Mr Koin began “Now ,It's time for the Rootox herb. We will start taking biddings for now.” he announced with a grin on his face Andrew's heart skipped at the mention of the rootox herb ,he couldn't believe his ears . The same herb he believed had gone extinct ? Andrew thought, his face enveloping into a smile . This had just made his day ,and he couldn't wait to lay his hands on the herb “Before we commence ,this is additional information ,as usual everyone present in this room knows the rules . Any herb that isn't available physically,we bid for the location instead” Mr Koin said and Andrew heaved a sigh , he had hoped it was the herb itself and not the location ,but regardless ,it was still the same . Now he knew it hadn't gone extinct , he'd do whatever it took to lay his hands on that herb . The room was dead silent as everyone's gaze remained glued to the figure standing on the stage,waiting for a go ahead order to start the bidding . “ Now ,shall we begin?” Mr Koi

The room suddenly erupted with laughter after several minutes of silence. It started from an old man who couldn't believe Andrew had just spoken and soon it spread all over the room, even the group of reserved men were laughing at Andrew for no reason. “Who does this young chap think he is? Some sort of prankster or excellent joker? Boy, if you don't get the hell out of this room and let real men pay for their herbs.” The man who laughed first commented but Andrew ignored him and stared at Mr Koin who was still in disbelief. “S..sir, are you sure you mentioned the right price?” Mr Koin stuttered, still in shock and disbelief. “ Of course the boy has no idea what he's saying. Young man, you must think this is child's play but it's not. The men here are men who hold keys to several places in the world that your wretched ass can never dream of, so quit dreaming and take this last chance to exit this room.” Another man spoke but Andrew remained undeterred. At this point, he not

“I'll be setting a task and whoever wins will leave with the location of the Rootox .” Mr Koin declared before turning to face Andrew. “Your money will be refunded if you lose but you have to partake in the competition first.” He said and Andrew nodded. He beckoned to one of his workers and soon, he walked in with a computer. The men in the room watched with rapt attention as the herb master proceeded to give the rules and details of the competition. From their looks, one could tell that they'd lost interest in bidding for any other herb, instead, all they wanted was to watch who would win the Rootox. “Now, this computer belongs to one of my old masters who had certain confidential and important messages stored in it . However, the computer was attacked by a bug one day and ever since, every computer expert, I mean the best in the field have tried to fix the bug but nothing they did has proved to work. This bug has been on this computer for years and I can assure you that

The next day, Andrew set off for his journey to the location he'd gotten last night after his win against the five formidable men at the clubhouse. Nita town. While watching Benita sleep the previous night, he spent his time trying to find out as much as he could about Nita town. He wasn't surprised by what he saw but was only thrown off by the circumstances surrounding it. According to the research papers he had read , the Nita town was once one of the biggest, richest and most powerful of all the four towns that made up the Nashville city. They had the best of everything. In battles, they were unbeatable, their army was a group of indomitable people who were determined to crush whoever went against their precious town. They had fertile lands that could make anything grow, they planted the best of food resources and often made great harvest when it was time. These food plants were sold to other towns and thus they generated revenue for their town without borrowing fr

“This next phase is one that would require you to show us a display of a skill that makes you confident that you'd beat the dragon beast. This doesn't mean that you won't qualify to beat the beast , we just want to make sure you have what it takes to fight the beast . So show us your best skills” Mr Amapolo told the men who listened keenly. Andrew glanced at the two men, standing beside him and saw that they were excited to show off their skills before everyone present. Mr Amapolo stepped back to let the men display their skills. “I'll definitely beat the beast. This is an easy win for me.” The first man laughed loudly while preparing his fortification. The people present watched him with clear admiration and hope in their eyes. He walked to the center of the ground and suddenly closed his eyes shut without moving. Everywhere became filled with silence as they all watched with rapt attention. Before anyone could say anything, multiple versions of the man emerged and the p
