Chapter 376 [Bonus ] Teasing Ro
She kept speaking, yet her tone was loud, and she kept waving her fists everywhere, not like how she usually acted.
That told William how nervous and insecure she felt. "It's alright, I'm just someone who can do miracles. Just look around, I'm going to have a private land and residence for my team, lots of spirit crystals, and a membership in such an awesome restaurant. If you said no to free delicious and expensive food on your tables for every single meal after joining me, then forget it. I won't even bother offering you anything and will look for other teams."
"L… Look for others?!!!" she blinked, and William could already hear her running saliva as she gulped after hearing his words.
She didn't get it, but when she spoke about this place, she spoke like a dreamer speaking of his life goal or something. This wasn't just a nice place to eat at, it was a symbol for prestige and position in the fort as William guessed.
And like any girl, she just adored feeling privileged and special. William was just toying with her, as he knew he got her and her team in his pocket the moment she exposed his real intentions.
Or else, if she really refused to join him, then she wouldn't have said anything. She would have, instead, kept everything inside her chest, and worked from the shadows to foil William's plans.
She could have waited until he bought that necklace and exposed his real intentions, then she'd drop his offer and leave.
This was what William would do if he was in her place. And that told him she already agreed on his offer.
"I will look for other teams, whether you joined us or not," William crossed his arms, enjoying the look on her face, "you and your team are quite special, but don't take it wrong… You aren't the only special team out there."
"To recruit others, you'll need…" she was about to attack, exposing how it was quite difficult to recruit teams here. Spirit masters offering their services here were quite pricey. She wanted to tell him that someone from a weak academy wouldn't be able to handle these teams' demands.
But she instantly realised that amidst her momentarily scare, she missed what he just did and got. He gained land, a base for the team, and enough money to pay not only for a single team, but for ten!
Not to mention he got that allure of the membership of this restaurant here, something that many would see as a very tempting point to join his side.
"Need what exactly?" William could clearly see through her thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh, "come on! Just admit it and join me."
"No!" she still acted stubborn, "we won't!"
"The offer is open till tomorrow then," William shrugged, as if he didn't care at all about her rejection. And his attitude made her feel like he knew he already got her and her team in his pocket.
She really wanted to join him. But seeing that smug look and smile over his face made her want to say no over and over again.
"Excuse me sir," and just before she'd say anymore, a servant came with a tray filled with food, "this is a humble gift from our master."
William looked around, on the top of this dude's shoulder, but couldn't see Alfonso anywhere. It seemed he arranged this meal before leaving to arrange things at his end.
"Tell my thanks over to your master," William accepted the gift, turned to the all stupefied Ro, "come, let's eat together. Sigh! I wanted to say this won't be our last amazing meal together but the first, and yet I can't. Sorry, but only dudes in my team will enjoy such privilege. Let's eat and enjoy ourselves for now, worry about tomorrow when it comes."
William didn't wait for her and started eating from the dishes that got served to him. He didn't even stop there and kept expressing how delicious and great the taste was, raining all praises over the chefs and this place.
He didn't need to lie, as this food was indeed quite delicious. Not to mention the great benefits his body was enjoying right now.
Ro kept eating in silence, with mixed emotions. It was her first time visiting and eating here. So, it was expected how much impressed she was about these meals.
pàпdá-ňᴏνêι.сóМ She heard legends about this place, and it seemed stories never gave this place the credit it deserved. And with William's on the spot comments, she couldn't help but crave to enjoy such an extravagant meal every single day.
"Do you know what's the best thing about all this?" As they finished eating, and while they were wiping their hands and mouths clean using white and wet tissues, William said.
"What?" Ro already got used to William's annoying comments and praise.
"We ate, enjoyed our time, and won't pay for any of this."
"No way!" her eyes went all round, "you are going to exchange your cores for crystals, so it's like you already paid for this meal."
"No, it's not," William firmly shook his head, "you heard him, it's on the house. And that means it's a free meal regardless of our deal, hahahaha! A free meal in the most luxurious place in the forte, hahahaha! Isn't it awesome? Isn't being with me awesome? Hahahaha!"
Her face kept getting darker the more he laughed. And no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find a single word or logic to respond with back at him.
