Chapter 40 - 36. Debt

Sam : "I am very sorry for you have to go through because of my subordinate."

Commander shook his hands and said.

Commander : "It just trying to find a way of your safety, even if I have to take extreme measures. My verdict is that you are innocent. I will take care of those greedy people, just show me who they are and I will take care my castle too. The price will be little higher then market as compensation so don't worry of price and I didn't found any mana stone to money will be given to you as little batter then market price."

Sam : "I am very satisfied with this, thank you very much."

Commander : "It's my pleasure and another thing, do you want to work here?

Sam smiled politely and said.

Sam : "I have to decline for my tribe."

Commander signed because to him would be great addition for castle but he cannot keep him here because he do not want to stay here and his subordinates are very scary.

Commander : "Come out and tell me who were those."

Sam : "Sure."

Sam identified every single one he saw as corrupted official and got 25 gold coins from commander.

Outside of range of castle.

Sam looked at Aachariya with deep eyes and in return, Aachariya nodded his head.

Sam : "Then alright if no one is watching or tracking us or surveillance us."

Aachariya : "Your move was dangerous, young master."

Sam : "I know few things, first, I am young master and my other subordinate must be tougher then me so they have make move on me first; second, if I was in any problem you guys would have come to help me; and last one, since each and everyone of you hearing and watching me."

Aachariya : "Whatever you say young master, now we have 25 gold.

Kiddo : "I don't think 25 gold is enough in empire."

Sam : "I think so too, so Kelp go outside with Aachariya. And Aachariya take out weakest moon lizard to sell here. Now commander know power of kelp so its not so strange that you can hunt a magic warrior. It can bring us more gold."

TxT Boy : "Will it be wise young master?"

Sam : "Just don't carry it inside, Aachariya will go to commander and tell him that you guys hunted that moon lizard as you would be a space magician."

Aachariya : "Yes, young master."

Kelp just nodded and followed Aachariya.

Six hours later, they came back to town and took Sam to meet commander, as Sam was their representative.

Commander : "What bring you here, young master?"

Sam : "No need to be so courteous, Commander. I sent my subordinate to hunt some monster in depth of forest. And they came back with 2 monsters, I want to sell to you directly. A little of market price is alright as we can friends in future."

Commander : "That's depends on monster your subordinate hunted."

Sam : "Aachariya."

Aachariya took out two moon lizard from his space. It does not matter even if Sam said five moon lizard, after all of hunted moon lizard was in his space.

Commander's eyes popped out as he saw two of moon lizard. He could confirm that it was a moon lizard magic warrior and other one was strong warrior. Commander looked at Sam and said.

Commander : "Are you sure, you guys are just a little tribe. A magic warrior equal to A+-class mercenary and other is almost equal to him space magician. There is a kind of tamer too, are you sure of being little tribe.

Sam : "Yes we are, as we have only around 100 people in our tribe and if we would not be so powerful, we could have killed by monsters already don't you think?"

Commander : "But you are overpowered!!!"

Sam : "Whatever you say Commander. Now tell me the price of these two moon lizards."

Commander : "Call me Ryan, my name is Ryan."

Sam : "Thank you for accepting us friend, Ryan; Call me Sam as you already know."

Commander : "Then Sam it is. Sam I will give you some money more than mercenaries guild would offer you but the achievement of hunting these 2 moon lizards would be mine."

Sam : "As we made friends by selling moon lizards, I think its alright."

Commander : "Okay, I will buy these moon lizard at total price of 600 gold coins. Is it alright with you?"

Sam : "Thank you for your patronize."

Sam stood up, shook hand with Ryan, and left with 600 gold coins.

Sam and company again reached at same place where they had their meeting before. Sam looked at Aachariya and Aachariya nodded once more.

Sam : "Alright, 625 gold coin would be alright for a while. Let's enter into empire and with identities made by commander Ryan would work this time we will just pay money to enter and we will not pay money more than 10 gold for each head."

Sam and party paid 50 gold to enter teleportation to empire and 50 gold to enter empire. It was their first day and they end-up spending 100 gold coins by this alone they have less than 4 days to stay in empire.

Inside the inn

Sam looked at Aachariya to confirm and Aachariya said.

Aachariya : "This is not something we can confirm here."

Kiddo : "Don't worry young master no one give a D*mn about who is talking about what here until someone come and sit here with as how loud it is here."

Sam looked at kiddo for a while then said.

Sam : "Alright, Aachariya go and find daily routine of her. We will make our way to her when she is alone."

??? : "What we have here, some thief? What do you want to steal?"

Sam look behind and found and drunk soldier.

Sam : "Look bro, one of the nobles stole my steed and when I asked him why, he told me that its steed's good luck that that noble found her. So all I want to take her back from that noble. Since no one is helping me so I have to do it all by myself and my friends."

Soldier : "Do you need my help then?"

Sam : "Thank you for your kindness but I cannot put you in trouble."

Soldier : "I will foot my bill in your bill and when you need me, just come to me. I will help you."

Sam : "Then put your signature on paper as IOU and that will be enough."

Soldier was still shaking like vine in strong wind and said.

Soldier : "Just that bro no problem I will do that and if you have photostone take picture of our transaction."

Sam : "Brother, do you have one? I will buy it from you."

Soldier : "That will be great, take this."

Soldier : "5 gold as buddy price."

Sam : "…"

Soldier : "Its really buddy price."

Aachariya whispered to Sam.

Aachariya : "A photostone cost 2 gold here and we have some frame photostone from our territory. We can use those too."

Sam whispered back.

Sam : "Then use at this guy, since he has gall to scam me, a stranger without knowing him. He will pay back 10 times at least."

Sam turned to soldier and said.

Sam : "Since you are buddy and you are giving me buddy price then I will accept it. Whatever you drank today is on me."

Soldier waived at waitress and explained her that Sam will be paying for today's bill. After hearing, that waitress frowned and came to confirm if Sam really wanted to pay for this weird soldier.

Waitress : "Are you going to pay for this person?"

Sam : "Just today's bill as we met him just today."

??? : "Why don't pay for us too, we can be friends for longer than is untrustworthy soldier."

From behind many of customer roared.

Sam : "I have to decline you people as I don't think you are usable to me."

Then many of customers stood up and threaten Sam.

??? : "Look boy, I don't know where you came from but you better pay for us too everyday or we will send you home pieces."

Aachariya and was about standup but stopped by Sam.

Sam : "TxT Boy, I never seen you fighting. Can you show me some moves?"

TxT Boy : "As you wish, young master."

After what Sam said Aachariya, Kelp both sat down, and TxT Boy standup. When those guy saw him they laughed because physics of his. TxT Boy was slim and had very few muscle on him but he was half-demon so even if he looked lean, he pack a good punch. Others laughed and said.

??? : "You never seen your friend fighting because he cannot fight and that's all. HaHaHa."

But when leader of those people said these words he was punch in face so fast that no one able to see that and before people can react TxT Boy brought down every single one of them who standup in front of Sam.

Now soldier who realized that to whom he tried to scam and he was now shaking in fear rather than in drunken state. HE approached Sam and said.

Soldier : "Young master…"

Sam : "Don't worry I will pay your money for today's bill."

Then Sam looked at waitress who was not looking and backed away.

Sam : "How much I have to pay? For this person."

Waitress : "50 Gold, for today."

Sam looked at Soldier and said.

Sam : "Brother, You really drink too much. Think of your health man."

Soldier : "Y.. Young master the money…"

Sam raised his hand to stop soldier for talking then said seriously.

Sam : "Don't worry about money and photostone, just help me back when I found my mount and your debt will be paid."

Sam then stood up and left inn without listening what soldier has to say. And soldier was shaking under pressure of debt.
