"OK," Atticus mumbled as he folded the poster and gave it to one of the slaves behind him."Tell me, kid, what is your name?" Atticus asked with his eyebrows slightly raised."My name is Wavy," he answered."Alright Wavy, I need your help urgently. I know that you are just coming out of the academy and probably heading home, but I need you to go back into the academy and call the dean for me or tell him someone wants to have a word with him. Can you do that for me?" Atticus inquired calmly."Of course, sir, but who do I tell that the dean is looking for him?" Wavy asked, raising an eyebrow, as he didn’t know who Atticus was or why he wanted to see the dean."Tell the dean that Atticus, the lord of the 16th, wants to see him and that I have a proposal for him," Atticus responded swiftly."OK, give me a few minutes, and I will go and inform the dean," Wavy said as he turned around and went into the academy.This is great; since he didn’t know who Hudson was, at least the dean would know
This is it. I was able to convince the dean with my story; now I just have to get the information I need from this teacher that the dean talked about. It's a good thing my slaves have been trained not to speak until I ask them to; if not, it wouldn’t have gone smoothly with the dean. I have gone through a lot just to find Hudson; I hope this teacher that is coming to see us will have the information I need, Atticus thought.***Meanwhile, inside Ajax’s office, He was sitting on a stool behind a large desk when he heard a knock on his office door."Ajax, it’s me; are you in there?" Agatos asked from outside the office."Yes, sir, come in," Ajax answered. The dean opened the door and went in as he stood next to Ajax."There is a man out there that wants to speak with you; he wants to ask you about Hudson," Agatos said calmly. Ajax’s eyes opened wide. He wants to ask about Ajax, what? Who is it? I hope it is not Atticus that is looking for Hudson, Ajax wondered."What? About Hudson? Who
so anytime Hudson decides to come to the school, one of you should come back to the shop and tell me about his arrival. I don’t care how long it is going to take for Hudson to come, but you guys are going to carry out the task I asked," Atticus explained, staring at the slaves in front of him."Balthasar, you are going to come back to the shop with me as you are going to be needed there the most, plus Hudson might recognize your face once he sees you," Atticus said as he shifted his gaze to look at Balthasar."Yes, master, you are right," Balthasar replied."Alright, I think we should rest here for a while, and then we can head back to the shop," Atticus said softly.************Later in the evening, at the motel that Hudson was staying at,He was laying on his bed and staring at the ceiling, bored and tired of staying inside the motel room all day.Is this how I am going to spend the rest of my two days in this motel room? There is nothing fun to do here; I should have brought some
****Hudson was walking down the street with his face covered; he could only see through a small opening. He looked for a dark, empty corner when, finally, he saw one at his left-hand side. He rushed into the corner and waited for the transmission. Suddenly a white glass window opened in front of him. He then removed the towel he had tied around his face and went into the window. He then saw that he was in a dark alley in the modern world.He felt a huge relief as he saw that he was now in the modern world. I am glad I am back home; I know Atticus is still looking for me, but for now, I need to enjoy my escape, he thought as he walked out of the alley.****Hudson arrived in front of their apartment door. He knocked on the door, and suddenly his mom opened the door. As soon as she saw him, a bright smile curled across her lips as she hugged him tightly."I am glad you are back home; I have missed you a lot," she said as they broke the hug and went into the house.Hudson removed the he
[Reward: 400 gold coins][You will be transported into the magical world in the next 144 hours] After that, the screen disappeared.Hudson’s eyes were wide open as he read everything that was on the white screen in front of him. He never thought that the system would issue the fourth mission so soon since he just came back from the magic world."Oh my gosh, my fourth mission; this means that I am going to be transported back into the magical world in the next 6 days, and I will have to face Atticus then no matter what. I will have to start preparing, and I will also buy items that I would have to sell in the magical world after the whole mission is over," Hudson mumbled to himself as he switched off the television and stood up from the couch.He arrived inside his bedroom as he picked up the backpack that was on the shelf next to his bed. He sat down behind his desktop computer as he dropped the bag on the ground next to him. He started pondering ways he was going to protect himself a
"Select the one that feels right to you," the man said with a weird smile. Hudson looked at all the guns, but the 9-millimeter pistol that was among the guns caught his attention, so he picked that one up."I want this one," he said as he showed the pistol to the man."Great choice; I will pack it up, and you can go and commence with the registration process later," the man replied as he collected the gun from his hand.This is one problem down; I now have the gun that I can use for my protection against Atticus when I am in the magical world, he thought.**********Four days later,Hudson and his mom were sitting opposite each other on the couches in the living room. Hudson’s backpack was on the floor next to his leg."Today is the day that you are going to be transported into the magical world for your fourth mission, right?" Tricia inquired, raising an eyebrow."Yes, mom, I’m waiting for the system to give me the countdown limit until I’m going to be transported into the magical wo
"Of course I would come back; you said it yourself; I can’t run from Atticus as far as I was still going to come back into the magical world, so I was eventually going to come back, plus I have a mission that I would like you to help me with," Hudson explained calmly.They both sat down behind the huge table that was in the middle of the office as they faced each other."Tell me, what is your mission this time?" Ajax inquired with his eyebrow slightly raised.Hudson started explaining to him how the system wanted him to sell five daggers to five level 10 magicians.After a couple of minutes, "I don’t think that is going to be very hard; we have a couple of level 10 magicians here in the academy; you would just have to convince them to buy it," Ajax said calmly, staring at Hudson."How do I go about that, and do you think it is going to be easy to get them to buy the daggers from me?" Hudson inquired. From the way Ajax was looking at him, he was getting the idea that Ajax doesn’t know
"Alright, I understand you. Why don’t we make a wager instead, huh? Because I am not going to stop trying to get what I need from you no matter what," Atticus said calmly, staring at Hudson."A wager? And what might that be?" Hudson inquired with his eyebrow slightly raised. He was curious to know what Atticus wanted to wager, as he was happy that Ajax had put him in his place with the threat he made."Let’s have a duel to death, and anybody that wins takes it all; if you win and kill me, you take ownership of my shop, and if Iwin,n you give me the secret of how you manufacture the lighters and candles and the ones you have. And of course, before the duel starts, I will drop my shop keys and ownership transfer papers to your name on the ground, and you will also drop the secret of how you manufacture those products and the samples you have on the ground. What do you think about the wager?" Atticus explained calmly, staring at Hudson and Atticus."And what if I don’t agree to this wage
