Tough Negotiations
William was so impatient about getting his desired loot to miss such a point.
If he was a materialistic person, then he should have asked for a reward before when he saved Berry. And that made his actions look quite contradictory, indicating in a glaring light that he had an ulterior motive behind his request.
