Sara's mother laughed while imagining how William would react when getting attacked by Jacky, "this isn't your typical spirit master, he is one from a mysterious force that I accidentally tapped into. If normal methods can't deal with you, then let's see how Mystic ways will, hahaha!"
She was quite confident in Jacky's ability to kill William. Jacky wasn't a strong master himself in the outer world, but he inherited weird methods from the master she once assassinated. She knew from that mission about the existence of that weird side of Mystic Arts. and since then she made sure to keep Jacky around.
Jacky would never guess it, but a big part of his affection towards her came from her mind games that she kept playing around him. She knew how special Mystic Arts were, and what was weirder was that no one else in the palace knew about that side of the world.
She planned to use Jacky's power to help her in getting rid of her palace master. She never imagined she'd use him to assassinate a youngster instead. And she didn't regret calling him.
"It seems you don't need me anymore," just before Sara's mother would return back to her seat, Jenny appeared from the distance, "you have someone to do the job..."
"The one you failed to execute," Sara's mother kept walking calmly to her seat as if Jenny didn't appear.
"It's not my fault, you hid important information about him..."
"It's still a failure," Sara's mother coldly said while glaring at Jenny, "do you want to repay the debt or lose your life here?"
"..." Jenny's body trembled, not out of fear, but of rage. She was just like how William told her, didn't accept the life she was currently living. And yet here she was, unable to say no or refute such words thanks to the shackles enforced on her by her family's debt.
"Sure, anything you want I'll do," she finally succumbed to Sara's mother's wishes, controlling her rage that was mistakenly perceived by Sara's mother as fear.
"He won't fail, neither will you," Sara's mother laughed, as she had absolute confidence in Jacky and his mysterious ways.
Away from here, William just woke up from a deep sleep. The moment he got out of his room, he found the entire place felt weird.
"What's wrong?" he asked and what he heard made him not know if he should laugh or regret it. Sara and Berry woke up, and as he expected, they felt quite shy from what happened with him. It seemed they recalled everything, felt everything, and that made the two unable to look him in the eye for the time being.
They decided to go out and lead a few patrolling units around the town. At the same time, the closest girls to them learnt about what happened, and they leaked the news to enrage Anjie.
Anjie was considered the only girl who got a shot with William so far, and it seemed this frustrated lots of girls in the team. Knowing what happened, Ro and other girls made sure to spread the news. And that quite enraged Anjie.
The latter decided to go out as well to lead patrolling units. And many speculated a big fight would erupt between the three girls.
"I won't get my nose into such stuff anymore," When William heard about all this, he shook his head and decided to not interfere in such a silly situation.
The next thing he did was to release orders, making sure everyone is prepared and ready for battle. He knew Sara's mother wouldn't accept his wish this easily, and surely she'd lean to violence first.
He knew their enemies would be on the top pinnacle of power in this world, but they also would suffer lots of restrictions on their techniques. Also they wouldn't be quite familiar nor comfortable with how their power got forcibly decreased and limited.
That made him quite confident in their ability to stop any incoming attack. But the main problem still was in the ways Sara's mother would use.
