Chapter 91 - Bluff (2/2)

The room became incredibly silent once Will finished. Although the ever handsome Ibrahim was stonefaced, he was impressed by Will's resolve, while the rest, except Taiga, were cursing his stupidity. Taiga remained in his own world, while Alexa's eyes became like slits as she observed Will from head to toe.

Qi left her body and filled the entire room, making it somewhat suffocating. The majority of it bore down on Will, making sure to not miss a single inch of his skin. She thought he was bluffing and was trying to call it. But as time ticked on, the resolve in the young man's eyes did not wither but rather intensified.

Karim gulped and everyone in the room heard it. The tension was so thick it felt tangible. With only ten seconds remaining, Letty chose to speak. ”The only common mental aspect among all Meisters is that they don't fear death.” Her words were like a bomb that ignited the atmosphere.

There were only a couple of seconds left, yet Letty had timely dropped this little bit of information. Information that Alexa was unaware of.

'Is she lying or telling the truth?'

Being royalty from another world, it goes without saying that Letty had incredible composure. From Alexa's point of view, her poker face was impeccable. Faced with this situation, she had no choice but to break protocol and reveal what her empire knew about Water Meisters.

”Elemental Meisters are incredibly powerful, and their classes are one of the rarest if not the rarest. They can use any element-related ability of any rating given enough training or time.

The classes come with thousands upon thousands of skills the user can learn over time. Every Elemental Meister in existence has always been an emperor for the duration of their life. This is all the information we got from the IB.”

Will's Aqua Sense monitored all her motions and muscles. From her heartbeat to her body temperature. So far she did not know any signs of lying, but then again, she was a Ghost, who knows what kind of training they had gone through. Will was far from being a master of intent, so he was not confident in his prognosis of the situation.

Will sighed as he leaned back. ”Letty, come with me for another moment.” After a moment, Will stood up and Letty followed. Alexa had a rough idea of what was about to happen. As someone from a higher world, a princess no less, there was no doubt that Letty had access to more information compared to the empire. Will intended to measure the information the empire had on him while using Letty to enlighten himself at the same time.

Gaining such important information would increase Will's value to the empire, thus raising his position, or so Alexa thought. In her mind, there was no way Will could go against the empire, due to the pill he had taken. Hence so far Will was not doing anything that could harm the empire, meaning she did not need to act, or rather she couldn't…
