"How so?" William started walking by her side, while she started to do the role of a guide, a real guide this time, not like what that old scary man, Ben, did before.
"They got strippers there! Isn't that awesome!"
"..."
"Hahahaha! Just look at your face, it's quite hilarious, hahahaha!"
"Can you stop this?"
"But it's funny!"
"Not for me!"
"And who said your opinion matters?" she laughed again, while William couldn't tell if he should run away from such an explosive beauty or just join her in her amusement.
"Forget about the hotel," he suddenly said, "tell me why that old man is that infamous in the impact."
"You don't know?" she gave him a weird look, and he honestly nodded.
"Sigh! It's weird though… I thought… Everyone thought that you do know as long as you are carrying his mark."
"He just gave it to me to let me get access to the outsider building in the impact," William repeated what Ben told him before. And that made Ro stop walking, look at him deeply, before laughing.
"That jerk! Hahaha! He tricked you. That's typical of him, hahahaha!"
"Then…" William didn't mind her reaction as he waited patiently for her to uncover what he didn't know.
"He… Is quite different."
"In what way?"
"You know… Every spirit master has an element, and that's crucial to let us improve and get stronger, right?"
This was indeed something basic and didn't need her to ask about.
"And you do know that with techniques, training techniques, we can upgrade our spirit power."
And he again nodded.
"This man… He got such a weird mix of spirit element and technique that matches it. He has to be with girls, sleep with many, to get his element stirred up and stimulated. He is using a weird technique that can let him get stronger during any relationship with any girl."
"A yin-yang spirit element?!!!" William's body slowly trembled when he heard what she said about Ben.
"What… What is that? No, it's not that thing you mentioned," she didn't get what he said. And he understood why she acted in such a way, "he is calling it the godsend blessing for any man! He has gotten more than a thousand girls to his bed since he was a kid! And he announced before he won't give his token to anyone but his successor."
"That…" William suddenly got why she warned her team from him, even pointing out towards their panties in a direct and daring way.
That was all thanks to the old man, and the misunderstanding he got thanks to the token he got from Ben. "You… Great! That's just great! You tried to screw me? Fine! I won't let you go easily from this!" William muttered to himself, feeling that Ben tried to mess with him, wanting him to end up having more trouble than help in the impact.
"Sorry about that," Ro felt a little bad about this misunderstanding, "but… You were the one who took that token out."
"Forget it," William decided to drop this matter for now, "tell me, I heard there are the Big Seven here, right?"
"The Big Seven? The big seven merchant groups? Oh, you came prepared," she gave him a weird look.
"What?"
"I wanted to see if you are one poor kid from the countryside or some rich and handsome young man by going towards the most expensive hotel in the fort. But asking directly about the Big Seven? Damn! You are damn rich!"
"What about the handsome thing?"
"It's debatable!"
"Just like your beauty."
"What? Is it debatable?" she stopped, placing both arms against her hips, giving her a very alluring look.
"It's indeed debatable," William gave her a long and deep glance, sizing her up and down before returning to walk again, "it's debatable if such beauty will kill a man with a look or with a kiss."
"Oh, you can try and see for yourself then," she flashed fast and caught up with him, winking while saying this. He gave her a side look and then shifted his eyes away.
"No thanks, I prefer my head to remain intact and safe on my shoulders."
"I won't bite!"
"I beg to differ," William paused, "where is the nearest and biggest one here?"
"What exactly do you want to buy?" she dropped her childish act, and started to speak seriously at last, "for each of the seven, each excels at one thing. For example, the Rodes are famous for offensive gears, the Terrants are known for their arrays, and etc."
"I want auctions, one that can sell great stuff on a regular basis."
"You are looking for treasures! Fantastic!" for a reason he didn't get, she jumped out in delight, even hanging her arms with his, "let's go to the Refos then. They are the most renowned here for their precious vault and insane treasures they got."
"Do they have wealthy customers?"
"Don't tell me you are afraid of competition," she mistook his meaning, putting her hand on her slightly opened mouth as she chuckled.
"I don't want to get things with higher prices than usual," William decided to play along, not correcting her wrong guess. If she took him for being wealthy, then there was no reason for him to let her believe otherwise.
"Don't worry, dear," she moved her body closer, even to the extent of him feeling her hot breaths on his neck, "I'm taking you to a place with many fierce buyers, to prove how capable you are."
"Why do I smell trouble out of this?" William was on the verge of screaming in delight. He got lots of dark gold cores of the Scarlet Bears. And he wanted a place where people with deep pockets were.
He planned to sell most of his gains here, reaping all the benefits he could get in one grand deal. Doing this would need a place with lots of wealthy customers.
After all, auctions needed many wealthy customers to sell things at extravagant prices.
