Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

From start to finish, Nelson never dared to mention William's true identity. The two acted as if they had never met before.

Given that Nelson had said he didn't like staying here, Walker naturally didn't think it was because Nelson felt threatened by William. Thus, Walker sincerely took him at his word and promised to find another place for him to stay.

Alice escorted them to the door. Nelson paused to glance at William, then said to Alice, "I'll come visit another day."

His words were primarily directed at William. William's identity was profoundly mysterious. Nelson had witnessed his capabilities, yet at a glance, William seemed nothing more than an ordinary man. But it was this very enigma that made William appear so unfathomable.

If he ever intended to visit again, he would, of course, have to gauge William's mood.

William, however, didn't even lift his head, much less respond.

To Alice, Nelson's words carried no deeper meaning. She replied, "Come whenever you wish."

"I'll come again tomorrow." Having this unique bond with William, Nelson was reluctant to let it end there. After all, William was a supreme power, one whom even their legendary mage Merlin addressed as 'Master'. If Nelson could receive guidance from him, there would be a genuine chance to surpass his current capabilities.

William remained silent, as if he hadn't heard a word.

After Walker and Nelson left, Alice playfully nudged William, asking, "Master, how are things progressing with Evelyn?"

"What do you mean 'how are things progressing'?" William lifted his head to glance at her, his expression calm, revealing nothing.

"Have you held hands yet?" Alice inquired.

"Why would we hold hands?" William replied before immersing himself back in his book.

Alice was at a loss for words. It was clear he harbored feelings for Evelyn, yet he never confessed or even showed any apparent interest. It wouldn't be unfair to label him as being somewhat clueless about romance and everyday nuances of life.

"Do you want to keep your distance until she falls for you? Are you hoping to charm her into pursuing you with your charismatic personality?"

William was a fast learner, having grasped the modern concept of 'chasing' someone. Most importantly, he'd been doing his homework. He'd been researching how to court a contemporary woman.

In a formal way, of course!

After all, he wasn't exactly from this era. In ancient tribal times, to woo a woman, one would typically demonstrate strength, hunting skills, or combat abilities to ensure the family's wellbeing. In the medieval period, if a man fancied a noblewoman or a village girl, they might pursue her through familial arranged marriages or official social gatherings like balls. During the Renaissance, men showcased their literary or artistic talents at salons or parties, using poetry, music, or art to win a woman's heart. Now, in this modern age, everything seemed so different to William.

Having only recently met Evelyn, William felt a bit lost in this society that embraced free love. Before he figured out how to court Evelyn, he certainly didn't want to overstep any boundaries and risk leaving a frivolous impression.

Over the past couple of days, William had flipped through many books and searched for dating "strategies" online, but none seemed fitting. He was at a loss.

In most areas, William could be considered a jack of all trades. Yet, when it came to pursuing a woman, he was genuinely clueless.

After all, he had no experience. In the past, women had always chased after him.

Setting his book aside, William arched an eyebrow and stared intently at Alice, commanding coldly, "Sit properly!"

"Master, I was wrong!" Alice suddenly felt that William's expression was quite intimidating. On second thought, someone as profound as William must have unconventional methods. In the matter of pursuing Evelyn, how could she interfere with her thoughtless comments?

She's walked right into a minefield!

With a solemn expression, William asked gravely, "Tell me, how do you think I should woo her?"

"Huh?" Alice's delicate mouth fell open slightly, staring blankly at William.

What's going on?

"What are you 'huh-ing' about? I'm asking you." At this moment, William probably felt that having a disciple, albeit a seemingly clueless one, could be handy. After all, who better to understand a woman's mind than another woman?

That's what he'd read, anyway.

Tentatively, Alice inquired, "You've never been in love?"

"Well, I have!" Given William's extensive experience with women, to say he hadn't would be absurd.

Alice's curiosity flared up. She pressed, "Then how did you approach them?"

William fell into deep thought. After all, there were so many.

His first love was Aphrodite from Greek mythology. At the time, she was being pursued by a Titan and took refuge in his home, where he saved her. The second was Freyja from Norse legends. They clashed several times over a dispute and eventually dueled... Subsequent relationships typically started with him revealing his divine powers and wisdom. Whether goddesses or mortals, they would be captivated, and things naturally progressed from there. Winning the affection of goddesses or women might sound challenging, but in reality, it wasn't. Based on past experiences, simply appearing before Evelyn and showcasing his divine charisma should make her fall for him. However, that approach doesn't seem to work anymore.

Times really have changed!

With these thoughts, after a long silence, William finally said, "I've never been in a relationship before."

"What?!" Alice stifled a laugh, her hand over her mouth.

She'd always imagined her master to be quite the ladies' man, especially given his associations with beauties like Bella and Lila. Bella even personally invited him to her father's banquet.

Now even Alice felt that her master was profoundly mysterious and impressive.

In terms of looks, William could easily outshine those Hollywood heartthrobs. With his remarkable charisma, not to mention his wealth, isn't he the epitome of a dream guy?

And yet, he'd never been in love. It was utterly unbelievable.

Especially when William seriously asked her about pursuing women, Alice was a little taken aback.

Under William's warning gaze, Alice coughed again, cleared her throat, and asked, "Master, do you know what Evelyn likes?"

"Not yet."

William didn't want to use magic, like mind-reading, on Evelyn. Living in a modern world without supernatural entities, it seemed best to play by the rules of this era. Otherwise, any love gained wouldn't last.

"So, you need a partner like me to assist you, right?" Alice's eyes twinkled mischievously as she grinned, "Ancient wisdom says, 'Know your enemy and yourself, and you'll never be defeated.' How about letting your beautiful and clever disciple gather some intel for you?"

William gently shook his head, a playful glint in his eyes, responding, "I remember when I first met you, you were so reserved and quiet. How have you become so confident and, dare I say, a bit narcissistic?"
