Deep inside him, he wanted to cry, out of laughing at these guards. They were old, and yet they got outplayed well with a kid who was close to half of their age.
"This…" and like what William expected, all of the guards, alongside anyone else listening to his words, all had a sudden change in their faces.
"They got killed by the dark spirit masters. And so, I came here to avenge them!"
"Kid… This is truly admirable… Tell me, what's your name again?" the first guard who spoke with William asked, while his face showed no sign of ridicule, only respect.
"I'm William."
"Listen up William, I'm Jack, and I'm much older than you, right?"
"Yes sir."
"Then tell me, is it better to go out there, play the role of hero and make yourself get killed? Tell me, is that how you want to avenge your parents?"
"But sir…"
"Just listen to my words, look into my eyes, and tell me, do you think I'm fooling or tricking you?"
"No sir!"
