Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master



William knew such actions here would have severe repercussions when he'd go out from here. But he wasn't that worried.

After all, he got a card that would convince Lara and her family to support his actions here. William wasn't strong enough to start his plans in this city alone, not yet. The first thing he had to do was to start expanding his guild out, purchase a piece of land at the city above and establish a branch of his guild there.

This city was like the Scorching Lands fort before the big war. And William planned to madly absorb masters from everywhere, expanding the sheer size of his guild fighting force in a short time, to secure his foothold here.

But all this was left when he'd go out. For now, he started walking around, stacking attacks and releasing them in torrents.

The last touch for his formation to get completed lacked one simple touch. If he did it, then the entire place would be filled with deafening noises. As for the power needed to run such a formation, he used the same concept like what he did back in his concealment array. But it was a much advanced one thanks to the difference in the material quality used and the overall size of the entire formation.

All he needed to do was to wait for those inside to leave, for the half an hour he gave to them before to pass, before finalising the formation.

If it was up to him, he'd better leave everyone here to die to control what they saw here. But he knew most if not all would relay what happened here to those up there using Bullets. It was enough of a feud to take this city away from many forces. So he refrained from killing them by leaving them behind.

In addition to that, he'd use this move as a good card in the upcoming explosive talk with other forces in the city up there. William was trying to take the higher moral ground, to be equal with his enemies at least without the intervention of Lara.

[What the hell are you doing back at the Lost City? How in the world did you get there in the first place?!!!]

Just less than five minutes later, Lara's angry voice came ranging in his ears. "They are fast," William evilly smirked, took her Bullet out, and started speaking with her.

"What's up? Long time no see!"

[Stop this madness right away! The entire city is rallying forces against you as we speak! What the hell are you doing down there? Huh? Weren't you supposed to go and prepare for the coming up adventure or what?!!]

William couldn't help but laugh when he heard her words. In fact, when he recalled what happened, he couldn't believe how this all happened.

He came looking for a specific set of materials, ending up stirring up a grand storm up there in the city. "Well, if I told you a grand chance is waiting for you and your family, one that's not any less than your great grandfather finding the portal cores back then, will you believe me?"

[No way! I know how trickery you are! Stop all this, stop the damn formation you are setting right now and come up. Let me try and meddle in this disaster. Hopefully the ones up there are going easy on you and will accept spirit crystal payment in the form of an apology!]

"Hell no! Listen, I know you got tons of materials that are seen as useless as trash…"

[How… How did you know about that? It's our family secret! Who the hell told you such a thing?!!]

"Stop interrupting me and listen…"

William started telling her a simple way to use one of these materials. In fact, it was a blue herb, one that wasn't any bigger than one's thumb. But when it was used in a certain way in alchemy, a new product would appear.

This world knew potions, elixirs, and pills. Yet they never experienced ointments! This herb would allow any product to turn into an ointment. Of course that wasn't suitable to use in many things, but in products that'd be used to cure burn marks, scars, and even return beauty and youth back, it got a heaven shaking effect.

William told her about a simple ointment recipe, one which she could use that herb and make something the entire world had never seen before.

[Are you out of your mind? Is this the time to play such tricks?]

"Just try it out… You got ten minutes to test things out. If by then nothing happened, if what I said didn't bring out something you never saw before, then leave me to face those scary folks up there alone. But if my words proved to be right, then you have to help me."

[Damn you! Just one product won't be enough to make me shield you from such a storm! My family won't accept this and will pressure me…]

"Who said I got just this formula? I got tons of others, enough to shock the entire world with new products, enough to turn all the useless stack you got into a treasure trove. However…"

[I know, I know, you want part of the gains… First you need to convince me and my family, then you need to survive this before we talk]

"I want fifty percent, the same as usual."

[Why won't you come and steal my family vault instead? We are the ones who'll carry all the expenses, provide materials and people working on them. Not to mention we are the ones who are going to protect you right now! And you just want half out of the blue?]

"Then sell me these materials and I'll deal with them."

[They aren't for sale! It's a strict family policy!]

"Then I'll get fifty percent!"

[How about the fees of shielding you? Won't that count as well?]
