315 I Like This Ship (2/2)
All their doubts disappeared after meeting Yale, the prowess he displayed was enough to make those mercenaries submit, it was important to say that the leader was at the Grandmaster Rank and there were some at the Elder Rank.
They were true professionals, and their strength wasn't to be underestimated as they could easily beat people at their same rank due to their huge experience in real battles.
If that hadn't been the case, Julie wouldn't have bothered in offering such good conditions to obtain their loyalty.
”You should be Yale, the famous Silent Healer. I am the leader of the group; it is a pleasure to meet you.”
The leader spoke while bowing, he didn't understand anything about the Death Law, but he knew that he wouldn't be able to kill that group of people as easily and quickly as Yale.
”Do you want to ask me something?”
Yale was in a good mood, so he didn't mind replying a question or two.
”Yes, I have one. Given your astonishing prowess, why do you need to contact us to deal with the True Empire, those small fries would have been easily killed by you.”
In the mercenary leader's eyes, Yale was the true backbone of the company while the others only were good at business, but in that case, there wasn't any need to contract mercenaries expending so much money because Yale himself should have been able to deal with that.
Yale couldn't reply saying that a year ago he was far weaker and that he wouldn't have been able to be as efficient as a mercenary group, so he spoke about something else.
”While you dealt with those small fries, I was at their headquarters in the Revgen Empire dealing with their leaders. Of course, they are all dead.”
Yale spoke the truth, but at that moment, he was under the Origin Link's effects, and his power was extremely different than his current power.
The mercenary leader was shocked by that reply, but with that everything made sense, it was normal that Yale didn't have time to deal with a branch when he was dealing with the leaders at the other extreme of the continent.
No one spoke with Yale after that, and Yale finally stepped on the ship while the mercenaries looked at him with worship.
The ship was huge and was reinforced with a lot of formations; Yale believed that it would be impossible for a normal storm to destroy it, but the biggest danger in that travel wasn't the weather.
”I like this ship, and it seems that everyone will be able to live here. Well, everyone except Aiwai because she can't leave.”
Yale sighed when thinking about Aiwai, but he couldn't do anything for her at that moment because he was far too weak.
After strolling around the ship for some minutes, Yale noticed that Julie and Oscro ended talking and Oscro was about to leave.
”I forgot to give that to him.”
Yale still wanted to give something to Oscro, but he forgot to do it earlier as he was only thinking in the failed experiment, so Yale decided to teleport towards him to catch Oscro before he left; he could have also shouted to him making him stop, but that would have been quite unrefined given his position. Fortunately, there wasn't a big distance, so Yale felt confident.
Oscro shouted in shock when Yale appeared in front of him, but he just added another Yale's frightening capability to the list on his mind and stopped thinking about it.
”Oscro, take this and bind it. This is a token made by Revgen of the Revgen Empire; it is invaluable for you, so don't even think to sell it. After binding it, if you die, the last moments of your life would be sent to me, so I will be able to avenge you later on. You can also break it at any time to send me some seconds of images, but if you did it, I would assume that those images are your dying message because you are already doomed.”
Originally, Yale planned to give one to him and another to Julie, but since Julie was going with him, there wasn't any need for that.
Of all the people Yale knew that wasn't going with him, Oscro was the one who was in the worst situation since the strongest person in the Zuatania Republic was Tar, and he would be unable to act against a Law Master. Even someone else at the Sage Rank would be a troublesome opponent for Tar being both at the same Rank, so killing Oscro and fleeing was quite possible.
Of course, the continent was isolated, and the chances of a new Law master or Sage Rank expert attacking were low since usually, those at Tar level were at good terms with each other disregarding their official stances in the countries.
”Julie, let's go to the ship. Start to make the preparations for depart.”
Yale planned to make everyone exit at the departure time to let them see Trade City from the ship. As for doing it before, he didn't dare for fear of someone wanting to stroll and encountering some problems with some crazy people.
Although dealing with that kind of people wasn't hard, that would be a delay for Yale's plans, and he didn't want any delay because he didn't know when the system would recognize that he had left the continent. It could be just after departing or after crossing the isolation barrier; in the worst case, it could be after reaching the other continent.
