"Tsk," Sloth didn't know how his student changed after meeting William, but he had no say anymore in this matter, "I'll go and prepare the materials then!"

He powerlessly gave in, went to do what William asked for at the end. As for Anjie, she sent a message to William, simple one, [Mission done! After this is all over, you'll stay in my dorm for a few nights!]

[Ahem, ok] William got startled by what she asked him for, even stopped in the middle of his attacks. Yet he wouldn't mind it, after all Anjie was, like others, his girl!

"When time comes, let's see how other girls will let you enjoy your time, hehehe," William could already see his girls fighting against her, stopping her in what she wanted. He found it amusedly fun to watch, and yet he knew in the end, he would enjoy it all.

"This is for later time then," he returned to focus on the task in hand. As he imagined, the enemies lost all the will to fight. After all, the masters here knew they got abandoned from the upper realm, and they were left to die!

When someone would get betrayed, he would be in his weakest moments. And William intended to hit the iron when it was hot, killing as many as he could.

"We… We want to surrender!" Just as he was having his killing feast, a sudden loud shout came, stopping William in tracks, "we will surrender and do anything you want from us!"

"Impressive!" William turned his head towards the master who said these words, "so… I assume you are the leader who gave me some trouble lately, right?"

William watched a very beautiful lady walking out from behind the portal. She had pure white skin, spotless, without any speck or flaw in her beauty. Her long silver red hair stretched to cover her shoulders, extending to beyond her back!

She walked in a slow manner, yet it felt majestic and enchanting in some way. William didn't know why, but he felt like he saw this master before, yet he couldn't remember.

And that was something weird! As he never forgot any face he'd come across before, especially if it was of such beauty like her!

"You were one of Lingerie's closest guardians and elites, correct?" William tried to guess her identity in this life, while squeezing his brain cells to get where he saw and met her before in his past life.

He fought against Lingerie's closest and strongest guardians, and yet never focused over their faces that much. If he could say something about them, then they were all beautiful, quite pretty and deadly!

Not a single one stood out for him to remember. So, his guess right now wasn't based on a recent memory of seeing her in that elite squad, but because he thought this was the best squad suited to her abilities!

William could tell she wasn't a master to trifle with! She kept adapting and scheming when the situation looked hopeless. And even now, her offer to surrender was the only way out for any of them.

"You can say that," she didn't give him a definite answer, "so… Are we good here? Do you accept our surrender?"

"Not that fast," William moved his spirit sense around, trying to spot any hidden plot in play, yet he found nothing.

"Don't bother, I'm not here with any ill intentions," she calmly smiled, in a way that gave William a bad feeling. This was one of the rare times when someone managed to read through him. Even in the upper realm, not that many could read through his thoughts that easily, not someone he just met right now!

"What's your name?" William returned to look harder in his memories, trying to get where he saw or met her before.

"No need for that," the lady giggled, "I can tell you are popular with ladies, but you aren't my type!"

"I'm not joking or playing around," William's face got serious, "what's your name, affiliation in the palace, and your story of joining there?"

"Affiliation? Hmm… It seems you really do know a lot about the palace," she totally ignored his question, as she commented on something else. And when William heard her, he couldn't help but jump to a certain conclusion.

"You came late in this war… You aren't part of Lingerie's guards," he muttered to himself, and when he saw the grin over that lady's face, he confirmed his guess!

What made him guess that was what she said. If anyone was with Lingerie's guards, then she would have heard the entire conversation between the two.

It was known from that moment how much William knew about the upper world and palace. In fact, Lingerie showed great attention to him thanks to this point. So being surprised about hearing something small like the palace affiliation meant she never was here when Lingerie came!

"Here is the deal," William turned his attention towards other masters from the upper world, "if anyone has any information about this lady, her identity, her role in the palace, then step forward and tell me what you know…"

"No need for such hustle," the lady's face changed for a brief moment, a change that didn't escape the keen senses of William, "I'll tell you everything… When we are together… Alone…"

She said the last words while swaying her body in slow manner, in a way that made lots of masters drool over her beauty and body.

Yet William didn't feel a thing!

"Whoever gives me any information, a reliable one, on her, will be spared here!" William continued his words, as if she never stopped him. Just as he said it, her face showed an anxious look, one that made William more reassured about this way to deal with her.

He couldn't pinpoint at which part exactly that made him quite uncomfortable about her, but he was sure about one thing… She meant trouble!
