Towards Eternity
Ch 506's. Unification of All Slums (II)
Weng Lou spent the entire night listening to all the stories and information from the man who was the leader of the Red Devil College branch in Heishin City.
Just when the time was showing in the morning, Weng Lou and the man returned to the top floor where the hallway was very quiet.
There are some people who work in the morning. An example is the old man Weng Lou gave me a bag of silver coins yesterday. He was seen walking with a happy face at the end of the hallway while carrying a broom in his hand.
But then, his smile became stiff as he looked at the figure of Weng Lou who came out from one of the rooms along with the man who was his superior.
"Leader!" he exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly bowed respectfully to the man.
The man simply nodded at him, and continued his path, while Weng Lou followed silently behind him. The old man's eyes looked at him in surprise and full of question marks, how could Weng Lou be together with their leader?
But soon he put those thoughts aside and hurriedly approached Weng Lou.
"Sir, thank you for giving me so much money! I thank you! Thanks to that money, I can pay my daughter's ransom from the slave market! I'm so grateful to you!"
Weng Lou's footsteps stopped, and he turned to look at the old man. Slave market? Is there something like that here? It seemed like there was a very important piece of information that he missed from all the information he got 1 today.
He hid his surprised expression and smiled at the old man.
"Good, I thought you were gonna spend it partying and getting drunk. Then see you later," said Weng Lou, who threw a bag of money a little smaller than he had given the old man yesterday.
"Wear that and buy food for your daughter, lest you make her enter the slave market again."
Weng Lou turned around and continued his path, it was seen that the man who had previously walked with him had stopped and was waiting for him at the turn of the passage a few meters away from where Weng Lou and the old man were.
"Thank you!! Thank you, Master!! I promise I will not let the people from the slave market cheat and take my daughter once again! I've suffered enough to see him forcibly taken from my hand before."
Without turning around again, Weng Lou simply waved his hand in response to the old man's remark. He joked the leader of the Red Devil College branch of Heishin City out of the main building of the college.
Arriving outside, Weng Lou looked at the yellow sky that soon the sun would reveal itself.
Not far from his place, there was a figure of Black Ape Fighters lying in the middle of the field with Du Zhe on top of it. The two fell asleep, which made Weng Lou laugh to see the two of them. Meanwhile, the man who was with him stood still at the exit, fixated on staring at the sleeping figure of the Black Ape Fighter.
He recalled that his information said that there were super great apes that went berserk and slaughtered the guard troops at the foot of the mountain, Black Ape Brawlers must be the apes in question.
"Oi, Du Zhe! Wake up! We will continue our journey in a moment!"
Weng Lou exclaimed from his place and made his voice could be heard clearly by flowing his Qi.
Du Zhe and the sleeping Black Ape Fighters were seen reacting to Weng Lou's words. Du Zhe rubbed his eyes, then changed his position to sit down and stared at Weng Lou at the moment.
He blinked a few times, before finally coming to his full consciousness and instantly leaping down from the top of the body of the Black Ape Fighter. The Black Ape Fighter also immediately rose to his feet and faced Weng Lou who was walking towards them.
"Sorry to keep you waiting for a long time, Du Zhe," Weng Lou said to Du Zhe who had arrived before him.
"It's okay, Master! The night sky in this place is truly beautiful! Last night I saw so many stars in the sky!" Du Zhe said excitedly to Weng Lou.
Weng Lou nodded hearing that. At this time the sky that will soon be bright also still shows the stars in the sky that make anyone will definitely feel amazed.
As he was still staring at the sky, suddenly a voice came from Du Zhe's stomach, and made Du Zhe smile in embarrassment. He lowered his head and laughed awkwardly.
"You must be hungry, let's go find some food in town" Weng Lou asked.
"Good, Teacher!"
The two of them walked together until they came out of the gate of the Red Devil College, leaving behind the figure of the leader of the Red Devil College and the Black Ape Fighters branch who were still in the field.
"Wait for me there, I'll be back after breakfast with my students" said Weng Lou, who disappeared in the distance.
The Black Ape Fighter who was still standing in his place stared silently at the back of Weng Lou who had been invisible again before then lying back on the ground and closed his eyes, then slept.
"Haa..I don't even ask him if he's hungry or not, damn it..." The Black Ape Fighter muttered softly and actually fell asleep a few seconds later.
***
On the city road, Weng Lou realized that there was something different about the city when he passed by yesterday afternoon.
Many items were strewn across the street, as well as a few splashes of blood adorning the walls of several buildings they passed by. Du Zhe just walked around without realizing it, while Weng Lou started to get busy with his thoughts.
He recalled the previous old man saying that his daughter had managed to redeem her at the slave market. The slave market made him a little curious as he had not heard anything about this from Wuyong, Biantai, and the warrior leaders in the ten other cities in the slums.
"Hey, Du Zhe," call Weng Lou.
Du Zhe who was walking in front of Weng Lou immediately looked back and put on a question mark face.
"You've heard of the Slave Market before?" Weng Lou asked directly to her.
Hearing that question, Du Zhe fell silent for a while and then nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I know what it is." Du Zhe replied briefly.
"really? Can you explain that to me?"
"Ah, em.good. The Slave Market, as the name suggests, was a place where slaves were traded. The place that sold it was opened by the Emperor himself and was in every city on Fanrong Island, except in the slums. Only Heishin City had it because the city became a trading place that was often visited by some people from outside the island.
Most important of all, the one who held the main key of this Slave Market was the emperor himself. He would even specifically dispatch the slaves according to the order desired by the neighboring kingdoms or empires. I.... previously I was sold in the Slave Market also by my uncle, before then sent to City 3 to work as an imperial slave," explained Du Zhe whose eyes began to look teary.
That's a pretty rincin explanation for6anak his age. But Weng Lou understood that Du Zhe must have had a mental injury to this, visible from his face that was ready to cry at any time. Weng Lou felt a little guilty asking him this.
Both of them remained silent as they continued their journey. After walking for about five minutes, they arrived at a fairly large building that had two levels.
Only this building seemed clean from all sorts of chaos that Weng Lou and Du Zhe had passed through.
'Heishin City Restaurant.'
Only three words were written on the top of the building. Without much talking, Weng Lou and Du Zhe entered the building.
Inside were several men who were busy wiping the table and arranging chairs. In the front left corner, there is a table that Weng Lou believes must be a cashier table.
Weng Lou stared at the inside of the building for a while and then saw a staircase leading to the second floor of the building. Weng Lou immediately walked up to the stairs, followed by Du Zhe behind him.
As they reached the stairs and were ready to climb up, a man who was compiling a chair near them suddenly stood up and blocked the two of them.
"Where are you guys going?" ask her with her already puckered forehead.
"Hm? We're going up, why?" asked Weng Lou with his innocent face.
"The second floor is only for the soldiers and government people, as well as the people from the Red Devil College. Other than them people are forbidden to ride," the man explained.
Next to Weng Lou's eyebrows raised heard that. He raised his hand, and a bag of money appeared in his hand. He lightly threw the bag of money at the man.
"Don't be so much nonsense, make us your best food. If the taste of your cooking is not good for me at all, then I will crush this restaurant to the ground."
The man immediately caught the bag of money that Weng Lou threw at him. He laughed mockingly at Weng Lou's confidence.
He opened the bag and the golden reflected light immediately dazzled his eyes, causing him to narrow his eyes.
"Ko-Gold coins!!!!" shocks surprised.
His voice was so big that it could be heard by other people inside the building. Seen expressions of surprise from their faces when they heard the man's voice.
Gold coins! Did they not hear wrong just now?!
Of the three types of coins, it is clear that gold coins are the largest and most valuable. This one coin could make a shabby beggar run into a wealthy merchant overnight! And the amount that was in the bag of Weng Lou's giving was not just one, but ten!!
Ten gold coins! It was the amount of revenue a year the restaurant Weng Lou was in right now, and Weng Lou gave it away.
Weng Lou who saw the attitude of the man in front of him immediately walked past him and began to climb the stairs to the second floor. Du Zhe who was stuck in his place hurriedly regained his senses and immediately followed Weng Lou up the stairs.
"Wait for me, Master!" said Du Zhe.
While Weng Lou and Du Zhe climbed onto the second floor, a burly, tall man was seen walking out of one of the rooms on the first floor of the restaurant building. A serious look on his face and he walked towards the man who had previously blocked Weng Lou.
The crane!
His hand moved quickly and took the money bag out of the man's hand and directly put it under his shirt.
"Boss?!" the man's screams were shocked.
"What are you daydreaming about?! Get back to work!" The burly man called out fiercely to him.
The man who was snapped immediately left as soon as he received the call.
"All of you!!! Work with all your might, make all the best food of our restaurant and serve it to the Young Master who was on the second floor. Make him feel what the world is enjoying through our restaurant!!"
""Okay Boss!!!""
Everyone exclaimed excitedly and went straight to work on what the burly man had instructed. They would cook the number 1 meal they had at the Heishin City Restaurant where Weng Lou and Du Zhe were located.
