Rotor Blades turned and rotated at such speed that it become an invisible blade ready to cut away anything it touches as it took the flying vehicle high up in to the skies.
William was riding his Heliplane and was going to a faraway place just outside of the Wiseburn Kingdoms Border for the deal he had made a few months ago.
Yes, it was finally time for the proposal of the joint excavation to begin.
It has been six months since he has proposed and signed the deal with Saintsgate and now it was ready.
William put down his phone and looked outside the Heliplane as the walls become transparent enough for a wide range view. He saw large forest, mountains, rivers, waterfalls and a few caves here and there.
It was truly a beautiful sight to him.
To William who was someone quiet lazy back in the past and also didn't have enough money to travel around in planes and see sights like this, it was a wonder for him when he saw such sights, especially now that he was in a magical world where impossible back then was plausible here.
He looked at the 20 feet tall Gorilla eating red colored bananas and a 40-foot crocodile lazily swimming in the river and was simply mesmerized.
But it came to end as a sigh escaped from the person beside him as he said, "I can only wish that this gamble pays off."
William took his eyes of the magnificent sight of magically enhanced mother nature and asked Delmar, "You still think this will be a bust?"
Delmar nodding resolutely said, "Yes, I do. Anything that needs to count on luck to persevere is a bad thing in my book and you sponsoring billions... No! even Trillions is an even bigger fool's errand."
William smiled, "We both know it wasn't because luck nor money that I am doing this."
Delmar nodded slowly, "I know… still I wish this wasn't how you would spend so much money on-"
"On what?" Naomi came from the door and asked, "If you're not doing this because of money than why are you doing this anyway?"
William looked away from both of them, "Just to get recognition from some people."
Naomi and Delmar had more questions in them that they wanted to ask but William looked into the vast sceneries again, making them keep those questions in check.
"Another five minutes and we will be there." Naomi said as she glanced at her diamond watch on her right wrist.
[ Five Minutes Later ]
Just as predicted, at the five minute mark, the Heliplane dropped down and landed into the excavation sight. William and his party got out and was immediately greeted by some guards who welcomed them and brought them inside.
William walked with his fellow guards and the exploration ones as he looked at the many equipment's for this kind of event. To him, it was completely unknown what those large steel crane hands were for or why there was a huge whirling saw.
BUT… he knew what some things were for. Things like the plane in front of him, or more like a very advanced carrier and the rocket launchers and such things.
Those two were the only things he understood were the main things for the exploration needed for it to wield results.
Also he saw the ones who were the true units of said exploration.
Frontiers
To him, it looked like normal men and women of many caliber, size, color and even race were getting ready for a typical day of work. They knew that such work could mean the end of them but it seemed as if such threat and loss of companionship wasn't enough to deter them from what they specialized in.
It only took a few moments before he came to the center most point of the place and saw a few buildings that were only created a few weeks ago. These buildings had the walls black and ash color to them and were not built for beauty but for being sturdy.
The main point of these buildings were to use them for research, planning and also as quarters for the sponsors and workers to stay in. As so, this was the place where William's destination was.
The door to the tallest building opened and came out Edward with a large smile as he came towards William. William too smiled and took his hand out for a shake but what happened next shocked him.
Instead of shaking his hand, like a normal business partner would do, Edward hugged him… he hugged him like he was hugging an old friend that he knew since they were kids.
The problem here was their age difference and standing.
So to the people who looked at this scene and saw their boss hugging a young man with such intensity had other thoughts in their heads, even indecent ones.
Some thought that William could be his distant relative that was born from… unusual activity and some that that they had a special relationship… too special.
Even Delmar and Naomi looked at them and had some thoughts. Naomi wasn't too shocked as she only joined recently and didn't know much about William but Delmar was very shocked.
He knew when and how William had contacted Edward, so he also knew of their relationship that had only started a few months ago… so for the life of him, he didn't understand what was happening before him.
William was the one to break the hug as he said, "Well… than- Thank you for the hug, Mr. Saintsgate… I missed you too?" He said not knowing what to get out of this situation.
"Oh don't say that, Aren't we friends, call me Edward." Edward smiled as he didn't notice the slip in William's words. William nodded with a forced smile and nodded as Edward brought him inside the building.
The inside of the place was filled with equipment's and people as they discussed various things.
There were researchers, scientists, frontiers and a few others as Edward described them to William's company. But William wasn't listening to him… more like his brain was thinking of the past moment as Edward talked away.
His brain was on overdrive thinking of the past moment and only because of Anne's assistance did he remember.
'It was because of the skill.'
'What skill?' He asked confused.
'The one you got from the world goddess remember. The one you use in contracts.'
Something clicked in William's mind as it all made sense to him. It was such an important thing that William was about to hit his head for forgetting it but stopped as he was not in a place to do what he wants.
'No wonder why he became so… close. If I knew the skill could work so greatly like this, I would have increased the sponsor amount even more and would have made him my brother.'
'I'm sure that he already thinks himself like that.' Anne said, 'The aura around him about you has changed to such a degree that it seems reality has changed.'
'I wonder why that Goddess gave you such a skill for free.'
