Chapter 284 : 284 - No Matter What
"Well…. Shit" William said as he remembered that he didn't pay the money to churches and other places as God told him to.
It wasn't that he didn't want to do it, it was that he had forgotten about it. It was such a simple thing that he completely forgot about it.
Anne went silent for a moment and then she said, 'You forgot, didn't you?'
William gave an awkward smile and said, "Yeahhhh…. Sorry."
'Saying sorry to me, isn't going to make up for this.' Anne said as William feared the inevitable.
"So is this… it for me?" William said as he started to have flashbacks of all the things he did and the ones that he wanted to do.
'What! No!' Anne said loudly breaking William's moment, 'You just have to pay back all the debt that you own to God, stop making this more dramatic than it needs to be.'
William had a strange face as he asked, "Really? That's all that I need to do."
'Yeah, so stop worrying so much about something so simple.' Anne said with a fake annoyed tone.
"I know that I freaked out quite a bit, but you have to realize, it's mostly because of you."
'ME?????' Anne said with a overly shocked tone.
"Yes, it is. You just scared the shi* out of me by saying all the things that would happen if I didn't pay the money." William said and pointed, "And stop acting like that… I don't know why your acting like a tsundere, but stop doing it… it brings bad memories to me."
William said as a certain moment from his previous life came to him that made him shudder.
'But from your memories, it seemed like, you like girls who act like that.' Anne said as she was confused.
"Wha- What! Who told you that!" William's eyes widened hearing her, "I Don't Like Tsundere's."
Even though Anne could clearly hear what he said, Her intuition told her, the matter was not as simple as it seems.
'It seems like there is something deep about that matter. Do you want to talk about it?' Anne asked with a mature professional women's tone.
"I… Well if insis-" William immediately realized what he was about to do and stopped, "NO… NEVER."
'So at a later date then.'
"…"
"You know what… let's just forget we ever spoke about this and get back to the track."
'If that's what you want… but if you ever want to then you know where to find me.' Anne said with a slightly mystic tone.
William didn't know whether to feel good about this new improvement in her. So in the end, he just ignored it. "GETTING TO TOPIC" He said with gritted teeth, "Tell me what to do to correct this negative luck thing?"
'Simple, Just go and pay the debt that you own to God.'
"That's it? No other extra payment or something?"
Anne suddenly looked at William with a strange gaze and asked, 'Does it look like, We are working in an interest rate job?'
"Just wanted to make sure. So I only have to pay back the money that I own right?"
'Yes…. And also try to add something else to it.' Anne said as she looked away quickly.
"But you just said… Ahh forget it, just tell me what else do I need to do?"
'I don't know, let me check the guide book for a second.'
"There's a guidebook?"
'No, that was a joke.'
"…"
'…'
"…"
'… So after a thorough check, you just need to pay the amount that you are in debt, that is the amount of 5.27 Billion Dollars and for the extra… stop acting evil indefinitely.'
"…"
'…'
"… Anne"
'Yes?'
"What was the extra bit again?"
'Oh! That one… just stop acting evil indefinitely.' Anne said as her voice became quite at the end.
"Does it really say that?" William asked with doubt.
'Why! Don't you believe what I say?' Anne said with a tsundere tone. 'And here, I thought, We were best friends, who would always believe each other and help each other and no matter what happens… we will trust each other.' Anne said with a heart provoking tone.
Unfortunately for her, William wasn't buying her bullshi*, "Yeahhh… I get what you are trying to say but… is it really true or are you hiding something for me?"
Anne didn't say anything and stayed quiet as William asked, "Anne… is something wrong?"
'…'
"'Sigh' is it about what I am acted with Carl?"
'…'
"I know that it was a little extrem-" William was immediately cut off.
'A little!' Anne exclaimed loudly, 'You grabbed the man's head and directly told him that you were going to give him so much pain that he would wish that he was in Gehenna.'
"…" William stayed quiet and looked at the orange juice in his hands as Anne continued.
'Not only that but there are so many other things too. You are so cold, so dark, soo different… so different from the William that I know… The William that I knew was not such a bad person… he… cared.' Anne said as her voice trailed off.
'…' William drank from the glass, "Well that person is gone, fortunately."
Anne stayed quiet as William said, "This may look very bad to you who just woke up so suddenly and seeing me like this wasn't what you expected to see. I know that… but you have to understand that If I'm not strong… not bad… then people would have already ripped me to pieces and would have taken everything I had."
"AND THAT I CAN NOT LET THAT HAPPEN." William clutched the glass so hard that it broke apart and its small shards flew in different directions with astonishing speed, breaking some things and scratching some walls.
He unclenched his hand and looked at the small pieces of glass that were in his hands, the pieces weren't able to pierce his strong iron clad hands.
William looked at his hands and saw Power… Power that he didn't have back in his previous world… Power that wasn't achievable in his previous world.
The same power that all in his previous world would have done anything to achieve it. But only he was granted this opportunity. Not only that but he was given much more… so much that people even in this world would give their humanity to have.
William wasn't about to let such a huge opportunity let away from his hands. The same power that could be rivaled as a God's. He wouldn't give away any of them no matter what challenges the world put upon him.
Anne seeing the determination in his soul, didn't try to deter him any longer, 'Alright then, I won't say anything about this matter any longer.'
William sighed and said with a heavy smile, "Thank you for that. I know it doesn't look like I am doing the right thing but… give it time, I can promise you that all I am doing will be good for everyone."
'As long as you remember which limits you shouldn't cross.'
William nodded.
'So how are you going to pay the debt then?'
William had a dark smile bordering his face, "Oh… I have just the perfect one."
