Chapter 775 Was Garen not satisfied with him?


    ??William''s temper has improved significantly over the years.


    If this had been eons ago, encountering someone like Zed who starts a fight right off the bat, he would have definitely pped him dead on the spot.


    Now, having lived for so long, he has be more easy-going. Plus, having had a satisfying battle in the Cosmic Entity Guardians'' War, fighting someone at Zed''s level now feels utterly nd.


    He was already trying hard to control his own power. If they must fight, what''s the point?


    Garen arranged William''s teaching schedule quite swiftly—a ss a week, taking up arge lecture hall.


    It was one of those elective courses where students could choose to attend if they were interested.


    Once the schedule was set, Garen hurried over to see William.


    "Mr. Johnson, do you think this arrangement is suitable?" Garen thought of Mr. Johnson as a transcendent sage, for whom teaching was merely a yful endeavor.


    For a big shot like him, isn''t one ss a week just perfect?


    As for the students?


    Only those destined would attend, of course!


    It would be best if no one attended,if that happened, he''d bring in everyone from the Emerald Lion Guild.


    Hehe!


    With this setup, Mr. Johnson would surely be pleased!


    Garen felt he understood the desires of the powerful well, thinking maybe if Mr. Johnson was pleased, he might teach him another secret sword technique, which would be a huge win.


    William took the schedule and nced at it, his brow furrowing slightly as he slowly lifted his eyelids, "Hmm?"


    Just one ss a week, and it''s an elective!


    Was Garen not satisfied with him?


    Any majorints?


    "Hmm?" Garen also hummed subconsciously, but quickly realized something was amiss and hurriedly said with a smile, "Mr. Johnson, are you satisfied?"


    William''s frown rxed slightly and he said, "Since it''s Vice Principal Garen who arranged it, I have no objections."


    "Mr. Johnson, please just call me Garen. I can''t bear such formalities," Garen said, remembering how terrifying William could be when he took action. In today''s world, who could withstand a strike from William?


    "No, no, no! You can bear it. Now I am your subordinate, what can Vice Principal Garen not bear?" William, holding the schedule, asked, "How is my sry calcted?"


    "Sry?" Garen was stunned.


    Sry?


    Does a great being like Mr. Johnson even need a sry?


    "You''re not nning to pay me at all?" William''s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze turning somewhat menacing!


    Just one elective ss a week and not even mentioning the sry, it seemed Garen was really dissatisfied with him!


    William remembered that he had hit him before...


    Oh, so he''s taking this opportunity to make things difficult for him on purpose?


    Garen felt a chill run down his spine, that terrifying sensation as if a wrong answer could lead to his immediate demise.


    "What do you think... how should the sry be given?" Garen''s forehead broke out in cold sweat, feeling like he was brushing a tiger''s teeth. Now, he felt he was in real danger!


    William sneered, "Isn''t that something the school administration should consider? I''m only teaching one ss a week. Vice Principal Garen, you should decide how much to give, shouldn''t you?"


    Garen''s back was soaked with sweat, his Adam''s apple bobbing noisily.


    Hearing William''s tone, he felt the danger increasing...


    "Then... how about ten thousand energy crystals per ss?" Garen said tentatively, watching William''s expression. "One ss?"


    Nowadays, the school paid sries with ordinary crystals dropped by mutated creatures.


    Energy crystals were generally only avable torge guilds.


    Ten thousand crystals for one ss was already a huge amount.


    The Emerald Lion Guild had been gathering resources everywhere these days, and the entire guild had only managed to umte over two million energy crystals. Offering ten thousand crystals for one ss to William was truly a princely sum.


    Although Garen himself felt that the offer might be a bit low, he thought that ten thousand energy crystals per ss was still manageable for the Emerald Lion Guild to pay for a while.


    If it were any higher, he might not be able to afford it.


    "Why would I need energy crystals?" William said, "As far as I know, the school usually pays with Mutated creature crystals. What''s the meaning of giving me energy crystals?"


    "And ten thousand crystals for one ss, are you trying to squeeze me on purpose?" William continued, "I know I''ve hit you before, but now I''m just here to teach. As the vice principal, doing this is particrly pointless, you know?"


    "If you don''t want me to teach, just say it outright. What''s the meaning of this passive-aggressive behavior?"


    "One elective ss a week, and you''re giving me ten thousand crystals per ss, is your Emerald Lion Guild just too rich?"


    William was genuinely upset now. He came to teach mainly because he was too idle and looking for something to do, but he couldn''t stand this kind of underhanded treatment.


    Garen almost burst into tears. What passive-aggressive behavior?


    Where was he being passive-aggressive?


    Being passive-aggressive in front of William?


    Wasn''t that just asking for trouble?


    "Mr. Johnson, please don''t misunderstand, I didn''t mean it like that at all!" Garen exined with a mix ofughter and tears, "I just thought that, given your status, one ss a week was already quite generous. As for the sry, ten thousand energy crystals per ss, if you think it''s too little, I can add more. Please don''t be angry!"


    "Oh?" William nced at Garen''s expression, who seemed genuinely frightened and sincere, apparently not trying to squeeze him.


    "Alright then!" William nodded and said, "I thought you were being sarcastic, implying something negative about me! Since that''s not the case, let''s discuss this further."


    After he finished speaking, Garen felt a great relief throughout his body.


    Just a moment ago, it really felt like he was stepping through the gates of hell!


    Damn, Mr. Johnson actually thought he was being sarcastic...


    Holy crap, that was a bit too much of a joke!


    If he hadn''t exined himself quickly, he might have died without even knowing why.


    In the future, I must never try to guess the thoughts of a big shot like him.


    Once you get it wrong, it''s really easy to cause trouble!


    After understanding Garen''s intentions, William was no longer angry and said calmly, "Vice Principal Garen, don''t be upset either. It was all a misunderstanding, but it''s good to clear things up when they arise."


    "Yes, yes, yes!" Garen nodded repeatedly.


    Misunderstandings can be deadly!


    They must be avoided in the future.


    "Firstly, I''ll be teaching about the habits of Mutated creatures and the properties of some mutant nts. One ss a week is definitely not enough; I need to have sses every day. Do you understand?" William decided to be straightforward, "Also, regarding the sry, I hope to be treated the same as other teachers. Whatever the standard pay rate is for teachers at the school, that''s what I should get."


    Hearing William say this, Garen suddenly realized, what the hell was he thinking?


    Does a powerhouse like Mr. Johnson need energy crystals?


    He doesn''t!


    What he wants is to experience life, and if it''s about experiencing life, then he should be given the feel of living it.


    Arranging just one ss a week for him, wasn''t that underestimating him?


    Garen finally snapped back to reality, a smile appearing on his face, and said, "Mr. Johnson, I know what to do now!"
