I Can Make Everything Level UP

Chapter 705 Total Control (1)

“All right then,” Billy said. “I will deal with this.”

“Aren’t you going to need some backup?” Lily asked.

“To deal with some slave traders? No way,” Billy replied. “In times of war, the more you can crack the enemy’s skulls, the faster you will solve the situation. However, in times of peace, you need other approaches. Don’t worry, though. I will make sure that those involved and those who benefitted from this will get what they deserve.”

Lily was a bit too emotionally involved in the matter, and while the others wanted to be a bit more logical when it came to certain issues now that they were adults, things still weren’t simple. They might try to keep their cool during most of the time, but they might change their minds once they see enslaved tribesmen under terrible conditions. It would be better if Billy goes alone since he is cold-blooded and has steel nerves for that kind of stuff.

The reason for that was that he came from Earth, and most of the slavery system had been dealt with hundreds of years ago… It wasn’t gone completely, but Billy knew how to handle that.

Billy left early in the morning the next day and used Flash to approach his destination as fast as possible. According to his friends, the remaining nobility of the Korpal state moved south as further as they could and even took for themselves Lucyna’s former homeland and approached the samurai state in order to work with them in case some sort of weird attack happened again. They had no idea that such tactics would never work against Billy and his friends if they decided to go all out.

In any case, only four years had passed since the time Billy killed the king of the Korpal state, but they had already built a new capital elsewhere, and it was pretty big as well. It was around ten kilometers long and five wide. The walls were also thirty kilometers tall, and since there were some hills around, they could be used defensively…

“It seems that they think that we are siege weapons…” Billy frowned.

Since he came from the North, Billy could see the gate of that side closed. Not many people used that one, but after moving around the area, Billy saw that the southern gate was wide open, and the guards weren’t checking anyone since they were coming from the samurai land.

“I don’t look much like them, but perhaps they won’t stop me…” Billy thought.

It was a bit risky, but at least Billy would draw some attention to the people he wanted to deal with. Apparently, when Billy joined a group and then crossed the gates, none of the guards even looked at him. Some of the people from the samurai land frowned at him, and it was only natural. They lived in a land of snow, and it was rare to see someone tanned.

“As I expected, of course, they wouldn’t sell slaves in the open and during the day… I don’t know much about Sei’s people, but they seem the type who values honor and tradition,” Billy thought. “Considering that the summoned individual that built that state didn’t like fighting, he probably disliked enslaving or killing people as well.”

Billy didn’t see slaves in the samurai capital, so it was clear that the people of the new capital of the Korpal state wanted to keep some secrets from their new allies. In any case, after moving around for not too long, Billy managed to sense that some buildings had underground structures and felt the presence of people there.

After memorizing the locations of those places, Billy looked for in the city’s central areas, the richest folks would live there since it would be the safest zone in times of war, so it was also the most developed part of the city. Still, while Billy saw some guards around, he didn’t see slaves.

Billy looked around some places like inns, shops, and restaurants, but he didn’t find anything in those places as well. That was starting to seem weird… even if they were being hidden from most people, one or two should be able to be seen now and then. The samurai people probably didn’t know much about the tribesmen in the north, so it wouldn’t surprise them if they saw a few and assumed that they were people that were enslaved over debts.

Since all his friends were at the camp, the training of the people there went without many delays, so Billy had time to do some investigation. However, Billy didn’t want to deal with that mess for too long, so he decided to cut to the chase. He went to one of the places where he could find the slave market, and one of them was hidden below a blacksmith shop.

“I want to… pay for your slaves,” Billy said.

“What are you talking about?” The owner of the shop asked. “Can’t you see that I sell weapons here?”

While in some places, those who forge weapons don’t sell them, the vast majority of the blacksmiths also were sellers. They wanted to see in which hands their creations would fall… that guy didn’t look like a blacksmith in the least. He was tall, bald, and buffed, but he was way too clean. He also had some sword scars on his face and arms… Real blacksmiths had signs of iron dust everywhere in their bodies. He was only pretending to look like one since he was wearing an apron a bit dirty with coal.

“I don’t have time for this…” Billy said and then used mind control. “How many of them do you have down there?”

“Seven…” the fake blacksmith said.

“To whom you sold the others?” Billy asked. “Give me the location and names of all those involved in your business.”

After using Mind Control, things got a lot easier, Billy confirmed the locations of the other hideouts, and he also affirmed that some nobles that were close to the former king were buying them.
