Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master



From his experience with his guild, it took at least one year for the name of the Fox guild and its products to be renown far and wide.

William felt like he didn't get such a long time to waste here. From what Lara said, he learnt how grand the wealth Larry paid for other elders and consultants to select Richard.

And that told him this move from Larry and Richard wasn't just to appoint a temporary leader. It felt like they were buying the permanent seat of the leader of the family.

"I'll leave this for later then," as he had no viable solution, he decided to wait and let things go in their natural way. He relayed the intel he got about the impacts working in construction business over to his vices, asking to start recruiting lots of them.

He wanted to get done with the building process in less than a week. As for the general layout of his guild, he decided to do it like what he did back at the guild place at the Scorching Lands city.

William stayed in the Vancouf family place for the next five days. During which, his newly acquired territory was being remodelled, with a grand construction project happening there.

At the same time, William got a lot of news about the hostile movement of many forces inside the city against him. It happened as he expected. The moment news spread about him establishing a branch of his guild and the negative propaganda and fierce oppression started.

These forces didn't just stop at spreading false rumours about him. They even appointed many of their people to surround his guild branch, stopping anyone from entering the new guild branch land without harassing them.

Inside the city, rules applied and prevented anyone from fighting among themselves. William had no other way to handle this situation as the other forces played by the rules, only harassed those coming in and out from his guild branch with words.

But it was enough to create lots of pressure over anyone working for him. If this continued, William knew the chances of him recruiting lots of masters would be quite low.

William got nothing in his power to do anything against all this but to wait until the entire process of construction would end. He already got examples of the treatment other forces offered to their people. But that didn't help that much.

As he already foresaw it, once the word spread about his guild branch getting established, the terms these forces offered to their people got tripled. Many forces even raised these terms by five folds, making it quite hard to compete with them in terms of wealth.

William knew if he entered into a battle of deep pockets with them, he'd suffer a lot in the end. Besides, not many would try to come and join him.

"It shall be ready by tomorrow," William was now standing on a balcony at the highest floor in this building. Lara made sure to evacuate the entire floor for him, and he appreciated such a move.

It was the fifth day, and the construction process was already on the verge of completion. William spent another ten billion crystals to make things that would take a month to end in mere five days or so.

"My name is like shining gold in any place but here… What a bunch of bastards they are!" William was growing enraged by the daring actions the different forces of the city did in the past days.

They didn't limit their actions at trying to stop anyone from joining the guild, they even started to spread rumours about an affair between him and Lara. he didn't know if such rumours originated from the various forces or from inside the Vancouf family itself. But such rumours left a shadow over Lara.

She wasn't acting herself in the past couple of days. She didn't speak about any of these rumours, and William got to hear about them just yesterday from his team.

He didn't have anything to say about this matter. He just decided to do the same like Lara, ignoring speaking about all this.

As he stood on that balcony, he overlooked the lots of portals around. The place was like an airport, with many masters flashing either in or out, coming into this place or leaving it.

"Wait a minute… I was thinking wrongly about all this from the start…" Just as he was lost in thoughts, watching the portals around and the people coming and going, his mind suddenly shone with a brilliant idea.

William couldn't believe how he missed such a simple and yet brilliantly effective idea. "I want to ask you about something… You have a thing like a VIP membership for using these portals, right?"

Any place in the world, any business place, got something like that offered to his privileged customers. William held Lara's Bullet tightly with both hands, as if he was waiting for the most important response in his life.

[Oh sure, we got different memberships for individuals and forces. But why?] she seemed to be in the middle of a meeting or something, seemingly not getting what he really wanted to do by asking this.

"Well, how much will it cost for my guild then? And how much privilege can we get?"

[That… There are lots of systems to satisfy different needs. Tell me what you have in mind, and I can tell you what's suitable for you]

"I want something that will grant my guild members free access through your portals, no strings attached, no limits enforced… Is there anything like this?" This was William's brilliant idea.

William's name was famous at many places in the continent. All this time he struggled to try and think of a way to recruit masters from this city. Yet he was greatly limiting his options by thinking this way.

This city might seem like the Scorching Lands fort in many ways, but it had one single and grand difference than the fort. And that difference was these portals!
