York City, they would definitely be noticed by Zoey and her team. In crowded areas, if the Texans made a move against her, and as long as it harmed ordinary people or caused some terrible impact, the people from the 13th Bureau would intervene.
Wes did say in the video, they would be executed!
Alice also didn't want to harm ordinary people.
Because she thought of a perfect place to go.
Cozy Book Haven!
Now, Cozy Book Haven was full of Soulmancers, and it was also near a school. If anything were to happen, at the very least, Nelson would help her.
In a one-on-one fight, she wasn't afraid of anyone.
As for now, she would focus on improving her abilities!
With a rough plan in mind, Alice felt more at ease to concentrate on her ability enhancement.
William had taught her many secret Soulmancer techniques at Ravenwood, but she hadn't fully grasped many of them.
Thinking about the sword technique secret she had comprehended the night before, she sat on the bed and began trying to understand other secrets.
If she could comprehend other secrets tonight, it would prove that her master's room had some magical effect. Maybe she would just take over his bedroom in the future.
William really did stay up all night watching anime. Nowadays, he had little interest in fighting or killing. A peaceful world with daily binge-watching of shows - wasn't that a comfortable life?
Getting involved in fights and killings seemed utterly uncivilized.
