William wanted to keep his demonic lineage and powers a secret—at least for now. Lucas and Thompson seemed to be on his side completely, but he couldn't deny that his abilities were somewhat... strange.
Lucas had already commented on the mysterious man who killed some summoned heroes and drove the others away. His abilities shared certain elements to William's...
"We both have demonic powers. If they find out, I could become an enemy overnight," William thought.
The best move was to keep that secret buried a little longer.
Zanyi walked back to them.
"Told you to leave it to me. Unlocked that barrier easily, hehe."
William had to act fast.
"Maybe the smart move is finding the suspect first," William suggested. "We should let Thompson know, too. Would be good to interrogate him, find out what's inside before we just barge in." He paused. "If even Master Zanyi hadn't noticed this place, that means these people aren't exactly amateurs."
The logic was sound. It bought him time.
