Chapter 35: SWEET TALKER GONE TOO FAR

Ken was nowhere. All the place was completely dark, just darkness and only him. And he looked to his left and right. Then a luminescent screen popped toward his gaze.

[95..94 80..60..45..20..10..5..0 days left]

As it reached zero, the dark place turned into arches. Fire burned the entire place, burning and moving toward him. Immediately he woke up from the bed.

And he held his forehead. He was breathing heavily. Then in a few seconds he calmed down and slowly breathed out mist.

Am I that afraid to fail this main quest? NO, I’M not. But to think about failure terrifies me... All my life I need to save, on a limited time... 500k points in 100 days... The days pass and I see and feel it’s more difficult than I imagined.

He slowly put one leg down, the other, and he stood up. As he walked out of his door, he saw someone near the door. It was Robert.

Ken still felt sleepy and Robert said,

"There are some workers that came to see you."

Ken grabbed the door and was about to close it. He said.

"They said it’s for work."

As he heard that word, he thought about money.

Money... Even though the time is limited... I will work hard and harder and enjoy a peaceful life if that’s possible.

Then, he still locked the door and moved out of the small house after 5 minutes.

As he stepped out he looked at his clothes.

The same style of clothing and dresses every day is a little bit shameless.

Immediately he gazed at them. They were 8 meters away from Ken. He walked toward them with his hands joined together to show his superiority over them.

Ken was near them. There were 3. As the worker wanted to talk, Ken made a sigh and they stopped and he spoke.

"If my offer had been rejected, now you may leave."

Ohh... I’m really acting like a professional.

The worker affirmed positively. Immediately the sunlight rays touched him on his face and he covered his face with a hand.

Now is time for a small work. We take in some money.

At once he stretched his right arm and shouted,

"The courageous, follow me. We have some work."

Then, a slave worker came with his material. He first gazed at the item, and smiled.

This is mine.

He held it and raised it upward, and the others did the same. His eyes shone purple light. They walked toward sector 2 gate. Ken was in front and there was a crowd behind him.

After a moment of walking they finally reached the place. He stared at them. All the slave workers had an intimidating aura. As Ken moved away, walking slowly and surely, another worker did the same as him. Then the two pressed their hands together.

As he passed the worker, he turned toward the slave workers. Immediately, they started walking, and they finally reached the place. Everyone took their place. And as the clouds blocking the sunlight moved away, the light ray intensity increased. And all the workers raised their picks up. As the wind blew and stopped, all the workers hit the ground. It shattered and particles were projected at random.

The workers dug meters after meters.

The sun’s intensity was at its peak but still no worker stopped working. They were all waiting for someone to abandon first.

After 6 hours of working they finally finished working. Robert moved and the money for the work they accomplished was given to him, which he finally gave to Ken.

As Ken held the bag of money.

A work done perfectly.

Then he looked at the sky, and whispered.

"This is just the beginning."

He walked away with all his workers. And a guy walked toward him and asked.

"When will we eat again, boss?"

Ken stopped, and stared at him.

"What did you just say?"

The worker was a little bit confused.

"Hmm... Boss."

He continued walking. He said in his mind:

They are already calling me boss? It’s good to hear but I’m not at that level... Almost no money to buy new clothes. What a shame. Even with this, it wouldn’t be enough for what I’m preparing. I will eventually escape or rule this place, all of it.

Ken smiled. Then they moved backwards to sector 1. Out of the gate, Moli was waiting for the other workers. And she saw them coming. Immediately, she scowled at only one person. And it was Ken.

As he reached near her, he bent his head, and smirked.

"I’m glad to meet you here, commander."

At once she remarked a little change. He was more attractive than usual, more handsome. Moli saw, stared at him from top to bottom, and sneered at him.

But no real change. He is still a slave worker.

Moli folded her arms and spoke.

"Your next job is to plant crops here. Something that can grow... Or make the soil at least fertile."

Meanwhile at the moment, Ken was in his thoughts, thinking on how he will conquer all the town, poison the trees from the root to the stem and leave.

As soon as she finished talking she noticed his gaze was focused on her chest, her breasts. And she immediately tried to cut him. He dodged with ease.

This pervert.

She threw slashes and he dodged it with ease. At that time, Moli was surprised.

How on earth did he progress so much in a short time... If you will avoid this...

She raised her sword up, and threw it rapidly. The edge of the blade almost touched Ken’s nose. At an instant, he made a step and was near Moli, face to face. He threw a punch. She whispered.

"I can’t avoid this."

And the punch was directly approaching her face. She closed her eyes and then he stopped the punch. And the system popped a notification.

At once, he stopped his punch, massaged her back slowly and spoke.

"Mmmm... It’s soft."

But in Ken’s mind:

What am I doing? I’m going too far but that is the only thing I rapidly did that met the system requirement.

Moli’s face became red. She felt weird. And he slowly said, with her hair moving as in Indian movies.

"No doubt, with such an attitude it’s normal you don’t have a man, even with this body."

At that moment, once more he overdid it. He went too far. All that Noli told her to calm her down broke into pieces.

Immediately, Ken instinctively flinched backward. Moli gritted her teeth. It made an odd sound. And the next second she spoke.

"If someone helps to teach this guy a lesson... I promise you freedom."

At that moment, everyone stared at each other then at Ken. As some were moving toward him he said.

"Reason for a second of your freedom... Out of Rombel without anything, you will definitely die of hunger... Meanwhile if you obey me you will live. I will make the soil fertile, you all will eat in abundance."

A worker stepped to him, one step after the other.

"You said food in abundance?"

The person was actually old. He fell to his knees and said,

"There is a season where almost everyone dies here and it’s approaching..."

At that time, Ken walked toward him.

"With me, you will not die of hunger if we all work together."

The old man’s tears ran down and hit the ground. Everyone, VIP or not, were on Ken’s side. And he walked toward her and whispered.

"The day you need a husband, call me. I’m there to help."
