Chapter 525 Going To The Fox Lair
Chapter 525 Going To The Fox Lair
"Tsk! Just lower your head this time and agree to join," Ibra waved his glaive in the air a couple of times, "just think about it. What's the point in refusing to stretch out your muscles and fight bunches of weaklings for a change?"
"..."
William watched Ibra walk away, leaving him all alone.
"I hate you two…" William recalled the fierce and explosive meeting he had with these two girls' grandparents.
First of all, the two girls walked out of the academy without telling anyone about their move. The two grandfathers of theirs were busy dealing with the dark spirit masters around the academy back at that time. It was expected how deeply shocked they got when they received the news about the grand war that happened at the Scorching Lands fort, with their beloved granddaughters being in the heart of all this.
On top of that, they got to mobilise the entire academy and its affiliated clans away from here. They didn't just migrate, but also merged with three other academies, forming the brand-new Golden Stardust academy.
The two came in a ferocious storm, no lesser than the grand war William experienced before. The latter had to face the two old men's rage, alongside Berry's father's wrath as well.
In the end, and after a long and heated discussion, one that even Panther and many of the grand figures in the fort took part in to control the situation, William promised to send the two girls and everyone in his team to take part in the upcoming contest.
But he never promised to take part in such a useless thing. He was trying to use every single second and train, using every chance he got to get stronger.
"I went to train for a few months… Time to check over the entire guild then," William pushed away such thoughts, and started to walk outside.
This headquarter of the guild was divided internally into two different and separate giant spaces. One was allocated for the various spirit masters who joined the guild to train and do various missions, and the other was for the secondary professions.
William started the secondary profession department by the deal he did with The Blue Hammer and the Seven Heaven groups. And now he expanded this, absorbing not only these two groups, but more than twenty more groups like them.
And that wasn't all. He even started other subsections like the miners and chefs. Right now, the secondary department was filled with lots of spirit masters, producing tons of products on a daily basis.
Large portion of these products weren't for sale. William kept storing special items since he started up this department. He was preparing for a grand battle where he'd have to use such products in it.
Even if he did that, hiding and storing the most valuable items away from any outsider, the other commonly produced products were getting the hype from different places in the kingdom and even the entire continent.
Many merchants came here and purchased these products, believing they were the strongest ever produced from the guild.
And they got a point in believing so. Many of these products were new products and didn't have an equal in the entire world.
That wasn't all. Even when these merchants returned back and tried to reverse engineer these items, in an attempt to save themselves time and wealth, they failed.
Be it gears, potions, elixirs… Down even to the food produced by the chefs in the guild, nothing could be copied and produced away from the guild.
As William started his grand tour here, he got satisfied with the development of the entire guild.
The good progress wasn't just limited to the secondary profession department. William already supplied the other department with lots of training manuals and fighting techniques, many of which he gained from the grand loot from the grand war.
He modified all of them of course and took nearly a couple of weeks to do so. But it wasn't the same as the time he took to go through all the rings he acquired from that battle.
Back then, he spent nearly two months getting everything out and organising his loot. To him, he got enough wealth to live like a king for the rest of his life, for many lives actually. But the first thing he did was to go out, purchase a few pieces of land, spending a fortune in the process.
He didn't only stop there and started ordering tons of materials from the Refos group. Right now, the Big Seven conglomerate was gone, and only the Big three existed, with Refos, his guild, and another merchant group ruling over the entire city.
William wasn't interested in taking over the city. He was considering this place as the safe haven for him, his friends, his guild, and many spirit masters at the time of the upcoming apocalypse.
"If just I can find those Transformers… Things would have been a lot nicer!" William sighed while heading to the fort. Right now, the old fort turned to be exclusive for various forces and rich folks, alongside the old families who hailed from the humans who took over this fort aeons of years ago.
William headed to the fort using one of the nine hills it got. Before, he had to struggle to reach the top, walking in the middle of crowded lines that were heading up or moving down from the fort. But that all changed. And getting to the fort now required even a key to pass through the shield that Panther established around it.
"I see you decided to come out from your prehistoric cave at last!"
Just before he'd walk in the empty and quiet streets up there, he heard such a familiar voice coming from his side.
"Hi Ben, long time no see, old man," William saw Ben standing over the grand wall surrounding the fort. He looked a bit younger thanks to having new wives in recent years.
