Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master
Chapter 92 - 92: Venerable Senior

"By the way, I forgot to ask," and when Gran was lost in his own thoughts, Berry suddenly shouted as she jumped towards William, grabbed him by the arm and whispered:

"When I woke up, I didn't find any of the scrolls you left for me."

"What?!!!" this time, it was William's turn to get shocked, "how so? I left them for you to keep studying and training when you woke up. Then how come you trained in the past few days?!"

"This… I memorised the incantation and the simple stage of training. But about the scrolls… I thought you took them with you or something. I asked, and all the guards who were there by my side denied seeing any scrolls. Even my grandpa asked about this matter himself!"

Her tone and attitude told William she wasn't lying. And from the side, Gran could hear what she said.

"What? Did someone dare to steal from my clan's precious rose?" his tone changed, but it was nothing compared to what William was feeling right now.

He knew that leaving the scrolls in her possession held its own risks. But he thought that no one would dare and try to get these from her.

Or else, just like how Gran reacted here, this would bring forth the wrath of the entire Long clan on whoever dared to do such a crime.

"I will personally look into this," but what William said next made Gran size him up and down. And when William noticed that gaze, he added, "I never tolerate anyone stealing something precious from me, or from my close up friends."

"But…" unlike the wrath these two in front of her felt, Berry felt regret and blamed herself for losing the scrolls, "they were… They were precious to you and…" she wanted to add more but words choked in her throat and couldn't say anymore.

"Don't worry, I got them all in my head," William mistook her thoughts, and said to reassure her.

But from her perspective, she didn't see these as not only the magical solution that saved her life and freed her from such misery… She considered them as the first real gift William gave to her.

To her, this first gift was priceless! And losing it was a grave sin in her eyes.

"I promise I'll find whoever did this and properly punish him and whoever helped him!" and in front of her eyes, William said, taking such a heavy vow on himself.

"Good lad," Gran softly muttered in a tone that wasn't heard by any of the kids standing here.

He could feel the determination William placed in the words he just said.

"Leave this issue over to us, kiddo," and just as William's words just landed and left such a deep impression inside those present here, a strong and deep voice came from the direction of the mansion's entry.

"Patriarch!"

"Grandpa!"

William saw an old looking, yet strong and healthy old man coming out from the big gate of the mansion.

He wasn't alone, as he was followed by an entourage of fierce looking strong spirit masters and Berry's father. The latter's face was slightly darker than usual.

"I'm growing more interested in knowing the current bad state of the academy… Humph! I don't know what that old man is doing out there! Leaving such rodents infest the full place without retaliating back… As if this was something funny!" The strong and deep voice of Kong landed, expressing how truly mad he was.

"Venerable senior," if William would call Berry's father and uncle senior, then he'd call this legendary old man venerable senior.

As he cupped his hands and slightly bowed, the other three on his side, Lina, Tina, and Ary, who stayed silent for all this time followed suit.

Kong looked at William with a surprise that was clear like the sun in the middle of a clear sky. He watched how this little and weak bronze spirit master managed to win his fierce son in wits. Even if he saw him fight before in the forest, this was something worthy of admiration.

Just like Gran, what William did didn't miss his keen eyes. And that old and experienced spirit master had to admit to himself; everything William was doing was out of his vast scope of knowledge.

"Come, this isn't a proper place for our long talk," and as he said it, Kong turned and left without waiting for William's answer.

William expected a long talk with this old man. He was sure that Kong knew about what he did back at the forest. Adding what he did here with Callom, it was natural for the old man to grow curious about his power and unique ways of fighting.

Least to his knowledge that Kong knew much more than what he expected. After all, he was the one who spied over William back in the forest.

"Others will wait here," and like a god declaring his edict to mortals, the deep and strong voice of Kong came just when he vanished inside.

"Go, what are you standing all idle here for?" and when William hesitated, Berry's father said.

William nodded to Callom and Gran, then he simply followed the old man after giving Berry a reassuring look.

William followed Kong inside the huge mansion to be met with a vast hall with many paintings on the wall. Each one was inside a golden frame, while showing the face of a fierce looking man.

"This is our long line of ancestors," the old patriarch appeared next to William, looking like a mountain with his immense pressure, "each patriarch since the founder till my father is here."

"What about you?" William asked, without even looking at the old man's direction.

"My face will be hanged over these walls after my death," Kong laughed, "come, let's go inside that room over there. It's well protected with many incantations, making it impossible for any outsider to eavesdrop on our little talk."
