Chapter 1247: Offence Is Better Than Defence
Chapter 1247: Offence Is Better Than Defence
"Screw the deal, I ordered you to bring the girls over, useless scum!" Sara's mother was brimming with immense rage at this moment.
She didn't want to recruit the girls over to the palace, she wanted them as hostages in case Jacky failed. She planned to have a leverage over William, chips she could use to negotiate with that stubborn young master.
But now all this was done for. William killed Jacky it seemed, and now Jenny didn't get any girl back with her.
This quite frustrated Sara's mother way more than Jenny imagined. Even William couldn't guess this ulterior goal, didn't get he was saved a ton of trouble thanks to Jenny's help.
"Useless, they are all trash," Sara's mother kicked the seat in the middle of her rage, throwing it for tens of metres in the air, "if you want to do something, do it yourself. It seems I have to go back to that flat chest girl again…"
Yet this time she was doomed to fail. From far, Jenny could hear the loud screams of rage coming from Sara's mother's direction.
"I don't know what I did, but it seems bringing those girls over wasn't just for the palace," Jenny evilly grinned, before her friend showed up.
It was the one she sent to warn William. The master didn't say anything, just nodded and kept walking away from her. "A cold bastard indeed," Jenny muttered to herself, but she wasn't feeling that bad towards this master.
She could tell he was also a good man deep inside his spirit. If not for the fear of Sara's mother to sneak peek on her, Jenny would have gone and tried her luck with that master, trying to recruit him over to work with her against the palace.
But time wasn't right yet, and she didn't want to risk making such big moves in the presence of such a demoness.
Far away from here, William wasn't aware of any of this. He dropped looking for Jenny, imagining she never came near the town in the first place.
"This can't keep going," William knew Sara's mother was restricted in a way, or else she'd have come to claim his life herself.
He didn't know what stopped her from breaking such a restriction, but staying in the town and waiting for her to keep coming at him wasn't an idea he liked.
So he returned back to the mansion, closed the door on himself, and started to deeply consider how to provoke her and make her in the defensive position.

He knew her location, but trying to go directly to her wasn't a wise move. "If she wanted, she could have simply killed everyone back then. It seems she is restricted to not killing if she wasn't attacked first…"
The only way to annoy her was by trying to see what she would do and foil it. The only thing he knew for sure was her desire to acquire Sara, which was something not that useful to William.
"Unless…" his eyes shone brightly before he thought about something, "if I sent her away, to her grandfather perhaps, then her mother will be forced to move out and act out of plans…"
What he thought of was to slowly chip down the masters she brought with from the outer world. This way he'd corner her at a tight spot, and perhaps would force her to accept his terms.
And yet when he was about to go deeper into this idea, setting plans and stuff, someone came into his room uninvited.
"Moore?!" William was surprised to see the master he left underground to train, "what brought you over here?"
"I came to tell you what I learnt," Moore's face showed his hesitation, "that master, the one you told me to find his location… He isn't from this world!"
"Ah, I know that already…" William thought Moore wanted to speak about something important, and yet when he heard what Moore said, he dropped all interest in listening.
"Not that alone, that man is part of a large group of masters who use the same weird methods you used before…"
"Yeah yeah, I already know that…"
"Do you also know he got summoned here today?" Moore could tell William wasn't interested in listening, so he dropped the biggest thing he learnt from Jacky's memories.
"Oh, you saw that?!" This time William's interest revived, "tell me everything you saw."
"Not that much…" Moore wasn't lying, he was in a hurry back then to see where that dying master was. He just saw glimpses of Jacky's memories, and from them he saw him moving through the portal underground and coming to this world.
"Hmm, that's quite annoying," after Moore said everything he had, William sat in the room alone, reconsidering the idea he had before meeting Moore, "it won't do, she can get as much help as she can from the outer world…"
William remained silent, considering all options he had. The biggest strike he could think of was going to the underground city, destroying all the supporting arrays he painstakingly made before.
This hit would flip the table over Sara's mother, but it was like stabbing someone with his sword. William threw this idea behind his back, and started to think about something else.
"Jenny!" After hours of thinking and contemplating different ideas, William finally found something that he could use to threaten Sara's mother, "I need to get her first on my side…"
He planned to do it already, but this time he missed meeting her. And now the goal of getting her on his side changed. "It's time to use that recording crystal, hehehe!"
The more he thought about that idea, the more he became excited about executing it. Doing this would leave Sara's mother no other way but to either come and kill him personally, or succumb to his desires and surrender that precious thing over.
"I need to find a way to contact her," William knew Jenny must be in the underground city.
