Chapter 32

It was time to face the reality . Today, exactly one year ago, I made an agreement with Rand that I will work and be slave for one year in this village and after that one year, I will receive my freedom back . I went to see Rand and find out if he would uphold the agreement we had . When I arrived at his mansion, there was a guard waiting as if for me . When he spotted me he said "Follow me" so I did .

Inside the mansion, I could see that it was quite elegant . I guessed 'Well the village chiefs even of small villages like this h.o.r.esplain Village have lavish houses' . I followed after the guard . I knew who he was, it was the guy who always watched me . I knew it because I recognised his voice and although this was the first time we met in person, I was 100% sure it was this guy .

We arrived at a room that looked like a study with a large wooden desk in the middle . I saw that Rand was sitting there already waiting for me . The guy that I followed said "Sit on the chair over there" . I walked to the chair and sat down . The guy went outside and I was left alone with Rand in this room .

Rand looked at me and said "How have you been doing this past year?" . I was a bit confused by that question and thought 'Why the h.e.l.l would you care?' . I answered him "What do you want me to answer?" . He didn't seem to mind that type of answer and said "What do you want to do now?" I said to him "Is there a need for this sort of bulls.h.i.t? The one year agreement we had is done . I'm now a free man!" .

His face went a bit grim and said "That is true, if the agreement was true" . I knew he would pull something like that and I was long prepared for it but nevertheless, I acted accordingly and asked "What do you mean?" . He said "Can you prove that we made this agreement and can you prove it was only one year?" I played along and with fake anger replied "What nonsense are you spouting! We made an agreement and I completed my part of the deal . I don't give a jack s.h.i.t whenever I can prove it or not!" .

He laid his back on the chair and said "In my books, we never had that agreement, so technically you are still a slave" . I said to him "Do you have a proof of me being a slave?" . I wanted to test out what he is going to do . His face went a bit more grim this time and said "If you are capable then you can leave" . I said to him "Bulls.h.i.t! Now you are threatening me! You helped me and I worked for you . That is that!" I got up from the chair and walked towards the door .

I could then hear the sound of movement from behind me and I was. .h.i.t in the head, hard . I could've easily evade that . Thanks to my training and his behaviour pattern, I was able to predict what he is going to do and how this would play out . Even the way he attacked although I didn't see it, I knew he attacked with a bare hand .

But I didn't evade it nor did I retaliate . I still had something to take care of in this village and therefore I needed to stay anyway . After Nick pa.s.ses away, I will be done with this village . They would probably ask me to do more tasks for them but I wouldn't do so . First of all I didn't have to and so what if they didn't give me food? I could catch fishes by myself and no one in this village besides Nick was a thread to me anymore .

I would have more time to practice all the skills . How are they going to force me to work? If not by food . They can also take away the house I wouldn't care . I slept rough on the streets before and besides, Nick would provide more food for me . If they really pushed me too far, I would just deal with them . I wasn't naive like before . I also killed someone already . Although it was her wish, I still killed someone . I never had any nightmares about it and If they push too far, I wouldn't even bat an eye when the whole village was in ruins!

When I got hit, I faked being fainted . It wasn't hard to fake because fainted people still breathe, they just do it more slowly . I faked this process but I was still very conscious . I learned to be patient and so I just laid there doing nothing .

I then heard the guy that escorted me said "What should we do with him?" to which I could hear Rand's response "Don't worry he is not dead . We still need him for the work . Grond said that his skills in smithing aren't bad and he has good experience with purified steel ingots . He said that this kid can create 2 ingots in the time he is working at the workshop . Grond alone can create maximum 4 of them in a whole day" .

The guy I followed then said "What if he doesn't want to do it?" to which Rand responded "We won't feed him . If he wants food, he will have to work for it" . To which I almost sneered and laughed 'if that was your plan then good luck with it! HAHAHAHA' I laughed in my mind but stayed still on the ground . The guy said "You forget that he can catch fishes and provide for himself" . Rand cressed his brows and said "Then we just have to make it difficult for him" .

The guy said again "What if he still refuses to work? If he is bent down on it, the same can happen as with that slave woman" . When I heard this I was a bit enraged 'These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds not only hurt her, they even drove her to wishing for her death!' . I knew what he ment . He was afraid I would just kill myself or die of starvation .

Rand shouted "I told you to not mention this anymore! If she broke down, maybe she would release some information about the manual . These idiots just had to **** her . I don't care if they did but this idiot killed her because she wanted it" . I somehow managed to hold in that remark . They both went silent for a while .

After contemplating on what to do for some time, Rand finally said "We will offer him to work at the blacksmith's workshop . He will not be a slave but he will have to stay in the village and we will pay him as well . We will set the low wages for him and deduce for housing and food . We still have to give him something so that he doesn't feel like he does it for free . This should settle it, set 10 coppers a day for him as his wages and deduce 5 of that as housing and food" .

Rand shouted "I told you to not mention this anymore! If she broke down, maybe she would release some information about the manual . These idiots just had to **** her . I don't care if they did but this idiot killed her because she wanted it" . I somehow managed to hold in that remark . They both went silent for a while .

We still have to give him something so that he doesn't feel like he does it for free . This should settle it, set 10 coppers a day for him as his wages and deduce 5 of that as housing and food" .

I'd say, their plan was not bad and I was tempted because I still needed to stay in the village and if my work was only in one place, for example in blacksmith's workshop I could use that to my advantage as well . I still needed weapon and If I could get some materials, I would be able to produce something thanks to the tools already available there .

Rand continued "When he wakes up, present to him this offer . Stress it out that he will not be a slave and he will work for money . Tell him that his daily quota will be to complete 3 purified steel ingots . Even if we feed him and give him that house, which is abandoned anyway . 5 coppers a day means nothing compared to 3 ingots more of purified steel" .

The guy said "Alright . I will take him to the house and wait for him to wake up . Just in case he doesn't accept, what should I do?" . Rand just sighted and said "then he is not needed, do whatever you want with him" .

After that, the guy I followed in here picked me up from the floor and carried me to my house . When we arrived, he threw me at the bed and just stood next to the door waiting . I thought to myself 'I can play this game, if you want to wait, you will wait' and so the game started .
