"No matter how you incurred his enmity, Clark is an earth rider, you can't act rashly." Emily couldn't help but remind Han Shuo worriedly when she saw Han Shuo's killing intent.
Nodding with a faint smile, Han Shuo comforted Emily, "Don't worry, I'm not a rash person. If I didn't have absolute certainty, I would never make a move against him."
Emily finally relaxed after Han Shuo's words and said to Han Shuo, "I'm not too sure if Clark is in Valen City right now. I've heard that he's about to return, but I haven't received any news yet. I'll tell you if Clark really does return to Valen City, but Valen City is the territory of the Gryphon Legion, you must be extremely careful. "
"Understood, what should we do next?" Han Shuo asked Emily.
Grabbing a fur coat from a nearby chair and putting it on, Emily stood up and straightened her clothes, saying to Han Shuo, "I'll take you to a place and see if we can gather anything."
Emily stood up and looked at herself in the mirror as she straightened her clothes. At this moment, Han Shuo's heart stirred as he recalled some of the jewels he'd obtained from the Forest Troll Holy Land. He couldn't help but take out a large necklace made of red agate and walked gently behind Emily, helping Emily put it on her fair neck.
On her snow-white, beautiful neck, there was an additional ruby necklace that shone with a faint halo. It made Emily's beauty stand out even more, adding a bit of grace and nobility to her temperament.
Although Emily's status was noble and she'd seen all kinds of jewels before, the meaning of this red agate necklace was naturally different when Han Shuo gently helped her put it on. Thus, when Han Shuo gently helped her put on the red agate necklace, Emily's eyes sparkled as she looked very happy.
"Bad brat, you know how to please people now!" Emily smiled and hugged Han Shuo tightly. She took the initiative to give Han Shuo a kiss. Then, she reached out to wipe the kiss mark on Han Shuo's lips and walked out of the room.
When she walked out of the room, her expression returned to normal. She instructed Chester, "Go and prepare a carriage. We need to go somewhere."
"It is my pleasure to serve you," Chester said respectfully, and walked away dutifully.
When Emily and Han Shuo walked out of the inn, Chester's carriage had also been found. Han Shuo and Emily sat inside, while Chester and the coachman sat outside. Under Emily's instructions, they headed south of Valen City.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a spacious house. There were many luxurious carriages parked in front of the house. There were some valiant swordsmen standing in front of the door, broadswords in hand. All sorts of warriors in metal armor patrolled the house. It looked like the security was very tight.
Emily didn't say much, and Han Shuo didn't ask either. When they reached the door, Emily flashed a card and the two guards at the door immediately let them pass. Emily led Han Shuo and Chester into the house.
After passing through a cobblestone corridor, the three entered a spacious hall. The interior of the hall was abnormally bright, and there were a dozen or so large furnaces burning in the surroundings, making the entire hall seem very warm. There were many metal cages in the surroundings, with all sorts of male and female slaves within. Some of the male slaves were tall and strong, looking like they were made for hard labor. The female slaves were more beautiful, wearing very little clothing, and their exposed skin was full of temptation.
Many well-dressed men and women were pointing at the slaves in the cages in the hall, pulling over smiling slave traders to discuss the price. Many of them were wearing military uniforms, and from the griffin insignia on their shoulders, it was clear that they were members of the Empire's Griffin Legion.
"This is the largest slave trading house in Valen City, and the master behind the scenes is the Griffin Legion's commander, Bobby Ascher. If you look at the guards around you, you'll see that they all have a strict sense of discipline. They're clearly regular soldiers in the army. Although they've taken off their uniforms, it's hard to change their temperament, "Emily explained to Han Shuo in a low voice as she pretended to look around.
Han Shuo's heart jumped when he heard Emily's words, and he couldn't help but open his mouth in astonishment, "The Empire has clear rules that all officials and nobles are not allowed to participate in the slave trade. This Bobby Ascher actually dares to do this?"
"In Valen City, Bobby Ascher is the local tyrant. Many people know that he's the master behind the scenes of the largest slave trading house. Even His Majesty is aware of this. However, because Bobby Ascher has made great contributions to the Empire, His Majesty has turned a blind eye to his actions when he didn't have any intentions of rebelling.
But now that some of Bobby Ascher's actions have jeopardized the interests of the Empire, we can't sit idly by. As long as we can gather evidence of this largest slave trading house in Valen City, we can also use it as an excuse to arrest Bobby Ascher. "Emily's eyes darted around as she slowly moved closer to Han Shuo's ear and explained.
Chester, who'd come in with the two, was a bit taken aback when he saw that Emily's attitude towards Han Shuo was so intimate.
However, as a qualified member of the Dark Mantle, Chester naturally knew that there were some things that he had to pretend he hadn't seen, even if he saw them. Therefore, when Emily noticed his gaze, Chester hastily lowered his head. When he lifted his head again, his expression had returned to normal. However, when he looked at Han Shuo, his gaze revealed surprise, admiration, and even a bit of envy.
"The slaves here aren't good enough. I'll take you to see better goods. Maybe you can pick one that you like and take her back as a servant girl or something." When the two guards walked towards Han Shuo and Emily, Emily suddenly raised her voice and reached out to pull Han Shuo, making their way through the hall to another room.
When they reached the door, Emily once again flashed the card. The guard at the door checked it and respectfully let them in, saying, "Beautiful madam, I hope you'll be able to obtain a slave that you'll be satisfied with."
Giggling delicately, Emily turned around and nodded at Han Shuo, then said with a smile, "Come in."
There was a somewhat dim corridor inside. The floor was covered with a soft red carpet, and glass lamps hung high above. There were scrolls of paintings on the walls of the corridor, and there was a guard standing guard every ten steps.
After walking for a minute, the three entered a ring-shaped auction hall. This auction hall was very lavishly decorated, like a movie theater. There were ordinary seats, as well as some small rooms for VIPs. When Emily arrived, she walked into a small room on the left and exchanged a few words with the person inside. She swiped her crystal card and was respectfully led by a guard to the room above.
As soon as Han Shuo came in, he heard the clamor of bids. An extremely valiant barbarian was imprisoned in a cage. He let out a beast-like roar, and the people below raised their cards one after another to bid on this valiant barbarian.
"Some nobles like to fight. They will choose their own gladiators to have a private competition, and the competition will end with the death of one of the gladiators. That's why they come here to choose some powerful slaves because slaves are the most convenient and worry-free." When Emily brought Han Shuo and Chester to the room above, she calmly explained to Han Shuo.
Han Shuo nodded to show that he understood. When he walked into the room, he saw that there was a bidding sign. Han Shuo glanced at it and saw that there was a simple magic device. As long as he moved the magic device, the amount of the bid would be displayed in front of the door of the room. It was very convenient.
"Some people have noble statuses, or avoid certain things, and don't want others to discover that they are in this place. Therefore, there is a need for these kinds of rooms that can conceal their bodies and see the outside, but those outside cannot see the people inside." When they arrived, Emily's eyes sparkled as she observed the people on the stage and below. She explained to Han Shuo faintly.
"I'm sure that the guests of Valen City below will recognize the next person up for auction. She is the young miss of the Addison family of Valen City. The matter of the Addison family colluding with the Kasi Empire was discovered by the wise commander of the Gryphon Legion. The Addison family was completely destroyed a few days ago, and all the traitors were executed. The young miss of the Addison family was reduced to a slave.
Heh heh, this unruly young miss was once very famous in Valen City. Her breasts are now very full, and she's still a virgin. I'm sure that everyone below will be very interested in this unruly young miss of Valen City. " An organizer dressed in formal attire on the stage explained with a smile, arousing the curiosity of those below. He then suddenly raised his arm and shouted, "Miss Lisa of the Addison family. Oh, little Lisa is no longer a young miss, but a female slave that you will take home and indulge in. The starting price is three hundred gold coins, begin the auction!"
A cage was slowly lowered from above as soon as he finished speaking. A teary-eyed Lisa appeared in Han Shuo's field of vision. She wore a sensual muslin dress, and her voluptuous breasts were bulging.
