Ocean Master - Chapter 354
With the Dwarf Merchant dead, including all the guards that originally guarded the secret base, Sebastian’s business transaction was a success.
The greatest obstacle to this business transaction originally was how to keep the Merchant silent after the transaction was made, now that this was taken care of, the transaction was officially completed.
Not only did he get all the documents to prove his ownership of the secret base, but he also got to keep his money which was a double gain.
This did not leave behind an empty secret base to him though. The Dwarf Merchant and his guards were not the only persons who stayed here in this secret base, the secret base encompassed a lot more than just guards.
Apart from the aforementioned predators and variant humans, there were even more of them in this secret place, the doctors and anatomists who kept the secret base running.
This secret base was no mere secret base, it was not a military base either, it was rather a base where the Dwarf Merchant engaged in his weird tendencies and was also another business pool to him.
From the investigation that Sebastian made during the past month, he was able to thoroughly understand the secret base and plan his business transaction process with the Dwarf Merchant.
Apparently, a few months ago, this secret base was a secret anatomy base where a group of anatomists that were gathered from different backgrounds of life was captured and forced to work for a secret organization.
In here, they got to work on extremely secretive anatomical experiments that were exclusive to the secret organization, or even taboo experiments.
The whole secret base was the perfect anatomical lab for anatomists. Everything inside it was designed and finetuned to favor anatomists and anatomical works above everything else.
A few months ago, the representatives of the secret organization that monitored the anatomists working under them lost contact with the organization.
After relentlessly trying different ways to contact their headquarters but to no avail, the spooked representatives decided to go incognito, assuming that the worst had happened to their organization.
By going incognito, they successfully cut off all contact with their mother organization, preventing whatever problem there to spill over but this also made them vulnerable to external threats.
External threats were numerous, and the representatives were unfortunate enough to meet one in the form of the Dwarf Merchant.
This ruthless merchant attacked once he confirmed that his forces were more than the opposition. In his perspective, a secret base of such massive size built in a remote region like this must contain a lot of riches.
Unfortunately, though, after annihilating the representatives and taking over, the Dwarf Merchant was disappointed to discover that this base was actually one massive anatomical lab.
Frustrated and disappointed, the Dwarf Merchant originally wanted to annihilate all the anatomists and put an end to it all but he discovered a different and more radical use for them.
Just like on earth, in Oceania, the business of selling organs thrived.
With a spark of inspiration, the Dwarf Merchant easily decided to branch into this business. Throughout the first few months, everything was easygoing and he got a lot of benefits until things started slowing down and even stagnating.
Frustrated, the Dwarf Merchant complained outside the base, revealing stupid hints here and there which was how others knew of this secret base.
Others were not interested enough in a giant lab and a bunch of anatomists to offend the highly connected Dwarf Merchant, but Sebastian was different.
Once he knew of this, all he needed to do was to draft an elaborate plan to win as swiftly as possible without triggering any alarms.
In doing this, Sebastian also intended to take over the identity of the Dwarf Merchant. This was a highly connected merchant, taking over his identity could bring so many benefits that Sebastian was reluctant to forfeit.
With his doppelganger-creating unique skill, Sebastian was confident in doing this without revealing too much.
This was the perfect example of killing 2 birds with one stone. Not only did he get the lab and the anatomists, but he also got the Dwarf Merchant.
The main reason why Sebastian decided to take this massive anatomy laboratory was to prepare for his upcoming 2nd living doppelganger creation.
All the discoveries that he made during the past month; Sebastian wanted to apply them all in his new living doppelganger creation. Making his vessel of war as powerful as possible was his goal.
Also, he wanted to turn this secret base into his first major anatomy secret hideout where he could engage in all his experiments without qualms.
With his Atlantian body in charge, he would make sure that a lot of things were in order such as finalizing his research on integrating a 2nd mana core into a mutated beast among others.
Another fact that left Sebastian happy was that he leveled up once again after the unique skill rampage that he just went on.
[Current Level: Level 25.]
“So, we won?”
Sebastian turned to face his assistant. “Yes, we won”.
“Let’s go meet the anatomists then”.
“Ok”.
Sebastian and his assistant swam away.
…
Throughout, from when the battle started till the end, the anatomists watched everything. Once the battle started, they left all their work behind and rushed to hide inside the underground safety bunkers.
Here, they managed to safeguard all their lives despite the tremors that were induced by the battle. Also, they were able to watch everything.
They already knew that they had a new master already. They all sighed sorrowfully, another round of torture to a different master was starting.
Since they were captured and forced to come and work in this secret anatomy lab, their lives kept on degrading from good to worse.
At this moment, they had no choice, the lead anatomist rallied them.
“You all know the drill”.
“Put up your biggest and most sincere smile, let’s welcome our new masters. If you still love your lives, you better cooperate”.
Clang!
Once the massive gate that led to the underground shelter was opened, all the anatomists greeted respectfully.
“Welcome, esteemed master, we are at your service!”
“…”
They were stunned at the sudden silence. All their previous masters immediately started talking arrogantly once they welcomed them, what was different in this new master?
It only them seconds to see the difference and answer their question.
“My name is John Cena, a certified senior anatomist”.
“Don’t panic, I came to rescue you from the hands of your oppressors. I came so that we can express our passion in the most direct manner possible”.
“I won’t allow any of you to leave alive, but I will not maltreat you like your previous masters either. I came here to pursue my passion, and I hope all of you are of the same mind since that will allow us to flow together”.
“I intend to create a huge anatomy organization in the future”.
Sebastian smiled. “If you impress me enough, you may be freed from your slaved worker status and become a legitimate member of my organization”.
“In here, I work with results”.
“I hope we enjoy a good time working together”.
“Now, let’s set this place up”.
“Yes, Master John Cena!” The anatomists were fired up.
