Chapter 467: Old-Time Servants
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Master!" Ozzic limped over .
"Keep it to yourself . " Anfey did not know whether he should cry or smile . "You were punished with whips instead of being hit with sticks . What happened? Your legs were not broken, were they?"
Ozzic complained immediately . "No, master . Ye did not do me any favors . He whipped with full force . I can take off my shirt to show you if you do not believe me . "
"I don’t care if he did you a favor or not . You do not have to worry about me blaming him for that . " Anfey gave Ozzic a playful look . "I punished you to set an example for others, not to test your friendship with Ye . "
"How could such a shameful thing be an example for others?" Ozzic asked bitterly .
"We will not talk about it . " Anfey signaled the front door with his chin . "Are those criminals ok? Did you get a chance to see your date?"
"Master, she has had nothing to do with me since that day . " Ozzic immediately put on a serious look . "She is just a criminal to me now, with bad intention towards our league . "
Advertisement"Can you really control yourself that well?" Anfey suddenly smiled . "I heard about your story from Ye . I actually can understand you now . "
"My story? What story?" Ozzic was shocked .
"I heard you were starving when you were about 14 years old . You went to steal some food at a businessman’s house and got caught at the scene by the hostess . However, she neither reported you to the patrol, nor gave you a hard time . Instead, she took out a lot of food to feed you . In the end, you even had sex with her . Since then, you have had special interest in the women around 28 years old . Is that right?" Anfey smiled .
"Ye!" Ozzic stompled his foot out of anger and embarrassment . His face was beat red .
"Commander, I had to tell Anfey," Ye said . "Master felt it was odd why you would like Julie when we have many prettier and younger girls in the league . Master kept asking me . I did not dare not tell him . "
Black Eleven, Zubin and few others standing behind Ye tried hard to hold their laughter . Anfey asked Ye in front of Blavi and few others . He did not like to gossip, but Blavi really enjoyed it . Soon, the upper level administrative team all knew Ozzic’s story .
"Master, you should not joke about it," Ozzic said with a low voice, looking sad .
"What’s wrong?’ Anfey was shocked for a second . "Oh, right, didn’t you go to see her a lot when her husband went on business trips? Why did you stop seeing her? I asked Ye, but he did not know . "
"She was killed by her husband," Ozzic said with a low voice . "In fact, she did not have to die, but she tried to signal me and asked me to run . After a few days, I heard she died from disease . She was not sick . Her husband must have killed her . "
Anfey was shocked and sighed, "I am sorry, Ozzic . It was such a bad romance . Forget about it . It’s history now . "
"It is not a secret anymore since everybody knows about it . " Ozzic looked up, and then around the room . He said slowly, "I just hope no one will joke with me about this . " This was the first Ozzic talked in such a serious tone since he joined the League of Mercenaries . It seemed that everyone had something they wanted to keep to themselves .
Black Eleven, Zubin and others all put on serious looks and apologized .
"Others say I am mean and bad, but it does not matter to me . I learned a lot from her . Whoever treats me well, I will return to that person even more . I could even pour my whole heart out . " Ozzic walked to the door, opened it and went outside .
From Anfey to Black Eleven and Zubin, they did not know how to respond . They felt they had better comfort him after Ozzic calmed down . Anfey walked into the jail, with Ye and Black Eleven right behind him .
This was a high-security jail . It was so secure that all the criminals had no privacy at all . A gigantic iron cage hung in the air with four mercenaries underneath to guard it, which completely removed the possibility of escape .
Over 20 people were kept in two iron cages . The cage with females seemed to be roomier, since there were only three of them in it, two girls and the so-called manager . The so-called manager was the woman Ozzic had been dating . Anfey kept dancers and waitresses in a better place, even though they were rude . Anfey did not want to vent his anger out on them . After the investigation, he would let innocent people leave .
People usually did not know how important freedom was until they lost it . Some people might disagree . They might think lives were more important than freedom, since without life, there would be no freedom . On Pan Continent, after people with weak telepathy died, their spirits would disappear quickly . It would be pointless for them to understand this principle .
Three women all looked tired and sad . They had enjoyed a good life, so they could not stand life in jail . They could not sit or lay down too long, otherwise their bodies would become restless . They could not even use the restroom freely . There was only a wood bucket in a corner without anything to block it . Whenever one of them walked to the wood bucket, dozens of mercenaries in the room would follow that woman . Of course, the other two women tried to cover her . It was undeniable that this was inhumane, but this world was developed in terms of magic, not in terms of humanity . It seemed impossible to talk about humanity in the slavery system .
Men did not have a good life either . People usually did not like to talk about height . They felt their height was determined by the genes from their parents and they had no control over it . It did not seem matter to them whether they were tall or short . However, the men like to compare the size of their private parts . One middle-aged man became the joke of the mercenaries . Mercenaries liked to call him "little birdie" at dinner . Even those three women knew what "little birdie" meant . The middle-aged man was a mentor, so the girls did not know whether they should laugh about it, be mad, or ignore it . They could only pretend they did not hear .
Seeing Anfey walk in, the middle-aged man suddenly stood up . He yelled in anger, "Master Anfey, what do you want to do to us? It’s been three days . When will you let us leave?"
"Little birdie, shut the f*ck up," a mercenary yelled before Anfey could say anything .
Those young men did not dare to laugh, but Ye and Black Eleven did not have to hold in too much . Suddenly, people started to laugh . Someone even joked, "Little birdie, tell us how small it is . "
"This small . " The mercenary got excited when he saw Anfey smile . He held his little pinkie out and covered the bottom half with the other hand . He said, "As small as little kid’s snot . "
"Ok, enough . " Anfey waved his hands to stop everyone from laughing . "How could we let you go if you don’t admit who you are . "
"If we never admit it, would you keep us here our whole lives?" The middle-aged man was annoyed by the laughter and forgot to speak with respectful language .
"That would make it too easy for you," Anfey said . "To be honest, the place you kept your secrets were highly secured . We sent out an alchemist and over 20 mages to find it . We did not open your secret chamber until three days ago . "
The man looked shocked . He sounded a little frustrated . "Master Anfey, I do not know what you are talking about . "
"Don’t worry . I will let you know later . " Anfey took a seat on the chair a mercenary carried over for him . Anfey took out a stack of papers from the Dimensional ring . He said slowly, "Really, my league has many talents . We have an alchemist and mages who can remove your magic defensive array . We also have a knowledgeable guy who helped us read those ancient languages . Last but not least, we have a person with super memory . She is our CEO, and she can memorize everything she reads in high speed . She helped me find out all the important and suspicious information . Now I already know who the rangers are . "
"Anfey, I am not that guy," Hui Wei complained . "How could you give compliments in such a sh*tty way?"
"Who said I was talking about you?" Anfey smiled . He laid his eyes back to the middle-aged man . "In fact, I respect your courage and willpower . I even like your strategies, since this is a world that follows the law of the jungle . Unfortunately, you should not have attacked my wife . "
"Master, I really do not understand…" The man gave one last try, but he looked very desperate .
"Actually, it seems that we are meant to meet each other," Anfey said . "You have two hubs . One is in White Mountain City, which I control now, while the other is in Violet City, which is also my feudal estate . "
The man’s lips were trembling, but he tried to keep silent .
"Don’t you understand? For the past thousand years, my loyal Minos servants . " Anfey suddenly looked sharp and cold . "Oh, my bad, the offspring of Minos servants . "
The middle-aged man looked pale . He felt weak and started to fall to the ground . Luckily, the young men held him up . Ye asked in surprise . "Master, which Minos?" He followed Anfey, but did not know what was written on the paper .
"It seems that there is only one well-known Minos," Anfey said . "If your top powers were all in White Mountain City, I probably would not have been able to catch you . "
