Chapter 404 An invitation to eat from a roommate
"Then..." Luna hesitated, finally shaking her head, "I won\'t leave either!"
"Servant, are you going to leave? If you want to leave, go with him." Luna didn\'t speak for Erebus as it seemed he was feeling quite aggrieved here.
Hearing this, Erebus also shook his head: "I\'m not going anywhere!"
"Huh? So many of our companions are dead, aren\'t we going to seek revenge?" Thanarok was completely flustered. If neither of them were going, how would they avenge their fallen?
Erebus spoke with conviction, "What\'s the point of revenge when they are already dead?"
They were indeed companions, but Erebus felt closer to Luna than the others. The death of the others didn\'t affect him much.
Besides, didn\'t Thanarok say it himself?
The enemy was a deity of witchcraft resurrected through dark magic.
Did they really think such a deity of witchcraft was easy to kill?
Remember that in the era of the gods, each deity of witchcraft was incredibly powerful.
Even some weaker god-kings in the Divine Realm had to make detours around them.
Even if their souls were reincarnated into this world, they remained terrifying entities.
Otherwise, why would it be that of their group who went to challenge, now only Thanarok is still alive?
Moreover, although staying with William meant enduring some humiliation, the benefits were tangible.
Erebus told himself that this was enduring humiliation for a greater cause.
Revenge was out of the question!
Thanarok sighed, accepting that there would be no revenge. After all, Erebus wasn\'t very close to the other companions.
"I\'ll be going then, and I\'ll come back tomorrow." Thanarok couldn\'t fathom William\'s depth and didn\'t dare to inquire further, so he decided to return the next day.
At this point, William added, "By the way, if you plan to stay here, you\'d better familiarize yourself with the laws of this world. Don\'t break any laws."
If someone else had spoken to Thanarok like that, he would have likely scoffed or might have even killed the person on the spot.
However, when William spoke those words, Thanarok just paused briefly and said, "Thank you for your advice."
After bowing to William, he turned and left.
Luna watched Thanarok\'s departing figure and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had been genuinely worried that Thanarok might argue with William. In her view, if Thanarok had talked back to William, he might have met an ugly end.
William, watching Thanarok leave, said to Luna, "You two should learn from your friend here. He\'s well-mannered and polite."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Luna nodded like a woodpecker, though inwardly she disagreed.
Did Thanarok really have manners?
That depended on who he was dealing with.
"Where will you two sleep tonight, on the bed or somewhere else?" Since William had taken in these two kids, akin to keeping pets, he still needed to consider their living arrangements.
Luna replied, "I\'ve already slept a long time, and now I can\'t sleep."
Erebus also added, "I can\'t sleep either."
William then remembered that these two were no ordinary cats or dogs. According to their current timeline, they usually slept for hundreds of years at a time, then stayed awake for several hundred years more, always brimming with energy.
This meant there was no need to prepare beds for them.
William took out his phone and glanced at it, seeing over fifty missed calls, and then noticed that people in the 13th Bureau\'s work group were continuously tagging him.
Eventually, Steven, having no choice, said in the group chat that he would handle any issues, so people should come to him.
William cleared these notifications but noticed missed calls and messages from Wyatt and Daniel.
"Are you two going back to my place, or coming with me for dinner?" William decided to accept the invitation after checking his messages.
His decision to attend university was initially to quickly adapt to the contemporary social life, after all.
Thus, his roommates were somewhat important to him.
Maintaining good relations with them was also necessary.
"I\'d like to have dinner with you," Luna thought to herself, initially considering returning home. Even absorbing residual energy in William\'s yard would be highly beneficial.
She realized William wasn\'t as frightening as she had previously thought.
Moreover, everything about William seemed to have a special allure, making her unconsciously want to stay close to him. Her intuition told her that staying by William\'s side was the best choice.
Today\'s test at Hudson University was quite a sensation.
In a university with just over twenty thousand people, thirteen were identified as having the potential to become Soulmancers, not counting William.
In other places, one or two might emerge among hundreds of thousands.
This ratio was certainly extraordinary.
The most remarkable case was room 306 of the dormitory, where all the occupants showed the potential to become Soulmancers!
After completing their tests, Wyatt and his roommates eagerly called William to share the news, but William didn\'t answer. So they texted him to invite him for a meal.
The dinner was set at the Pantheon Palace Luxury Hotel.
Back in the day, Wyatt and his friends lived a modest life at the bottom of the social ladder at the university.
They recalled a previous dinner invitation from Lucy, where the three of them had scraped together just enough money for one person.
Eventually, William, unable to bear it, paid for their meal.
This time, it was the same hotel.
William didn\'t reply to their message but directly headed to the hotel with Luna and the others.
He confidently entered the same private dining room as before.
Knocking on the door, he heard Wyatt\'s voice from inside, "Come in!"
William then opened the door.
It was almost an exact reenactment of that day, with the same people present except for David. Even the small table, plastic stools, and the people sitting on them hadn\'t changed.
The only difference was Wyatt and Daniel\'s triumphant demeanor, each accompanied by a girl from the dance department, with Ryan chatting amiably with them like brothers.
"William, you\'re finally here!" Ryan exclaimed, getting up to greet William as he entered the room. The others also paused their conversations to greet William.
William glanced at the three young men sitting nearby, who quickly greeted him with smiles.
Previously, they might have referred to Wyatt and his friends as losers or broke, but now everything had changed since they all had the potential to become Soulmancers.
The wealthy "trust fund babies" were nothing compared to them now.
Wyatt was particularly enthusiastic about William\'s arrival. He had been sitting with Lucy, and upon seeing William, he gave her a look and coldly said, "Didn\'t you see William has arrived? Move over and make space."
Lucy\'s face turned red with embarrassment, but she stood up and quietly said to William, "You can sit here, William."
Wyatt seemed to think Lucy\'s response made him look bad. He raised his eyebrows and scolded, "So slow to react, and speaking so softly. Who can hear you? You\'re so clueless."
William narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Wyatt.
If his memory served him right, Wyatt had previously adored Lucy like a goddess.
