Ch 17: Meeting the Thugs

"So that you can feed these children, right? Therefore, just accept this money." Ryan said as he placed the money on the table.

"Uhm..." Iva stared at the bag of money on the table for a moment before finally looking at Ryan.

"Let's go." Ryan said as he immediately walked towards the exit, followed by Lyana and Ellina.

"Wait! Thank you so much, Sir, Miss! Please convey my deepest gratitude to the Blackstar Family!" Iva exclaimed as she hurried over to Ryan and Lyana.

"Yes." Ryan then continued on his way.

"See you again, Miss Iva!" Lyana waved her hand before quickly following Ryan.

After walking quite a distance, Ryan finally stopped in an alley.

"Young Master Ryan..." Ellina spoke first.

"Yes?" Ryan turned to face Ellina upon hearing her.

"Who is the woman next to you?" Ellina asked cautiously.

"Eh? Woman? I don't see anyone?" Lyana, hearing this, became confused and looked around Ryan.

Then, surprisingly, a beautiful woman appeared, and seeing her made Lyana very shocked.

"Ah!" Lyana jumped back and stared at the woman.

"Hello! My name is Charlotte Corday! Nice to meet you both!" Charlotte said it with a warm smile.

"Let me introduce, myself. This is Charlotte Corday; Charlotte is the slave I bought." Ryan said, briefly introducing Charlotte.

"Slave?" Lyana looked at Ryan with a blank expression.

"Yes, a slave. I bought Charlotte and used enslavement magic, so there's no need to put a slave collar on Charlotte." Ryan explained.

"Is that so? So... Brother, did you go out earlier to buy a slave?" Lyana asked with a puzzled expression.

"Yes." Ryan replied with a small nod.

"Hmm..." Lyana looked at Charlotte with a serious expression.

"Um? Nice to meet you, miss! My name is Charlotte! Are you the younger sister of the Master?" Charlotte said it with a cheerful smile.

"Ah... Yes, I am the younger sister of Brother Ryan." Lyana said, nodding her head.

"But, Young Master Ryan, the Mistress surely won't allow you to bring a slave of unknown origin." Ellina said it with a serious face.

"I will explain to Mother; now let's go home." Ryan said as he immediately walked away from them.

Charlotte quickly followed Ryan, then Lyana followed after her, and finally, Ellina also went home with them.

"Uhm... Brother? Is this really the way home?" Lyana asked, confused, as they passed through small alleys.

"Yes, by going this way, we can get home faster." Ryan replied as he continued walking.

Not long after, they were about to pass an intersection when they heard someone shouting loudly.

"I told you, didn't I? Don't go this way! Why are you going this way? If you want to pass, give me your money!"

"I don't have any money! And this is a public road!"

"You brat! How dare you! Feel my punch!"

Ryan's group then saw three adult men beating up a boy, while a girl stood in fear, protected by the boy who was being beaten.

"Hey..." Ryan then spoke, causing the man who was hitting the boy to stop.

"Who are you, kid! Do you want me to hit you too?" the man asked with an annoyed expression.

"Haaahh... I'll give you ten seconds to leave... If not... Then... Don't blame me later." Ryan said it in a cold tone.

"This kid is looking for death, it seems!" The man, feeling annoyed, walked towards Ryan, but suddenly his gaze shifted to the three people behind Ryan.

Two beautiful women and a cute little girl. Seeing the three of them, the man smiled widely, and his eyes began to fill with lust.
