"The reason why we joined the fight with your people…" Uttering those words through his lips tightened by the pain, Sarate's expert threw me a questioning look. Given how he was supposed to attempt buying his life with the information I was seeking, it was quite obvious that he was already testing the waters with what topic might be of interest for me. "Go on." Even though my position was as far from being ready to fight as one could be, I couldn't believe there was any need for me to worry. Despite…-

With the real aim of my plan already accomplished, all I had to do was to chase after the man that I knocked away. Judging the strength of my attack and the height that he reached before his ascent was broken down and turned into a descent, I pushed my feet heavily into the ground before jumping forward. The soaring of the wind by my eyes was strangely relaxing. As if surfing through the idle winds of the fall's afternoon, I could feel my entire body relaxing as if I wasn't in the middle of pummeling…

"What the actual fuck…" Racing towards the battlefield, I couldn't really wrap my head around what was going on. Where did the Sarate people came from? Were they the ones that caused the current situation? How come they were fighting side by side with people under me? Even though the last question that appeared in my mind had quite an obvious answer, I refused to acknowledge it. Be it my grudge towards Martha and the family behind her or my natural disposition not to trust anyone, I had a hard time…

Crash! The first thing that I heard when we neared the campsite of the rest of our team, was the sound of the cloth tearing, metal clinging and some strange noise that I couldn't figure out the source off. But before I would even have a chance to attempt guessing its origin, one of the two commanding trucks filled to the brim with expensive electronics exploded in a ball of fire! Raising several meters above the ground, a gentle hue of deep redness seemed to enrich the flames for a moment, before this…

"Sir, if I may ask… How did you do it?" Back in the car, I watched how the empty, fertile lands passed by the window. With barely any other civilian vehicles appearing on the street outside of the logistical trucks, the speed limits from the past no longer held any meaning. "It's simple. I made him refute and later chase us out. When I made the call to the head of the Baskar family, I just asked him to spread the news." With my eyes still glued to the landscape on the other side of the glass, I…

"Agh, I can't believe it is over already…" Stretching my arms high in the air, I released a long sigh. My strange behaviours instantly earned me a weirded-out glance from my bodyguard to the side. "Sir, did you expect more… troubles? Like, I still can't figure out why I was needed here in the first place…" As the expert of the second level, this man was clearly someone busy. Using his services to achieve certain missions was already so expensive, that he started to value even his free time…

"And that concludes the materials that we managed to gather. I wonder if those few short cuts are enough to pique your interest." Pressing the space on my laptop, I smiled at the fat mayor of the town. With a sizeable moustache hanging from both sides of his plentiful lips, it was pretty hard to tell what was going through this man's head. "Interest? More than that, it's quite a scare." Refuting my words, the mayor put his hands together before gracing me with an oily, ugly smile of his. Maybe it was my…

In order for the entire rouse to have any validity, there had to be some kind of fake backstory behind the entire thing. And as weird as it could be at a first glance, by sipping on a tea, a considerable distance away from the dungeon, I was currently making up that backstory. Documented by ample amount of photos, videos and even streams. Using the insane capabilities of modern technology, instead of just camping out in the wild, I even conducted some moral lessons on completely random topics. And…

Comparing Jeff's quarters with mine was like comparing an ant to an elephant. While I occupied an entire wing of the complex for the matters that I wanted to have direct supervision over, the head of the Baskar family only ever requested a simple office with enough space to fit a huge cabinet. Walking towards the doors of this man's fortress, I could see the huge disparity between the atmospheres of both places. In my region of the complex, everything was lively, bustling with activities. One wouldn't…

Leaving Ayda with the fresh addition to the ranks of my personal retainers, I moved to the nearby area where Sander's workshop was located. Just as expected, even before I could even enter the huge hall where he was working on the magic stones, the sound of various machines working in their full swing was already bothering me. Just imagining how that middle-aged craftsman had to endure this noise for hours upon hours… Pushing the doors open, I stepped inside the hall. Now, the awful noise of the…
