Chapter 418 Would they dare?
“Mr. Johnson?” The girl at the reception, who was also a civilian staff member of the 13th Bureau, was familiar with William.
She Knew William as the handsome, polite young man rumored to have a good relationship with Director Wenzel and speculated to be Alice’s secret lover.
“Are you looking for William? He’s not here right now. Is there something I can help you with?”
She was still slightly unaccustomed to referring to him as “Mr. Johnson,” knowing him more casually as William in the work group. ๐๐ช๐๐๐๐๐น.๐ค๐๐ฎ
Considering Thanarok was seeking William, it was likely he was a Soulmancer. And since William was overseeing the recruitment for the Soulmancer school, Thanarok might be looking for special consideration for admission.
“Oh, then we’ll just wait,” Thanarok responded. “I have some companions waiting outside. May they come in and wait as well?”
Politeness!
Politeness was key, Thanarok reminded himself internally.
“Oh? If you have friends, let them come in and sit. I’ll message William in the work group, or do you have his phone number? You can call him to hurry him up,” offered the receptionist casually.
To her, William was just a handsome young man, albeit already claimed by Zoey and Alice, so she didn’t entertain any personal thoughts about him.
Thanarok was almost scared to death, hastily waving his hands, “No need to hurry! We’ll just wait! Just a heads up, my friends might look a bit frightening, but don’t be scared.”
What exactly is the identity of this girl in front of me?
She even dares to hurry William.
Thanarok and his companions wouldn’t dare to do so.
The girl at the reception chuckled, ‘Looks very scary? How scary can it be? Are they all as scary as you?’
In her view, birds of a feather flock together. Since Thanarok is so handsome, his friends’ appearances should also be similar.
She might not have to worry about her friends urging her to get married this year.
“Then I’ll call my friends in.” Thanarok breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, having those Shapeshifters Lords standing outside was too conspicuous. If the police came again and a conflict arose, it would be troublesome.
He dared not break the law, but was being ugly a crime?
He went out again and called the Shapeshifters Lords in.
The receptionist’s initial giggles turned into a frozen smile, then her face turned pale, and finally…
“Ugh!” She felt a convulsion in her stomach and then began to vomit.
Being so ugly it made someone vomit was definitely reaching a new level of ugliness.
Especially since these Shapeshifters Lords had some unpleasant odors on them, making them hard to bear.
“These… these are all your friends?” The girl covered her mouth, feeling incredulous.
Thanarok nodded and said, “We’ll just wait here, no need to rush Mr. Johnson.”
Regarding the situation in the lobby, the receptionist had no choice but to call Steven directly.
Fortunately, Steven had informed the 13th Bureau the night before that if someone came to get a temporary visa or if there were any situations, they should report directly to him.
Steven didn’t trust Zoey to handle this matter, as she tended to solve problems with her fists.
Considering William’s words that these Shapeshifters Lords from the Netherworld Void Realm could easily defeat Demi-God level Soulmancers, Zoey, despite being powerful, would be insufficient against such Lords.
If she acted impulsively and angered these Shapeshifters Lords, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The receptionist finally snapped out of her fixation on Thanarok’s handsome appearance and called Steven.
“Steven, a group of strange people have come here, possibly those you mentioned coming for temporary visas.”
Steven was with William at the moment and was startled by her words. Covering the phone, he said to William, “Those Shapeshifters Lords must have arrived.”
“Let them wait then,” William replied indifferently.
Steven still expressed concern, “What if they start trouble at the base…”
William just smiled without saying anything.
Start trouble?
Would they dare?
Even with just a fraction of William’s attention, he had the group of Shapeshifters Lords tightly monitored.
For instance, had they dared to attack those two police officers just now, they would have been dead in the next moment.
Killing them would only require a single thought from William.
Seeing William’s smile, Steven too closed his mouth. With William so confident, what more did he need to say? ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ง๐๐๐ญ.๐๐ค๐ข
“Grace, just have them wait, and don’t offend them,” Steven immediately instructed the front desk staff at the base.
The receptionist, a bold girl, ushered Thanarok and his group into the lounge and even brewed them tea.
These Shapeshifters Lords, once dominant forces in the Netherworld Void Realm, were now apprehensive and restrained here.
Heeding Thanarok’s reminder, they didn’t dare to drink the tea served by the lady, just sitting there and staring at it.
Zoey had also noticed the arrival of these Shapeshifters Lords. As she entered the lounge, she could sense the immense energy emanating from them.
They were consciously suppressing their aura; otherwise, people within hundreds of yards would likely have been overwhelmed and killed by the terrifying energy they emitted.
The prospect of life imprisonment or even the death penalty for murder made the Shapeshifters Lords exceedingly cautious.
Zoey entered the lounge, her gaze fixed on the group.
The receptionist followed her and informed, “Director Wenzel, they say they’re here to get temporary visas. I’ve already notified Steven.”
Zoey nodded but said nothing, just staring at the Shapeshifters Lords. Although they had reined in their presence, Zoey’s instincts told her that any one of them was stronger than her.
Thanarok, displaying quick wit upon hearing the receptionist address Zoey as Director Wenzel, approached her courteously: “Madam, hello, we are here waiting for Mr. Johnson.”
“William?” Zoey asked, “Why are you waiting for him?”
Up to this point, although Zoey suspected William might be no ordinary individual, she still considered him a novice Soulmancer.
She usually didn’t dwell on matters too deeply and addressed issues straightforwardly. She didn’t find it peculiar that they referred to William as Mr. Johnson.
“Mr. Johnson instructed us to come here to apply for temporary visas,” Thanarok explained, somewhat unable to gauge the woman before him. She seemed somewhat unusual, yet not particularly extraordinary.
To the Shapeshifters Lords, the so-called Warrior God Constitution of the Soulmancer realm wasn’t particularly special.
After all, they weren’t intimidated even by Divine Realm’s deities, let alone a Warrior God Constitution that hadn’t even reached Demi-God level.
“Then wait here,” Zoey said, then sat down to rest, paying no further attention to them.
Nowadays, with the world’s energy relatively abundant, her strength was rapidly growing.
However, she still had a long way to go to truly rise to prominence.
