That was why he said to Remy to let him deal with this trouble. As he was the only one who got a scary backing that will stop all of these doubts and greed.
"As for such unfortunate events, my master already decided to donate half of his gains towards all of you, as a form of supporting you in these losses."
William didn't just leave them with the threatening face of his proclaimed Fox master. He used this way to silence any of those who belonged to the various forces in this fort.
In the end, he wasn't going to lose anything. Paying half of what he should gain wouldn't even count more than two or three billion spirit crystals. But it was enough to clear any doubts inside many.
"But as you all spoke about rings, I recall many forces also gathered rings," William didn't plan to let those bastards go free simply like this, "if you want to check on anyone's rings, then start with those you can handle first."
William showed a face that would remain forever inside these folks' memories. Many were already sure that William and his proclaimed master got most if not all of the wealth the Refos group lost.
But who'd dare to speak and argue? It was something that no one was willing to do. And like this, the entire gathering here got dispersed after Remy distributed the remaining wealth over them.
And like this, William got himself an extra three billion spirit crystals like he expected.
"You… You are indeed good," the old man who already spoke with William stepped up and said to him. And that made William evilly grin.
"They deserved what they got," William didn't feel a single speck of guilt or shame, "they dared to steal from my master. And those were the words of his when he learnt about what happened."
William looked at Remy, and the latter got her face changed for a brief moment. But such brief interaction between the two was missed by many.
"So, what are you planning to do now?" Tony paused, "how about this, you tell us what plans your master wants to execute, and we are more than happy to help him do these."
"In exchange for what?" William knew such an offer wouldn't come for free of course. Even if he was using the scary name of that old fox, he was sure these merchants wouldn't feel any pressure from this.
They only thought about profit, and how to maximise it. And that perfectly suited William's plans.
"Well… Of course, we want to help Sir Fox, but we are going to use lots of our people and lots of our resources to make what he wants done," that Tony was following the same script in William's mind.
"Just cut the chase and tell me how much this will cost my master," he didn't like to use such flowery words to cover up on their real intentions.
"Well… We already got a fee for such a service," that dude cleared his throat, before adding, "if we are just doing management, then our fee is ten million crystals per day. If we are going to do logistics as well, ensure supply sources and such, then we take one hundred million. In return for that, your master will get a thirty percent discount of any item's price, no matter what it was."
"Oh…" William paused, giving the bad impression for this dude.
"Our service is excellent, and our reputation is known to all. You can ask…"
"No need," William waved his hand, "I'm sure my master won't reject such help. So let's go with the one hundred million service. However…"
William didn't speak and just glared at Tony. And the latter got what he meant by this look, "Don't worry, we guarantee that anything your master wants will be secured no matter how precious or rare it is."
"Cool," William clasped his hands, before turning to Remy and added, "starting from tomorrow, you'll give me Remy. My master got extremely interested in her. And she will be the one making the deals with you."
"Cool," that old man gave Remy a meaningful look. It seemed like he and others around got the wrong idea about why William asked for Remy.
They thought his master was interested in Remy in an intimate way. And when they thought about it, they realised that such a dude kept himself locked up for so long. And it made sense for him to want to vent out little energy with a sexy lady, one like Remy.
"Now I'll go inside my land and get some rest," William stretched his arms, before turning towards Remy and added, "don't forget, tomorrow morning at ten, be here or else…"
"I know, I know," she resigned to her fate. But William wasn't going to get the deserved rest he dreamt of.
Just before he'd turn around and walk into his land, he noticed a group of spirit masters approaching. There was a face among them that he instantly recognised. And seeing this familiar figure made William's face twist and show an evil smile.
"Hi Ben, did you bring my team here?" William recognised that old and sly man from far away. And seeing him made him recall the silly joke that dude pulled at him before using the token, "do you remember this? I believe it's time for you to have it back."
William took the token out, raised it high in the air, before tossing it towards that dude. And Ben caught it with a conflicted look over his face.
"You already showed it to many," he grumbled, showing his discontent. And still William felt he was a bit nervous for something.
Ben didn't feel so because of the little trick he did at William. It was because during his earlier talk with his leader, he missed speaking about this.
And that gained him a silent look from his leader before turning to William and introduced himself:
"I'm Panther, the leader of the Lockheart impact here," he paused, while nodding slightly to William, "and I want to speak about little business in private."
