The office was spacious, spanning several thousand square feet. Inside, numerous antiques were displayed, each with significant value. The office was designed with a blend of tradition, elegance, and luxury.

It seemed that Evelyn was deeply influenced by her subconscious memories.

After entering the room, Evelyn pondered for a moment and then asked straightforwardly, “William, do you believe in reincarnation?”

When she asked this, her eyes were intently fixed on William.

William nodded, “I do.” 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Upon hearing his response, Evelyn seemed relieved but then anxiously said, “What if I told you that everything I wrote in my books is real, that I am Guinevere, and you are Arthur? Would you believe me?”

William paused for a moment before replying, “How are you so sure I’m Arthur? Because I resemble the person in your dreams?”

“No! It’s a feeling!” Evelyn stared at William, insisting, “You are the reincarnation of Arthur.”

William, however, chuckled. He had never died, so how could he be reincarnated?

Arthur was him in the flesh.

“Even if what you say is true, what of it?”

Biting her lip, Evelyn responded, “Don’t you like me? I feel you should. Otherwise, why would you have approached me the first time we met?”

“Moreover, I believe our meeting was ordained by fate.”

William could indeed erase Evelyn’s obsessive memories, but he chose not to. He didn’t want to alter Evelyn’s destiny again.

Destined by fate?

Having lived for so many years, what William enjoyed most was challenging fate.

“I’m sorry,” William replied, “I did have feelings for you, but they’re not strong enough to continue a bond from two thousand years ago.” William did not disclose his identity, continuing, “I came to you today as a representative of the 13th Bureau to inquire and verify some matters.”

“You…” Evelyn began, “William, let’s be together.”

William asked, “Be together? So, do you love Arthur, or do you love William?”

“I… I don’t know. Perhaps I like both. But I feel we should be together.” Evelyn said, her face breaking into a radiant smile. “Isn’t destiny’s arrangement enough?”

Evelyn couldn’t believe that William would have no interest in a woman like her. Whether in terms of appearance, figure, power, wealth, or even capability and prowess, she believed there might be no one in the world more outstanding than her.

William’s eyes were calm and unfathomable, like an ancient well. He wasn’t moved by Evelyn’s confession. He responded matter-of-factly, “I just want to ask you, how many ‘demigods’ are by your side? Have them all register with us. Moreover, I need to inform you, if you conduct legitimate business, nobody will bother you. However, if you and your ‘demigods’ break the law, the 13th Bureau will arrest you according to the law.”

“…”

Such an indifferent and strictly business-like response left Evelyn momentarily at a loss.

She hastily retorted, “William, with me, you can have wealth and power that everyone envies. Have you ever thought about it? Regardless of whether or not you are the reincarnation of Arthur, as long as we are together, you can live a life fit for an emperor.”

“If you wish to enhance your current abilities, I have numerous methods to do so. I can share them all with you,” Evelyn became increasingly impassioned. “William, I truly love you.”

William remained unfazed and said with a smile, “Are you planning to keep me? Let me repeat, I don’t want to be with you. Please take care of yourself and try not to break the law.”

“Do you think I’m crazy?” Evelyn stared intently at William, taken aback by his firm rejection. “Let’s leave past lives out of this. Didn’t we get along perfectly before?”

“That was before. I believe you need to reassess your mindset,” William responded. “Remember, you are Evelyn, not Guinevere. Even if I once was Arthur, that’s all in the past.”

“Events from two thousand years ago should stay in the past.”

Many might view William’s statement as rather cold-hearted, but he knew the importance of cutting ties when necessary.

Becoming even more agitated, Evelyn asked, “So as Evelyn, can you accept me?”

“Sorry, I can’t!” William’s rejection was firmer than anyone else’s, not even bothering to offer a reason.

Taking a deep breath, Evelyn said, “Alright, I’ll be patient. We can take our time. I believe, someday, you will accept me.”

After calming herself, a gentle smile appeared on her face. “I’ll do as you’ve asked. I’ll have those ‘demigods’ come and register.”

“Thank you,” William said, turning towards the office exit. “I’ll have someone from the 13th Bureau come to oversee the registration. Just have your people register with them.”

“Alright! No problem.” Evelyn followed William out of the office, her face illuminated with a smile as refreshing as a spring breeze, as if nothing had just been said.

William wasn’t too fond of this newfound composure in her. He had a preference for the pure, unadulterated Evelyn of before. But if he used his mental powers to erase the memories from her past lives, it might trigger unforeseen consequences, and it might eventually harm Evelyn.

Let things take their course.

As they came out, Wes approached them, first looking at William, then at Evelyn.

Evelyn said to Wes, “Have your colleagues come up. I’ll have our company personnel register one by one, and I guarantee we won’t engage in any illegal activities.”

A smile finally emerged on Wes’s face, “Miss Taylor, this is much better. Everyone getting along peacefully, isn’t it great?”

“It is great.” Evelyn seemed uninterested in Wes and didn’t want to converse with him. Her gaze lingered more on Zoey and Alice.

If William was rejecting a woman like her, there had to be a reason. Could it be that he was interested in one of them?

Both Zoey and Alice were immediately categorized as potential rivals in Evelyn’s mind.

Evelyn sized up Zoey. The young woman had a neutral expression with no makeup traces on her face. William probably wouldn’t be attracted to a woman like that.

As for Alice…

The relationship between William and Alice seemed rather close. William had even lied to her earlier, saying Alice was his cousin.

The more one hides, the more there’s something to hide!

But then, Alice had once treated her grandfather’s illness.

Evelyn was almost certain there was an irregular relationship between William and Alice. As for how to deal with it, she needed a plan.
