Over at the city gates, Obadiah and his n had just arrived.
"Boss, it looks like their condition is more serious than we thought." Javis said, as he looked with disdain at the ragged n walking towards them.
Were these even clothes?
All 12 n wore dirty thin airy clothes, that had several holes and patches on them.
And their shoes, Ugh!!!
Their fiber wrapped shoes had visible holes on them as well.
In fact, Obadiah and the n could even see so of their toes sticking out when the ca closer to them.
Their whole deanor, spelled out poverty.
The dust and dirt on their faces, made them look like they had been sleeping in the wilderness for years.
Obadiah and his n smiled, as they looked these wild unkempt savages.
This mission was wound definitely be successful.
They imdiately got off their horses and walked towards the barbarians.
"Gentlen, we are here to change your lives for the better!!" Obadiah said.
Landon, Lucius and the soldiers.. were slightly taken aback.
But they decided to play along.
Landon chewed on the piece of hay in his mouth, and spat on the ground like a farm boy.
"How?" He asked.
"Ahhh!!!..
You must be the leader of this group right?" Obadiah asked with a charming smile on his face.
"More or less." Landon replied with no hint of emotions within his voice.
Obadiah and his n drowned slightly.
’What’s wrong with this kid?
Most people would have already jumped in happiness by now.
But this kid... just were does his arrogance co from?’ they thought.
"You haven’t answered my question though.... how are you supposed to change our lives?"
"Hahahaha.... Kid!!... Do you know how lucky you are to et us today?
We ca from a promise land that’s filled with milk and honey.
It has enough food, wine, beautiful won, clothes, jewelry and riches than you can ever dream of.
We know that you all are starving and hungry, so we ca here to give you all an opportunity to change your lives.
Anything you want, we will provide for you.
We can take you around the continent, and even around this world... in fact, whatever you desire, you will find it in our land.
Hehehehe..... Follow us back to our land, and we’ll take good care of you all."
Honestly, the more Landon heard... the more he beca unconvinced about this so called promise land of theirs.
Landon and his n didn’t buy their bullshit at all.
If these n had promised them safety, work and food alone...then they would be willing to at least entertain them a little more.
After all, it wasn’t good to judge a book by its cover.
But to brag about riches, money, won, and even travelling around the world... sounded so sketchy to them.
To Landon, it sounded like the devils temptation.
The only thing that was missing, was for them to tell him to sign his soul over.
Who would give out their money just like that?
These n were definitely up to no good!!!!
"Can I ask you so questions?" Landon asked.
"Sure, go ahead kid."
Landon places another strand of hay in his mouth and carefully sized up Obadiah and his n.
"Are you yourself rich?"
Obadiah’s smile turned stiff and his face beca slightly red from anger.
His financial situation was his sore point.
Everyone who was close to him knew this... even his own henchn.
He had been working under his master for 15 years now.. yet, his salary was only slightly higher than his n.
His henchn were furious and imdiately unsheathed their swords angrily.
"How dare you a small brat like you question our boss?"
"Look here!!!... we’re trying to elevate your lowly lives, not the other way around."
"Boss!!! Although they are 12 in number, while we are only 11... I still feel like we can take them on.
I’ll kill the kid in one move, and then we could focus on the other n."
Landon signaled for his n to not draw their swords, and smiled towards Obadiah.
"Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!..
It seems that your not rich after all.
So if that’s true, why should we believe that following you will give us riches?
Let
make sothing clear to you, we are not interested in your so called promise land!!" Landon said.
Obadiah looked at him and imdiately burst out in rage.
Who the hell was this arrogant lad?
He had tried his best to be polite, but these savages were hell bent on f***ing things up for him!
"Fine!!!
Since you’re not interested, then move out of the way, so that we can take those who are!!" Obadiah yelled angrily, as he and his n attempted to walk past the savages.
’Sling!!’, Lucius and the n imdiately unsheathed their own swords.
"And just where do you think your going?" Landon asked emotionlessly.
Obadiah squinted his eyes and clenched his fists.
"Who the hell are you to stop us from going into the city?
Are you even soone of any importance?!!!!"
"Who am I?
Well... I’m the king of course!!!
And what I say is the law!!"
Obadiah backed up a little, and looked at Landon intensively.
Obadiah and his n didn’t believe it for one second.
Judging from the kids looks, he was probably just a gang leader of a small thievery band!
"Bahahahaa!!!!!..okay, I’ll play along with you!!
Even if your the king, have you forgotten that you have no real power here?
Do you know who my master is?
Not even Alec Barn would dare go against him!!!
But you!!!... hehehe a punny ant like you dares to stand in his way?
That’s it!! I’m done being nice.
You either join us, or face our master’s fury!" Obadiah said arrogantly.
His master’s na was always his last trump card.
In very rare occasions, so peasants would refuse to go with him... but when he used his master’s na, fear would overco them, and they would willingly accept and give their lives to fate.
Surprisingly, these savages had made him use this card.
And now, he would like to see how long their arrogance could last.
"And just who is your master?"
"Master Nopline!!" Obadiah said proudly.
The entire place beca silent.
His henchn looked at Landon and sneered.
’Now your scared?
Hehehe.. where did all your forr arrogance go to?
Our master’s na is indeed great.!!!!’ They thought.
"You said his na was Nopline?"
"Yess!!
