INFINITE MONEY - I Will Buy Everything

356  Chapter 356 - Delmar's Genderly Suspicion

After the talk, all the people went back to their respective rooms to rest for a while before setting out to start the expedition. It was only a 10-minute rest moment and not long.

The group wanted to start the expedition as quickly as possible so they only went to freshen up.

William was escorted to his own private room just for him and he too took a five-minute rest before washing himself and changing his clothes.

But he was having slight trouble wearing is clothes. It was not because the clothes were of heavy properties and had a different way to fit than normal but because there was a man in his room who was complaining to him.

Delmar kept walking from the door to the other end of the room endlessly and complained to William, "HOW! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!"

"You heard him say what he said, it's done." William said without a shred of worry in him.

"But how!!" Delmar looked at him with wide surprised eyes.

"How can he give us such a lucrative deal!"

Delmar didn't let William speak and continued on.

"Why is he giving us 55% of the whole pure mana crystal site!" He said and his own words seem to surprise him more.

William didn't say anything and thought back to the moment when Edward had told them that they would be given 55% of the whole deal. It was a great deal for William and he could only accept it.

"Is that person not sane?" Delmar asked himself.

"Why are you acting like he gave us 100's of trillions for free! That place might be worth a few trillion or less and we will only get 55% of that."

"We already have more than enough money than what that mana crystal place has, so stop it.!"

Delmar stammered as he explained, "Th- that might be tru- true… BUT!" He looked at William with a serious look and said, "The strange thing about Mana Crystal place is that even if you harvest it completely, the crystals will regrow back once more."

"It may take 50 to 100 years… and even more so," Delmar said and scratched his bald head, "That place is ground to pure mana crystals… which is very rare and that guy just gives half of it to us… just like that."

William just waved off his words, "Don't think it like that. Did you forget that we would also have to give a percentage of our deal to the kingdom as well?"

"And stop complaining over such a good thing, you will bring bad luck over us."

"Is there even such a thing as bad luck?" Delmar asked absentmindedly. "We are being showered such a great opportunity like this… hmm something smells fishy."

"Add to the fact that he is behaving such friendly with you, when you have only met him just a few months ago."

Delmar thought seriously as William sweated for a second. Then as if something clicked inside his head, Delmar's head turned at him and said, "Boss… you and him aren't..."

William looked at him with a deadpan face and just that to convince Delmar it was not what he had thought.

"Yeahhh maybe not." He said then thought once again, "Then why…"

"Forget about that and look at this." William said and showed himself to Delmar. Delmar looked and saw William in a steel suit that covered his neck to feet. He also had a head gear too but thought it was unnecessary to wear such a thing.

The suit wasn't for show but is used for great measurement of security. The suit is made of Orsolum Steel which is said to be the Hardest material against beasts and also it was light too, so it wouldn't be problem if one wanted to run away from a fight that they couldn't win or didn't want to participate in.

The suit also had the mana resistance and elemental resistance built in so no mana related problems happens for the user.

William had worn this because it was customary to wear a protective suit if a person wanted to venture out to the wild or in this case go on an expedition.

It was Law.

Delmar looked him up and down and nodded slightly, "It is good… but not the best."

Halbeck, was a man of 6.5 foot and looked imposing with his dark skin tone and slash to his left eye.

"Well if I wanted more protection than I need to upgrade to the heavier ones… and I don't want to go on this excavation with such heaviness towering me down." William said as he patted the suit.

The suit he was wearing, even though a lighter one, it still weights at 160 KG. Joining the head gear too it would weigh at 200 KG.

Now with William's strength at his current level, it isn't a problem for him to carry such weight but if he wanted to wear the heavier ones with more protection coming at 500 to 800 KG's, it would become a movement problem for him.

He still didn't have enough strength to wear such heavy armor and also run too.

"Well it's not like you will be facing any kind of problem or attack, which will be handled by the frontier groups and our own security combined with Saintsgate's, it doesn't seem like you need to wear any protective gear actually." Delmar said but William shook his head.

"It's always better to take some caution than none at all."

"Quite right."

They then opened the door to see a angry Naomi standing there.

"What's wrong with you?"

Naomi pointed her finger at Delmar, "Why does he get to go inside of your room and not me?"

William wondered if today was an inauspicious day for him or not with his closest comrades asking bizarre questions.

"First of all, he went in without asking me and only complained, which you never do."

"And secondly, I was changing clothes so, I couldn't let a gentle lady like you be disturbed by a scene like that." William said with the utmost straight bullshit. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

'But I want to see you like that.' Naomi quietly said which was ignored by both men.

"Alright, let's go then." William said as Delmar walked along him with questions flying though his head and Naomi walking behind with a dejecting air.

They walked straight out to the landing area where Edward and his company was waiting for them with the planes.

"Before we leave I need to introduce you to these people." He said and pointed to the group of four people behind him. William looked and saw a frontier group with three male members and one female.

"This is the Tiger Lurche Frontier group, especially brought to protect us from any kind of trouble we might find ourselves in and this is Halbeck, the leader of the group."

Halbeck, was a man of 6.5 foot and looked imposing with his dark skin tone and slash to his left eye.

Halbeck gave a nod to William as Edward continued, "If you need or want to ask something and can't find me, then talk to him about it."

William nodded and went to talk with Halbeck, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Halbeck."

"Just Halbeck and yeah-"

"Ahh… such a dashing young man."

"Hey what do you say about going on a date?"
