Thomas got what his master wanted and shouted on the top of his lungs at the surrounding people.
"William?! So, his name is William?"
"He is here!"
"Open path! Let him pass, let's get this starting!"
"I'm dying to see what's going to happen, how he's going to die!"
"Yes, me too, hahahaha! It'll be fun!"
Thomas was slightly enraged, but a single warning glance from William made the former control himself. The people started to part ways, creating a space for him and Thomas to pass through.
As the two passed, they heard many whispers and loud comments like the ones they heard before. And when William arrived at his territory's gate, he lost count of how many insults and rude comments he heard, and most were hoping to see him die.
After all, most if not all of those here came to bet against his success.
