Chapter 396 Come with me to a place.
William's message was crystal clear. Hadn't Sebastian just claimed that those who defy him never end well?
But look at Astraeus, who had just flatly refused Sebastian.
Such intimidation resembled the villains in novels, arrogantly proclaiming their omnipotence, only to embarrass themselves at critical moments, much like those overconfident yet perpetually stumbling comic characters.
"If I fail, then..." but then things go awry, ending in awkward defeat.
It seemed Sebastian was also enacting such a farce this time.
"Young man, you don't get to speak here!" Sebastian's sharp gaze fell on William, his attitude resembling that of a seasoned villain, intending to make William submit.
With a slight upturn of his mouth, William watched as Sebastian suddenly turned and slapped Dominic heavily on the head.
As a Quasi-Deity level powerhouse, Sebastian's strike instantly took Dominic's life, leaving only a drifting soul behind. The dark, mysterious force that had enveloped him rapidly dissipated.
Everyone was stunned.
What just happened?
Sebastian was stunned too.
What had just transpired?
In the moment he turned to William, his memory experienced a brief gap.
Then, he found that he had killed Dominic!
He didn't understand exactly what had happened, but there was no doubt that someone among them had just interfered with his mind and controlled his body.
Is there really such a person in this world?
He didn't have time to deal with Dominic's body, as his back was already covered in cold sweat from the shock. n--o/-v-)e/-l-)b-.1(-n
Whoever that person was, they were undoubtedly much more powerful than him!
Provoking that person further could lead to consequences far beyond his capacity to bear.
"I apologize! Please forgive my offense!"
Sebastian was unsure whether the real powerhouse was William or Alice, but he felt it was one of them.
Not daring to ask outright, he awkwardly bowed and quickly left with Dominic's body.
In Mystic Attic, the onlookers, unaware of the true circumstances, turned their gaze towards Alice.
Was this what they called a master hidden in plain sight?
Sebastian's previously intimidating demeanor had transformed dramatically.
He, who didn't even regard Astraeus, had to bow and apologize in front of Alice, and even killed a young member of his own Guild on the spot!
...!
The disparity in strength was clear to see!
Alice took a deep breath and replied, "Not really that scared."
Suddenly interested, William gave a mysterious smile and said, "Come with me to a place."
"Where?" Alice looked puzzled.
Where were they going now? Why did she have a bad feeling about this? Every time William said something like this, it seemed to never be anything good.
"A great place!"
Alice didn't get a chance to refuse and followed William a long way until finally...
"The view from this cliff is amazing!" Alice stood on the edge of a steep cliff, marveling at the magnificent sunset before her, and said with a laugh, "You didn't bring me here just to watch the sunset, did you?"
Alice hadn't expected William to have such a romantic side.
Previously, she always thought of William as emotionally oblivious, almost like a robot when it came to love.
It appeared she had completely misunderstood him.
"Jump down!" William stood next to Alice, looking down at the profound canyon. The height was dizzying, as if it led to another world, shrouded in thick fog with the bottom completely obscured.
According to an ancient legend, whenever the "Chosen One" jumps into the abyss during an adventure, mysterious treasures await them.
This pattern always seemed to hold true in movies and novels.
By this logic, if Alice jumped, she might really encounter some surprise.
William, of course, lacked nothing, but this was an interesting experiment.
He wanted to verify whether, as a person chosen by the Cosmic Entity, her destiny was truly that powerful and her luck incredibly good.
"..." Alice seriously doubted her ears and stared at William in disbelief.
"You heard me right, jump down!" William said. "Now is the time to train your courage. There are treasures below."
Alice couldn't help but laugh through her tears, "Stop joking, you know I'm afraid of heights."
Back in Ravenwood, she didn't even have the courage to cross a bridge, and now William was asking her to jump off a cliff, and such a high one at that.
William reassured her, "Don't worry, you'll be fine if you jump."
"Will you catch me below?" Alice felt her blood pressure rise. Even bungee jumping wasn't this thrilling, and bungee jumping always involved safety ropes!
If William was going to catch her, maybe she could muster up the courage to jump with her eyes closed.
But William shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't catch you at the bottom of the cliff."
"..." Alice felt utterly devastated. Was this some kind of ruthless guy who took advantage of a girl and then got rid of her by throwing her off a cliff?
And he still told her not to worry – how could she possibly not worry?
"Are you going to jump or not? If you don't, I might have to push you," William pondered, adding, "If I push you, the effect might be even better."
Recently, William had read quite a few fantasy novels. If a person is pushed off a cliff by someone close to them, the chances of finding a treasure might double.
"Wait! Can you at least tell me why?" Alice was on the verge of tears, "Don't you love me anymore?"
William laughed, "I just want to see if you'll find treasures like the protagonists in those novels after jumping down."
