Chapter 73 The Shop Raid Gang
"Logically speaking, someone who can open a bookstore shouldn't be selling children."
After taking a bath, a group of children discussed this issue at the dinner table, trying to inspire Green through their analysis.
"But when I was taken away in a sack, my parents always looked distressed."
However, Green remained melancholy. The more he recalled his parents' behavior before he became a slave, the more he believed that his parents had encountered difficulties and chose to sell him.
After all, many of his companions were in the same situation, such as Dam from Rubber Tree Village. Unlike Dam, even if his parents had some reason for selling him, Green found it hard to forgive them and chose to stay.
"It might be a misunderstanding."
"No, the more I think about it, the more I feel that way."
"It's okay, I'll come to your house tonight and see. If that's really the case, I can help you beat them up."
Broly raised his little fist and said.
"That's right, that's right."
The others chimed in.
"Big brother, and everyone else..."
Green was touched, but didn't know what to say.
With Broly's statement and the support of his friends, things have improved.
Green felt that whatever the truth was, he had the courage to face it.
At worst, I can just throw down some money and buy myself.
From then on, he was the eldest brother's man in life and in death.
"Alright, let's eat first."
The whole roasted lamb is served, paired with bread made from refined wheat, and it tastes absolutely delicious.
"Finally, I can eat a meal without the taste of blood again."
The faces of a group of children were filled with the happiness of being satisfied by food.
"Next time, I must bring enough water in the car so that I can wash away the smell of blood after dealing with the delivery person."
Some people who initially harbored ill intentions towards the group of children overheard Broly and the others chatting as they ate.
Thinking of the rumors circulating in the past two days about the caravans and slave traders who brought children to kill without mercy, he felt a chill and silently retreated.
Even the wicked fear the ruthless, and clearly, thanks to some good Samaritans who delivered goods to their door, Broly's small group's reputation has been damaged once again.
. . . .
"Who are you, and what do you want?"
As dusk fell, Fran Cabrera was preparing to close when a group of people suddenly poured into the bookstore.
This sudden turn of events caused the man to quickly step back, run to the counter, and grab a broom.
"I think you know who we are. Mr. Travis is very unhappy about the bookstore incident, and he asked us to solve this problem for him."
As the burly man in the lead spoke, he pulled out a transfer contract.
"If Mr. Cabrera doesn't want himself and his wife to suffer, then he should just sign it. Mr. Trave said he'll pay you the price he gave you today. This is your last chance."
"You bastards, don't even think about it. I've said it before, unless you see my son."
"Ha, I knew it would be like this. In that case..."
"Wait, I'll sign."
"What, you're scared now?"
"Since you've brought my son back, I will keep my promise."
"What, your son?"
The leader was somewhat confused about the situation.
"Green!"
Then I heard the woman next to me shout excitedly toward the door.
"?!"
The leader was startled and turned around, only to see the boy who had been kidnapped by him three months ago but had been taken away by some bastard. He was now standing at the entrance of the bookstore with another group of children, looking at the situation inside the bookstore in a daze.
"You actually came back?"
He was somewhat surprised.
"It's you!"
Green will always remember the sound of his guy being carried away in a sack.
"That's right, we've brought your son back. Just sign the transfer agreement."
The order given to him by the adults was to force the owner of the bookstore to sign the bookstore transfer agreement.
If the Cabrera couple back down, then they shouldn't kill people and burn down the shop.
Because acquiring the bookstore that way would come at a much higher cost.
This is undoubtedly the best-case scenario.
The Cabrera couple's missing son miraculously returned on his own.
"What are you signing? And what do you mean I was brought back by you?"
Green asked the question; he sensed something was wrong.
"Go and tell that brat to shut up."
The burly man in charge gave instructions to his henchmen, who nodded and headed for the door.
How the shop owner's son got back is completely unimportant.
The important thing now is to prevent the other party from saying anything inappropriate and ruining our chance to complete the task that Terra has assigned to us.
If we can handle things well this time, it will definitely offset the bad impression caused by the previous failure and mistakes.
"Come on, Mr. Cabrera, you're here now..."
Before the burly leader could finish speaking, his underling, who had just been walking towards the door, flew past him.
With a loud bang, the younger brother crashed into the bookshelf, causing books to scatter and bury him.
"Ouch~"
The wails coming from below proved that the other party was still alive.
"Green, since it was these people who kidnapped you and sold you into slavery, let's beat them down first and then find out what happened."
Broly withdrew his catch and said something to the bespectacled boy next to him.
"You brat!"
The burly leader was furious. Beating his underling was tantamount to slapping him in the face, especially by a child—it was utterly humiliating…
"Clap clap clap~"
"That's how it is. Trae is preparing for the master to do business reselling land around the newly expanded slave market, which is appreciating in value."
In order to take over this bookstore, I kidnapped the bookstore owner's son three months ago, intending to use him as a scare tactic.
but……"
The burly leader, whose face was bruised and swollen, quickly confessed the reason for the kidnapping.
After learning that his parents hadn't sold him, Green was relieved.
But he was also very angry, so he walked up and kicked the kneeling bastard in the groin.
"Aww~"
The burly man groaned in pain, clutched his groin, and collapsed to the ground, becoming a pupa.
"Grimm~"
"Mom, Dad, I'm home."
Next, we see a family reunited, embracing each other.
Although we've seen this scene many times, Green was, after all, one of the children who came out of the forest together, and the last one to leave the group.
So, his friends still generously gave him a round of applause.
"So, what should we do with these guys?"
Akame pointed at the seven people lying on the ground and asked.
If this were outside the city, this question might not need to be asked.
"How about making it look like they died from a sudden illness?"
"Hokuto. Mei. Shenquan. Rad," he suggested.
"Or perhaps we could capture them and feed them to dangerous species outside the city?"
Esdeath also offered a solution.
