Chapter 23 - The arrival

Ashhad woke up at 9am in the morning, the others were still fast asleep so Ashhad quietly got out of bed without disturbing Humzah and went to the bathroom, sure their were no toilets but still a person could wash his face and arms on the sink, and after doing just that Ashhad walked out of the bathroom, he made his way to the kitchen only to remember that their was no food as they had moved in yesterday, a disappointed Ashhad came out of the kitchen his tummy still grumbling from hunger, that was when Ashhad got an idea he went out of the house and began asking the locals if they could sell him some food thankfully the people of Ortania were very generous and in less than 200 emeralds Ashhad had bought 2 dozens of eggs, a good amount of bread, jelly, butter, milk, some cooking oil, ghee, sugar, tea leaves and more with these edibles Ashhad could now prepare a delicious breakfast and even have plenty left for his friends, after a wonderful eggs and toast breakfast with some hot tea, Ashhad at 9:40am left for the Ortania Bardonia border he arrived at around 9:55 after waiting for 5 minutes at exactly 10am a silhouette of a man became visible in the distance as the man got closer Ashhad saw more of him, well combed black hairs he was clean shaved and similar to everyone on the server wore virtual clothes as he got even closer Ashhad saw his red eyes, their was a scar on his left eye and he looked really badass as he approached Ashhad and said

Zulqarnain : greetings brother my name is Syed Zulqarnain Abbas and your's?

as he brought his hand forward for a handshake Ashhad shook his hand, his skin was hard as a rock and then replied

Ashhad : my name is Mohammad Ashhad Khan, its a pleasure to meet you Mr Zulqarnain.

Zulqarnain smiled and while looking at the houses in the distance said

Zulqarnain : oh my beautiful town, how I missed you all this time.

Zulqarnain looked back at Ashhad and said

Zulqarnain : let's go I want to meet my students they'll be so happy to see me.

as the two began walking towards Ashhad's home while on their way Zulqarnain said whilst looking at the townsfolk

Zulqarnain : it's so good to be back.

Ashhad : like they say " east or west home is the best ".

Zulqarnain : the job of a spy may sound fun at first but it is only when you start working that you realize how difficult it is not only do you have to get used to living in a foreign environment but the constant threat that if you get caught you will be killed makes it even worse.

Ashhad : to which country were you sent to spy on?

Zulqarnain : all of them, I travelled country to country gathering Intel about their military and economy as well as sabotaging foreign assets whenever I got the chance.

Ashhad : and you never got caught?

Zulqarnain : nope no one suspected a thing.

Ashhad : you must be really famous?

Zulqarnain : I am known across the world as Zulqarnain the menace.

Ashhad was amazed by Zulqarnain as he continued speaking

Zulqarnain : I was a professional cook, sports athlete, teacher and spy.

Ashhad : quiet the career.

Zulqarnain : oh and back on earth I was a renowned Zoologist.

Ashhad : amazing I'm impressed.

Zulqarnain : you sound a lot like my students, they to would get impressed by my achievements and capabilities.

Ashhad : what did you teach?

Zulqarnain : combat both defensive and offensive, by the way I forgot to ask who sent you to pick me up?

Ashhad : your student Basit.

Zulqarnain : as expected he was my favorite student.

Ashhad : no wonder he was so good at combat.

Zulqarnain : of my 4 students he is my favorite.

Ashhad : who were the other 3?

Zulqarnain : Hussnain Zafar a passionate yet tortured soul, Huzaifa a brave warrior and finally my friend and student Meer Ahad Ali.

Ashhad though not wanting to, decided to inform Zulqarnain about Basit's death

Ashhad : I have a bad news for you.

Zulqarnain : what?

Ashhad replied with a sad face

Ashhad : two of your students have died.

Zulqarnain froze in his place upon hearing the news as he asked in sad and angry tone

Zulqarnain : who?

Ashhad : Basit and Huzaifa.

Zulqarnain : who did it?!

Ashhad : the Bardonians.

an angry Zulqarnain screamed

Zulqarnain : FUCK YOU BARDONIA!!!!

hearing this Ashhad calmed him down and said

Ashhad : we cannot change fate sir, the only thing we can do now is get even stronger and defeat those Bardonians once and for all.

Zulqarnain said whilst looking back at the border which was beginning to look very far away from them

Zulqarnain : that day isn't far.

Ashhad : my house is just a mile away come on.

they kept on walking and soon arrived at Ashhad's house.
