The woman hugged her daughter in fear, as if she was afraid that Lin Xingchen would separate them.

"Mr. Charles!"

The slave trader, who had long seen through Lin Xingchen's thoughts, finally waited for this call, "Young Master, what can I do for you?"

"I want these eight people, and these few people who said that they pointed out the third room they had chosen one by one. How much is it?"

"Little sir, if you like to take it all, I won't charge you a penny." Charles' smile was as bright as it could be.

"Really? I have always believed in giving and getting. If you don't want to take my money, you must have other requests. Tell me!"

“Everyone says that the little adult is a genius. He spent eight years developing Maple Leaf Territory from a poor territory to its current state.

I never believed this sentence before, but today I really believe it.

My Lord, I also know the reason why you don't want us slave traders to enter Maple Leaf Territory. I hope you will believe that I have always wanted to get rid of my identity as a slave trader."

"It's just that there have been no other opportunities. Now I see the opportunity here with you, young sir, so I beg you to give me this chance." Having said that, the body of more than 200 pounds immediately knelt in front of Lin Xingchen.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Charles, everyone says you're a stupid slave trader. It seems I've been deceived by the rumors."

"Stand up and talk. It's not proper to kneel like this. Why do you want to get rid of the slave trade? I heard that your business is very profitable."

"Thank you, my lord. You may not know that in other places we don't even have the right to kneel and speak. Only here do you treat us as human beings."

"Charles, I don't believe you're giving up this lucrative business just for your dignity."

“My dear, I really want to get rid of this stinking identity, not for myself but for my children. A few years ago, my eldest son reached the age of marriage.

But my identity as a slave trader made those good families with status despise me. They thought that marrying their daughter to the son of a slave trader would bring shame to their family.

My son fell in love with a baron's daughter, and no matter how much I begged, the baron refused to give in.

My oldest son committed suicide by taking poison because of this incident." Charles burst into tears when he said this.

This time, Lin Xingchen really saw what it meant to cry like a 200-pound fat man, but the other person was talking about a sad story and he couldn't laugh so he had to hold it in.

Charles wiped away his tears and continued, "My youngest son is now fourteen years old. In two years, he will be of marriageable age. I don't want him to suffer the same fate as his brother, so I have been trying to get rid of this identity."

"So you want to use me to clean up your name and get out of trouble?"

"Yes, I dare not let your help in vain. I am willing to give up all my wealth just in exchange for a chance." Charles lay on the ground again.

"Charles, since you've inquired about my preferences, you naturally know that I hate being deceived the most. Do you know the consequences?"

"My Lord, you are overthinking. In this world, only commoners cheat commoners. No commoner dares to cheat a noble. It is a capital crime."

Lin Xingchen looked at Charles, who was like a small hill under his feet, and couldn't help rubbing his chin.

After some thought, Lin Xingchen finally had to face the reality. He gritted his teeth and said to Charles: "Get up, I can give you a chance."

Hearing this, Charles hugged Lin Xingchen's thighs and said, "Thank you very much, young master, for your kindness, and thank the gods for allowing you to appear by my side."

Charles was talking incoherently, and the servant next to him kicked him over and shouted, "You dirty stinky pig, let my master go quickly. You can just be grateful to my master, why thank the gods? Only my master is kind enough to give you a chance, but the gods don't."

Charles then realized what he had done and quickly apologized.

"Okay Charles, stop kneeling, get up. I don't like people kneeling here."

"By the way, are you a believer? What sect do you believe in?"

Charles broke out in a cold sweat at this time. He was so excited just now that he forgot the most important thing. The little adult in front of him particularly hated the believers of the Church of Light.

It is said that he will not be angry if the people who receive his kindness are not grateful to him, but if someone says thank you to the gods in front of him, this little adult will immediately get angry.

It was damnable that he said this in front of him now. Thinking of this, Charles stretched out his fat palm and slapped his mouth continuously while talking.

"Please forgive me, young sir. I am not a believer, let alone a believer of the Church of Light. How can those hypocritical believers compare to you, young sir?"

"Okay, stop messing around with this and clean yourself up." Lin Xingchen felt a little bored after being interrupted by Charles.

“I have no problem giving you a chance, but I will only give you the identity of a commoner. Don’t even think about becoming a noble. Even the lowest knight is impossible.

In my opinion, if you don’t have merit, there will be no reward. If you have enough merit one day, it won’t be a problem to give you a viscount.”

"As for your wealth, I don't think much of it, so keep it for yourself. Charles, I think you are a talent, and I will give you two choices."

Seeing Charles nodding in agreement, Lin Xingchen continued with his proposal.

“The first is that you are on your own. No matter whether you are doing business or anything else, as long as you do not violate the laws of Maple Leaf Territory, no one will hurt you.

The second thing is that you come to help me do things, as long as you have the ability then you can get the status and wealth you want most. "

"My lord, I choose the second one. I am willing to give my life to you as long as you can use me." Charles is not stupid. He can still answer such a simple multiple-choice question.

"Helping me do things is no different from working on your own. I have some rules that you must follow. You'd better think it over and don't rush to agree."

"There is no other master as kind as you in the entire continent. I will not regret it."

"Stop flattering me and settle the bill first. Since you plan to go ashore, quickly cut off these shady businesses and come to me."

They came in one carriage but went back with five. This time, he gritted his teeth and spent a full ten thousand gold coins to buy the people. Lin Xingchen knew that this price was very inflated. He spent ten thousand gold coins to gather those people, hoping that they could help him get through this most difficult time.

The convoy traveled quickly on the return journey and the distance was not far. They returned to their business in an hour or so. They notified their subordinates and made arrangements for the slaves to have a good wash.

Seeing that it was lunch time, I asked the kitchen to prepare more food. When I saw the people who were bought for the first time, they looked a little different.

They were like cargo when they were locked behind the wooden bars, but now they finally look like human beings.

Seeing Lin Xingchen walk into the restaurant, the group of people were a little overwhelmed. It was the man who took the lead and said that he could read who spoke first, "Hello, Master."

"Don't call me master. I bought you for my own good. I won't really treat you as slaves. You can think of it as me hiring you to do things for me."

"Since you are employed, I naturally have to give you some benefits. You can get some basic wages every month. This is your pocket money. You don't need any money to eat and live here. The biggest benefit I can give you is freedom."

"During the time you work for me, you must use your wisdom to complete the tasks I need you to do. When you have worked for me for a certain period of time, I will return your slave contracts to you and grant you the status of Maple Leaf Territory citizens."

"How can I trust your promise, or how do you intend for us to believe that you will do what you say?" a man who looked a little tired dared to ask the question.

"There's no guarantee. You'd better hope that I'm a kind person. Otherwise, you probably know what will happen to you."

"Let's eat! I still have a lot to tell you later," By the way, you two come and sit at my table. Lin Xingchen pointed at the mother and daughter and said.

The mother and daughter walked to Lin Xingchen's table tremblingly. Seeing them like this, Lin Xingchen didn't say much, and naturally the servants brought the tableware for them.

The hot steamed buns on the table were fragrant, and the little girl kept swallowing her saliva, perhaps because she was hungry.

"Eat. Even if you don't want to eat, you should still consider the child. She is still young and it's not good for her to starve. Besides, I'm not interested in such a little girl." Perhaps Lin Xingchen's kind smile infected these people, and they ate voraciously.

"How old are you little girl? You said you can read too. Have you been tested for your magical talent?"

"I'm eleven years old and I'm still a magic apprentice." The little girl's words frightened her mother. After all, a slave with magical talent and a slave without talent are two completely different things.

"You're eleven years old! You don't look like that. But since you're already a magic apprentice, I'll arrange for you to go to my magic school. You're young and can't do anything else, so just study hard."

"Don't worry! Your mother will be with you."

Lin Xingchen ate very quickly because no one helped him, so he arranged his schedule very tightly. After being delayed for a whole morning, Lin Xingchen planned to ask these people to help him catch up on his work.

After they finished eating, Lin Xingchen gathered these people together and distributed some papers to everyone, which contained some information about the talents for the positions he urgently needed.

"Look carefully at the paper in your hand. Written on it are some talents that I need right now. If you think you can do it, you can tell me and I will arrange for you to be the manager here."
