[Slave Contract]: Using a magic contract it turns those who sign this contract into slaves, while the maker of the contract can have total control over the person. The contract is made by establishing rules over the contract and the person who signs this contract can not disobey those rules.
When Gabriel read this about the contract using [Appraisal] he suddenly felt a surge of rage.
This was the first time he was a little relaxed and if he hadn't felt that something was wrong and checked using his skills he would have fallen to this person's trick.
The store owner saw that Gabriel was about to sign the paper but then he stopped suddenly, so he asked "Is everything okay?"
Gabriel turned to the store owner and looked straight into his eyes, and the moment that Gabriel looked at his eyes the store owner felt a sudden chill behind his back.
"Something is wrong." Thought the Store owner when he suddenly heard Gabriel talking.
"I was hesitating before but with this all hesitation disappeared, Kate do it."
"Yes." With Gabriel's confirmation, Kate raised her arm towards the store owner.
"What are you doing? You can't do anything here, this is the Black Market. You don't want to be targeted by the Black Market." Said the store owner and even threatened Gabriel and Kate.
But Kate and Gabriel were unfaced, after pointing her arm towards the store owner Kate said " Be Judge."
The moment that this world came out of Kate, her eyes turned golden and a chain appeared out of thin air and tided up the store owner, after being tide up by the chain Kate got closer to the store owner and after there was a certain distance between her and the store owner she stopped. Then a balance appeared in the center of Kate and the store owner.
The store owner turned golden like Kate, and then he was levitated a little. The balance then started to move a little, at first it moved more toward one side and stayed there until the balance moved again toward the opposite side.
This time the balance was weighing more on the opposite side and not even once did it move again, it was after some time that the store owner returned to normal and he was dropped down to the floor then the balance returned to a middle ground.
Kate then looked at the store owner and with a majestic voice and almost divine told the store owner his verdict while pointing at him "Graig Catron, you have been judged to be a sinner. You shall face punishment for your sins by being stripped of every wealth you own as you did to others."
The moment that Kate said this all the valuables inside the office started to disappear one by one.
"NO! You can't do this to me! That's everything I worked for!" The store owner Graig started yelling hysterically.
Kate continues "Your Business talent shall disappear just like you have destroyed the talent of others."
The moment Kate said this a golden light shone on Graig, and he suddenly felt that something inside him broke and disappeared.
"No! Do you know who you are dealing with? I work for the Crimson Serpent they will never let you off, NEVER!" Said Graig with madness.
Kate then continues once again "And lastly your vision shall never see the light again just like you have taken the light of others."
The moment that Kate said this a golden light again appeared, and this time it shone on Craig's eyes.
"Ahh! My eyes burns. What are you doing? Stop! I said stop!" Graig started to yell to the top of his lungs that even blood started to come out of his mouth.
The golden light disappeared after a few seconds, and Graig couldn't feel pain.
"Uff uff uff" Panted Graig.
"Why can't I see? WHY CAN'T I SEE?" Graig at this point was hysterical, not even one piece of reason could go through his mind.
"Yes, this has to be a dream. A dream." Said Graig while laying down on the floor.
"I need to wake up. I have work to do so I need to wake up." Graig kept going.
"Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up." Graig continues with his delirium.
After imparting Graig's judgment the golden light on Kate's eyes disappeared while a new book appeared on her hands.
Kate then stumbled a little but then Gabriel caught her.
"You're going to feel a little weak because you don't have much Mana at the moment, but with time you'll feel better." Said Gabriel while helping Kate to stand up.
"Thank you." Kate thanked Gabriel for catching her.
"Look. This is what I receive as a reward for judging Graig." Kate then gave the book that she received from her talent to Gabriel.
The book was a little thin and it didn't have any cover letters or titles but the overall look of the book makes appear as something that has a history because of its age corners.
"Let me see what it is." Gabriel then grabbed the book and used [Appraisal] on it.
[Martial Arts]: Stellar Breathing
[Description]: By channeling energy into the specific path one can turn their energy type into the properties of the stars. The stars' properties enable the energy to perform healing, dispelling, heat generation, and evil energy repelance. At the same time, it comes with stealth skills like how the sun hides at night.
The moment that Gabriel read the description of [Appraisal] for the book, he couldn't help but get excited. This book is almost like the martial arts of the novel about the Murim world that he used to read in his past life.
"This is good, really good!" Gabriel said to Kate he then handed the book back to Kate.
"Here, you need to learn the content of this book." Gabriel then stuffs the book back into Kate's arm.
"Why give it to me? That book could be useful for you." Kate was perplexed at Gabriel's action now.
"Yes, that book would be useful to me but this book belongs to you and I feel like it fits you well. That's why you need to learn it." Gabriel said without batting an eye.
Kate felt grateful because this book was given as a reward by her talent she already knew what the book was about that's why she decided to give it to him so that Gabriel could still help her in looking for her mother.
"What are you waiting for? Start learning it. I'll watch your back." Gabriel urges Kate to learn it.
Because the book's attribute was stars if Kate practiced now when is night and the presence of the stars is stronger she would receive a great boost when practicing.
"Alright!" Kate then sat cross-legged and started to practice the breathing method.
Every Breath she took the Mana around her started to be pulled towards her almost forming a vacuum. This sight surprised Gabriel even more.
"I knew that she was talented but to be this talented!" Thought Gabriel while he saw how the mana around 10 meters started to get thinner and thinner.
When Gabriel read the description of Kate's talent he knew that her talent wasn't just a judge and rewards you with whatever, he knew that whatever Kate's talent rewarded her would be something that benefits her immensely.
That's one of the reasons why he rejected the book even though Kate gave it to him, the second reason was that he didn't know that type of book when he could just simulate a world similar to the Murim and get thousands of similar books.
Gabriel waited for Kate to finish circulating her energy with the stellar breathing method, he still needed to know what happened with all the assets and valuables from Graig.At the same time, he needed to free the slaves from their cells, he wanted to use Kate's new energy properties to heal all the injured.
After about 20 minutes Kate finished circulating her energy so she stood up.
"Done. I recover most of my Mana, if I do it for longer I can recover completely and even increase the amount of mana I have." Said Kate after feeling her mana core.
"That's good. Now let's go and free the rest of the slaves." Gabriel approached the door and headed towards the hallway where the slaves were kept.
Kate follows silently behind Gabriel, while going towards where all the slaves are, Gabriel decides to ask Kate about the assets from Graig.
"Kate, What happened with all the assets from Graig after being confiscated by you?" Gabriel then opens the door where the slaves are kept.
"all the assets that Graig had stolen from others were returned to their owners and the rest that were earned legitimately are kept in an independent space by my talent." Kate said while looking a little bad after seeing once again the shape of the slaves.
This made her worry because her mother may be in the same shape or worse than all of them. Gabriel seeing her worried face just patted her back.
"Don't worry your. We'll find your mother and rescue her, just be patient." Hearing Gabriel Kate nodded while she resolved herself into doing everything she could for Gabriel.
After reassuring Kate Gabriel then turned to look at all the slaves in here and with a loud voice amplified with aura, he called out to them.
"Everyone I need your attention!" Revervete Gabriel's voice into the hallway.
Hearing this voice all slaves suddenly looked at where the voice came from, some did it because they were afraid of what would happen if they didn't and some just did it because they were curious as to why they were being called for attention.
Seeing that all the slaves were paying attention to him, Grabriel nodded and continued amplifying his voice with aura.
"You all may be wondering, who am I? Why am I here?" Gabriel started then to look at some of the slave's eyes that he could see.
"Well, that's easy to say, first why am I here? Simply, I am here to free every single one of you." When Gabriel said this some slaves couldn't help but exclaim.
Gabriel expected this, normally people wouldn't care if they were slaves much less would take the bother of freeing them. After all the slave force was convenient for most people.
"You may be confused as to why I'm freeing you and some may be even wondering if I am tricking you."
"But don't worry, I sincerely want to free all of you because if don't console the slavery system that some places accept." Gabriel then pauses a little.
"If you don't trust me now at least trust the fact that your slave mark has disappeared." When Gabriel said this almost all the slaves immediately looked at the slave marks that they had and when they saw that they had disappeared some couldn't help but cry of joy.
"And even if you still don't trust me don't worry because after we free you from these cages you all can walk out and leave for yourself." Gabriel then proceeded to head to the first cell.
Using aura on his arm, Gabriel destroyed the lock of the cell with a yank of his arm after that, he asked Kate to heal the injured among the slaves.
"Kate use the properties of your mana to heal the injured and don't worry I will help but on the process." Gabriel then put his arm behind Kate's back and transferred Aura to Kate enhancing even more the properties of her mana.
"This should last you for an hour, just expose the injury to your mana. That would do the trick for healing them, after all, injecting them with mana can not only tire you faster it can also even kill them because of mana poisoning." Hearing this Kate's face got serious and assured Gabriel that she understood.
"Alright, I'll be careful." Kate then concentrated on exposing the injured slaves to her mana, but rotating the mana around her hands.
After that, Gabriel then proceeded to open the cells one by one and then direct the injured towards Kate so that she could heal them.
"If you are injured ask for the person next to you to for a line on that place. The person there will heal you."
