Chapter 21—Gathering

The night is filled with the sounds of animals that are active at night. Along the way Arch drove horses as fast as possible while looking for a quick shortcut.

Arch was supposed to arrive in the afternoon, but who would have thought preparing some needs would take a lot of time, after all Arch was the type of person who would actually choose which objects were useful and not.

Walking at night is more dangerous, not only the lighting is minimal, but also many other dangers that are ready at any time come unexpectedly. Therefore Arch cusses Artifacts sound remover (Soundproof silencer), Acceleration of movement (Move quickly), and air removal presence (Remove presence), hoping by wearing all three can eliminate interference and shorten the time.

Finally after the journey, Anson was seen waiting for himself beside the entrance of the Holaust region. I don't know how long he's been standing making Arch feel a little guilty has been coming for so long.

Anson gave his regards to the Arch coming down from the horse. Anson takes Arch's horse to a stable that has been guarded by Horios' men (the auction owner). Horios had guessed that Arch would need a place for his horse, seen last time Arch hid the horse.

Arch is in a hurry. He had turned to Anson who had a relaxed expression, Arch knew from Anson's face that there was nothing to worry about, but still for Arch to finish the business will make his heart more calm.

"Has everything gathered?"

"Yes, all have been waiting for you, young master."

"I have to apologize to them first. Oh, where's Boston?"

"With in the same room. Also, some business has been done. You just have to check back and sign some important ones."

"OKAY. Ah, after this I have to treat you!"

Thank you all, some small things have been taken care of and will not take up much of my time now.

Anson precedes Arch to open the door. Arch is also familiar with this because Anson is Arch's servant. Boston was also sitting there, unlike Anson who was relaxed, Boston actually displayed a hostile face on Horios. Of course, it was natural for someone to behave like that. Horios is a criminal who sells children and many more crimes he committed.

"I think I made you wait too long."

Horios looked towards the Arch.

"Surely you have some to bring, no need to hesitate, young master."

Arch sits next to Boston. Horios attached some files that had been neatly arranged. Arch read and began to take important points in it, rather than having to memorize long sentences, he preferred to remember the important ones only.

"So everything's been taken care of?"

Arch put it back on the table. The waiter came to place the warm tea in front of the Arch politely.

"Because you arrived longer, so taking care of some small things isn't a problem, is it? After all your servants are very dexterous."

"I'm glad to hear your praise of my servant. Let's get over this, Anson asked me earlier about the vehicle to move the kids? I'll use the usual horse-drawn carriage that the merchants use to transport things."

"Oh, good then. So when are you going to move them, where I'm not a house, loh!"

"I plan to move it tomorrow morning."

"Before that, I'd like to ask you about the location of the dorm! Is it already so?where did you build it?"

The Arch that was about to answer was then stopped by Horios who returned to speaking.

"I want to express my opinion. How about a dormitory in the wake of this place. Didn't no nobles claim this place?"

"Oh, you mean?"

Horios continued to return.

"Seems like you haven't built an ashram? Will the children be placed in an orphanage for a while? Am I right?"

"Yes, as you thought."

"Rather than building in your place, will we not try to gain two advantages, young master?"

Arch lifted the teacup gracefully and replied.

"By building in this place, so you want to keep yourself safe and hostel as a diversion."

Horios excitedly jumped up a little bit of his body.

"Finally, but it looks like—"

Horios who did not continue her words made Arch ask.

"Don't hesitate just continue! What are you gonna talk about?"

"I want to make your name famous as a hero here and me as a representative of course. I wanted to give them a briefing on lifestyle and other important sciences. Making agriculture would be more profitable as well, so we have our own stock. Of course, the cost to be incurred is not a little. Hehehe, you definitely know what to do, young master!"

This guy is really stingy. He also has a lot of money, but it is also true what he said.

"Alright, Horios. I'll give you some money for the needs of your plan. Don't disappoint, yes!"

"Trust me, young master."

Boston turned to Arch, an unpleasant look on his face.

"I'm sorry for this ludicrousness of mine. Are you sure this guy can be trusted?"

Arch who sipped tea, smiled after putting the tea back on the table.

"I like people like him better."

Boston did not understand what Arch was saying and he scratched his head in confusion. How can a man like that be trusted? Only one answer! Arch, he knows how people like this think, sometimes people like him are more interesting to notice.

Amidst the silence, a noise occurred outside and a more mature boy from Arch walked into the room. The seriousness on his face, such a strong shoulder had borne the burden, such a bold way of walking as if nothing had frightened him.

"Are we going to be sold again? To whom?"

The question in a stern tone, made Horios answer.

"Ah, I'll tell you later. Now can you come back, son!"

"At least, I want to talk to that buyer about something. Just once, let me meet him for a moment!"

The stubbornness of the boy made Arch unable to resist laughing. Arch laughed until everyone turned their eyes towards him.

"Hahahaha, so you want to talk to that buyer, huh? What is there to talk about?"

The boy looked at Arch.

"Why is the child here? I don't know you that you're the uncle's son. I just want to talk about our rights. We want at least some of the freedom that brother Horios gave us."

"Freedom? Birds that are sold want freedom?"

"We're not birds! We human beings are entitled to ask for the right to freedom even in the strictest sense."

"Then, please explain to me, dong! What kind of freedom do you want"

Arch grinned after hearing the word freedom. This was like an obvious form of humiliation, but the child was not once provoked by emotion.
