Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Caesar hurriedly expressed his gratitude, forgetting all about the head pat he had just received from Night. Instead, he was incredibly grateful that Night had saved his life.

The last night turned its gaze to the last burly man.

Thump! In the instant before the night's gaze fell upon him, the burly man suddenly knelt down, and the long sword in his hand silently slipped to the ground before making a clanging sound.

He was terrified!

Faced with a monster that humans could never defeat, and a man who could kill the enemy with his bare hands as easily as killing a chicken, the strong man couldn't muster any fighting spirit and eventually gave up.

Rather than continue facing such a monster, he would rather surrender.

Thus, with the last assassin also losing his ability to act, the crisis was completely averted in an instant.

Seeing that the crisis had passed and that her son was safe, Aurelia Corta breathed a sigh of relief. Then, in a fit of rage, she immediately ordered her attendants to capture the last survivor.

When the servants pressed the burly man for answers about where they came from and who sent them, he seemed to be too afraid of the night. Just seeing the night standing to the side, the burly man quickly confessed everything.

Only then did Ye realize their identities.

A group of Italian soldiers captured on the Italian battlefield during the Allied Wars, who were supposed to become slaves and be sold to nobles by slave traders, unexpectedly obtained weapons and launched a counterattack due to a mistake by their guards.

After a series of unexpected events, these people did not escape back to Italy. Instead, they infiltrated the capital of Rome and, guided by someone with ulterior motives, infiltrated the slave market, preparing to assassinate the only male heir of the Julius family who was to arrive that day.

Night: Interesting. It seems I have quite a connection with the Julius family!

This is the second time they've been saved, and this time they've even saved the last surviving member of the Julius family.

Chapter Fifty-Eight Night: You know, slave trader: trembling with anger and cold, I absolutely don't want to understand.

Aurelia was so angry she was trembling all over!

She couldn't believe that the target of the assassination was her youngest son, Caesar.

Although she had considered letting Caesar see blood, and even after he came of age, she would ask him to fight real gladiators and kill more powerful enemies to train himself.

But that was done under the absolute premise of ensuring Caesar's safety, rather than putting Caesar in a crisis where he could die at any moment.

A hint of murderous intent and barely suppressed rage flashed in Aurelia's eyes. Some people have overstepped their bounds, so they should be chopped off!

Without the protection of Roman insiders as collaborators, these Italian soldiers, who should have been slaves, could never have threatened the lives of the mother and child.

The wrath (retribution) that comes with offending the family of gods!! I wonder if the person in the shadows is prepared?

Investigate! This matter must be thoroughly investigated.

After calming down completely, Aurelia began to take stock. She looked at her servants with increasing anger: "Useless, useless, useless, a bunch of useless people! If we hadn't met a truly powerful warrior today, Caesar and I would have died countless times over with you bunch of good-for-nothings."

This inexplicable anger stemmed not only from the fact that the guards they had raised for so long couldn't even protect their lives, but also from a lingering fear. It seemed that the training process for improving Caesar's combat abilities should indeed be accelerated.

Today was lucky, but what if Ye hadn't been there? Or what if there was another assassination attempt? Caesar must have sufficient counter-attack capabilities.

Even if you don't kill all the assassins who attack, you should at least have the ability to escape from their encirclement.

However, if Caesar possessed the same terrifying combat abilities as Night, Aurelia would truly feel that she had nothing to worry about.

That way, next time she shouldn't be worried about Caesar, but rather that Caesar might overdo it and kill them all without leaving any survivors.

Thinking of this, Aurelia paused, and a thought began to cross her mind about Ye.

I wonder if it's possible for Caesar to become his apprentice and learn combat skills from him.

The more this mother, who was determined to raise Caesar in every way and was very willing to spend money, the more excited she became about the idea.

On the other hand, it could be said that she and her mother had the same idea.

Meanwhile, Caesar, who had already realized his own shortcomings in this battle, was very interested in Ye's powerful swordsmanship and physical training skills, and had the idea of ​​recruiting him.

His figure, resembling that of an ancient Greek hero, greatly impressed Caesar.

He has loved Greek culture since childhood. While studying rhetoric, history, philosophy and other cultural subjects to prepare for a future political career, he also made sure to stay fit and developed excellent horsemanship and swordsmanship skills.

Caesar, who initially thought his combat prowess was quite good, discovered in actual combat that his ideals and reality were completely different.

Caesar, who desperately wanted a good practical mentor, was understandably very interested in the night. This studious boy never missed any opportunity to grow.

Soon, before little Caesar could even speak...

Aurelia, who hadn't forgotten about the night, scolded the servants for a while longer before looking at the night.

She expressed her gratitude to Night, inquired about his name, and then invited Night to visit the Julius family, promising him a warm welcome.

She will also tell Caesar's uncle, Lucius Caesar, about this. (Family card)

The entire Julius family will remember the night's friendship, and in the future, if they encounter any trouble in Rome, they can simply invoke the name of the Julius family.

Aurelia also specially gave Night a badge symbolizing the Julius family crest.

Ye did not refuse and gladly accepted them all.

He was very satisfied with this harvest, which was much more substantial and faster than the reward he received from Haruman.

Leaving aside the emblem that symbolized the prestige of the Julius family, from then on, as long as Ye didn't rely on the Julius family's name to cause trouble everywhere...

This badge would allow him to walk with impunity in front of most ordinary people in Rome.

Not to mention Aurelia, Corta would also tell Caesar's uncle, Lucius Caesar, about it.

This man, who had been elected consul of Rome, wielded immense power within the Roman upper class. Compared to the still-developing Caesar, this Great Caesar was the undisputed golden man.

With his help, it would be much easier for her to enter the upper echelons of Roman society after the night.

It seems that the Julius family still values ​​Caesar, their only male heir.

After Ye agreed to visit the Julius family in a few days, Aurelia and Little Caesar couldn't help but smile, expressing their anticipation for his arrival.

Afterwards, Aurelia, who was in a hurry to deal with the various problems behind the assassination, took Caesar back the way they came and didn't buy any more slaves.

This disappointed many slave traders, who felt their major customer had vanished.

Those damned Italian slaves!! If it weren't for these Italians, that lady might have taken a fancy to one of their slaves? Even if she didn't, it would be good to get close to such an important person and become acquainted with him.

The thought of Aurelia's beautiful appearance and devilishly alluring figure made these slave traders' mouths dry. Even if they couldn't make a deal, they would be happy to spend more time with this noble lady.

After Aurelia and the others had completely left, Ye turned back and found the slave trader he had previously done business with to continue the transaction.

Having witnessed firsthand the terrifying power of the Night, the slave trader had become even more humble and awe-inspiring. He smiled obsequiously and, after tallying up all the slaves Night wanted, quoted their prices.

This time, the slave traders even offered Ye a greater discount: 19 ores for a Spartan and 13 ores for a Thracian, a reduction of 1-2 ores for both.

The Italians are even cheaper, costing only 7 gold coins each.

After all the slaves were settled, Ye, who hadn't wanted to pay in the first place but couldn't think of a good way to avoid alarming the Senate, was faced with the still exorbitant price of several hundred Oris.

At that moment, a thought struck him, and he suddenly took out the badge that Aurelia had given him not long ago.

Night: "This thing... you know what it is, right?"

"I want all the slaves, but I don't want to pay such an expensive price as Auris."

You know what I mean...! (Gives a knowing look.)

Ye casually flicked the badge with his thumb, and it fell and then bounced up again.

His calm demeanor, though he didn't say anything more, seemed to say everything.

The slave traders were immediately dumbfounded.

Huh?! This... this is possible? No, he absolutely didn't want to understand!

Chapter Fifty-Nine: Who Dares to Ask a Noble for Money? Absolute Power Equals Absolute Justice

He was shivering with rage! Although he wanted to ignore the badge, the slave trader didn't have the courage.

Finally, Ye said, "Your price is too high. Let me revise it for you."

One Italian costs 5 Auris, one Thracian 6 Auris, and one Spartan 8 Auris.

With each word Ye spoke, the slave trader's heart trembled violently.

Finally, Night revealed a warm smile and said, "I won't take your slave for nothing. Let's recalculate the price based on this."

"If you have any questions, consult the Julius family. If you're dissatisfied with the price, you can simply mention my name and ask the Julius family for a discount."

Slave trader: ...#￥%￥...!

Would he dare ask for it? Go to the Julius family for money? Does he even care about his life?

Despite the poor performance of the Julius family's servants during the Italian assassination attempt today, if a slave trader dared to cause trouble for the Julius family, the servants Aurelia brought with her would have been enough to kill him.

In Rome, there were only two kinds of people—nobles and ordinary Roman citizens.

The latter could transform from commoner to slave at any time.

Absolute power means absolute justice; even Roman law would side with the nobility.

Finally, amidst the slave traders' expressions, which were more like a grimace than a cry...

Night, satisfied with the price less than half the market value, led his slaves away. At this moment, whether it was the well-trained Thracians and Italians Night had bought, or the initially unruly Spartans... they were all incredibly obedient.

They had all personally witnessed their master's godlike power descending upon them that day.

Driven by a desire to be powerful, even half of the Spartans had already come to accept their new master.

Halfway there, Night found the chains on the three Spartan slaves too restrictive and slowing down their progress, so he tossed the key to one of the Spartans.

Night: "Remove the shackles. A warrior doesn't need to carry such cumbersome things; all he needs to bear is armor and a shield."

"...! You...you're going to release us from our bonds? Aren't you afraid we'll take the opportunity to escape, or even rebel and kill you?" The Spartan who received the key opened his mouth wide and asked hesitantly.

Night: "If you think you can do it, feel free to give it a try. I look forward to your challenge..."

A faint smile played on Ye's lips. It was only when they saw that calm, confident, and incredibly powerful smile that the three Spartans remembered how fierce and fast their new master had been in battle.

The thought of fighting such a monster made even the Spartans, who had grown up battling wild beasts and honing their fighting spirit from childhood, feel utterly hopeless. Asking that question was indeed foolish of me.

The Spartans remained silent, but felt a sense of gratitude towards a powerful figure like Ye for choosing to respect their human rights and release them from their bonds, even though the slave trader had been advising Ye against easily unleashing their abilities.

Seeing that the other party was unlocking slowly, Ye even went over to help, prying open the handcuffs and breaking the chains of the other two Spartans.

This scene caused the other slaves watching to tremble, and they all bowed their heads even lower.

That grip strength could easily break even handcuffs; no wonder those two unfortunate Italians had their necks broken so easily.

Just as the three of them were finally freed from their shackles, Ye's gaze lingered on the chains around their necks.

It wasn't just the three Spartans; other slaves also had them around their necks—it was practically standard equipment for every slave in that era. This was to prevent slaves from escaping and to allow for their swift capture.

Ye didn't like this kind of thing, but he wanted to find a place to stay first. Right now, he was still outside, and openly removing the shackles from so many slaves' necks would definitely attract a lot of onlookers, which might bring him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
