The old man coughed and said
“Indeed, it’s my fault for being too hasty.” William paused for a second before continuing
“Then may I ask if you can meet Milady right now?”
Kylo was stunned seeing the sudden change in his attitude but few moments later he realised the reason.
“Alright. I am free now anyways.”
Kylo thought for a second before agreeing to meet her.
After all one of the things he learnt in his previous life was no matter where you are, having connections are always important.
Even though things might become hectic…
[When was my life not messy?] Kylo sighed inwardly.
William let out a smile hearing this and then spoke
“Milady wants to meet you alone.”
Kylo squinted his eyes hearing this. Before he could reply Kylo heard a voice from behind him.
“She doesn’t want to meet me as well?”
It was Avery who was surprised as well as disappointed.
After all she was one of the very friends she had. Seeing her disappointment, William chuckled as he spoke
“Milady wants to meet your master not as a friend but as a representative. Don’t worry she’ll meet with you soon.”
Kylo immediately nodded understanding William’s words.
But understanding didn’t mean Kylo would agree with him.
After all no matter how strong or high her status was, at the end she was just a ‘Chosen’ one.
And Kylo was the Emperor. He let out a smile and asked
“Say old William, when you said that she, your lady wants to meet with a handsome man me alone in a room… does this mean you will also not be here as well?”
Hearing the words, the old man replied without even thinking for a second
“Nonsense, how could I not be here?”
In fact, he wasn’t supposed to be in the room as well.
His Lady, already mentioned that to him earlier.
But the way Kylo framed his words, he started having doubts on this new Chosen one.
And Kylo purposefully framed like this.
After all he knew the reaction be would get from this old man, given how the old man almost went berserk few minutes back.
Kylo was satisfied hearing his answer as he laughed and said nothing.
It was only after a few seconds did William realise what Kylo meant to say and how the devil trapped him with mere arrangement of words.
If he was here as his lady’s subordinates, why can’t Avery and Elena be here as well?
The old man secretly gritted his teeth and cursed Kylo for being a sly little fox.
How could he have known the one he was dealing with not a sly little fox but an old… a really old fox.
[That’s not right. Compared to this William, I am still very young.]
Kylo thought and nodded to himself. And he was right.
After all Kylo hadn’t even lived for a millenium.
And given William’s cultivation level and how old he was, he should have atleast lived for few millenia!
William then looked at Kylo and said
“In that case, why don’t you have that person come out?”
Seeing the old butler looking behind him and his maids, Kylo raised his brows and asked
“What do you mean?”
Even Avery and Elena were confused by what William was trying to say.
Avery even started looking at the old man as if he was some crazy idiot.
Well, given their relation of the past William wouldn’t really do anything to her.
After all, this William was one of the person who had helped Avery a big time when she was being chased by other clans.
And it could also be said he looked after her and protected secretly like hid own granddaughter for atleast few years.
That was also one of the reason why she could easily ask help from him and her friend.
William ignored both of the blue eyed devil’s majd with a shake of his head as he spoke further
“Don’t disappoint me now. Even you should know someone of that level couldn’t completely hide its presence from me.”
“And transparency is the first thing required in dealing with your allies.”
Kylo paused for a second and squinted his eyes. He knew William was right. With a nod of his head, Kylo spoke
“Indeed transparency is needed.” what he didn’t add was…
[Atleast on the surface…] Kylo thought inwardly with a smile as he looked behind him and said
“Come out. You don’t need to hide anymore.”
Hearing his words Avery and even Elena were surprised.
They turned back and saw a shadow flickering in the dark as space started cracking around it.
In next second a person in a similar black hood appeared in front of them.
Seeing the black hood William gritted his teeth in anger once again.
The person took out the hood and immediately earned a surprised gasp from all the people in the room except Kylo.
[Another young lady with such high cultivation and unique physique!] thought William while Avery spoke in shock
“What are you doing here, Selena?”
