Chapter 435 No Better Translator Than William
William had no idea when they would fall back down, but he had already controlled his strength to a very minimal level.
The first fan was probably unusable now, but the second one was still acceptable.
After testing the fans, William left the Crimson Phoenix Guild feeling quite satisfied.
Luna and Erebus followed William without daring to ask any more questions.
With either of those fans, one could almost become invincible, provided, of course, that the opponent wasn't William.
When William and the children returned, Zoey had already come out of her room.
"Where did you all go?" Zoey asked, fixing her gaze on William.
She had entered a meditative state shortly after going upstairs, but when she came out, she found that William had taken the two kids somewhere unknown.
"We just went out for a stroll, is there something you need?" William replied with a smile.
The expressions on Erebus and Luna's faces were quite expressive.
A stroll?
Did he just call what they did a 'stroll'?
But then again, for William, it probably was just a stroll.
Zoey didn't ask further, instead pulling out her phone and handing it to William, saying, "Take a look."
William saw a video on her phone that clearly showed the scene of Garen summoning thousands of sword shadows from a distance.
The Emerald Lion Guild was reduced to rubble.
After watching the video carefully, William realized it was just a distant recording.
The video showed how terrifying Garen's sword shadows were, but it didn't capture William and Steven.
"Hmm? What about it?" William didn't seem to think that Zoey had figured out this all had something to do with his recent 'stroll.'
Zoey's eyebrows knitted slightly as she stared at William, seemingly lost in thought...
"You think I should go and check on their Guild since it got destroyed like that?"
"..."
Indeed, William had overthought it. Zoey's mind definitely wasn't sharp enough to guess what William had done based on that video.
She had finally remembered she was the Director of the 13th Bureau and, given the situation, she should probably check in with Garen as a matter of routine.
William responded, "Garen destroyed his own Guild, why would you go and see that?"
"Oh, I see!" Zoey nodded, "Someone just told me they are already rebuilding. So, destroying it like that is a faster way to demolish buildings, huh?"
Luna and Erebus stared blankly at Zoey...
Could this woman be any more foolish?
What kind of reasoning was that?
Have you ever seen building demolition done this way?
Zoey, retrieving her phone and smiling, said, "Also, I heard the Crimson Phoenix Guild was demolishing buildings too. I guess the rumors about the close relationship between the two Guilds are true. They even demolish buildings together."
The looks on Luna's and Erebus' faces grew even more perplexed. You're really a genius, aren't you, to connect those dots.
"By the way, William, come with me to Mount Fuji," Zoey said, "We've captured someone from the Crimson Emissaries Guild, and we need to return them."
"Why do you need to go?" William asked.
Zoey raised an eyebrow, "Steven used to handle the Crimson Emissaries Guild, and now that he's retired, it falls on me to return the person."
William thought for a moment and asked, "Didn't Steven ask you to go?"
He was seriously suspecting that Steven had deliberately asked Zoey to go and had even hinted that she should take William along.
Zoey gave a mysterious smile, "Would you rather stay at the school?"
"Huh?" William stared at Zoey, stunned. She was using the guise of returning the captive as an excuse to escape!
And she was doing it so confidently.
This sudden display of cunning was indeed hard to accept at the moment.
Frankly speaking, William had planned to study diligently at the school.
Although he was proficient in various alchemies, runes, and magic circles, those were all things from the era of the gods.
He really hadn't learned the modern versions of these disciplines.
Following the trends of the times is what makes one weaker!
But after some thought, considering Zoey's intellect, once she entered the mountains, she would likely get lost. Her trip there could well end up being a permanent departure.
Moreover, William had sensed the arrival of a deity of witchcraft near Mount Fuji. If he didn't accompany Zoey, she might either get lost in the forest or be killed upon arrival...
"Alright, let's go!" William asked, "When do we leave?"
"Now!" Zoey turned and went upstairs, quickly returning with a rolling suitcase.
William looked at the large suitcase and couldn't help but comment, "Are you really going on a vacation?"
But when Zoey opened the suitcase, William was stunned!
No!
She wasn't going on vacation!
She was going camping!
The suitcase was filled to the brim with various snacks and not a single piece of clothing. William even noticed a Butterball turkey, neatly packaged inside.
"We'll take the person now and then fly out. You book the tickets," Zoey said, clearly eager to leave.
Appointing her as the Dean of Students at the Soulmancer school was truly a foolish choice by Steven. How could she teach anyone?
At most, she could just punch someone as a form of 'instruction.' And now, this Dean of Students was planning her escape, preferring to camp in the mountains rather than stay and fulfill her role.
William had barely settled in when Zoey whisked him off to the 13th Bureau's base.
The person captured from the Crimson Emissaries Guild was being held in the interrogation room of the 13th Bureau.
When they entered, the guy had a face full of bruises. Seeing Zoey, he completely broke down and started babbling a lot, which unfortunately Zoey couldn't understand at all.
William, however, understood it clearly,this is the language of the primitive tribes from the ancient times.
"Damn woman, what do you want to do? Our deity of witchcraft has already descended. It won't be long before this world becomes ours."
"If you dare to hit me again, the deity of witchcraft will surely kill you."
...
Zoey glanced at him curiously, then asked William, "Can you understand what he's saying?"
William narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "I understand."
Curious, Zoey asked, "What's he saying?"
William seriously replied, "He wants to challenge you to a duel."
Zoey said dismissively, "He's too weak!"
Meanwhile, the guy continued, "I just took a liking to that woman, that's all. All the beautiful women in this world belong to our deity of witchcraft, and you dare to capture me like this."
William knew very well how those of the demon race expressed their affection after taking a liking to someone.
It was just like the primitive men, knocking the person unconscious and then taking them to a cave to continue their lineage.
Brutal and straightforward.
Zoey asked, "What's he saying now?"
William said earnestly, "He's calling you trash, saying that last time he was just going easy on you. If you dare, fight him again, and he'll make you bite the dust."
"Oh? Really?" Zoey said, rolling up her sleeves and walking towards the guy from the Crimson Emissaries Guild...
