Chapter 149: The Changing Life Of The Slum Dweller

Not far from the Fast-food restaurant that the three women spending their lunch, in front of the school entrance, a single mother standing and waiting silently for her child to came out, just like the other adults nearby.

She was the Manager of the newly open Elli's Fast-food restaurant in Arkhaim town, as well as the mother of Lala, Agatha.

Upon meeting Alex, her life changed a lot right now.

The hard-working charming single mother, who struggled in the past five years by living in poverty with her daughter,  now became full-time employed and being a manager with a decent income.

[Agatha? Is that really you?!]

Agatha who was waiting silently under the shadow of the tree near the school entrance suddenly turned her head to the voice direction, after hearing someone called her name.

Once she turned her head, a middle-aged man who had a wrinkled face, and well-trimmed hair, greeted her sight.

At first, she didn't recognize the face of the middle-aged man, but after observing it more carefully, it turned out to be her neighbor when she still lived at the Slum.

It couldn't be helped if she failed to directly recognize him.

His appearance was already changed into a proper and healthy middle-aged man, unlike the fully bearded and dirty old man she used to remember when they were still living in the slum.

That's why Agatha took time before she recognized the middle-aged man who just called her name.

[Uncle Bob? Ah, it turned out uncle Bob also moved into Sir Alex city! you've really changed! isn't Uncle Bob looks 10 years younger? I'm glad that you're well and all~]

[hohoho, it's really you Agatha.

About my appearance, well, I should dress more properly right now to start a new life here~

I see...

It seems Agatha also moved here…

But, I wonder why I didn't see your appearance during the disciplinary camp?]

Disciplinary camp.

Hearing this word, Agatha realized that some of the slum dwellers who want to work for sir Alex need to take strict training, and discipline on this city military camp first, to make them into a new person who can really work here.

Unlike them, Agatha moving to this city with another method, which was taking Alex's magic power brand, and work directly under him.

At first, she thought this brand was working the same as the slave contract, but it turned out it was not the case at all.

Actually, there's a lot of benefits she got once she branded with Alex's magic power.

Once she got Alex's magic brand, she had her raw status increased to a terrifying level that only a combatant job possessed.

Along with her increased strength, she also became understand a brand new mysterious language that used here, in this city.

This language will help her to understand the Online course as well as the book in the public library, in this city.

She already knew it from Alex woman who works at the management office, without Alex brand, one needs to learn this language manually.

Apparently, this basic language course was also taught at the Disciplinary Camp who Slum-dwellers used to attend before. 

Actually, there's some long and deep consideration before Agatha choosing this path to work directly under Alex.

When Alex visited the newly open Elli's fast food restaurant, that day, Alex gave a proposal for her.

Alex offered her a chance to work under him directly and moving with Lala to his hidden city.

Alex said that he really admires her diligence and decided to offer her a high-position job that needed her to take more responsibility in the future, that's why Alex gave Agatha time for her to decide carefully.

Even though the offer about the possibility of getting a high salary job was very tempting for her, but the thing about living in Alex's hidden city was what really piqued her interest a lot.

She once heard it from Lala, about the existence of a beautiful and mysterious city with a lot of high towering buildings.

Even though Lala can't see it closely by herself, but the silhouette of the building amazed her greatly.

Though Lala's description of this city was quite vague, however, she began coming to understand that this city Alex built was no ordinary when she heard Lala mentioned about have been taught new strange knowledge in her school.

Just like other Slum dwellers who had children, Agatha knew that Alex helped their children to get free education in his mysterious hidden city.

At first, the slum dweller didn't believe Alex's "too good to be true" proposal.

But after convinced by Anna, they decided to believe in Alex and send their child to had free education in his secret place.

Anyway, the thing about their child will get a free meal tempted them a lot, as it will reduce the burden to feed their children for them.

This thing aside, Agatha believed that Alex possessed an incredible secret as this young man was more mysterious than she thought.

Considering the unknown advanced knowledge, and the vague thing described by Lala about Alex's hidden city, she believed by moving to the city this mysterious young man built, will change their life to be better for sure.

Not only that, but she also thought a lot about her daughter, Lala.

Even though living in the decent dorm which was provided to the staff working in the restaurant, was quite good, but as expected, after seeing Lala taking a magic carriage every day to an unknown place she can't see for school was quite worrying a lot for her.

That's why, maybe if she and Lala moved into Alex's city, it will be more convenient for Lala, and she also could observe her daughter without worry.

Thus, it didn't take too long for her to accept Alex's offer and be branded with his Magic power before taking Lala to move into his hidden city.

Looking at her now living condition, it seems her decision and intuition prove her right.

Reminiscent about what her life turned in the past few days, Agatha realized that Uncle bob in front of her still waiting for her answer as he tilting his head curiously.

And so, Agatha sobered up from her trance state.

[Ah, Uncle Bob, I'm sorry, I just lost in my thought for a while…

About that, I-I decided to work directly under Sir Alex, so he permits me to directly moving here with Lala!

Right now, I still do my job as the manager of his new restaurant on Arkhaim town while learning some stuff to proceed on my career later in this city] 

[Ooooh! I glad to hear it! congratulation Agatha!

These past couple of years is really hard for you, I'm glad that you get this opportunity! I know you're a hardworking person!

It seems sir Alex really has good eyes at people! Hohoho!

…

But..

learning is it?

….

Sigh…

I thought I already learned a lot throughout my life, but once I came into this city, I realized there's a lot of things in this world that I still didn't know!

hohoho!

I begin to understand that Sir Alex is a really amazing person who had a lot of wisdom in a wide and vast area! hohoho!]

[Right, I couldn't agree more.

He is really not an ordinary person.

I wonder if all the Grandmaster powerhouse has this terrifying wisdom and intelligence to create a wonderful city like this?

Leaving that aside, Uncle Bob, how about the result of your test? Did you get a job that suited you here?]

[Oh! It seems you hear about our circumstance in here after all!

hohoho! Apparently, after knowing that I used to be a blacksmith from my test, the management office decides to place me in some facility here to help forge for them.

The pay is very decent, I glad that I take this job.

Maybe my pay is higher than when I still have my own blacksmith shop back then.

…

Sigh…

Still, it's not quite easy to move here…

.....

The Disciplinary Camp is truly a hell!

I thought after the Silver Wolf member left with Sir Alex, we can finally have some days off before we finished the camp...

Who knows that a new instructor suddenly replaced them!

Especially the giant instructor that wearing a mask!

He was very strict and scary!

I wonder if he's an ogre!

…

Anyway, after passing that training, I get a decent job and stop being jobless, I guess it's quite worth it.

These days, finding someone who wants to hire dirty people like us that coming from the slum is quite rare after all]

[Hmm…

I understand Uncle Bob feeling really well.

Until this day, I'm glad that I can meet with Sir Alex on that certain day~

Guess I have to thank Lala for this huhuhu~]

[Right, at first, I thought he is just trying to use us and exploiting us, who knows that he is really a benevolent person.

Furthermore, giving free education to our children.

It couldn't be helped if some people here started calling sir Alex as the incarnation of God that help us, the bullied and poor people and creating a paradise to anyone who served him, in secret]

[Eh? Is that rumor really true?

I thought it's just their exaggerated rumor?

After all, I heard it a lot from the people who came here before us that sir Alex didn't like it when people worship him like a God though~]

[That's why those people called him like that secretly!

anyway, I heard that some of them even creating an idol for sir Alex.

Still, looking at how he built this city and helping a lot of people to get a better life, even I couldn't help myself to believe that what they said is actually true!

Maybe, he is really the incarnation of God who built his paradise in this secret place!]

Hearing Uncle Bob, the used to be a neighbor of her in the Slum started praising Alex that highly, she started to recall the memory when she first meeting him until now.

Without knowing, her face started to redden and hot for an unknown reason to her.

[Hohoho~

I think you should take this opportunity and chase your love!

You know, I heard a lot of rumors that Sir Alex prefers a mature and beautiful woman like you, Agatha!

So, Fighting!

Grab him tightly okay? I will root for you!

Just please don't forget this Uncle Bob later if you succeed okay? Hehehe~]

Uncle Bob teased.

Looking at the cunning face as well as hearing the teasing of the middle-aged man in front of her, Agatha couldn't help herself trying to retort.

[Uncle Bob! Yo->

-

[Mamaaaaaaa!!! Ywou ar hweree!!]

But, just as Agatha wanted to retort, a bright girl child-like voice suddenly interjected her.

Hearing how familiar the voice was, Agatha turned her head and saw Lala running toward her with a bright face and wide smile plastered on her cute face.

[Lala!]

Agatha grabbed Lala's little body and taking it into her embrace tightly as she lifting her up.

At this moment, seeing the happy face and wide smile of Lala, she couldn't help herself to recall Alex's face in her mind.

Maybe, he is really the incarnation of God like what people said.

But to Agatha, in her heart, Alex is more than god for her.

He is her everything…

She knew that maybe her feeling for him will be deeply buried inside her heart for her to yearn, but still, her love for Alex will not change.

Even if this feeling might make her stayed as a single mother forever...
