Chapter 18: Victor the Slave Merchant

Just hearing the man's voice, the little girl was so frightened that she immediately let go of the corner of Allen's clothes, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

At this time, the man who spoke also came closer, first smiled apologetically at Allen, and then turned his face to the little girl and said coldly, "What? Do you want me to have someone throw you out again?"

Being able to switch between these two almost two extremes of attitude in an instant and seamlessly like a Sichuan opera changing face, Alan alone can conclude that the woman in front of him may not be a good person, but she is definitely a qualified businessman.

At this time, the little girl was like a frightened little rabbit, and when she saw the woman, she almost subconsciously wanted to run away. However, she didn't do that, but tried to control herself not to tremble, and said in a trembling voice: "Ao...... Mrs. Aubrey, please...... Please, just give ...... Give me a ...... One chance!"

The woman couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this, "Opportunity? With your lowly status, how can I give you a chance? Do you think that I can be a warehouse steward for anyone?"

"But ......"

"It's nothing, but since you're a pariah, you'll be a pariah all your life, maybe you may feel unfair, but this world is so unfair. If you want to blame it, blame you for not being born into a good family!

Although the little girl was still struggling, she was forcibly pulled out by the guards.

After the little girl was blown away, the woman immediately changed her face and said to Alan with a smile on her face: "I'm really sorry, but I have caused you a lot of trouble due to my negligence. So, if you decide to hire us as a warehouse steward, you will only be charged half the price, regardless of the grade?"

I have to say that this woman is really good at business, and such a huge discount must not be rejected by ordinary people, right? However, Alan didn't even look at the woman again, then turned around and walked out of the door, complaining as he went: "It's really bad luck that my good mood has been ruined......!"

Just as Alan had just reached the door, there was a sudden commotion outside, and before he had walked a few steps, he heard a slightly hoarse voice mixed with a violent whipped and said viciously: "Run! Aren't you quite good at running? I'll let you run! I'll let you run......

It was only then that Alan saw through the cracks in the crowd that it was the little girl who had been beaten! On the opposite side were three or five fierce men, especially the one who was the leader, not only with a fierce face, but also with a long scar on his face!

These men were extremely heavy, each blow was strong, and they whipped the little girl hard, and the little girl, despite being bruised all over her body, kept biting her lip, even though she had bitten out the blood, she did not snort.

And those onlookers, although they looked at the little girl with a more or less sympathy in their eyes, but none of them were willing to stand up to stop the brutality of those people.

At this moment, the system prompt suddenly remembered: "Trigger Task: Little Girl Who Was Beaten." If the mission of successfully rescuing the little girl is successful, if the mission fails, the system will evaluate according to the completion of the task, and the level of evaluation will affect the final reward and punishment results. ”

"In this case, you really can't sit idly by!"

After saying that, Alan pushed aside the crowd, slowly walked to the group, and said to the leader Scarface: "Stop! If you continue to fight, you will be out of gas, and you don't want to go back with a corpse, right?"

"Who are you? Dare to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs! Why, do you want to stand up for this little slut?"

"You should feel fortunate that I have forgiven you for your insulting remarks just now. But if you dare to be rude to me again, I think you'll be able to experience for yourself what happens to a merchant who insults the Imperial Royal Chamber of Commerce. ”

Hearing Allen say this, Scarface noticed that the badge on his chest, although it was only the lowest, was definitely genuine. Of course, I can't afford to mess with it. So I had to suppress my anger, "What do you want?"

"Not well! It's just a pure whim, take me to meet your master! I'm sure he'll be glad to see me." ”

Even though he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Allen's gourd, Scarface nodded to him, "Follow me!"

After turning to Lido behind her and saying a few words of amusement, Alan said goodbye to her, and followed the group all the way out of the imperial capital to a makeshift camp.

As soon as Scarface returned to the camp, he slipped headlong into the largest tent in the camp, and then a voice came from inside: "Mr. Victor, we have helped you get that little slut who escaped." ”

"Very good! This damn little slut still wants to run? Put her in a cage and starve her for three days, and see if she dares to run in the future!"

"Besides, there was another person who wanted to see you, so I brought him with me. ”

"I see you're getting bolder now!

"Mondo doesn't dare! It's just that that person has the support of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, and I really can't offend, so I have to ......"

"What did you say?" Before Mondo's words were finished, Victor immediately came to his senses, and even couldn't believe it, "Imperial Chamber of Commerce? You mean, it's someone from the Imperial Chamber of Commerce who wants to see me?"

"A transport merchant of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, to be precise. ”

"Everything! Where is that man now?"

"It's right outside. ”

"Then why are you still stunned? Why don't you ...... No, I'd better go and invite it myself!" he walked out of the tent quickly.

"You're Mr. Victor! First time we met, my name was Alan, and I was a transport merchant affiliated with the Imperial Royal Chamber of Commerce. After saying that, Alan politely extended his right hand to the other party.

But Victor took Allen's hand with both hands with great enthusiasm, and let him into the tent like an old friend who had been absent for many years, and after sitting down, he immediately asked: "I wonder what Mr. Allen is looking for me for?"

"Of course, it's for the annoyance that has been bothering you, brother! If I'm not mistaken, my brother should be from the Southern Duchy, right?"

"Brother Allen is worthy of being a businessman of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, and he is really discerning. Yes, I'm from the Southern Duchy. ”

"And it's the first time you've done anything like this, right?"

Now Victor can't be calm, "Why don't you even ...... this?"

Alan turned the ring on his finger when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, because the commerce of the southern principality is not as developed here, and the relevant systems and laws are not very perfect, so people often lose their money because of the different national conditions of the two countries!"

Allen's words reached Victor's heart, and then he poured beans into Allen's heart and said, "That's right! But lately, somehow business has become very difficult. I don't hear that if the slaves of the Woko tribe are in the imperial capital, they can buy them at a good price no matter what. I took out all the belongings I had saved in the past few years, and finally got a batch. But when I had gone to great lengths to transport these slaves here, I was told that I had to pay an entry tax of ten denins per slave! And not only the entry tax, but they also said that even if I entered the city, because I had no trading permit, I could only be regarded as a consignment sale, and if I sold it, I would have to pay a high transaction tax and take 20% of the profits. In this way, let alone making money, I'm afraid I even have to ride the fare back!"

"That's why you're camping here?"

"I can't help it! Even if I go home now, I can't stand those slaves! A few have died on the way here, and a few are still sick, so if I go back again, won't I be on the way?"

"It seems that you can't stay now, and you can't go, it's really a dilemma!

"Timely, old ...... Dude, what do you mean...... Do you want to pick a few slaves to go back?" Victor immediately felt as if he had heard an oracle, and he was so excited that he even stuttered a little when he spoke.

"How many to pick?" Alan pouted arrogantly after listening to Victor's words, "Children only do multiple-choice questions, and as for adults, naturally they have to do it all!"
