Chapter 44 - Hidden Danger

1159 Words
At this moment, a loud, slightly hoarse voice began to sound in the center of the town square. “Everyone doesn't have to worry about how difficult this year's assessment will be, because the higher-ups above have added a condition so that you can pass the assessment very easily!” The one who spoke this time was one of the old men who had a long white beard, this old man was the one in charge who was the same as the old man with green pupils. “In the area where you are, there will be a fairly large lava lake. It is located in the very center of the area, and underground where the volcano is located. “There is a spiritual plant called the red fire lotus. If one can collect more than 3 red fire lotuses, then that person will pass the assessment automatically with several additional rewards awaiting that person upon entering the Secret Service Organization!” “Remember, this judgment in no way prohibits murder. Therefore how many people make it out alive only need to depend on you yourselves, we don't want to recruit someone who is cowardly.” Boom! Hearing that, the mood of the people in the square was revived and there was an even more lively discussion than before. At least with such favorable conditions, making some weak people who have a small chance of graduating grow taller. At least people with weak cultivation bases had thought of the same thing, which was to wait for strong Spirit Warriors to battle each other before seizing the opportunity to run away and carry the fire lotus. Even though everyone around him had happiness, only William was not happy at all. William felt there was something strange about these favorable conditions. William began to ignore the emotions of excitement around him, he subconsciously looked at the few people behind the two old men. They seemed to be looking at everyone in the square with disdain. Without hesitation, William immediately used his ability to look in their direction. “Eyes of Wrath!” Then beneath William's black robes, his two eyes had turned extremely unique. The part of the eye that should have been white had been completely blackened with several blue lines connecting to form a pentagon. Then the ruby-red pupils that he possessed had turned a deep red, it turned terrifyingly red like curdled blood. Then William focused his vision to look at the people behind the two old men. In his vision, William saw a look of contempt plastered on their faces. Then William tried to read the movements of their lips carefully. "Hey, what a fool! Do they think that our Secret Service Organization needs loan sharks like them who can only reduce cultivation resources? You guys are just lowly pets that we have taken good care of for the bright future of the Feysac Kingdom!” “Don't say something like that! What if someone else hears it?” “Don't worry, no one can hear my words from a distance and the noise around here! "My fellow, I don't agree with what you said earlier. That's because as long as we take good care of the pets, then they will be tame to us and can accept any kind of orders we give as long as it doesn't put their lives in danger!” "Your words are also true, by doing so our lives will become easier than before!" “I'm really looking forward to how many people will be sucked dry by the red fire lotus. The more their soul energy is sucked in, the more the spiritual energy quality of the red fire lotus spiritual plant increases!” As the people laughed happily, William just stared at him with cold eyes. They did not realize that the conversation had been known to William. “Young master, what is wrong with your eyes? Are you okay?" Just as William was peeking at the conversation of some of the young members of the Secret Service Organization, he suddenly heard a worried voice coming from beside him. Without looking at the source of the voice, William knew that the little girl beside him had noticed the changes in his eyes. And was looking at him with a worried look. "It's okay Chiaki, I just saw something that no one else should know." William retracted his Eyes of Wrath ability and whispered to the little girl beside him. William has no other choice other than lying about the situation he had just seen with that ability. William was well aware of his current situation, even if Chiaki and Prince Alfreed were trustworthy companions it didn't mean William would tell them both. That was because once the three of them were discovered, he did not doubt that the entire Secret Service Organization would immediately kill the three of them without having the slightest resistance. This was one of the reasons why William sought strength in such a hurry, it was because he didn't want to die without being able to put up the slightest resistance. Then why didn't William reveal it anonymously to the other participants? As has been said before, William is not as pure-hearted as people think. As long as there is no merit or a reasonable reason for him to act, William will not take any action. Even if William had a little sympathy for all the participants present, he wouldn't have done something so stupid as revealing it. Besides, even if William talked about this matter to all of them, it didn't mean they would simply believe his words. Even William believed that they all would stop at nothing to collect the red fire lotus spiritual plant even though they knew that the spiritual energy would be sucked out by it. Since it was their only chance to survive in this harsh world, they didn't even hesitate to sacrifice others for the sake of their own future. “But since they have no good intentions towards me, then don't blame me for destroying the fruit of their labors in cultivating the red fire lotus spiritual plant!” “One's soul energy will indeed be sucked out completely just by touching it directly, but all that doesn't apply after learning of the threat. With the Hundred Bones Battle Soul ability, I can at least uproot the red fire lotus spiritual plant without touching it directly.” William said it in his heart, although he is not a pure-hearted person that does not mean he is not a vengeful person. For William, anyone who offended him would pay back ten times over. And vice versa, whoever helps him, William will repay his help ten times. It's because he's the type of person to give and take equally “Absolutely very ironic!” William muttered under his breath while looking up at the blue sky above his head.
