Chapter 320: Buying A Lot Of Food!

-----
Benladann was right, perhaps he simply didn't bother with the big sects and guilds in the world, and merely targeted the mortals that were in the wild pretty much, such as all these wild villages, and the sect in here. Which was not being protected by any immortal, to be honest.
These were still "regions of immortal sects" because these sects were here, and by merely being here, they passively protected other mortals that didn't belong to their own sects, but this clearly didn't mean it was impossible for him to capture mortals around here.
In fact, these immortals didn't seem to care about those on their factions, they simply didn't let immortals get close, which ended in helping us as we cannot be targeted by immortals easily. But they can bring mechs and droids which can sneakily travel underground and assault us, right? Or he can even use mortals too, which the immortals won't be able to do anything against!
I see how his tactics work… I guess this is as far as we can go in assumptions and the like without completely delving into topics we don't know much about.
For now, this is everything we can assume… as long as we don't get into his territory, we should be fine. But we might be chased down by his mechs and mortals' subordinates, or by that vampire immortal, who is a part of him, perhaps.
"And that's all I know…" sighed the sect master.
"I see…" sighed Benladann.
"Now that we are done here, I guess we can finally just leave this place…" I said.
"Leave? But what about-"
"Don't worry, we have a method to instantly get here whenever trouble arises, so until then, kept acting like the good sect master you are," I said.
"Yeah, see ya." Said Benladann.
We walked outside of the palace as the morning was already upon us, the bright sky was completely clear today, blue, and beautiful, and the sun, although its heat barely gave any warmth to us in this place, was good enough to illuminate this city.
"We really had a lot of adventures here. A lot of things happened." Said Benladann.
"Yeah… But I guess this is our farewell to this interesting sect. The first of the many we might find in this world…" I said.
"Yeah… Let's order a lot of food to bring home before going out!" said Benladann.
"Oh yeah! The restaurants here are pretty good! We might end up coming here daily anyways to eat here." I laughed.
"Yeah, I guess we shouldn't really act that emotional." Chuckled Benladann.
We moved to our favorite restaurant, which was just opening, and we ordered all the dumplings they had, alongside meat-filled steamed buns, beef stew, and other preparations that all held their unique flavor and seasonings from this place.
We ended emptying the entire restaurant ingredients, as I saved everything inside my Inventory stealthily.
After that, we traveled to five more restaurants in the shopping district, so we could bring back home a massive pre-made feast!
However, before going back home, we moved towards Rakasha's home.
It was finally time.
We rushed there and I knocked on the door.
Rakasha greeted us while holding a cup of warm herbal tea, Ruby seemingly was still sleeping soundly.
"Ah, Drake, Benladann! You've come early today, want to have breakfast with us? I heard about the tournament! I can't believe you really just beat every single member of this sect?" he laughed, as he let us in.
"Haha… Well, it wasn't so hard. We were well prepared, and this sect's members are a bit too confident in their own power." I said.
"Well, I don't belong to that sect, so I don't feel offended or anything. I am actually glad they had their assess beat for once, that will teach them a lesson." Said Rakasha.
We sat down in front of the table as he served us some of the aromatic herbal tea he was drinking, alongside a few loaves of bread, fruit jam, and butter.
We began to dig in as we were honestly quite hungry, we were still saving space for the feast of restaurant food, but we couldn't deny such a nice breakfast.
However, as we casually chatted, we thought it was finally time to tell our good friend the truth about this… and about everything that transpired here.
Well, not all, let's skip some parts, so he doesn't look at us like villains.
"You see, today we were making a treaty with the Sect Master, we became good allies tonight after making a large contract and we celebrated a feast…" said Benladann.
"Oh! That's nice. That old man is finally getting his shit together." He said.
"Yeah, the thing is three Rank 4 Vampires appeared," I said.
"PPFFF…!"
Rakasha suddenly threw away the herbal tea he was drinking into the ground in surprise.
"W-What?!"
"Calm down, we killed them after a lot of effort… the Sect Master almost died though, he had his Mana Core stolen, but we replaced it in time and saved his life," I said.
"Y-You can do such a thing?! I see… Well, these Vampires… Wait…" he muttered.
"Indeed. They came looking for a girl named Ruby, and they thought that the Sect Master must have known about her… so they almost killed him trying to interrogate him, but we saved him, and we killed the Vampires…" said Benladann.
"I-I see… So they're coming for Ruby… W-What should I do?!" he asked, feeling desperate.
He really didn't want to let go of the girl; she had grown fond of him, and he had also grown fond of her. A lonely man like him had opened his heart to this little girl who became something like the daughter he never had.
"You don't have to let her go… Come with us, Rakasha. Join our Sect with Ruby, and we'll protect both of you." I said.
"W-What…? Your sect?" he asked.
"We have more resources than you think… We have a flying fortress which we use to travel the skies. With you two there, it will be pretty hard for them to even find us." I said.
"Y-You have what?!"
I guess it is hard to believe…
