Human market.

The Labyrinth of Despair.

Chapter 17.

So Fel and I reached the last stage of training. He could not master the simple method and now a real hell awaited him. The place where no one came back. Almost no one was able to survive at this stage of the study.

"Ahhh." The cry of unseen creatures echoed throughout the labyrinth.

"Damn, I can't see anything. And these voices are also terribly frightening."

Darkness and gloom. There is nothing else. Only the sounds of monsters living in this place. And they probably already smelled it. Now a hunt has been announced for the guy. He became prey for monsters.

"What is it? So scary. I don't even feel myself. And how do you tell me to survive here? This is just crazy. The very first thing I meet will kill me. And according to their voices, they are just horrible."

Tudukh.

I hit my head against the wall. Quite painful and unpleasant for the guy. And after that, he moved by touch through the maze.

Meanwhile, Jake Norton gathers all of his license plates at the casino. The vassal decided to discuss the actions of the new heroine, who openly attacked his domain. The Night mantle that destroyed the restaurant, and with it a hundred innocent people. What a sight to behold.

"And so, my friends. Who is in favor of starting a war with this fearless woman? What is killing innocents under the pretext of justice?"

A week ago. Jake went to the place where there was a destroyed restaurant and the first license plate was waiting for him. By name, William Shtrin. Quite a domineering aristocrat and has tremendous power. It was said that this man had never been defeated in his life, since the creation of the human market.

"Gee. Not order. It's so thoughtless to attack. And even on you."

“So they want to piss off themselves. Only one person can take such a desperate step."

"I'll go and put on a pumpkin of this Night mantle. She’s totally f****d up. I got messed up."

"Quiet, calm, we don't get into fights. Moreover, we try not to participate in the showdown. And that is for sure, we are specially dragged and taken to unnecessary actions. If we play into her hands, then we will only substitute. So calm your ardor."

"Yes, forgive me that I have sold out. But take a look. This is what it takes to be scum to involve so many innocent victims. Just for the sake of us hunting them down. Ugh."

"I perfectly understand your anger, but you can't. The one who is behind everything, none other than Meybi Cullen. I am almost one hundred percent sure."

"Tc, crazy devil. Completely with a head problem."

“Let's have a meeting next week and collectively decide what to do. Either attack, or just laugh and forget. If the first, then I will give the go-ahead for open war with the Night mantle and that aristocrat."

"Good. It works for me. You know, I wouldn't give a damn about Jake's restaurant if there were no casualties. But this does not fit into any framework. They've flunked so many."

"I understand, but you remember the arrangement with Edward Reinhard. But God forbid they do anything else and I swear. I will kill them. If the master does not give his consent, then I will terminate the contract and then nothing will stop me anymore."

"This is our leader. Okay, then until next week."

"Yes."

Nowadays. None of those present raised their hand. And this meant that they decided to get away with the incident of the destruction of William's premises.

“Thank you guys. I am very grateful to you for the fact that you close your eyes to so many things. And all in order not to involve my wife, Sarah. I am sincerely grateful to you, friends."

Mostly not because of the contract, but because of the vassal wife, Sarah. They all love and appreciate her very much, since the team has been together for a long way. The girl helped in every way she could. This concern awakened their love for her.

"Ahhahah. Well, of course you do."

"Here's a loser."

"Took it and the restaurant missed it."

"William. And you are also called the first number. Here is the hilarity."

"Yes Shtrin. It's time for you to rest, you are already old."

The others laughed at first. But not because people died. They were going to show them the respect they deserve.

"Well, shut up."

William shouted angrily. He was offended that his colleagues mocked him so much. True, they did this with love and from a kind heart.

"Guys' jokes are over. Now for the serious." Norton interrupted them.

Everyone around them changed their faces abruptly and were ready to rip their throats. Because no one from Jake's team recognized such cruelty. Everyone understood that the conversation would be about those killed in this terrible incident.

"This is a great grief."

"We will personally go to each house and kneel before their families."

"Let's pray for forgiveness."

It's right to apologize. They may not be brought back to life, but it is at least worth it. Anything is better than just giving up and doing nothing.

"Excellent, but for now I will prepare all the support, financially and other plans."

And so, all the license plates went around every house, every family and prayed for forgiveness. The aristocrats also considered themselves to be guilty of what had happened. We heard a lot of grief and tears, as well as grievances and disappointments. Some even spat in their faces and kicked them. But they just knelt down again and again, apologizing.

"Sorry."

"It's our fault."

And in response.

"Freaks. It's all because of you."

"I hate you."

"Give me back my son."

"For you to die."

And here's Norton's finishing touch. He's already prepared. All the money and programs to send, it remains to press the button and good deeds are done.

"Once again, I confess to you. Relatives of the deceased. Hope this helps you somehow."

Because of that, he left his budget and his license plates in a meager position, but that doesn't matter. After all, for them, people are more important than some pieces of paper. The only team worthy of respect.

Fel was not particularly sweet. Because, after an hour of wandering, he went a little crazy. Moreover, the loss of his mind began to push him to crazy things.

Babakh.

"Aaaaa. Painfully. How much does it hurt? It is unbearable. Hell."

I shot myself in the leg to get rid of the fear and put myself in order a little. Boldly, of course, few people agree with such a desperate method.

This is the state to which a person must be brought so that he decides to take such an unreasonable step. And more. Now, if an infection gets into the wound or the guy loses a lot of blood. He will die.

"Moron. I want to cry."

Yes, and before that he had a week. Now, there is less than a day left. He bandaged the wound, but that wouldn't last long.

"Damn, how did I decide on such stupidity? And why am I killing myself at all? I only made myself worse. This is all the damn horror emanating from the maze."

"Graaa."

Suddenly, the beast attacked and flayed the skin from his shoulder. Someday, he would have to meet them anyway. Sooner rather than later.

"Damn, you need to run."

I tried to hide, but unlike Fel, the animals see everything. And purposefully run at him.

"Graaa."

With a stab in the back, they stabbed him and the guy slowly fainted. Is it really the end and Fel is still waiting for death?

“It looks like I'm done. So I could not learn to meditate. Why is everything like that? Am I so helpless and weak? No I can not."

On the verge of life and death, a white image appeared in the mind of the guy and appeared before him.

"Fel, just feel the strength in yourself now and all your efforts will be rewarded. Trust me and go ahead."

The guy took a step and then his mind opened. It dawned on him exactly what he needed to do.

“I get it, that is it. That power. I can feel it flowing over me. I can. Right. I can."

"I will not die and will certainly save everyone and protect you, Lale."

Fel rose as if from the dead. Surrounding himself with a kind of light that shone and drove away evil creatures. The wounds healed completely, miraculously. What the former servant discovered in himself is even more than Koala expected. Now he has become much stronger and can escape from the maze of despair.
