"This…" William knew this was destined to happen. Birds used to stick to any towering tree, but that didn't mean the tree had to welcome any bird on its branches.
"Don't worry, I left Stark to handle them," she waved her hand casually, "He and Zin are dealing with these forces. If they came when we mostly needed them, they'd have easily joined us. But coming after the danger is gone? And expecting us to just welcome them without paying a hefty price in return? They are just idiots!"
William could guess a lot from her words. As she said it, Stark and Zin were going to give them a beating and crush all of their hopes it seemed.
"Now let's talk about us," she said in a way that gave him a scare, "hahahaha! Just look at your face! I won't bite you or anything, hahahaha!"
"You still want to come with us?" William ignored her remark and added, "you know you can trust me now. And I bet no one in the family will object to lending me a few portal cores."
