"Brother Charles!"

The little girl Charles rescued from the barracks saw Charles and threw herself at him.

"Didn't Brother Genaro send you home?" Charles, dotingly patting the little girl in his arms on the head.

He had agreed with Genaro that after the battle, Gnarro would send the girl home, and then they would meet in Trapani, and in the afternoon Charles would go to the message board of the Adventurers' Guild and leave a note for Genaro.

It's just that now Gnaro and the others have arrived, and they are still taking the little girl with them, so Charles has a question.

At this time, Genaro entered the room with a group of girls, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Charles was okay.

Donna said there, "I just said don't need to watch out for him, I don't think even the Demon King can catch him." ”

After she finished speaking, her eyes froze, and she looked thoughtfully at the bottom of the bed.

Deborah said with some trepidation, "It really scared us to death that day." ”

Charles smiled and said to her, "Don't worry, just like Donna said, even if the Demon King comes, I can run away." ”

"Tsk......" Donna said disdainfully, "Say something polite to you, and you'll blow the bull." ”

Charles smiled and didn't speak.

At this time, Tilly, who was holding Charles, let go of her hand, and then said, "Dad is poisoned, we are going to find an antidote here." ”

Charles was taken aback, then asked Sister Lucia, "Is the situation serious?"

Lucia replied, "Rest assured, it's a chronic poison that will only cause pain to patients at this stage and won't be life-threatening for a few years." ”

"Sister Dangna said that the antidote herb is in the deep part of the forest sea, and we have enough time to find the herb. ”

"That's good. This time it was Charles' turn to breathe a sigh of relief, and the well-informed Donna was still very reliable in this regard.

At this moment, Danna smiled evilly at Charles, and Charles's heart was alarmed.

"Crackling?"

"Ahh

"Wow!"

"Yikes!"

As Donna broke it, a faint flash of lightning suddenly appeared under the bed, which was enough to roll out the three young ladies under the bed.

"There's a thief!" suddenly cried out the youngest Tilly.

The people present were stunned suddenly, then Gnaro looked at Charles with a look of adoration, when Na continued to laugh evilly, Deborah and Cullen looked at Charles with trash expressions, and Lucia came over and took Tilly away with a straight face.

Charles glared at Donna fiercely, then at the three young ladies.

Valerie stood up casually, then saluted Gnaro and them.

Marlena stood up with her head bowed and her hands clasped tightly together.

Giovanna crouched on the ground and covered her face and began to cry.

"Valerie. Charles now has to deal with this matter quickly, "What's the matter with Malena?"

Valerie said with a calm expression: "Marlena is addicted to gambling, especially in the gambling game of the previous war, and even the tuition and living expenses were lost. ”

"If she fails to pay the money by twelve o'clock tomorrow noon, she will be taken as a slave to pay her debts. ”

Charles looked at Marlena with a frown and asked, "Is that really the case?"

Marlena nodded palely.

Charles asked again, "If you hadn't met me today, would you have wanted to steal the money from the store to pay off the debt, and then run away?"

He just wanted to scare Marlena, but he guessed correctly, and a cold sweat the size of a soybean suddenly broke out of her forehead.

Some moneylenders will apply a spell similar to a slave pattern on the debtor's body, and it is better to die if they don't pay it back if they don't pay it back after the deadline. As long as the money is repaid, the creditors will help to discharge, and they don't care where the money came from.

So for Marlena, stealing money from the store to pay off debts has a higher survival rate.

Of course, the highest survival rate is still a large amount of money from Charles, and maybe there will be something left after paying off the money.

Charles asked Marlena again, "Who do you owe money to?"

Malena hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the Red and Black Merchant Group." ”

"Oh?!" Gnaro exclaimed suddenly, "it turns out that you owe money to my family." ”

Marlena raised her head sharply and looked at the young handsome man with hot eyes.

Genaro walked up to Charles, touched Charles with his elbow, and said with a wicked smile: "If you want me to talk to them, I can still call the shots if I give her to you." ”

Charles rubbed his chin with his hand and thought about it, seeing that Marlena was both worried and expectant, when Charles's slave was the least bad of all for her, at least Charles was handsome enough not to lose.

"Forget it. Charles shook his head and said to Genaro, "For the sake of her having dinner with me, sell her to the Screaming Slime Merchants." ”

"Okay. "They've always paid a lot of money, especially for these young and beautiful girls. ”

With a "poof", Malena's feet fell to the ground and she fainted.

Charles shook his head helplessly, Ji Shijun's guy was hacked very badly because he moved too many people's cakes, and their linen textile factory needed to recruit a large number of female workers, and it was rumored that Ji someone would eat eighteen girls for breakfast, thirty-six girls for lunch, seventy-two girls for dinner, and one hundred and eight girls before going to bed.

As a result, two unscrupulous people used multiplication and division to calculate an average of a few minutes at a time, and Ji was so angry that he threatened to wait and see if these two guys stepped into his territory.

Gnaro glanced at Marlena on the ground, shook her head, then turned to Deborah and Tilly and said, "See, this is where gambling ends." ”

"Come to me when you don't have money in the future, don't use your brains. ”

Deborah felt a hint of sympathy, and if she hadn't had time to run away and change her name and surname to avoid debts, she would have ended up like this girl on the ground.

The two nuns, Rukia and Cullen, have no sympathy for Marlena's plight, and gambling is forbidden in all temples.

Tilly was still young and didn't know much, but today's scene was deeply seared in her heart.

At this time, Giovanna on the side was still squatting on the ground, covering her face and sobbing quietly.

A penny is difficult for a hero, and a girl who should have been self-reliant, self-reliant, and confident finally succumbed to money, which made Charles sigh.

Considering that there were too many people at the scene, Charles whispered a few words in his ear to Genaro, and then Genaro left with his detachment of women, and carried Marlena away by the way.

Then Charles helped Giovanna up to sit on the edge of the bed, took out a handkerchief and wiped her face, and then asked, "Isn't the salary in the store enough for living expenses and tuition?"

He remembered that the wages in his shop were always higher than the local average, and although Giovanna was a student worker, there was no reason why she was not as good as a busker student.

Charles threw Valerie an inquiring look, only to her nervous shake of her head, and she also noticed that there was something wrong, and she didn't know that she had overlooked.

Giovanna sobbed and said, "It's the manager, the manager wants me to ...... Woo...... I don't make excuses from him to withhold my wages......"

Charles glared at Valerie, so frightened that Valerie lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.

Then Charles patted Giovanna's hand and whispered, "You rest here for the night first, and everything will be fine tomorrow." ”

After a lethargy, Giovanna immediately collapsed on the bed.

Charles said coldly to Valerie, "Help her sleep in bed and come out." ”

Valerie helped Giovanna sleep in bed and walked out of the room, and saw Charles waiting for her in the corridor not far away, so she cautiously walked over.

She was frightened by Charles's glance just now, and then she remembered that the young master was no longer the young master who could play around with the young lady at will before, he was now a master who could control his own destiny.

"Sir. Valerie bowed respectfully to Charles.

Charles asked her with a gloomy face, "Who is the director here?"

Valerie replied, "It's rhubarb." ”

Charles's face was even more gloomy, this man was a rising star in their family's business, and had lived in the village of the territory for generations.

He also plans to build a greenhouse film factory at home, and transfer this person back to be a second-in-command or third-in-command.

Charles waved his hand and said, "Lead the way, go to the store first." ”

Valerie said, "Sir, there's no one in the store now. ”

Charles sneered at Valerie, reached out and lifted her chin, and said, "It's because there's no one who I'm going, I hope you don't let me down." ”

Valerie's face flushed.
