The world is a wasteland (a rebuilt world after an apocalyptic event caused by insurmountable forces like machinery, plague, and disaster). Many settings are original, with the background world bei...
"Oh my God! What's going on?" The slave owner, who was heavily pregnant, called to the guards behind him to bring down the overseers who were circling in the air.
He turned to look at Qin Yiyi.
"Beautiful lady, I think this must be a misunderstanding!"
He wiped away the sweat that had accumulated from running a few steps due to his obesity.
Qin Yiyi didn't reply. The overseer's behavior must be the result of the higher-ups turning a blind eye. Also, the overseer had to hand over half of everything he obtained, so the slave owner was also in a position of benefit from this matter and therefore did not come forward.
He only rushed over because the supervisor had an accident.
Why didn't he come out when they were arguing so fiercely?
Seeing that Qin Yiyi remained silent, the slave owner looked at the slaves behind Qin Yiyi.
“Prisoners of war and slaves are difficult to teach. All the belongings of prisoners of war must be handed over. The overseers sympathized with the prisoners of war and left them some things with them, but according to the rules, once you buy a slave, the slave cannot take these things with him and must hand them all over.”
"Is this your rule?"
Qin Yiyi shut him up with one sentence, and the slave owner realized that she was a tough nut to crack. He looked at this delicate and weak little girl, and she was so difficult to talk to!
A long howl came from the sky, and all the guards he brought were knocked down by the prototype of Sid.
The slave owner struggled to look up at the Argentinian giant eagle, whose wingspan was 7 meters and whose wingspan was a full 14 meters, and swallowed hard.
There's still one guard next to Qin Yiyi who hasn't made a move yet!
"Isn't the rule in Chaos Territory that whoever has the biggest fist gets to speak?" This isn't just the rule of Chaos Territory, but the rule of the wasteland world as well.
What do you think?
The slave owner saw that all his guards had been defeated and knew that he couldn't afford to offend Qin Yiyi.
“Miss Qin, there’s no need for us to let a mere three hundred prisoners of war and slaves ruin our harmony. The fact that the three hundred prisoners of war and slaves can’t take their own belongings won’t cause you any loss!”
"You said it yourself, it's their stuff, and you still won't let them take it. They're my slaves, and now that they've been wronged and bullied, it's only right that I stand up for them! Do I look like someone who would be bullied? Do I look like someone who would let their subordinates be bullied?"
Now that things had come to this point, the slave owner was unwilling to give up. This wasn't about the item itself, but about saving face. Qin Yiyi had clearly shown him no respect. He only dared to act so recklessly because he had the support of the higher-ups in Chaotic Territory. The highest overseer was a relative of that higher-up, and he had to protect him.
“Well, our slave market isn’t one to be trifled with either. Business is business, but you’ve broken the rules of business!” He waved his hand, and the guards around him came over and surrounded her.
He was holding an identity token.
"I have an earl's mansion above me!"
The slaves behind, unwilling to cause trouble, all threw away their belongings.
"We don't want the stuff anymore, slave owner, please don't make things difficult for us!" They all knew that the slave owner had powerful backers, and this time they definitely wouldn't get the stuff back.
They were already extremely grateful to their new master for standing up for them; how could they possibly let him get into trouble?
Unexpectedly, Qin Yiyi also took out the Earl's token from her clothes.
"Look carefully, I also have the support of an earl!" There are different levels of tokens for earls and above. So many tokens for dukes, marquises and earls have been issued, and people related to each rank have tokens. There are differences between the tokens.
The slave owner's token was clearly of the lowest grade, making the difference in status immediately apparent.
The slave owner had never met Qin Yiyi before, so he underestimated her. Seeing that she took out 1,500 gold coins to buy slaves at once, he immediately became more enthusiastic. He considered her a big customer, but he regarded her as a big customer who only had money and no background.
He was wrong, he made a huge mistake. He should have known when he saw the giant eagle that having such a guard was no ordinary thing.
The knight on the count's token held a sword and shield. Qin Yiyi's finger swept across it, and a light appeared on the token. Suddenly, the knight on the token transformed into a huge phantom and appeared in front of the slave owner. He was riding a fine horse and wearing a helmet. At his command, it seemed as if thousands of troops were rushing in.
This is a Battle Earl. Among the three ranks of nobility—Duke, Marquis, and Earl—the one whose token features a sword and shield is the Battle Earl. It is the highest rank and possesses a private army. A Battle Earl is three times higher in status than an ordinary Marquis, not to mention that the one he holds is just an ordinary Earl who flaunts his power.
The slave owner, deflated and under immense pressure from the knight, bowed and apologized to Qin Yiyi.
"I was blind to your greatness. Your slaves took all the things. I will send you thirty more skilled slaves."
Qin Yiyi gestured for the slave to pick up her belongings.
Sid abandoned all the guards and overseers who had been besieging him.
The tentacle monster was never shown throughout the entire event.
The slave owner respectfully saw Qin Yiyi out the door, only to be scolded by the overseer upon turning back.
"How could you let them go? You should know my sister is the Earl's concubine's son's favorite woman, I..."
*Slap!* The slave owner slapped him across the face.
"All you ever do is cause trouble. I didn't say anything when you used the Earl's name to steal women, beat slaves, and even assault laborers in the Chaotic Territory. But you should choose your targets carefully! This time you've really bitten off more than you can chew!"
The foreman was dissatisfied.
"What right do you have to hit me! Is there any territory around Chaos Territory larger than Earl Alder's?! I..."
*Snap* Another big pen holder.
"Not to mention that this person is a relative of the Count of Battle, his connections in the Viscount of Alder next to Chaos Territory are much stronger than yours. That fat little Alder is not very capable, but he has a beautiful sister who is the Emperor's favorite mistress, Barbara! Look at yourself, who do you think you are, yet you run rampant all day long!"
"Drag him away and remove the supervisor from his position!"
The slave owner nearly had a heart attack. When did such a powerful and young girl appear around Chaos Territory?
He needs to investigate this thoroughly.
As Qin Yiyi led more than three hundred slaves out, she felt a little uncomfortable looking at the slaves whose eyes were shining as they looked at her. All she did was get her things back.
Is this not what a great lord should do?
"Let me see the thirty people they sent!"
Thirty people were pulled out, and Qin Yiyi looked at them, some of whom already had gray hair.
She touched her chin.
"May I ask how old you are?"
