When Kraven woke up he wasn't in his 'house' he was in a different cage a cage shared with several different people Kraven fully woke when he realized where he was he was outside he wasn't stuck in between those 4 walls. The joy was short-lived when one of the others in the cage nudged him.
"Are you okay? You seem happy, but do you know where you are?" The man looked at Kraven as if he were a madman for smiling."Yeah, I know where I am I'm outside finally outside of that hell" Kraven smiled even wider.
"I don't know about free. Do you know where you are?" the man asked, even more concerned about Kraven's mental state.
"No idea I wasn't allowed out of the house my entire life but where are we and where are we going?" Kraven asked genuinely curious.
"So everyone here is a slave, fuck that can't be good" Kraven finished his sentence just before a bang on the cage.
"STOP FUCKING TALKING" The man driving the horse-drawn cage shouted angrily.
"Quiet" the man quickly hushed Kraven
"Nothing good comes out of annoying him, there used to be one more person in the cage but he shouted at the driver, apparently he was the son of some powerful man and according to him "didn't deserve to be here with vermin" his exact words, the driver scoffed at him but didn't even turn around but the young man just silently dropped dead" the man shakily recalled the events that happened a few days before Kravens capture, clearly still terrified of what happened.
"Killed with a thought how amazing I wish I could learn to do that," Kraven thought to himself feeling more amazed than afraid.
"If I could learn how to do that I could get revenge on those bastards the Evergreen family" Kraven's mind swiftly turned to revenge for the years of torment and humiliation that he had to suffer through, but there was nothing the young Kraven could do now so he found a corner of the cage leaned against it and fell sound asleep.
The man who just told Kraven about an event that regularly plagued his nightmares watched as Kraven showed what almost looked like joy in his eyes before lying on the floor and immediately falling asleep, he felt Kraven was someone to be feared just as much as the carriage driver outside the cage.
Several hours later at midnight, Kraven was awoken by a mixture of the carriage starting to jolt and a heavy downpour.
Kraven fully awake decided to take a good look around the cage in search of the man who told Kraven about where he was earlier but to no avail.
Taking a look around Kraven noticed he was in a horse-drawn cage which he already knew, but he hadn't looked at the size of the cage It was big enough for about 30 full-grown people but most in the cage looked about 14-18 the youngest being Kraven himself the cage had about 20 people in total.
Looking ahead Kraven saw what looked to be a big building with 5 wagons the same as the wagon he was in right now Kraven quickly guessed they were other slave wagons probably led by the driver's colleagues.
Kraven looked around to see if anybody else had noticed but they all seemed to be swallowed by despair to care about their surroundings.
"Pathetic" Kraven spat out with disdain.
Little did Kraven know that the driver heard what he said and had a slight smile on his face.
"Pathetic huh how interesting," the driver said intrigued by the young man who thought himself above the other slaves.
"I'll tell the boss about him he always likes slaves with fight left in them, "the driver said with a terrifying smile on his face.
10 minutes later the wagon reached the large building, followed by the driver shouting and making everyone wake up.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"Fuck that hurt my ears how can a person shout that loud" Kraven thought holding his ears in pain which he quickly recovered from.
"Come on into the building you little fuckers nice a quickly because this rain is doing my fucking head in," the man said annoyed by both the slaves and the rain.
What was interesting to note was not any of the slaves had chains on at all which might seem weird but was simply down to the man's confidence that not one of them would try to escape and if they tried he would just kill them.
Kraven stood up and walked to the door realizing that not one of the slaves had a chain on for some reason but upon looking at the man Kraven thought of an answer "He's confident that not one of us will be able to escape, hell he would probably be happy if someone tried just so he could kill them" Kravens thoughts were proven right in the event about to unfold.
The driver confident that nobody would try to escape turned his back to the door to light a cigarette seemingly uncaring about if the slaves did what he said.
One young boy decided it was his chance to escape the wagon while the man had his back turned to them Kraven saw the young man and realized it was the young man who had told him where he was earlier, seeing he was preparing to run Kraven had no intention of stopping him as he wanted to see what would happen next.
Seeing the man struggle to light his cigarette, the young man steeled himself and made a break for it, hoping with all his might the man wouldn't notice he ran but he wasn't hoping hard enough as just after he ran he heard the man shout.
"Run as far as you can you've got 5 seconds before I come and find you," the man said with a hideous laugh.
"Stupid fuckers always think they can escape when I pull the old can't light my cigarette trick works every time,". the man said smiling and laughing.
"The fucker is crazy," Kraven thought to himself not even thinking about the boy almost surely about to die.
"Five Four Three Two I'm nearly on one better run faster annnd ONE!!" The man said happily before almost vanishing from the spot.
Kraven stood there in shock "How did he move so fast" Kraven had seen the Body Tempering 9th stage 'Guards' move fast but nowhere near as fast as that.
"Could he be a Qi Gathering Stage cultivator" Kraven was lost in thought completely unbothered by the blood-curdling screams coming from the trees just ahead.
"You're bang on the money kid," the man said appearing in the same spot like he never left the only evidence he did was the corpse of the young man lying on the ground and the blood splattered on the driver.
"Is there a chance I could reach your level of strength?" Kraven looked at him not caring he was covered in blood his blood-red eyes staring at the man awaiting his answer.
"Wow this kids fucking nuts he's what 10 and he doesn't blink an eye at me murdering someone right in front of him," The man thought genuinely impressed by Kraven
"Not down to me kid but if you pass the sect's assessment you can join the sect and cultivate some of the best cultivation techniques and martial arts in the world, the name's Jason by the way," the man now revealed to be called Jason said while sticking his hand out for Kraven to shack.
Jason looked to be a man in his 20s he stood about 5ft 11 with a muscular build shoulder-length silver hair and blue eyes, he wore an unassuming overcoat which was obviously enough to Kraven a disguise.
"Kraven nice to meet you, Jason," Kraven said shaking his hand still wet with blood with no hesitation.
"I got a good feeling about you kid people with your flavour of crazy as rare as they nearly always pass the sects tests," Jason said wholeheartedly praising Kraven.
"Thanks, you've mentioned a sect test what sect and what are the tests?" Kraven asked with a crazed look in his eyes that had been there since he mentioned the cultivation techniques and martial arts.
"Can't tell you yet you and the slaves will be filled on all the info in the building" Jason answered honestly.
"Got it no problem thanks Jason" Kraven said before turning to the slaves and telling them to "HURRY THE FUCK UP" Waiting for all the slaves to get off the wagon, many of the slaves gave Kraven dirty looks after all in their eyes he's working for the people who caught them, but Kraven couldn't have given less of a fucking in his eyes the slaves in front of him weren't even human.
"Damn the more I see of this kid the more I like him," Jason thought happily the fatigue of the mission washed away from finding someone like Kraven
"There is one thing I can tell you," Jason said to Kraven.
"What" Kraven looked at Jason with crazed interest.
"The sect is an evil sect," Jason said gauging Kravens reaction, "Great my bastard of a father that sold me is an elder of the
"That it is I'll tell you some more when you pass the tests," Jason said looking at Kraven in a new light.
"His father sold him into slavery and is an elder of the
Kraven was unaware of Jason's thoughts he was too busy thinking about the tests what they would be passing them was his path to revenge.
Walking into the building Kraven didn't know but this was the start of his legacy as the Crimson Saber Overlord.
