Chapter 23 - 23

toor the next two months, abhay or anyone else didn't left the base. The reason for this is quite obvious.

First came those three powerful guys, then they left and sent their subordinates. When their subordinates arrived,they were all stunned.

According to the report, only the people were killed. Everything was intact, houses,shops, but now everything was empty.

Not everything as there were still many houses intact but pretty much everything valuable was gone. They reported this to their bosses.

The three guys came back again and their reaction was quite similar to their subordinates.

They turned the town upside down but still didn't found anything.

After searching day and night for two days along with subordinates, they left helplessly. They can't leave the base for too long.

The rest of the people left as well. Some were left behind to stand guard and report if they find anything.

***

For these two months, abhay followed a routine life. In the beginning,he used to keep an eye on those guards everyday. But then he got bored.

Now his schedule was fixed.

Waking up to Tama's early morning service. He'll then read some books for three to four hours. His book stash was too big now. Even though many books were repetitive, he still read them not wanting to waste anything. And it increases exp as well, even though only by little.

Then after eating, he'll go to the martial arts room. It was the biggest hall in here so he made it. He'll spend some time sparring with warrior type subordinates. And then practice his own martial arts.

Because of his ability to use any human class related skill , he was capable of learning pretty much everything.

He got so many books, many of them about different martial arts, weapon and non weapon.

Rather than learning one and refining it, he was practicing all off them initially.

His plan as to be able to master basics of everything.

The reason, Elena's chain quest

After he hypnotized Elena and used memory steal on her, the first step of the quest was completed. The second step was to head to a place Elena has gone before.

Inside that place lies a formation. If he activates that formation, he'll receive his reward, the map.

According to Elena's memory, she was kidnapped when she was very young. The cave those kidnappers took her was the same mentioned.

She accidentally activated the formation and received the map. After her father's men rescued her, she asked them to bring her to the place marked in the map.

After she went there, she received an inheritance. Inheritance of some old guy who called himself jack of all trades.

She was given a choice to choose which inheritance she wanted. Young and naive, she chose magic. Not a bad choice, but there should have been many better than that.

But what happened after that was quite exhilarating. Her memory of the formation and inheritance was erased along with the people she went there with.

Memory steal worked. Yup it did.

So basically she have a magic inheritance, she's just not aware of it.

But now abhay found a loophole, since he will not forget all this means he can get all his subordinates an inheritance.

Inheritance is just memory and experience. Everyone can get this.

As long as you have a little affinity with it, u can get the inheritance. You can't just pick anything.

This is the reason abhay is learning all of them right now so when he go for it, he have a wider range to choose from.

After taking a bath, he'll check if anything happened outside. He'll then spar with his subordinates to gain battle experience.

And his evening and nights are very busy.

This cycle has been repeating for the past two months.

But on this particular day, abhay noticed something.

These guards stationed here were packing their things up. He changed the view to a group.

"Hurry up. We have to leave quickly".

" Yes sir".

'Hmmm.

They're finally leaving. '

"Bob".

" Yes?"

"I'll be leaving soon. I have already prepared your next steps. Listen carefully...".

***

Outside the gates of mark city stood abhay with Bob in tow.

Same plans, different approach.

This time, without having any distracting thoughts, abhay's plan was quite same. Find a safehouse? Impossible . Mark city is not like the small ralph town where such a big place can be hidden for so long. Forget about big even small places that are hidden are all occupied by factions.

So this time plan was quite same as well.

He'll buy slaves, and they'll all go to ralph town. Why abandon such a great place. That place is hidden by the system so it's nearly undetectable. It has a surveillance system. It's already so big and it can be extended even further.

As for other things, he'll think about them later.

'For the day, I have to buy slaves and all the necessary things with Bob. Only food, Equipments and clothes, we already have a lot. We did clean up nearly half of a city.

Food is also not a problem for now no matter how many slaves we acquire. But I'm planning to completely seal of the base for now. No one leaves for the time being.

I will go to look for the inheritance tomorrow. Let's wrap up my slave business'.

***

And just like that abhay spent a hefty sum of money and bought all the slaves in the city. Yup, all of them.

Such a big deal will obviously attract the attention of many people but not if you have memory alter.

These slave traders are all merchants with no combat piwers to speak of.

Once you say you have a big order and want to talk alone, they'll agree. There guards will be outside the door to protect them if something happens but what can they do if it's not an attack.

When the guards left, abhay simply used hypnosis along with memory alter.

They were all put under light hypnosis.

He didn't rob them and paid them full. But because there was no one to talk about it, his purchase remained secret.

He found out about a secret passage that leaves the city without alerting the guards.

"Bob. Buy as much food as you can, wait for nightfall then leave through this secret passage".

" Yes,boss".
