Heir to the Kingdom of 1.4 billion people

Chapter 50: Billion Protection Promotion (Two in One)

Mineral Town.

At the entrance of the brothel.

The thin girl was dragged step by step by the thugs. Even though she struggled with all her might until her fingers bled and her clothes were torn, she could not resist several thugs with fat faces.

"Please. I will work hard to pay off the debt my family owes..." The girl's voice was hoarse, and her pretty face was full of tears.

She knew that once she stepped through that door, what awaited her was a life of hell and helplessness, and she would eventually be thrown out like rags, just as she had witnessed when she passed by here with her father to sell fruit in Mineral Town.

"Work? How long can you work? Can you afford it?"

"I'm telling you, if you resist again, once you enter the Red Rose gate, I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death in the training room!"

Perhaps he was getting a little impatient, the leading thug grabbed the girl's long hair with almost breaking force and shouted viciously.

His name is Luca, and he is the gold medal thug and doorman of the Red Rose brothel.

If he hadn't been concerned about the quality of the goods, he would have taught this stubborn girl a lesson long ago.

But it's not too late. There are many props in the training room that will not damage the quality of the goods but can teach them a lesson.

Thinking of this, a hint of brutality and excitement flashed in Luca's eyes.

"What are you looking at? Have you finished your farm work? Have you sold all the goods?"

"Get out of here!"

Luka yelled to the crowd of onlookers.

Xia Mingyu, who had just arrived here, frowned slightly upon hearing this, while Berg beside him was trembling with anger.

court death? !
Who the hell dares to disrespect my lord!
The young man pushed through the crowd and strode up to Luca. Before he could react, he slapped him hard in the face.

Snapped!
Although Luca is much stronger than Berg, the power of a superhuman being cannot be compared by size.

The heavy slap made Luca see stars and his fat body almost fainted.

"Who are you? Why did you hit me?!"

The sturdy man who was fierce and ferocious just now now covered his face and spoke blankly like a little girl.

Obviously, the slap just now made him lose consciousness.

"Well, you're disrespectful to my master and you dare to talk back!"

Berg became even angrier and raised his hand to slap him again.

Snapped!
This time, one of Luca's teeth was knocked out and rolled to the ground.

Seeing this, the other thugs behind him hurried over to help, but were frightened by Berg's eagle-like fierce eyes and dared not move.

After all, the young man in front of him was incredibly strong, with an iron sword on his waist, a longbow and a quiver full of iron arrows on his back, and he didn't even have any professional protection on his head. It was very likely that he was an extraordinary and ruthless person.

It's okay to let them follow the boss to bully the girl, but attacking this ruthless guy would be a bit of a loss.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me."

After realizing that he would be beaten to death like this, Luca quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with his leaky mouth.

".You should plead for mercy with my lord."

Seeing this, Berg finally put down his hand, but he was still angry.

Only then did Luca notice the black-haired young man who was watching everything quietly behind the boy. His eyes flickered, and he quickly judged the other person's identity with his years of experience in judging people's behavior.

He has fair and delicate skin, rare black hair and eyes, and wears clothes made of silk. He also has a black hat made of extraordinary materials and is the work of a master. The most important thing is that he doesn't even have any identity protection on his head!

Luca had certainly heard of items that could conceal one's identity, but most of them were very expensive, and it was obvious that only the nobles would need them.

Now the identities of the two men were clear—young noblemen who were out for a trip with their servants.

"Gods above, my lord, please forgive me, a lowly dog."

Luca crawled on the ground on all fours and wanted to go over and kiss the tip of Xia Mingyu's shoe, but was stopped by Berg with a cold look.

What is worthy of kissing the toe of my lord's shoe?
At least a loyal hound like him deserves it!

"Sir, all your purchases at Red Rose today are free. This is my apology to you. Is that okay with you?"

Luca stood up awkwardly, rubbing his hands and speaking with a flattering look on his face.

"But I want her."

Xia Mingyu pointed at the crying girl on the ground and said lightly.

"Sir, she's not tamed yet. Okay! Please come in. I'll prepare a room of the highest standard for you!"

Luca was about to refuse, but he saw Berg beside him raised his hand again, which scared him so much that he immediately agreed.

"By the way, give me ten more girls."

Just as he was about to step into the brothel, Xia Mingyu seemed to have thought of something. He pulled up a red rose from the flower bed at the door and said in a deep voice.

"Sir, it's hard to guarantee good quality if there are only ten of them!" Luca said seriously.

Berg silently lowered his hand.

Red Rose Brothel, third floor.

The ceiling is soaring and decorated with exquisite crystal chandeliers, which emit dazzling light as they sway gently.

The spacious bed was covered with layers of soft silk mattresses, and gorgeous red roses were hung on the walls. Aromatherapy incense burners were lit on the bedside tables on both sides, emitting a charming fragrance.

This was indeed the most luxurious room in the brothel.

"Why were you sold here?"

Xia Mingyu sat on the bed and asked the girl who was kneeling on the ground with a look of fear on her face.

"The village was ripped off by a traveling merchant. My family couldn't pay the taxes, so we were forced to borrow money from Mr. Hawke. The money tripled in a week."

The girl answered timidly, her fingers still dripping with blood, but she didn't dare to breathe.

She knew that the black-haired young man in front of her, who could make those vicious thugs retreat, must be of a much nobler status than she imagined. Perhaps even the knights who came to collect taxes would have to show respect to him.

"Mills is really causing a lot of harm."

Xia Mingyu felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, why not send her to a slave city? Wouldn't it be better to send her to a brothel?
However, considering Mills's decent appearance, he should be doing the same thing in the slave capital.
While he was thinking about it, ten girls with scantily clad clothes, exposing a lot of white skin, were sent into the room.

Their ages varied, but the oldest was only twenty-four or twenty-five, and the youngest looked less than fifteen or sixteen years old, still a girl.

"Sir, these are the highest quality prostitutes in our entire Red Rose. They are all free of charge. Please enjoy them."

Luca smiled flatteringly, then tactfully walked out of the room.

"master!"

Ten prostitutes knelt down in front of Xia Mingyu, revealing their snow-white backs.

"Master, I will guard the door for you."

Berg tactfully prepared to leave the room.

"Stop, do you really think I'm here to play?" Xia Mingyu said with a helpless smile.

"You, tell them again how you got here." He said to the girl in linen clothes.

"I owe"

"Are any of you here for the same reason as her?"

Xia Mingyu asked the ten prostitutes in front of him.

However, to his surprise, the ten prostitutes looked at each other and kept silent.

After a long while, the youngest girl hesitated and said:

"Master, Lord Luca won't allow us to reveal our origins to our guests."

"How dare you! How dare you call a brothel doorman "Sir" in front of my master!"

Berg glared at them ferociously. His eagle-like sharp eyes and the iron sword at his waist that was about to be unsheathed instantly frightened the prostitutes so much that they hugged each other in fear.

"Okay, okay." Xia Mingyu stopped helplessly.

For some reason, he always felt that since Berg was promoted to a hunter, his temper seemed to have become much worse. He would hit people if he disagreed with them, and would glare at them if they didn't hit him.

"I mean no harm. I'll speak to Luca on your behalf. Now, can you tell me your origins?"

Xia Mingyu stood up from the bed, walked to the kneeling prostitutes, bent down and asked softly.

"I was sold here just like that sister."

As if sensing his kindness, the youngest girl spoke again.

“I was captured.”

"One night, I was walking on the road at night"

"My father sold me"

“I saw a job posting for a cleanup job, I don’t know.”

Led by the girl, the other prostitutes also spoke up, except for the oldest prostitute who remained silent.

"Only part of it is debt, and the majority is robbery and fraud?"

Xia Mingyu pondered for a moment, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.

He vaguely realized that this magnificent building was actually a den of evil that controlled these prostitutes.

"You must have suffered a lot here!"

Xia Mingyu half sighed, half asked.

Upon hearing this, the prostitutes' expressions instantly turned into horror. Even the bravest girl just closed her mouth and dared not make a sound.

"Don't be afraid. Tell me about your suffering. No matter what, I will take you away from here today." He whispered.

"Believe me, God of the Sun and Justice, I swear by my honor that I have the ability and the will to do this."

Xia Mingyu knew that words were not enough, so he took out a coat of arms from his pocket and showed it to everyone. It was the coat of arms that Karen gave him when he left Black Wolf Castle.

The coat of arms features a ferocious black wolf head, representing the authority of the master who rules this land - Hughes.

The room was silent. Just when Xia Mingyu thought he was going to fail, the women burst into tears and spoke one after another:

"Sir, when we first came in, we were locked up in the acclimation room and tortured for a whole week."

"If they fail to complete their tasks, they will be severely beaten."

"They'll literally skin us!"

"Mom and Dad were beaten to death by them"

The women looked grief-stricken, their voices filled with intermittent sobs, so miserable and heartbreaking.

"Sir, if you really want to understand our suffering, go and take a look in the bathroom on the fourth floor."

Even the oldest prostitute who had remained silent at the beginning said this with tears in her eyes.

"Sister, how could you let this gentleman go to such a filthy place?"

"It will pollute the eyes of this lord!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other prostitutes began to dissuade him.

"Where is it?" Xia Mingyu frowned slightly and asked in an unquestionable tone.

"There was one of our sisters there who had tried to escape through a window and had fallen and become paralyzed."

"Lord Luca said he wanted to keep her alive as a warning that anyone who disobeyed would suffer the same fate as her."

The prostitutes looked hesitant.

"Sir, please, you can leave without me, but please kill her after you've seen her in the bathroom. I will pray to the gods for your safety."

The oldest prostitute fell to her knees, sobbing.

"You lead the way, Berg, let's go to the third floor."

Xia Mingyu was silent for a moment, then took the prostitute and Berg out of the room.

"Sir, you came out so quickly. Are you not satisfied? Do you need me to change a batch for you?"

Seeing him come out, Luca, who was waiting in the corridor, immediately followed him and asked flatteringly.

boom!
What was waiting for him was a punch from Berg, which knocked him directly into the wall. The burly man with a face full of flesh fainted.

Bathroom on the fourth floor.

Xia Mingyu went in and came out soon.

"Ugh, ugh!"

Xia Mingyu lay on the ground and retched repeatedly. His throat was burning with pain, his stomach was twitching, and his nose and tears were almost coming out.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Berg looked extremely flustered, but the old prostitute next to him looked as if she had expected it.

"Lord!"

Berg wanted to help him up, but Xia Mingyu held his shoulders tightly.

"Berg, I haven't given you a single formal order since I became your lord."

Xia Mingyu's face had turned much paler, but his eyes were so cold that Berg was frightened. He had never seen his master so angry, like an enraged lion.

"I, Xia Mingyu, give you this order as your lord."

"Kill everyone in this brothel except the prostitutes. Kill them all, all, all!"

Xia Mingyu almost uttered the last few words through gritted teeth.

He hated killing. Even when facing a scum like Mills, he didn't want to kill him directly, but this time he really couldn't help it.

"Yes, my lord, I will obey your orders. As your hound, I will slaughter people here until blood flows like a river."

Berg looked solemn. After kneeling on one knee, he took off the longbow behind him, put on an iron arrow, and went downstairs with murderous intent.

third floor.

"Damn it! This is really going too far! Go get Master Hawke right now! I'm going to tear them into pieces!"

Luca said angrily after being awakened by the thugs.

He just felt that this noble young master was really going too far. He had just said something disrespectful, but he had already compensated him with ten prostitutes. Wasn't that enough?

After all, he is Master Hawke's most trusted subordinate, and is usually a well-known figure in Mineral Town. How could he lose face being bullied like this today?

"Bah! If you weren't lucky enough to be reborn as a noble, how could you dare to be so arrogant!"

After his younger brother rushed downstairs to report the news, Luca, still furious, spat out a mouthful of blood foam and said indignantly.

Swish!
At this moment, an arrow flew over and pierced his forehead steadily.

Luca, who was still cursing, suddenly fell headfirst to the ground without a sound.

Fourth floor.

After Xia Mingyu made sufficient mental preparation, he entered the bathroom again under the surprised gaze of the old prostitute.

"Do you need me to kill you?"

".good."

"Flower Field Magic."

"Sun, fire, impact magic pattern."

In the shocked eyes of the prostitute, the once extremely smelly bathroom was flooded with countless blooming red roses and turned into a sea of ​​flowers. Then a black-haired young man with a cold expression walked out of the burning sea of ​​flowers.

The long string of words hidden under the black hat gradually turned into emerald green.

　Dear readers, I want to talk to you about this. After this book was ranked in the top ten of the new books list, there have been various negative reviews and criticisms. Yesterday, an account that had posted several bad reviews before suddenly started to post negative reviews and curses in the middle of the night. After I couldn't stand it anymore and banned them, four more accounts suddenly showed up and started to criticize together. After a careful check, I found out that the five accounts that were chatting with each other and stirring up trouble in the previous chapter were all the same person! But it was the author's account that really disgusted me. I couldn't sleep the whole night. I really couldn't understand why he did this, and I didn't offend him. As for why he would show up at the first time every time I updated and use several accounts to lead the pace, I asked a senior who wrote books. He said that a newcomer like me who was the first to enter the new book list at the same time and had to revise the article all night because of readers' comments is simply the softest persimmon. He suggested that I set the fan value to speak, but I think the readers' comments in a book are also part of the book, and they are the soul of the book, so I never cared about it before. I ask everyone to read the content of the book more, and I will listen to and read your suggestions. In the past, I stayed up all night to revise the article because of this. Please believe me, and I also ask my colleagues not to lead me by the rhythm anymore. It's really not worth it for me, a loser.
