Chapter 337: Chapter 337 - Robberies Aftermath
After the explosion, guards moved in quickly and took down the already in pain robbers and called the police who came the next moment and took them in custody.
But before they could leave, they took detailed statements of the events that had happened from most people in the casino and shocked was an understatement for them.
From one guy they learned that a kid had brazenly come up for their help and defeated the robbers with just one move that was quite flashy for the old guy to remember.
Another said that robbers were too easy going and idiots that's why they were so quickly taken down and that too by just a kid.
Another said that the kid had sacrificed himself for the sake of others and even saved the ladies that were captured by the robbers and there were many more of such stories.
Most were way too stretched out in their way and some were fake to the point that one even said a Greek Male God came and punished the sinners… which made no sense whatsoever, but the one thing that was in tune with everyone's statement was that a kid had saved them.
When the police searched for the kid they not just found the kid completely unharmed but also learned that he was the owner of this massive casino. Frankly that was even more unbelievable for them than even the story about the male greek god.
Then they took his statement which William told them the 'Real' story from his perspective and the police were still shocked by the way that he had handled it.
The fact that the kid in front of them provoked the robbers instead of calming them was quite surprising then the fact that he had taken them out with just one spell.
Because who in the hell provokes the enemy when they have multiple assault rifles pointed towards your head?
The police took their time with the statements and at the end was left scratching their heads as they finally were able to put together the bizarre story, but William was able to help them with their story by nudging them in the right direction and sliding a sufficiently large enough bag filled with cash to them. Which made them work quite fast and they quickly left while promising the public that the criminals would be punished as severely as possible.
William just smiled at the leaving cops before taking a large breath and motioning towards the somewhat shaken groups of people.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, May I have your attention."
His words attracted everyone as they looked at their crazy young savior with disheveled faces.
"I know that every one of you have experienced something extremely bad today and for that I am sorry." He said with a slight bow as most nodded satisfied but a few were clearly not as they voiced out their words.
"Just saying sorry doesn't clear you away from everything that happened you know."
Another said, "Yeah and how bad is your security anyway that it took them so long to come here."
"Because of you those pretty ladies were so scared, how are you going to take responsibility for that, hah."
"Yeah, exactly what he said."
Hearing those words made many people frown as they immediately understood that some people just wanted to take advantage of such situations. The girls who were previously rescued immediately reprimanded the people who were using them to put all the blame at William. But William stopped them.
"Yes, you are exactly right. All of this is my fault." William said with a remorseful face.
"And there isn't anything out there that could by any means help you ease your worries or even lower the guilt that is built inside my heart." William's words made many women and even some men look at him with heartache, "but the only thing I can do to lessen it by just a bit is to remove all the losses every one of you had today."
The people went quiet immediately as they didn't react to his words until their brains finally processed what he said and all of them who had lost their money and even those that didn't lose their money had eyes as wide as a colossal squid.
But William wasn't finished.
"And not only that but I will also open the bar for the next two hours and any drinks within this period of time will be completely free." William said, "but only for drinking, you can't bring it home with you."
The people who were once silence before now finally moved as they gasped and those that were bit too in love with alcohol immediately whistled out to William.
BANG! BANG!
BANG! BANG!
They looked towards the sound and saw the bars now had multiple bottles on the counter and the barman were smiling in an inviting way to the people.
So what happened next?
They went crazy.
As most would have thought that the people would go to get their money back from the table that they lost but they didn't go there. They made a straight beeline towards the bars which were now completely filled with people drinking the most expensive drinks there were available and those that they couldn't drink before because of their financial situation.
William looked at the people with a smile on his face as Naomi came beside him with a frown, "William, I get why you did such a thing but…" She looked at the people that were drinking off expensive wines and alcohols within seconds, "This will put a large dent in our pocket."
"Even more than removing the money they lost today?"
"Especially more. Those bottles that they are 'Chugging' down are worth more than they can ever pay and they… are not even giving it a chance to taste them," She had a disgustful face while saying, "What animals."
William didn't care that much about their behavior and instead felt at ease as he looked at their barbaric but happy faces, "But this is the only way to completely make everyone happy and not have any reprimands for it."
Naomi nodded with a heavy sigh as she had to give to William that this idea of his would work wonders with everyone. Because nobody was crazy enough to repay debts and give free drinks in the largest casino in a kingdom.
"Even if it meant that I would have to lose tens of millions in the making."
"Ohhhh, it's going to cost you much more than that." Naomi said with a hard look.
"Really?"
"Emhmm"
William didn't give it any thought and looked for the young lady that he was with for some time. He searched her but she had already left by that time as he could only sigh heavily.
.....
The young girl was now flying away in her large flying pet as the man next to her asked, "Were you okay back there?"
The young girl nodded, "Oh yes I was, pappy. I meant someone who had protected me through the whole thing."
"And how was he?"
The girl gave a large smile, "Oh! He was very nice… he felt quite special."
