Chapter 295: Chapter 281: Did an Elf Commit Suicide?
Sorren Comrce.
Cage was quite pleased as he looked at the dozen or so obedient elves he had obtained at a high cost.
These elves were indeed excellent, and although the lack of females was a bit regretful, their appearance and level of taming fully made up for these shortcomings.
Moreover, if maneuvered well, they might even sell better than female elves!
Thinking of this, Cage felt even more wonderful.
“Take them down and take good care of them.”
After watching the players for a while, he ordered the butler.
The butler hesitated for a mont and asked,
“Should we lock them in the slave room?”
“Of course, lock them up.”
Cage rolled his eyes,
“It’s always better to be cautious.”
The butler quickly agreed.
“However…”
Cage changed his tone,
“Lock them in the best slave room available, treat them better, and handle them with care. These are treasures!”
Upon hearing this, the butler accepted the order and retreated.
Having finished all this, Cage also felt wonderful.
He played a little longer with the Lion Heart Sword and then worked on so of the comrce’s accounts. Before he knew it, half a day had passed.
Ti… had reached late night.
By this ti, his subordinates, who were secretly watching Li Mu and Demacia, had returned.
“Did they do anything later? Where are they now?”
Looking at his returning subordinates, Cage asked while munching on a green apple.
The subordinate had a strange expression,
“Those people… drove the carriage into a courtyard in the civilian area.”
“A courtyard in the civilian area?”
Cage was slightly taken aback.
“That’s right. I asked around the residents, and it seems… they bought it.”
The subordinate replied.
Cage nodded knowingly and ordered,
“Continue to have people watch them.”
“Yes.”
…
The night passed quickly.
The next day, Cage got up early.
Last night, he slept beautifully through dreams of getting rich, acquiring the thod to enslave elves from Demacia, making a great contribution, and being summoned back to the headquarters to beco the head of comrce.
Upon awakening, Cage was radiant and in a good mood.
As soon as he arrived at the comrce, the old butler, who had been waiting for a long ti, greeted him with a strange expression,
“Master Cage! That… there’s soone else who wants to do business with us.”
“Soone else?”
Cage was slightly taken aback.
Monts later, Cage once again t new guests in the comrce hall.
They were a few young n in a Southern noble dress, with a playful and smiling deanor, resembling Li Mu from yesterday.
“Got good stuff to sell us?”
Looking at the young n before him, Cage’s expression slightly moved.
This scene felt sowhat familiar to him…
“That’s right!”
The young n smiled and then mysteriously said,
“Fully tad elf slaves, how about it?”
“Fully tad elf slaves?”
Upon hearing this, Cage was initially stunned, then his eyes narrowed slightly.
“Show the goods first.”
He said nonchalantly.
The others were delighted and quickly brought a male elf with outstanding features.
Afterward, they even perford various commands ceremoniously.
However, Cage’s expression remained very calm, so calm that it even seed playful.
Because… this scene was all too familiar.
“Well?”
The young n asked sowhat nervously.
Cage didn’t answer directly but instead asked with interest,
“What is your relation with Demacia?”
“Demacia?”
They were initially stunned, and then their faces changed,
“He was here?”
“Yes, he was here. We just did a deal yesterday, buying the elves.”
Cage said nonchalantly.
At this, he noticed with so surprise that the young n’s expressions suddenly fell.
“Damn! So that guy has already been here!”
“Wait… is this the Sorren Comrce?”
Cage: …
“Don’t you look at the signs when you walk?”
He pointed at the sign outside the comrce and asked, with a helpless expression.
However, as he spoke, he carefully examined them all over again, harboring a suspicion,
Were they together with the two from yesterday?
Where did they get so many tad elves?
Wait… could it be that yesterday’s transaction was a loss for ? Or was I deceived?
But before Cage could say anything more, he noticed that the young n imdiately beca disappointed,
“So it really is the Sorren Comrce!”
“Sigh… It’s been tapped out here, let’s go to another place.”
With that, they took the elf and turned to leave.
Cage: …
“Wait… I didn’t say I wouldn’t take your elves!”
He called after them.
However, they gave him a pitying look and shook their heads,
“Not dealing anymore.”
With that, they left directly.
“What is this?”
Cage was left bewildered.
He still wanted to ask about their relationship with Demacia and the origins of these elves, but they had already run off.
And also…
What was with that last pitying look?
Cage suddenly felt a bit irritated.
For a while, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that sothing was off.
Could it be… the transaction was really a loss?
But… he thought he should have profited.
Suddenly, Cage had a flash of inspiration,
“Wait…”
“How many of these tad elves are there… and how many ca to Fengye City with those two yesterday?”
Seeming to have realized sothing, Cage’s expression changed.
He suddenly stood up and ordered the butler,
“Hurry, accompany to check out the other comrces!”
The Sorren Comrce’s base was at the core of underground trading in Fengye City, hiding many well-known black market comrces.
And Cage naturally had dealings with them.
Soon, with the butler’s accompanint, Cage arrived at another black market comrce near the Sorren Comrce.
As soon as he got there, he saw several carriages speeding away, and the style of those carriages… he knew it well.
The president of that comrce stood at his door with a beaming face, clearly thinking he got a great deal as he watched them leave.
Cage’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly greeted him,
“Mr. Adolf! Good morning!”
The other saw Cage and said,
“Ah, it’s Mr. Cage, good morning!”
Cage didn’t hesitate and asked directly,
“Mr. Adolf, did you just do business with those people?”
He pointed to the gradually distant carriages.
Adolf grinned,
“Hehehe, big business! Cage, this auction, our Golden Apple Trading Company is definitely going to surpass your Sorren Comrce!”
Hearing this, Cage was moved,
“What did you trade?”
Adolf just smiled without answering.
Cage snorted and said,
“Tad elves?”
At these words, Adolf’s smile froze, his expression startled,
“How do you know?”
Cage didn’t explain but continued asking,
“Did you trade sothing with them? Trading untad elves for tad ones?”
“How do you know?”
Adolf was dumbfounded.
Cage: …
He stopped asking and turned away.
“Next comrce…”
He ordered the butler with a gloomy expression.
Soon, with the old butler’s accompanint, Cage arrived at another black market comrce.
The other had encountered much the sa thing.
“Hehehe! Those people really had no vision. I just used a fake divine artifact to exchange for a tad elf, haha, struck it big.”
“But… they were too picky, rummaging through my warehouse, and I barely set them a trap.”
The president of that comrce boasted smugly.
Cage: …
He went on to ask from one comrce to another, becoming more and more astonished, shocked to find that almost all the underground black markets had received similar deals…
So were done last night, others, this morning.
Of course, the traded items varied wildly, with elves sotis traded for elves, sotis for equipnt, and yes… in a minority of cases, for money.
In general… it seed that tad elves had suddenly beco worthless.
And in total, the number of tad elves they had traded away amounted to nearly fifty!
What troubled him even more was that among these tad elves, there were actually female elves!
By the Eternal Lord!
Where did all these tad elves co from?!
And… why must there be females?!
Cage’s expression was sowhat twisted.
His first thought was that this was terrible, as this ant that his plan to get rich off those elves was likely to go bankrupt…
With so many tad elves on the market, making huge profits would be impossible!
Not to ntion… other slave comrces even got females!
However, he barely remained calm.
At least… on alert, he had signed a Blood Covenant and left so contingencies.
But this calmness finally turned to panic when he learned of another news:
“What?”
“A tad elf bought by a Slave Trading Company… committed suicide?”
