Yet when other masters used similar formations, she started to realise the truth. "This William is going to be a headache," she muttered to herself, feeling like she found herself a trouble she never imagined finding in this world.
When her masters escaped, almost all of them suffered from different degrees of wounds. She knew she wouldn't be able to put on the scary show she envisioned before. And yet she refused to leave empty handed like this.
"Didn't you come here to know what I did back there?" out of the blue, William calmly walked through the army of masters he had. He looked as if he was experienced and used to lead tons of masters in deadly and dangerous battles.
A youngster in his age, coming from this low world, wouldn't show such confidence nor calmness in front of her and other masters on her side. And when William stopped a few tens of metres away from his masters, she raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Do you think I won't kill you from such a distance?" she scoffed, as if William just made a grave and fatal mistake.
"I know you can, but you won't," William evilly smiled, "you didn't want to kill any of us or dirty your hands with our blood. What was it? An oath perhaps?"
"Screw yourself!" she roared faintly while gritting on her teeth as a wounded tigress.

"Let's talk business," William's face turned all serious, "how about we speak about what I sent Jenny to do?"
"I want to know why you decided to help her escape," she shook her head, as if what William did was a bit childish, "she can't escape, her life is bound forever to the palace and me..."
"Who said I did this to let her escape from here?" William raised an eyebrow, feeling as if he was surprised by what she said.
In fact, he was, he thought Sara's mother would come here clueless. And yet she thought about a reason he never thought of before.
"Will we let her leave like that?!" Lara couldn't help but stop William and point towards the walking away Sara's mother and half the army she brought within the first place.
"Let her be," William calmly smiled, "she... She had more trouble to care about from now on."
"..."
Neither Lara nor anyone else of his friends knew what he was speaking about. Only Moore knew what he was speaking about, and even he looked at the shadow of Sara's mother and inwardly sighed.
"Let's go," William paused, turned around and added, "don't forget..."
"We know," Sara rolled her eyes while others struggled to keep their laughs inside, "let's clean the battlefield and collect the loot..."
"This isn't any normal loot," Fang jumped all of a sudden, "all of them came from the outside world, and you all know how much materials and interesting stuff they held in their rings..."
"Never dream about that," William stopped the old man from continuing his dreams, "everything will be delivered to me, intact and fully, got it?"
His words weren't just for Fang, but for other strong masters who seemed to drool for the generous loot in this battle. When William said his words, he focused his eyes over Lara, Anjie, and other friends of his to make sure they got what he needed them to do.
They would be his eyes and ears, and any master taking something for himself would end up getting punished by him later on.
William wouldn't need to trouble himself with them, he'd just spread rumours about them having lots of precious treasures, and the rest of greedy masters would do the trick for him.
Knowing everyone here was smart, he left this mission to others while he retreated. He had to consider what would be the reaction of Sara's mother towards that crystal.
