Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 375 A Trap!

"I got another gem."

"Where?" William paused, before adding, "and please, ask her first before giving me any promises you can't fulfil."

"Who said it's a girl?" The man went speechless for a second there, recalling what he initially thought about William's intentions when the latter expressed his weird demand, "it's him! And he has no say in this. I own him, and he will go with you."

The man pointed towards Thomas, who was standing with a hard face that showed nothing of his true emotions or thoughts at the moment.

William looked at Thomas, while controlling his excitement to not appear on his face. He didn't want to ruin the perfect set up that man just fell into.

William didn't want that girl named Rose, never even spared her a glance. From the first moment he saw her, and he could tell how badly spoiled she was. She wasn't weak, almost at the high stage silver grade or even might be half a step away from the gold grade. But strength wasn't everything in this world.

William could tell how bad she was as a spirit master. She was one of the types that would stand in front of danger, not preparing herself to fight, and instead would crawl on the ground and cry.

She reminded him of the earlier weird situation he met back at the forest outside. The spirit masters there were quite numerous, very strong, and yet they were running scared from the bunch of much fewer dark spirit masters hunting them.

William thought this was thanks to the spies the dark spirit masters infiltrated before. But he now realised this wasn't the root of the problem, the people living here were.

They got used to such safety and comfort to even forget about sharpening the blades of their weapons. They were strong, had lots of things that other spirit masters didn't, and yet they were quite fragile and weak.

William sat his eyes from the start over Thomas. He could tell this talented youth was in the grasp of this man. And trying to take him out from here was going to be problematic.

But when William listened out of his curiosity to the life story of this man, a flash of an idea appeared in his mind. And he started to work on this idea, until he finally managed to get what he wanted.

He didn't just get the land he wanted as a base for his team, but also, he got Thomas. And the most important thing was that he didn't steal him away but drove that man to take the initiative and offer Thomas over willingly.

He even made that man quite appreciative for William to accept Thomas instead of his daughter, even close to owing him a favour!

"Hmm…" Despite wanting to jump out and raise his fist in the air celebrating his success, he still controlled himself quite well and feigned his struggle to accept this.

"He is quite capable, a true gem," The man started to speak about the good points about Thomas, trying to make William agree.

At the end of his talk, the one that William didn't need at all, this man was quite close to pleading with William to accept Thomas.

"Ok, I'll accept this one… With four more others," William suddenly raised his hand, fanned his fingers apart, "five gems in exchange for the one I sat my eyes on before and ran away."

It wasn't William's fault to act greedy here. The man acted in a very pathetic way, making William feel more greed to get more followers than just Thomas.

"This… I will need a week or so to prepare the other four but… Deal!" the man hesitated for a second, and William responded with a change in his face showing his satisfaction.

"Great," William just tried to extort this man for more, an idea that just flashed in his mind on the spot. He never thought that this man was quite resourceful, having lots of gems on his side, "once you are ready, just let me know. I'm going to stay at a hotel here for the time being."

William took out one of his Bullets, handed it over, and received one from the man as well.

"I'm called Alfonso, and you can use this to tell me any urgent thing you need," the man paused, "but I have to tell you this, if your knowledge didn't prove to be worthy, then all this…"

"I know what I'm doing," William acted like an adult, firmly cutting the man in the middle of his words with a confident tone, "just prepare the land and the building as I asked and let me know. The other four gems will wait for one week, but I'll fulfil my promise and tell you the way after getting the papers of the land and building. As for these… Do you still need them?"

William motioned his head towards the pile of cores he took out before.

"Sure, give me a minute," the man excused himself, leaving the table while everyone's eyes were fixated over a single one over it, William.

"Damn! Did this really happen?!!!" from the side, Ro who kept holding her breath out of disbelief, couldn't help but take a deep breath, before shouting in such a loud way.

"You were just watching everything from the first seat," William rolled his eyes, "do you now suspect my ability to get that necklace for you?"

"Not in the slightest," unlike her usual behaviour, this time her face didn't change or got darker or something.

"What happened to you?" William was puzzled about her weird and sudden calmness.

"Tell me, have you set your eyes on my girls?"

"Ahem!" her answer came out of William's expectations, to perfectly nail his real intentions from toying with her.

"I knew it!" and just from the abrupt changes over his face, she knew she guessed it right, "you… You have a great appetite; do you know that?"
