Chapter 53
This training would be very different from the ones you usually do with other warriors and it can also be life-threatening so I hope you discuss with your father and give me an answer . "
Taylor sighed as he heard their conversation and he too knew what Jake would choose in the end and gave his opinion, "I think we should let Jake decide what he wants to choose for his future . "
Taylor looked at Jake meaningfully and said to him, "Go on, we are quite lucky this time that Baron John Bought us so you should be grateful to him for the opportunity given to us in the future, maybe it is fate that we are here today .
I think all of us here already know what you are going to choose as you already hate the weakness you experienced in the past and it is also because you still show your emotions from your eyes that they understand you . However, my only advice to you would be that never let your rage consume you and learn to control your emotions . "
Part of the reason why Taylor let him walk his own road was that he too understood that he was too weak to protect his family and understood that even if he rejected Jake, he would still train and risk his life to gain strength by other means .
Jake was surprised as he thought that his father would rather want him to help John in business operations and think about improving his status and then maybe think about revenge .
Jake thanked his father without saying anything but both of them could understand how they felt right now .
When Jake heard from John that he can become stronger with special training, he had already disregarded any pains which would follow him in training because he knew that if he wanted to gain something then he had to sacrifice something to gain it .
His past experience had already taught him that weakness was sin and justice can only be achieved if you have enough strength .
After John's proposal, Jake already reaffirmed John's position in his mind as he understood that John didn't want him to do his bidding but rather have his own free will and gave him two choices where he could decide where he wanted to take his path .
Jake bend his left knee, put his right palm on the left side of his chest saluting and said to John in front of everyone,
"Lord, I have already decided that I would like to serve you in this life and I hope to do your bidding in your absence where my presence is required . I hope to train under the tutelage of everyone present here as it would improve me with least risks and it would be better to train under your leadership rather than finding my own answers at the starting stage . "
This was one of the signs where one made an oath to a person in Arkon whether he was a lord or not .
Both Melanie and John were quite surprised by Jake's decision to make an oath to serve John as this required a lot of determination . John was surprised because it was the first for John to experience this current situation .
Melanie thought as she saw the scene folding before her eyes, 'It seems he made a correct decision to train this guy . He surely has a way to attract people towards him . '
People don't lack talented people working for them but they surely lack loyal people working for them this was what Melanie thought on the current situation .
Meanwhile, Vlad already understood what would happen after his previous encounter with slaves and only smiled in an all-knowing way as if it was saying he knew what was going to happen sooner or later .
Taylor expected his son to take this oath sooner or later as he understood Jake's mentality . He reciprocated good with good and bad with bad .
"You don't need to call me Lord, you can call me John like all my friends and people . This is my first time having someone give an oath to me however I would not reject your intentions . Since you have decided to serve me I would like to gift you my most precious technique which isn't available to others and it was only recently improved by me . I think this would suit you more . "
It was the improved version of the Six-senses Body refining technique which John had already improved many times over after he bought the improved versions of the technique and combined with his simulation system .
"Vlad, do you think Miss Diana and Duke Bluesea be interested in having our weapons in exchange for something else?"
to be honest Vlad was very much interested in those weapons but he didn't ask about them as he wanted to wait for a perfect opportunity to do a deal with them .
Vlad answered him in a serious tone, "I am very surprised that you are proposing to sell your weapons to us so early, What do you need in exchange for those weapons? If it is money then that won't be a problem for us . "
"Well how about a deal where you guys help us protect our industries and train our men from spies and in return, you guys can become the sole suppliers of all our products in the whole of Fire Abyss kingdom and additionally you guys can buy our weapons, i . e the ballista and catapults at production costs . "
Vlad thought after John's proposal, 'So that's how it is, he plans to build more industries and needs our help, well that is fair enough . Anyway since I have taken him as a disciple I should be considerate enough to him right now . '
"Well, this deal sounds good . You can bring in the papers so that we can finalize the deal . "
John signaled Taylor and he immediately bought some papers that were already prepared so that they can be signed at any moment .
After watching the already prepared papers Vlad understood why John displayed those Weapon blueprints in front of everyone yesterday .
'Quite a cunning boy, So he already predicted that I would agree to the terms . Well that's good enough to be my disciple'
Watching this from the sidelines Melanie scowled to Vlad and said to John, "Boy you are quite lucky that he isn't extorting you already, He always waits for people to approach him that's why he could always extort from people in the past, don't be so trusting already even if he is your master now .
This way they concluded their talk and went back to their own business . Meanwhile, Melanie stayed at Mansion to experience some of the food which was famous among all the people in the town .
The servants in the Mansion treated Melanie with utmost care as they knew she was John's master . During this time, she also saw the peculiarity in all the furnitures inside the mansion .
These furnitures were very different from all the luxurious things she saw in the palace and they looked quite good .
Meanwhile, Ryfon finally got a chance to meet John after John concluded his meeting with Jake and others .
After some time John met Ryfon in one of the rooms,
