#442 - Chapter 442 News about the Fruit of Life

Huo Chun's room.

Suke hid above the beams, watching quietly.

Below.

Huo Chun sat behind his desk, his obese body filling the chair entirely.

Beside him, several maids, young and beautiful, massaged his shoulders and back.

Two more pretty maids peeled fruit and fed it to him.

What an enjoyment!

Suke's gaze fell upon the person opposite Huo Chun.

Sitting there was a man with a goatee.

The goatee man looked at Huo Chun, his lips moving slightly, "Lord Baron, about the payment for that batch of goods, when will you..."

Huo Chun waved his hand impatiently, "I told you, once I sell the goods, I'll give you the money immediately."

The goatee man pondered for a moment, then said softly, "Lord, I spent my entire fortune on that batch of goods, if you don't pay..."

Smack!

Huo Chun's fat hand slammed on the table, startling all the girls nearby, who cowered on the ground.

From outside the room, a dozen soldiers rushed in.

Suke's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at these soldiers.

The Principality of Lornoth had a clear decree forbidding those below the rank of Earl from raising private soldiers.

This Huo Chun... not only had the money to build such a large castle, but he could also afford to keep private soldiers, and even hire mages.

The cost of training a Tier 3 mage far exceeded the cost of keeping these private soldiers.

Seeing these guards, the goatee man's body trembled in fear, "L...Lord...I..."

Huo Chun waved his hand, staring at the goatee man, "I'll tell you one more time, I will give you the money, but not now."

"The principality is cracking down on this very strictly right now, and I haven't been able to get rid of them yet."

"Moreover, the heat was on a while ago, so I moved the goods.

Now, the goods aren't with me, and even the ownership of this batch of goods is starting to slip out of my control."

After speaking, Huo Chun angrily punched the table, "That damned old fox!"

"Daring to swallow my goods!!!"

The solid wood table instantly turned into powder.

He possessed the strength of a Tier 2 warrior, so smashing a table was a small matter.

Hearing Huo Chun's words, the goatee man's face instantly turned pale.

"Then my money..."

Huo Chun waved his hand impatiently.

The guards immediately dragged the goatee man out.

At this moment, a neatly dressed mage with a ruddy complexion entered from outside.

Seeing the mage, the anger on Huo Chun's face subsided, and he spoke with a hint of flattery, "Lord Jeffrey, are you satisfied with the woman who served you?"

Jeffrey nodded, glancing at the maids who were trembling with fear.

"She's good, but not as good as the ones beside you."

The expression on Huo Chun's face froze.

The ones he found for Jeffrey were all famous ladies from the city's pleasure quarters.

The ones beside him were recently offered by his lackeys, all still young and untouched.

However...

Although Huo Chun felt a pang of heartache, he revealed a fawning smile on his face, "Lord Jeffrey, whichever one of the ones beside me you fancy, just tell me..."

Jeffrey's eyes revealed a lecherous glint, "I want them all."

Huo Chun's body trembled, and he cursed inwardly.

This bastard!!!

However, this person was a favorite of that old fox, and if he didn't serve him well, he would lose that batch of goods.

Forcing down his anger, Huo Chun agreed.

"Lord Jeffrey, what about the Earl's side?"

Jeffrey revealed a smile, "Easy, easy."

Huo Chun breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as that batch of goods returned to his hands, once they were all sold, he wouldn't have to be controlled by that old fox anymore.

At that time, what kind of women wouldn't he be able to have.

Jeffrey left with a smile, Huo Chun waved his hand, and impatiently signaled the guards to send all the maids beside him over.

These girls seemed to know their fate, and didn't resist, following along numbly.

Suke glanced over and followed them as well.

...

Jeffrey's room.

Jeffrey looked at the row of girls standing before him, some with still-innocent faces, his eyes filled with lewdness.

"Undress."

Hearing his order, the girls trembled slightly, and obediently began to unbutton their clothes.

Jeffrey watched with a lustful gaze, his eyes shining.

Suke stood above the beams, pondering whether he should take action.

After observing for a moment, seeing that a girl was about to reveal her undergarments, and Jeffrey's pig hand was about to press down.

Suke moved.

It was one thing if he couldn't have such good cabbage, but watching it be taken by a pig was too much to bear.

A prepared pebble was shot out directly.

A bloody hole instantly appeared in Jeffrey's brow.

His face was still stuck in a lecherous expression as he fell straight backward.

All the girls were dumbfounded, and after a few seconds of stagnation, they began to scream.

Suke had anticipated this, and directly used magic to seal off the room in advance.

After thinking about it, Suke raised his hand, magic surged, wrapping all the girls up and sending them directly to a relatively safe place outside the castle.

Throughout the entire process, Suke didn't expose himself at all.

After doing all this, Suke found Gou Da and Er Gou, and hid to the side.

Before long, the entire castle was in chaos.

There were noisy footsteps everywhere.

Clearly, Jeffrey's death had been discovered.

Riding Gou Da, and taking Er Gou, Suke headed towards Dawa Town.

...

Back at the apothecary shop.

Carla looked up, "Killed someone?"

Suke sniffed strangely, discovering there was no bloody smell, "Dog nose?"

Gou Da and Er Gou exchanged glances.

Carla waved her hand, "My senses are quite unique, I can detect the aura of killing."

Suke nodded, "How much do you know about Huo Chun?"

Huo Chun?

Carla looked at Suke strangely, "You're a magical beast, why do you like to participate in these human power struggles?"

Suke shook his head, and explained everything that had happened in Baron Huo Chun's manor.

Carla looked at Suke, and nodded approvingly, "Saving those girls was the right thing to do, they were innocent."

After speaking, Carla continued, "Huo Chun has done a lot of evil over the years, he's quite famous in the area."

"I heard that Dani from the tailor shop next door was harassed by him because of her beauty, but because Dani's brother Grey is a Tier 2 warrior, he didn't succeed."

Suke glanced at Carla, "I can't tell, you're quite interested in these gossips."

Carla rolled her eyes, "Isn't that because Dani she..."

She suddenly stopped speaking, and directly changed the topic, "The power behind Huo Chun isn't simple, it's not as simple as just a Baron's identity."

"Otherwise, with the crimes he's committed, he would have been beheaded and paraded through the streets by those kindhearted adventurers long ago."

Speaking to this point, Carla revealed a smile, "Regarding the batch of goods he mentioned, perhaps I know a little news."

Suke immediately poured his attention onto Carla.

Carla opened her mouth, "As far as I know, that batch of goods seems to involve the smuggling of orc slaves and a treasure called the Fruit of Life."

Fruit of Life?!

Suke's eyes instantly lit up.

Fruit of Life?!

Isn't this the material needed to upgrade my achievement ＜Dying of Old Age!＞?!

"Is the news accurate?"

Carla asked in return, "Are you referring to the smuggling of orcs? Or the Fruit of Life?"

"Both."

"Eighty or ninety percent accurate."
