Maple Leaf Slave Group Branch

When Matthews came knocking, he found that the Maple Leaf Slave Group was still located in the same place; it hadn't changed at all in all these years!

Having worked in this trade for years, Fei Angsa, who was originally a level 6 warrior, had broken through to the level 7 warrior realm a few years back. Consequently, he had replaced the former leader of this branch and become the person in charge.

At this moment, he was lying in the courtyard soaking up the sun, leisurely sipping tea.

"Bang--"

A heavy, powerful sound rang out, and Fei Angsa watched as the wooden gate he had recently renovated flew straight into the middle of the courtyard.

"Who dares to come to the Maple Leaf Slave Group's territory to cause trouble!"

Matthews walked through the gate leisurely, glancing at the slave traders who had gathered around upon hearing the commotion.

He then looked at Fei Angsa, who had stood up. The appearance of this level 7 warrior before him inevitably overlapped with the image of the level 6 warrior who had kicked him until he vomited blood, and he said indifferently, "It's been a few years, you've made some progress. But not much!"

Fei Angsa looked at the calm-faced Matthews walking in, and combined with his recent actions, it was clear that the visitor meant harm. However, from the tone he had just used, it was obvious that the other party knew him, yet Fei Angsa racked his brain for everyone he had offended in recent years, and no one resembled the person before him.

"I don't know how I have offended you, sir. For the sake of the Maple Leaf Slave Group, I can compensate you!"

"Hehe, easy, easy!"

Matthews wouldn't let this guy off the hook. As a young man from a peaceful world, he hated these kinds of slave traders the most; they could have pursued many other livelihoods, yet they chose to traffic humans, so they all deserved to die.

"Tell me, about ten years ago, did you beat me here?"

After Matthews finished speaking, Fei Angsa realized the severity of the situation. If the other party said he had beaten him here, then the other party must have been a slave. It was definitely one of those slaves coming for revenge!

"Kill him."

After Fei Angsa gave the order, he didn't say another word and intended to jump over the wall to escape. Matthews ignored him, shaking his head at the slave traders who rushed over, and before long, these people had all gone to report to the Netherworld.

Matthews lay down on the chair Fei Angsa had just been occupying, and the Blood-Eyed Mane Lion brought over Fei Angsa, whose legs had already been broken by it, to stand before Matthews.

"Ten years ago, did you accept me from the Mad Python Mercenary Group?"

When Fei Angsa heard "Mad Python Mercenary Group," he remembered the incident. Back then, he had indeed accepted a down-and-out noble from a kid who was hanging around there. He had even turned around and made a profit from it.

"My lord, this isn't my fault. It was Terry who betrayed you!"

"Is that so? I will settle his account myself. Let me ask you, did you see my weapon, the Death Scythe, at that time?"

Fei Angsa said fearfully, "My lord, I can provide information. Can you not kill me!"

"Rest assured, if you provide useful information, I swear that neither I nor the Blood-Eyed Mane Lion will kill you!"

"Really?"

Seeing the look of desperate longing for life in his eyes, Matthews nodded and said, "I swear, if Fei Angsa provides valuable information, neither I nor the Blood-Eyed Mane Lion will kill him."

Seeing that Matthews had finished his oath, Fei Angsa immediately said excitedly, "At that time, Terry followed a level 7 warrior to sell you, and that level 7 warrior was holding the Death Scythe you mentioned."

"Is that so? Was Terry a sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked kid?"

"It was him, it was him!"

"Fine, I know now!"

Seeing that he had learned enough, Matthews stood up, preparing to take his next step. Fei Angsa saw Matthews and that terrifying lion moving to leave, and he was immediately filled with the joy of having survived a disaster. Although his legs were broken, he could spend some resources to find a Light Priest to heal them, and they could be reattached.

Just as he was filled with joy, a snake shadow flashed from Matthews' body. With a flick of its mouth, a Water Blade Technique was unleashed, accurately and flawlessly severing Fei Angsa's head. The joy still flickering in his eyes quickly turned into disbelief.

Asolun, who had killed Fei Angsa, continued to spit a blade at his head, and after slicing the corpse in two, said, "Boss, just cutting off his head is letting him off too easy!"

"Indeed, this kind of human trafficker should be hacked into ten thousand pieces!"

Matthews went into the cellar and swung his sword to cut through the door frames and iron chains that held the slaves.

"You are free!"

Most of the people ran away after being freed, but one twelve-year-old girl did not leave. She knelt before Matthews and said earnestly, "I am willing to offer my life to you, my lord. Please grant me the power for revenge."

Matthews sensed her for a moment and found that the girl had no fluctuations of magic or Battle Qi. Originally, he didn't want to get involved in such revenge-plot scenarios, but he remembered that when he was first captured and brought here, he also lacked any methods for cultivating Battle Qi or magic.

In the end, his heart softened; this place was the city where he had officially integrated into the human society of this world, and since they had met, it was fate.

"Very well, what is your name?"

"My lord, my name is Fiona."

"Alright, come with me!"

Seeing his boss take in the little girl, Asolun asked in confusion, "Boss, why take her in?"

"In other places, I might not care, but I once suffered here, so it's hard not to be moved by the sight."

After resolving the trouble here, Matthews took Fiona to the Mercenary Guild. When Matthews arrived again, the hot-tempered level 7 warrior introduced him to the mercenary group that had accepted his mission.

"They are the mercenary group that has accepted your mission."

Seeing Matthews nod, the leader of the mercenary group that had taken the mission greeted Matthews with a face full of smiles.

"My lord, hello. We are the Fire Rat Mercenary Group!"

"Hmm!"

Seeing Matthews turn to leave, the hot-tempered level 7 beauty warrior said, "My lord, you haven't paid the commission yet!"

"Isn't the commission paid after the mission is completed?"

"Uh, my lord, that is the commission for the mercenary group. You still owe our Mercenary Guild a commission as well!"

Matthews cursed the profiteer in his heart, then said, "I don't have any gold coins on me, tell me how much it is!"

"Ten percent of the commission!"

Matthews truly had no gold coins on him, so he took out the Magic Beast core from the level six Magic Beast he had killed earlier for meat. He tossed it directly to this curvaceous female warrior and said grandly, "Consider the rest a tip for you!"

The female warrior had spent years mingling among such rough men, so after receiving the tip, she blew a flying kiss to Matthews.

"Tch, if you've got the guts, give me a real one!"

Matthews had only been joking, but he didn't expect this beauty to actually kiss his cheek.
