Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

What if people learnt he was someone who came from the future? Someone who held his memories from all his past life? Aside from the struggle they'd feel to believe such a thing, William felt he'd not lose anything if others knew.

So, he stopped worrying about such a thing a long time ago. He already decided to act normally and take full advantage of what he knew, without caring too much about what others knew or felt.

"Do I look this pretty or what?" After staying silent like this for the entire five minutes, William couldn't help but laugh while throwing a joke.

"I'm just trying to guess how such a kid, coming from a weak academy, one without any clan or a big family behind his back, can reach such a level of intelligence."

"Call it luck."

"I don't believe in luck."

"Then call it luck for someone like me meeting my master when I was young."

"I'm too curious about meeting that master of yours," the old man kept his serious glare fixed at William before suddenly laughing, "but why settling for a half assed solution when I got the entire package in front of me?"

"What do you mean?"

"If I got you, then it's like getting not only a rare talent like yourself, but also the master behind your back."

"I beg to differ."

"No, you won't, hahahaha!" the old man laughed as if he didn't care about what William thought, "you are going to serve me for fifty years. In return for that, your team will be freed to go wherever they want. And as you are going to be by my side for all this time, you are going to meet up with your master frequently. And I'll end up meeting that awesome lady anyway. What do you think? Quite brilliant idea, right? Hahahaha!"

"Quite brilliant indeed," unlike what the old man expected, William was sitting calmly without a single speck of worry or anxiety on his face.

"Why do I feel like you are joking here?"

"No, seriously it's a genius plan," William waved both arms in the air, as if he was helpless towards this plan of the old man. And when the old man kept glaring at him, he clapped his hands as if he was applauding the effort this man placed in coming up with such an idea.

"But?"

"Who said I'm going to say but?"

"Damn! How come you are growing more annoying than before?" the old man narrowed his eyes, "come on! Tell me your piece, what surprising twist you are going to use to get out of such a trap?"

"It's indeed a trap, but…" William couldn't control himself and laughed again, "you missed a tiny detail here."

"I'm deadly curious to know what it is!"

"I won't need my team anymore," William suddenly stood up, moved his hands around as if he was removing dust off his uniform and gears, "you can have and do whatever you wish with them. I don't need any deadweight on my shoulders."

"You…" the old man couldn't control himself, stood abruptly up, leading to his seat to fall on the ground in a loud thud, "I swear I'll torture them, make them regret getting even born in this era!"

"That's their problem, not mine," William turned around, waving his hand as he started to walk away, "and good luck in dealing with my two ex-girlfriend's enraged grandfathers."

"I don't fear anyone! I fear none!"

"I'm just wishing you good luck here," William stood at the door, pushing it to open as he added, "after all, the circle of those especially strong spirit masters is quite narrow. Your friends are theirs as well. And no matter what, a mountain can't stand alone against the constant rain falling down on it."

"Screw you!"

*Bang!*

And just like a bomb exploded in front of his face, that wooden and old looking door suddenly slammed shut in William's face, hitting him hard, sending his body flying, crossing the small room like a deflated balloon, before finally hitting the opposite wall and making all the scrolls and thick spiderwebs there fall to the ground.

"Who said you are free to leave? Your fate is in my hands!"

"Then f*cking kill me!" William got instantly enraged, no lesser than this old man. He knew this was the only possible way to get himself and his team freed from the clutches of this old man.

He got to fight! And he had to risk his life on the line to get out from here alive, with everything he had, without losing anything.

The fierce reaction of that old man came as expected by him. So, the moment his body landed on the ground, he hurriedly stood up, took everything he got out once more, and was ready for a deadly fight.

"Killing you? Hmm… This is an interesting move indeed…"

And when William expected the explosion of that old man's wrath in front of him, all he got was a soft chuckle.

In front of William's eyes, that old man forced his fallen seat to rise up in its place again using his power, before seating on it calmly as if nothing ever happened.

"I admire your courage and genuinity, however you are taking me too lightly. It's quite boring and idiotic if you thought I'd fall for such a trick."

"It was worth trying though," William realised that his real intentions here got seen through. What he wanted to do was to create a big fuss, too big for this old man to not be able to contain it inside this room, not even inside the walls of this impact.

William wanted to attract more eyes towards here and use this chance to find anyone who could save him and his team from such a desperate situation.

But the old man didn't fall for such a trick, and calmly foiled everything by sitting on his seat with such an annoying calm smile on his face.
