William wasn't someone who'd do something without having a total faith in his victory. Since the first time he saw him, at the Golden Fork restaurant, he knew this kid wasn't simple.

"No, I will bet on your win," Thomas took a moment of pause before saying his response. And without feeling it, he said it in a firm way, a way that made William's smile broader and even nodded in satisfaction from Thomas' swift response.

"Good boy," William said, "sure you can join. Bet everything you have, as in the end, you'll walk away with wealth you'd never ever have in your life."
"I'm sure of this," Thomas laughed, "but master… May I ask something?"
"Anything."
