My Doomsday Farming Truck - Chapter 22
The middle-aged man followed Jaya closely as he watched Arther with vigilance, Arther felt as if he was seen through by this guy.
Jaya climbed up as Arther gave her a hand to pull her up, but he was not able to help much as he had forgotten that he was not the same as in past life. Jaya smiled seeing him helps and held his hand to climb up.
After both of them climbed up the gangsters were also following but Arther threw the rope down resulting in grave injuries to those following closely behind them.
“Follow me.”, Arther asked them to follow as he leaped on the nearby building. Jaya and the middle-aged man exchanged looks before Jaya followed Arther, the middle-aged sighed as he followed too. Seeing this Arther felt more and more confused as these guys were not as he had thought anyone in this condition would be. They had a very careless attitude and didn’t question him once. He increased his vigilance against them, he knew that this time if anything were to go wrong he will be in danger. Thinking about everything happening he felt he was a bit overexcited, he should have waited for this middle-aged man to fall and then save only one of them which can help a lot. But now he didn’t have any other choice, he will first try to take these people near to the place he had asked Robert to meet so that he can ask for help if necessary..
They kept running from one roof to another till they reached a small shop building, this was a single-story building with a balcony, it looked like a general store. Arther lept into the balcony and from there climbed down through the sewage pipe. Seeing Arther’s action Jaya was a bit surprised as it was not easy for everyone to do this kind of thing after running for a long time. And Arther was already huffing a while ago showing that he was at his end of the rope but still he can have the will to carry out such actions showed that he had strong willpower.
The middle-aged man also had an acknowledging look as he saw Arther, after thinking something he looked at Jaya who was also looking at Arther. His face had a conflicted look.
Arther looked at them and then entered an alley on the opposite side of the building. He waited for Jaya to come. After waiting for few seconds the middle-aged man spoke,
“What are your orders miss? gonna follow him, we are safe now so if you want to I can call the car here and we can leave, as you have got what we were here for.”
Jaya didn’t look at him, she was thinking about something, after a few moments of silence she smiled with a sigh, “You are right uncle I have found what I was here for, but it is not this stone.”
After speaking she didn’t look at him, she ran towards the alley. The middle-aged man had a confused expression but had to follow Jaya.
In the alley, Arther didn’t have to wait for a long time as he saw both of them walked inside. Seeing them Arther was relieved as he had given them this time to make sure they will not make any move when paying.
“I don’t know who you guys are and I am not interested in knowing, just give me what we negotiated about and we will leave our own ways”
“Hahaha, I surely will give you what we negotiated, but not here, you will have to help us hide for some time and then leave the city, after that I will give you this.” Jaya took the gem out as she spoke.
Seeing the gem Arther had a light in his eyes as she was in the range of merging but he didn’t do it as if he did his secrets will be exposed and he might even get caught. But what this lady in robe spoke also confused him.
After weighing the pros and cons Arther nodded, “I have something to do nearby if you want you can follow me. But you are not allowed to know anything or questioning anything. And if asked you will be introduced as my assistant and you uncle no need to talk.”,
Hearing what Arther said the middle-aged had a few bulges on his forehead but he was able to control himself as he knew this boy was of some use to Jaya.
“OK”,
Seeing Jaya agree Arther led them to the place he had agreed with Robert to meet at.
Robert was waiting along with Jack in front of the gate of the cities warehouse area. This was a place used by many businesses to store their goods, these warehouses can be rented by anyone on a contract basis.
“Why do you think Arther asked us to wait here instead of meeting in the shop?”, Jack asked Robert with a worried expression.
“I don’t know, but you can rest assured I know Arther for some time and he will not create any problems.”
“Hope so.”, Jack spoke as he observed his surrounding. A dozen people were hiding nearby. These were Robert’s people, they were called to protect the warehouse and Robert if needed as Jack had received the news of what had happened after the auction. He was worried that Arther has participated in something he shouldn’t.
As they were conversing with each other Arther walked towards them along with two more people from the other side of the street.
“Hello, Mr.Jack, I am sorry for the inconvenience but I had to leave the market for some reason and hence had to call you here”, Arther greeted Robert and Jack.
Robert exchanged the greeting but Jack was looking behind Arther, he felt he had seen the middle-aged man following Arther somewhere. And he has not seen them following Arther when they met first.
He wanted to ask for their identity but it will seem a bit impolite so he kept quiet.
Seeing Jack’s expression Arther knew what he wanted to ask, so he spoke first.
“Let me introduce these friends of mine, they are sent by the young master here to help me in my work. I hope you are comfortable with it, of course, they will not enter with us but will only help me chack the final product.”
“Sorry for the inconvenience Mr.Arther then”
After exchanging greetings and introductions All of them entered the warehouse area, there were many huge warehouses alongside the path, they looked like huge steel and cement containers, without many fancy constructions. Every warehouse had only one main gate which had a small gate on it. The small gate is used for people to enter and is manual, while the main gate is huge and is used for loading well it is hydraulically operated.
On entering the area the Jack led them to the 15th numbered warehouse which he used to store some goods. He had rented all the nearby 10 warehouses from number 5 to 15 used by Robert to store his assets but this warehouse was a bit empty so he asked his workers to move selected vehicles here in order to have some secrecy about the goods in other warehouses.
