Even those who threatened to leave, ended up halting in their steps. And they weren't to be blamed, even in this fort, such a number of spirit crystals was considered a decent wealth for many.
The eyes of those around turned from mocking William into firing up in pure greed. William noticed this and his smile turned into a grin, while he started to store his spirit crystals slowly, in a slower pace than how he took them out in the first place.
"Holy sh*t!"
"T… Ten million spirit crystals as a bet?"
"For what exactly?"
"Yes, tell us the conditions!"
"Tell us everything!"
"I want to join, regardless of what, I want to join!"
As William took his time in taking the crystals back, many started to exclaim in shock and excitement. And soon enough, the entire place was blown out, turned literally into a circus.
What William did was to take more time in storing the crystals, letting the fire fester and the excitement to spread and even explode.
