"Tsk," Trevor was still thinking about how low he got from this deal. And just by looking at his face made William laugh.
"Don't forget," William suddenly added, "you are staying in the Royals! I bet you won't be able to set foot here ever in your life, not even to rent a normal room, right? Not to ntion the extravagant als you are going to get on my side. All this costs lots of money, you do know that, right?"
William's words left Trevor speechless for a few seconds before he lowered his head.
"Sorry boss, I won't make this mistake again."
Despite saying this, William knew he wasn't really honest in what he said and was still lanting his bad luck in not getting more from serving William.
As for Thomas, he kept his stone-cold face from the beginning to end. William smiled in amusent at the dark look over Trevor's face and moved his eyes around the guests in this lobby.
The place wasn't that crowded as the Golden Fork restaurant, but there were few seats filled here. William was sure most if not all were wealthy people with strong backgrounds in the fort or areas around.
They were all families, with old, middle aged, and young n and won sitting together. Each family had a group of dangerous looking guards, all giving William a dangerous vibe as ferocious beasts.
William looked at these few groups around and then at his little group of three and couldn't help but feel the clear disparity between the two sides.
"Wearing fancy clothes, even making out their hair! What the hell is wrong with everyone here?" William muttered to himself, while feeling a bit angry about all this.
This wasn't the proper life any spirit master should live. This was the life of spoiled brats and losers. Spirit masters had to be always prepared for the worst. And these folks here, despite being so strong, wealthy enough to hire strong folks guarding them, acted like paradise was going to land on this world and last forever.
William shifted his eyes away after reading through all these people. And as he examined them, they also checked him up.
They couldn't help but look at him in disdain and annoyance.
It seed like they were questioning the real purpose of William's presence here. He didn't look like soone who belonged to their extrely narrow circle, the elites, the selected exclusive rich and authoritative people in this fort.
Under their watchful gazes, whispering about the purpose of his presence here, the young manager who t William before ca with a big smile on his face.
"Look, Mark is going to kick them out!"
"That's just right. How co the guards out there let such beggars get in here?"
"I can't believe how low the security here gets! And they dared to claim they are the safest place in the entire fort!"
"That's why we have our own entourage."
William could hear the mocking tones and harsh words coming from different directions. But he didn't place any of that in his mind and stepped to welco the incoming Mark.
"Everything is ready, sir," Mark suddenly bowed, acting in extre respect towards William, "here, it's the extra crystals of your advance paynt. The ring is a humble gift from us."
William accepted the ring, to suddenly take out the entire crystals from inside, touch them and store them into one of his rings.
"Take this, it's a gift for following ," and as if he was tossing garbage on the side of the street, William threw that ring to Trevor. And the latter jumped literally to grab it.
"Thanks... Thanks master," Trevor was honest in his thanks this ti. And that little scene attracted everyone's attention and curiosity.
"He didn't fall even for this! What the heck is wrong with this kid?!!"
Just as Mark failed in his earlier attempts to spy on William, he decided to use a different thod. If he got anything else to spy on William, then the latter would place it inside his ring and seal it.
So Mark thought about giving William a ring, one with a tracking and spying inscription over it. It was sothing that no one would detect or remove. Not to ntion that the ring could bypass the fierce restrictions laid on William's room. And that was what made this idea brilliant in his eyes.
Who would throw away a ring? Rings were made to be worn. But against what he expected, William took the crystals out of the ring on the spot and tossed that ring to his servant.
That was totally unexpected! And for a second there, the manager stood his place motionless without knowing what to say or do.
He didn't get that the servant William tossed the ring towards was soone who knew literally nothing about him and was quite noisy and talkative. In William's eyes, this was the right punishnt for Mark and anyone standing behind them.
"Let them suffer, hear this dude's bullshit all the ti until they'd get a headache," William inwardly and evilly laughed while thinking to himself.
"Ahem," Mark cleared his throat, before motioning his head towards one direction, "please follow my man to your rooms, they are ready."
"Thanks," William smiled, a smile that wasn't one. He already knew sothing was wrong with this manager here, and he was trying everything to spy on him.
And that made William more vigilant about the room he was going to stay in. He decided to build arrays to isolate his actions inside, and also sever any connection of any spying tricks inside with the outside world.
This way, no matter how this dude or the ones behind him tried, they were going to end up with a big disappointnt in the end.
William moved with the other two after the servant who appeared after Mark's words. And just as William vanished from the lobby, the manager got surrounded by many of those sitting here, getting asked about what the heck just happened.
