Chapter 73

"Logically speaking, someone who can run a bookstore shouldn't be the type to sell their child."

After bathing, a group of children discussed this issue at the rice bowl, wanting to use analysis to encourage Green.

"But when I was stuffed in a sack and taken away, my parents both had worried, bitter expressions."

However, Green still wore a dejected look; the more he recalled his parents' behavior before he became a slave, the more he believed his parents had encountered difficulties and chose to sell him.

After all, many companions were in this situation; for example, Damu from Rubber Tree Village, and unlike Damu, even if his parents truly had some hardship and sold him, Green still found it hard to forgive this matter and chose to stay.

"It might be a misunderstanding, you never know."

"No, the more I think about it, the more I feel it's like this."

"It's fine, I'll go to your home tonight to check; if it really is like this, I can help you beat them."

Broly said, raising his small fist.

"Right, right."

The little companions chimed in agreement.

"Big Brother, and everyone..."

Green was a bit moved, yet didn't know what to say.

With Broly's declaration and the little companions' support.

Green felt that no matter what the truth was, he had the courage to face it.

At worst, put down a sum of money and buy himself back.

Then, from now on, alive he is Big Brother's man, dead he is Big Brother's ghost.

"Alright, let's eat first."

The whole roasted lamb was served, paired with bread made from fine wheat, the taste was extremely good.

"Finally, we get to eat a meal without the blood smell again."

On the faces of the group of children, overflowed the happiness of being satisfied by food.

"Next time on the carriage we must bring enough water, so that after solving the people who deliver to the door, we can promptly wash away the bloody smell."

Originally there were some people around with ill intentions toward this group of children; leaning in to hear Broly and the others chatting while eating.

Thinking of the rumors of the Child Demon Killing Caravan that leaves no survivors, brought along by some merchant caravans and slave traders arriving in this city these two days, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts and silently retreated.

The wicked fear the fierce; obviously, because of some good people who delivered to the door, the reputation of the small team led by Broly was harmed again.

"Who are you, what do you want to do?"

As the sky grew late, Fran Cabrera was just preparing to close the door, when suddenly a group of people surged into the bookstore.

This sudden change made the man hurriedly retreat, running to the counter, grabbing a broom.

"Who we are, I think you know clearly; the bookstore matter made Mr. Telawei very unhappy, that gentleman sent us to come solve this problem for him."

The leading burly man spoke thus, pulling out a transfer contract.

"If Mr. Cabrera doesn't want you and your wife to suffer, then obediently sign it; Mr. Telawei said, the money, he will pay according to the quotation he gave you today, this is your last chance."

"You bastards dream on, I said it, unless I see my son."

"Heh, I knew it would be like this; since that's the case..."

"Wait, I'll sign."

"What, you know fear now?"

"You've already brought my son back, then I will also keep my promise."

"What your son?"

The leader was a bit unclear on the situation.

"Green!"

Just heard the woman beside him, excitedly shouting toward the front door.

"?!"

The leader was startled, turned his head, and saw the boy who had been kidnapped by them three months ago, yet was taken away by some bastard unknown, now standing at the bookstore front door with another group of children, staring blankly at the situation inside the bookstore.

"You actually came back?"

He was a bit surprised.

"It's you!"

Green will forever remember the sound of the guy who took him away with a sack. "Right, we've already brought your son back, so just sign this transfer deed."

Lord Telawei's order to him was to force this store's owner to sign the bookstore transfer deed.

And if the Cabrera couple softened, then don't kill people and burn the store.

Because taking the bookstore that way would cost a greater price.

Now is undoubtedly the best situation.

The Cabrera couple's missing son, unexpectedly ran back on his own.

"Sign what, and also, what do you mean I was brought back by you?"

Green asked, he detected something wrong here.

"Go make that little ghost quiet."

The leading burly man ordered the little brother beside him; the little brother nodded and walked toward the front door.

How this store owner's son came back ultimately doesn't matter.

What matters is, don't let the other party speak nonsense now, ruining our completion of the task Lord Telawei assigned.

And if this time we can handle things beautifully, it will definitely offset the bad impression caused by last time's failure and mistake.

"Come on, Mr. Cabrera, right now you just..."

Before the leading burly man could finish speaking, the little brother who had just walked toward the front door flew past from the side.

With a bang, the little brother crashed into the bookshelf, books clattering down and burying him.

"Ow~"

The wails rising from below proved the other party was still alive.

"Green, since it was this bunch who abducted you and sold you into slavery, let's knock them down first, then get the full story."

Broly retracted his throwing motion and said a sentence to the glasses-wearing boy beside him.

"You rotten brat!"

The leading burly man was furious to the extreme; hitting his little brother was tantamount to slapping his face, and being slapped in the face by a child — this was simply an unprecedented humiliation...

"Slap slap slap~"

"The situation is like this: Lord Telawei plans to do business flipping appreciating land around the expanded new slave market.

To take over this bookstore, three months ago he had me abduct the bookstore owner's son, originally intending to use him as intimidation.

But..."

The leading burly man, beaten black and blue, soon confessed the reason behind the kidnapping.

Learning his parents hadn't sold him, Green felt relieved.

But he was also very angry; he walked up and delivered a kick, stomping on the crotch of the bastard kneeling on the ground.

"Ow~"

The burly man groaned in pain, clutching his crotch as he fell to the ground, curling up like a shrimp.

"Green~"

"Mom, Dad, I'm back."

What followed was a family reunion, a scene of them embracing together.

Although he had seen this kind of scene many times, Green had after all come out of the forest together with them, and was still the last child to leave the team.

So, his little partners still didn't stint on giving him applause.

"Speaking of which, how should we deal with this bunch?"

Akame pointed at the seven lying on the ground and asked.

If this were outside the city, this question might not need asking.

"Make it look like they died of sudden illness, how about that?"

Hokuto. Me. Shenquan. Rado suggested.

"Or alternatively, we could capture them and feed them to Danger Beasts outside the city?"

Esdeath also offered a solution.
