BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1264: I Have My Reasons
"Jenny, the one I sent out there, is already out for a couple days. So yeah, we have only one week, give or take…"
"Ok," Sloth got the point, "that means we have no time to waste. Let\'s start with the task I need to do…"
"No, the top priority now is to go down there and start gathering materials," William turned to his friends, focusing his eyes on Lara, "I\'ll leave this task for you to handle."
"Sure…" Lara was feeling confused like many, but at least she knew this task was doable. The underground city was a dangerous place, but only for those who intended to camp there and live inside the protective arrays.
But for those coming to attack and leave, doing stuff like gathering materials, it was going to be a bit safer. So, she nodded, started to arrange things with her city masters, while Berry and others started to arrange the guild masters.
"Why are you standing here?" Sara\'s mother noticed her daughter was still standing like a statue, not moving with anyone around, "go and play with your friends."
"I\'m not a kid anymore," Sara weakly muttered, but didn\'t say anything else, didn\'t even budge an inch.
"You…" her mother eyed her up and down, before shaking off her head in disappointment, "can\'t believe my womb carried such a weak assed girl in the end… What a waste!"
"You need to change your attitude with her," William felt annoyed by what Sara\'s mother said.
"Or what?" Sara\'s mother crossed her arms in defiance, "this is me; this is how her mother is, and if she doesn\'t like it, let her go and find another mother then!"
"..." Sara heard those words and couldn\'t tolerate it anymore. She turned around and left in silence. Even if she didn\'t cry, William could easily tell she was struggling to not let her tears out.
"You are… Pathetic person," William turned his eyes towards Sara\'s mother and couldn\'t help but sigh.
"She can\'t depend on me, not before, not now, not in the future," Sara\'s mother slowly said, without even looking at her daughter\'s devastated look from afar, "she needs to forget about me… This is the way… This is the only way…"
"Sigh!" William knew what Sara\'s mother did with her daughter was intentional. She wanted to kick Sara away, knowing she\'d only bring harm to her daughter if she acted in a different way.
And yet this was too cruel, even for William who could read through everything. But this problem was something very personal for Sara, and he trusted she\'d do good handling it herself.
All he could do now was to make sure Sara\'s mother slowly interacts with her during the upcoming preparations for the battle. As for if her mother decided to change attitude or not, this wasn\'t up for him to decide or control.
It didn\'t take more than an hour for this part of the city to get evacuated. The city that looked bustling with activity and filled with tons of masters was now looking more desolate and calmer.
"Now… What do you have in mind?" Only the big names in Lara\'s city remained behind, alongside Sara\'s mother, Sara, Lara, Anjie, Fang and Sloth. The latter was curious to hear William\'s thoughts about the upcoming battle.
"The enemies coming are going to be relentlessly hard to kill," William looked around, "those coming will be on the same level of strength as those here, and their number… It\'ll be way higher than just one thousand."
"More than one thousand? But…"
"Your palace guard is indeed just one thousand," William interrupted Sara\'s mother\'s words before adding, "however she won\'t just come with them. She\'ll rally more."
"More? But why?" Sloth started to feel more headache about the entire situation.
"She knows how much power Sara\'s mother has here, and that will make her prepare more."
"Won\'t Jenny say they were killed?!" Sara\'s mother was speechless for a few seconds, "you asked her to keep this secret?"
"You did?!!" Everyone looked at William in disbelief. The way it looked, William intentionally and deliberately hid this information from Lingerie.
"I have my reasons," William just said this, and Fang couldn\'t help but point at him.
"You want to get more loot from that world, don\'t dare to say I\'m wrong!"
"Hehehe," William rubbed his nose when Fang exposed him.
"Come on! For real!"
"You want more loot? Unbelievable!"

"You can\'t be serious!"
Everyone couldn\'t help but look around, where the dead bodies of Sara\'s master were. William already flashed and gathered everything on their bodies while others were busy sending everyone to the underground city.
He didn\'t entrust such a task to himself. Every single piece of armour, cloth, and rings were collected by him.
He knew how extremely valuable these were to him and other masters in this world. He couldn\'t say the same if they were in the outer world. But if he got a chance to gather more of these precious materials and stuff from the outer world, he wouldn\'t hesitate to do so.
"Easy everyone," when Sloth noticed how agitated everyone was towards William\'s scheme, "if I know something of this little bastard, then he won\'t do anything he isn\'t confident in winning it!"
"It seems you started to know me very well," William couldn\'t help but laugh when he heard these words. And that made everyone settle a little bit.
"Still, it\'s a very dangerous situation," Sara\'s mother paused, "how much exactly do you expect her to send?"
"From twenty up to one hundred thousand masters," William looked at the sky that was going dark at this moment, "it\'s not bad for a good harvest, right?"
