"Mr. Johnson, what's the deal with that guy?" Seraphina was curious about why William would take an interest in someone like Damien.
A mere mid-level Soulmancer, was he really worth William's attention?
"That child is my student," William explained. "If he gets scared later, help him calm down."
Calm him down?
Seraphina hadn't expected that this was the reason she was brought along by William.
But she agreed nonetheless. Could she really refuse something William asked of her?
Instead of taking the elevator, William appeared directly in Damien's room.
Damien was about to perform a secret ritual to exchange blood with Silas, aiming to later take over his Divine Constitution.
When William appeared in the room, Damien was clearly startled, then his face twisted into a strange smile. "What do you want to do? Who let you into my room?"
"What do you think?" William glanced at the oak barrel in the corner and raised an eyebrow.
