126 Second Portal (1/2)

”But I want you to not say anything about the potion to anyone, understand?” Wei Xi reminded the three slaves, ”If the Boss knows that I give you the healing potions, I will be scolded for sure,” he said jokingly with a smile.

However, the three slaves did not take that as a joke as the three nodded their heads vigorously. None of them were stupid enough to blabber about this to the others.

”Ah, I have one more here, so you can have one each,” all of sudden a voice came from Wei Xi's back. Wei Xi startled as he turned around.

Lu An took out the same vial and placed it next to the two vials, ”Make sure to be useful in the next portal or I am going to break your leg with my hand,” after saying that, the young boy headed to the house.

Looking at Lu An's back, Wei Xie smiled, 'It seems we have the same way of thinking,' he thought to himself.

”Alright, take the potion and rest early! We are going to face a harder obstacle tomorrow,” Wei Xi tapped the three people's shoulders before he headed to the house where he slept.

The slaves were getting back to redeem their second chance. They wanted a better place to live and also a better environment. However, His Boss was furious with these people that they abandoned him when the crisis arose. So he would never regard them as his people until they finished the slave contract.

Wei Xi understood why Tang Shaoyang did so, but if the slaves were ignored or treated harshly like this, they were bound to riot again later on. He did not want this to happen, so he did this to help the slaves. He wanted the slave's group to regard the base of their home as well just like him.

Rather than isolating them, he would like to embrace the slaves. He wanted the slaves to regard the others as their family just like the Tarriors.

It was not that he did not agree with what Tang Shaoyang did but he felt that this action was necessary if they wanted the slave group to remain loyal after the contract was over.

After all, everything did not need to be done by their Boss. He as the subordinate here to complete what his Boss lacked.

Meanwhile, Tang Shaoyang was having an awkward meal instead of a celebration. Kang Xue brought her family with her forcefully, causing Kang Jiayi to be displeased. The old man was just staring at the food, he did not eat the food.

His wife, Mu Liqiu was completely different, she ate the steak on her plate. It was the Fogged Ape steak. Since this was her first time tasting the Fogged Ape meat, she could not help but devour the meat quickly but elegantly.

Quickly she finished the steak on her plate. Mu Liqiu wiped her lips and looked toward her husband's steak, ”You don't want the steak?” She asked her husband. Kang Jiayi spoke no words, completely ignoring his wife.

”Since you don't want the steak, I will eat it for you. You should not have wasted the food!” She pulled her husband's plate and ate his steak.

Kang Zian looked at his mother eating the steak greedily. He gulped mouthful saliva, he was tempted to eat the steak in front of him. He looked down at the steak, but then, a hand reached to his plate.

Kang Zian's eyes widened and looked up. Tang Shaoyang shamelessly pulled his plate away, ”What? Do you want the steak?” Tang Shaoyang asked his brother-in-law. The latter gritted his teeth and looked away, he did not want to speak with Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang shrugged his shoulder and pulled the plate toward him, ”Can I get half of it?” Kang Xue asked for the steak.

Just like that, they had their meal in a silent atmosphere. There was no other noise except for the noise of chewing the meat.

Tang Shaoyang was about to get up after he finished his meal, Kang Jiayi finally opened his mouth, ”Don't you think you should explain what you have done to my people?” His voice was cold and his stern tone explained that he was not happy with what happened to the soldiers.

”Explain? What about you? You also owed me an explanation for stealing my stuff. What about your people who tried to kill me? Don't you think you owed me an explanation?” Tang Shaoyang fired back with his deep voice, ”You should already know that my action is self-defense. Do you still need me to explain everything? The fact that none of the soldiers were killed is luck on your side,”

The old man was about to say something but Tang Shaoyang spoke first, ”What if I don't have my power? What if I am just a powerless man with a little bit of strength? I will be a corpse with many holes right now!”
