"Alright I'll give you the short version as well..."
"No"
William, hearing him, gave a sigh as he shook his head a few times and said, "Can you tell me why you won't even think about my proposal?"
"Do I need a reason to refuse someone who has been chasing me for the past year?"
William nodded as he said, "True true, But in my defense you hide very well. What else was I supposed to do?"
"Why do you think that I am hiding?"
"It's because I am labeled as one of the most wanted criminals in the kingdoms."
"And about you trying to find me, you could have done that just by sending a message to the assassins dark web and they would have given me the message itself which would have done the job."
"Wait!... There's a dark web about assassins?" William asked in pure confusion.
"Of course there is."
"What's the address?"
"It's zzz.ghostwebni-... Why the hell am I telling you about this!"
Adam started speaking about it and stopped in the middle of it as he screamed out in rage.
William shrugged his shoulders as he said, "I don't know, General knowledge maybe."
Adam had a tick mark appear on his forehead as he listened to that.
"First, Why the hell don't you know about the assassins dark web!"
"And lastly, how do you not know about it when you have so many subordinates?"
"Hey don't say that about my subordinates."
"Is this something to have general knowledge about!"
Hearing him, Adam nodded to himself as it was true that something like this isn't general knowledge which almost anyone should know about.
"No seriously, I'm asking if this is something one should have general knowledge about?"
Hearing the strange person's words made Adam more angry than he was.
He truly couldn't understand whether this strange person in front of him was making fun of him or was he really serious?
"What? I'm asking this because I seriously don't know about it. Don't think weird stuff about me." William said as he looked at him with an innocent face.
"I don't believe someone who is using a child's appearance to deceive others. Definitely not someone who uses a boy of below legal ages face."
"What are you talking about?" William asked as he didn't understand what he just said.
"It's ridiculous for a normal hamburger to have this many zeros in its price."
Adam could only take the hamburger in front of him and looked at it deeply to see if there was any substance in it.
Finding none, he took a big bite of the burger as he took in the taste for a moment before saying, "Yeah it's fine."
William nodded before asking, "So how about I give you a billion dollars to work for me?"
Adam immediately choked as he heard the numbers before drinking a glass of water, "Don't... startle someone with a question like that as he is eats."
"What? Aren't you a professional? Aren't you supposed to be one of the best? Then why are you getting shocked by such a low number?"
Adam looked at the boy who had offered him a billion dollars and also the same boy to criticize the price of a hamburger with a weird gaze.
"I was shocked because I was eating at that moment and I am not just one of the best. I am the best."
William quietly snickered at one corner, "I doubt that."
Adam ignored his comment as he said, "And I haven't gotten a job in a long time. So I was kinda startled at the price you spoke about a moment ago."
William nodded a few times to his words as he didn't believe most of it and asked.
"So why are you here?"
"Why? Because you have been chasing me for some time, that's why."
"So... that doesn't have anything to do with this location having the biggest auction house a few kilometers beside us?"
Adam became silent as he didn't say anything for a while before slouching a little and saying.
"F*ck it, it's not like you would do anything about it anyway so why not tell you about it."
William's ears perked up as he listened in carefully.
"The reason I am here is because I want to buy something."
"More specifically, It is because I want to buy the Sword of Broken Heaven."
William felt like he heard the name somewhere so brought out his tab and typed in something before showing it to Adam.
"Is this what you are looking for?"
Adam nodded, "Yes, I have been searching for that sword for years."
"But you do know that the sword is listed at 25 Billion Dollars, right?"
"Yes, I know. But I would save up enough money and one day buy it."
"But what if someone else buys it first?"
"I would do anything that person tells me to do."
