"I want something from you, so it's up to you if you'll help me here or not."
The words of Fang were crystal clear to William. That old master wanted something before he'd step in and join the stage with others. That made William realise that during all this time, Fang never moved or acted, not even once!
"Say your price then," William had a bad impression about Fang, and the latter could already feel so, but didn't care about any of that.
"I want two things from you…"
"You can just have one for now," William interrupted Fang, coldly adding, "one answer for your help here. If you want more, then you have to find ways to repay me before coming to ask."
"Fair enough," Fang paused, "what if I can kill you? Then won't this count as a favour if I let you live?"
"Do you think an ant like you can kill me? Hahaha! That's hilarious!"
"Don't count on any of them to step in to help you, they are all afraid of me and I can fight all of them and escape with my life intact," Fang shrugged, as he guessed wrongly where William's confidence stemmed from.
"No, you got me wrong," William slowly shook his head, "you were here when I took down the mountains, right? Tell me, could you move back then?"
William's words landed on a tight spot in Fang's heart. Back then he couldn't even move for a few minutes, and felt an indescribable fear that stemmed from his spirit.
Someone like him wouldn't get scared easily, wouldn't get feared by anything else but failing to ascend and ending up facing death in the end. Yet he felt such a weird feeling, and that was a shocking experience for him.
William already heard the comments from everyone he met about that moment, they all experienced such unexplained fear, and all became stupefied in their places. Even the enemies didn't move, and stood motionless even when masters came asking for their lives.
William didn't know what caused all this, but he knew this happened. And if it happened to everyone and everything here without exception, then this Fang wasn't an exception as well.
"That doesn't count…"
"I'm just stating that against me, you can't be that confident about taking my life away," William paused, before putting a serious look on his face, "and trying to ask me for a favour won't do if you use threats and such underhanded means. A piece of advice, help me honestly, and I'll generously repay you."
William knew this master wasn't the type to use such methods with others. He was the type to lean to violence and threats, preferring to use power to solve everything.
William knew his current limits, and knew it'd be a miracle if he escaped unscathed from the clutches of such a formidable and scary master. But he also knew trying to kill him wasn't that easy of a task. And if he gained help from everyone here, then things would change for the better for him, for the worse for Fang.
"Let's not speak about this then," Fang paused for a few minutes, looking deeply at William, knowing that he wasn't lying about any of what he said just now, "First of all let's make the first deal… One answer for helping you out in one battle here…"
"In the entire war," William couldn't believe how shameless this master was, "and you dare to call yourself on the top of the world? What world? The world of scammers and outlaws or what?"
"You are indeed much worse than I heard," Fang looked annoyed, before an evil grin appeared on his face, "What if I were the leader of the scammers and terrible masters in the world? I'm still on the top of the ladder, while you are still climbing it up."
"One day I'll surpass you," William shrugged, not knowing his casual response to teasing Fang made the latter far more excited.
But Fang controlled his emotions, not showing any on his face.
"Let me ask you then, are you from the higher realm?" the moment Fang threw his question, and William's body intensified.
It went without saying that he used to pull miraculous feats one after another, but no one ever asked him such a question before.
"No… I was born and raised here in this world…"
"Then let me rephrase my words then… Are you… Perhaps a reincarnator?"
This time, William's face froze for a brief second. He knew what this old master meant, and couldn't believe that someone in this tiny world was aware of this.
Reincarnators were people blessed by their ability to bypass the cruel and ruthless laws of the world. All the living beings in all worlds had to go into the reincarnation cycle the moment they died. But in very special and extremely rare situations, few might escape such a rule.
Going through a reincarnation cycle meant to lose all the memories one had, to come back to life without recalling anything of his past life, or life.
But for these special individuals, they'd come back in life while retaining all of their memories, or large parts of them. William knew that his nemesis enemy, that fox, was a reincarnator. And hearing such a term from this master made him freeze for a moment.
And that slight change in his face didn't escape Fang's keen eyes and senses. "So it's true," he didn't wait for William to say anything, feeling satisfied with that slight sign that appeared out of William's intentions, "you came from the outer world, one of those lucky bastards who escaped the cycle of reincarnation!"
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "You are the bastard!" William bellowed back, annoyingly. He didn't like how this master acted so far, didn't like how he saw through this.
William didn't know if he died back then and got reincarnated, or did he come back in time. In either case, he got the knowledge he learnt from the past life, from the outer world, and that made, in one way or another, a reincarnator.
