Chapter 582: Chapter 581: Seeing the base run by criminals 4
Aside from those, they were also offered a bit more management rights and promised more supplies from that base.
Zam and the others hadn’t shown their full capabilities when they demonstrated some of what they could do, but they had still shown considerable strength compared to all the people in that base; so when they arrived, they were immediately offered management rights to entice them to join. Of course, those management rights actually weren’t those that were good, as they hadn’t even offered positions that could really affect that base.
But aside from promising those management rights, those who had talked to them also gave a lot of examples from their people, letting Zam and the others know that they would receive and could hold more power later after proving themselves and staying in that base for a long time.
According to Zam and the others, those that had tried to recruit them had even said that they won’t lack resources in that base either, so they don’t have to worry about having no supplies later on.
It seemed that those who were in charge of recruiting people to join their base were really good at their jobs, because they were all very good at exaggerating what they have and they were also good at tailoring their words for the people that they were recruiting.
Zam and the others had acted as if they weren’t really very good people, so those who talked to them said a lot of things that they could enjoy after entering the base.
Aside from that, because the looks of Vivian and Mia weren’t bad, they were also noticed, and those that were recruiting them also asked about them.
After telling them their story—that those two were in charge of relieving all the men in their team—those that were recruiting them became more proactive in telling them that they could see more beauties in their base and even showed those that were around them. And afterwards, they even offered to exchange Mia and Vivian for two new women who also have good looks, claiming that they could also have a change of taste.
Of course, Zam and the others didn’t agree and just told those people in the base that they were already used to the two women beside them, while saying that they would just try new people if they really planned to join that base.
After hearing that those people even wanted to exchange Mia and Vivian, Nathan and the others who were also listening to the report immediately cursed those people again.
While listening to the report, they had been cursing those people at that base every time they heard something that they didn’t like, and they had been cursing more while listening to the conditions that were offered to Zam and the others.
After the report of the offer that they received, they started reporting more things that they saw after they were able to move around, having talked to those people that had wanted to recruit them.
According to their report, after Zam and the others said that they wanted to move and see the base, those people arranged some people to act as their guides. They even chose to arrange those that still looked clean and had better looks than others.
Because they had some people acting as their guides, they managed to look around some of the open areas that were usually used by the people in that base.
According to their report, the open area they were seeing was mostly used by people to have their fun and, of course, it’s where most of them assembled when the base leader or others in charge had something to say in person or when arranging a lot of people in that base.
So, that base also has assemblies, but according to what Zam and the others heard, unlike the assemblies of other bases like the North Base—which would announce important news for the well-being of the people or other events—the base where Zam and the others were mostly used those assemblies for public punishment. According to what they had heard, those assemblies were mostly held when they were showing punishment to a lot of runaway slaves.
From what Zam and the others heard from someone, the base had frequently gathered people at the very beginning, showing a lot of people being punished for escaping and other things that were classified as punishable according to their standards.
However, because most of the people in that base were already very obedient, they hadn’t had those assemblies for a long time already, so most of the people were only using the wide open space for their own fun.
Aside from the open space, which had a lot of mixed people showing their own fun, the place where a lot of people had gathered was the trade market.
According to Zam and the others, the trade market of that base was just like the market of other bases where people could buy and exchange goods, but of course, there were also a lot of different things because of the style of that base. The most common difference is that unlike other markets, the market that they had seen actually includes people as commodities.
Aside from that obvious difference, according to the report, there is also a significant price variation for masters and slaves.
Those that were just slaves mostly had to pay five times more than the price of the goods for those so-called masters.
But even with such a huge price difference, Zam and the others hadn’t seen anyone objecting at all, and they only saw some people quietly buying what they needed, even though it was obvious that they didn’t even have that much for exchange anyway.
After visiting the trade market and seeing what they were selling and trading, Zam and the others had to let their guides take them to their accommodation because it was already evening.
Of course, even though they had obediently went back to their accommodation, not all of them stayed there; after they checked everything in their room, some went around to gather more information about the base.
Those that went out at night found out more things about the base by listening to the conversations of people at bars and other gathering places.
From their report, it was obvious that they managed to learn more after going out at night than when they went around in the morning.
While listening to the conversations of people around them, they learned some things about those that were really in charge of the base.
They learned that there were only three people who were really the core of that base: the base leader, the doctor, and another person whose identity wasn’t known by most of the people in the base, even though they were already masters and weren’t slaves who don’t have rights.
According to what they had heard, most of the time, the only ones appearing quite often, aside from the person who was the base leader from the very beginning, was a doctor whom they met somewhere.
However, according to those that had managed to talk to the people close to the leader, there was another one who is very vital to the development of the base, but they hadn’t seen him yet and don’t know what he looks like.
The third person’s identity wasn’t clear, so the report was mostly only about the leader and the doctor, as well as some of the people who were also very close to the leader.
According to what they heard, the base leader often only enjoyed himself with lots of women and rarely went out of the base, but his power was still very powerful.
As for the doctor, it seemed that he was very fond of studying and had used a lot of their slaves to test those that he had been researching.
Aside from those two, there was also some information about the twenty people who had been following the leader since the very beginning.
Afterwards, there were also reports about the buildings in the base and some of their uses. In the end, they reported that they will continue moving around for the next few days.
The information that they managed to collect wasn’t that in-depth yet, but they had already collected a lot even though they had only been in that base for a short period of time.
They probably hadn’t rested at all and had looked around all night; that’s why they managed to gather a lot of things about that base.
"It seems that there are fewer core members than I thought! Are we going to deal with them?" Nathan immediately asked while looking at Treyton.
"Let’s wait for more information first and wait for the others to come back. But if their numbers were really as what Zam and the others heard, then we could deal with them afterwards," Treyton answered while still reading the report again.
