Chapter 124: A Small Chat Between Monsters...
"How do you feel Aamir?
Don't you think this place would do our Order some good…?"
"Master… it's not that I don't like this place…
There is plenty of food for us all…
We have dozens of ways to improve our strength as well…" Aamir fiddled around aimlessly with his fingers, not knowing how to address his dear Master and teacher.
Rashid sat in the middle of a small multicoloured pool that was built inside a large lake with the same colours.
It was the Chronicle Elemental Lake that appeared after Rahzil received it through the System rewards.
While Esmond and Rahzil had yet to enjoy the Lakes ability, Rashid was enjoying it nonstop, even making the Hassassin Operatives that came with him to the space to take a dip as well.
Up until they stepped over into the Spatial Ark Star World, none of them ever believed in magic or other energies which could enhance the body, except for Rashid.
He knew about the old legends buried deep within the Orders history, yet the condition of the world restricted his ability to ever practise the old knowledge, until now.
The properties of the Chronicle Elemental Lake allowed anyone who took a dip within the waters to enhance their elemental shards within their Body Cores.
For someone like Rashid, who had no Body Core or any of the other Hassassin Order members, the Chronicle Elemental Lake could help them develop one.
So far, there were 11 Elements which were represented by 11 different colours equally throughout the Chronicle Elemental Lake.
If any person sat in a specific colour, like the deep crimson water which represented the Blood Element, their body would begin to absorb the waters while condensing it down to form an Elemental Shard.
At the same time, the body would be able to draw in Spiritual Energy to ignite the Shard to form into a Body Core by fuelling it with External Body Energy until the body could produce its own.
After that the individual would need to inject their own Internal Body Energy into the freshly formed Body Core, both for it to connect with the soul and adapt to the body's condition.
.
In Rashids case, he had Carter build him a pool within the centre of the Lake that would have all 11 elements which were included in the Spatial Ark Star World by Esmond.
Since he'd been on the medicine developed by the medicinal farm, Rashids body had strengthened a dozen times over so he could finally start developing his strength.
Currently resting in the pool of multi-coloured Elemental water, Rashid had grown several leaps and bounds to the point his body was free of all wrinkles and age.
His appearance had reverted back to his mid-twenties, which greatly shocked the Hassassin Order members, who'd only ever seen their aging grey haired and wrinkled Master.
It took them sometime to get use to the massive appearance change, however with time they came to understand they knew very little about their Master.
He wasn't one to exert his dominance over the Hassassin Order members before because his bodys poor state would mean his death if he exerted himself too much, yet now, there was nothing stopping him.
Aamir, who would at times raise his voice before his Master if he didn't agree with the decisions made, couldn't barely look his Master in the eyes anymore.
.
"Aamir, hurry up and spit it out." Rashid, who sat in the middle of the pool atop a small stone, cross legged, while the Elemental water surged around him.
"It… all seems too good.
Way… too good.
We all have learnt various topics and knowledge none of us ever could have imagined, but at what cost…" Aamir was standing beside the pool watching his Master train, though his mind was in shambles, not knowing what to make of the Spatial Ark Star World.
However, as his thoughts were stuck on trying to find out Esmonds plans for the Hassassin, Aamir noticed a ripple in the space nearby, worrying him and the few guards around his Master.
"Seems like you'll get the answer you desire, child…" Aamir opened his eyes, while sitting cross-legged atop the flat stone as his eyes moved to the rippling portal from which a striking young man walked through.
"Gramps… we need to talk…" Esmond said, walking through the portal with a dire expression, which worried Aamir more than Rashid.
.
"You've made a nice little place here for yourself…" Esmond was quite startled by the modern architecture of the home built atop a mountain peak with its clear glass walls that overlooked the scenic landscape.
He expected a rustic old school design with minimalistic furniture and artwork, but looking Esmond figured Rosie and Archie had gone all out on the mansion for Rashid.
While he didn't care for the luxury, it seemed fitting for the imposing figure that was rejuvenated with life, currently pouring tea for the two of them.
"Your 'family' has been generous… to offer such a beautiful home for me.
Even my students are all… grateful…"
"Not all apparently…" Esmond said while taking a hold of the cup of tea, as Aamirs eyes burned in the back of his head from a distance.
"*Sigh* that child… is one of very few who are worried about your plans for them and the Hassassin.
Even after the time they've spent around this… hidden world." Rashid enjoyed the aroma of the tea which was made from Spiritual Infused Essence products.
The tea set Rashid used was made from Spiritual Infused Essence materials which added to the calm atmosphere between the two, beside the deep conversation that was about to occur shortly.
"Up until a short while ago, I had very little thoughts about including your Order within my plans, beside a select few… however… it appears with your disappearance, the hidden cells around the work have become more active…
Certain actions of a specific cell, have deeply disrupted my plans, Gramps." Esmonds had no malice in his voice, even if his words sounded so, which Rashid had realised by Esmonds unchanging eyes.
Already stunned that the Hidden Order had already fallen into the depths of chaos, Rashid felt a little nervous trying to figure out what had happened to cause Esmonds plans disarray.
"Tell me child… what has happened…" Rashids calm expression turned frighteningly deadly that his aura could be felt throughout the mansion, suffocating some of the Hassassin Order members who were too close to the lounge room where the two giants sat.
Esmond had just spoken of the incident which occurred throughout the African continent, sending his plans all over the place.
After hearing about the carnage that occurred at the hands of Hassassin, Rashid felt both furious his students had gone and done such a thin, but also deeply sad at the idea they could be bought by any person with money.
.
"How did you find out…?" Rashids ugly expression couldn't be hidden from Esmond, especially after the murderous intent exploded from the Master of the Hassassin Order.
"The two Ancient Orders in my control…
They found information relating the attacks with a hidden cell of the Order located somewhere on the continent.
Some of my Operatives tell me the Base of Operations for the Hassassin Cell is located somewhere in the Sahara Desert, however they aren't positive about the information." Esmond finished the dark tea and poured himself another cup, waiting to hear Rashids thoughts on the matter.
"… What do you want me to do, child…?" Rashid looked up at Esmond, his eyes sharp as a hawk, searching for its prey.
"Control the splintered cell… by any means necessary.
I have no doubt Russia, China and the United States will act throughout Africa, but it's also what worries me deeply.
If they become aware of my plans earlier than expected my development ideas for the nations included in my plans will have to be put on hold, which possess more problems than I first imagined." Esmond controlled his facial expressions much better than Rashid, but he couldn't contain the damp emotion in his voice.
The two sat in silence for a short while, slowly sipping at their tea until one of them finally spoke up with an idea the other hadn't thought of at all.
"Take Western Sahara…" Esmond looked over at Rashid with a questioning gaze but said nothing as he waited to hear more.
"The area is disputed territory with Morocco in charge of 80 percent of the land, while the remaining land is in control of Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.
If your able to insert yourself into the political and military discourse of the nation, I don't doubt the nation would collapse into your hands quickly.
You could further expand out across the entire Sahara Desert, which I have no doubt could be transformed into a paradise unlike no other on this planet with your knowledge and power.
But that isn't all…" Rashid took a sip of his tea before continuing.
"… The likelihood of the Hassassin Cell being in Western Sahara is quite high…"
…

.
"What the…!"
Hayaans sudden shout in the middle of the private study room caused the others present to also scream out of shock and surprise.
"Hayaan!
Why did you shout all of a sudden!
You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Andre Oumarou screamed at his friend and future diplomatic ally, annoyed largely at the fact he was bothered while planning necessary law changes that needed to be made in his nation's constitution.
However, when he and the others around the desk heard nothing from Hayaan, they all looked up from their work and saw his flabbergasted face focused on his laptop.
"B-Brother… is everything ok…?" Gatimu walked over to Hayaan side to see if he could awaken him from his stupor by nudging him a little, yet his eyes also felt onto Hayaans screen, leaving him slightly terrified.
Before the others could come over to see what broke the psyche of their two friends, they also received similar messages on their personalised laptops, petrifying every member of the future leaders of Africa.
"What the hell is Lord Esmond thinking?!" Hayaan screamed first, while the others took a moment to reset their minds together.
