The First Evolution - Chapter 543: Got It
To be honest, Daddy Gambos really was not harsh at all. He was quite reasonable.
So Patvin said sensibly,
“Okay!”
Then he simply raised his hands, walked out to the corridor, and said loudly,
“I’m responsible for the incident today. I won’t argue who is right or wrong. If you seek bloodshed, you can kill me!”
“If you’re not going to do that, then we can have a talk.”
Goat said,
“We have no grievances against your company, and we don’t intend to kill anyone. We don’t even mind tipping a few hundred star cash to pick up the goods, but you tried to extort 1 million from us… We can’t afford such a price, so we chose to use force.”
“We only want 1 thing. You hand over Slave No. 279, and we will leave immediately!”
Patvin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. For him, this was really the best result, so he immediately turned back to discuss with Daddy Gambos.
Both of them felt that Slave No. 279 should have a shocking secret which provoked such formidable people. Such a secret was really moving…
However, Patvin saw the bitterness in Daddy Gambos’ eyes. If they wanted to get this secret, they might have to die here.
No matter how good the secret was, if the cost was their lives, they had you have to carefully consider the cost-effectiveness…
Soon, a guy with heavy shackles who seemed to have difficulty walking was brought up.
His clothes were ragged, and he exuded an unpleasant stench.
Not only that, his hair hadn’t been washed for quite some time. It was matted and sticky. His eyes were even covered. He was still playing with his finger when he was brought here, and he made a silly laugh from time to time.
Patvin pulled the slave guy over with a chain and said expressionlessly,
“He is No. 279. Your friend bought him for 78 star currency at that time. You don’t have to worry about us lying to you because the slave collar around his neck can only be opened by the card in your hand.”
“We have been in this business for more than 20 years. We will not ruin our reputation for you guys.”
Looking at No. 279, Fang Linyan wasn’t eager to take over. Instead, he said,
“Wait, I want to know 1 thing. You should be very good at managing slaves, right?”
“However, it is difficult for me to imagine how No. 279 caused you huge losses? In fact, I think it is probably quite difficult for him to urinate and defecate independently now.”
Patvin said with an embarrassed expression,
“I don’t know either. After he was bought by your friend, we improved this guy’s living conditions. After all, his real right to use it now belongs to the customer.”
“Although the relevant liability exemption agreement will be signed in advance, it is not a pleasant thing for the slaves that customers bought to die here.”
“He seized an opportunity and just barely managed to escape. In the process of escaping, he caused us a lot of losses, because he released the other slaves as well.”
“However, the most ironic scene occurred. Among the slaves he let go, 3 actually managed to escape, but he fainted under the wall.”
After hearing Patvin’s words, Fang Linyan suddenly said with great interest,
“Please wait a moment, I want to know one detail here, did No. 279 faint inside the wall or outside the wall.”
Patvin sighed and said,
“Outside the wall. Yes, he was free at that time, but he fainted and didn’t wake up until 3 hours after we caught him.”
“After experiencing this incident, I thought he was good at pretending. In order to punish him, I specially gave him some special treatment, such as putting some poop in his food, but he ate it with relish instead…”
“Haiz, so now I don’t quite understand whether he is pretending or if he is really crazy. Anyway, I don’t think it is possible for a person to pretend to be this level.”
After hearing his words, Fang Linyan nodded and said,
“Okay, got it.”
Then Fang Linyan nodded to Goat, Goat shrugged and said,
“We are just here to retrieve our friend’s slave. We have no intention of offending you, so this 10,000 is our compensation. We hope this matter ends here.”
“Whether you want us to be passersby or enemies is up to you.”
As he spoke, he placed 10,000 star cash on the ground.
Daddy Gambos also knew that he had met a powerful figure he couldn’t afford to mess with. He was also a businessman who believed harmony brings wealth, so he asked Patvin to take the money.
After the money was collected, the tension between both parties eased up a lot. Fang Linyan continued asking,
“I’ll pay another 10,000 to buy a piece of news.”
Daddy Gambos was an experienced businessman. After hearing Fang Linyan’s words, he said,
“Is it about how No. 279 became a slave? No problem!”
“Patvin brought No. 279 back. Just ask him. I have some matters to deal with, so see you.”
Patvin nodded and brought Fang Linyan and the others into the office, saying,
“3 months ago, I heard that a new batch of female slaves had arrived in Starport. It was said that they were mutated human beings produced in the laboratory. They were very similar to the legendary dark elf. This stuff is absolutely a new product. Needless to say, it will definitely be a hot commodity in the slave trading market.”
“So I didn’t wait for the auction and went straight to the seller. As a result, we talked for a long time and finally concluded the deal…”
“Then when I left the seller’s spaceship, I saw this guy lying in the slave cage, rolling his eyes, drooling, and biting his fingernails like a fool.”
“As a professional buyer, I discovered that there are white marks on the ends of this guy’s middle fingers on both hands, which indicates that he might have the habit of wearing rings on the middle fingers of both hands. This is a habit of some noble families! “
“Based on this, I think it’s okay to gamble 100 cash… Facts have proved that he isn’t simple since you guys come for him so aggressively. My vision is still fine! It’s just that we didn’t get the value out of him.”
Fang Linyan nodded slightly and said,
“A very exciting story. We cheer for your good vision. Finally, thank you for your information.”
***
After they left with Slave No. 279, the first thing they did was not to interrogate him, but to clean him up.
This guy seemed very tame. He didn’t move even when taking a bath.
At this time, Fang Linyan saw his true face. He was a very ordinary-looking man of European descent, with a high nose bridge, a hooked nose, and flaxen eyes.
He was probably in his thirties, but his eyes were a little dull. Well, to put it bluntly, he had the eyes of a child with cerebral palsy.
Goat tried to talk to him, but his only response was to laugh.
It was easy to shower him, but no hairdresser would be willing to cut the messy hair.
When Vulture was about to volunteer to shave his head, Goat said that he could do it.
Because his ability to control flames was very proficient, he directly touched it with his hand, and the greasy messy hair was burned away. After cleaning him up and putting on new clothes for him, he seemed to have reborn.
But at this time, Goat told Fang Linyan in the team channel,
“I think I know why this guy is like this.”
After finishing speaking, he pointed at No. 279’s head.
Fang Linyan looked carefully and realized that there was a terrible scar on No. 279’s bald head! The length of this scar even reached dozens of centimeters! A circumcision was made around the head.
He had undergone a terrible craniotomy before, which was probably the reason why he looked like a fool.
Although No. 279 was found at this time, the hidden main mission was never shown to be completed. The key point for completing the mission had not been triggered yet.
And this key was obviously the slave collar.
