YM778.TV Chapter 473 Punishment
"Master! Master! At last, I found you, hahahahaha!"
Just before William would retort back over such words of Ibra, he heard loud shouts and screams coming from a direction.
And when he turned to see who was coming, he saw Trevor running like mad from the far distance, waving his arms like he found a straw while drowning or something.
"Do you know him?" John asked, and William nodded.
"Just someone who I sent to do something," William paused before a broad smile appeared on his face, "and it seems he really did it."
"Was it this hard to do?" The ones standing around felt more puzzled but soon enough Trevor appeared. He stopped just a single metre away from William, racing his breaths while panting.
"Master… Master… I did it! Hahahaha! You asked for a hundred and I brought hundreds! Hahahaha! Trevor is a good boy, right? Trevor deserves a reward, right?"
"Just stop it right there," William laughed, taking one spirit gem from his rings and giving it to the stupefied Trevor, "take this as a reward for what you did and what you\'ll do."
"This…" Trevor got silenced and petrified in his place for a moment before jumping literally to grab the spirit gem, "thanks, thanks master. I\'ll do anything, anything you ask me."
"Cool," William grinned when he saw how enthusiastic Trevor was. To him, paying one million spirit crystals was like giving tips, "I want you to do the same, recruit as many as you can."
"I will recruit until this place is crowded, hahahaha!" Trevor jumped in the air while laughing, running away to do what William asked for. As for everyone else, they kept looking at themselves, feeling the shock everyone had inside from such extravagant pay William just did.
"So…" William turned finally to those new faces, "what\'s special about all of you then?"
Saying this made these spirit masters feel like they were in an auction, and someone was measuring their value or something.
"Ahem, they are all silver and gold grade," Sara coughed before adding, "but they are indeed special. All of their elements are rare and unique ones. For example, there are lava based, ice based, metal based, and even darkness, light, and lightning-based spirit elements in them."
"Oh, really?" William\'s eyes shone brightly before adding, "Come, let them test their spirits using the crystal way."
"We already tested them," Berry interfered, "but if you want to do it again then it\'s ok."
"That saves me lots of time then," William was glad that his unique way in assessing spirit power became a standard in his team. Like this, he didn\'t have to explain anything to anyone, "take out your crystals and candles, stand in one line, and start assessing your spirits one by one and let me examine the balls when you are done."
The fifty something spirit masters stood in one line in the next few minutes, and then a round of assessment started. Just as Sara and Berry said, they all got rare spirit elements.
But William didn\'t find any extremely rare elements like time, space, karma, luck, curse, illusion, dream, and such. That didn\'t baffle him, as he already knew it was an exception to find people with such elements in the first place here in this tiny world, like it was the case at the outer world.
Even in the outer and vast world, finding such elements was a big hurdle in itself. Entire generations might pass without having a single spirit master with any of these elements.
"Great," William was satisfied in general by such results, "let\'s prepare then. You have ten hours before we\'ll go out on an adventure."
"Are we going to fight?" Sara asked in doubt.
"You… You never like to stay indoors, right?" Ibra sighed, "let\'s go, from my knowledge of you, you are going to do something crazy."
"Come on! You already made a grave mistake and need little discipline," William rolled his eyes. And when everyone looked at him in a weird way, he explained what they did wrong when they met Ben.
"Come on! Don\'t put it on us like this!" Sara said in annoying tone, "he is a f*cking dark gold spirit master, one at the pinnacle as well! How do you expect us to hide anything off him?"
"You should have kept your mouth sealed tight," William didn\'t see in her argument anything worthy of note, "you told him everything about me!"
"We… We just said things in general," Ibra paused, "we tried to glorify your image and name, and spoke out of our pure admiration and respect for you. Don\'t take it on the kids, they just did it for your sake."
"That\'s why I won\'t punish any of you," William already guessed this part before, "but that doesn\'t mean you are off the hook! You are going to slightly suffer in the upcoming adventure and take it as a form of a lesson to not do such a thing again."
"Tsk! Let\'s go guys, he is just a hard boss to deal with," Ibra sighed, while Sara led everyone away while saying these words in disapproval of William\'s decision.
But as he decided, they didn\'t have any say at all in any of this. And partially inside everyone\'s minds, they knew they really did it bad by spilling out a lot.
They agreed on what William said, but hoped he\'d go easy on them and not simply throw them in front of a monster or dark spirit master army or something.
William simply smiled and watched them move towards the direction of the gate. He already decided to go out, start killing monsters, assess the new team he got, and test the few sites he learnt about.
