Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master



But now things had changed. He gathered up his vices, informed them about the change in plans. He briefed them about what happened in the meeting, and his viewpoint about the upcoming future of the guild branch here.

"So, we are going to wait here for another week?" Ibra looked at everyone and could see surprise covering up their faces as well, "we thought…"

"We have to stay behind," William also imagined himself going out tomorrow with everyone. But he had to stay behind and arrange the new branch of his guild.

The task that he took as being easy and simple just got complicated. "We are going to do this… First go out and make a survey. See what other impacts and forces here offer to their members. Also take a tour around the places with secondary professions, check on their wages and proficiency. Purchase few of their products as well…"

William started to spread his orders. If he got the ability to move around, he'd do many of these himself. But he was now a wanted figure in the entire city by many forces. And he had to lay low for now.

So he entrusted everything to his vices and Black Tails team. Everyone went around to start doing their tasks, while William remained in his room thinking about the next step he had to take.

Back at the Scorching Lands fort, he used the high pay offer to lure many masters to his guild. Not to mention he made a brilliant performance back at the Fox Lair and later on in the big war.

But here he started on the wrong foot. He stirred up the enmity of everyone in the city, except for the Vancouf family, against him. Even inside that family, not all of their members were on his side.

"Using just wealth won't do… I need to think of a way to lure many masters here…" William stayed for hours contemplating this problem. But he knew he lacked lots of knowledge about this place to find a good idea.

"I have to wait for Lara to finish that meeting," he decided to wait. And just as he waited, he kept making more of the substance he planned to use in the next adventure of his.

Lara didn't show up until the next morning. It seemed the meeting went crazy by the clash between the two elders.

"Hmm… So that elder Larry managed to pass Richard as the temporary leader in the end," William was in his room, with Lara sitting in front of him. Just from the look over her face, it was clear how deeply exhausted she was.

"We tried everything, but for a reason that elder was adamant in making that jerk the temporary leader," she didn't need to hold back her emotions and thoughts anymore and spoke in a tone that was filled with lots of hatred.

"What type of a man this Richard is?" William could tell how dirty Larry was. But he felt like the real threat was coming from Richard, not Larry.

Richard gave everyone the impression that he was peaceful and weak, just a puppet in the hands of others. Such people were usually the most toxic and dangerous out there in the world, the hardest to deal with. And something told William that this master was going to be a tough enemy to crush.

"Well… He wasn't in the top list of names who competed with me at the end for the position of the leader," she paused, before sighing, "in fact, he didn't show any remarkable features or anything special in the past. I can't believe Larry selected him to be the temporary leader."

"Hmm…" William knew he didn't get much about this young man from what she said. In his eyes, this snake hid himself quite deep, even tricking those who should have known him the best, "did you interact with him before? He is part of your family, right?"

"He was an easy-going kid, one who can befriend everyone and not have any conflicts with any," she sighed, "just selecting him is something weird. Larry is someone who kept standing against me since I started to run for the leadership of the family. Yet there are other names who can rival or threaten me, not Richard."

"The most dangerous person is always the one you least expect to be," William paused, "so in brief, you only have a good impression about him… That's weird, right?"

"Or Larry made a grave mistake in selecting him."

"I believe he is more capable, far more dangerous, than what you take him for. Watch out for him anyway. As for Larry… I believe he is just a fake front," William didn't share her point of view about Richard, "I want to ask you about this city, I need to know lots of information about it."

"What do you need to know? Ah, before I forget, here is the licence of your place," she handed a scroll over, and William saw a place that was ten kilometres in space, "you have to pay ten billion crystals for it."

"Sure," William wasn't lacking anything regarding wealth. He paid her the fees, before listening to what she had to say about this city.

After speaking with her for three hours, he learned nothing special about this place than what he already knew. This city was just like the Scorching Lands fort, mainly providing services for those passing by masters.

The most important feature about this place was the portal zone. Aside from this, nothing stood out.

"It seems it will grow slowly," after he said goodbye to Lara, he sat in his room while recalling everything she mentioned before.

This place didn't lack in terms of wealth, connections, resources, and even products. Be it potions, elixirs, and gears… They were available in large quantities and high grades.

William knew his special products were able to cause a stir here. But that would take a long time.
