From Lara's words, the final word in such a deal wasn't in her hands, but elders. So, he had to wait for the upcoming eting with them, before he'd finalise his plans about this weapon.
To not let himself get stuck with this, he decided to adapt another solution. It wasn't a strong weapon like what he intended to make, but it was enough to cause trouble to the enemies they were going to face later on.
William didn't stay up for long. He already had another idea that didn't require lots of special materials. All the materials could be found in this tiny world, but he had to add little touches to make sure things wouldn't go astray.
The next day he fetched one of the team to purchase the materials he needed. He didn't risk going out himself or send his vices whose faces were known by now to the forces in the city.
The ss he created took five entire days from Lara to settle. In the end, Lara and her family had to use lots of assets in return to silence the enraged shouts of other forces.
But that was just for the weak forces. For the other families, Lara's family faced a tough situation. It wasn't until William contacted her on the fourth day and got to know about her current dilemma.
"Why overthink too much when you can make a fortune out of it?" he laughed before telling her an idea that solved everything.
As her family got access to the Lost City, why wouldn't they specify quotas and sell these to the other families? Like this, other families would have to pay extra fees to get access again to the Lost City. besides such access would be just temporary, for limited ti. And the Vancouf family would just absorb such heat for now, before cutting all access towards the Lost City later on.
William didn't fear for anyone to get access to the interworld portal for now. He already left lots of formations around, and he'd just leave sothing behind for the one who'd take charge of his guild's branch here.
William knew he had to leave soone of his Black Tails team to lead and organise things here. And William prepared a special item for him. Using this item, the one leading the branch would gain total control over the formations in the Lost City.
He planned to select just a normal mber of his elite team. Any mber in the team was enough to be a leader of this branch. But before he'd leave, he had to be sure that the mber knew how to use this item.
He also planned to leave behind lots of instructions, plans, resources, and above all formulas, designs, and even tons of spirit crystals to make this branch skyrocket in no ti.
As for the Lost City, he would leave behind a schedule and plans for his team mber left behind to activate the formations on them. Doing it this way would train everyone getting access to the Lost City to just avoid the places that could lead to the interworld portal. And if anyone grew curious, they'd end up dead in the end.
William then spent an entire day and night preparing everything for his man. He already left the task of selecting him over to his vices and focused on taking care of the most urgent things.
By the end of the fifth day, Lara finally sent him the good news. She and her family elders managed to settle things out with other forces. Of course, this cost them a lot, but it was still worth it.
According to her, the elders and many high figures in the family were already thrilled by such changes. William learnt from her about that old dream. Many high figures dreamt about taking full control over the Lost City, sothing that he accidentally did.
[So, are you ready now to et us or what?] she ended her talk with him through the Bullets by asking this.
"Oh, not now," he looked at all the scrolls he prepared, "let's et tomorrow at night. You go and rest, you deserve it."
[Ok] she thought he was just worried about her, not knowing that he also was tired.
"At least everything went as planned," William stretched his arms, knowing this was just a temporary solution for what yet to co. He wanted to not share this city with anyone. So, he got two choices in front of him, both were hard to achieve, both needed lots of ti and preparations from him.
He'd either end up fighting the Vancouf family, a choice that seed the most logical one to happen. But he also knew how hard this ending would be.
The Vancouf family was already strong in the city. After these changes, they'd grow far stronger, and would end up strengthening their hold on the city.
So fighting with them ant fighting against the entire forces here. And that ant William had to strengthen his guild forces, bid his ti for as long as it took, before clashing with them.
Or… He could just add Lara into his team and guild, ending up absorbing the Vancouf family and make it the first subsidiary family to join his guild.
Having such an end would be just perfect. He'd not just save himself and his guild a war that he didn't want to start, save tons of lives and even the entire city from death and ruins, but he'd also gain a strong family to his guild.
pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ Yet to do so, he had to plan tons of things ahead. And on top of all, he had to see first how this family ran.
He wasn't the only smart one in the world. He expected that so sneaky elders and higher ups would have the sa thoughts as him. And that ant their stance would appear in that eting.
He planned to use the upcoming eting with those elders to get a glimpse on the current situation of Lara in the family.
