William knew he had to put on a great show here. So, he had to return to lean back on his assumed formidable master's story to secure himself.
After all, that old patriarch of this clan kept himself hidden and didn't show up so far.
He did such a show for two more reasons. First, he would sell such goods at the forging department of the academy. So, securing such a deal from such a mighty and wealthy clan wasn't a bad thing.
And secondly, he was sure one just watched him while he was fighting in the forest. If so, then this mysterious person saw him fight using his arrows and knives.
And that spirit master was indeed part of the clan. Or else that academy headmaster would have shown signs of him knowing about his little secrets.
William didn't know that the headmaster already knew after that trial. So the latter didn't bring such things up as the second time they met was quite intense.
"And? Do you think the Long clan fears anyone?" Berry's father responded in such an arrogant manner.
"I didn't mean that," William slowly shook his head, "but the ways of forging such items and more are my master's great secrets. I can't tell anyone about these. I hope senior can understand."
"This…"
"But I got another piece of good news for uncle," and just as Berry's father didn't know what to say, William returned to call him uncle. And such a swift change in his words made the two elders in front of him respond by raising both eyebrows at the same time.
"These items and much more will be sold at the academy Forging department."
"So, you refuse to show us your way to forge it and instead you are showing those to the academy blacksmiths? And what's with that uncle thing? Wasn't I your senior a few moments ago?"
Even if William gave him such news, Berry's father didn't intend for such a change of attitude from this daring and rude kid to go without a remark.
"We were just sparring, and in that you are my senior. We are done, and I'm the winner. So now you are my dear friend's father."
"Dear… Good… Keep talking like this and I swear I'll teach you a lesson regardless! Humph! How come my little innocent daughter fell into such a dirty mind spirit master with such a twisted soul!"
He kept muttering and shaking his head in regret, as if he was sad by this. Yet his little act didn't fool his brother.
'Old patriarch… You must have intervened!' Berry's uncle knew if there was a person able to calm down his brother's storm of rage with a single word of his then it would be their mighty patriarch.
And that was truly what happened.
During the time William wasted here, Kong made up his mind. The latter intervened and protected William's life for now.
"I'm just using what I have to win," William didn't show any sign of backing off, "or else how come you expect a bronze spirit master like myself to win against a dark gold spirit master like yourself?"
"I… Wasn't using my spirit power!" Berry's father bellowed back in such a weak argument.
"Who said spirit masters got strong by only using their spirit power? Your body got tampered with such power over the years. You can't possibly believe I can match your speed or reflexes? Not to mention the power in each fist of yours. I'm still a kid, and a recent bronze spirit master on top of that. How come I can match an experienced dark gold spirit master like you?"
"..." and with William's logical argument, Berry's father couldn't find a single word to say to defend himself against this kid.
"Hahaha! At last, you found your match! Hahaha! Seeing this shameless and bold kid reminds me of you, hahaha!"
And from the side, Berry's uncle couldn't help but laugh, stirring up the fire inside his brother once more. Yet a single and brief warning message managed to kill down such fire in a flash.
The situation here was already under control, and Berry's uncle, Gran, knew the old patriarch was the one behind this.
Or else, his dear brother would have already done something crazy like always.
"Brother, I and you will have a talk later," even if the old man interfered and stopped his hand off William, he still was mad at his brother.
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ He felt that Gran was enjoying this. Callom wanted to vent the anger he forcibly stopped inside on someone. And Gran was the perfect candidate for that.
"Uncle, I was called to come here and meet the clan's patriarch," William cupped his hand, knowing that he was lucky to get unscathed from the hands of such a brutal father.
He didn't know why, but he seemed to get the wrath of those around the girls he interacted with!
From the side, Berry was watching all this in amazement. She knew the temper of her father, and how crazy about solving anything with fighting he was.
So, letting William off without getting back at him was something shocking to her. 'Thanks grandpa,' she thought to herself, as she also knew that the only one who could handle her father would be her grandfather.
"I can't let any outsider come this close to my father without getting a word from him first," and even if Callom knew everything, he still acted stubborn and blurted such words out in a cold tone.
"Brother…" Gran gave Callom a weird look from the side, seemingly surprised by such words.
He never trusted William's words before. But when his uncle interfered to stop Callom, Gran knew what William claimed was true indeed.
"Just wait here…" Even if Callom couldn't touch William, couldn't even vent his anger over him, he wanted to go and meet his father to understand why.
What the heck was all this about? Why was he protecting this little kid in such a way? Callom had such thoughts in his mind when he started to move towards the mansion's big doors.
