356 Chapter 356 - Delmar's Genderly Suspicion
After the talk, all the people went back to their respective rooms to rest for a while before setting out to start the expedition. It was only a 10-minute rest moment and not long.
The group wanted to start the expedition as quickly as possible so they only went to freshen up. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
William was escorted to his own private room just for him and he too took a five-minute rest before washing himself and changing his clothes.
But he was having slight trouble wearing is clothes. It was not because the clothes were of heavy properties and had a different way to fit than normal but because there was a man in his room who was complaining to him.
Delmar kept walking from the door to the other end of the room endlessly and complained to William, "HOW! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!"
"You heard him say what he said, it's done." William said without a shred of worry in him.
"But how!!" Delmar looked at him with wide surprised eyes.
"How can he give us such a lucrative deal!"
Delmar didn't let William speak and continued on.
"Why is he giving us 55% of the whole pure mana crystal site!" He said and his own words seem to surprise him more.
William didn't say anything and thought back to the moment when Edward had told them that they would be given 55% of the whole deal. It was a great deal for William and he could only accept it.
"Is that person not sane?" Delmar asked himself.
"Why are you acting like he gave us 100's of trillions for free! That place might be worth a few trillion or less and we will only get 55% of that."
"We already have more than enough money than what that mana crystal place has, so stop it.!"
Delmar stammered as he explained, "Th- that might be tru- true... BUT!" He looked at William with a serious look and said, "The strange thing about Mana Crystal place is that even if you harvest it completely, the crystals will regrow back once more."
"It may take 50 to 100 years... and even more so," Delmar said and scratched his bald head, "That place is ground to pure mana crystals... which is very rare and that guy just gives half of it to us... just like that."
William just waved off his words, "Don't think it like that. Did you forget that we would also have to give a percentage of our deal to the kingdom as well?"
"And stop complaining over such a good thing, you will bring bad luck over us."
"Quite right."
They then opened the door to see a angry Naomi standing there.
"What's wrong with you?"
Naomi pointed her finger at Delmar, "Why does he get to go inside of your room and not me?"
William wondered if today was an inauspicious day for him or not with his closest comrades asking bizarre questions.
"First of all, he went in without asking me and only complained, which you never do."
"And secondly, I was changing clothes so, I couldn't let a gentle lady like you be disturbed by a scene like that." William said with the utmost straight bullshit.
'But I want to see you like that.' Naomi quietly said which was ignored by both men.
"Alright, let's go then." William said as Delmar walked along him with questions flying though his head and Naomi walking behind with a dejecting air.
They walked straight out to the landing area where Edward and his company was waiting for them with the planes.
"Before we leave I need to introduce you to these people." He said and pointed to the group of four people behind him. William looked and saw a frontier group with three male members and one female.
"This is the Tiger Lurche Frontier group, especially brought to protect us from any kind of trouble we might find ourselves in and this is Halbeck, the leader of the group."
Halbeck, was a man of 6.5 foot and looked imposing with his dark skin tone and slash to his left eye.
Halbeck gave a nod to William as Edward continued, "If you need or want to ask something and can't find me, then talk to him about it."
William nodded and went to talk with Halbeck, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Halbeck."
"Just Halbeck and yeah-"
"Ahh... such a dashing young man."
"Hey what do you say about going on a date?"
