The man screamed in extreme pain, but he didn't pass out. He gritted his teeth while trying to hold back tears, but he gave up when William's longsword was about to strike once again.
"There's a button next to the door that reverses the gravity so you can go back up." he said quickly while pointing out the location.
"Ah, thanks!" William said with a vicious smile that caused the thief to almost soil his pants.
With William's current menacing appearance and his unpredictable behavior, the thieves started to wonder which idiot had made an enemy of this fellow.
While the Time Halt Spell was very effective at restraining the thieves, they couldn't keep it active while transporting the group. Instead, William had Carl contact Blue Moon City with his communicator.
"Mr. Yuming, is that you?" the bald Alchemist asked from the other end.
"No Sir, it's Carl. Yuming had something else to do for a few weeks, so he passed me his communicator for the time being."
"Carl? Are you that friend he brought into the Hall earlier? Do you know what time it is?"
"Yes, Sir. I'm aware, but this is important."
"I see, what is it?" the old man wasn't too bothered with Carl's intrusion, since we was only sorting out the supply closet and not doing anything important.
Carl relayed the information of the Thieves' Guild hideout to the Alchemist, who was very surprised and contacted the higher-ups immediately.
Within a few minutes, Array Master Fowley was informed, and he opened a two-way portal that sent a group of Blue Moon City guards to the location. William had already disabled the Time Halt Spell and had encased every Cultivator in Ice so they could be more easily transported.
Other than a few Ice and Fire Mages that were more resistant to William's Magic, the rest were easily handled. The ones that resisted were held in place by Carl's Magical Beasts, which were more than strong enough to take on an armless Cultivator of the same Realm.
"Thank you, Carl, and... uh... who are you?" one of the guards asked as he looked at William. While he spoke, the others fanned out inside the room and began moving the thieves through the portal.
Shit, I didn't think of a name yet...
"You can call me Serio." William replied quickly. It was a name he made on the spot meant to sound like a mix between Serious and Mystery, but he couldn't call himself Mysterio since that reminded himself too much of a comic he read as a kid.
"Phi, I am Captain Phi."
"Phi? As in Fi Fie Fo Fum?" William asked.
"What?"
"Nevermind. Captain Phi, do you have a list on hand of other bounties?"
"Looking for more cash, huh? You must be quite the bounty hunter. Yes, I'll go retrieve the list for you." the guard Captain said as he walked to the back of the room and opened up a filing cabinet with a special key in his Space Ring.
He picked up a thick binder full of bounties and handed it to William, who said his thanks and flipped through the pages.
He didn't have to look for very long, since his face was on the eleventh page of the binder.
WANTED: William (Blood Identifier Code WFES3O)
Blood Identifier Code? System, what is that?
-Request requires 3 Potential Points. Yes/No?
Confirm.
-The Blood Identifier Code is a form of unique identifier given to each Cultivator when they register with an organization and is recorded through your blood. Mages with the Blood Element invented a Spell in the last five hundred years that assigns each person a Blood Identifier Code when they first register with an organization.
-You currently have two Blood Identifier Codes, WFES3O and YHEGH5C. The second code was given to you after you changed your blood type in the Hillvire Empire.
It makes sense why I wasn't captured immediately after registering then. For a second I was scared that they always knew that Yuming was me. William sighed in relief.
He looked past the poor description that didn't truly accentuate his handsomeness, focusing in on the bounty listed at the bottom.
BOUNTY: 12,600,000 Gold Coins
Twelve... Twelve million?!?
