Chapter 180: Chapter 180 - Hasty Timing
While Adam was thinking of the terrible thing Clawdia could have done to him at the moment, William had another thought as he looked at him.
'Hmm the way he is right now tells me that either he knew what Clawdia and I were talking about or she did something that made him act like that.'
'It doesn't look like it could be the first one. His build should be similar to that of a swordsman and I don't see any swordsman having any kind of skill that represents the mind domain.'
'Or most likely he doesn't have any. The guy doesn't look like a manipulator so he shouldn't have that skill.'
'Then that only means the latter had happened. I don't know what Clawdia did but it did something to him.'
'The guy looked terrified for a moment as if he was about to be attacked by something dangerous.
Clawdia is dangerous so his reaction is quite genuine.'
'Well at least it's good to know that Clawdia has the strength to terrify him without using her real strength. That would be handy many times.'
'That also means she should be physically powerful enough to take care of him as well so no need to worry about another crazy wanted subordinate.'
'I really need a strong subordinate with loyalty just like Clawdia's. But where would I find someone like that?'
William stopped thinking any more and got up as he patted the dust that was on him. He put Clawdia inside his clothes again but in a way that her head was still out to observe what's in front of her.
"Alright, let's go then."
Adam got up from his defensive posture and sheathed his sword as he asked.
"Where are we going?"
William didn't look back as he said.
"To get you that sword."
Adam was shocked at those words. He couldn't believe the kid was actually going to stay true to his words and buy him that sword.
He was about to confirm with him again but saw that William had already left the collapsed building.
So he quickly got out of the building and followed behind him.
William walked out with Clawdia and his guards huddled around him like dogs. He couldn't help but snicker at their attempt to please him.

'You guys can't do anything when Real danger happens and are trying to overshow yourselves in an open space with nothing dangerous in it.'
'I pay these guys too much for too little.'
William stopped before his blue car and one guard close to him immediately opened the door for him but William didn't go in.
He looked at the destroyed area around him before ordering his people.
"Have someone clean this place up and also rebuild the restaurant as it was before."
William said and was about to get in but saw that his guards only nodded to his words and weren't really doing anything about it.
"NOW"
The bodyguards quickly scrambled like chicken and some called the construction people and cleaning services while some tried to clean the mess themselves.
William could only shake his head at their work as he got in the car.
Adam came out and saw that William had already gotten in the car and was about to leave. He didn't know whether to follow him or stay here so he stood.
"What are you doing standing like that? Come, we have somewhere to go."
Adam quickly got in and sat in the car as it turned on and started moving out of here.
In the car, Adam just silently looked at everything while William was playing with the tablet. After a while of staying quiet like that he suddenly asked.
"Are you really going to buy that sword?"
William just nodded to his words and 'Hmm'ed' him.
"So… when are you going to do that?"
"Why so quirky. I'll buy you the sword man, no need to get so agitated over it."
Adam realized that he was right and tried to calm himself as he was getting energetic over the thought of getting that sword.
"Do you know when the auction starts or when they will showcase the sword?" William asked as he was looking at his tablet.
"... I think it should be any day now. It could be tomorrow or the day after that."
"Unfortunately it's neither of those." William said as he looked at something with a small smile.
"Then is it going to start a few days later?"
"Nope" William said as he turned the tablet for Adam to see. "It's today."
Adam looked at the glass tablet and saw that the date to open the auction house was 16th of June, Which was today.
He became a little shocked at that. His intel had clearly told him that the auction house would open a few days later or might be even longer. But this was not long.
"How can this be? I clearly had intel that it was going to open a few days later."
"Either the person who gave you the intel was outdated or something must have happened."
Adam quickly rejected the first opinion, "No the guy who gives the intel is pretty updated so something must have happened for them to make such a hasty decision."
William nodded as he asked.
"Did something strange happen here that could have been the cause?"
Adam shook his head, "Not something that I know of. The city had been pretty quiet except for the big shots who've come here for the auction house."
"Okay, then did they know that you have arrived here for the sword?"
"No… at least I was very careful not to make it seem like that.
I shouldn't be on their radar yet. I haven't gone anywhere close to the auction house so that shouldn't be possible."
"Alright then, let's forget about that. We are going to the auction house anyway so it doesn't matter if it starts a little earlier.
As long as I get you that sword then it won't matter."
Adam sighed in relief as he heard that. He then slowly slid down at his seat as he closed his eyes in excitement.
A small smile could be seen appearing on his face as he smirked a few times but suddenly that smile turned upside down as he opened his eyes and quickly got up.
"What about the invite?"
William didn't understand what he meant so he asked.
"What about it?"
"We need an exclusive invite from the auction house itself so that we can be allowed to participate in the auction itself."
William had a thoughtful expression to him as he said.
"Okay, now that is something to worry about."
He suddenly typed something in the tablet as it rang slowly before someone picked it up.
"Hello"
Adam heard a rough voice speaking but couldn't see where it came from.
William didn't look in any direction as he spoke into the air.
"Hey Delmar, what is this about an invite I'm hearing about."
"Boss, The invite is crucial if you want to participate in the auction.
Fortunately for us, we already got one so we don't need to worry about anything… except for the huge amount of money you're about to spend."
