The Day of the Mission Part 3

Arriving near the end of the cave, the group saw a light emerging from a closed-off gate, which had a steep set of flat stairs. The stairs provided a way for the group to pull the trailer up, containing the fake gold.

"That's the exit," whispered Kamil to Abdul.

Memnon moved to the front and slowly walked up to the metal fencing covering the cave's exit. He saw the feet of two guards and quickly ducked down. The guards were wearing dark brown cloaks with swords and a spear in their hands. They spoke to each other.

"The boss said we need to get our resources together," said one guard, using his spear as a handrest.

The other guard, standing with his hands placed on his sword, asked, "Why is the boss in such a hurry? Doesn't she realize that our people are starving?"

The first guard hastily used his hands to cover the one who criticized the boss. "You idiot! Don't you know even walls have ears? You shouldn't criticize the boss, or else your family might not even get the food that they get now."

The guard who was shut down replied, "Rami, do you even know how we live? My family is crammed in a small room. I have three kids and my mother and father to feed, and the food they give us isn't even enough for one person."

Rami replied, "Well, once we get our revenge on the Royal Army, we will get our wealth back from those filthy Fuc...."

Before the guard could finish the word he was about to say about the Royal Army, Memnon had had enough.

"Memory paused," whispered Memnon in a pissed-off way, using his Chronotex.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

The guards' eyes opened wide, and they froze while Memnon opened the gate and exited the cave.

"I'ma kill him," Memnon replied, nearly reaching the soldier Rami's neck.

However, before he could make contact, Abdul held Memnon's hand and gave him a stern stare. Annoyed, Memnon let go of the issue and helped in carrying the trailer containing the fake gold up the flat stairs.

Looking outside, Kamil's eyes widened in shock seeing the old ruins of his childhood. He was saddened. From where he stood, he could see an old shop where he would often go with his father and sister to get some snacks. The building was half destroyed, but its nameboard was still intact, helping Kamil recognize it.

"What are you looking at, Kamil?" asked Jack.

Letting go of the past, Kamil replied, "Nothing, don't worry," and went to Abdul and Memnon to proceed with the plan.

Kamil's mood had dried down, and he was feeling lonely and upset.

"So, the next step is to go to that house," replied Abdul, pointing at a building made with scraps of wood and leftover bricks. There were two guards guarding the house, walking in a circular motion at each corner.

"So, how should we proceed?" asked Kamil.

"Well, don't worry," said Memnon as he started to walk slowly toward the guards at the house.

"Hey, Memnon," whispered Kamil as he tried to grab him but missed.

Abdul, whispering to Kamil, said, "Don't worry, he's got this one."

Memnon slowly walked up to one of the guards, who had a Mustache and was wearing a brown cloak. Holding his silver sword, the guard demanded, "Who are you? Get away!"

However, Memnon did not fear the sword. He walked straight up to the Royal Nebu guard with his hands in his pocket, holding the Chronotex. He mumbled, "Memory Paused," and a blue circle appeared, covering the house and freezing all the guards in front of the group's eyes.

Memnon then said, "Memory Show," and his eyes glowed blue, showcasing his ability to preview others' memories. After seeing up to the point where the guard saw Memnon, Memnon said, "Cut. Destroy," and the guard's memory about Memnon was erased from existence.

Looking back at the group, Memnon waved his hand, commanding the soldiers to come and enter the house.

"Well, we are safe to enter now. Let's go," said Abdul, and everyone followed. Ramon and Kasib, with two other guards, started to pull and push the trolley towards the house as fast as they could. However, the rocky floor made it tough for them.

While this was happening, Kamil, Abdul, and Jack with Khonsu and the rest of the guards entered the house to find the room with the gold. It wasn't hard. As soon as Jack entered, he saw a door and opened it. Inside was a guard who was frozen. Also, there were other countless guards in the house who were all paralyzed by Memnon's power. The room was made of wood and had spiderwebs.

The room contained a table, and on top of the table and around it were white bags filled with gold coins, just like the ones the Royal Army brought with them.

"Guys, let's start swapping the gold," Jack suggested in a hurry. Khonsu and Kasib started to take the real gold outside, while Kamil, Abdul, and the other Royal Guards helped to place the fake gold in the exact positions to avoid any suspicion.

"Hey, someone is coming," said Khonsu as he rushed inside. "I think it's their leader..."
