William had initially thought that, despite Alice's somewhat lacking aptitude, she should be able to break Jeffrey's mental illusion within an hour with a single strike of her sword.
During her battle in Ravenwood, she had even managed to employ her sword aura and pressure effectively.
Logically, after learning from William for so long, breaking such a minor illusion should have been no problem for her.
However, by 11:30 PM, when Wes called again, William asked, "Deputy Director Wenzel, when will you arrive?"
"I'm already downstairs. Just hand your phone to Jeffrey, and I'll speak to him directly," replied Wes. He and Zoey had actually been nearby for quite some time, but they weren't in a hurry. The two even had a late-night snack nearby.
According to Wes, since William had injured someone and was being held, it wasn't a big deal to let him be taught a lesson.
