"No," Berry slowly shook her head, "it's like we are seeing our future in front of our eyes."
"What are you two talking about?" Ibra and a few others didn't get what these two meant.
"You weren't there," Lang said in a deep sigh, "so it's normal if you didn't get any of what we said. But… For anyone who witnessed the miracle our boss did back then at my clan, then you'll know what we are saying is true."
Lang said these words, while moving his eyes among everyone who belonged to his clan. And weirdly enough in the eyes of others, all the Long clan members nodded in a firm and decisive way, strongly agreeing with what Lang said.
"Then try to explain things out," Sara was already too curious about William, and anything related to him, "tell us what he did back there! And what's with the thing of seeing our future in front of our eyes? What does that even mean?"
"Look outside," Berry pointed in a carefree way, "see all this? This is what we are going to be like in a few years from now if all of us followed William this long."
"Bullshit!" Ibra didn't buy any of what Berry said, "even after ten years, twenty years, even in our lifetime… We won't come close to doing anything like this ever in our lives!"
"No, you are mistaken," and when Ibra spoke to Berry, one of the bronze grade members of the Long clan interfered, "I saw it with my own two eyes back then! William pulled a miracle, did something that none of us, even our leaders, even imagined! And weirdly it may sound, this battle here had the same vibe of what he did back there."
"Take it from me," Lang stepped in, "if you followed William, then such a terrifying might won't be a weird thing in our eyes at all! He… He is quite different!"
"...."
Not everyone here got what the members of the Long clan really meant.
But people like Sara and Ibra could little understand how serious and truly believing these folks in their claims were. To others, especially those silver members, such talk made the Long clansmen look like they lost their minds or something.
"Who is William you are all talking so big about? If he is your boss, then I have to say he is a fine one to get such loyalty and faith in his team!"
And just before Berry would start explaining and telling stories about the miraculous feats William did back at her clan in detail, the same thunderous voice erupted out of the blue.
This time, the voice didn't come in any thunderous or explosive way. It seemed like a normal voice coming from someone standing not too far from them.
And when everyone turned to look at the direction of the voice, their eyes landed on the owner who was inside the bubble shield.
He was an old looking man, one who had his white beard and hair growing to a very long extent. He stood just a few metres away from them, inside the defensive and protective array, without anyone even noticing him approaching at all!
His face was calm, and weirdly enough it gave them the feeling as if he was listening to an amusing story or something.
The moment Ibra saw him standing just two metres away from him, his heart couldn't help but reflexively clench.
"A dark gold spirit master!" one of the silver members of the team muttered in doubt and fear.
"No, he isn't that far away from taking that step," Ibra was the strongest, so he was the best to issue such a judgement.
"Good lad indeed," and when that old and peaceful looking man nodded and agreed on Ibra's words, everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back in retreat, while most trembled out in fear.
What did someone half a step away from the legendary rank mean? He was one of the strongest figures in the entire world! And he was just standing a few metres away from them.
*Thud!* *Thud!* *Thud!*
It wasn't that surprising for the bunch of white grade kids to fall on the ground, with their bodies soaked entirely in their cold sweat.
"Easy there, I mean no harm to any of you," that scary figure had to say these words, trying to calm the anxious kids in front of him.
He didn't release a speck of his spirit power to not startle nor terrify them. Yet just by revealing his current status in the world was enough to have the same impact as if he released his spirit power all out.
"Venerable master, sorry but we got ourselves in the middle of your business," Sara was the most experienced here when it came to dealing with such a scary figure.
After all, her grandfather wasn't that worse than this old man. But for a reason, she felt this old man was a bit stronger than her scary grandfather.
The same also went for Berry, who was half a breadth away from saying almost the same words to this old man.
She was like Sara, got a scary grandfather. And like Sara, she also knew how peculiar these figures usually were.
Anything that might look trivial and normal in the eyes of others would turn into a grave sin and insult in their eyes, even to the extent of them losing their lives for such trivial issues.
"I'm not interested in any apology," and as the two girls expected, that old man already got a weird side of his, just like their grandfathers, "I'm more interested in that kid called William. Come on, tell me more about him."
"R… Right now?!!" Ibra was shocked by this. He had less experience compared with Sara and Berry, but he also dealt with the academy headmaster many times already.
"There is no need to worry, this is all quite normal."
