Chapter 141: After A Week Of Peaceful Days

It has been a week of peaceful days. And I don't have anything urgent to do at all. I just went diving for a few hours every day and return home with more money. Now I have enough to buy the neighboring buildings.

Sam really is good at business. She said that she found a client who's willing to pay a lot of money for the treasures I find from diving. She told me that it was some rich group who wanted to sell merchandise across the sea in the past but the ship sunk and they lost a lot of money. Maybe the ships I got my loot from is one of theirs.

I think that's why when they found out about the stuffs that Sam sells, they are willingly paying a lot of money. And then they try to find out where she gets those stuffs from which lead them to follow me to the beach. But of course they are not diving to the sea.

Since they don't have any intention to harm me, I just let them be. And if they try to approach me, I'll ignore them.

I'm fine with being followed, but having ten people following me is annoying. So today I went to Sam to give her the loots and tell her to inform her client to not have so many people following me.

"Today you got a lot as well. I heard from Lina that our neighbor is moving since you bought their plot of land. Trying to make your house bigger?" Sam asked after I gave her employee my loots.

"Yes. That and I'm planning to build a park here for the children to play. It's so that the kids can make new friends."

"That's nice. Anything else?"

"Yes. Tell your client that they have too many people following me and it's started to get annoying. If they become more annoying then I will kill them. Tell your client to never blame me for killing his men in case that happen. They even started to check around my house."

"Hmm… that's fine. I'll tell him to reduce the number of people following you and that you will kill anyone who tries to invade your privacy. Is that okay with you?" Sam asked.

"Yes. Tell your client that I will kill anyone who checked on my house and following my friends. As for those who follows me to the sea, just reduce their number is fine. But if it's too many then I'll kill them. Even if the number is increased and the new faces are not their people and from a third party, I will be fair and kill them all." I said.

"Is killing people a fair thing to do?"

"It is if I kill everyone. If I choose favorites then it's not fair."

"Okay. He'll be here in the afternoon so I'll tell him then. Oh, right. I think the girls are gathering together now. They have some kind of discussion. I think you will be busy again soon."

I got a bad feeling about this. Just after a week of peaceful days, some bad things will happen that might need me to work hard. Should I escape? Or just give up? I guess I'll just give up and do the work.

"Thanks for telling me. I guess I'll go now. They seem to be waiting for me." I said as I look at my house with my Divine Vision and see that the girls are gathering around Sonia who seem to have some news from Albert.

I left Sam's office and return home then I approached the girls.

"Will I be busy again?" I just asked them directly.

"Here's some parfait so you feel a little better." Lina offered me a parfait she made.

"Thanks. So? Is there any news?" I asked Sonia.

"Albert has visited Hill in Mellian city. He also visited the noble in charge of that city and Albert said he can be trusted. As for Hill and his men, everyone agreed to help him evacuating people. Some of them also strong enough to help the agents to defeat monsters. Luckily, none of them are members of the cult. That's what Albert said about Hill and the others." Sonia explain what Albert told her.

Seeing everyone's reaction, I already know that they have heard it from Sonia first. I bet there will be more than this news.

"Anything else?" I asked.

"Albert wished that it was the last time that he will see Hill, but that's impossible. Then the next info is… you do know that Albert contacted Wendy by using me, right?"

"I know. She has a necklace, right?"

Since everyone who can call Sonia are given a piece of accessory by me, of course Ms. Wendy will contact Albert via Sonia.

"Yes. Albert told Wendy that even though we have more people, it's still not enough. So as for Melk city where Wendy is located, Albert will send Hill and about ten of his men to Melk."

"But they are only responsible for evacuation, right? As for those responsible to defeat the monsters during the stampede… don't tell me!" I raised from my chair as I figure out what comes next from Sonia's mouth.

"Yes. It will be everyone here. Of course Wendy will have some reinforcement coming as well. And you can finish your school as well. Wendy said that no one knows about anyone who got involved during that time Angela breaking through. But for safety purpose, she suggested you to not stay in Red Tail anymore. Don't worry since she has prepared a place for everyone to stay in. She bought a whole hotel building for everyone to stay at." Sonia explained.

"Sigh… At least I can still attend medical school after this."

"Hmm? You're surprisingly not refusing this job like usual? Why?" Angela asked me curiously.

"Well, even if I refuse it, you all have already thought of a way to convince me, right? Let's just skip the convincing part and do this. But after I graduate, I have to have two years break from any works from Albert related to the cult. Tell him that." I pointed my finger to Sonia as I said that.

"I'll tell him that. What will you do in those two years?" Sonia asked.

"Training, cultivating, becoming richer, and resting. If we haven't changed the future too much, then it should be around seven or eight years before the cult started their next plan. Then during that time we can improve our strength before the real war happen. And that should be enough time for me to finish medical school as well. But since we are trying to prevent casualties during the stampede, the future will be different. But I don't think the cult will make any big moves during the next two years. Which is enough for us to improve." I explained my plan to everyone.

"I see. That's a good plan. We can also look for trusted allies after the stampede. Which will make us stronger." Candy thought out loud.

"I'll tell Albert about your plan. He will most likely agree to this two years break. Oh, if you're going to Melk, Wendy told me to go there as soon as possible. Since if you're still aiming to finish school, there will be an important exam next week." Sonia said to hurry up.

"Then tomorrow I'll leave. What about you two?" I asked Angela and Kayla if they wanted to finish school as well.

"I'll go with you. Since I want to be a healer, I guess I'll go to magic college specialized in healing magic after the two years break." Kayla said.

"Me too. I think it's a good idea to aim for the best magic school in this country." Angela also agreed.

"Isn't that the college in capital?" I asked Angela.

"Yes. Then I could ask Albert or Marie to find me a lodging. After the two years of training, I believe I can be the strongest in the college. Then I'll learn everything I needed and return here." Angela said confidently.

"Oh! If you're aiming for that school, then me too! I already graduate Introductory School few years ago so I might be the oldest student there. But that's okay with me." Shirley also aimed for the same college as Angela.

"Why didn't you attend college before?" I asked her curiously.

"Brother told me that it will be troublesome if member of royalty go to college. Since he's afraid that someone is trying to approach me with ill intention. But if I return there after two years, I think no one will recognize me after I return since I almost never leave the palace before. But I only got introductory school degree by being home-schooled so I also want to experience going to school before then. Can I come to your school as well?" Shirley asked to go to Melk as well.

"Fine. The four of us will leave tomorrow then. What about the three of you?"

I asked Sophie, Lina, and Candy if they want to go as well.

"We will go too. But we'll leave later than you guys. Ian will stay here to take care of the others. He said he'll leave everything in Melk to us all." Candy replied.

"Which mean everyone is going, huh. Sonia, tell Albert and Ms. Wendy that we're going."

I guess it's time to visit Melk again. Although I don't like how I have to work hard over there, I'm still happy to be able to finish school. But Hill will be there as well. I hope Hill and his group of muscular men won't cause any problem there. Especially to me.
