Chapter 198: Chapter 198 - Showing Sorry
But instead of air coming out of his mouth, what came out were flames. Not just any flames, flames with the combination dark red and yellow color. The flames were a lot hotter than normal flames were.
The flames were large enough for it to fill the center of the room but nothing were burned by it because of the skillful handling William had over the spell which he had practiced for a while.
The Spell Dragon Boy's Flame was a Dragon Arts spell which was only at the first level. Even still the potency of spell was undeniable on par with level TWO and some spells even THREE.
Just from being beside the flames everybody could feel the heat emanating from it, They were sweating profusely from the heat of it. But none of it mattered to them as they looked at the flames of destruction with mesmerized eyes.
They knew a fire spell when they saw one and because it's the most common one they also had a few fire spells and knew what they actually felt like.
But this flames in front of them were in a another level for them, It felt like they were inside a oven with the highest settings on and they were quite a distance away from the fire spell.
Delmar also looked at the flames like this was the first time he had seen flames like this. He now had confirmed that those were indeed a Dragon's flames.
Because none of the fire spell in the world could rival that of a dragons and the flames in front of him was a never ending beauty of chaos that seemed to devour everything.
William breath out a all the air that he could and spewed out tons of flames and finally when he was done, he stopped spewing out and the spell automatically got cancelled.
He took a slightly deep breath as he quickly got back his composure as he didn't want to show any weakness in front of this people.
Getting back up and looking on to their faces, he only saw shocked faces. Faces that seemed to resemble someone that saw a ghost for the first time in their lives.
William smirked as he knew that the spell had done the job and now he would just reaped the benefits.
"So anything else I need to do for you guys?"
Everybody shook their heads slowly as they still haven't forgotten about the beautiful spectacle a moment earlier. They now looked at their boss with a new found respect in their eyes. Like they were proud to work under him.
Delmar too nodded like them before asking, "Boss, do you truly have a collection of dragon art scrolls?"
William had a tick mark on his face as he answered, "Of Course, I do. What? You still don't believe me or something?"
Delmar shook his head and said, "No Boss, It's just just…" Then he immediately bend down to the floor and kowtowed in front of William as he said, "I'm sorry, Boss for not trusting your words and I hope that you would believe me."
William became shocked at the new found scene. But before he could answer him something even more stranger happened.
The guards and everyone else that had doubted his words before took Delmar as an example and all quickly bend down like him and kowtowed in behind him and said in unison.
"We are sorry, Boss for not trusting your words and We hope that you would believe me."
William looked at the scene with a slight shock before he felt a little better. The scene was something out of a movie for him and even though they might not have done it because they were really sorry, it still felt very good to see something like this.
William quickly straightened his body and tried to look stern before saying, "As Insolent as you guys were, you still had the capacity to know your mistake and speak out those words.
That's why I am forgiving you for the previous matter."
Everybody except Delmar felt satisfied as they felt that a weight had been lifted from their body as they sighed in relief.
"But if something like this were to happen again. Next time it won't be me giving you an example of just showing the spell to you."
"Next time, I will use that spell on you."
Every employee thought about what he said and a picture of being forcefully bend in front of him and being devoured by flames came to their minds.
The sweat they previously had couldn't come close to what they were feeling now as the fear for disobedience came to their mind as they kowtowed again.
"We Will Be Loyal"
They spoke out those words three times in unison like they were making a vow as they hit their heads heavily on the floor at the end of each sentence.
William nodded as felt like they were showing a level of loyalty on a higher level and truly felt satisfied.
"Alright, that's enough. Get up and quickly get back to your work station. The job is not over yet and we can't be lagging behind by doing stuff like this."
Delmar nodded as he finally got back up and went back to seat in the sofa and continued working on it.
The employees looked at that and also took a look at their boss who seemed to be focusing on the huge tv screen in front of them. So they also slowly got up and went back to their stations.
After a few moments, Delmar spoke out, "Boss, Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, say it." William said that while looking at the tv.
"This may seem very rude but… Can you give me one of the dragon scrolls?"
This caught the attention of not only William but also the other subordinates as they looked at Delmar with eyes so wide it seemed like they would fall off any moment.
William too became curious as he turned back to look at Delmar who was smiling weirdly as all of his teeth seemed to show.
He thought that something was very wrong with the man and he should reprimand him for it. But as he was about to do that something about Delmar's smile told him that his words were not what his face was indicating.
So he thought for a moment before he understood what he meant.
"You want a dragon scroll?"
"Yes, Boss. Any would do."
"Hmm alright."
All the subordinates became shocked at what he said before hearing the next part.
"How about you work very hard and do something about it that would satisfy me very much and I will give you a dragon scroll."
"Oh! And that goes for all of you too."
The subordinates were even more shocked.
"Like I said before, Hard Work will be paid in full."
Hearing that the subordinates quickly went back to their work.
Seeing this, William smiled as Delmar's trick worked and the fearful and respectful subordinates became respectful and encouraged subordinates.
He nodded towards Delmar who smiled and looked back to the huge screen.
