Chapter 508: Shop Keeper (1/2)

The next day, Sam went on with his last fight in the Arena.

For the next week, the fights went on and this is going to be the last week of the Arena in Rana's hands. Both Yodha and Sam agreed that the Arena will just come in their way and it is going to be taken away by Rana's family anyway.

So, they decided to stop the Arena fights after this week.

As for the fighters, they are not being sold away. At least not all of them. When Sam went to meet Rana, Arman talked to these fighters about something and that is related to this.

Sam knew that things would progress this way and that is why he already started preparing for the situation and sent Arman to talk to them.

The meat that was given to the chef contains some medicine that can neutralize the poison a bit. This is Sam's gift to the rest of the fighters and Arman went to some of them to say this and also weave some lies to them.

His plan is that he would act like a mediator between Rana and them to make them believe that Rana doesn't like the Arena and these methods and is trying to get rid of it without his family knowing. So, the fighters would have to choose a different path from now on.

Since Rana cannot get rid of them directly and let them get away, he has some options for them. The first one is that he would let them join his personal force and they can work for him as a soldier. There would even be compensation for all the torment they went through in here.

As for the second choice, they would be auctioned off to the Noble scions and one-fourth of the amount you get will be taken away by Rana, with the remaining three-fourths going to the fighters.

The fighters didn't believe this at first. After all, who would believe the person who acted as a gatekeeper of the prison?

But Arman did a great job convincing them.

He even tried to lay a trap of guilt on them by saying that Rana's current situation of isolation from their family is all because of them. Because Rana wanted to free them and stop this, he was isolated and bullied.

Surprisingly this worked. They are not from here and they don't really know the exact situation of the families. The most they knew is that Rana is from a big family and from the gossip of the dining staff, they came to knew that he is in trouble. That's it.

They ignored it in the past and thought that whatever that is they don't have anything to do with it, but Arman's statement made them think.

The same thing happened with the other fighters of Arena Sam talked to.

While the situation was left to Arman to solve, Sam went to the store after his fight and met with Shop Keeper.

The latter was not really surprised by his visit as it became a daily norm for both of them.

”Fancy a glass of wine?” Sam asked as he took out a crystal bamboo jar.

”Sure.”

Both of them sat down together and started drinking. They didn't talk much as they drank, but when the first crystal bamboo jar was over, Sam finally asked.

”How many days for your seal to break?”

Abruptly, the shop keeper halted in his actions and looked at Sam calmly.

Sam didn't stop though, he was as casual as ever.

”How do you know?”

Sam activated his eye technique and there is a golden glow around them. The shop keeper looked at him and sighed.

”Where did you come from? The eye technique of this level is not that easy to obtain or cultivate. Are you really from some other place ruled by humans?”

”More or less, but it is not on this planet. As for where it is, I will tell you later. Before that, what is this seal?”

The shop keeper looked a little melancholic and said.

”This is a seal placed on me by my brother when he was taken away. Even though I want to tell you, I think it is beyond our means.”

”Why don't you tell me? Maybe I am someone who can help.”

”How can you help me when you are in your own shit?”

”Well, the shit is cleared completely. I will be leaving this place by the end of this week. The Arena will be empty and all the fighters are also leaving along with the staff. So, if you tell me what your problem is, maybe I might take pity on you and take you with me.”

Sam said half-jokingly.

Shop Keeper was shocked. He chugged the liquor and said.
