Chapter 1254: I'm Going To Kill You!
This didn't add up, and Sara's mother couldn't help but think about the short rumbling and shaking that happened shortly, the weird lights that appeared for brief seconds before vanishing.
"Sht! The portal!!!" the moment her mind got time to think about it, she couldn't help but guess what the root of all this was. And when she thought about that, she couldn't help but look at William's direction.
"What did you do exactly?" even if she realised what happened, she was sure William was behind it. And yet she couldn't guess what could possibly be that important to send to the higher world.
She was busy fighting against the relentless masters coming from the city above. They weren't that strong, but they had the numerical advantage, and they were stubbornly attacking her regardless of anything else.
She got absorbed in stopping them, setting her gaze mainly over William. The latter didn't make any suspicious moves, and that made her neglect the rumbling and the light shower that shortly appeared.
William showed clear signs of being from there, and yet his strength was quite weak. It wasn't just him, everyone else in this world was very weak. If any master tried to cross the portal before fulfilling certain conditions, like getting to the pinnacle of power for example, then their bodies wouldn't tolerate the transition, ending up getting killed!
Thinking about that made her unable to read through William's scheme. And yet her instincts told her that something bad just happened. She looked at William's direction and thought about getting to him, forcing him to spill what he did.
Yet the moment she realised all this it was already too late. William was now running as fast as he could, getting away from here. The moment she wanted to give chase, he was already up the hill, overlooking the underground city below with a mocking gaze on his face.
Seeing the look on his face was enough to make her confirm her earlier doubts. "You little bastard… What did you do?" she muttered slowly while knowing William was watching her as she was watching him.
"It's just a little gift, consider what I told you earlier or else…" William ended his words with an evil laugh, then didn't stand in his place for another second. He turned around and dashed out of here, while other masters followed.
Sara's mother was soothing with rage at this point. She knew she got played, and the only thing she could do now was to vent her rage on the surrounding masters.
Yet the masters closest to her were strong enough to sustain her incoming wrath. Even if she was a top pinnacle master in this world, she was still unfamiliar and uncomfortable with the decline of power she suffered by being here.
As the closest masters stopped her, she could only watch while William vanished. "That damn rat! He can run very fast!" she gritted her teeth, knowing she wouldn't catch him.
"You will pay!" she turned and with more wrath attacked the masters. If not for Fang setting more lightning formations, shielding many masters, then the losses would have been on a whole different level.
In the end of the day, she couldn't kill more than five of the strongest masters the city had. There were lots of wounded masters, but everyone knew if not for Fang, they'd have been all dead by now.
"You… You left me down there and ran!!!" The first thing Fang did was to look for William. If Sara's mother was pretty enraged of him, then Fang wasn't different.
He saw it as if William ditched and abandoned him down below. So, the moment he found William, outside Lara's city walls, he didn't hesitate to move as fast as he could, holding him by the collar, while shouting in pure rage.
"As if the formation you kept using didn't come from me," William slowly and calmly responded, while he moved his hands with force to remove Fang's. But he failed to make the latter's fingers budge away from his neck.
"You… You really are audacious!"
"I've done this for the proper reason," William's face didn't change, looking as calm as ever, "'it was worth it…"
"Explain then! Explain now!"
"Now? Here?!" William raised an eyebrow, while his friends looked at each other, feeling worried about him.
"..." Fang struggled as hard as he could to not punch William on the face to wipe that annoying smile off. "Let's go then," he knew what William was referring to, and couldn't help but let go of William's neck, "if I didn't like your reasons, then consider yourself dead… Do you hear me? Dead!"
"Cough!" William touched his neck after Fang released it and sneezed twice. Even while experiencing that, the look on his face didn't change.
"Are you ok?" Berry asked first, while looking at William in a weird way.

"It's nothing," he smiled, "let's go back."
"..." Berry was like everyone else, like Fang, wanted to know what all this was about. Lara even tagged along, as she was dying to know why William did all this.
However, William kept his mouth shut while they headed back to the guild town. They never stopped asking, but he only kept his lips sealed tight and never said anything of value.
William knew Sara's mother must have sent a few of her masters to track and spy on him. He didn't want to spill all the beans in one go, wanted to let her keep running in circles, feeling puzzled and lost about what exactly happened.
William was sure Sara's mother would guess that he activated the portal. But no master from this would be fit to pass through it, not to mention the real reason behind doing this.
He knew she'd start guessing someone from her side would do such a move as the last option. In fact, she never suspected such a thing until she'd meet him later on.
As William and others arrived at the town, he made sure to set many sealing arrays and formations, hoping they'd be enough to stop the prying eyes of Sara's mother.
