"Shall I bring them…" William thought about Trevor and Thomas. He intended to go and pay his new property a visit. And he was considering taking any of the two with him.
He knew it was going to be dangerous out there, and that made him hesitate about bringing anyone with him.
Trevor was just all talk, and Thomas seemed strong and capable, but William still didn't know how really strong this dude was.
"Trevor is a dead weight… But Thomas… This dude can see karma, and that might help…" William thought about this single decision for an entire hour in his room.
He didn't want to bring someone he'd be forced to protect. And yet, knowing the unique ability of Thomas made him want to bring this kid over.
The place was filled with traps. And even if many got disarmed already, much more were hidden and undetected.
William knew he'd be able to break apart any trap once he spotted it. But that was the main issue, he got to spot it first. And that was where Thomas' role came into play.
It was his karma spirit element what would make all the difference here. These traps were all connected to the old owner of this house, connected with each other by that man's karma.
So Thomas was the only person in the fort, and perhaps in the world, who was able to stand outside, point towards all the traps hidden anywhere in that place without the need to go in and test his luck.
"I'm going to take him," William didn't take this one hour just to only think about this decision. He used papers there and wrote down a few techniques, the ones he got out of his memory, techniques about using the karma spirit element professionally.
He knew enough of such techniques. But he got to first select which of these was suitable to use, and which parts he needed to remodel and change. So, Thomas wouldn't find it hard to master any of that, wouldn't waste lots of time in learning any of them.
After doing all of this, William knew Thomas would take quite some time to master these new techniques. That was in case William decided to give him all of them. He didn't know what techniques Thomas had, but he guessed this kid was simply using his spirit element purely with a rudimentary technique.
As for which techniques he should give Thomas first, he had one in mind that was easy to learn, and very useful in the upcoming trip.
"The master is here!"
And just as William got out of his room, he was surprised to see the supposed to be empty corridor filled with many.
William saw lots of new faces and heard the voice of Trevor coming from the middle of all this mess.
There were at least twenty spirit masters here, all with cold faces, rough features, and many had scars over their faces and neck.
They looked ferocious, not the type who'd joke about anything. William's face changed as he instantly took out his gold sword and silver knives.
He couldn't tell what grade these folks were, and that made them at least at the pinnacle of gold grade, or dark gold grade even.
"What's going on here? Who are you?" William didn't show any sign of weakness even when he was outnumbered and overthrown by the powers of any of these dudes.
"Master! They are people sent by the other members of the Big Seven!"
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ "Big Seven?" William was surprised by this, never expecting the other members of the Big Seven to send such people over, "what business do you have with me?"
As he knew their identity, he already guessed the purpose of their visit. It seemed the news spread over, and what he did back at the Refos merchant group reached the ears of the other members of the Big Seven.
William knew how the minds of these people work. They only cared about profit, and sending such strong folks over wasn't just to negotiate with him.
The message they wanted to deliver was clear to him, you had no option but to work with us like you did with the Refos.
"My master wants to see you."
"My master wants to see him first."
"Let's hear him then, see which one of us he'll select to follow."
"As if he got the choice in the first place, humph!"
"Let's decide this on his behalf then."
"Fight or gamble?"
Just as William and Trevor spoke with each other, the scary dudes from the Big Seven spoke next. And as William expected, they were here to drag him away, even if they had to do it by force.
"Sorry, but if anyone wants to meet me, he has to show more sincerity first," William acted against what any of these folks here expected, not trembling out in fear, not shaking out of pressure, not showing any sign of weakness.
Instead, he took something out, a token, and raised it high in the air so everyone would be able to see it clearly, "I'm not alone, not an outsider like you all expects. This is a token representing my status here. If your masters want to stand against the Lockheart impact, then I'm glad to pour gasoline over fire and speed up such a clash."
William's words and actions greatly startled all the spirit masters filling this corridor. William knew he'd be powerless against dark gold spirit masters, but not against gold grade ones.
If this group got such scary folks, then they won't be more than five at most. And if they dared to cause a clash in the hotel, then the scary folks of the Royals will be forced to take action and start fighting back, defending their hotel and reputation.
These folks seemed to take William lightly, dealing with him as if they were dealing with a normal eleven years old kid.
They thought he'd get scared, get his mind blocked by fear, wouldn't even realise the great advantage he had; being a formal resident in this hotel.
