Back then, William was in the middle of all this and didn't have time to check anything around.
But now he was seeing what others experienced when he went through all this. The wheels of everyone didn't just appear, but they got locked with each other, locked with Lara's at the centre, and that made everyone able to see and hear everything she'd experienced.
"That's how they managed to see everything back then," he sighed, knowing that by this method, he could spy on anything Lara would see.
Lara then started to see the image of that person. He looked like a normal middle-aged man, without anything remarkable or unique about him. If not for what Lara said, William would mistake him for not even being a spirit master.
The images showed that man while walking in the middle of nowhere, then the scenes flashed, and changed to show something like a big hall, with dimly lit lights, before he'd started to kneel.
"He is kneeling for something... Or someone... But why?" William didn't get it, and the images didn't show anything of that figure he was kneeling towards. And then he suddenly prostrated one arm forward, his left arm, before the pressure suddenly intensified.
"Take us out! Now!" William shouted, and as he guessed, Lara lost herself in seeing the images. She felt the same as him back then, felt like she was close to the truth, and all she needed was to last for a little bit longer.
Unlike him, she got jolted awake by his shout. And then she cancelled the formation used, but it was a little late for that.
"Cough! Cough!" as they got back to the real world, all of them without exception fell to the ground, vomiting blood. It was a bizarre scene, and soon enough William got the strength to stand up.
"That man isn't the problem, but the thing or the person he was kneeling towards is," he wiped the trace of blood off the corner of his mouth, and looked at the ashen white faces of his friends, before sighing.
"These Bishops... They are indeed quite special and strong..." he now realised he was well protected back then by the Bishops' strength. And he also knew how badly hurt they were, "I have to repay their effort one day."
He never thought highly of what they did back then. But now he knew they endured for too long, and suffered lots of damage.
"What was that?" Sara slowly stood up next, followed by everyone else. They all looked feeble, like flames about to get extinguished by the wind at any moment.
"I frankly have no clue," William paused, "but the protection that man gained came originally from that mysterious figure. I believe there are more secrets hidden behind him... Lara, he is indeed dangerous."
"I know what to do," she paused, trying to stand but ended up getting swayed. If not for William to move fast and support her, she'd have fallen.
"Hey, hey, stop these silly games... This fox is mine!" Anjie roared from the side, while not being able to stand erect on her own without supporting something.
"I'm hurt, like you, can't you see that?" Even if Lara said that, she still leant over William's broad chest, felt its warmth, and that made her heart pump more vigorously.I think you should take a look at
"I'm going to teach you a lesson, later on," Anjie promised, and as Lara was technically hugging William, she tugged her head aside, and extended her tongue to tease Lara.
"Enough, don't you know I can use spirit sense here?" William was a bit speechless by what Lara did, but couldn't help but intervene before a bloodbath would erupt between the two girls, "we need to rest, all of us. These injuries won't heal by anything else but rest and time."
He turned his head around, before adding, "Let's rest here. As for you..." he looked down at the all-comfortable and relaxed Lara, "didn't you say you have something to do?"
"I'm weak," Lara suddenly spoke in a low tone, as if she was whispering or something, "Can you... Carry me please?"
"B*tch!" Anjie wasn't the only one enraged by Lara's daring actions, but other girls remained silent, watched and enjoyed the show.
"What? I'm your princess after all," Lara said as if her words carried tons of logic and righteousness, "I came second, don't you remember?"
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "There was just one winner, don't you remember?" Anjie couldn't believe what Lara was saying, or how she could argue about such a known matter. And yet she missed the whole point in the middle of her rage... Lara was trying to buy more time, to remain in William's embrace.
Yet the latter put an end to all this, slowly carrying Lara's body under the shocked eyes of all the girls and even the rest of his friends. And when everyone thought about something lewd, he simply placed her on a seat, before walking away.
"Rest here as long as you want," he said, not only to the stupefied Lara but to everyone else, "contact the leaders of the city, warn them about this man. This man must be held captive and interrogated, so... Keep it secret."
"..." Lara was still unable to fathom what William did. She thought she successfully tempted and lured him, ending up with her having a nice time privately, only the two of them in a locked room or something.
But William resisted her charm, and that granted her a tugged-out tongue from Anjie before the latter climbed up and swayed to the ground.
"Stop playing around," William hurried to support Anjie, and this time the latter threw her body literally over him, forcing him to carry her.
"I'm weak," she imitated Lara, making everyone look towards the latter, waiting for her response.
And yet Lara knew she lost this attempt, however, she didn't lose the war over William.
The males could already sniff gunpowder and blood floating in the air, while the other girls eyed the two of them with anticipation.
