He couldn’t let Drekk get his hands on him, and to some extent, it worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drekk had no interest in their mines at first and only came to scold them for their poor quota, but that interest increased overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had to be a reason for that sudden change, which was why Murkfang expected Drekk to come much sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to put his plan into motion right away because Drekk could appear at any moment, but he made a terrible miscalculation with the timing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drekk no longer followed protocol; he came at random times, and Murkfang realized he must have had a mole in the mine reporting directly to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Murkfang was sure Drekk would come—but what if there had never been a mole in the first place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if what happened the first time was pure chance? It was a strong possibility, considering Drekk wasn’t aware of the orcs or the forges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That information would have changed everything happening inside the mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murkfang didn’t know about these new developments, but he was certain the goblins must have already assumed he was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature he saw on the wanted poster—Murkfang had gained something he never thought possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world was far bigger than he’d imagined, and that scared him—but it was something he knew Byung would appreciate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murkfang knew he lacked the means to use all the information he’d gathered, but he had gained entry deep into human territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was messy, but it still counted as infiltration, no matter how it happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemies might be searching for him, but the place was too vast for them to find him easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was an advantage—and with his disguise, he could slip in and out unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young boy who painted him wanted Murkfang to stay longer, but Murkfang left the room that same night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An escape attempt—or at least that’s what the boy thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the humans could use what they knew to torture more precise answers out of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murkfang couldn’t make the same mistake that had landed him in this mess to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to be patient and learn more about these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung had sent out a search party. He didn’t need to inform Gribnox of this development because it would make no difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was something he had to do on his own—he was the sole goblin responsible for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The construction of houses was almost complete. Their smaller sizes meant they didn’t need to build exceptionally tall structures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were done with the foundations—it was simple and not too complex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better than sleeping under a leaking roof; they deserved this level of comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Byung was focused on his work, a commotion broke out at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goblins were whispering among themselves, but Borkle’s eyes met Byung’s in the distance as if he was looking for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mouthed something, and Byung tried to understand what he was saying, slowly repeating it to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shit is black...\" Byung pondered what that could mean. Was it some strange insight Borkle had discovered, or was he literally telling him the color of their shit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he saw it—it was Maui, and as expected, she didn’t look good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She is back...\" Byung muttered under his breath, realizing that’s what Borkle had been trying to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung rushed to her side to see what was wrong and saw she was covered in dirt and dust, as if she’d crawled across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where have you been!?\" Byung demanded in front of everyone, but Maui looked far too tired to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone noticed she still had her dual swords, but Naz and Naruz ran up and embraced her—they had feared the worst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shouldn’t have been gone this long, and both of them knew Maui was hiding something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maui had her secrets, and they never questioned her, because whatever she kept from them never affected how she treated them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung stayed silent. He hadn’t realized how much her absence had affected him until now—his heart was thumping, and relief showed clearly in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung never hid how he felt about anyone or anything. He wasn’t evil, but he was impulsive, just like any goblin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torgzit’s broken jaw was proof of that. Maui met his gaze and didn’t need to be told that this goblin cared about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was something important she needed to tell him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have so much to tell you, master,\" Maui said, and Naz and Naruz shared puzzled looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master?\" they thought in unison, though Naruz had a good idea why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be that damn cock of his—it had a way of turning their minds into sex-depraved machines that craved only him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maui noticed the place looked very different now. There were new structures, and some were large enough to accommodate her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a kind gesture from Byung and the goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, too, have a lot to tell you,\" Byung responded, partly flustered that she’d called him master so publicly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung welcomed Maui back into the comfort of his home. She noticed he had expanded the ceiling so she no longer had to slouch to fit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled—this showed he had been thinking about her. It was refreshing to have someone care for her, despite her own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the day, she was still a lady, and Byung treated her that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t treat her like a fragile flower. He respected her strength but still saw her as feminine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the opposite of how the orcs treated her, where strength was the only compliment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure you don’t need anything? We can talk later, you don’t look so good,\" Byung said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to make sure she was in the right state of mind—that was what mattered most to him right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe I could use a shower...\" Maui said. She was covered in dirt, and there was no doubt a shower would help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m on it!\" Byung exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t treat her like a slave, despite the title she used. If anything, he treated her as an equal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Maui knew deep down that her life would likely end when she conceived his child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was inevitable because there was a high chance his offspring would inherit some of his unique traits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be revolutionary for the goblins—something that could evolve their entire race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such high quality, she knew it might not just be one goblin she bore, but an entire litter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn’t unusual among their kind, but low semen quality usually made even one successful birth rare. A litter was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched as Byung hurriedly prepared a place for her to shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made sure it suited her—she couldn’t just shower anywhere like the other goblins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come here...\" Byung’s gentle voice called, and Maui slowly stripped. Byung saw wounds on her body he hadn’t noticed before but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is okay if you no longer find me attractive,\" Maui said quietly. There was a chance he might not like her scarred body anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung chuckled at her words, watching her body stiffen in shame as if afraid to show him the marks she carried from battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re beautiful, Maui, with or without the scars,\" Byung said softly. Gesturing for her to come to him so he could take his time and wash her from head to toe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Byung didn’t know the story but something told him he had a hand to play in this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each scar on her body was a reminder of what she was willing to do for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every words that came out of his mouth was the truth, there was no deception within them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maui didn’t understand why she was feeling this way toward a goblin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell is this?\" she thought, as her heart thumped in her chest like it was trying to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>",1552,"2026-06-06T00:07:35.419Z",1,"novelbin.me","44f192b597d14bf70da5fb67f6e8a492e6792204a332e8a5593a01443c467d77","from-slave-to-king-my-rebate-system-built-me-a-k-chapter-78","from-slave-to-king-my-rebate-system-built-me-a-k-chapter-76",259,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-slave-to-king-my-rebate-system-built-me-a-k-cover.jpg"]
