Chapter 183 - Slaughterhouse’s Owner (1/2)

Carina started to get nervous when she saw a couple of people staring at her with sly smiles on their faces. Unconsciously, she took two steps back. There were others too in this small alley, but none of them had the intention to help as they were used to these things happening around them. Poverty had made them numb with their surroundings.

Before the leader of the thugs could say anything to Carina, a black shadow covered him, and his smile froze.

“Cauchy?”

“She’s my guest, Andy,” said the black man that looked as strong as a bull.

The other young thugs looked at each other, and their leader named Andy quickly put both his arms up.

“This is all just a misunderstanding, Cauchy. We’ll never harm your guests,” said Andy with a wide grin on his freckled face.

After that, the young thugs quickly fled the scene.

“Thank you.”

“Don’t thank me first. Check if your pouch is still with you.”

Immediately, Carina checked her pockets and was unable to locate her pouch.

“That bunch of kids!!!” exclaimed a shocked Carina.

“Don’t worry. I know where they are. I will help you get your money back. Let’s go. He’s waiting for you.”

Andy then brought Carina to the slaughterhouse. Several workers were busy slaughtering pigs in front of them. None of them seemed to care about Andy and Carina entering the slaughterhouse. After that, Carina followed Cauchy to go to the bas.e.m.e.nt, and she finally met up with Laeli. The last time they both met was about a month ago. Zhang Heng had given Carina some money and asked her to pa.s.s it to Laeli. Laeli went dark after that, right up until two days ago. He was the one who had taken the initiative to contact Carina.

“Thank you, Cauchy.”

The boss of the slaughterhouse nodded at Laeli and left the bas.e.m.e.nt.

“Cauchy is not from my tribe, but he is someone I can trust. No one dares mess with him in this street. He’s helped me out a lot recently. I’m so sorry that we have to meet here in this bas.e.m.e.nt. Malcolm is a very cautious person, but he has a weakness as well. He usually focuses on the enemies that could affect him more. He would spend hours studying your behavior, pattern, background, and even your childhood. He is determined to look for the most effective ways to crush you, people. Captain Zhang Heng and you seem to have become worthy enemies for him.

“However, there’s only so much he can do. When Malcolm focuses on one thing, he will not care about all the other unimportant enemies around him. For example, the slaves and me from Terrance’s Mansion; we’ve become no different from the trees around us. He no longer cares about me the moment I was dragged out from the banquet hall. The supervisor would also never tell him that he sold me to Zhang Heng. However, if he finds out that I’ve been talking to you, he will realize that I’m still alive. From there, he will start to a.s.sess all the possible threats that I can bring to him. This could cause me a lot of trouble.”

“I can understand that.”

“Let’s talk about your father.”
