Wrong, my skills refresh every week

Life? Exchange myself for my sister?

But if my sister knows that she will die at the hands of adults, will she really assist adults on my behalf?

He began to regret his behavior today, because seeing his relatives in trouble, he was too impulsive and did something he shouldn't have done...

Charles stared at the boy who was lying motionless with his forehead on the ground, and slowly moved away.

"I can't think of it, forget it. My time is precious and I don't have time to waste it here."

"Wait, sir. Please, give me a little more time, I... I will figure it out soon, give me a little more..."

"Yes, you can take everything from me. Anything."

"Too boring." Charles paused, but did not stop: "You are too naive to exchange my possessions with me. You might as well lie to me that there is a golden-haired fox girl among the slaves."

Ai Lin was stunned for a moment: "Fox girl?"

Then he was overjoyed: "Sir, yes! There are indeed several fox girls among the goods brought by the merchants!"

Charles suddenly stopped and turned around: "Are you lying to me? Do you know the consequences of doing this?"

Ai Lin thought: I didn’t know you were interested in this…

Ai Lin said hurriedly: "We saw it in the hands of a slave-hunting group from a Far Eastern island country. However, they did not contact us, but sneaked into the city through their own channels."

Island nation, Far East? Slave-hunting group?

Oh my god! Is there really a butterfly effect?

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Chapter 279: You want to rob my people? You have already got a way to die!

Southwest of the city.

Charles and Ailin walked through the free market and found a hidden secret black market in the warehouse area at the end of the street.

"Where is the person I want?"

He looked around at the gangsters scattered around the city, and spoke in a cold tone.

In front of me was a yellow-haired young man with a non-mainstream hairstyle and a strange look in his eyes:

"Sir, those slaves were brought to the city by slave traders from various places. We don't have that many people to take over. Please be kind and consider your family's financial situation."

Ai Lin explained: "Because of the Great Struggle, rebellions broke out in countries around the world, and the number of defeated prisoners of war and slaves increased dramatically, so some desperate merchants sent the excess slaves to Orario."

"So, the number this time is a bit huge... close to 1000 people."

Orario itself prohibits human trafficking. In this city of heroes, there are various clans and factions, and the culture brought by the gods suppresses the local slave culture.

But sometimes, the more something is banned, the more scarce it is, and the higher the profit will be.

The non-mainstream yellow-haired man said, "You don't know that there is a huge demand for prostitutes in Orario. Even if Lady Ishtar falls, Happy Street will not disappear. Moreover, without the monopoly leader of this highly profitable enterprise, all the merchants are ready to move and drive up prices."

Of course Charles knew.

In Orarium, besides adventurers, the most profitable way to make money is to sell your body in Pleasure Street.

Just like the adventurers, they were surrounded by countless prostitutes until they stood out and made a name for themselves in the city.

There are many prostitutes like the one who tempted Raul in Happy Street. They are eager to tie up adventurers from big factions and gain certain rights.

Eventually open a store of my own.

In order to expand and increase the attractiveness of their stores and attract more powerful adventurers, those business operators will do whatever it takes to increase the quality of their goods and purchase a large number of people.

The guild pretended to be ignorant of all this.

The desires of the manic adventurers, once they have nowhere to vent, are directly linked to the increase in crime rates. The existence of Happy Street is precisely the outlet for the manic adventurers to vent their animal desires.

The guild, as the administrative body, also considered the safety of the citizens and, in order to prevent the pressure from adventurers from being transferred to the city, acquiesced to the actions of the Pleasure Street and the black market.

Based on these, after Ishtar fell, these organizations that were originally engaged in human trafficking had more or less the idea of ​​replacing it.

For them, if they can't sell their products, they might as well open a store on Happy Street and they won't have to worry about sales at all.

Huang Mao picked his nose and said, "Sir, now except for the slaves captured by our own people, we no longer touch the slave trade. At most, we just charge some channel fees from these merchants. This is the same even if Brother Jhara comes."

Hearing this, Ai Lin stared at the expressionless Charles anxiously.

Charles put his hands in his pockets without raising his eyelids: "What I'm asking is, where is the person?"

"Damn, he's just a newcomer who got in through the backdoor, why are you pretending? Didn't I tell you..."

"Snapped!"

With a loud slap, the yellow-haired man was thrown to the ground, followed by a step on his bloody face and a spat.

"What I'm asking is where the person I want is? Why are you talking so much and I don't understand what I'm saying?"

These scumbags who were not even considered cadres had no idea how Ciel had joined the faction.

He wanted to struggle again, but found that his head was stuck to the ground and he couldn't move at all.

Ignoring the yellow-haired man who was shaking so hard that he lost control of his bladder, Charles turned to look at Ai Lin: "Do you know where the person is?"

Ai Lin nodded happily: "I know, I'll take you there right away."

……

In a warehouse in the warehouse area.

There were countless wailing guards lying on the ground. Charles stood in the center of the warehouse, looking around at the cages.

Ai Lin carried out a 14-year-old blonde girl with whip marks all over her body and shivering. Her legs softened and she knelt in front of Charles:

"I…cannot repay you, sir."

"Where is the fox girl I want?" Charles frowned slightly.

Ai Lin said hurriedly: "This is just a warehouse for some merchants. The merchants over there should know the whereabouts of the "Fox Girl."

Ciel closed his eyes impatiently.

Ai Lin grabbed the businessman by the collar and interrogated him like a dog.

The merchant had a dark face, but he didn't dare to resist at all. This masked man killed all the adventurers he hired in an instant. His strength was too terrifying.

"Those country folks from the Far East took the "goods" to find that fellow Ted. Oh, what ignorant fellows they are."

"Ted? Who?"

Who is so bold as to snatch someone from me?

You have a way to die!

The businessman sneered: "Those are the dwarves who run illegal casinos in the city. Ha, those outsiders, do they think this is a small place like theirs? They are wandering around the city with their "goods". I'm afraid they have been caught by the guards now, haha."

Ciel frowned...

If it is true as the businessman said, it would be fine if he was caught by Ganesha, but it would be difficult if he was sold to a casino.

All the entertainment clubs in the prosperous area of ​​Orario belong to various foreign forces. The relationships among them are intricate and complicated, and even the dark factions rarely dare to provoke them.

It's troublesome..., but it doesn't matter. In terms of power, I've never been afraid of anyone.

After asking about the location of Dwarf Ted's casino, Charles turned around and left.

Ai Lin was about to follow, but was interrupted by Xia Er: "You should be able to deal with the problems here."

"Yes."

……

A corner of the city, the House of Stardust.

Charles stood in front of the star-lit residence again and knocked on the door.

After a while, Leila, with crutches in both hands and her lower body fixed with heavy plaster, opened the door.

"Tch, it's you."

"What do you mean it's you..."

"What's up?" Leila pouted. "If you're looking for Iska, I'm sorry, she's not on the ground."

"I'm not here to look for her. Is Leon here?" Charles entered the room and looked around.

"Tsk... you really have your eyes on that guy!" Leila breathed out like a child protecting her: "Give up, I won't give you the chance to do it like Liang."

"Boring. Get out of the way, I have something important to do."

At this moment, Astraea, startled by Leila's voice, slowly walked down the stairs.

"Ah, isn't this Ciel-chan? What a rare visitor."

"Lady Astraea, can you tell me where Liang is?"

Astraea tapped her chin and said, "As for Liang, she should be patrolling the city. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to find her on Daedalus Street at this time."

"But what happened?"

Charles said casually, "The children in the orphanage are missing. I found out that someone is engaging in large-scale human trafficking. But it seems to involve the casino, so I came to Li Ang for help."

Leila was stunned: "Human trafficking? Hey, isn't this a huge incident?"

Astraea asked solemnly: "Specifically?"

"The scale is probably more than 1000 people..."

Chapter 280 Yamato

"1000 people? Are you sure you didn't say 100?" Leila gasped.

"The city is getting more and more excessive." Astralia frowned her beautiful eyebrows, her eyes sharp.

"The Ishtar clan has come to an end. Many combat prostitutes have either died in battle or been taken into "Noname". They have been cooperating with Finn's actions recently." Ciel sighed.

"It happened to be the end of the Great Struggle, and adventurers needed to vent the most. Plus, there were wars in various countries outside the city, so demand increased on one side and production capacity was oversupplied on the other. It was normal for them to hit it off."

"Xiaer-kun, do you know the location of these people?"

"The warehouse behind the Free Market. But I would rather rescue the children who were abducted from the orphanage first. After all, it's a casino, and it's not convenient for me to handle it with my identity." Charles said frankly.

"I understand." Astraea read the implication.

The casino is within the coverage area of ​​foreign forces. In order to ensure diplomatic security, it has always been a key patrol location for the Ganesha clan.

If Joker takes action, there will be no end to the situation.

"I'll go with you." Astraea nodded and said:

"Lila, go tell Alisha to go to the black market. The quantity this time is too large, even for me, we can't just ignore it."

"I'll go." Leila grinned and said stubbornly, "I'm most familiar with the smell of those rats."

"No, you can't do strenuous exercise with your injury."

Without giving Leila a chance to argue, Astraea took Charles away from the Stardust House.

……

The two found Liu who was patrolling near Daedalus Street. After hearing about the problem that Ciel encountered, the upright girl immediately pulled Ciel into action.

"First, we need to confirm the location of the children and see if the Ganesha family has any clues."

"it is good."

The three of them turned and walked to the residence of the Ganesha clan.

"Clang clang, it's Adidas, the street idol who hasn't shown his face for a long time!"

"So who are you introducing yourself to again?"

Adi livened up the atmosphere as always.

"Liang, what's the matter with you coming to see me?" Adi asked in confusion: "Shouldn't you be on patrol at this time?"

"Adi, I want to ask, has the city caught any illegal human traffickers recently?" Liu said frankly.

"This one……"

"Tell me, Adi!" Liu said loudly.
