The next moment William flashed forward, chasing after Rick.
As things turned down in such an unexpected way for the latter, Rick kept cursing William in his mind and heart. "That son of b*tch! If I knew he'd grow to become such a troublesome enemy, one who kept ruining my life one time after another, then I'd have killed him back when I met him with that damn old man…"
Rick was lamenting not being decisive back then, not sniffing the great danger that rose up from William when he met him before at the academy. Back then, William was just a weak bronze master, powerless and didn't have any of his current famous guild or vast resources.
But he never expected such a thin and wasted looking kid to be the kryptonite for him and many of the dark forces. Rick threw away such thoughts for now and focused on getting away fast.
