Chapter 931 Speaking With Anjie



Not to mention if this tent allowed his spirit sense to go through it, then it wouldn't suit a place for the king to stay in.

In the next minute, the man returned and invited only Sloth and William inside. William left the two girls behind, fearing that Karoline might say something inappropriate and let the king grow mad instead of rewarding him.

The moment he entered the tent, he saw an old looking man, one that looked as if he just got out of his deathbed or something. There were lots of strong looking masters, many shared many features with him. And on one side, Anjie was standing there, showing a big smile that seemed to be there for a long time.

William felt good for her. After all, she endured a lot for her father. And finally, her father got saved, and the kingdom didn't end up destroyed.

"And here you are, so... You are William?" the king examined William with eyes that told the latter how deadly this master was. Thinking how such a master ended up being killed using poison told William a lot about this king's abilities.

If they could assassinate him using normal means, then they wouldn't have learned to use toxins to do it.

"I'm honoured to meet the king," William greeted the king formally, cupping both hands and bowing even his head slightly deep for him.

"No need for such formalities," the king waved his hand, "I heard everything you did for me and my kingdom. You are very capable, and that is something worthy to celebrate."

The king seemed to be in a very great mood, and William just played along. The two kept talking about different things, and William realised the king did his research quite well.

The king was well aware of what William did five years ago, what he did in his guild, and also what he did since coming here. The idea of building something to fight dark masters was a novel and interesting idea for the king. And he willingly offered his help to William, wanting to support his guild.

"I want to ask something from the king," as William got the blessing and agreement of the king to further expand his guild branches to cover all the kingdom's main cities, he decided to speak about the real purpose of coming here.

"Anything," the king was in a very good mood right now and kept smiling and even laughing from time to time.

"I heard the spirit master competition got ruined in the middle of the attack," William paused, and took a long glance at the king's face, trying to see if the latter was unwelcoming to speak about this point.

"Go on," the king's face slightly changed. After all, this competition was meant for the entire continent's spirit masters. And ruining it was a big stain in the face of the kingdom and him.

"I want to be selected for the final competition of the entire world," he finally said what he came here primarily for, "I know this may look rude of me to ask something like this, but..."I think you should take a look at

"No need, you have shown enough power to get recommended to go there," the king waved his hand, casually saying his response, agreeing with what William asked for.

"For real? Oh, sorry, didn't mean that," William already prepared a long list of excuses to convince the king. But when he realised that he got what he wanted without the need to do anything else, he was too delighted about it.

"Hahahaha, it's really energetic to be a youngster, hahahaha," the king laughed for a few seconds, pointing at William as if he was pointing to a rare species or something, "but... I have to warn you, you won't be the only team coming from our kingdom, or the continent. Such events may be bitter and bad, but they happened before, they aren't rare. And on such occasions, each kingdom will send five teams to take part in the grand contest."

"I see," William got what the king wanted to say, and he truly didn't care. He wanted to go to that grand world contest, score the first position there, and secure himself access to that heavenly city.

Without it, getting out from here or reaching to the ceiling of power in this world would take decades for him and others!

The two kept talking for an hour or so, and the king seemed to highly value William and appreciate what he did for him. He even asked his opinion about a few things and plans for the new capital, and William was sincere in every single piece of advice he gave.

During the talk, it wasn't just the king who ended up impressed by William, but the rest of the old and formidable masters standing in the tent. In the end, they all highly valued his words, the same as the king.

"Don't tell me you wanted to impress my father back there," as the meeting ended, William was walking out with Anjie. Karoline and Lina were also there, with the former showing more interest and joy than before.

She went around and created a little scene during the meeting, made many masters laugh at her and she didn't stop shouting at them. Yet she was enjoying her time, at least much better than the last few hours of silence she experienced while coming here.

"I was just giving sincere advice," William didn't know why but he felt like her words held deeper meaning.

"You do know that my father isn't an easy person to value anyone?" she kept speaking with words holding other meanings, "and to him, I'm untouchable."

"I assure you, I had no other motive back then but to help him and the kingdom."

"What a regret," she suddenly said, and William didn't know what he should say in response, so he changed the subject.

"Tell me, are you going to stay here?"
