Chapter 1258: The Recording Crystal
Yet when other masters used similar formations, she started to realise the truth. "This William is going to be a headache," she muttered to herself, feeling like she found herself a trouble she never imagined finding in this world.
When her masters escaped, almost all of them suffered from different degrees of wounds. She knew she wouldn't be able to put on the scary show she envisioned before. And yet she refused to leave empty handed like this.
"Didn't you come here to know what I did back there?" out of the blue, William calmly walked through the army of masters he had. He looked as if he was experienced and used to lead tons of masters in deadly and dangerous battles.
A youngster in his age, coming from this low world, wouldn't show such confidence nor calmness in front of her and other masters on her side. And when William stopped a few tens of metres away from his masters, she raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Do you think I won't kill you from such a distance?" she scoffed, as if William just made a grave and fatal mistake.
"I know you can, but you won't," William evilly smiled, "you didn't want to kill any of us or dirty your hands with our blood. What was it? An oath perhaps?"
"Screw yourself!" she roared faintly while gritting on her teeth as a wounded tigress.

"Let's talk business," William's face turned all serious, "how about we speak about what I sent Jenny to do?"
"I want to know why you decided to help her escape," she shook her head, as if what William did was a bit childish, "she can't escape, her life is bound forever to the palace and me…"
"Who said I did this to let her escape from here?" William raised an eyebrow, feeling as if he was surprised by what she said.
In fact, he was, he thought Sara's mother would come here clueless. And yet she thought about a reason he never thought of before.
"Then…" hearing his words and seeing the reaction on his face made her feel a bit doubtful, "is this a useless act in front of me?"
"Catch this," William didn't like continuing such useless talk, so he took something out of his rings and threw it towards her direction.
"This…" she grabbed what he threw, looked at it as if she was looking at a bomb. To her surprise she found a spirit crystal, looking like any normal crystal, but a bit bigger and had faint hue to it.
"This is…"
"A recording crystal," William paused, "a copy, one like what Jenny took and delivered to your useless palace."
"..."
Hearing his words made her face change for the first time since coming to this world. She looked at the crystal in her hands, looked at William, while feeling a bad omen about what this crystal had.
"Take it with you," William didn't even wait for her to check the content of this crystal, "and make sure to listen to it alone, just a friendly advice. See you when I see you."
He raised his fist in the air as if he was saying goodbye to a friend of his or something. She clenched tightly on the crystal, resisting the urge to step ahead and claim his life.
He was right indeed in his guess, she was limited and bound by an oath before coming here. And that was why she never took the initiative to attack, never fought to kill, or else even Fang wouldn't have gone unscathed from the last fight.
Yet what he said, the way he said it, made her feel there was something big in that crystal. She thought about Jenny, and yet couldn't get how the two of them coordinated something like this.
"If I can agree on something, then the two of them hate me down to their bones," she muttered to herself, while feeling like everything was fitting each other.
Bitterly as a loser, she dragged herself and the remnants of her masters back to the underground city. She wasn't in the mood to continue this fight, or show of power that she miserably failed in.
"Will we let her leave like that?!" Lara couldn't help but stop William and point towards the walking away Sara's mother and half the army she brought within the first place.
"Let her be," William calmly smiled, "she… She had more trouble to care about from now on."
"..."
Neither Lara nor anyone else of his friends knew what he was speaking about. Only Moore knew what he was speaking about, and even he looked at the shadow of Sara's mother and inwardly sighed.
"Let's go," William paused, turned around and added, "don't forget…"
"We know," Sara rolled her eyes while others struggled to keep their laughs inside, "let's clean the battlefield and collect the loot…"
"This isn't any normal loot," Fang jumped all of a sudden, "all of them came from the outside world, and you all know how much materials and interesting stuff they held in their rings…"
"Never dream about that," William stopped the old man from continuing his dreams, "everything will be delivered to me, intact and fully, got it?"
His words weren't just for Fang, but for other strong masters who seemed to drool for the generous loot in this battle. When William said his words, he focused his eyes over Lara, Anjie, and other friends of his to make sure they got what he needed them to do.
They would be his eyes and ears, and any master taking something for himself would end up getting punished by him later on.
William wouldn't need to trouble himself with them, he'd just spread rumours about them having lots of precious treasures, and the rest of greedy masters would do the trick for him.
Knowing everyone here was smart, he left this mission to others while he retreated. He had to consider what would be the reaction of Sara's mother towards that crystal.
