Byung recalled this goblin as it was always being scolded by their supervisor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello...?\" Byung looked puzzled because he had no idea why he was being spoken to, realising this was the first time a worker was attempting to talk to him, so it was a bit awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblin just stared at him, and this made Byung self-conscious as he had no idea what he wanted or why he was doing what he was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do want something?\" Byung questioned with a raised brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-No!\" The goblin responded, but it kept staring at him without looking away, which made Byung even more uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weirdo...\" Byung thought to himself, but he noticed these goblins were a lot smaller than the average goblins, but that wasn’t the only thing that caught his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those scars...\" Byung didn’t know goblins were harmed physically; however, there was a chance these wounds were gotten from the mines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These scars were certainly not self-inflicted either; they were too deep, but Byung had no interest in diving deeper into this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung wanted to ask him about it, but something told him this was none of his business and diving into it might do more harm than good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was going to leave this place soon; the last thing he needed was to create attachments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung decided to walk away and leave this person to whatever fate awaited him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the corner of his eyes, he noticed a few goblins approaching this timid one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung could tell right away, by the way he tensed up, that these goblins were responsible for the scars on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all lived in a lounge; it wasn’t like they slept and worked in these mines 24\u002F7, but they had something of a life, albeit restricted, outside of work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung never bothered interacting with anyone, as his people skills were lacking, and he had no plans to take his body for granted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He noticed that they waited for him to leave the immediate vicinity, and this was what prompted them to hang just out of their line of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung knew all too well what it felt like to be defenceless, and everything in his mind was telling him to leave this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fucking hell... I can’t leave, can I?\" Byung hated it, but there was no way his conscience wouldn’t judge him if he let these goblins harm the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They tried to take him away to a secluded place; it was against the rules to fight, but in what world did the strong not prey upon the weak?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no different, and Byung stopped these goblins from having their way as he re-entered their line of sight, pretending to have forgotten something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same way he remembered this timid goblin for being scolded was the same way these goblins remembered Byung for being praised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was among the top workers and had benefits they could only dream of; this included food and water, so there was a hierarchy in place to motivate the workers to work even harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smart system for a bunch of monsters that only think about sex and violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung hadn’t noticed the respect he commanded because they stopped in their tracks, not daring to continue what they had initially planned to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\" Byung called out to the timid goblin. He knew deep down that these goblins would whoop his ass if this escalated into a fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timid goblin looked up at Byung; the hope that lingered within his confused gaze told Byung all he needed to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"M-Me?\" The timid goblin was confused, but once again, the goblins were violent by nature, so these goblins assumed this was Byung taking him as a punching bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at each other before backing off. Byung instructed the timid goblin to follow, but was surprised by how easy this was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung was so focused on himself that he had failed to see that there was more to working, and not everyone would pass the test like he had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if that was the case, he would have seen older goblins here, but they were all young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already made a grave miscalculation and had no plans to make one again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung took the goblin around the corner. He sighed and turned back, but the goblin was on his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Byung muttered because the shameful look in his eyes suggested one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I get it now,\" Byung thought to himself, realising why a timid goblin was being picked on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t because he was weak. No, it was due to his feminine features and the fact that there were no women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, they would have to find substitutes for that lapse, and what better substitute than this boy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Want to do it here?\" The goblin asked, and the look of disgust on Byung’s face gave him the answer he was looking for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should fucking karate chop this ugly shit,\" Byung thought to himself because he didn’t swing that way and found this insulting that this creature thought he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I no idea what you do to survive, but I no like this,\" Byung informed him, but speaking this way was beginning to take a toll on his intellect; he could feel his IQ drop every time he did so.\u003C\u002Fp>",1014,"2026-06-06T00:07:35.141Z",1,"novelbin.me","eb5fec60b5ee47da05a7e662673bfc90a3031a5ed420ae308e984648e56d71eb","from-slave-to-king-my-rebate-system-built-me-a-k-chapter-5","from-slave-to-king-my-rebate-system-built-me-a-k-chapter-151",259,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-slave-to-king-my-rebate-system-built-me-a-k-cover.jpg"]
