Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Chapter 354 Truly shameless!

Chapter 354 Truly shameless!

Steven gradually understood the true meaning behind William's intentional conflict with the members of the Emerald Lion Guild previously.

This was real deterrence!

Without even resorting to physical force, he had successfully intimidated two Demi-God level powerhouses.

Such a tactic undoubtedly enhanced the prestige and authority of the 13th Bureau.

After much reflection, Steven became more convinced of William's extraordinary intelligence and strength, which were unmatched by ordinary people.

Little did he know that William's outburst at the gate was mainly out of boredom, just looking to stir up some fun.

One of the two Emerald Lion Guild members at the outermost gate, a "Chosen One," simply wanted to provoke trouble, hoping to incite a fight with Alice and add a bit of challenge to her 'game'.

It was entirely a wicked sense of amusement from a master.

As for deterrence...

William typically was straightforward, without much cunning or scheming.

If he knew of Steven's conjectures, he would probably be quite impressed by his imagination.

"Guild Leader Garen, our visit is to suggest that if the Emerald Lion Guild wishes to recruit members, please publish a notice to the whole world. Clarify the conditions for joining the guild and standardize the time for recruiting apprentices to prevent ordinary people from flocking here, causing unnecessary social unrest," Steven said.

After Steven finished speaking, Garen nodded and asked, "That sounds very reasonable. Is there anything else?"

Garen couldn't help but be puzzled. With Alice coming in person and causing such a commotion, surely it wasn't just for such a trivial matter, right?

Could it be that they wanted the Emerald Lion Guild to merge into the 13th Bureau?

That would be outrageous!

As the leader of a major Soulmancer guild, if Steven made such a demand, Garen would rather die than agree.

Steven paused, then said, "Additionally, I suggest that all major Soulmancer guilds establish a protective magical barrier around their territories. This would serve to conceal the guilds and prevent ordinary people from accidentally wandering in."

In the past, major Soulmancer organizations also did this, as no Guild wanted to become a tourist destination for ordinary people.

The Arcane Society was an exception, given that Glacier National Park was already a famous tourist spot, so they didn't prevent ordinary people from going up the mountain.

"This... this should be done..." Garen seemed a bit bewildered and then asked, "Is there anything else?"

"That's all," Steven replied, his smile carrying a hint of awkwardness.

"That's all?" Garen's left eyebrow raised in surprise.

Is that it?

Steven nodded, confirming again that this was indeed the purpose of their visit today.

At this moment, Alice opened her mouth to speak: "Guild Leader Garen..."

This call made Garen tense up again, anticipating some more serious business.

"Master, do you have any instructions?"

Alice paused, then said, "Why don't you gather the leaders of all the major Soulmancer guilds and discuss this matter with them? We'd rather not visit each guild individually."

"Ah?" Garen's face was a picture of confusion throughout.

In his view, this was something they were going to do over the next few days anyway, and all major Soulmancer organizations would do it even without Alice's reminder. Was it really necessary for Alice to personally say it?

"Is there a problem?" Alice's heartbeat quickened a bit. After all, she was speaking to a Demi-God level powerhouse with such brazenness, wasn't she afraid of being rebuked?

"No problem, I'll get right on it!" Garen, quick-witted, thought Alice might want to gather all the guild leaders to announce something important.

Given Alice's status, visiting each guild individually was impossible, so delegating this task to him seemed appropriate.

"Please wait a moment!"

The Demi-God level powerhouses, with their powerful telepathic abilities, could almost instantly spread their consciousness across the entire world.

Garen used his telepathy to send messages to all Guilds, inviting all Demi-God level powerhouses to come to the Emerald Lion Guild.

Alice and the others were in the Emerald Lion Guild's hall.

After Garen had notified all the Demi-God level powerhouses, he ordered his disciples to serve them American coffee.

During this time, he couldn't help but glance at William, feeling a deep sense of discontent towards him.

He thought of William as someone who relied on the power of others.

If it weren't for Alice's formidable strength, Garen would have loved to end this arrogant fellow with a single sword strike.

William sat there nonchalantly, picked up the coffee next to him, elegantly blew on it, and took a sip, finding the taste quite ordinary.

All the disciples of the Emerald Lion Guild secretly mocked him for his affectation.

Compared to William's arrogant demeanor, Alice and Steven appeared more restrained.

Steven sat there, his hands on his thighs, smiling at the disciple who served the tea, but he didn't drink it.

Alice, now bearing the title of a peerless powerhouse, sneaked a glance at William and reluctantly followed suit.

Naturally, Garen didn't want to offend Alice, but the other members of his guild were growing increasingly resentful towards William.

As a novice Soulmancer, William was acting even more arrogantly than the Demi-God level big shots.

"This coffee isn't brewed well," William put down his cup, critiquing it.

He had come to train Alice, but she had been lackadaisical, even letting Steven do all the talking. How could that be acceptable?

At William's comment, a wave of collective outrage surged among those present.

A guild member, who had already reached their limit of tolerance at the entrance, mustered courage, stepped forward, and then turned to William, challenging, "Since you seem to have time on your hands, how about we have a contest?"

William had previously defeated Victor, and Garen was already dissatisfied with him.

William's arrogant attitude at the entrance and now his pickiness about the coffee in the hall were enough to anger even the most patient person.

When a guild member stood up to challenge William, Garen, although ostensibly reprimanding him by saying, "Bradley! How can you challenge a guest?" carefully glanced at Alice while speaking. To his surprise, Alice showed no displeasure,instead, there seemed to be a hint of excitement in her eyes.

Bradley's task was to become Alice's lover, and now the opportunity to perform was right in front of him. How could a novice Soulmancer compare to him?

He believed that by making William lose face, Alice would surely no longer favor him.

Doesn't Alice know what kind of temperament her master has?

Making others deliberately uncomfortable, attracting hatred, and constantly pushing her into fights – this time, let him fight for himself!

"I think this proposal is good! We can have a friendly competition." Alice's eyes narrowed slightly, her playful spirit aroused, wanting to see what William was planning to do.

William glanced at Bradley, recognizing him as the "Chosen One." His provocations were all aimed at seeking trouble with him.

In such a setting today, should he kill him or not?

That would depend on Bradley's specific performance.

"A novice Soulmancer like me, and you want to spar with me?" William looked at Bradley with a gaze filled with disdain.

Bradley was almost infuriated to death!

You're so arrogant yet you acknowledge you're a novice Soulmancer?

A novice Soulmancer behaving so arrogantly?

Anyone who didn't know better might think you're a Quasi-Deity!

Alice turned her head away, actor!

Her master was just an actor!

Still calling himself a novice Soulmancer!

Pah!

Truly shameless!
