"Why?" William Merlin was a bit worried. Sauss was his last hope in Thousand Sails City! If even Sauss couldn't help him, then his only remaining option would be to force himself to face Mafa Merlin directly.
"William, I still have something to do. I won't be able to keep you company. Say hello to your father when you return." Sauss' voice was a bit apologetic. He truly felt sorry that he couldn't help William. He couldn't repay his friendship and wouldn't be able to take advantage of this chance to get closer to the Merlin Family.
But Sauss would rather be sorry than become Mafa Merlin's enemy.
Sauss awkwardly chuckled and then left the wooden house.
"Gr-Great Mage Bell, wha… What is going on?" William was stunned for a while. After recovering, he asked Bell, still at a loss.
