Chapter 399 Your Spirit Element Is Karma
Sometimes being on the very top wasn\'t a good thing. Many wanted this place to go down, and William would perfectly use these folks to make things worse for this hotel.
If it was another place, then William wouldn\'t have done anything at all. But as he sat his eyes over two gems here, he wouldn\'t show these folks any mercy.
They were the ones who came at him, presented such a chance over, and he\'d not say no to such a thing.
The more he\'d pressure them, the better his chances at getting what he wanted would be.
Even if he had to demolish this entire place and bankrupt it, he\'d not hesitate to do so if he\'d get what he\'d want in the end.
William\'s thought was truly evil against this hotel, as he already marked them as his enemies. Leaving such gems in this place was a waste, just exactly like how Thomas was when he was with Alfonso.
William already hated this place here. It was a perfect fort for the end of the world but ruled with a bunch of clowns and useless folks.
If he was strong enough, he\'d not hesitate to set his eyes over seizing this place over and rule it! But these were plans for the distant future. For now, he\'d try his best to get all the gems and assets he could, as long as it was in the reach of his power.
"Come," William entered the room and motioned to Thomas to follow him inside the ball. He didn\'t speak or say anything until they arrived at the pocket world.
"Tell me, you do know which spirit element you do have, right?" William looked at this stone cold and all silent youth, putting on a fake face that would trick anyone.
He wasn\'t that uncaring about what was happening around him. In fact, he was keenly watching, keeping notes about everything.
"I have the time element."
"Wrong!" William couldn\'t believe this dude got such a gift and he didn\'t even know what it was!
"But…" William thought this dude was playing a trick on him, but from one of the rare moments to show any emotion on his face, and from the puzzled expression he showed in a brief moment, William could tell he wasn\'t joking.
"You can see parts and pieces of the past of anything and anyone, visions if I wanted to be specific, right?"
"Yes master, and that\'s why everyone told me I got a time element…"
He paused, looked into William\'s eyes for a long minute. The latter didn\'t speak or say anything and let this dude\'s mind spin uncontrollably on its own, jumping to conclusions without giving him any lead.
"If I don\'t get a time element, then what element do I have?"
"Make a guess," William started to enjoy this meeting. This dude showed a second reaction over his face, the most he ever showed since William ever met him.
He looked more puzzled and startled by William\'s words. And then he showed a deep frown as he started to seriously think about this.
"Aside from time… What else can tell me the past of anything?" and after a few minutes, and showing different emotions, he finally couldn\'t help but turn to William and admit in an indirect way his failure to guess anything.
"Time is indeed a nice element," William didn\'t hurriedly tell him what he wanted to hear. Instead, he kept walking around and slowly speaking, "if you got such an element, then you\'ll be a much scarier spirit master than what you can be right now."
"..."
He didn\'t speak but felt how William was amused by all of this. "Master, can you tell me which element I have? Please guide me!"
Out of William\'s expectations, this youth knelt on one knee, expressing his utmost desire to know the answer.
"Fine, come here and do as I tell you," William took out a spirit crystal and a candle of light. And like he used to do; he taught this youth how to inspect his spirit power.
The spirit crystal shone in pale gold light, expressing his rank as a gold grade spirit master. William didn\'t need to count the dots, as Thomas\' current place in the gold rank didn\'t matter that much to him.
Instead, he inspected the shape these golden dots took. He didn\'t have a formal spirit, still in the mud phase spirit. "What a loss," William was anticipating what kind of spirit this youth had. But to his disappointment, he found out he got none.
"Master, is it bad?" Thomas didn\'t get a clue about what his master was doing or seeing through this shining crystal.
But he knew his master was doing something, something new, something different than what was commonly seen in this world.
And that made Thomas highly anticipate whatever William was going to say.
"It\'s nothing," William knew that trying to explain the complicated concept of spirit grades would be a nightmare for him and Thomas. Besides, he didn\'t decide if Thomas was worth investing in or not.
And that made the next trip to his territory more important. As this would be a test for Thomas, to show how dependable this youth was.
As he placed such thoughts aside, William started to inspect this dude\'s spirit dots. And there he noticed the special colour of the karma element.
It was silver white in colour, slightly rotating around, forming a small wheel in the heart of this dude\'s spirit dots. If one didn\'t look closer, he would miss that part easily.
"See?" William acted like an all-knowing grandmaster or something, pointing towards the crystal before adding, "your spirit element is karma."
