Chapter 186: Chapter 186 - Trusting Someone
"We can find you again."
Adam saw the subtle threat that William said to him in those words.
Instead of being angry or concerned at those words instead he was actually happy to hear them. Not because they were meant to demean but because the kid in front could actually give the most decent threats.
Most of all he was happy that he was actually trusted enough to be given the sword and also to keep it hidden away from anyone's prying eyes.
He didn't care about William or his entourage finding him because both knew that it would be quite troublesome to find him if he truly tried to hide. The only reason they were even able to find him this time was because he wanted them to.
So the blatant trust was the main thing for Adam. In his life most didn't trust him because of his background. No matter how strong he had become the only thing he garnered from people were there jealousy and nothing else.
So to be trusted by a complete stranger and to be trusted by something that would cost billions of dollars was very important to Adam. This would be something consequential for Adam to believe in William very much in the future.
William on the other hand… didn't care much actually.
While Adam was thinking about many things starting from trusting a stranger to trusting William to a high degree. William just shrugged at the thought.
He knew that he was giving him something that had a great worth to it but for him, It was just spending a lot of paper.
Even if he had to risk the sword that had great effects and could also make him much stronger, he didn't give a s*it as long as it could get his trust.
The only mattered was getting the guys trust. The thing that mattered to William was trust. That's one of the reasons why he changed his name to trust instead of something flashier or cooler.
He had been betrayed by the person whom he trusted the most. So to gain someone else's real trust was something that mattered to him very much.
It didn't matter if he had to kill someone to get it or spend trillions of dollars for it or even had to do something more extreme.
A man's trust is something that could be valued at almost infinity to him.
Adam smiled as he gave an answer to him.
"Alright, then 'Boss'. What should we do now then?"
William also smiled at being acknowledged by the man even if slightly, It was better than nothing at all.
"Now we go to the auction and buy you that sword and When I say we, I mean you."
Adam was still curious about something so he asked,
"Not to sound rude but why is it that you don't want to go there yourself?"
"Well… There are two reasons for it. First, because the item you're about to buy is something that will get a lot of attraction, which is something I don't want yet."
"And also because I might try to buy many things in the auction if I went there myself. Which would also garner many attention to us. So all together, It's better if I don't go myself."
Carl raised his hand in the background as he asked.
"Boss, I get why you want Adam to go but why me?"
William looked at the man who was hiding in the corner of the room from Clawdia and himself and said.
"Adam's going to need someone to actually pay the auction house. He himself doesn't know how or in which method to give so much money. We can give out raw cash to them but that might be problematic in the eyes of the royal force so that's why he needs you."
Carl nodded as he understood what he meant.
"And also because you are disposable."
"Wh- What do you mean, Bo- Boss?" Carl started to fear what his boss meant by that.
Did he want to quickly take care of him by this unknown killer? Was it because he had failed to do his duty with efficiency.
"You're taking my words the wrong way." William said as he tried to explain.
"The thing that's disposable about you isn't you but its your identity."
Carl still didn't understand as his face became awkward at those words.
"Delmar would be giving both of you fake identities for this mission. Until the auction ends and you are sure that you have safely gotten away from prying eyes that would be your identity."
"So by being disposable you meant that the people we would be faking as are thing disposable about us? And if something were to happen and that might get us attention from bad people, It wouldn't be us that will in trouble but it will be them, right?"
"A long explanation but Yes. That is the gist of it."
"Alright that's enough chit chat. We are close to the time for the auction to start so any other question you may have, Ask in the car, okay?"
Adam and Carl nodded as the trio waited for the Beautician to come. A few moments later, the door opened and the Beautician got in.
"Well, then my fellow Darlings, I suppose this is where our journey ends then."
"Thanks for quickly doing their outlook. It was a great deal for us to be done by the time."
"Oh! Worry not about that. It was a challenge, sure but it was a welcomed one. So I should thank you for giving me the challenge and letting me create such beautiful masterpieces."
The Beautician said as she touched Carl with a slow and gentle touch that made the hardened man shiver greatly.
"Alright then is there anything left or do we have to give you anything extra?"
William said as he subtly pointed to giving more money which the Beautician rejected immediately while shaking her head.
"Thank you but No. You don't have to do anything anymore and also all of the payments have been paid so you can leave if you want to."
"Okay… Before we leave. Can you do us a favor?"
"Anything for you darlings."
"If someone or anyone for that matter. Came to ask about us, can you not tell them about us?"
The Beautician understood as she did a locking her mouth gesture, "I get what you're saying dear. This mouth will be shut eternally until the end of time. Also I will even wipe your data of the computer as well."
William smiled at the extra words gesture as he thanked her and all of them got out of the parlor and in to a different luxury car.
"Alright, take this thing and attach it to your ears."
William took some small mechanical machines out and gave it to them.
Adam didn't get what they were but Carl understood them what they were.
"Wireless Communication Earplugs?"
"Yes, So that we can talk to you guys from the auction house."
"But is this thing allowed there?"
Delmar was the one who answered Adam.
"Yes, they are. Most of the people inside the auction would be representatives except for the minor families so the auction house allows communication devices."
"But what if someone has a bomb or some nefarious thoughts and used this things to communicate with their HQ?"
