Chapter 319: Chapter 318 - Searching For Keith
"You should worry about how you can get him to work for you."
The words reverberated around William's mind as he thought of the thing that would get Keith's undivided attention.
He might have gotten a way to get him out of jail and will get to meet him in a few days but… he still doesn't know what to say or use on him to make him work under him.
He needed something that would absolutely work on him. He didn't want something that might work, 'MIGHT' was not the thing he was looking for.
And he only had a few days left before Keith would be in front of him and all he would be able to tell him is…
Wanna work for me, I have a lot of money.
Now that method might have worked on many a people, like Delmar but not people like Adam and Keith. Adam had something that he desperately wanted enough to work for him and now he has to find something that would do the same for him, as it did with Adam.
But what?
William continued to think like this for a total of three days as Adam and Delmar looked at him and wondered what was it that troubled him so much. The thought was so troubling for him that he wasn't even performing well in his training, something that made Adam a lot concerned.
Even after three days when he couldn't find any thing that would get some decent results, he sighed as he fell over the white floor of the living room as Adam looked him over and finally asked, "Is it really that big of a deal?"
"Yeah" William said in his overly tired voice.
"Why not just give him something of value like you gave me." Adam said.
"I need to first know what it is that he likes before I can actually find something for him."
"Oh… that's a problem… don't you know anything about him?"
"Noo… Didn't even know his life story until Peanut Butter told me."
"Ookaaay," Adam said before he asked, "Who is Peanut Butter?"
"Someone sent by the Organization to help me with my request."
"And they gave him the code name Peanut Butter?" Adam asked as he couldn't think straight about this name.
William didn't go to correct him as he lay on the floor overthinking about the matter.
"So when will this guy be here?"
"Keith Grimes?... Don't know really." William said, "Maybe a few days or even one or two weeks. The Organization couldn't give a correct date as the process was going to be a bit troublesome for them."
"Yeah about that," Adam suddenly asked, "did they really went to do this thing for you for free?"
"Yeah"
"And they didn't ask for anything?"
William shook his head.
"Hah… if I didn't know previously that you had given them large bags of money, I would have thought that they wanted something from you and was using this 'Free Service' as a bait for it." Adam said while chuckling to himself.
"And don't think that they won't." William suddenly said gaining his attention.
"Meaning?"
"They might be doing this because of my help back before but… No matter how much of a good heart they have, they are The Organization. The organization that has now covered the whole Escana with their agents, someone who always takes advantage when they see one or create one for themselves.
I wouldn't put it past them to bait me with something and then use it against me to their benefit."
"I get why you're saying that," Adam said, "But why are you so sure?"
"Because of my age."
Adam went silent before understanding what he meant.
William's age may not be something that was looked on by many as much as his wealth but for those that knew how and when to take advantage of something, they carefully took notice of it.
Something that irked him no matter how much carefully acted smiles he had seen on their faces, but he could instantly feel the dirty thoughts they had when they would look upon his young face.
'Oh! He's such a young boy… someone who needs somebody to guide him with his business.'
'A small boy with great wallet and nobody to help him out, Talk about a great opportunity.'
'So young, so immature, with just a few tricks with my double d's and I can live a happy life through eternity.'
'Aahhh… such a delicious looking child… has such a similar face to my future sixth husband.'
Many with veiled faces and poisonous tongue came that wanted to take a piece of him and if it weren't for Anne's helpful guidance that would be able to pinpoint who said the truth and who was deceitful, he might have been the 8th or so husband of some voluptuous mature women.
Now that he thinks about it, it might not have been such a bad thing.
William's troubled thoughts were turned upside down as he had to roll to his left to dodge the attack that suddenly came for him without any warning.
He quickly rolled away and got up as he saw Adam smiling at him with his sword in hand, ready to strike at moment's notice. William couldn't understand why he suddenly did that.

"What the hell was that about?"
"What do you mean what? Didn't I already told you to always be on guard for any attacks from your enemies." Adam said with a mischievous smile.
"And why are you telling me that when we just finished our fight?" William said as he looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.
"And when did we finish our fight?" Adam said.
"We just did when I showed you my 'I Give Up' flag."
"Are you sure that you showed me the flag?" Adam asked and William was about to retort before he stopped and remembered that he actually didn't wave the flag. He just gave up at the end and fell over on the floor.
"Well… I…"
"You remember it I see. So tell me are you giving up or do you still have the strength to fight on?" Adam said with the ever widening grin on his face.
Looking at his face only made William who was ready to wave his flag… to wave it up his butt. So he threw caution out of his mind and lifted the spear on the floor. He looked at Adam who was ready to beat him to a pulp and said, "HELL NAAAAAH!"
...
William sat on the garden as he looked at the different kinds of flowers in front of him as he let the beauty of the flowers envelop him and remove all the worries that had troubled him for the past few days.
He was surrounded by many kinds of beautiful flowers that were the most liked and also some that were very rare to find in the kingdoms. His maids, had specially crafted this garden in hopes of making their new master smile in gratitude to them.
He took the most beautiful red rose in front of him and took a whip of it as he smelled it and exclaimed, "This is so gay."
