INFINITE MONEY - I Will Buy Everything

He didn\'t know whether the camera malfunctioned and the screen froze or whether the purple ball of destruction actually hit them and coincidentally also hit the camera for it to behave that way.

He waited for a while but nothing seemed to change so he asked Delmar who was rapidly typing on the laptop, "Have you figured out what went wrong?"

Delmar shook his head and sighed while saying, "Sorry Boss. Nothing seems to be the problem, at least when it comes to the cameras I placed.

But when it comes to the servers it feels like a wall. A wall that\'s stopping me from getting inside."

Telling up to that point, Delmar stopped talking and went into deep thought which was noticed by William, "What is it?"

"I am getting a certain feeling that something is not right over there."

William wanted to rebuke him by saying that \'Of Course, Adam and a Great House\'s Master are about to fight\' but didn\'t as he understood what he meant. So he said slowly.

"You\'re thinking it might be some outside interference." William guessed and asked in return.

Delmar shook his head as he added, "More like an inside one."

William didn\'t understand thia time but Delmar spoke out for him.

"I had been monitoring the outside cameras and even some of the inside. So I know that nobody new had come in or anything also."

"It could also be that you didn\'t notice someone coming in." William said.

"It could. But I also put the camera in overdrive facial recognition/alerting mode so even if I had missed it the cameras certainly couldn\'t have."

"Who knows, there may be some spells out there that might be able to hide from electronic devices."

Delmar said after much thought, "Yeah that could be it too. But something in my gut tells me whatever it was… It was not from the outside."

"So from the inside then."

"Noooo… It doesn\'t look like that too."

William asked confusedly, "So if it\'s not from the inside or the outside then what is it?"

Delmar said as he looked at the frozen things on the monitor, "I don\'t know that but whatever it is, it certainly is very powerful."

"Why is that?"

"Look at that for a moment." William came and saw Delmar pointing to the watch that flew off from Carl\'s hand and seemed to be on the air frozen.

"I had been looking at that watch for a while and right before the screen stopped as it slowly turned to stop, I saw a flash of colors in the reflection of the watch."

"So it could be that the lights are reflecting it?"

"NO. No. I clearly saw that it was a range of colors sporting many vibrant things."

"What things?"

Delmar typed on the laptop with ferocity as the screen increasingly zoomed in and the screen blurred for it to only turn clearer the next moment.

After a few moments of zooming in, some things could be seen. Things that seemed like words but because of the amazing amount of zooming in the words couldn\'t be seen that clearly, But still William was able to see them.

He looked at those words that were like scratches that would be drawn on ancient caves.

"They seem like broken scratches from the photo being zoomed a lot." Delmar was about to say otherwise but William wasn\'t finished.

"But if I look closely then they seem like ancient words or symbols from back thousands of years or so."

"Try hundreds of thousands." William looked at Delmar who continued.

"When I first looked at them, I thought they were symbols from a few thousand year of scratch on the wall but I searched them and was able to find that they were some kind of ancient texts that were used for powerful spells back then."

"How powerful?"

"Powerful enough to stop any kind of interference or strong enough to blow up a country in a blink."

William thought about his words and asked, "Powerful enough to stop time in a small location as that?" He said while pointing towards the screen.

"Yes" Delmar only gave that answer and they became quiet.

After a long moment, William spoke, "Sooo… whoever it was, it certainly is powerful then right?"

"Yeah"

"Quiet powerful enough for us to not be able to do anything."

"Unless you can find someone who is strong enough to reverse ancient spells then I don\'t think so, Boss."

"Well that only means one thing then."

William said and Delmar looked at him for understanding. He walked towards the bed and jumped on it and then rolled around for a bit before finding a good place and resting in that position.

"Find a good spot and rest in."

Delmar looked at William sleeping in the bed and waited for a moment but did not see any changes on him.

He looked at the guys next to him who also looked back at him with a questioning look so he asked, "Boss?"

"Yeah"

"Are you really sleeping?"

"Yeah"

"Aren\'t we not going to do something about it?"

William turned to look at him and said, "What can we do about it? Didn\'t you say that without someone strong enough to do something about the time spell, we can\'t do anything?

So we don\'t do anything about it."

Delmar looked for desperation or fear in his voice but did not found any and only found boredom. So after thinking for a moment, he could only sigh and say, "So what do WE do now boss?"

William said while yawning, "Call in room service and order whatever you guys want, I\'ll pay for them."

Delmar went silent for a while before smiling and looked back at the guys who had the same face as him, "You heard the boss guys, Call the room service and order a buffet for us."

All the guys quickly went to get the one screen on the wall that connected them to room service but were fighting on the way to get that.

As they were fighting on what to eat, a guy who was still sitting in his position, looked at the screen and said, "Second boss, you need to look at this."

Delmar being called asked, "What is it? If it\'s not that important than forget about and take some time off." He said as he lazed on the huge couch which was having trouble accommodating such a huge man.

"I think it\'s pretty important boss." The guy insistently said.

Delmar grumbled about \'Work\' as he slowly got out from the sofa he been on for some time and stretched his body before going towards the guy.

"What is it?"

"Here, see this."

Delmar looked at the screen and saw the same image of the purple ball, "Yeah and?"

"Now look at this."

He said and changed the screen to the same image but without the ball in it.

"What happened?"

"I don\'t know but the screen blurred for a moment before it showed this one."

"Hmm… Something feels like its missing here."
