Chapter 135: Change of Destiny

"Waste! All waste!" Blackmore kicked Foxton angrily, "Get out! I'm annoyed when I see you!"

"Yes... yes!" Foxton quickly crawled out and closed the door. As soon as he stood up, Foxton spat at the door. "You didn't explain it clearly at the time, and now you blame me? Damn it, today is different from the past. My daughter is with Richard, and now you are not the only one who can go!

Foxton quickly returned to his home and changed into clean clothes. His wife came over and picked up the dirty clothes to wash them. Foxton quickly stopped her: "Wait, wait a minute!"

Foxton quickly took out the check from his clothes and showed it to his wife.

His wife took it and asked, "What is this?"

"This is called a check. Do you see the one thousand written on it? You can exchange it for one thousand gold coins at a bank in a big city!"

His wife looked at him in disbelief, "That's it? Just a piece of scrap paper?"

"Hey, you ignorant guy, this is not a scrap paper. I have been to Lordaeron with Blackmore before, and he used this check to exchange money in the bank."

"Really? This piece of paper can be exchanged for money? Then if we write a few more pieces, won't we get rich?"

Foxton glared at his wife and said, "There are marks on it. Look here, there are magic marks on it. If it's fake, the wizards there will recognize it at a glance. Then they will arrest you."

Foxton made a catching gesture and scared his wife. His wife asked cautiously, "Then...then how did you get this...check?"

Foxton put the check away and said, "Our daughter was bought by an adult, and this is the money he paid."

"What!" His wife grabbed his clothes and shouted, "What did you say? You sold our daughter? You bastard! I only have that one child left!"

"Let go, you let go!" Foxton pushed his wife away and shouted unhappily, "What do you know! That gentleman asked Blackmore for Sal, and Blackmore didn't dare to refuse. Do you know that? There was a very powerful woman with that gentleman. I almost died there! How dare I refuse!"

"But! But, that's my only child! How am I going to live if you sell him!"

Foxton's wife covered her face and cried loudly. Foxton shouted, "Stop crying! Stop crying!"

Seeing his wife looking at him, Foxton continued, "I've made up my mind. We won't stay in Dunholde. I've asked around. That gentleman lives on Cozan. We'll go to Cozan to join our daughter. Even if that gentleman doesn't want us, we can live well with this thousand gold coins and don't have to suffer from Blackmore's anger anymore!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true! Pack up your things quickly and leave tonight! To avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Okay! Okay!"

Foxton smiled as he watched his wife packing her things. His idea was not so simple. Blackmore had been nurturing Sal all these years. In order to climb up the ladder, he asked his wife to breastfeed Sal and sent his daughter to Blackmore, waiting for her to grow up and become his lover. Now he had no chips left, and he could not see any hope around him. The Richard he met today was surrounded by women, so he was obviously not a good guy. Who knows, one day his daughter might lie in his bed, and by that time...

"Everything is packed up."

Foxton took a look and said, "Okay, let's go!"

Before leaving, Foxton also looked at Blackmore's room. It was still light inside. Foxton spat and left quietly with his wife. Blackmore

was the only one in Blackmore's room now, and his wife was driven away by her. The room was in a mess, all the things he had smashed and pushed over were in disarray. To him, Sal was not just an orc child, but a tool to subvert the Alliance! But tools were more important than life, and life was more important. Tools could be found again... But could such a good tool really be found again?

"Damn it, these capitalists are just like the Alliance! They are no good!"

"A-choo!" Richard, who was camping in the wild, sneezed. "Thinking, cursing, and complaining, who is thinking about me."

Vereesa laughed, "You are just being sentimental. Hey, you are so domineering today."

"Why? Do you have an opinion?"

"No, it's just that this is not like you."

Richard grinned and pointed at Sal in the distance, "Do you think I can take him down without using some extraordinary means?"

"That's true." Vereesa looked at Richard with eyes wide open, "This is the first time I see you spend so much money. It only costs one thousand gold coins to buy a little maid. Is it worth it?"

"First time?" Richard looked at Vereesa with his eyes slanted. "Which of the gifts I bought for you three sisters during the New Year cost less than this?"

Vereesa glared at him. "How can it be the same? When you buy things at the Golden Rose, doesn't the money you spend eventually go into your pocket? Don't change the subject."

Richard laughed awkwardly and continued, "It depends on how much money you spend. To me, Sal is worth the price."

Vereesa came over curiously. "Then what is his value? He's just a child?"

"Want to know?"

"Yeah!" Vereesa nodded cutely with her eyes wide open.

"Then come here." Vereesa put her ear close to Richard, and Richard blew a breath and said, "I won't tell you."

"You!" Vereesa blushed and kicked Richard's stool to the ground, "Pretending to be mysterious! I won't pay attention to you!"

"Hahaha!" Richard laughed and watched Vereesa walk to Onyxia and sit down. Onyxia was now eating the food that Fina made with local ingredients. As soon as Richard and his party left Dunholde, Onyxia hung on Fina. It was not until then that Richard realized that Onyxia, who had eaten in small bites at Blackmore's house before, was not pretending to be a lady, but because the food cooked in Blackmore's house was too bad, but because she was hungry, she had to eat in small bites.

After setting up camp, Fina began to prepare the food, and little Thrall followed them and bustled around. He especially liked to be around Onyxia. As soon as Onyxia said something, little Thrall would do it. It must be because Onyxia left too deep an impression on him during the day. Thrall, who was afraid of the future, was eager to please this big sister who looked very powerful. After all, the days when he was often beaten in his childhood left too deep an impression on him. Richard looked at Taresha who was serving the dishes. He didn't know what Fina said to her, but there was no resistance on her face.

"Does this count as saving a life?"

Richard was lying on the ground counting the stars, unaware that a creature in the distance had already set its sights on him.
