I am Master Maoshan

Under the dim light, the chained man stood opposite Gao Ming, their eyes communicating in silence.

This silence is a bit uncomfortable for Liu Jun, because he still has five compatriots waiting for him to save, so urgent.

"Lao Gao, do you know him?" Liu Jun tried to break the silence and asked.

"I know you." Gao Ming replied, his voice slightly excited. However, at the same time, the chained man also said the words "I don't know" hoarsely.

The corner of Liu Jun's mouth twitched. If he hadn't met Gao Ming's crush, the Zoroastrian saint, it would be hard for him not to guess whether there was an unclear relationship between the two people.

"How did you end up like this?" Gao Ming frowned, his eyes still fixed on the man.

The man who was chained did not say a word, his eyes revealed a deep pain and helplessness.

At this time, the steward next to him saw that this was an acquaintance and immediately saw a business opportunity.

"Sir, is this your friend? He was sent here for consignment by his employer because he violated the employment agreement. You can take him away for only two million divine coins." The steward's voice was full of greed and cunning.

Liu Jun didn't think the money was much. To him, two million divine coins were just a drop in the bucket.

"Then what, why don't you redeem your friend first, and you guys can watch it slowly?" Liu Jun suggested after pondering for a moment.

Before Gao Ming could say anything, the manager immediately called his men to come forward and untie the chains on the man.

He didn't doubt whether these people would default on their debts. He had just carefully observed that the clothes these people were wearing were worth at least hundreds of thousands of divine coins. These were not ordinary rich people.

"This is two million divine currency notes. You should know where to redeem them." Liu Jun took out a stack of divine currency notes with an expressionless expression.

The manager's smile was as bright as a chrysanthemum. He hadn't even seen the few ascended slaves yet, but he was willing to spend two million to buy such a guy, a real big customer.

"I know, I know." The steward reached out and took the stack of divine coins with a smile on his face.

This one is a denomination of 100,000 divine coins, which can be exchanged for divine coins at any Golden Liufu money box.

But the man who had regained his freedom did not look at Gao Ming. Instead, he came straight to Liu Jun and bowed slightly: "Since you paid to save me, then I will be your slave."

There was no trace of polish in the man's eyes or expression, and he seemed to have lost all emotion.

Liu Jun frowned slightly and said firmly: "You are a wise friend, then you are my friend, you don't have to be like this."

But the man remained silent and showed no reaction, as if he had turned into a robot.

Liu Jun sighed and didn't care. He waved his hand and asked the person in charge to continue leading the way.

He didn't know what was going on between this buddy and Gao Ming, and he didn't want to know. After all, he didn't have the skills of the neighborhood committee aunt and couldn't mediate.

Before Liu Jun took a few steps, he saw a fat figure trotting over unsteadily. The weight of the man made Liu Jun feel that the ground was shaking slightly.

"Me? You have such a rich slave?" Liu Jun was quite surprised and couldn't help blurting out.

Of course, this was just a joke. The pot-bellied man in front of him didn't look like a slave. After all, it was difficult to sell someone with such wealth.

The steward next to him gave a wry smile and responded: "This belongs to our shopkeeper, and everything here is under his control."

There was a kind of helplessness in the steward's tone, and he seemed to be a little helpless about the arrival of the shopkeeper.

When he saw the shopkeeper running over, he knew in his heart that what happened next had nothing to do with him. No matter how much money the new slaves sold, it had nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, he had reacted quickly, otherwise he might not have been able to get the commission from selling this slave.

"I just learned that you are here, so I'm sorry for not being able to welcome you from afar." The fat shopkeeper came up to him with a smile on his face.

He had just heard the conversation between Liu Jun and others. Although he was not very happy, for him, such big shots needed him to fawn over.

Even if you point at his nose and scold him, he can only smile. In his eyes, maintaining relationships with these big shots is the most important thing.

"It's okay. We came here because we want to see those slaves who have ascended. They haven't been sold yet, right?" Liu Jun asked the fat shopkeeper with a smile.

When the fat shopkeeper heard this, he immediately smiled: "No, no, I'm just waiting for you. Come with me." He responded quickly, for fear of neglecting this very wealthy customer.

After following the fat shopkeeper for a distance and descending a few stairs, Liu Jun and Gao Ming came to a darker place. This place is in sharp contrast to the bustling outside, and there is a depressing atmosphere in the air.

In front of a spacious iron cage, the fat shopkeeper stopped. Liu Jun took a closer look and found that there were three men and two women in the iron cage. Their figures were dodging around in the iron cage, looking frightened. Their bodies were covered with bloody marks, and even their faces were scarred, with not a single intact spot.

Several strong men around him were waving whips in their hands, and swung them towards the iron cage from time to time. The painful groans and the sound of whips are intertwined to form the unique "music" here.

Liu Jun frowned, a trace of anger and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"What are you doing?" When the fat shopkeeper saw this scene, he immediately turned gloomy and asked loudly. "Didn't I ask you to entertain these guests?" The fat shopkeeper's voice was so thunderous that it made people's ears buzz. His face turned dark, as if a storm might come at any moment.

The strong men wielding whips stopped immediately, came to the fat shopkeeper and stood in a row.

"Who told you to whip you with a whip?" the fat shopkeeper asked angrily.

Seeing no one replied, the fat shopkeeper flew up and kicked one of the strong men away.

"Shopkeeper, didn't you ask us to discipline them?" One of the strong men asked with a puzzled look on his face. He looked at the fat shopkeeper in horror, as if he was seeing a devil.

"Don't you know how much the last one sold for? Who asked you to discipline him like this?" The fat shopkeeper kicked the strong man out again. His eyes were cold, as biting as ice.

How can you sell it at such a high price? Failure to sell at a high price would delay his ability to make money, which he couldn't bear at all.

Liu Jun first suppressed the excited Liu Qingxuan, turned around and asked, "Is this what you usually do?"

The fat shopkeeper hurried over and replied cautiously: "Sir, this is all a misunderstanding. Normally, these guys are used to disciplining other slaves, and their attacks are not serious. I will have people come over and apply medicine to these slaves. I promise. Recover as before." He said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"No need, you can use the medicine yourself later." Liu Jun said, and instantly made a move, placing the Dark Sword on the fat shopkeeper's shoulder.

"Sir, don't you dare to joke." Feeling the sharpness of the Underworld Sword, the fat shopkeeper instantly turned pale with fright.

Gao Ming also followed suit and beat the strong men around him to the ground.

"Play a game. I'll ask you questions. There will be no reward for correct answers, and there will be penalties for wrong answers." Liu Jun smiled slightly, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

"You, you said, I must tell you everything I know," the fat shopkeeper said quickly, beads of sweat falling from his forehead unconsciously.

"First question, can you open this cage?" Liu Jun asked, staring at the fat shopkeeper sharply.

He had just observed carefully that this cage was specially made. If an external force tried to force it open, it would most likely injure the people inside.

Before the fat shopkeeper could answer, Liu Jun raised his sword and lowered it. A cold light flashed, and one of the fat shopkeeper's ears was cut off.

"Ah!" The fat shopkeeper screamed. His body went limp and he was about to lie down, but a sword was held on his neck.

"The answer is too slow. Let me ask again, can you open this cage?" Liu Jun continued in a stern tone. The tip of the sword lightly scratched the fat shopkeeper's skin, leaving a blood mark.

The pain and fear made the fat shopkeeper unable to think. He shook his head in panic, tears sliding down his cheeks: "Sir, I really can't, please forgive me!"

Liu Jun's eyes turned cold, and the force of the sword tip on the fat shopkeeper's neck increased, forcing him to answer: "No? Then next time it won't be as simple as cutting off the ears."

The fat shopkeeper's fear reached its peak. He struggled to answer, but couldn't say a word. In the moment he hesitated, Liu Jun's sword had already cut his clothes, and blood dripped down the tip of the sword and fell to the ground.

"The key, there is a key to open it, it's in Wu Gongfeng's hand," the fat shopkeeper finally plucked up the courage to say.

"Who is Wu Gongfeng?" Liu Jun frowned.

"Yes, he is sent by our main trading house. He is a master at the peak of the god level. On the surface, I have the final say on all matters here, but many things require his approval," the fat shopkeeper said tremblingly.

"Where are the others?" Liu Qingxuan asked anxiously.

Seeing the miserable situation of the five people who came up with her, her heart was aching and she wanted to open the cage immediately to rescue them.

"Go, he is in Dan City, I have sent a message for him to come back," the fat shopkeeper said with a sad face.

Originally, he thought that he would be able to buy everyone when a big customer came, so he notified Wu Gongfeng. Unexpectedly, they didn't want to buy it, but wanted to snatch it away.

"What do you mean, you're useless?" Liu Jun said expressionlessly.

"It's useful. There is another way. I have a spare key here. Although I can't open the cage directly, I can close the mechanism above. You can just find a way to forcefully open the cage."

"Where is the key?" Liu Jun wanted to scold her, why didn't she tell me earlier? I feel like killing this guy.

"On me." The fat shopkeeper untied his clothes tremblingly, took out a key from his arms and handed it to Liu Jun.

Liu Jun took the key, looked at it, and handed it back, "Very good, now go and turn off the mechanism above."

The fat shopkeeper was relieved, hurriedly walked to the cage, and closed the mechanism on the cage with the key.

The next second, another cold light flashed, and the fat shopkeeper instantly collapsed to the ground, with only one thought in his mind, "My life is at stake."
