Chapter 297  Volunteer Service?

Chapter 297  Volunteer Service?

William clearly hadn't fallen into Jeffrey's mental illusion, but he pretended as if he had.

Especially Jeffrey, upon witnessing William's strength, originally thought he was just a novice Soulmancer. Yet William easily broke through Jeffrey's mental illusion. This ability seemed to hide some secret. For a moment, Jeffrey couldn't fully comprehend William's true capabilities.

As long as Alice didn't flee, Jeffrey believed he could continue the standoff. He was confident that the 13th Bureau would soon notice the anomaly and arrive shortly.

Meanwhile, William stood quietly, motionless, making Jeffrey hesitant to act rashly against him.

Alice, however, was completely trapped in Jeffrey's mental illusion, unable to extricate herself. Unaware that her soul was bound, she clearly felt the changes in her surroundings. Jeffrey seemed to have become a giant titan, her being tightly grasped in his colossal hand. No matter how she tried to escape, it felt like wandering in an endless world. This hand appeared to connect the entire universe, vast and boundless.

"Alice's consciousness was exceptionally clear; she wasn't afraid at all. "Is this like the legendary power of a titan?I don't want to be trapped here!" she mused to herself.

She firmly believed that, even though she couldn't see William, he must be right beside her. With her master around, everything would be fine. She thought that all of this was just a test from William.

She quickly reviewed what William had taught her, realizing that everything she was experiencing likely wasn't the real world.

How could she break free from this giant hand?

Alice's soul struggled in the mental illusion, trying to find a way to escape.

Outside, Jeffrey couldn't help but say to William, "Enough with the acting, you can stop pretending now!"

This sight was somewhat embarrassing to watch.

William could only look at him helplessly, this guy had no sense of humor.

"What exactly are you?" Jeffrey, being a mid-level Soulmancer, was puzzled as his illusions had no effect on the man before him. This made him deeply contemplative.

Could it be that this young man's true strength was extraordinarily high?

Or did he possess some sort of magical artifact?

William said cheerfully, "I'm just a novice Soulmancer. You don't need to overthink it. Your mental illusion can't trap me, probably because my mental strength is different from ordinary people."

"By the way, do you understand what mental strength is?"

Jeffrey looked at William expressionlessly, trying to see through his strength but found that no matter how he looked, William seemed just like a novice Soulmancer.

As for having strong mental strength?!

How strong could a novice Soulmancer's mental strength be?

"Why did you harm someone without cause?" Jeffrey was already tired of William's nonsensical talk and said, "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are a Soulmancer."

William responded with a smile, "The person I injured is also a Soulmancer, and he was the first to attack me. Isn't it normal to get hurt if his skills are inferior?"

"Then just wait here. I'll notify the staff of the 13th Bureau. Explain these disputes to them." Jeffrey, who lived a secluded life as an ordinary person, preferred not to get involved in conflicts. It was best to leave these issues for the 13th Bureau staff to handle.

"I am a staff member of the 13th Bureau." As he spoke, William tossed the work badge Wes had given him to Jeffrey.

Jeffrey caught the badge and looked at it carefully, then said with righteous indignation, "Then this is a case of knowing the law and breaking it."

William wasn't upset and said, "The room is under surveillance, so a check will reveal the truth. You will surely report the matter truthfully to the 13th Bureau. There's no point in lying to you."

Jeffrey was silent for a moment, realizing that William made sense. Besides, once the incident was reported, the 13th Bureau would certainly investigate, making lies futile.

"I'll take your word for it this time."

As Jeffrey was about to dispel the mental illusion, William quickly said, "Don't rush, let her break free on her own."

"You're oversimplifying things!" Jeffrey confidently said, "Since you know this is a mental illusion, you should realize that unless I dispel it, she won't be able to come out of it!"

Jeffrey said this with great assurance. His power was superior to Alice's, and once such a high-level illusion was cast, it was virtually impossible for her to escape.

Absolutely impossible...

William looked at him and smiled without saying a word.

Jeffrey, a reclusive illusionist with a generally good temperament, felt provoked by William's smile, "You must have some special magical artifact on you. That doesn't count."

"Shall we wait and see?" William himself didn't quite believe that Alice could break Jeffrey's mental illusion, knowing all too well his disciple's limitations. But it was important to give her a chance.

If she could escape on her own, she would undoubtedly gain some valuable insights.

"Fine by me," Jeffrey said coolly, "Since you're with the 13th Bureau, why don't you call Deputy Director Wenzel here? If the girl hasn't escaped from the mental illusion by the time Deputy Director Wenzel arrives, I'll release her. But then you'll have to do volunteer service for a month at the Asa Church gathering place nearby."

Volunteer service for a month at the Asa Church gathering place?

A sense of unease arose in William's heart. He really didn't want to be forced into doing volunteer service at the Asa Church gathering place.

However, since Jeffrey had proposed this condition, he didn't back down and responded, "Fine. But if she escapes before Deputy Director Wenzel arrives, then you have to wear a superhero costume in the city center and perform a little magic show for passersby."

William could see that, although the man in front of him had distanced himself from his past lifestyle, he still retained a sense of seriousness and self-control. Forcing such a person to do something unusual in public would undoubtedly be an interesting change.

Jeffrey's face changed slightly, clearly taken aback by the punishment, but he eventually gritted his teeth and agreed, "Alright!"

The two men made their bet, and William immediately called Wes, saying that he had injured someone at the Savor Sanctuary restaurant and was being held there, asking him to come and help.

Wes said he would arrive soon, but after waiting for over two hours, there was still no sign of him. Alice stood there like a statue, sweating profusely. Many people at the elevator entrance wanted to pass but were stopped by Jeffrey's barrier, thinking they had encountered a paranormal event, and fled in panic.

William looked at Alice, thinking how foolish she was, unable to break a mere mental illusion.

Had all the swordsmanship secrets he taught her been in vain?

If Odin, the creator of the mental illusion, knew that William's direct disciple was trapped in it, William wondered if he would be pleased or terrified.

In the past, it was well known that William the Obliterator was fiercely protective of his disciples. If anyone dared to harm even a hair on his disciple's head, they would face his towering rage.

Using the mental illusion created by Odin, he trapped William's disciple and even made a bet with William. If he wins, he wants William to do a month of volunteer service at a nearby Asa religious

ritual site. Which deity would dare to let him do a month of volunteer service?
