-An hour earlier-
The moment the black ship left with William, the remaining guards and the old woman felt as if they have been granted amnesty.
The old woman, Margaret was from one of the renowned family of Tour Magique, Kemplot family.
Initially when they came to Nawarra, they thought it would be an easy task to fool everyone and take advantage in the last moment.
But who knew someone as devilish as Kylo would appear and ruin their plan.
In fact, not to mention the public or other powers, even other factions of Tour Magique themselves didn't knew of this plan.
Tour Magique is the Magic Tower where most of the mages gather.
The highest echelon have been divided into five divisions and the place they live is known as Five Courts.
And the person with highest authority in each of these courts is known as Court Wizard.
And just 2 of the 5 Court Wizards knew about this and co-operated.
Kemplot family was under one of those Court Wizards.
Now she can only imagine how much backlash she and her family will face because of this failure.
Not to mention outsiders, even the other three Court Wizards wouldn't let it go.
She looked at the remaining guards and felt a pang in her heart.
Out of the 100 guards they bought to fight Kylo, fifty belonged to her family.
And in the end now, not even ten remained in total. And the ones alive are heavily injured.
One of those guard came to her and asked
"Elder, was it ok to let them leave like this?"
Margaret looked at the soldier and said while sighing
"What else could be done? They had someone like William on their side."
"Elder, may I ask who is this William?" the guard could not help but ask cautiously.
After all even if William demonstrated his strength, they still didn't hear his name so in their minds that guy shouldn't really have power to oppose them.
After all they were from Tour Magique. This name should be enough to deter 80% of the continent.
And above everything else, this old woman was not only an elder in Tour Magique but also one of the important figures in Kemplot family.
Why would she be scared of some random guy?
Margaret sighed and said
"It's because you all from the next generation that you don't know who William is."
"In our generation he always held undisputed top ten position among younger generation."
"Only the younger generation from dynasties and above 6 star powers could compare with him."
"And even then there weren't more than ten who could deal with him."
The soldiers were definitely surprised but they couldn't understand one thing.
After all even if he was strong and whatnot, there is always someone like this in a generation.
Heck there are many times when there are more than one monstrous talent in a younger generation.
What was there to be afraid of?
As if understanding their thoughts she smiled before continuing
"In fact it would have been fine if it was just all of this."
"But the thing was... he was from a common background."
"Without any resources and background he became strong enough to contend with the other big powers' younger generation."
"And the worst was his speed of cultivation which exceeded everyone's in our generation."
"He was like the protagonist of our generation."
The guard behind her and all those alive were stunned hearing this.
There was someone this domineering from a commoner's background?
How come they did not hear anything!?
Even though this sounded like a beautiful tale, but without any background it was almost impossible to grow.
Even he, William, who was a protagonist of the generation had to hide himself after offending those 7 and 8 star powers.
With his cultivation speed and talent, he should have been an immortal by now.
But what was the result? He wasn't able to cross the threshold.
Even those with lower talent than him from dynasties had become immortal by now.
But he still had to hide his tail.
And as for the reason why no one from the next generation knew about him?
It was simple. Will those dynasties, 8 star guilds, sects, clans, organizations and whatnot allow their reputation would be tarnished by a commoner?
The answer was a big NO!
They used various methods from threatening to memory replacement to bribing, in order to let this 'shame' be buried in the history forever.
Many might say it's bullshit since it's impossible to deceive the entire population.
But how many of them would know the real strength of those big powers?
They have been surviving since ages. They have their own foundation.
And in case William came out to fight them, they will simply send immortals to deal with him.
That's the fate of those with no background. Either succumb or perish!
The guards continued thinking about William, when one of the guards suddenly thought of something before asking with a trembling voice
"El-elder, was he a.... Chosen?"
Margaret turned to look towards the guard who was from the old man's family who died with her.
She didn't say anything but just gave a nod to his question.
And the guards felt their breath stop.
