Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

If the Lockhart incident left such a deep impression on him, did seeing the Raefs caravan's base established here change his view of the impact of the Lockhart incident?

This conglomerate's walled estate spans at least several thousand square meters. William couldn't see the end of it!

Everywhere you look, there are imposing five-story buildings, each about the size of the Lockhart Crash site.

But that's not all... there are many more defensive towers. From this distance, he could see a large group of people gathered around the five gates of the building.

“They’re the fifth largest business superpower here,” Luo said dejectedly. Ever since she saw the magnificent buildings of the Rafers Chamber of Commerce, she knew she was doomed. There was no point in trying to dissuade William anymore.

“They built five gates as a symbol of their status and prestige… What a brilliant idea!” William smiled and nodded in agreement, thinking the Raphus’s small but effective measure was quite good.

"Then why don't we turn back? It's such a waste to spend so much money on the first day."

"What? You want to stall for time and find another man to buy it before I do?" William had already seen through her intentions. His words instantly erased her innocent expression, replacing it with a fierce one.

"I swear, if you don't retreat now and completely abandon this idea, I will kill you without hesitation!"

"Haha! You said it yourself! This necklace can protect you. So, I'm going to buy myself one."

"For your own sake! But... but you're not a girl!"

“None of this matters to me,” he shrugged. “With it hanging around my neck, you’ll never touch a hair on my head again.”

“Nonsense!” she tried to sound confident, but her voice trembled slightly. “Cough, this necklace can’t generate a strong shield; it’s not enough to stop me.”

“I’m willing to take the risk.” The two had emerged from the crowded streets in front of the five city gates. Contrary to William’s expectations, there was no chaos.

Everyone stood calmly in the rows of seats, waiting for their turn to enter Raefus's residence, without even making a fuss.

Like them, William randomly chose a line and then stood at the end of it.

Hey bro, how's it going?

As he stood there, listening to Luo's futile attempts over the past half hour, a spiritualist approached him, speaking with confidence as if they were friends.

"Who are you?" William looked the man up and down. He was twenty-three years old, and although his equipment was poor and he looked somewhat shabby, William thought he looked like a gold-level spirit master.

“I’m here to help you,” the guy said with an eerie confidence, pointing to himself as he added, “I’m Trevor, and I’m here to let you through. You can have fun over there, I’ll stand there for you.”

"Stand for me?!" William was a little confused, but he still followed the direction the man was pointing. He found a cluster of stalls and shops of varying sizes, with plenty of seats, and even several seats with huge tents set up to shield people from the scorching sun.

“This is…” William ignored the strange man named Trevor and turned to Law, who sighed.

“This is very common here,” she paused, “as you can see, we’ve been waiting for half an hour and the line hasn’t moved an inch!”

“I’m here to help you, sir,” Trevor continued with his strange confidence. “In return for my service, I need a thousand spirit crystals.”

"This..." William was taken aback by the exorbitant price. A thousand spirit crystals? Just because of queuing? That's a year's income for any gold-level spirit master in the academy!

“This is the standard price here.” Luo decided to take this opportunity to see just how wealthy William really was. She still doubted whether someone from a weaker academy like Aspire could truly possess such a vast fortune.

“Of course,” William said, pleased with the idea. “Here are two hundred spirit crystals as an advance payment. I’ll pay the rest after you’re done.”

“Of course, sir,” Trevor said, handing William a piece of paper. “This is my notepad. If you need anything, just talk to me through it.”

“These are mine,” William said, having printed several extra copies of his bullets since he last worked with his team. “Tell me when you get close from the front.”

“You’re really rich,” Luo rolled her eyes, but William ignored her pointless comment and walked straight to the group of stalls next to him.

“It’s nothing,” William wasn’t bluffing. He had hundreds of thousands of spirit crystals in his ring. And he hadn’t even checked the forty-odd rings he’d recently acquired from the dark Eldar masters he’d previously plundered.

But he deduced logically that if these Dark Spirit Masters were like the other Dark Spirit Masters he had killed and plundered before, then his gains would be enormous.

Becoming a millionaire is real. And he doesn't even need to sell any of his core assets.

For him, and for anyone present, this was indeed nothing. Two hundred spirit crystals were nothing, but the way he took them out made Luo's heart clench.

"He's really rich," she thought to herself as she followed him toward the stall area. "He's such a hassle!"

"Sir, Madam, would you like to find a good place to eat?" Just as the two were about to reach this area, a group of salespeople appeared, surrounded them, and offered their services.

"Our stall is better, and our food is tastier than the others!"

Stop lying to them! Our products are better and cheaper than others!

"No, ours is better!"

Suddenly, this simple advertising campaign turned into a war of words and arguments between salespeople, leaving William and Luo speechless.
