Chapter 54: Chapter 49: Ben: You Are My Goose...Who Lays Golden Egg.
(A/N): Guys, sorry for the late update.
I was unable to upload new chapters due to a network problem which left me unable to use my Airtel X-stream fiber for the past 15 days.
I will try my best to upload the chapter regularly on Friday and Saturday.
*******************************
After leaving the outskirts of the witch forest in Dorothy's cloud which she summoned using her magic and usually sat or lay down lazily, Ben looked at the hidden task which showed was completed by the system before his eyes.
"____"
'Did she notice us? Even though both of us stayed pretty much outskirt when we stayed in there... if she knew us why did the witches in the forest didn't show up to arrest us.'
Ben went into deep thought because according to his memory from the Black Clover manga or anime, he watched his previous life which confused him very much.
According to the foreknowledge he had the witches in the witch forest were very hostile towards men.
If someone transgresses into the forest the witches won't hold back from attacking them and bringing them to justice.
'And what's with the title of the mission entertaining the witch queen. And how did I entertain her.'
Looking at the title of the mission Ben was even more confused thinking when he entertained her.
Swoosh~
After travelling for a few hours both of them arrived at the gate of the Blue Rose base and the cloud in which both Dorothy and Ben were travelling descended.
Thud~
"Thanks for the lift, Dorothy."
After the cloud descended Ben jumped from it to the ground and thanked Dorothy for her lift.
"It's fine Ben. I enjoyed our time together in the witch forest."
With a slight teasing smirk forming on her face Dorothy teased him and turned and left without waiting for Ben's answer.
"____"
'Why do I feel like she pressed deliberately the last part of her sentence a little loudly.'
Raised his eyebrow slightly suspicious about the sudden weird way Dorothy spoke and left in a hurry.
"____"
'Are you kidding me?'
When Ben turned around his eyes landed on two figures behind two trees on one side beside the forest.
He saw Sol and Charlotte who were hiding behind the two trees and two ears were trying to peer enough to hear the conversation between Ben and Dorothy.
Cough~ cough~
"Charlotte, Sol uh... what are you guys doing?"
With dead eyes set on their half-assed hiding posture Ben called them with a deliberate cough.
Shiver~
Shiver~
When Ben called them their body shivered in embarrassment and stood up stiffly.
"Ben! You are back. We were just searching for something here."
With an awkward laugh avoiding his eye contact Charlotte tried her best to come up with a reason embarrassedly.
"We were looking for a pendant... yeah pendant... my pendant earlier when I was chatting with the sister she accidentally dropped it. Now we are searching this area to find it. It's not like we are eavesdropping on your conversation..."
With a serious face forming a cross sign using her hands Sol came to the aid of Charlotte.
Ouch~
But when Sol started to blabber about their real intention of being there Charlotte delivered a swift kick to her toe which startled her and stopped speaking nonsense.
Cough~
"Ben... I accidentally heard a little of your conversation with Dorothy."
With a cough hiding her embarrassment Charlotte diverted the topic but narrowed her eyes when mentioning Dorothy's name. Ben could sense irritation in her voice.
"____"
"Did you enjoy your sweet time with her alone?"
With a dark aura suddenly emitting from her with a gentle smile on her face which is not Ben could see a purple scary-Oni face behind her.
Facing the full brunt of this ominous aura from Charlotte Ben immediately shook his head in a hurry denying it when he started to sweat profoundly.
Snort~
With a snort Charlotte with a pout on her face looked at Ben with narrowed eyes.
"Well, you can meet your sweet Dorothy whenever you feel lonely hereafter."
Without waiting for Ben to explain Charlotte turned and left with an angry look on her face.
"You are right sister. No men in the world deserve you."
Nodding her head in understanding Sol enthusiastically ran behind Charlotte supporting her decision.
"Call me Captain, Sol!"
Charlotte scolded Sol who called her sister.
"Yes, Captain."
Not being offended by Charlotte's scolding with a wide smile on her face Sol followed Charlotte back.
Sigh~
With a defeated sigh Ben turned his attention to the system by opening it and accepted the reward for the hidden task of entertaining the witch queen.
[Ding...]
[Reward being distributed...]
[FP Bar: 450/500] --> [New Alien: ???]
Looking at the FP bar where still fifty FP points needed to unlock new alien transformation Ben closed it.
Seeing that the last time when he saw the FP bar it was at 290 but now it went up to 450 Ben narrowed his eyes.
"Hey, system can you explain why my FP points increased this much? Even though I completed the hidden mission the reward is 100 FP points. I can see my FP bar has 60 points extra."
Not wasting any time pondering on it Ben asked his system a little sceptically.
Because except for providing the mission or giving a reward the system has not communicated with him.
[Ding...]
[It is because of your previous encounter with the man named Den Bitch from the noble family Bitch. Your reputation among the commoners in the capital increased. Which caused an increase in your FP points.]
"____"
Reading the explanation on the screen before him Ben became silent for a few seconds.
Hehe~
Hahahaha~
'Finally... finally... I found the goose who laid the golden egg.'
Hahahaha~
Ben started laughing loudly while his both arms were wide open like a mad scientist.
Clover Kingdom's capital...
Shiver~
After being reprimanded by his uncle Mark Bitch, who is the current family head of the Bitch family, Den suddenly shivered and had a very bad feeling that something bad was going to happen.
After a month...
"I curse you, Ben... you will not have an easy death."
Den Bitch was being dragged into a cell in the carriage by Peggy and Selena, who were looking at him with disgust.
"Shut up..."
With a strong tone, Sol delivered a kick straight to the face of Den Bitch, who was shouting and cursing Ben with red eyes.
"Kid... don't forget about my share. Otherwise..."
Puff~
With a puff of smoke, Yami, the captain of the Black Bulls, took a few puffs from his cigarette, his dead eyes reminding Ben.
"Don't worry, Captain Yami, you will like my present, which I have already sent to your base."
Nodding his head, Ben informed him that he had already sent Yami's promised share to his squad base.
"Then I will take my leave."
Puff~
Getting his answer, Yami walked towards Finral, who opened a portal using his magic, and both of them passed through it.
Flashback...
A few days before, Ben approached Yami, requesting his help to track Den Bitch's slave market.
Ben coincidentally came to know that Den Bitch was running a slave market illegally and supplying various types of slaves in the capital.
He requested Yami's help with tracking down Den Bitch's slave syndicate in a small bar where Yami was gambling along with his squad member Magna.
With the promised share, Yami gladly accepted Ben's proposal, being nearly nude after losing all his money and clothes gambling.
From that day, Yami helped him track down the main base of Den Bitch's slave syndicate headquarters.
After reporting it to the Wizard King Julius, who ordered the joint operation between the Blue Rose and Black Bulls.
From Blue Rose, Ben, Selena, and Peggy were assigned, and from Black Bulls, Yami and Finral were assigned to the task.
Since Yami is a captain, only Finral accompanied him on the task.
Flashback ends...
[Ding...]
[Taskbar:
Task Name: Destroy The Slave Syndicate.
Task Completion Rate: 100% (completed)
Reward: 60 FP Points.]
[Ding...]
[Reward Being Distributed...]
[FP Bar: 510/500] --> [New Alien: ???]
[Ding...]
[Reward Being Distributed...]
[New Alien: Buzz Shock.] {image here}
[FP Bar: 10/500] --> [New Alien: ???]
[Ding...]
[Special Task: Defend The Innocent.
Task Description: After saving the slaves from the slave syndicate, prove their innocence in court from the false accusation of being spies from another kingdom.
Reward: Lightning Attribute.]
Even though Ben was happy he unlocked a new alien after waiting for so long, his face turned dark as he read the description of the special task.
'Fucking bitches...'
He cursed in his mind, seeing the task, and could easily understand that those corrupted nobles were going to play a dirty game in the court trial.
"Just you wait. I will prepare a special gift for you guys at the court."
With a wide smile on his face, Ben's mind started to work fast, trying to come up with a plan to defend the innocence of the freed slaves.
