Chapter 1261: Explosive Meeting
"What if I refused?" she crossed her arms, showcasing the beauty of her body, "what will you do?"
"Nothing," William was sincere when he said he wouldn't kill her. She was, after all, Sara's mother, and he wouldn't do such a horrible thing to Sara if he got the option to.
"Then I'll say no…"
"Why?" William shook his head, "you have no place in the outer world, and here? Your little force is going to be killed now…"
William crossed his arms in return, as if he was challenging her. As he ended his words, a big massacre occurred, where all the masters on his side acted and worked together, killing whoever remained on Sara's mother side for good.
The battle wasn't easy, but it was short. The screams of agony ended abruptly in half an hour. During which, both William and Sara's mother kept glaring at each other without saying a word.
"Do you think this is the end?" Sara's mother scoffed, "you don't know me, don't know the place I belong to…"
"Belong to," William corrected her, "do you think that palace will let you live for even one more second? The moment you put a foot there, you'll be hunted down like a treacherous rat. You have no future there."
"..." Sara's mother knew what William said was true, and yet she didn't accept failing in such a way, "I'll go back and explain everything," she moved her eyes around, "none of you can stop me!"
"Indeed, we can," Sloth stepped forward, waving his big sword in the air while Fang appeared next to him, "let's not get this overboard. Something tells me you have a value or else this little bastard would have killed you already."
"Tsk!" Sara's mother moved her eyes around, as if she was looking for a way out.
"Mom, please stop," just when she was looking, a hesitant voice came from the distance, attracting everyone's attention.
"Sara…" William was the one to mutter her name, while her mother squinted her eyes, feeling disgusted from seeing her daughter pleading in such a way to her.
"Please…"
"If you think I hold any speck of love towards you then you are mistaken," Sara's mother coldly said, "to us, daughters are just a tool, a way to enrich our palace heritage and grow our forces… And a means to expand my influence inside the palace…"
"You don't have a palace now," William interrupted her, not feeling as surprised or shocked like everyone else, especially Sara, "you don't need to go this far…"
"Don't lecture me, I'll go back and tell them the truth."
"On the cost of your life? Come on! You aren't that attached to that place anyway," William sneered, "stay here for a while, and fulfil the deal I offered, then the entire palace will be yours."
"..."
His words landed, and it wasn't just Sara's mother who was surprised, but everyone else. They all thought William was seeking to control her and keep her here, act as their guide in training and a way to get faster to the outer world.
Everyone thought the same, even Fang and Sloth. The latter two knew about William's ambition to go to the outer world. But hearing him speak in such a way, speaking about the offer they didn't know, made them doubt what they guessed before.
"What offer?!" Sara was the one to ask, in a tone that was heavily burdened by sadness and disappointment. The words she heard from her mother were something she tried to prepare herself to hear, and yet she still wasn't ready.
"He wants me to take control of the palace, in a way… That's not heard of before," Sara's mother paused, looking directly at William as if she was asking him in silence again about his offer and plan, "is that how confident you are about that?"
"I know what I'm talking about," William calmly smiled, "it's you who aren't confident in my words."
"Good one, but no, thanks, I won't believe someone from such a trash world to handle something about my palace," Sara's mother declined again, and that made William inwardly sigh.
"Stubborn as always, that's why you'll keep struggling and failing," he sighed, "you need to trust me on this. Just take a look around you, how come I managed to kill a force coming from the outer world? How did I manage to corner you to such a low point?"
"..."
His words made her mind snap out of all this and look at the entire situation in a different spotlight. Indeed, it was quite miraculous for someone from this world to do such a feat.
If someone told her before coming here that she'd end up losing everything and everyone on her side, and the one who'd make her lose all this was a youngster from the low world, she'd call him lunatic.
And yet this was what happened to her. And even if it was unbelievable, it still happened. She never asked herself how he managed to do it. And when he posed that question, she finally started to look at things from that angle.
"You… Got lucky…" Read new adventures at m_v-l'e|m,p| y- r
"Bullshit," William waved his arm, "look around you, even if tons more masters came from my world, they shouldn't be able to handle yours. Luck has nothing to do with what I accomplished, and you know that."
"Getting lucky once doesn't mean you'll be lucky all the time," Sara's mother didn't abandon her opinion about how William did it.
"Ok, let me then tell you something as a gift," William paused, before adding, "do you recall the crystal I gave you? Do you recall what was recorded there?"
"Don't remind me of that again!" Sara's mother faintly roared as if she was a wounded beast, "I'll kill you right now if you mention it again…"
"Just remember what was recorded on it," William didn't care about her threats, interrupted her as he added, "it was a recording about your ambition, but that wasn't the only thing recorded there, right?"
"I warned you…"
