Chapter 991 A Suspicious Person! Let's Spy On His Fate And Destiny!
"... I was curious about why we have to kill them, and not try to tame these monsters and take one as a pet. I wanted a fox, with such nice and smooth fur, to be my pet…"
"You wanted a fox? Hahahaha! Your dreams came true, and you ended up with a fox in the end, hahahaha!" Peter couldn't control himself when he heard her words, and pointed at William while others got what he meant.
And when they did, a chorus of laughter appeared and spread among everyone else.
"Not funny, not funny at all," William looked at all of them while feeling annoyed by their mocking attitude. Yet they kept laughing even when he complained about it.
"I did indeed get the fox I wanted, come here little fox, let me play with you a little bit, hahahaha!" even Anjie chimed in and played along, laughing with them at William. As for the latter, he couldn't help but shake his head, feeling how hopeless this situation was.
He left them enjoying teasing him while he remained silent. He was happy they were dealing with all this in such amusement and didn't try to ruin the mood at all.
After half an hour of saying things like this, they started to test more until one of them touched someone he shouldn't.
"It's protected by fate and destiny in the world…" It was Lara, and she tried to spy on one of the faction's leaders in her city, "I never expected him to get so heavily protected. I never liked that man… Damn!"
"Tell me more about him," William got instantly interested in such a person. When he learnt there was someone protected by fate and destiny, he tested it after getting a detailed description of that man.
And when he felt the fierce resistance there, he knew this master wasn't simple nor normal.
"He came after the first batch that joined our city, you recall that time, right?" she paused as if she was trying to organise her thoughts.
"Back then you didn't accept anyone offering to join the high circle, right?" William was surprised by her words. And then he learnt about what happened to that man.
He came in, spent tons of wealth and supported the city in the rebuilding process. He supported too many masters and forces there, ending up gaining their favour, and managed to finally join the elite higher circle of the city.
"Wealth indeed can do miracles," William sighed when he heard all this, "you do suspect him for getting into that circle using such methods?"
"I met him after we returned, and I didn't like him. He gave me a bad feeling, and so I wanted to see if I could get to the bottom of his…"
"I understand now…" William also got curious about the identity of that person. As he looked, he was someone who was quite meticulous, knew what he was doing, and had some sort of backing.
According to Lara, this person spent enough wealth to rebuild the entire city twice! He bribed a lot of masters and gave a huge amount of riches to many forces and big masters in the city.
He wasn't simple, and William could tell that. He didn't place much focus on Lara's city, except for her underground portal that he had a total interest in.
"If he is aiming to secure that portal for himself or the power supporting him or what?" he couldn't tell, but he placed a red flag over this person like Lara.
"How can we know the truth then?" Sara knew from William's words and silence that he planned to dig deeper into this.
"I learnt of a way to do so," William recalled how the headquarter Bishops used a formation to see through his fate and destiny without suffering much of a backlash, "it's not that safe, but if we did it for a little time, we are going to end up fine."
He knew back then he lasted for too long to see through the life story of the Nightmare monster. This time he planned to do it on shots, in short intervals and such.
"Let's go back," he was eager to expose that person's identity. And as he and everyone got out, he started to tell them what to do.
It was his luck back then to witness everything right from the start. He remembered everything they did, and let everyone do the same as those Bishops did.
"We have fewer numbers than them, but hopefully that dude won't be a hard rock to crack," he knew he was just using much less than the actual number these Bishops used.
As he started to lead everyone back to the fate and destiny world, he let Lara be the leader of all this. "Remember, don't let yourself get drifted in the middle of his fate and destiny. Stay there for one minute, then end it up…"
"I know, I know, I'm the leader in this process," Lara nodded, before adding, "let me test it then."
"Remember…"
"I know!" she sighed, as William stressed on this point for dizzilion times already. And he got a point in that. Back then, he got totally immersed in watching the Nightmare's history, present, and such. So he knew how it felt to be met with an interesting tale played in front of one's eyes.
"Let's start," William turned to Lara and was about to remind her again when she raised a palm in his face.
"Let's just do it," she felt already annoyed by his overprotective actions this time. As all were ready, she calmed down and thought about that person.
This time the fierce resistance vanished! She and others felt nothing much but how the wind would blow on one's face on spring days.
As the start was good, she progressed and recalled that man's face, and name, and even recalled the little interactions she had with him.
She did that, and a new wheel appeared while everyone's wheels appeared.
