16 Chapter 16 - The Summoning of Treasures!

"Im too awesome" whispered Theo silently to himself. Actually, he wasn't really angry or mad. He had already taken into consideration that some of the villagers would not agree with what he is doing, which is normal as he is only a newcomer in this village that arrived yesterday. His actions could be viewed as usurping the leadership in the village and thus bringing about the current situation right now.

Theo was however, surprised by the unexpected ability that he unlocked accidentally, which is the [Ruler's Mode] and the Sub-Ability [Ruler's Dignity]. With the aura he is exuding now, the perfect sentence he had cooked up last night to convince these rebels will now work like a charm. This is truly unexpected, and so he couldn't help but to smile wide.

He raised his hand in a motion for the masses to stop what they are doing, while retracting his aura to a minimum, in case the pressure he keeps on exuding will send the people into puppets that obeys him only because of fear and not of his leadership, which is not the result he wanted.

"Do you know why I said what I said?" Theo asked the ten men in a solemn voice, obviously wearing the look of a father trying to reprimand his naughty children.

"Please, enlighten us Lord Theodore!" replied Jerald in a subservient tone. No longer showing disrespect and contempt. As was the looks of everyone right now.

Reclining back onto his chair and sitting upright, with both of his arms laid down neatly onto the armrest, Theo began to speak.

"That is because I am angry, not because of your previous disrespecting actions but because of you people not taking care of this village well enough!" creasing his brows together, he continued to speak.

"Look at the villagers, especially the women and children, they look feeble, thin and weak! They are hungry! As guardians of this village, have you guys no shame?!"

Theo highlighted that 'shame' in his sentence. This is because, while he is trying to subdue the rebel, in all honesty, what he said came deep from the bottom of his heart.

"..."

The ten men looked downwards to the ground, expression somber. It looks like they too realized this.

"I asked of the village head to prepare you ten men, to hunt the rabbits today, not for my benefit, but for this village! The meat from the rabbits will feed these people!"

"So what if the rabbits would appear waves after waves? Don't tell me that you people think I do not have any sort of plans to stop them?!"

"I have ruled the upper realm! I have survived onsloughts after onsloughts from dangerous entities that you people will never even began to imagine their horrors. I have triumphed them all to every single one of those bloody battlefields and massacres through each calculated strategies that defy even the heavens itself! This matter regarding those foolish rabbits? Exterminating them all would only took a flip from my palm, even the whole great forest will burn to ashes!"

"Yet, I did not. Why? Because I understand opportunities more than anyone! If I were to stole the opportunity for you people to grow, wouldn't the heavens curse me?!"

"Thus, I am giving everyone here a chance. A chance to escape from this cycle of poverty! Don't tell me, that no one here wishes for a life better than this, yet no one, not even you guardians, are willing to extend the miles and blood, to make those dreams becomes true?!"

"Have you guys no shame?!"

Theo spoke continuously with each sentence battering deep into the hearts of every single one of them. Slowly realizing, how wishy-washy they are, how useless they are, and that they deserve this scolding.

Suddenly, a look of determination appears on the eyes of everyone on the hall, their teeths gritted together, their fists clenched tight. A roaring will to change their damned lives began to burn in them like the blazing sun in the sky!

Sensing this, Theo knew that his plans worked. Thus, he felt that it was now time to conclude this farce and settle it once and for all.

"Do you all realize now?! Do you all want this change?!" Theo shouted out loud this sentence. Once again, his majestic aura erupt like a thunder.

"WE WANT CHANGE!"

Shouted everyone from the hall, faces, red and livid. They are now extremely motivated. Theo nodded his head seeing this, looking impressed on his preaching abilities.

Before the crowd went out of control like last time though, Theo made a dry cough and raised his hands to silence the hall.

"Are you now convinced?" Theo asked the burly man.

"I am! In fact all of us ten men here are! We will fight to change our destiny, even at the cost of our own lives!" the burly man spoke with confidence. All the ten men now seemed ready for battle with peak condition!

"Very good!" Theo stood up from his throne and walked forward just a little bit so that everyone could marvel upon his greatness. With his hands clasped on his back and tilting his head 45 degrees angle towards the sky, he beckoned to the sky!

"With the power the heavens have bestowed upon me, I call upon Rognak, my treasure guardian in the upper realm, to send me suitable weapons and equipments for these ten people!"

[Ting!]

[System will conjure special effects for this event.]

The clouds above the residence coiled together before a booming sound of thunder could be heard. Following which, a dazzling light beam descended from the sky in a golden hums, passing through the ceiling straight towards the floor in front of the ten men!

Thus, appears 7 swords, 3 bows and 7 equipments gear from the golden beam!

All of the people were shocked with wide eyes and mouth agaped. The ten men have even more a dumb-monkey-like expression than the villagers who had experienced this phenomena before when Theo built his house out of thin air.

"Ohh? It seems that Rognak views you ten as still not worthy to wield my ultimate treasures. For now, you ten have to make do with these first. Once everyone are more capable, then Rognak will send better ones to replace these things."

Theo hurriedly spoke to cover the reasons why these summoned 'treasures' of his looked too shabby before any one of them spoke.

The ten men seeming about in a daze, quickly kneeled down on one knee, saluting like a bunch of titled knights onto Theo who stood up on the throne. They are thoroughly convinced that Theo is indeed someone of the High Humans race.
