32 Hybrid Lane (1/2)
Louie was a bit sad at first but when he heard the numbers that Arthur selected, he quickly brightened up.
The supervisor got to work very fast and separated the chosen ones, then lead the others away.
Christian did not even flinch when his grandson selected the slaves. Others would certainly complain,but it is quite the opposite for Christian.
Arthur chose to sit down and wait for the supervisor to return with the bill. The chosen slaves stood erect in place where Louie directed them to be. Although almost all of them had sad faces, others were just satisfied to be chosen. During their wait, an unexpected thing happened. The slave who holds the number 3, a young boy who is atleast fifteen years of age, broke out of his group and knelt down in front of Arthur.
”Sir please, this must be a bit weird for someone, a slave like me to say but I hope you can trust me and agree to one request. Please buy my elder sister too. She is not here because she is a hybrid.”
”What do I get in return for trusting you?”
”My undying loyalty, my elder sister's undying loyalty, I can promise you that.”
”I already own you, your loyalty already belongs to me. If not so, then I will just kill you and waste money.”
The young did not reply again and just maintained his position with a pleading gaze.
Arthur really don't want to bother himself with this. Buying another slave is still okay however granting a wish from a slave seems to be a bit unappropriate.
He was ready to decline but Argon stopped him and told him to agree. He is hesitant but decided to believe in Argon.
”Fine then. However, in one condition, your sister must be the one who will tell me whether she intends to give me her loyalty or not. Even as a family member, you have no right to say such things for her.”
Louie came back with the bill and he was stunned to see such an event. When Christian saw him dazed, he quickly went near him and ask the amount to be paid.
A staggering price of 430,000 gold coins were placed as the final fee and Christian paid it like nothing.
”Please send the others to the Zell family estate after they are finished with slave tattooengraving and let this one go first and have him join us in the premium store on the hybrid lane”.
”Ofcourse.”
