Chapter 83 Realising Who William Was

Lofias recognised him from the posters. Even the description he heard about William matched the porter that had his neck cornered by his elder's spear.

"What's wrong, Lofias? Do you know him?" Gran wasn't an idiot. He instantly knew there was something wrong about this prodigy spirit master in his clan.

From the look over Lofias face, Gran knew the latter recognised William. and that made him wonder if William was really honest about what he claimed before or if he did something terrible worthy of such infamy.

"Sorry elder… But can I have a word with you?" Lofias paused, looked at William before adding, "in private?"

"Hmm… Ok, let me see what you have to say," Gran turned to William and his group, "don't move a single step away from here. Or else…"

The elder just did something simple. He called forth his dark golden spirit power, making it envelop his body like he was lit on dark golden fire.

"I will wait for you," William cupped his hand in respect without caring about such useless show of power.

Running away? He came all this way to meet this clan's patriarch, not to just run away from a mere elder.

"Humph," Gran didn't like William's response on the surface, showing his discontent about it. However deep inside, he was feeling more puzzled about William's state of mind and will.

And just as the two moved away, Ary couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief before hurrying to pull William's shoulder.

"Are you out of your mind?" Ary said this in low tone while gritting his teeth, "do you want him to kill you? We are inside his clan, and here no other rule but the Long's clan's rules apply!"

"Easy Ary," William shrugged his shoulders free from William's grasp, "we are inside the spirit master world where spirit master world rules apply."

Ary didn't get what William just said, blinked thrice before he shifted his gaze at the other two girls.

And when he saw their honest calm expressions, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"We… Are doomed!" he weakly returned to his place, behind William, while muttering, "what the hell did I do wrong in my life to end up dying in such a shameless way? At least dying at the hands of my enemies has more honour than dying here."

"Relax," William couldn't help but chuckle, "we aren't in any sort of danger. You will see soon enough."

"Sigh!" and Ary didn't buy a single word of what William just said.

The elder and his clan's prodigy spirit master took almost ten minutes away from the group in secretive talk before Gran returned alone.

From the look on his face, William got that this elder was briefed about what he missed. But William didn't know there was much more than just the side of the story he knew.

Lofias told Gran everything that happened starting from that weird incident with the young miss ending up with the development of William's current situation.

In fact, Gran never thought William to be causing all this mess. He got the feeling that William wasn't simple, but not to such an extent.

From what he heard from Lofias, Berry's stagnant spirit power big problem was solved, and it was all thanks to this little porter in front of him.

He also heard about the ruckus that happened following Berry's weird status, the posters the clan distributed, the intervention of the forging headmaster, and at last the shocking news that just arrived at the clan.

A porter, one with spirit power lower than thirty point mark, turned in a few days into a strong spirit master of bronze grade.

That was quite shocking! Gran wasn't shocked by William's bronze spirit master grade. In his eyes that wasn't a spirit master worthy of his attention.

But the way William reached this grade was enough to drive anyone crazy! William turned in a few days into a spirit master from a porter, and he just heard that William stayed as a porter for almost two years in the academy.

Not to mention what he did to Berry, something that even the grand patriarch confirmed to be true.

These were all shocking to him, making him not know what he should do with this annoying brat in front of him, one he failed to read or even fathom.

Lofias confirmed what William told him before, the patriarch was waiting for him and sent him an invitation to come.

And Gran could guess correctly part of the truth. He could tell the old patriarch, his uncle, wanted to confirm what William did with Berry.

"Everything is ok, elder?" Once Gran stood a few metres away, looking in such a weird way towards William, the latter couldn't help but ask.

"Shut up brat! Let's go, the patriarch is waiting for you," Gran just said these words before turning around and starting to move.

"Damn me! It's true!!" and from behind, Ary couldn't help but comment in such a funny way.

As he took the lead, Gran wanted to ask William many things, yet he refrained. First, he cared about his image in front of these kids. And second, he knew the meeting with his clan's patriarch wasn't going to be an easy one for such a daring kid.

For a reason he felt that the old monster of his clan was also feeling puzzled about William. Or else why would he ask him to come here and meet with him personally?

If it was to thank him for whatever he did to Berry, then Berry's father would be suitable for such a task. Even if the patriarch was curious about what William did to cure Berry, he could have assigned this task for her father, while that scary monster would watch from the shadows.

The more he thought about this, the more he got puzzled. So, Gran decided to wait for the meeting to start to confirm his doubts. During their silent walk inside the huge Long clan's residence, Gran was occupied, recalling his meeting with William in great detail.
