Chapter 463 Meeting Old Faces Again
"No way! There is nothing like that!"
"The world is big enough for you to know there must be a way," William laughed, "just think about it. In exchange for working for me, you\'ll get your dreams fulfilled."
"Aren\'t you afraid I will turn over you? Trick you to tell me this proclaimed technique then sell you out?"
William didn\'t show any change on his face, not even his smile paled. Instead, it grew wider, "who said I\'m going to give it before having enough evidence to frame you? Don\'t worry, I know what I\'m doing. And before you\'ll sniff anything about this technique, you\'ll betray your current master and the entire dark spirit master community in a path without return."
"You think I\'ll fall for just empty words like this? Hahahaha! You are indeed still a greenhorn in this world, hahahaha!"
William knew this dark spirit master was trying to show off that he didn\'t care, but in fact he was. Greed and thinking too much about one\'s dream was really scary. And William knew trying to get a positive answer right now from him wasn\'t going to work. Time was William\'s greatest ally, and Moore\'s fiercest enemy.
"Just keep my words in your mind for now," William raised his head before adding, "I\'m just going to show you a new trick, one that I bet you never knew about before."
"Which is…"
Just before that dark spirit master would say anymore, William clenched his fest and landed a deadly blow over his heart. This strike was enough to make him cough up blood, falling to the ground, feeling as if he was literally dying. But the next moment, he found himself sleeping on the ground next to the big hole.
"I bet his face is now quite priceless, hahahaha!" William did something that Moore wouldn\'t think possible. He ejected himself voluntarily out of his dream, getting freed from that dark spirit master\'s ability.
Of course, what William expected happened. Moore opened his eyes, looked around his place inside the underground cave, with a face that showed a rare expression of disbelief.
"He… He managed to break my technique?! How come… No way!! He must be bluffing!!!" Moore didn\'t take what happened for real and returned to sleep again using his technique. He held a poster in his right hand, raised it to see the details of William\'s face clearly in front of his eyes before falling asleep.
But against what he expected, he never found William as the latter decided to remain awake. "I bet he is trying his best to come into my dreams again, hahahaha!" William laughed while getting out of this building. And there he found a scene that he was happy to witness.
The world was already shining bright. In his territory, the emptiness that was before got changed. There were lots of new faces there, alongside many old faces as well.
"William!" Just before he\'d look around and grasp the entire situation, he heard a girly voice before someone threw herself over him.
Without the need to look over, he knew it was Berry with her long hair. And when she jumped into his embrace, she couldn\'t feel herself anymore, and started to weep.
"Easy girl, I\'m already fine," William patted her head and back, trying to reassure her.
"I\'m… I\'m glad you are ok," she stuttered and choked amidst her cries and tears. William couldn\'t help but keep her like this until she\'d get over this situation.
But she was the only one to show such intense emotions for seeing him. He moved his eyes around his former team. Everyone was there, and from the look on their faces, he knew the Lockheart impact treated them quite well.
All they showed right now was a broad smile on their faces. Even Ibra showed a faint one, which was a rare one.
"No hug for me?" William looked at Ibra. The latter got his faint smile wiped out, before he scoffed and said:
"Tsk! You are still as annoying as when we left the academy, there is no hope for you!" he rolled his eyes, before looking a bit serious, "do you know that we got ambushed on our way back? If not for the sudden appearance of reinforcements and strong folks, we won\'t have arrived here in one piece."
"This…" William never expected such a thing to happen. He didn\'t know that if not for the fast actions of the Lockheart impact\'s higher ups, calling them back before those from the Black Mamba would rally enough forces up, then they\'d have not been here right now.
"For a reason, lots of dark spirit masters popped out of nowhere," Sara sighed, "we tried to fight them back, but in the end we failed. They got two dark gold grade masters and lots of gold grade ones as well. It wasn\'t something we can handle or face."
"Hmm… Did they track you from the place you were held at?" William paused before sitting on the ground, "tell me everything that has happened since we parted ways."
William sat down, and Berry didn\'t even leave his side for a single second. He had to carry her with his arms, holding her like he was about to give her a soft kiss on her lips or something.
She kept clinging to her chest, holding his uniform, while everyone started to tell the horrors they faced and the weird things that happened to them since parting ways with William.
