"So where is the merchandise?" I asked the butler as he sat in front of me while the driver started driving the wagon.
The butler adjusted his glasses and replied, "It's hidden in a compartment beneath your seat, Master Lucas. We've ensured it's well concealed and secure."I nodded, glancing down to where the butler indicated. "And the route is clear?"
"Yes, Master. We have taken every precaution to avoid any encounters with the patrols," the butler assured.
"Good," I said, leaning back in my seat. "Let's get this over with quickly."
"You know, you could have kept it in a dimensional ring," I told him."Sir, that would have been a problem, as they always check the rings when we enter a city," replied the butler, a man in his twenties.
"You could have asked to keep it in my ring," I said, pointing to the rings I wore on my left hand,silver shining like gemstones."Sir, I'm sure you would have denied it."
I smiled. "You're right about that. The stuff you're delivering is laboratory-made. I prefer things made by Mother Nature."The butler nodded.
As I looked outside, I asked, "Hey, where are we going?"
The butler, a bit surprised, responded, "Didn't Lord Otis tell you?"I admitted my mistake. "No, I didn't ask, nor did he tell me."
The butler nodded. "Sir, we are going to Valden City."I nodded, then asked, "Is there a black market there?"
The butler inquired, "Does the young master wish to buy something?"
"Not particularly, just want to see if they have anything good," I replied.
After a night of traveling through the dark roads of Dicathen, we reached Valden City, located just beside Xyrus City on the map. The wagon slowed as we approached the city gates, the first light of dawn just beginning to break over the horizon.
The city was still and quiet, a stark contrast to the bustling activity that would soon fill its streets.
And then we came to our first encounter with the guards. The driver tried to talk his way out, but it looked like the guard was a new recruit. I pulled my head out and shouted, gaining the attention of all the guards in the vicinity, "Who the fuck stops the Wagon of Wykes!"
The guard trembled with fear, realizing too late that there was a noble inside. "Sorry, Sir," he stammered.
I let some of my bloodlust seep out, making the guards feel as if they were suffocating. "I give you 10 seconds. If this wagon isn't moving by then, I'll have the head of all of you."
It wasn't even a second after that before the wagon started moving. The guards bowed their heads as the wagon passed them, their faces pale with fear.
"The first task is complete. Next, Xavier," I mused, looking out the window at the quiet city. It was early, and there wasn't much activity, just a few people here and there.
The butler, as if remembering something, asked, "Young Master, aren't you going to change your appearance?"
"Why? Is there a need for changing?" I asked, looking at him.
"Young Master, didn't Lord tell you about this?" he asked. I shook my head in denial.
"Young Master, you are supposed to be the representative of the Wykes family. Aren't you going to change your clothes to something more noble-like?"
I looked at him facepalming my self and continued, "So, it's the clothes? Don't worry, these are good. I just want to finish this up real quick."The butler looked confused. "What were you told?"
"We were told to deliver you to the Xavier estate as you are the Wykes representative."
"Then do that," I said, shutting him off.

"Stay near the front gate I'll come out from there," I told the butler as I walked down from the cart, summoning a black face mask to cover my mouth and nose.
I rolled up the sleeves of my black shirt, my veins bulging out. My coat was in the wagon since it would be hard to move while wearing it.
Standing at the backside of the mansion, I turned to gesture the wagon to move to the front.
I couldn't use my katana; I didn't want to start a chain reaction. Let's just go random, shall we? I closed my eyes and summoned a random weapon from my ring.
It was a one-handed axe. I slashed it through the air to check its movement and was satisfied.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing there?" a guard called out, standing up on the post near the wall.I looked up, my eyes turning black with runes appearing around my left arm. Time to test our beast will.
