Ch-:11 Dima Loan Sharks

Light was coming from a window and it was falling on the face of young boy. The boy was Sogen, who wakes up suddenly.

"Oh no! I am late for the workshop. Those techniques put too much strain on my muscles. First I should wash up and go in the workshop."

After some time Sogen gets ready and goes in the workshop.He sees Mr. Rudriger standing on the counter.

"Sir, I am sorry. I am late."

"Boy, I intentionally didn't come to wake you up. You were very tired last night so I don't try to wake you ."

Sogen starts to head towards furnace to make weapon but he was stopped in middle because of a voice. It was Mr. Rudriger's voice.

"Boy, Today there is not much work, why don't you go in town for exploration."

"Sir but I can help in other chores."

Mr. Rudriger starts to stare at him. Sogen has no words to speak because he understood that Mr. Rudriger wants him to go outside the workshop. So he agrees for his request. He goes outside the shop.

A smile comes on Mr. Rudriger's face and said,"This boy understands the situation and is hardworking. If he had meet me before I would have taken him as my disciples and I would be able to give him many resources but now I am just an old man ."

Whereas in town

Sogen was walking on the street.

"System, I absorbed Innate Talent of all the people who had died in Kiang Forest but all these are trash. Cooking,washing, plant encyclopedia and what's the meaning of this , Tea Serving, is this even a talent. With all these Innate Talents should I just become a servant but there is not much scope for me in it."

"Host! Don't be sad maybe these talents will come in hand in future."

"Yes System, you are right. Maybe these talents will come in hand in future and that time I will be working as a servant. System should I buy a servant dress and starts to practice.",Sogen replies with boredom.

"Well I can try a talent here. Innate Talent, Plant Encyclopedia Activate."

After activating the talent, Sogen was able to see details of all the plants and trees near him.He was even able to see the details of seeds and fruits.

"Hmm, this talent is somewhat useful."

Sogen starts to inspect some plants near him but he was surprised to see something.

"Someone is selling cocoa fruits!",He exclaimed in surprise.

But the thing which surprised him more is that its seeds are thrown like garbage.

"System, I think I have found a pretty good business."

"Congratulations! Host, are you thinking about making chocolates?"

"Wait system. How do you know about chocolates?"

"Host, I know everything about you and your world. So you don't need to be surprised."

"Even if I ask you more about your existence. I think you wouldn't answer me. Right?"

"Yes, host."

"You really are straightforward. Now let's check these cocoa fruits."

"Hey! How much are you selling these fruits for?",Sogen asked the vendor.

It was a little girl almost same age as Sogen who was selling those fruits.

"Brother, it is 6 silver coins for each fruit."

"Don't you think this price is a bit high."

"Brother, These fruits are not easy to produce. A single tree only produce 30-40 fruits per year. They are hard to maintain. These fruits are very good in taste."

Sogen thinks for a moment and then said,"You have 19 fruits, I will buy them all for 100 silver coins. Do you agree for this deal?"

The girl was surprised to hear that Sogen wants to buy all her fruits but than a smile comes across her face because it was a good deal for her. Not all her fruits will be sold and eventually many will rot. So even if she gives this much discount it will be a profit for her.

"Brother, I agree for this deal.",she replies with joy.

Sogen smiles and throws a gold coin which landed in the girl's palm. The girl packed all the fruits and give them to Sogen.

"By the way, what's your name.",Sogen asks the girl.

"Airo, Brother.",She replies with hesitation.

Before Sogen could ask anything else, a bunch of people comes to the girl. They were looking like bandits.

"Hey girl, when are you going to pay your debt to us?" A man asks.

Before the girl could say something. The same man grabs the gold coin from her hands.

"Well this much is enough but don't forget to pay your left debt.",The man says and starts to go.

But Airo grabbed the man's arm and said,"Sir I will pay your debt but please give me some money to feed my brother and father."

The man stared at Airo and said,"It's not my problem how you and your family survive. But there's a way by which you can earn money for your family."

The man eyes fills with the lust and he starts to move his hands towards Airo. She starts to tremble in fear and closed her eyes. But suddenly another hand grabs the man's hand. It was Sogen.

He glared at the man and then he smiles at him. Then suddenly Sogen's deadly expressions turned into a licking dog's expressions and he said," Sir, I think you are a great person then why are you wasting your time on this little girl. How much debt you have on this girl?"

All the men start to laugh and one man from the group says,"Whom we were thinking a wolf, comes out to be a little puppy."

The man whose hand Sogen had grabbed was the leader of this group and he says,"Boy, Do you think you can pay her debt? She has a debt of 5 gold coins. Now, will you give us the debt?"

Sogen take out a bale and gives 5 gold coins to the man from it. The man stared at the bale, then at Sogen and he takes the coins. He moves his head towards his man but suddenly he grabs Sogen's bale and sees in it. There were 5 more gold coins. Sogen has thousands of gold coins but he had put all of them in System inventory. He only took out some coins.

"Boy, you had grabbed my hand. I am taking a compensation for it. Do you have any disagreement with it."

"No Sir, you can take them all.",Sogen replies.

The man leaves the place with his men.

The girl, with tears in his eyes says,"Brother, you don't need to worry. I will pay all your money slowly."

The girl knew that now the amount she has to pay to Sogen is more than the debt. But looking at those people eyes, today something worse could have happened to her.

Sogen patted her head and says with a smile,"You don't need to pay the debt. I am thinking of starting a business and for that I need your fruits. So basically you are my business partner, I can help you this much. But who are these people?"

"Airo's eyes were filled with tears."

Sogen had understood how much she had suffered in past years.

She wipes her tears and says,"Brother they were Dima Loan Sharks."
