Chapter 5 : Can you see me?

Arriving at the Coliseum under construction James suddenly noticed a commotion further on.

He immediately used the Zetsu and approached the scene of the incident while hiding behind a wall and suddenly saw everyone around instantly kneeling at the sight of a man with a broad chin, wearing a rectangular helmet, a red earring in his right ear, and a white suit adorned with a medal.

He was with three slaves and a tall man wearing a hat with the number 5 : one of the slaves wore it on his back like a horse and the two others with many scars walked behind him with chains around their necks like annimals.

But among the crowd two people had been slow to kneel and were noticed by the man, it was the two remaining travelers who had come with James.

"Wretched scum you dare to be so slow to kneel before your master, Yarisugi, breaks them legs, I want to see how long they'll survive against my lions tonight!"

"Yes Lord St. Jalmack!!"

James' pupils seeing the man shrink.

"Yarisugi!"

Yarisugi is a Commodore in Unit 6 of the most advanced base in the Navy, Base G-5.

He's a medium sized, muscular man wearing a round hat with dark short brim and the number "5" on it.

He is a very strong naval officer!

"St. Jalmack? He's a Celestial Dragon!"

When Izumi and Mamadou heard this they were immediately petrified with fear and began to beg St.Jalmack, but this angered him even more and asked Yarisugi to kill them.

Both of them with a strength that could not be considered weak tried to resist but they were both immediately killed with two punches.

"You piece of garbage." Says st.Jalmack showing a look of disgust as his "Horse" stepped over the corpses of the two.

"Call me the guard in charge of the construction site!" he shouted, creating a commotion among the guards, who were also kneeling.

Seeing the dead bodies of the two James couldn't help but sigh.

"Survival World is really targeting us, otherwise how else could such a trivial action lead to death, the difficulty seems to be increasing day by day."

The giant who escorted them the first day rushed forward before kneeling before St.Jalmack.

"It is I who am in charge of this construction site, great lord St. Jalmack!"

"Work is too slow. Speed up construction. I want the coliseum ready in two weeks."

"Lords, this may be difficult, the slaves are already at their maximum effort, if we increase the speed it will be detrimental to the construction in the long run, it would take at least another month even if we speed up the pace."Said the giant as his voice trembled.

Jalmack's eyes gazed at the kneeling giant as an angry expression appeared on his face.

"You dare to question my order again!"

Hearing this, drops of sweat slid down the giant's forehead.

"No, absolutely not, how could a miserable worm a worthless scum like me dare do that, I was just giving my expertise on the situation, excuse please the rudeness of the wretch that I am, great merciful lord Jalmack."

James further on was stunned to hear this, he can't help but look at the giant with more respect.

"He's the god of bootlickers."

The anger on Jalmack's face dissipated when he heard the giant's words, he thought for a moment and then looked at the giant before saying.

"I would leave in three days for the Kingdom of Goa, before going to the port I would come back to see the progress of the work before leaving, if it satisfies me I would not kill you."

"I want construction completed in four weeks."

"Yes lord!!" said the giant still kneeling until Jalmack left.

He rose quickly to his feet and removed the dust from his body and looked at the slaves.

"You'll work 20 hours a day from now on, pick up the pace, the lazy will be whipped to death!"

All the slaves were stunned to hear this, but the giant's voice soon awakened them from their amazement.

"Go to work now!"

Under the threat of the giant and the guards, they all ran to their posts increasing their work rate to the maximum and one of them was James, who had a pensive expression.

"In three days... um... I have to readjust the plan, but first let's go get our new member."

James continued to work until nightfall.

. . . . . .

In the prison that was used to temporarily detain new slaves, a quick human shadow would sneak between the guards before entering the building.

James whose presence was reduced thanks to the Zetsu looked at the new slaves, most of whom were sleeping for a moment before his gaze landed on a transparent young woman at the corner of one of the cells.

He concentrated a small amount of aura in his hands before twisting two bars and entering the cell and without the new slaves noticing, the transparent young woman approached and opened her eyes before looking at James with surprise.

"Can you see me?"
