Chapter 561 The Grand Plan



At the same time, William wanted to unveil the mystery about such an enemy and know what was really going on.

He shifted his thoughts towards the things he could control. For example, that landmine plan was a must to do. Once he got his hands over maps of the Blue Hills, he'd start selecting spots where they'd spend some time preparing their killing zones and escape routes.

William always kept an eye for an escape route since day one of him returning back in time. As for the killing zones, he had to prepare places filled with landmines, lots of grenades distributed to kill any single enemy trespassing it.

Oliver and the other four learnt a lot from William. One of these was how to plan out grenades in a way that wouldn't be as rudimentary as William experienced before.

William taught them tricks to lay out a grand design, to let them lead any enemy into a sophisticated design. Doing this would safeguard against the chances of the enemy reading through their overall design and trap.

It would also lure lots of enemies towards such traps. He even taught them how to make triggered grenades, to not detonate at first, but later due to either passage of time, increase the amount of pressure stacked over them, or even remotely getting triggered using one's spirit power.

He didn't only think about that, and also extended out his thoughts to the long battle that'd erupt after they'd escaped from that trap.

He didn't just plan everything on taking down the enemies around the academy. He knew such a battle would expand to reach areas beyond that region.

So, he intended to also place landmines outside to surround that area. That was why he asked for double the number of supplies Oliver and his team would ask for. He didn't do it out of generosity, but thanks to his complicated viewpoint about the upcoming battle.

But all of that would be for nothing if that person refused his bold request. William knew he had no power to force this person to listen to his words, but he had no other choice but to go and try his luck.

The main weak spot of any sealing array lied in the space element. Using a spirit master with a space element wasn't going to work. If that array was strong, if there were more than one array of different types out there, then even an entire team made of spirit masters of spirit element wouldn't be able to do anything.

William knew to do it, he had to use something that he didn't have. But luckily for him, he knew someone who did.

"I'm here to meet up with you, urgently please," William took out a Bullet, the same thing he took out before inside his suite.

[Oh, didn't know you'll miss me this fast, hahahaha!] the sound of Lara rang in his ears crystal clear. He was now standing outside the Spar Arena, holding the Bullet he got from her.

To conquer any sealing array, no matter what type or strength it got, William had to use a portal to do so. It was the only guaranteed method to negate such a seal.

He didn't have any portals, but Lara did. Previously when she spoke with him about the history of this city, she mentioned that there were still many portal cores left in the vault of her family.

William wanted to purchase a few of these portals using the grand wealth he just gained. He knew the issue didn't lie in the expected scary prices of these portals, but in the strict regulations Lara's family would enforce on such kinds of deals.

If she agreed to help, then taking down any sealing array wouldn't be hard at all. He just needed to do little arrangements before setting out. Yet this matter wasn't in his power to control. All depended over what Lara would say, over her requests if she agreed on doing that deal with him.

And that was why William decided to go and meet her in person, not speaking from far using a Bullet about such a crucial matter.

"I'm outside your arena," William paused, "can we meet in private?"

[Oh, on our first date? That's quite daring, hahahaha!] she totally mistook his intentions. And he had to exert full control on himself to not say something to displease her. Right now, he had to babysit Lara, to get her approval in the end.

"I'm here for business," this was the best thing he could say after filtering lots of unsuitable words.

[Ok, come in then. I'll open a path for you]

"Did you spot me already?"

[Don't forget I own the entire place, and plaza, hahahaha! Come, the path is ready for you. I'll be waiting for you]

In the next moment, a hole appeared just tens of metres away from him. It appeared like it was always there, and once he entered it, the opening closed on itself.

William walked for half an hour, ending up inside a small room that had a desk, lots of scrolls stacked there, and Lara sat on the other side of this desk.

"Welcome to my humble office," she waved her arm as if she was showing off a marvel or something.

"It's nice," William tried to not say what he really thought, not speaking about how dull and gloomy this place looked.

pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ "Hahahaha, don't try to lie. If it was up to me, then I'd better control things over from my palace, not this shithole."

"Then…" William sat on a seat in front of her, and she bitterly smiled.

"It's the rules of my family. The one who got to rule over everything had to work in such a coffin… Anyway, what brought you back so fast? I'm sure you didn't miss me, right?"

She winked, trying to look sexier with a tempting soft smile. She even lowered her head a bit, lowered her eyelids, and gave William a look that could entrance the heart of any man.
