Chapter 382: Red Sleeve Building, Fragrant Red Sleeve1! (1/2)
Under Bai Xiaofei’s gentle guidance, the little boy explained his situation little by little, a very cliché story. The little boy’s father gambled but had no such money, and sold his daughter after losing big. This kind of thing wasn’t uncommon in the continent, but it was new to Bai Xiaofei.
Mhm, I’m interfering! Sure enough, it’s interesting to go outside!
In Starnet, let alone selling people, opening a betting place already required much care and consideration for a giant like the Babel Merchant House. Even common gambling dens didn’t dare to exist there.
“Masters, it’s getting late, maybe…” When the mustache man tried to remind them, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Qin Lingyan’s face.
Along the way, it had been impossible to stop Bai Xiaofei from putting his nose into others’ problems, and now, he was obviously interested…
“You guys go first, I can manage something this small alone. I will call you if I can’t solve it.”
Who was Bai Xiaofei? He wouldn’t be called Bai Xiaofei if he couldn’t read faces.
“Xiaofei is right, I can accompany him. You three go report to our employer and investigate the details. After all, we can’t let them wait.”
For once, Bai Ye stood up and supported Bai Xiaofei with a sincere look.
“Alright. You guys be careful then.” In the end, Qin Lingyan gave up on talking Bai Xiaofei out of it. His habit would not change until he experienced a loss. Besides, she felt assured with Bai Ye supervising him.
Following the little boy, Bai Xiaofei and Bai Ye didn’t ride their Blackscale Horses and even removed their Starnet emblems from their outfit. In Bai Xiaofei’s words, they were too ostentatious. They were going to save a life, not to show off.
Fortunately, the Red Sleeve Building wasn’t far. Walking at a quick pace, the three soon saw an antique building. There were several beautifully dressed women standing on the balcony, using their sweetened voices to tease every male that passed by on the streets…
Yes, it was a brothel!
“Masters, this is it. My sister has just been brought in. I tried to go in to find her but was beaten out. They won’t let me in at all,” said the little boy anxiously. Although Bai Xiaofei and Bai Ye came along, he was still worried that his sister could not be saved.
“Silly boy, how can anyone let you into this kind of money-squandering cave just like that?” Unexpectedly, Bai Ye’s tone suddenly became gentle. Even Bai Xiaofei was startled.
Is this still the senior who’s been making things difficult for me the last ten days?!
“It’s up to you, Boss Bai.” Bai Ye turned to look at Bai Xiaofei in amusement.
If one talked about money, the wealth of everyone else in the group combined wouldn’t be able to rival Bai Xiaofei. After the Blossom competition, he had again made a profit.
“No problem, but your appearance needs some altering, Baogen,” said Bai Xiaofei and handed the little boy a strand of hair. Then, Blackie’s ability was activated and the little boy turned into Chu Yue.
Bai Xiaofei kept strands of hair of his teammates in order to deal with special situations like this at any time.
Of course, Baogen himself didn’t know what happened. Blackie’s simulation was only visual, not like Huskie who could remodel the physical nature of the target. Yet this alone was enough to surprise Bai Ye. Although the Illusion Stream wasn’t useful in fighting, it could be a useful weapon in normal times! Moreover, Bai Xiaofei’s two puppets could perfectly shield from the detection of those of the same rank or even one higher, which was beyond Bai Ye’s understanding of the Illusion Stream.
“Let’s go.” Bai Xiaofei didn’t care about Bai Ye’s surprise. With a smile, he took the lead and walked into the building.
