Opening his heavy eyes, Williams yawned tiredly. He tried to discern where he was but his eyes were blurry and he could only make out some distorted images of some trees and houses.
"Hugh...Ouch" he was about to stand up when he felt some ringing in his head. The ringing seems to drill into his brain. "Haaa... Huff huff.... Haaaaaa" He tried to withstand the pain but even with his insane willpower he was breaking down because of the pain.
He fainted under the ardent pain. Far from him, Kara sat on a tree as she stared at his body, shaking her head she sighed. "I didn't expect the side effect to be this strong.... Hope you get better soon" she jumped down and magically blended with the shadows.

By the time Williams woke up, it was morning. He tried to remember what occurred to him the other day but all his effort was bootless. All he could make out was that he was currently on his way to the exiles when he heard the sound of fighting, he had wanted to go see what was happening himself and..... "Oh, I must have been attacked by one of those monsters on my way here. I better be careful next time".
He walked forward and actually saw traces of the battle taken place there, "It seems I'm right" He saw pieces of shredded flesh covered with black scales and stained with clotted black blood. He continue inspecting around when he finally saw it the dead body of the mutilated scorpion, "Hmmm strange, why did all of this seems familiar". In his mind he tried to play the scene of what was happened here but it all appeared as if the memory was inside his head yet at the same time not. "Forget it.... I'm going crazy man" he murmured then went off.
Hours later, A figure in rag stood before an extremely large gate. His clothes and shoes were tattered and there was stains on his face. The gate measured about 100m wide and 50m tall, "How did they manage to build this".
The mysterious strode forward with large strides, he was stopped just as he was going to pass through the small opening.
"Who are you? State your purpose"
Quickly kneeling down, the man raised a basket of orange up with trembling hands, "I-I-I was banished out from my previous city so I want to seek comfort here".
One of the guards stepped out, he was a burly looking man. He collected the orange from the man's hand and allowed him entry.
After getting into the city Williams was shocked by what he saw, the city was bustling with a lot of people both both men and women. He could swore that this place was the most dirtiest place he had been to, the drainage were unkept. Heck! Even the house were on their last leg.
Williams walked forward towards a small hotel and lodged a room for two days. Although he was surprised when he heard the high cost but he still paid anyway. All he cost him was two swords he had randomly picked up on his way here, "Why do I feel like I'm being cheated on".
He naturally knew that those piece of weapon were worth more. The manger flashed him a huge grin and said proudly, "Our hotel is one of the best you can find in here, plus we have nice rooms, soft bed and nice shower with a maid to guard you on your stay. You are lucky brother, we just brought in some cream of the crops. They will definitely satisfy all your pent up frustration."
"Ha" Williams exclaimed then the corners of his mouth lift up as he watched the man in disdain, "What do you take me for, do I look like a stupid person that would take advantage of innocent girls." He retorted angrily but his voice died down when he finally realize his mistake. This was the Exile, he needed to act mysterious.
His eye turned soft as he wrapped his arm around the man and whispered to his hair, "What I was trying to prove is that, I don't downgrade myself by coming so low as to wooing maids, I like to go for the higher ones."
Well since he was here he would have some little fun before killing Kan. He needed to build connections with the higher ups before meeting Kan through one of them. He wasn't stupid as to thinking that he would take all of them head on, after killing Kan he would flew on his tails back to the headquarter.
Unexpectedly, the manager yanked him away and he broke a chair in the process. "With your smelling body and ugly looks forget about getting those with high standards, even the ones maid will run from you." the manager spat out as he ordered his men to clean up the description then he returned to his office unconcerned about Williams again.
Due to the recent disturbance, all eyes were set on him which he found awkward in his current state.
He quickly went upstairs and entered room 8 which he has been given the key to. After entering Williams quickly ran to the bathroom to have a nice bath, after then he changed his clothes and fell on the bed.
Thud. The bed made some strange sound when Williams fell on it and he actually found it harder than normal. Hmmmm. Williams removed the mattress on it and saw that it was actually covering the wooden bed beneath. Immediately he lifted his head up and shouted, "DAMN YOU MANAGER"
Downstairs. The people who were having a session at the hotel's restaurant dropped their spoon and leave angrily. In another office, a woman shouted on top of her voice, "Which motherfucker dare chase my customers away, manager! Bring him here.
Currently upstairs, Williams lied down on the bed while grumbling, nice shower, soft bed and beautiful maids. All bullshit!!! He screamed internally.
*Knock* He was already pissed up, hearing the knocking sound made his blood boil from anger. He stood up and opened the door reluctantly.
"Y-you!" The manager pointed his finger at Williams with wide eyes. How did this idiot became so handsome.
"Why are you disturbing me?" Williams asked coldly.
"The boss wanna see you" The manager said.
"I look forward to it".
