"Oops?! What do you mean, oops! Let me go!" Berphanses clearly hadn't been paying attention to the information about William. The only emotion within the man was his intense anger and surprise that someone was able to casually capture him without even a chance to resist.
Berphanses mobilized his mental energy and tried to activate an Artifact, but the Confinement Array prevented it from happening. He promptly gave up, accepting that his fate was in the hands of this absurdly powerful young man that didn't understand the idea of knocking.
William didn't bother with the woman and took the restrained Berphanses back to the Velos Faction through a long-distance portal. He didn't have to verify with Vitruvius on the man's identity, so he just dropped the man off with a note and traveled to the final Faction, Andorea.
