Ch. : 2. Winning the trust of Nikator Joe, and Imperator Aurora, Planning for Escape

After joining Nikator Joe, Manav lent his expertise in various areas.

He contributed to the design of cars, shared innovative ideas on explosives, and imparted knowledge about different crops, including how to cultivate them, the appropriate fertilizers to use, and the optimal time for harvesting.

He also assisted in creating containers for grain storage.

Manav began sharing war strategies and captivating stories with Nikator Joe and his newly chosen wives.

He educated Nikator Joe about marriage rituals, advising him on the ideal day, month, and year for the ceremony.

Despite some of his advice being questionable, Manav's novel ideas on vehicle repairs, crop yielding technologies, and engaging stories impressed Nikator Joe.

Manav gained the authority to roam freely, but he was only permitted to meet the girls in the evening for storytelling.

Nikator Joe allowed this because Manav had convinced him that the girls were his sisters.

When Nikator Joe sought confirmation from a dwarf, the dwarf suggested that since he had found the girls and Manav together, there was a possibility they were siblings.

Manav instructed the girls to act accordingly and convince Nikator Joe that he was their brother.

Manav promised the girls that he would help them escape before the wedding day.

He told them stories of a green place where everyone lived freely without slavery.

The girls sided with Manav, delighted to hear love stories like Cinderella, Frozen, Wall-E, and top novels from his previous lives.

After learning about marriage rituals from Manav, Nikator Joe set the wedding date for 90 days later.

He agreed to this because Manav suggested that it would elevate his status among other cities and his own people, thereby increasing their faith in him.

Manav discovered Imperator Aurora at the workshop and learned that the Century had recently battled a bikers group.

Many people were tired, and their faith was somewhat shaken.

Manav assisted Imperator Aurora in transforming her truck into a mobile fortress.

He conversed with Aurora daily, attempting to gain her trust.

Manav had joined Nikator 30 days ago, and he had 60 more days to prepare for the escape.

He planned to escape on the day the Century would trade with Diesel City for water and diesel, a week before the wedding day set by Nikator Joe.

He subtly hinted to Aurora to assemble a team of war boys who were not very smart but good at working.

Aurora took the hint and started recruiting her permanent sidekicks.

Manav began teaching yoga to the girls, instructing them to practice when no one was around.

The girls' trust in Manav grew day by day.

Manav created many new food recipes, which Nikator enjoyed daily.

Pleased with the variety and taste of the food, Nikator granted Manav the authority over a few mechanic boys.

He allowed Manav to make any changes to the vehicles as long as they did not degrade their quality.

Manav started upgrading the truck driven by Imperator Aurora.

Aurora had recently won a truck by performing excellent tasks assigned by Nikator Joe.

Manav reinforced the truck's tires and enlarged its engine, so the truck could travel long distances.

He added two heavy engines to the truck.

Although synchronizing them to boost the truck's power was a challenging task, Manav managed to do it after 35 days of continuous work.

Manav also designed two new rectangular tank for the truck with two purposes.

One tank could store fuel, and the other tank served as a room equipped with food, water, clothes, a bathroom, and a bedroom.

He created this for his escape plan, but to Nikator Joe, it was a moving luxury room for himself.

Nikator Joe believed that this room was made to be gifted to him on his wedding day, which was only 40 days away.

Manav continued his upgrades and innovations uninterrupted, winning the favor of others and allowing Nikator Joe to freely use the authority he had been given.

After working on the dual engine for 35 days, Manav successfully boosted the truck's power by 1.5 times.

The truck, which could previously run at a maximum speed of 250 KMH, could now run at 400 KMH.

When Nikator heard this, he was pleased with the results.

He ordered Manav to upgrade his and his sons' vehicles. Manav assured him that he would work on their vehicles after the wedding day and transform their vehicles into running fortresses.

Manav never went to the crop farm, storytelling sessions for the girls, or to the workshop with anyone else.

He did this so he could work alone without arousing suspicion.

At first, Nikator Joe ordered a few boys to follow and spy on Manav, but after doing this for more than a month, Nikator found that nothing was wrong, so he cancelled the order to follow and spy on Manav.

With only two days remaining to implement their escape, Manav informed the girls and Imperator Aurora to be ready for the escape plan.

The girls were very excited, and Imperator Aurora was also looking forward to the escape.

Manav's plan with Imperator Aurora about the truck was that she would secretly change the rectangular tanks from fuel tanks to room tanks, and they would use the dual engine to go to Diesel City for the exchange.

Manav would secretly arrive with the girls at the truck.

Manav had made a special key lock that only Aurora, Nikator, and he himself had access to open these tanks.

The day of escape, seven days before the wedding, arrived.

There were seven days remaining until the wedding, and today was the day.

The Century would trade with Diesel City for an exchange of water and diesel.

Horns and drums sounded loudly, signaling that today was the trade day.

Manav quickly ran to the room where the girls were and silently took them to the workshop where Imperator Aurora and the reinforced truck were waiting for them.

He quickly hid the girls inside and ran back to his room.

Imperator Aurora waited for her team of punks, whom she had chosen before according to the suggestions given by Manav.

Manav, after reaching his room, went back to sleep on his bed, waiting for the punk to wake him up.

After half an hour, a punk came and said that the Heavenly Father was calling them.

The Heavenly Father was Nikator Joe.

Manav had told a false story about how a king liked his sons and people to call him the Heavenly Father.

So Nikator Joe started using this title from that day.

The reason the punk called Manav was that today he would go with Imperator Aurora to trade diesel in exchange for water.

Manav walked to the workshop and joined Imperator Aurora.

They both made eye contact and nodded at each other.

After they parked the truck on the lift, the heavyweight lift started going down.

After a few seconds, the truck reached the ground with the help of the heavyweight lift.

The ceremony started where Nikator Joe gave the wretched one water, and a music ceremony followed.

After these ceremonies, the motorcade started going on the road to Diesel City for the trade.

For Nikator, this was the trade.

But for Manav, this was the trade for escape.

The motorcade started to disappear from the site.

Nikator Joe ordered his son to signal Diesel City for the trade and keep a watch on the motorcade for any potential danger.

The signal was sent to Diesel City for the trade, and Diesel City also responded that they agreed to the trade.

After half an hour of the motorcade leaving the Century, the son of Nikator Joe saw that the truck had left its path to Diesel City.

He informed his father.

Immorten Joe checked on the girls, after running to the room where they live.

After he found that they had escaped, he understood the deep conspiracy laid by Manav.

He ordered a whole army to chase the truck.

Upon discovering the betrayal, Nikator Joe donned his war attire, complete with installed oxygen cylinders.

He ordered his son to seek assistance from Diesel City.

Nikator Joe was aware that the truck, upgraded by Manav's intelligence, was beyond his ability to handle alone.

Therefore, he needed to ask for help and was prepared to offer something satisfying in exchange.

Nikator Joe was furious about the betrayal by Manav and Imperator Aurora, whom he had considered his most trusted allies.

However, he managed to retain his sense of calm, understanding that haste and anger would not lead to successful outcomes.

"Prepare the weapons and trucks; we will bring them back," Nikator Joe commanded, his voice echoing through the chambers as he adjusted his war armor fitted with oxygen tanks.

"Yes, Father, the war boys and war trucks will be ready in a few minutes," responded a muscular son of Nikator.

"Father, Diesel City has been informed that we need help, and they have agreed to send assistance," reported the dwarf son of Nikator.

"Father, they are heading towards the area inhabited by buzzers and cannibals," added a thin son of Nikator.

"Hurry up, we must bring the girls back; they will be the mothers of your future brothers," Nikator Joe declared, his anger escalating yet controlled.

As the countdown to the confrontation began, Nikator Joe's Century buzzed with activity, preparing for the chase that lay ahead.

Nikator Joe was angry on himself for not suspecting Manav on time.

(Well, it is boring, but I will make it more intense, realistic, and detailed, in the next few chapters, so bear with it.)

(Also don't give review before 10 chapters are published, okay.)
