527 Another Universe (2/2)

Becoming an immortal before the twentieth birthday was the way they differentiated between persons and objects.

The origins didn't matter, any being who reached the first immortal level before that age would be recognized as a person while those who weren't would be treated as objects or animals.

At least, that was the rule on their country, so the couple was trying to flee to any other country where the rules wouldn't be so cruel with untalented people.

”Jika, run. I will use my life to win some time for you.”

He would rather die than let his girlfriend become a slave.

”No! I prefer to die with you than to live fleeing alone!”

She didn't want to become a slave, but she didn't want to live without Dan either, so she decided that death was the best outcome for her.

”Die? Impossible, you are a slave who has a monetary value. I can't let you die, or I will need to pay your price myself. As for that brat, you can consider him a corpse, but don't worry, I will let you watch while I torture him first.”

Although Dan was an immortal, given his training speed, he was considered to be in the lowest part of the society, so not even his family would try to help him after he stole a slave from another family.

The fact that Dan and Jika were childhood friend and always loved each other didn't matter for them, the only status mattered in that country.

Of course, that third level immortal didn't think that he was doing anything wrong because he was just recuperating stolen goods.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

”Uncle no! Why do you need to be like this? You always treated me kindly before...”

Jika was scared when she heard that her boyfriend would be tortured.

”Uncle? How is that a mere animal like you dares to call me uncle? What a shame! Forget about your memories as a person, a slave doesn't need them. Don't worry, the slavery mark will erase your memories and personality, so you will just live to satisfy the orders of your owners.”

The lives of slaves in that country were far worse than anything that Yale had seen before ascension.

Even their intelligence would be erased completely, which also made that they couldn't train anymore.

”Sorry to disturb you, but I have some questions to ask.”

That voice made that the three of them were shocked because just a moment ago, there wasn't anyone else there.

”I don't know who you are but get out. I am doing important business here.”

Yale felt that Julie would be angry if she heard that what that man was doing had been called business.

”Senior, please ask, we will reply to any question!”

Dan decided to bet that Yale would save them even if it were only to ask some questions given that the other man had replied Yale so bluntly.

”Shut up! You better run quickly, or I will also torture and kill you!”

That man's father-in-law was from the family governing the country, a sixth level immortal, so he didn't fear a random traveler even if that traveler was stronger than him.

”I have a sixth level immortal backing me, so you should be wise to make a choice.”

Yale's face didn't change before he replied.

”Of course, I know what I should do. You can call me Liye, but we will never meet again.”

That man didn't think too much about those words, but in the next instant, his head had separated from his body while he felt a pressure far higher than the one, he felt from his father-in-law.

Only at death, he understood that a sixth level immortal wasn't a deterrent to the man he offended with his words.

In their country, a seventh level immortal had never appeared before because the area was a wasteland without anything valuable.

It was already great having three sixth level immortals on the country.

That man's soul was cursed to torture until disappearing thanks to the effect of Yale's sword.

Yale truly despised that man so he decided to use him to spread his name in hopes that Tofesh would hear it someday. Of course, he didn't believe that with such a small incident, his name would spread.

As for offending people, he was offended first by that man, and he just couldn't forgive actions like slavery.
