Chapter 102: Trust?

Amidst the group of happy people, were some scientists and outsiders who also threw in their lives worth of savings to buy single shares.

Motzen was one of them.

Motzen would never forget the day himself, his wife Dinna and their 6 year old son–Mintz, moved into one of their spacious family apartments with 2 bedrooms, a spacious balcony, a kitchen, a pantry and an enormous living room space.

They originally thought that their lives here would be hard to adjust to and cramped. However, in just one day, they turned into loyal zombies of Geldhan village. Only when one lives here, do they truly understand the concept of change.

Motzen felt that every day he woke up, the village would change somehow, especially with all the constriction going on.

Who am I? What am I? Where am I?—Such questions would always flash through his mind whenever he stepped out the door.

Then, there was the matter of the Arachnida Spider bracelets. After having one, he finally understood what his life was missing–His very own Pokémon. It was such a reliable little thing that has assisted him countless times in his day to day activities.

"Ellen, could you grab me an apple from the fridge?"

"Master, you know Ellen is programmed for your wellbeing, so you must not become a lazy fart. Master, according to my calculations, the fridge is just xxx distance from you."

"_"

His cheeky Ellen, although sometimes annoying, was quite cute. What amazed him was that these spider bracelets weren’t there to do their eerie bidding. Nope. They encouraged moments, especially after reading their health vitals daily. Of course, they could help around the house if they sense you already have your hands full.

Afterall, if they did everything, humans would grow to enormous blobs of fat, sitting around all day doing nothing.

One should also remember that as a worker, he must train at least 5 days a week. On days when was on shift, he must arrive earlier and begin general workout with the guards—This was a mandatory step for work no boy or girl could avoid.

No matter how well guarded Geldhan village appeared to be, one must grow strong on their own too.

As for non-workers, the spider bracelets had them run laps around the place, and would also inspect them when entering Exercise mode.

According to the rules in Geldhan village, non-workers must exercise for intense 20~60 minutes at least 3 times a week. Depending on your age, your condition, or your schedule, they must complete these tasks or risk losing their spider bracelets.

If it was before coming to Geldhan village, Motzen would be afraid of such things, worrying for the old people’s sake. But... have you ever seen an old woman run faster than a 14 years old kid?

Motzen’s jaw dropped one day, when staring at an old woman carrying so much load on her shoulders, a load he suspected was heavier than a cow.

What was even more crazy was that she was running while doing so.

What... What was up with this village? Why was everyone so strong? Motzen didn’t know it, but he too was growing stronger than he originally was.

As for the old folks, they were originally stronger thanks to farming, But now, they were so buffed and sturdy that you would think their bones were made of iron. Even the blind could see that everyone was far healthier than before.

What happened to the cough and pain you always felt in your chest?—GONE.

What about your ankles and joints that always felt painful?—FINE.

Some old people at 60 years of age, felt even better than when they were in their early 40s. In their minds, their changes mostly came from money and peace of mind, alongside good food.

Everyday felt like an adventure for Motzen. Which was why he did everything he could to buy shares.

A single share from GF communications, cost 500,000 Gwins. Thanks to the old home they sold off before moving here, he was able to use a big chunk of the money to buy a single share. And now when looking at the 2.418 Million in his account, Motzen only had one thought in mind—Worth It.

...

The festivities continued throughout the day. It was a formal law that Dividend days was more or less a holiday for shareholders. After eating their fill, they went phone in cliques and groups, some hopping onto the buses and others driving away. With so much money, they began making plans. And as usual, many core members gathered in Gort’s home.

Hey, a lot has changed. There was a villa under construction at the far back of his home, with a small guest house in another corner already constructed. Once inside, everyone’s expression turned serious, except for a few who were clueless of what was going on.

Mayer Akin’s family and Khelt Kin’s wife, Martha, were the most confused.

Isn’t today a happy day? What’s going on?

Anxiety slithered into their hearts, looking back and forth in utter silence.

Akin thinned his lips. "I swear to you all that my family is not the sort to go blabbing about."

Like hens, Akin’s wife, Valerie, and their daughters and their son-in-laws all bobbed their heads sheepishly. "Yes, yes... we won’t say a thing to another soul!"

Akin was a mayor. Whether they liked it or not, they have seen things and learnt how to zip their mouths, sealing information for decades.

Survival sometimes depends on quietness. It’s true that all secrets will one day be uprooted under the sun. Buty what they guarantee is that it won’t be them doing the uprooting... They say the word to the wise is enough.

If Akim didn’t trust them enough, he would have used some excuse to send them off first.

As for Khelt Kin’s wife, a woman who married a warlord in the sense, knew much more about keeping secrets than Akim’s family.

Khelt Kin squeezed her hand. He had told her that after today, she will understand why he made such decisions that looked ’brash’ in the eyes of outsiders. Relaxed expression, despite her heartbeat skipping over its own rhythm.

What secrets are they going to discover tonight?
