Chapter 293  A ‘coincidental’ meeting

William didn’t dare give Steven a divine medicine with too potent an effect, so he chose one of slightly lower quality from his spatial storage ring to give to him.

Steven took the pill with both hands, observing the faint golden glow emanating from it, and couldn’t help but swallow hard. He asked, “Master, what is this divine medicine?”

“I don’t remember its name. Judging by the mark engraved on it, I remember it’s for increasing strength. I’m just not sure if your body can withstand the energy boost this pill will bring,” William said, genuinely unable to recall the name of the pill. It was something he made in his spare time, and from the mark, it was certain that any ordinary Soulmancer who took it would experience a significant increase in strength. To what level, however, was unknown.

One thing was for sure: even a lower-quality divine medicine from William was incredibly rare and powerful in the world. If consumed and the body couldn’t handle its effects, an immediate death was not out of the question.

Hearing William’s words, Steven held the pill with some hesitation. After taking a deep breath, he said, “Thank you for the warning. I will be careful.”

The pill was something he had asked for, and William had given it to him. If he really couldn’t withstand its effects and died, he couldn’t blame anyone else.

William nodded and asked, “Is there anything else?”

Steven carefully put away the pill and asked cautiously, “There’s one more thing I’d like to confirm. Those ‘demigods’ in Maplewood Town, was it you who eliminated them?”

“Yes, don’t bother guessing. Everyone in the town is dead,” William knew what Steven was worried about. Since he had been found out, there was no need to hide it from him anymore.

Steven shuddered all over. Although he had guessed this, hearing William confirm it still left him deeply shocked.

Seeing that Steven was still not quite recovered, William had no choice but to leave the office himself.

He had barely left when Walker found him.

“William, are you busy tonight?”

“Not really. What do you want to do?” William didn’t think Walker was the calm and collected type, probably up to something mischievous.

Walker may seem a bit simple-minded, but that didn’t necessarily mean he was honest.

Walker said with a smile, “I just got back, could you help me arrange a date with Alice? I want to take her out for dinner.”

William smiled, “Why don’t you ask her yourself?”

“The thing is, if I ask her, she might not agree,” Walker admitted frankly. “But you have a good relationship with her. If you ask, she’ll definitely come out.”

William pondered for a moment, then said, “You know, I recently learned a new word that fits you perfectly.”

“What word?” Walker asked curiously, a playful glint in his eyes, “Is it something like ‘super charming’?”

“Whipped!” William replied.

Walker’s smile turned even more sly: “Buddy, your thinking is too narrow.”

“Hmm?” William feigned interest.

“If it’s just about pursuing one woman, that might be whipped. But if it’s about dating multiple women at the same time, that’s not being whipped.”

William thought for a while, then concluded, “So, you’re a playboy?”

“Playboy it is then, but you have to help me ask Alice out first,” Walker said, draping his arm over William’s shoulder half-jokingly, “Don’t worry, I’ll make it worth your while. With me around, no one will dare to bully you.”

“Thanks for that,” William said as he pulled out his phone to call Alice.

Walker quickly added, “William, just say you’re inviting her to dinner, and we can have a ‘coincidental’ meeting.”

William, having no other plans, was curious to see what Walker was up to.

“Alice, are you free tonight?”

Alice actually had a dinner engagement that evening, but when William called, she naturally said, “I’m free! What’s up?”

This time she was being cautious, asking William first about the reason. If it was another challenge or fight, she didn’t want to spend half a day getting ready for nothing and end up looking foolish.

William said, “Just inviting you out for dinner. What would you like to eat?”

“What should we eat?” Alice thought the choice of food wasn’t that important, as long as they didn’t go to Le Château de Paris. Ever since her last visit there and encountering Sofia, she still had a psychological shadow. Top 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l updates on nov𝒆lbin(.)com

Compared to Sofia, she felt barely womanly,Sofia’s ample bust was like a dimensional strike against her self-confidence.

“You pick the place.” William wasn’t very familiar with modern food, so if he had to choose, he’d probably just pick a place randomly.

Alice paused before asking, “It’s just you, right?”

Walker, being a Soulmancer, could of course hear the conversation on the phone and quickly nodded at William. He was planning a ‘coincidental’ meeting, and if Alice knew he was going to be there, she might not show up, which would be awkward.

William could only say, “Yeah, just me.”

“Alright, let’s go to Savor Sanctuary restaurant. Where are you? I’ll come pick you up,” Alice responded promptly. “How about six o’clock tonight?”

“I’m currently at CLOUD9 club.”

“Huh? Are you chasing celebrities or going to play professionally?”

“Neither!”

“We’ll talk more when we meet.” After hanging up the phone, Alice leaned back on her bed, rolled over, then got up and started looking for clothes.

She had many outfits in her wardrobe, but since it was dinner with William alone, she thought she’d wear the dress William made for her.

As she was selecting her outfit, someone knocked on her bedroom door.

Other than her father Calvin, no one usually knocked on her door. She put the dress on the bed and opened the bedroom door.

“Dad, I won’t be going to the dinner tonight. I have another appointment!” Alice said, not realizing a childlike smile appeared on her face as she spoke.

“Got a boyfriend?” Russell stood at the door, eyeing his precious daughter. “When will you bring him home for Dad to see?”

Calvin, being experienced, could tell from Alice’s demeanor that she seemed like a girl in love.

“What? No, it’s my master!” Alice rolled her eyes at her dad, her face flushing as she said, “Dad, what are you thinking? You’re not trying to marry off your precious daughter so quickly, are you?”

Calvin, hearing that it was her master, felt a bit solemn inside, but said with a smile, “Dad naturally can’t bear to part with you, but eventually you’ll have to marry someone. Start dating early, preferably someone three or four years older than you, five years is also okay.”

He was being subtle. William looked young, but he was much older than her.

With William’s actual age, Alice could have called him grandfather.

“I’m not planning to date for now,” Alice said, wrapping her arm around Calvin’s and playfully speaking, “Dad, can you tell Mr. Jones that I’ll be dining with my master at his restaurant tonight? Can you reserve two spots for us?”

“Alright then,” Calvin said, somewhat helplessly. Some things he probably understood but couldn’t say outright. All he could do was indulge his beloved daughter.
