Chapter 123 - Hunger..... (1/2)

Yangdi walked both of them out and stood by the entrance as Hao Xuan's back vanished in the darkness. He had many emotions bubbling in his mind right now.

Hao Xuan didn't tell him what he did to him or why. The only thing he knew was that till the end of either his or Hao Xuan's life, he would not be able to betray this man. Even on the way over, he had tried to strike him multiple times but his body never listened to him. It wasn't under his control.

The more he thought about killing Hao Xuan, the more his body wanted to prostrate in front of him and beg for forgiveness.

”Sooner or later, I'll break free and then we will see what he can do,” he thought inwardly and closed the door, returning to his room.

It hadn't even been 10 minutes until his spirit band vibrated and Hao Xuan's name popped up.

”Are there any rival gangs or unscrupulous organizations near here?”

Yangdi frowned and checked his ”little black book” before randomly sending the location of a slave owner.

In the Beast world slavery wasn't illegal, but was considered a legit business field. Some kingdom's main export was slaves. They would attack smaller kingdom's and tribes, enslave their people forcefully and sell them for exorbitant prices.

But in the Mei Kingdom, it was 'frowned' upon and no person could force another into slavery. If one wanted to become a slave, they would have to give up their freedom in front of witnesses and clearly state that they were not being forced or threatened in any way.

But there were still some people that found loopholes and trick others in many ways. Of course, this could not be done by just anyone and they needed strong backing and connections in the government to pull it off.

The slaver Yangdi had just ratted out was called 'Kim Yun' and was a small-time slave owner in the West side of the city. His specialty was young vulnerable girls that he would get drunk or drugged and force to sign away their freedom.

The reason he hadn't been caught was because, One, he had the backing of one of the most powerful families in the Kingdom, and Second because the girls he abducted were normal mortals with no relations to anyone high up.

He was a coward through and through. Never even thinking about laying a finger on a cultivators family and relatives, which is why he had managed to survive this long.

Fortuna city had millions upon millions of residents. It was the most populated city in the entire kingdom because of its strategic location and trade. So this kind of thing wasn't unheard off.

Who would notice a few dozen girls going missing every other year?

****

Hao Xuan got the details of Kim Yun and a smile crept on his face. This was exactly what he needed.

”Sixth brother, I have a few things to take care off so let's call it a day here. I'll meet you back in the base,” he turned around and looked at Sixth who was silently following him.

Sixth looked at his left hand that was hidden in the jacket and wanted to say something but stopped.

”Sure, I'll see you tomorrow then,” he nodded with a smile and walked off in another direction.

Hao Xuan waited till he turned around a corner and then proceeded to the Kim Yun's office.

It wasn't hard to find as it was actually above a very popular club.

He walked up the few flight of stairs there were, passing by a few couples and some pretty women. One of the girls who was dressed in a mini skirt that barely covered her extremely long legs and a small top inhaled as Hao Xuan passed her. Hao Xuan wasn't paying attention but this girl was the very definition of the word 'sexy'.

She looked over at him curiously and smiled when she saw him go to the second floor.

The smile on her face got brighter and brighter, ”Why do you smell like blood?” she mumbled under her breath.

”Sorry?” the guy she was talking to asked as he didn't hear her clearly.

”Nothing, I have to visit the ladies room,” the girl said without turning around and quickly went back into the club.

Hao Xuan stopped in front of a door with a sign that read, ”Kim's Travel Agency”.

He waved his hand to summon Green and Red.

”Cover the entire floor. Don't let anyone in or out until I say so.”

They nodded and extended both of their hands to let out massive amounts of Qi that covered everything.

Hao Xuan looked around and after making sure everything was good, opened the door and entered.

There was a reception desk in the middle of the room and two doors behind it. Behind the desk was a pretty middle-aged woman. She smiled when she saw Hao Xuan.

”Hello, how can I help you sir?”

”Hello, I'm here for some good ol' slaves. Heard this was the place to go?” Hao Xuan asked cheerfully that left the receptionist speechless.

”I-I'm sorry sir, we are a travel agency and do not deal in slaves,” she replied with a stutter.

”Lady, I've got places to be, don't waste my time. Where is Kim Yun? Call him out,” Hao Xuan said with a voice loud enough that everyone in the entire building would've heard if not for Green and Red's barrier.

”S-Sir plea-” the receptionist stood up quickly and extended her hand below the desk to grab something but the door behind her opened and a large muscular man came out. He had scars all over his chest and face and looked very threatening.

”Come in,” he said looking at Hao Xuan, who nodded and entered the room without hesitation.

Inside the room was quite normal. There were about seven men sitting on either side of the room and one man on the opposite side in front of a huge desk.

He looked to be about 40 years of age and was slightly chubby. He was smiling ear to ear, looking at Hao Xuan. This was Kim Yun.

To his left were two young girls huddled up together. Their eyes were opening and closing and they seemed to have been drugged and weren't fully conscious.

”Welcome dear customer! Before we begin, could you tell me where you heard of my establishment?” Kim Yun asked in a soft voice.

”Yangdi. He told me you could get me what I wanted,” Hao Xuan said as he looked over at the girls.

Kim Yun's smile vanished and he turned serious instantly.

”My mistake, you are senior Yangdi's guest? I apologize for the poor reception, please have a seat,” he stood up and gestured towards the single sofa opposite to the desk.

Hao Xuan shook his head, ”No need. I'm not going to stay long.”

He walked over to the girls and extended his right hand to examine them. There weren't any injuries on their bodies and they didn't seem to have been assaulted in any way.
