After Charlie left, a middle-aged strong man walked out of the room next to Howard.
The strong man glanced at the gloomy Howard, and then said: "Master, let Charlie go just like this? I'm afraid he won't be able to find the leaker. In the end, he will definitely find a scapegoat and kill him before handing it over to you."
Howard pressed the corners of his eyes with his hands and said with a headache: "I can't kill him for the time being. The test Uncle Caton gave me this time is to earn 1,000 gold coins in more than a month before winter comes. As long as I complete If I do, Uncle Caton will agree to let me take care of the Chamber of Commerce in Winter City. The requirements are not high, so Uncle Caton does not allow me to bring too many family members. Otherwise, how would I need these useless slave traders. "
As he said that, Howard was a little angry, "I had already captured thirty elves, but I didn't expect that this guy Charlie messed up. Almost all the elves escaped, leaving only one dark elf who was about to die. If it hadn't been for that later. If I need to use him and take care of the slave family behind him, I have to skin him today."
As he spoke, Howard's originally somewhat handsome face became extremely ferocious, "No matter what, this test must not fail. After this sneak attack, the elves must be on guard and want to sneak attack on their gathering place again. Successfully The rate is too low. Even the gathering places of the orcs and dwarves have received the news and have stepped up their vigilance. The biggest hope now is the 'weak' orcs and 'sinner' dwarves. Kai, I can trust you the most now. You are the only one left, and you must help me find out the information about the 'weak' orcs and the 'sinner' dwarves."
The middle-aged man named Kai nodded and walked out of the room.
Howard was the only one left in the room with a gloomy expression. He revealed his gradually scarlet eyes and murmured.
"No one can stop me from completing this test, even at any cost."
...
In Caton Manor, Charlie did not leave the manor immediately.
Although there is a high probability that he will do what Kai said, find someone to act as a leaker, kill him and then hand it over to Howard.
But acting also requires a complete performance, at least when it comes to pretending, he has to do his best to pretend.
Therefore, he planned to take away the captured dark elf and torture him to see if he knew the leaker.
It would be best if the leaker could be found based on this. Even if the leaker could not be found, killing the dark elf and the unlucky guy together would be an explanation in front of Howard.
Walking into the underground prison of Caton Manor, it is divided into three floors. The first two floors contain people who have offended Howard.
The third floor held slaves.
Charlie walked directly towards the third floor. The further down he went, the darker and damper the surrounding area became, with an unspeakable smell, a smell mixed with mold, feces, and carrion.
Mold is natural, feces and carrion belong to slaves. This is the treatment and fate of most slaves.
With his feet on the muddy ground and relying on the light of the oil lamp, Charlie barely spotted a dark-skinned woman with white hair in the corner of a cell.
This is the dark elf. The wheat-colored skin and white hair are the hallmarks of the dark elf.
Charlie heard his subordinates mention that although this dark elf came to save other elves, he was abandoned at the critical moment because the leader of the rescued elves was a light elf.
Charlie didn't know how irreconcilable the contradiction between light and darkness was, but he actually abandoned the people of his own race who came to save him on the spot, which made Charlie sneer.
Those elves seem to be extremely holy, but in the end they are no different from humans, even him, a slave trader!
Thinking about it, Charlie took an oil lamp and looked into the prison, and finally saw the appearance of the dark elf clearly.
"Tsk tsk..."
Even though Charlie was a slave trader who had seen the misery of countless slaves, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw the appearance of the dark elf.
Ever since he was caught, this dark elf has been tortured day and night.
She was blind in her left eye and the tendon in her right hand was severed.
Whips, knife wounds, branding irons... all kinds of scars covered her body.
This kind of injury even exceeded the injury suffered by the wood elf.
"How on earth did you survive!"
Charlie couldn't help but admire the miracle of life. The dark elves were not a race with particularly strong vitality. Such injuries would have killed the opponent several times, but the opponent was not dead yet.
Charlie could still vaguely hear the faint breathing.
"No wonder Howard is willing to hand over the dark elf to me for interrogation."
Only then did Charlie understand that a dark elf who had been tortured like this couldn't survive, so Howard didn't care about this dark elf.
"But such a dark elf can't continue the torture?"
Charlie was angry for a while, but after thinking about it, he still let the men behind him take away the dark elf.
The men walked into the cell and grabbed the dark elf's collar and lifted him up. The dark elf was so shaken that he didn't even wake up from his coma.
"It's just an excuse anyway. It won't matter if I die."
As he spoke, Charlie was too lazy to care about the life and death of the dark elf, and let his men carry the dark elf out of the dungeon.
After leaving Caton Manor, Charlie led his men and dark elves to a small manor west of Sinful Town.
He recently rented this small manor to accommodate the rest of his slaves. He was supposed to live here, but after the last time the wood elf was rescued, he was always worried that one day the wood elf would die. The companion would come back to take revenge, so he stayed in the hotel.
With his men and dark elves, Charlie entered the manor, and then walked underground from a corner of the manor.
This manor also has a dungeon. In the sinful town, it is like a rule to have a dungeon in the manor. In fact, this is why Charlie rented this manor.
After bringing the dark elf into the dungeon, Charlie directly asked his men to lock the dark elf in the innermost cage.
Then Charlie looked at the surrounding cages.
Dozens of slaves are being held in these cages.
Most of them are human slaves, but there are also a few dwarves and orcs.
Just as Charlie said to Li Fan before, he has a group of high-quality slaves in his hands. Of course, these slaves are not meant to be sold in Sinful Town.
"Originally, I thought Howard's invitation was an opportunity, and I planned to give it a try, so I exchanged all my family property for these slaves. But now that I haven't finished Howard's business, I don't dare to leave without leaving this ghost. If these slaves cannot be sold, I will go bankrupt."
Charlie groaned from the dungeon.
In Charlie's plan, he should have helped Howard capture the elves at this time, and he had already taken the elves and these slaves with him to sell them in big cities like Winter City. Then he made a lot of money, and in one fell swoop he Establish a position within the family.
However, the wood elf was rescued, ruining everything he had planned. At this time, Charlie was forced into desperation.
The only sound in the dungeon was his muttering.
"No, I have to sell these slaves. No matter who it is, as long as they can buy my slaves, I will sell them to him..."
