William knew she didn't just have the privilege to be on his side for a long time, away from other girls, she got the chance to enjoy something no other girl had tasted so far.
"And so what? I'm the one who won that challenge before, remember?" Anjie didn't back down, even when William gave her a silent gaze.
"Easy there, let's just go back first," he had to intervene, or this happy reunion would change into a battle or something.
Along the way, the girls seemed like they were more united than before. They moved in one group, while glaring at Anjie.
"You seem to trap yourself in a very big mess, hahaha," Fang from the side laughed in amusement, while watching what was happening with much interest
"As if you didn't have many ladies running around you," William rolled his eyes, and Fang just laughed, winked, while adding:
"I never let a girl by my side unsatisfied, so they were all happy."
"We are all young here..."
"As if this prevented the two of you from having little fun back there."
"Fun? What fun?" Like a cheetah, Berry jumped in the talk, while other girls turned their heads towards Fang.
"Ahem, it seems I need to go... Do something elsewhere," Fang cleared his throat, with a face that showed an evil expression.
"You damn old fart..." William knew Fang did this on purpose, and yet he had no way to punish him except by this, "forget any dreams about having the materials of that formation, let me see how you'll gain access to that city, hmph!"
"They are training for enough time already," Ro argued, "we need them to move some muscles..."
"We have one year," William interrupted her, "our main goal isn't to have fun, or make them move their muscles. We need to find gems that can come with us to that tournament, and help us win it."
"But... We trained them very well..." Berry interfered, and yet William didn't listen to any of their words.
To him, he was focused entirely over the upcoming tournament. "This tournament is something we need to win no matter what. So, training them well means they raised a grade, did they?"
His words made everyone look at each other, before Moore asked:
"Since when did you become a tournament maxi? You always hated such stuff!"
Moore's words surprised everyone, not because of what he said, but because he spoke up in the first place.
Since this ex-dark master joined the team, he kept himself silent. William and others tried to make him blend, but after the rough start, he kept himself silent and distanced a little bit from everyone.
"I just got fond of that one," William didn't explain anything about his true reasons, "just take this matter very seriously. You also won't get off the hook..."
"What? You just came back after a long time apart and want us to move and train? For real?!!" Berry wasn't the only one asking this, but other girls had their thoughts the same like hers.
"What else do you want?" he acted ignorant, as if he didn't know what she and others had in mind.
"We need to take a day or two off," Sara cleared up her throat, and seemingly what she wanted to say next choked in her throat.
"You can take a few days off," William paused, before dropping his bomb next, "but I have lots of work to do. So, feel free to rest away from me."
