Guinaifen: Elio, you're practically inhuman!! Why would you show something like this?! Wuwuwu~
Sushang: Little Guizi, don't cry... How about I cry with you?
Silver Wolf: Well, well, @Elio, showing something like this? Could it be the resentment from your recent overtime work acting up?
Sunday: Is this the envoy's childhood experience? If reality is suffering for you...
Jiang Lin: You better shut your mouth. (Physically silenced)
Robin: Huh? Brother, you're awake?! That's great...
March 7th: I can't take it anymore, I'm going to cry too T﹏T, but speaking of which, is this Aventurine's childhood?
Dan Heng: @March 7th, you're probably the only one who didn't guess.
Sushang: Oh, so it's the childhood of that company executive?
Dan Heng: ...
Ratio: ...
A certain passerby: Huh? The one sitting on that chair next to him is... Professor Ratio?! Why does he look so defeated? Are Pathfinders so weak?
Chaos Physician: Why do I feel like this child is heading towards Nihility? @Aventurine, where are you? Come, I'll treat you.
Aventurine: ...
Sparkle: So it seems little Penacony has gathered all the Evigins, Molten Knights, and... Lady Sparkle~
Sampo: No, @Sparkle, sister, please calm down, I'm genuinely afraid they'll beat you to death.
Company Employee A: To reach such a position with such a background, Director Aventurine is amazing.
Scott: How dare you discuss the leader's affairs? Retract that and let me say it.
Company Employee B: 666
Just then, the screen, which had gone dark, lit up again.
Kakavasha was seen in a cage, his clothes tattered, a prominent product code around his neck. He was pale and covered in wounds.
Just then, a cold voice came.
"Welcome back, Number 35. Do you like your amulet?"
At this moment, Kakavasha's low voice sounded.
"Can a product code also serve as an amulet?"
"Shut up, I didn't allow you to speak, you hyena of Tzvetograda."
"..."
Kakavasha fell silent, unwilling, but the cold male voice continued.
"Those people in black suits didn't say much, so I don't know what methods you used to survive that massacre back then."
"But I think you're very lucky, so I bought you. From now on, you and your luck are my assets, understand?"
"Your first command is simple: besides you, I also bought another 30... um... 34 slaves."
"Go play a game with them — survive for two days to prove your worth."
"...Are you crazy?!"
Kakavasha asked, somewhat incredulously.
"Hehehe haha... Just testing the goods."
The man fell into maniacal laughter, his attitude towards Kakavasha filled with contempt, as if looking at an ant that could be crushed at any moment.
"Aren't you afraid you're wasting your money?"
"I have plenty of money, little blondie. The pan-galactic slave market is not short of self-important brats like you."
"But you have a good appearance, so many customers are betting on you, this skinny kid. Go on, don't disappoint your master."
"...How much did you spend?"
"What?"
"My price, how much did you spend to buy me?"
"Hoh, you want to know that? Fine. 60 Ta'amba, no more, no less."
Hearing this answer, Kakavasha took a deep breath and said with a resolute tone.
"I want to gamble with you. Half of 60, 30 coins... As long as I come back alive, you have to give them to me. Do you dare to gamble?"
"Hahahaha, you want to gamble with me? Fine, you've got guts!"
"But I'm sorry, it's impossible. Slave, don't forget your status, you don't even have the right to sit at the table."
"You are just a chip, a life thrown out by others. Either help your master bring back more chips, or... never come back."
"All, or nothing — don't embarrass me, lucky one."
March 7th: I can't take it anymore, it's so despairing, I can't watch anymore.
Sushang: That civilization doesn't look like a primitive one, right? Why does it still have slavery?
Qingque: Because there's profit to be made.
Boot Hill: @Aventurine, my dear, if I didn't know, it would be fine, but now that I know, I really can't stand it. Tell me where that place is?
Aventurine: Don't worry, I've already dealt with all of them.
Argenti: What an ugly and dark act this is. Surely even He cannot tolerate it.
Stelle: Speaking of which, didn't the video say the Company intervened at the beginning?
Dan Heng: Even the Path of Trailblaze has its dark side, and the Company's words cannot be fully trusted.
Jing Yuan: Every family has its own difficulties, and behind every success are hardships that others cannot see.
Old Audi: Oh ho ho ho, this Mr. Aventurine is truly a living legend. I look forward to negotiating with you in our cooperation with the Company.
Aventurine: Heh heh, Mr. Audi, you're too kind. I'm honored.
Scott: Director Aventurine is amazing.
Ji Mi: To be honest, I don't feel jealous at all that Director Aventurine is in this position.
Scott: Who do you think you are? How dare you comment on Director Aventurine?!
Ji Mi: ? P40
Scott: It was my fault for not recognizing your importance. I'll wish you a Happy New Year in advance.
A certain Company Employee: A man's knees are worth gold, indeed, that's how it's used...
At this moment, in Sunday's hospital room, all the doctors had left, leaving only Jiang Lin and Robin.
"Brother, is there anywhere else you feel uncomfortable?"
Robin looked worried. In her heart, no matter what Sunday had done before, whether right or wrong, he was her only family. Nothing was more important than her brother's safety.
Sunday looked at Robin gently, forcing a smile.
"I'm fine, Robin, I just had a nightmare."
Robin sighed in relief, then sat by the bed, gently holding Sunday's hand, and asked very softly.
"What could scare Brother so much?"
"I dreamed someone was going to split you into seven pieces. Luckily, it was just a dream."
