Rise Of The Infinite Sovereign

"Mr. Cabrera, since you're done, you should head downstairs"

The assistant said, pulling Cabrera out of his reverie.

"The sentinel asked me to give this to you" he said, handing her the note.

Then, the note shined brightly for a moment, before losing its luster and crumbling into unseen particles, which dissipated into the air as she stared at me for a moment, before turning around and saying…

"Follow me"

And after her I went.

As we stopped on the third floor, she said…

"What items will you need?"

I quickly began to state all the things needed for the expedition, and the first was…

"First, I need a residence and a shop" I said.

"Then follow me" she said as we went to meet another woman.

"Jenny, this man is looking for a residence to buy, as well as a shop"

"Oh, it's you Amy. Been a while. So this is the man who wants to buy a residence and a shop?"

"Yes I am" I replied because she seemed to be ignoring Cabrera's presence.

"Okay, you won't find anywhere better than here to do so. So, what price range and specifications are you looking for?"

"From fifty to two hundred thousand gold" Cabrera said.

"Ok, from fifty to- what?!" she abruptly stopped when she processed what he said, wondering if she heard it right, but Cabrera didn't even wait.

"I want a guild house with alchemy labs, four blacksmiths forges, a large underground space and an expansive width and height of half of a mage Tower" he paused and said…

"Did you get all that?"

"Yes, I think so…" she said, realizing that this customer wasn't a regular one.

"Good, I also want a shop to be constructed in Traxford. Is there any with the seven floors available?" Cabrera asked.

"No, none are" she said.

"Ok, then, how much would the construction of such a thing cost?"

"Hmm…" she closed her eyes to make calculations for about a minute, before saying…

"400,000 gold coins at least and 2,500,000 gold at most at most. It is so high because you'll also have to buy the land it will be built on"

"Hmm, please give her 5,000 platinum" Cabrera said to Amy, who merely nodded in response, before turning back towards Jenny…

"You'll begin the construction in a few months' time when I give the order. Till then, just have those who will build it at arm's length"

"Okay, Sir" Jenny answered.

"What about the residence?"

"That will also have to be built. There is no building available that fits all those requirements"

"For how much?"

"500,000 gold at least and 4,500,000 gold at most"

"Hmm, where are the cheapest plots available in this city?" he asked.

"Hmm, those are all situated in the outer ring section"

"What about the slums? Is that land for sale?" he asked.

"Hmm, I'm not sure, because no one has ever tried to buy it"

It was exactly what he told Ezra.

"But how much do you think it's worth?"

"Hmm, well, considering all factors, it couldn't be more than 10,000, no, it might sell for 5,000 because the empire will be happy to relieve themselves of such a burden"

Cabrera's eyes shone as he got unexpected information that would be very useful when they bought it out.

"Amy, give her another 2,500 platinum for the construction of the residence. You'll wait for my instructions just like for the shop" Cabrera said as Amy nodded and Jenny gave her perfunctory "Yes Sir"

'I'm done here. Now…what's next?' Cabrera thought as he said…

"Amy, I need to buy soul scrolls and one spatial ring" Cabrera said as Amy nodded and moved to another room.

This one had more than a hundred scrolls of different types hung on the walls.

"Hello, oh it's you Amy, what brings you here?"

An old man in white robe was the one who attended to them this time.

The one questioned, Amy, merely pointed toward Cabrera as the old man took his queue and asked…

"What is it I can do for you, Sir?"

The 'Sir' was added because he knew whoever Amy was escorting was no ordinary person.

Cabrera quickly shook away his gaze from the multitudes of scrolls as he said…

"I want to buy some scrolls, as well as a spatial ring"

"Spatial rings range from 20,000 gold all the way up to 1,500,000 gold, while scrolls are of many kinds and for different uses. Some are for sealing, some for healing, some for killing, some for stealing, some for casting, some for-"

"I need soul scrolls, and I'll take the 50,000 gold spatial ring" Cabrera cut him when he saw that this grandpa was a serious talker.

"You should have just said so, this way please" he said as he moved to one of the doors on what I thought was the hall's wall and walked inside.

Amy followed and I did so soon after.

It was a place packed with scrolls, and all of them were soul scrolls.

They were placed on shelves according to their quality, from copper to a very few Epic gold scrolls.

"So, which one is it?" the old man said.

Cabrera was constantly having his horizons widened. And he was sure that, if not for the soul contract binding, he would have forgotten what he needed to buy.

He shakes his head to throw away all his ridiculous thoughts before asking…

"How many copper scrolls do you have currently?"

"Hmm, we have five thousand, give or take"

"Give me everything, and put it in my spatial ring" Cabrera said nonchalantly.

"That would be a hundred gold, each being two silver"

"I understand" Cabrera was telling him to do it. Then he asked how much dark gold scrolls were.

"3,000 gold each" the old man said.

"Give me twenty pieces" Cabrera requested.

"That'll be 60,000 gold" he said, confirming my purchase.

"I understand" I affirmed.

"So, everything adds up to… 110,100 gold coins"

"Amy, give him 1,101 platinum coins" I said and, unlike before, Amy moved and spoke in the man's ear.

After which, he smiled at me and said…

"I'll be right back" before rushing into another room and rushing back with a small black box, which he opened to reveal a blue ring.

"Try it on" the old man said as I took the ring and wore it on my index finger, and what do you know? It was a perfect fit.

"Now put mana into it" he said, and I did. I saw the space inside the ring and instinctively knew how to use it.

I moved it above the pile of scrolls I bought and…they were sucked in at once and I felt them enter the ring.

"It works fine" I said.

"Of course it does" the man replied, implying that it was obvious.

"Amy, I need to buy some magical herbs"

—-----------------

"Huuuu" Cabrera exhaled as he lied down on his bed. He began thinking about today's events.

He had bought magical herbs worth 10,000 gold, as well as two gold mana techniques and three Dark-gold ones for another 200,000 gold.

Of course, he made sure to make himself inconspicuous by drinking a disguise potion and putting on peasant clothes. He even hid the spatial ring in his mouth.

He immediately went to the place where he and the boys had been staying as he found that he was completely worn-out.

'Acting…isn't easy' thought Cabrera.

He could have died multiple times if he hadn't been careful or had said a wrong statement.

'All those people are monsters'

For him, who was just in the Halfway into the Advanced stage, those guys were beasts, ready to bite him up at any sign of weakness.

Each one was at least Expert rank.

As he recalled, his mind started becoming agitated by doubt, before he calmed himself down and said…

"It's do or die at this point, plus, I'm already in too deep, and most importantly, I was warned"

He said, throwing the thought to the back of his mind as he counted the remaining coins.

'Out of the 25,000 platinum, I have…let's see…12,000 platinum left, no..that seems wrong, well its least 10, 000 platinum'

'Hmm, that's quite a lot. I have to say, the boss really knows how to splurge…that too, on other people's money, kekeke'

Cabrera laughed when he thought of the end result of the entire scheme.

In reality, the remaining amount is far beyond just 'a lot'.

'Now, what's next on the list?' he thought about the next part of the plan and two things popped up.

'I'll have to go and tie down those alchemists…and also, Nathan should be arriving tomorrow' he thought, before he suddenly recalled something.

'Wait, it's been one month since I sent that message the boss gave me. That guy, what was it again…Sebastian, yeah, Sebastian should be arriving by the end of next month if things go according to plan'

"Now, time to check on Fredrick and hand him these things"

Cabrera said as he disguised himself once more and went to their old bar, which had now been renovated into a secret school, where the beggar kids are learning fast and were much healthier.

The door was always locked tight, as almost no sound could be heard from within.

Another one of Ezra's doing.

"Fredrick" Cabrera called out as entered the bar, which had been turned to a large hall that housed the twenty plus slaves.

The atmosphere was joyous with the giggles and laughter of the children, who were eating.

Cabrera smiled as one of the slaves came to inform him of Fredrick's absence and that he won't be back till after dusk.

So, Cabrera dropped everything he bought into the now empty vault, except the ring, while giving the keys to James, who had grown the most mentally throughout the last month.

With one last look, Cabrera went to look for the Alchemists that he would try convincing to to work for him.

The pieces were almost in place for the grand scheme to take effect, while the mastermind was back in the castle with his mother, but still training tirelessly every day while collecting weekly reports from Fredrick.

The scheme of a five year old would soon cause chaos throughout the empire.
