Once he'd set up some preliminary defenses, William pondered the current situation. He'd dealt with assassins several times before, and they always possessed tricky abilities that were catered to perfectly counter their target's abilities.
Even when he was a weak mortal in the Five Elements Sect, the assassin was several times stronger than the strength William displayed in the open at the time. If he was a few seconds slower inventing a new Array to handle the situation, William's journey would have ended right then and there.
The System's overpowered Talents don't give William an excuse to be complacent. Going forward, more and more powerful opponents would stand in his way. He should be ashamed if mere assassins lay even a scratch on him.
With Atticus scouting, there was a high probability that he'd discover the assassins before they found him, so William decided to play aggressively.
