As he looked around him he saw that he was standing inside a tight corner that was in between two buildings. The buildings were close to his shop.‘Finally let me quickly go drop this bag and then head over to Ajax’s place as soon as possible’ Hudson thought.He came out of the tight corner and walked toward his shop. As he approached the shop he saw that there was some type of field covering the entrance to his shop.His eyes opened wide. “What the hell is this!” He could clearly see that it was a magical field which must means that the spell was cast by someone. Hudson turned to look around him but saw no one in sight.He tried to walk through the field but was flung backwards in the air as he landed on his back. “Ahhh!” He screamed in a lot of pain.‘Who placed a force field around my shop!” He screamed.***Meanwhile under a tree that was about 10 feet away from Hudson’s shop. Athens and the guard were on the ground drinking water when they heard loud screams coming from a distant
“Your Majesty I went on a vacation for those days that I was not at the shop and most of my workers knows that I usually go on those types of holidays once in a while,” Hudson answered softly hoping that the king would understand his excuse.The king started stroking his chin. He thought that since Hudson went on a holiday somewhere in Magnitoz city at least he would have heard that they were looking for him.“Are you sure you went on a vacation?” Alexander asked curiously. He wanted to believe Hudson but he had to be thorough.“Your majesty pardon me, there is something I need to add!” Athens raised his hand from next to Hudson.“Go ahead,” Alexander permitted.“Your Majesty, if Hudson went on a vacation just like he said, he would have at-least heard that we were looking for him or better still not have spent as much days away as he did. Even when he came back to the shop, we didn’t see where he came from, it was like he sprung out of nowhere. I think he is lying to us,” Athens stat
Suddenly, a loud knock came from the dungeon’s door. "Open the door for me!" Athens screamed from outside. Hudson quickly recognized that it was Athens. ‘What is he doing here at this time?’ Hudson wondered. The door opened as Athens entered the dungeon with a tray containing food in his hands. He ambled over to where Hudson was as he dropped the tray on the ground and sat in front of him. "What are you doing here, and why are you bringing food for me?" Hudson asked rudely. He knew how Athens was instigating the king against him in the palace earlier. "You look pale, Hudson; are you not feeling hungry? We can’t just leave you here in this dungeon and not bring you food," Athens answered. "I know I need the food, but I didn’t expect you to bring food for me, not after everything you did in front of the king," Hudson said calmly. "And what exactly did I do in front of the king?" Athens asked softly. Hudson went quiet; he couldn’t say that Athens was trying to complicate matters for
Hudson was sitting on the ground of the dungeon with his hands chained to the ground. He was feeling a rush of different emotions flowing through his body. ‘Of course everything I said about the resort was a lie, and I don’t know how the king knows it’s a lie, but from just gazing into his eyes, I could tell that he knew it was a lie, but he still wants to investigate it and then take over all my shops. If he does that, I am sure my workers will realize that he has me locked up inside the palace. I hope Ajax realizes it too. Because I don’t see an easy way out of this and he is giving me two weeks before he poisons me to death, the time I have on my mission now is not even up to those two weeks. I will have to find a way to escape from this dungeon before then. I can’t afford to fail this mission and then be demoted down two missions, and I also need to find a way to get rid of this grip that the king now has on me. I don’t see any crime that I have committed against him that he would
He stood up and grabbed a jacket at the entrance of his house as he went out.***Ajax approached Hudson’s shop as he saw that three guards were standing in front of the shop. From their uniforms, he could tell that they belonged to King Alexander.Ajax wondered what the guards were doing in front of Hudson’s shop as he walked past it to get a clearer view of what was going on. He saw a royal seal in front of the shop that shows that the king is now the owner of the shop.‘What the hell is going on here? Why is the king claiming ownership over all Atonal franchises? Does this mean that he has killed Hudson? No, that can’t be; I don’t have to jump to conclusions; I will have to head over to a different Hudson’s shop and talk to one of his workers. Multiple thoughts ran through Ajax’s mind.Ajax quickly ran away from the shop area as he attempted to head over to one of Hudson’s nearby shop locations.***About an hour later, Ajax arrived in front of one of Hudson’s shops that had the si
Ajax's face-changing potion didn’t just change his face into a random face; it was the face of one of the top-ranked guards in the palace. The potion was designed to give him the face of anyone within a particular field that the drinker was thinking about, which in Ajax's case was a palace guard. So Ajax knew he had that to his advantage.Ajax noticed a group of guards that were all heading into the fortress. He saw that they were all carrying different items that seemed to look like food items as they were all going through the main gate. Ajax quickly snuck over to the carriage that had the food that the guards were grabbing, stood up, and picked up a bag of food that he had no idea what was inside. After that, he joined the line of guards as he slowly went into the palace.‘What is inside this bag? My best guess is wheat or rice; I don’t know, but that doesn’t matter; this must mean that all the guards that are carrying these bags are heading towards the palace food storage or kitch
"Can you climb down the rope?" He asked raising an eyebrow."I don’t know for sure; I am weak, but I will try my best," Hudson responded in a weak tone. From Hudson’s tone, Ajax felt that Hudson wouldn’t be able to do it, and he felt bad that Hudson was dehydrated. Ajax remembered a spell that would make him enchant water out of thin air. He told Hudson to quickly open up his mouth as he started waving hand signs and saying the enchantment words as water appeared out of thin air and splashed all over Hudson as some went into his mouth."Woah!" Hudson screamed with a lot of excitement; he almost doesn’t remember what it feels like to drink water."Be quiet, come; let’s quickly get out of here before anyone comes over," Ajax said softly. Hudson stood up as Ajax helped him go down the rope. They both landed on the ground as they looked around to see if any guards were in sight.Ajax tapped Hudson on the shoulder. "Make sure you follow behind me carefully; we need to get out of here quiet
***Hudson and Ajax were sitting in front of each other behind a table in a fancy restaurant. They just finished eating when Ajax called the waiter to come and clear the dishes as he paid for their food."How do you feel now after eating?" Ajax asked, staring at Hudson."I feel good; it has been a while since I ate a full meal like this," Hudson responded with a bright smile."So, tell me, how did you end up getting arrested by the king, and since when have you been in his custody?" Ajax inquired. He looked around the restaurant to make sure that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation."It’s a long story; I will try to summarize everything as quickly as I can," Hudson responded. He started narrating to Ajax how he got arrested when he came back from the modern world and was taken to the king. He narrated how the king questioned him to know where he had been for the past couple of days as they had been spying on him. After lying to the king multiple times about his whereabouts,
Ajax picked up the pen and dipped into the ink as he started composing the letter “Julius I caught a couple of your men in my territory they killed hundreds of my men and now they are all dead including the head Hercules. With all this information, I would like for you to pick inside one of the two options that I’m giving you. One is either you get ready for war in the next three days as me and my men will be invading your city, two is either you come to my palace tomorrow with 3,000,0000 gold coins and 500 of your men that are going to be working under my kingdom. There are no negotiations, if I don’t see you in my palace tomorrow, I’m going to assume that you picked war. Have a nice day,” Ajax ended the letter.After that, he sealed it up and gave it to the guard that was standing in front of him.“Your job is to deliver that letter to King Julius, after you give the letter to him, get out of there and head back straight away,” Ajax instructed. After that, he dismissed the guard.Hu
“Sounds perfect,” Ajax muttered.“Now I want you all to move back from the prisoners,” Ajax said in a rumbling tone as he stood up. Telling them to move back didn’t entail that they should leave the room. So, they understood his orders perfectly.Ajax came down from his throne and walked toward the men who were kneeling on the floor including Hercules.“Now, I can tell that you lots are not from this city, hence why none of you know magic and couldn’t even dress accordingly like a true Magnitoz citizen. That must mean that you all are from Human Valley, so, I would like for you all to help me understand who sent you here and why did you target my guards,” Ajax said in a rumbling tone as his voice echoed throughout the room.All the men were quiet, they were now four in number including Hercules. “Are none of you going to speak!” Ajax screamed with his eyebrows tightly pressed together. Hudson and the guards that were in the room were all quiet. They could sense how angry Ajax was.Aja
‘Oh my goodness, could it be Julius’s men behind these attacks? Does that mean that Julius is trying to start a war with me? I don’t think he would want to start a war though. I will have to give him the benefit of the doubt, if I catch one of those men tomorrow, I will interrogate him and get the information I want out of him. I will have to get to the bottom of all of this, Ajax thought.***Meanwhile, inside a large bush that was filled with a lot of men, they were the 50 trained men that Julius had deployed in Magnitoz city and their leader was a 35-year-old man named Hercules, he was about 7 feet tall and built with a lot of muscles. They had killed 23 of the men that Ajax sent to them and dumped their bodies in the river that was at the back of the bush. Hercules was told that two of the men escaped from them.“Listen up everyone!” Hercules screamed calling all their attention over to him.“Yes, commander!” They all answered in unison as they shifted their attention over to Herc
“You are right honey, this is what we are going to have to be doing now,” she replied with a smile. After that, Hudson told her goodbye as he ended the call. He sat down on the chair.***Later in the night,Hudson was lying on his bed; he was scrolling through his contact list as he saw Maddy’s contact and remembered that he hadn’t called her just like he promised her he would. Also, Hudson had an idea for a second date that he planned for when he got back from the magical world from his mission. He dialed her number and placed the phone on his ear. After a few rings, Maddy answered the call.“Hey Maddy, how are you doing?” He asked in a loving tone.“I’m doing fine and you?”“Fine, you know, I’m sorry I didn’t call you yesterday, I was occupied with a lot of things,” he said calmly.“Nah, don’t worry, it’s fine, I was also occupied with a lot of things,” she replied.“Cool, you know, I had a lot of fun time with you, and I have an idea for a second date, I don’t know if you would be
“I will do it, I will hang out with Maddy and go with the flow, I won’t think about secrets for now,” he said gazing into her eyes. Tricia let his head go as she stood up.“That’s good, just let everything flow for now,” she replied. She was happy that Hudson was going to lose up about the whole thing and let everything flow with Maddy.“I will be heading down to the dining table to set up dinner, I will call you when I’m done,” she said attempting to leave the room.“Okay Mom,” he muttered. After that, Tricia went out of the room.‘My mom must want me to get close to Maddy or even be dating her or she just wants to see me dating a woman or be happy, I don’t know which might be the case, but I am happy to oblige, I truly do like Maddy. I don’t know why I have never tried going on a date before, but I felt alive talking to Maddy today, and talking to a woman other than my mom is not that bad. I did feel a lot of sexual tension with her, even if I am still a virgin’ Hudson thought.As h
"Yes, I have been in love three times before and in three relationships overall. My last relationship ended five months ago; he was very toxic and abusive. It took a lot for me to get out of the relationship because I loved him a lot, but after I gathered the courage to leave him, since then I haven’t been able to get back into the dating pool as I had poured all my efforts and myself into my work. But I will say this: I am attracted to and interested in getting to know you," she stated calmly, staring into Hudson’s eyes.Hudson smiled upon hearing the last words she said. ‘I wish it were that easy for me to let her into my life; I wish it were that easy, but I am not sure she would be able to handle the truths that come with being in my life, and I am sure if she got to know the type of person I am, she wouldn’t want to stay or even believe what I actually do for a living’ Hudson thought."I am equally attracted to you and interested," he replied. ‘It’s not bad after all; I am glad m
***Hudson arrived in front of a fancy restaurant that had bright fancy lights all over the place. As he entered the restaurant, the sound of classic music hit him, and that was when he realized that the restaurant was not a regular restaurant. Hudson looked around and saw multiple people occupying the tables in the restaurant. He looked around to see if he could spot the description of the lady that his mom gave him and a lady that was sitting alone. Hudson spotted a table where a blonde woman was sitting alone, and from the way she was sitting, he could tell that she was short. "That’s definitely her," he mumbled as he ambled over to the table."Good afternoon, are you Maddy?" He asked with a smile. She raised her head to look at him as she realized that it was Hudson; she had seen photos of him that Tricia had sent to her prior to the date."Yes, I am. Have a seat. It’s nice to finally meet you, Hudson," Maddy said with a bright smile. She was wearing a red dress with bright crysta
"For this particular job, I will get it done for 20,000 dollars," Joshua responded."Sounds good. When do you think you are going to get it done?" Hudson inquired. Joshua assured him that he was going to get it done within three days. After that Hudson escorted him out of the house as Joshua carried the bags of gold coins with him."I look forward to doing a lifetime of business with you," Hudson said in a rumbling tone. As Joshua was heading towards the gate."Me too, sir!" Joshua replied.***Later in the afternoon, Hudson was getting ready in front of the large mirror that was inside his closet. He wanted to head over to the mall and get the items for his shop in the magic world."Hudson, where are you?" Tricia called out to him. Hudson was shocked to hear his mom’s voice; he didn’t think that she would be home at this time of the day."I’m in here, mom!" Hudson answered as he swiftly closed the button of the blue shirt that he was wearing.As he was about to come out of the closet
"Yeah, you are right; do you know any goldsmith?" Hudson asked, hoping that she would know a goldsmith.Tricia told him that she doesn’t know any, but that Hudson could look for one himself and that Goldsmith is everywhere online. After that, they both agreed that Hudson would look for a goldsmith himself, negotiate everything with the person, and then keep in touch with the goldsmith."It is settled then; you are going to work on getting a goldsmith," Tricia said, staring at Hudson. She noticed a sad look on Hudson’s face. ‘I don’t think Hudson is himself at all; he looks down. I think I should do something nice for him, something that would lift his spirit’ she thought."Yeah, I will start doing the research tonight," he replied. Tricia stood up from the couch."I should get going back to the restaurant; I need to get a few things done. We will catch up in the night when I’m back," she said with a smirk. Hudson stood up as he hugged her, and after that, Tricia went out of the house.
