The Conspiracy of the Elites

Chapter 443: entering the world of gold

The sun peaked through the veils of the curtains, illuminating the room as Clark yawned before waking up to a new day.

After staying 2 days in the Sand Dune expedition company, the number of tourists in this batch finally reached 20 and they were ready to go.

For the past 2 days, Clark didnt just stay in the company as that would have aroused suspicion and he was also not so boring. He went out and used this time to check out the different sights in the country.

He visited some interesting places at this time but none of them really registered an unforgettable memory in his head.

After being to countries like the Dakran republic and the outer headquarters of the Seafarers alliance, any other thing that he saw in countries like this only seemed like already used substandard goods.

As soon as the quota for an expedition team was completed, the lady who attended to him sent a message to inform him about it.

As he stayed in the same company with her for the past few days, perhaps due to his actions, but she seemed to have developed a phobia for him.

Anytime she saw him, she would shrink shyly like a tortoise that was poked before hurriedly scurrying away. He found it amusing but he made sure to keep a respectable distance from her as he was not an expert at such matters.

As the sun already rose, he no longer slept as he quickly stood up to get ready. Before going to take his bath, he casually checked the time.

[07:47 am]

The stipulated time for meeting up was 8 am which meant he only had about 13 minutes left to get set. While hurrying a little now, he entered the bathroom and quickly had his bath.

A few minutes later, he was ready.

He was dressed in a black pair of trousers and shirt, while his whole body was covered with a strange silky mechanical hijab.

This was the same mechanical hijab that the guards at the gate of the company wore. It was mechanically made, and it had functions to decrease body temperature and a lot of others.

Also, it had a religious significance to Nirmirian citizens who believed that it was blessed by their god and could protect them from the dangers in the enormous world of gold.

After Clark was done completely, he turned to check the time.

[7:56 am]

Efficient. He muttered with a smile, put his backpack over his back before turning to leave the room that he stayed in for the past few days.

Going outside, he was led inside a hall that was inside the biggest building in the company. Inside here, the other 20 tourists like him were already gathered.

He was the last person to arrive but he was not late as only a minute was remaining before 8 am clocked. After sitting down, he casually swept a glance at his surroundings.

He quickly locked his perception secretly at those that called for his attention. A wealthy family of a middle-aged father and 3 adult boys, and they have 2 bodyguards suspected to be 2nd rank high-grade soldiers.

3 other mercenaries like him who were too lazy to act like him and revealed their identity just on the registration desk.

2 of them were not worth much of Clarks attention as they were more or less normal mercenaries looking for a way to hit the jackpot and become rich in one step, but the last of the three drew his attention.

This lady was mysterious in a way that he could not explain, he decided to put her on his radar of group of people to be wary of.

The last person who called his attention was a blonde-haired young adult. This fellow was the perfect definition of a curious tourist Casanova, and he was a sample of the tourists that he tried to act like.

From the way the attendant behaved around him, he guessed that this bold unruly man probably already related with her in inappropriate ways.

The main reason why the man drew his attention was his bodyguard, he guessed that the guard was a 2nd rank high-grade soldier which left him awed at how rich and powerful the tourists he was going with are.

For this expedition, 8 locals would be taking them with 3 of them being 2nd rank high-grade soldiers. They were experienced veterans, which was the main reason why the money needed was so big.

The local leading this expedition, Mr. Sandstorm suddenly went to the middle of the group with a solemn expression on his face.

The Sahara Desert is peculiar, it is not like regular tourist locations that youve been to before.

The Sahara is more dangerous than its attractiveness. Any reckless mistake from any of you and you wouldnt even know how you died.

To survive this expedition tour, you need to know a set of rules.

First, you must always listen and act accordingly to my instructions.

Second, you must not touch anything until you have received my permission to do so.

Third, no random talks, this is a real-life version of a horror movie.

Fourth, you

After listing 9 rules consecutively, on the 10th, Mr. Sandstorm paused a bit like he had the intention to create a tense atmosphere.

Tenth, watch each others backs. Without cooperation, all of us, including myself will die and be engulfed in the enormous world of gold.

After repeatedly making sure that the set of rules drilled into the head of the tourists to most of their annoyance, he turned and finally led the expedition team out of the company.

They were divided into 4 batches and they also entered 4 different military cars. Mr. Sandstorm confirmed for the last time that the tourists in his team were complete before setting out.

The 4 cars drove for 3 hours until they arrived at the edge of the city. The desert was still not in sight yet, but the yellow air blowing rapidly in the distance could already be seen by the tourists.

They got one last time to see the city behind them before the 4 cars drove into the midst of the flying yellow dust.

They were off to the depths of the Sahara Desert.
