His words, accompanied by the token he just took and flipped it in the air like he was playing with a coin or something, alongside his playful expression and cold looking eyes, made Mark's body slightly tremble.
William, the kid who wasn't any older than eleven years old, just dared to threaten the entire Royals hotel. And for a reason, Mark couldn't help but take such direct warning seriously.
William saw directly through this troublesome youth's intentions. He was the type to use dirty methods to solve the big problems he got, just like how he did before by inviting the lackeys of the six big merchant groups here.
William knew this dude would think and plan an assassination attempt for him. As he was sure about this, William decided to strike first, using two scary names with evidence backing his claims up.
Even if what he claimed was false, he had what it took to make them look real. And that made Mark hesitate about doing what he intended to do.
As William left the hotel in steady steps, Mark finally reacted. "Tsk! What did I lead myself into this time? A kid? A kid my as*!"
He decided to go and throw all this mess in the lap of his superiors. He was just following their initial order about getting to know what this kid was about to do here. Everything he did, even if these were his faults, were aimed to fulfil such order and demand.
So, he decided to go back, let those who put him in such an explosive situation in the first place take full responsibility for this entire mess.
"Master, I never saw someone kick one's as* the way you just did!"
And as the three of them walked through the main street, Trevor couldn't help but express how much he was shocked and excited about what William just did.
And as William heard what he said, he laughed like never before.
"He deserved this," William laughed, before stopping.
"What?" he was looking at Trevor in a serious way, making the latter stop and even examine himself up, as if he got something wrong on his body.
"You won't follow us to where we are going," William said in a way that made Trevor want to ask about where they were going without him, "and don't ask. Just stroll around, go and check on the news of the other Big Seven, see if there's anything we shall worry about."
"O… Ok…" as he got a task to do, Trevor didn't feel that bad to be left behind.
"I never imagined you are this caring about your people," and as the only two of them walked towards the direction of William's cursed property, Thomas asked.
"I just don't want any dead weight with us," William shrugged, "and we got enough hands to do the job."
"I'd love to say more hands are needed to make things safer… But no matter who we brought, we won't."
"Don't be this pessimistic! We got you!" William patted on this dude's back, the only place his hand could reach.
And against how cheerful and hopeful William acted, Thomas was indeed feeling very pessimistic inside.
He didn't know what William wanted to do there, or what was his role in any of that. He was familiar with the scary stories about this place, and he could already imagine his death out there. Not to mention the old incident he got in that place before.
However, he was already a property for William, and as his master gave the order, he had to follow.
William used this chance to check on this dude. He knew there was a contract between the two of them, but others in Thomas' shoes would prefer to be called rogue servants than walking to their death willingly like this.
"At least he got some conscience inside," William placed a good point in Thomas' favour, waiting for them to arrive at his place to further test this youth.
To William, a spirit master with a karma spirit element might not be this strong in any direct confrontation. But in a long battle like the one he suffered before with his team at the forest, Thomas' presence would have made a great difference.
He had the ability to see through anything, link things together. And that meant he could easily spot traps, and even had the ability to point towards the locations of the Nightmare monster's large number of clones from far.
If William had Thomas by his side back then, he didn't have to run blindly like before, never had to meet up the dark spirit masters he faced before.
In addition to that, William already had a scary technique that Thomas could use. It was some sort of karma manipulation technique, one that would enable Thomas to control any target's karma, and even control the bad karma and let it befall his foe.
Be it monsters or humans, any living spirit was governed by few world rules, including karma. And using this heaven law, Thomas would be able to turn any battle upside down, as long as he got the time and resources he'd need.
Another thing William noticed. Since he taught Thomas about his karma spirit element and technique, this youth kept talking more than before.
He felt like he broke through a barrier in this youth's heart or something. And he hoped he'd not turn out to have a shitty personality in the end, one that would force William to kick him away.
"We are getting closer," as the two kept walking forward, Thomas suddenly said. William looked around, finding this a bit weird.
"People seem to avoid walking through this section of the street…"
"That's out of fear from your place."
Thomas wanted to smile. But unlike what he wanted; his face turned a bit tense. He then looked around, and as his master said it, the number of people walking here got a sharp decline in number.
