Shut up: You, Nymphomaniac Evil Sword

Sam went towards both of them " chaow I didn\'t know you had such a strong and intelligent little sister... little girl what is your name..."

Rutna was a little apprehensive of the stranger, but after seeing Chaow nodding at her she answered " I am Rutna and I am not a little girl..."

Sam knew kids grew up fast in this world and their intelligence was also much  higher.

" Then Rutna I have an offer for you, I am new to this city if you become my guide here.... I will give you 50 ken... what say you"

Rutna "  50 Ken is low ... If you give 60 ken and 3 burgers, then it\'s a deal...."

Sam thought " have i found my match.... a little money grubber "

Chaow " this, sir ..... she is still young and not much knowledgeable of the city... why don\'t I arrange someone else for you... ouch.."

Rutna was already stamping on, Chaow\'s leg and she spoke " How dare you interfere in a fair transaction between two adults..."

Chaow was a little apprehensive about Sam, after all he was known as the barbarian. 

But chaow knew that this person was a hegemon and if he wanted something he could use force to take it , there was no need for trickery.

Sam sent a spiritual message " you don\'t need to worry, I promise you no harm will come to Rutna in any manner... and the surveillance of your army base is always on me.."

Chaow was  a little relieved after hearing this.

Sam patted Rutna\'s head, she was not clearly happy with being patted like a little kid. 

But she held onto her grievances and the next words that came out of Sam, brought a big smile on her face.

Sam spoke " As an advance payment... I will buy you 3 burgers today..."

After arranging things with Chaow and Rutna, Sam returned to the base....

...

The next morning Sam met up with Rutna at the same place and went sightseeing. 

There was not much to see in the city, but after roaming around, Sam got a better understanding of the whole rebel base.

Rutna explained to Sam that the rebels survived on the mine that was under the rebel base and hunting monsters or collecting herbs. The weak and ordinary people who couldn\'t go hunting went for mining, there was a special ore that was found under the rebel base called Almite which was used in  the creation of space craft. 

But mining was a dangerous process and harmful to one\'s health. 

The rebels didn\'t have many high tech machinery or robots for mining, so they invited manual labor.

  The basic masks and protection provided by the base were not that good either.

As she explained many things Sam started gaining more understanding about the rebels as a whole. 

He was also feeling a little emotional as Rutna reminded him of the Pink flower gang. 

He wondered how they were doing.

Sam could also see the hope for a better future in Rutna\'s eyes when she spoke about the rebel armies and their achievements.

But Sam came to a realization, the rebels seemed to be opposing the alliance government from the outside. 

But the truth might be really far away from it. 

In truth the rebel\'s might be in a symbiotic relationship with the Alliance government.

Sam had heard from Levi that common people were exploited everywhere on the planet. 

The Alliance government had been passing one draconian law on top of another, Even in the central cities commoners were suffering. 

People have put their hopes on the rebels in these troublesome times, thinking they will take back the power and bring justice.

  That was why Levi was also giving his everything for the rebels.

It could be very much possible that the mastermind behind everything had planned all of this, the person might have let the rebels survive so that people would still hold onto the non existent hope and continue to be slaves or labor force for the alliance government. 

Thinking that the rebels would one day win.

Hope is one of the greatest of the strengths if used in the positive manner and a false hope could also be the greatest of the weaknesses  that acts as an illusion and stops people from realizing the truth and achieving the real goal.

Sam as a person not from this world, but a spectator from the outside could think like this. 

Maybe there were other people who did realize it, but might have been unable to do anything about the situation.

In the end everything came to one single thing, Might.

  Without strength even if they realized the truth, they couldn\'t do anything to change the situation. 

Because the other party could really crush them without much effort at any time. 

The other party still had use for them and that was the biggest reason for them still surviving, nothing more. 

Sam remembered some of the good movies and lectures that he had seen and heard, on the good old earth.

He just gave out a long sigh....

Rutna, who was eagerly explaining different things to Sam, didn\'t realize the change in Sam\'s emotional state. 

She kept on talking, but Sam\'s mind was not there anymore.

He stopped the tour earlier and gave Rutna her compensation.

  After saying farewell, he walked on the busy street thinking about different conjectures, but unable to come to any definite solutions or conclusion.

Sam thought " Maybe I should get some of that Magic medicine, again...."

and he was already standing in front of a local bar.....
