Soon enough, those twenty masters started to issue such extravagant demands. Seeing this, the masters and leaders who didn't get why William acted this way and why the venerable and scary old man accepted such a rude attitude from this youth understood everything now.
"Please," William rolled his eyes, "anyone not accepting our terms, go back from where you came from. We don't welcome you!"
"You…"
"Do you want to die?"
*Roar!* *Roar!*
The next moment, William changed. He knew using words with such despicable masters wasn't going to work. The city got lucky to purge itself from the deeply rooted dirty seeds, and the last thing the city and its masters would need was for another batch of such low calibre forces to rise up in the city.
He didn't even flinch, activated his fox spirit and released his Charley. The sudden appearance of the two of them, coupled with the two terrifying roars took everyone here by surprise.
"Amazing indeed! I heard many rumours about you, never thought you are more awesome than all of what I heard," the old man's eyes shone in bright purple light, seemingly feeling excited about William and Charley.
His eyes stopped for a long minute over Charley, seemingly puzzled by the true nature of this behemoth.
"We…"
"You are going to leave now," William spoke in a very cold tone, with a voice that was so deep and scary to anyone hearing him, "we are facing a disaster, but that doesn't mean we are pushovers! We are fighting monsters that can let you piss your pants! Scram! You aren't welcomed here."
His words and attitude were all hostile, but that jolted others awake. Without the need to say anything, all of the masters and leaders who came here to help and join the city turned around, stood by William's and Charley's side, and glared in fierce ways towards the twenty despicable masters.
Such a situation came out of this group of masters' expectations. They thought by saying these words, they'd manage to stir up the greedy nature inside any master's spirit.
But they mistook and underestimated the current situation. The old man from the Loran family said it himself. They were here for an hour or so and watched how the masters of this city fought against the scary monsters. They also watched how Stark, and the high-end masters acted, listened to the ground shaking cheers from many masters there, asking to die fighting rather than live as cowards and run away.
Such little time was enough to shock everyone watching this, at least the ones who came to join the city with honest intentions. The image of the city and its masters rose high in their hearts, and they really admired such masters and the place which gave birth to them.
Greed? These despicable masters seemed to live in a world filled with tons of dirty equals, making them mistakenly believe the entire world was as rotten and filthy like them.
So, their pathetic attempt failed. Instead, it stirred up the fighting will inside these masters and leaders.
"O… Ok…"
"You… You are going to regret this!"
Many retreated in silence, but few issued little threats that William never placed in his eyes. The city was indeed broken and deeply hurt, but with all these leaders and masters, with their forces stationed behind, the city was going to rise up again.
So, what about threatening the city and its masters? Threatening him and others? William knew these were just empty threats, without any real backing behind them.
William watched them leave with their guards, before turning to the old man, "may I know the master's name?"
"I'm Zin," the old man never moved his eyes away from Charley, "won't you introduce your pet?"
William knew this old man kept squeezing his mind for any explanation about Charley's identity and origins, ending up with such a weird hypothesis.
Taking monsters as pets was indeed a fairy tale in this world. Many dreamt about this, taming the ferocious beasts and making them one's strongest ally.
William knew such a fairy tale was indeed true. In the outer world, there were masters who hailed from Taming families and bloodlines.
They could tame monsters under certain conditions. They could even teach others how to do it. But without their spirits and unique bloodline, the success rate dropped greatly without doubt.
"You can say that," William kept the identity of Charley to himself, "you can go and bring your armies now. You do know the current situation, and we'll hold the line until you come back," William was about to turn around and leave. But Zin stopped him with his stick.
"Our armies are already waiting at the other side of the portals. We'll send envoys and they'll arrive here in no time."
"Great, then please follow me," William got what this old man wanted. And just by understanding him like that, Zin knew William wasn't a simple youth at all.
Zin moved after William alongside other leaders and their guards. Just before they'd walk out of the portal area, William saw lots of masters coming from the portals.
Seeing this made him inwardly heave a sigh of relief. Saving this city was now a possible task.
He led everyone towards the direction of Lara. When Lara heard the brief of what happened from him, she couldn't help but look at him in an appreciative gaze.
If she was the one handling the discussion, then she'd have agreed on what these greedy folks demanded. But William seemed to see that coming and was ready beforehand about what he should say.
Lara then started to handle her responsibility as the leader of the Vancouf family, the current leader of the city. William stood by the side, leaving her to do what she wanted, and was more focused on the incoming armies of masters.
Floods of masters came out from the portals, filled the streets of the city, went in all directions, boarded the walls and started to help in fighting off the hounds.
