William wasn't someone who'd do something without having a total faith in his victory. Since the first time he saw him, at the Golden Fork restaurant, he knew this kid wasn't simple.
And the more he interacted with him, the more he became sure of this feeling.
"No, I will bet on your win," Thomas took a moment of pause before saying his response. And without feeling it, he said it in a firm way, a way that made William's smile broader and even nodded in satisfaction from Thomas' swift response.
William knew if Thomas thought by logic in his mind, then he'd just bet against him. Yet he made his decision based on his heart, and he seemed to slowly understand William's mind.
"Good boy," William said, "sure you can join. Bet everything you have, as in the end, you'll walk away with wealth you'd never ever have in your life."
"I'm sure of this," Thomas laughed, "but master… May I ask something?"
"Anything."
