"Sister Alice, do you think that fox might buy us?"
Looking at the gentle and refined little fox, Nana realized that he must have an extraordinary status and position to make Dim, that despicable slave trader, fawn over him.
Girls are naturally drawn to cute creatures, so if they were bought by that fox and taken home to bathe and sleep together, it wouldn't be unacceptable.
"Maybe...maybe."
Alice trembled slightly, and her hands, which were holding Nana, were damp with sweat.
Previously, the raging flames had reduced the incredibly powerful lizardmen in her eyes to ashes...
As an older woman, she naturally had a more mature mindset, but for Nana's sake, she suppressed her inner worries, after all, the future was not in her own hands.
"Yes, sir, I... I will abide by the law and report any suspicious persons immediately."
Tim declared confidently that once he finished this deal, he would never come to this street again—no, never come to Titan City again.
In short, he is currently on high alert towards Xiao Han, mixed with a hint of fear.
"Really? That's great! Thank you for your support of the urban management department. Remember to give us a thumbs up next time the three major urban management brigades are selected."
Xiao Han laughed, then patted Dim's other shoulder with his other hand, staining it with dust and making the latter stiffen for a moment.
"Don't pay in installments, give us a five-star rating all at once, otherwise we'll be in a very awkward situation."
"Yes, yes, sir." Dim was on the verge of tears. As a Silver Thief, he had no confidence at all. This little fox was using his power to bully people. He was too domineering.
He even had a fake smile on his face saying "I'm doing this for your own good," which made him feel utterly helpless.
At this moment, sensing a faint gaze, Xiao Han looked over and his eyes fell on the slave girl in the cell.
To his surprise, a young girl with short brown hair was looking at him with hopeful eyes.
The blonde girl holding the young girl turned her head away the instant their eyes met.
"Is this the slave you're selling?"
Xiao Han turned around and asked a question that made Dim tremble.
"How much was it again...?"
"three……"
"Three bronze eagles, right? That's a fair price. Okay, I'll take them all."
Xiao Han looked pleased and took out several gleaming silver shells from the money pouch at his waist: "Keep the change."
"It's thirty silver shells!"
Tim felt a pang of pain in his heart and foolishly spoke up, causing Xiao Han to regretfully take the money back.
This outsider is so principled, he's not easy to fool...
"What?! Thirty silver coins for a slave!"
The bear-man, who had suddenly appeared to make his presence known, seized the opportunity to gain the little fox's favor, grabbed Dim by the collar, and hurled his malice at him in the face.
Just as Dim was about to lose his temper and unleash his powerful silver-level combat strength to annihilate the bear-man, a flash of light appeared before his eyes, and a flaming spear materialized, its pure magical energy filling him with instinctive fear.
Adding to the ferocity was a group of menacing thugs surrounding them, armed with standard weapons and their eyes gleaming with bloodlust.
If he dares to break the rules here, he probably won't even know how he died.
"Jerry, what are you doing? Let him go!"
Xiao Han tapped the bear-man's butt with the tip of his spear, and the bear-man reluctantly released Dim.
Xiao Han stepped forward with a smile: "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not disciplining my subordinates properly, which caused you to be frightened."
"No, it's okay, may I leave now?"
Dim stood up, took the carriage, and spoke directly.
He feared that if he stayed, not only would he lose his belongings, but he would also perish.
"Wait a minute, I'll offer five hundred silver coins to buy these slaves."
Seeing that Dim was considering backing out, Xiao Han spoke up.
He did have the idea of killing Dim and freeing the slaves, but outsiders had special rights and their identity information was recorded at the registry.
Unless someone at the registration office covers for him, even a small-time tyrant like him, a third-tier city management officer, will suffer losses.
Therefore, Xiao Han chose the second option: carrying the previous pressure on Dim, he lowered the price to buy slaves.
Upon hearing this, not only was Dim shocked, but even his former subordinates looked utterly dumbfounded.
This is the first time I've seen the Little Fox spend a lot of money to buy slaves. Before, he would either liberate slave trafficking strongholds or buy slaves from the streets under his jurisdiction for a small sum of money.
Unlike the group's shock, Jay, who understood the mechanics of Titan City, nodded.
Titan City's upper echelons are comprised of three major powers. If Xiao Han crosses the line, he will face joint suppression from these three powers.
"Your Highness, this is a huge loss!"
George sidled up to the little fox, placed his hand across his neck, and whispered, "Since His Highness likes it, let's just take matters into our own hands and kill him..."
"That's right, daring to make Lord Little Fox pay, he's got a death wish!" The bear-man exuded an aura of ruthless cunning. "Your Highness, with us here, we'll definitely skin him alive! We'll skin him alive and extract his oil!"
"Squeak!" White Fang sang with fervor, supporting his brothers' suggestion to "find an opportunity to strangle Dim and then destroy the evidence."
"Do you... think I can't hear you?"
Dim's lips twitched. The Silver Rank granted him heightened senses. He had stumbled into a den of thieves, and with this little fox guarding him, he had no chance of escape.
"No need to trouble you. Right now, I just want to be a good person."
Xiao Han declined his subordinates' enthusiastic suggestions and walked over to Dim.
"With the Norse gods as witnesses, I will offer five hundred silver coins, not a single one less, you can rest assured of that."
Upon hearing this, Dim glanced at Xiao Han in surprise, his blood-red eyes flashing with a clear light, realizing that the other party was actually serious.
