As Veygo burned Cain started to check the camp for items which could be useful for him , as he moved around the camp he saw some butchered meat of some beast , few weapons such as bows , swords and axes . They weren't of great quality but could be used . Cain then entered a hut next to Veygo's cabin , there some clothes , good quality clothes , and a small chest having silver and gold welks [1000 bronze = 1 silver ; 100 silver = 1 gold ] . Cain took these clothes and wore them , it was a light brown full arm shirt and dark brown baggy pants . He looked like a typical peasant in this clothes , except his body structure made it look good on him . He took a pouch and filled it with coins and picked up a long iron sword .

Cain then moves to check Veygo's cabin to check it for valuables . There were two entrances inside he could feel presences here, he then rushed back and brought dark clothes to cover his face . He then first went down and checked . There were many people caged here in rotting jails . This place had a rotting smell emanated the place , Cain  then melted the locks of these jail cells and uttered to the prisoners just a sentence in apathetic tone

" Go and wait out of the camp for me" they all started to run away hearing this from a masked man no one questioned or thought of disobeying him.

Cain then went up to the other room which was decorated and had a huge bed in it's center where he saw women chained in torn clothes and with scars and burns on their body . There were even some who were chained to the walls. Looking at them with a little pity he asked them

"How many of you want to escape from here and live , i'm asking you all because i pity you all but don't expect me to help you all i just killed all the bandits" Hearing this a little smile appeared on these women's face  as they spoke

"It would be good if you just kill us all" with lifeless eyes and a small smile . Looking at this Cain took some valuables and then went out of the room . As Cain came out of Veygo's cabin , the cabin started to burn brightly in silence.

As Cain came out of the camp towards the prisoners who escaped , the whole camp started to burn brightly in crimson flames as they engulfed the whole camp . His eyes were glowing in a yellowish gold tint , he spoke to the prisoners

"You can all run away now , those who stay I'll kill them and put you all into these flames " hearing this all of them started to run away , then using air step  he started to jump and move away from the camp as it burned to nothingness.

As he was moving away , he spoke

"System , don't capture the souls of those women let them free"

[Yes]

"Well i guess i can relate to people , I did feel a little empathetic" He spoke as he started to move towards the  Wulfruric kingdom . Cain would undoubtedly bring people to a state similar to those woman in the future , but it would only be to those who attack him first . He wouldn't give a cruel death to people who are innocent and unrelated to him , he would kill them in one strike giving them a quick death . This may come out as hypocrisy but this was what he believed.

To kill any creature for food , our survival or for our greed always give it a quick death so it can die without experiencing horror  but never  to an enemy who bared his fangs at you as the horrific death of the enemy will serve as a warning to others . This was what he believed when he was young in his past life , but he suppressed the urge to torture his enemies as the society wouldn't accept it . But in this new world just might makes everything right and he had the potential to be the mightiest .

After a few hours of constant running ,

Cain reached the gates of the Wulfruric kingdom . There was a little crowd of people with the guards checking everyone for their identity . Cain blended in with the crowd and the started to make way towards a fat , white bearded middle aged looking guard and spoke while bowing a little and scratching his he spoke

"Sir Ned Speckter , I have 5 gold welks with me can you please make an exception" , this was because he had heard from Veygo this person helps to smuggle people in and out of the country.

Hearing this Ned looked at this man from top to bottom , he then pulled the man and spoke

"Wait here " and started to go to a place where he saw people moving large cargo pulling it with their own hands and Ned started to speak with a person in a grand carriage which was pulled by white horses which were blue stripes . After some time Ned signaled me to come close to that carriage .

In the carriage Cain a very large fat person smoking a in a large smoke pipe who was wearing clothes which looked like to be made of silk . This person looked like a wise merchant who was accessing  Cain's worth for each second he looked at Cain . Cain felt a little bit intimidated by him , suddenly Ned pressed  Cain's head making him bow to the person ahead of him

"You disrespectful brat !! bow and show respect , This person is the widely known Merchant Martin Dustberg  He has agreed to hire you for 200 bronze welks be grateful " interrupting him

"Show me your palm " In a calm but dominating manner Martin spoke ,Cain held his hand forward as Martin examined them .

"Hmm they are clear with no calluses , boy did you even work till now ?  Tsk , help the porters who are carrying heavy loads  " Martin told as he was staring at Cain as Ned spoke

"Thanks alot Sir Dustberg , i'll send that brat to the back " as Ned curled one of his arms around as he spoke slowly to Cain as he moved with Cain toward the back of the of the luggage carriers

"10 gold or i'll call the guards "Cain hearing this begged Ned

"Please , 5 is all i can afford please Sir " To this Ned showed a irritated face and told

"This is not a negotiation "Cain then acted slightly panicked and showed 6 gold welks and 5 silver welks and told

"Sir this is all i have so please agree for 5 go-"cutting him in the middle Ned grabbed all the coins and told

"This is enough now , lets make you carry the goods "Ned  started to signal the porters to give the goods to Cain as he started to hold all of them showing a face a displeasure.

This was all observed by a young lady as she was looking at those two from the carriage where She was sitting behind a veil which made that portion invisible to anyone  who didn't intently try to see that part.

Meanwhile in the carriage

The lady spoke to Martin

"Father , Why did you agree with that filthy guard ?He was obviously taking bribe from that black haired person" she spoke with a little disgust .

"Well that Ned helps us to smuggle goods in and out of the kingdom , so he is quite necessary and so he could meet me and also it was because of the other person"

"What about him ? "she asked with a indifferent tone . To this with a little smile Martin spoke

"He is the only person i've seen with eyes similar to Armin Wellsberg , he might not be related and even if that person is a criminal there isn't much people could do to us "  hearing this the lady started to get cold sweat and had shivers rundown her spine .

"Father , you can't be serious !? Armin Wellsberg was a 9th stage Saint Fire Archmage and he didn't have any family . And even i could make out that person was acting , this may bring us harm later" Seeing the state of his daughter Martin started to laugh and spoke

"Haha , if he has that potential, he will be grateful to us and helpful or ally with us or I could be doing this as he could make things fun in the kingdom as we stay here " and started to laugh while looking at his daughter who sighed and was looking at the floor in tension and despair
