"Can big sis say what she wants from us? If we can help, we won't hesitate," out of the blue, Tina spoke up, attracting everyone's attention.

"Young girl, please mind your words carefully," one of the cloaked guards who was with Anjie when the team arrived said in a harsh tone. Yet with a single wave from Anjie, she silenced her followers, and stopped the fierce response that was about to come from Ibra.

"I never had a sister before, so I can't say I'm offended," Anjie softly smiled, looked at Tina then at Lina up and down, as if she was sizing the two, "I heard that William saved two sisters five years ago, two of the rarest and most mysterious Selvators. You are these two, right?"

Tina might give an impression of being at twenty years or something, with such a mature and tall body that didn't match her real age at all. And yet Anjie didn't fall for such a trick and seemed to know a lot about William and William's team.

Her little remark didn't pass unnoticed by all, and Lina, Sara, Ibra, Berry, and Lang gave her a serious look, one that was filled with doubt and suspicion.

"I've my ways to know anything going on in my kingdom," Anjie said as if it was something trivial or easy to do. Yet they all had more doubts when she said it this way.

In their eyes, they weren't that big to begin with to be the centre of attention of the kingdom's upper echelon. And it felt like Anjie knew everything they and William did since he was a porter in the academy.

All this seemed a bit weird until Anjie said her next words…

"Anyway, it's time to tell you about the reason we are meeting here. I'm sure you already felt the fierce wind blowing from time to time and smelled the bad odour coming out with it. As you can see, the wall behind us is filled with tons of holes, and this is the source of that wind. We want you to go beyond that wall, investigate everything in there, and kill any enemy you might face."

Her words landed, and no one even breathed or said a single word. William's friends looked at each other and they could see the shock over their faces.

"I apologise for being rude," Lara was the first to speak up, "but… The kingdom has much scarier forces than our humble team. We are young, inexperienced, and didn't have any pinnacle spirit master or even a high stage one."

"Yes, we don't even have a high stage dark gold master, or even mid stage one," Ibra hurriedly chimed in. and before anyone else would say anything else, Anjie raised her hand again in an elegant and calm way, stopping all of them.

"I know you all have your doubts, but in a few seconds, you'll see why I brought you here," she paused, and for the first time since they came here, she turned towards the wall and focused on it as if she was waiting for something to happen.

The moment she did that, everyone realised what was going on. They arrived just after the end of one fierce blow of the wind. And they stayed here for almost five minutes.

That meant the next wind blow was going to happen any second now. And for a reason, she wanted them to witness it, as if it was going to explain her illogical request.

Soon enough the walls started to change. The white substance oozing out from the holes started to get restless, swirling around as if they were forming a tornado. At the same time, more white substance started to come out, and it didn't just float to the ceiling like before.

This time the substance got pushed towards everyone inside the room, filling it entirely as if it was dawn time or something. Before any of William's friends would get what was happening, wind came.

The wind was fierce and carried a foul smell. When everyone expected to get thrown away by the wind, they felt nothing!

The wind seemed to evade the white substance, or the white fog was like a coat that protected them. They watched the wind howling around, pressuring the white fog and forming a thicker layer around them.

"Don't look around, look at the ceiling," when everyone's attention was drawn towards the wind and fog around, Anjie's calm voice came to attract them towards another direction.

The ceiling already got a thick layer of the white substance since the first moment they stepped in. It was forming a layer like a cloud before, but now this layer had all changed.

The layer was thicker, and that was expected with all the white substance that gushed out from the holes before the blowing wind hit. But that wasn't all. The fog up there started to show weird shapes, indentations and risings, lines and dots, circles and irregular lines, forming some sort of a very detailed drawing.

It was a weird thing to see, but the weirdest of all was the identity of this drawing.

"A fox with tails?!!!" Berry couldn't help but mutter in immense shock, "why is William's spirit drawn in such a place?!!!"

"That's why I called you all here," Anjie was right in what she said and did. Just by watching the wind blowing and inspecting the changes that happened here, William's friends got everything.

The picture drawn in great detail up there at the ceiling depicted a fox with tails, with the fog swirling and changing around it as if a formidable power was emitted from the fox.

"But… William never came here before," Sara looked at the drawing in more shock. She was right in what she said, and Anjie knew it.

"I don't know why his image is drawn here by this weird fog, or what's his relationship with this place. But we have masters experienced in seeing the future, and they told me this place's mystery is connected to William."
