“You are such a deep person.”
Shireen tried her best to evaluate Robert. Her words were filled with emotions.
“Robert, no matter what secrets you have, if you do not want to tell me, I won’t ask. So, please don’t hate us. Ellie and I really like you.”
“I know better than anyone that you’re definitely not a loser. So, please don’t feel pressured when you’re with us, okay? Don’t have any thoughts of leaving us, okay?”
Other people might not know, but when Shireen really loves someone, she would not give up on them easily. As long as she met someone she truly liked, whether if they were poor or rich, she would love them wholeheartedly.
Feeling the sincerity in Shireen’s words, Robert was extremely touched. What more could he ask for? He immediately held Shireen’s hand and looked into her eyes.
“Don’t worry, I will never leave you and Ellie. I will be with you for the rest of my life. Even if you chase me away, beat me with a stick, whip me or tie me up, I will not leave. My heart is with you.”
Robert pointed at his chest and swore to Shireen as if he was taking a marriage vow.
“Alright, I believe you.”
Their eyes met. Shireen felt Robert’s sincerity. She was extremely happy and touched, but at the same time, she felt that there was something wrong with Robert’s words.
‘Am I thinking too much?’
“Shireen, Ellie, where are we going next?”
Robert looked at the huge town. This was his first time here and he was not very familiar with the place. It seemed like Shireen and Ellie were more familiar with this place than he was.
“Robert, let’s go to Max District next.”
“Big Brother, I know that place. It’ll be very fun. You must follow us there.”
After listening to Shireen and Ellie, Robert became a little curious. What kind of place could make Shireen and Ellie so excited?
“Is there anything worth looking forward to in the Max District?”
Robert couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Max District is actually a street with a large number of cultists. It is an extremely dangerous area where countless fugitives gather. But at the same time, the world’s largest black market is there. It looks ordinary during the day, but at night, it is a paradise for traders. You can find all sorts of goods from all over the world, including some banned drugs, firearms, and even a country’s assassination list. But the most common goods are the various levels of weapons and equipment, as well as some lost magic books. There are even subhuman slaves and illegal immigrants.”
Robert’s eyes lit up after hearing that. He was very interested in the subhumans. He had only ever heard of them from his parents and read about them from school books.
As the name implied, subhumans were actually humans who had undergone a series of changes in their appearance. Although they looked very different from humans, their culture and thinking were all similar to humans. Therefore, the subhumans were classified as a new human race instead of a completely new species.
However, most of the subhumans had a difficult life because they were born with very different appearances. They were discriminated against ever since they were young. Many despised them and thousands of subhumans were abused and slaughtered every year.
These incidents were even reported in the news. In some lawless and remote areas, the subhumans were not even treated as human beings. They were treated worse than dogs.
In recent years, there’s been a trend of keeping subhumans in captivity among the upper-class circles.
Some female subhumans with extraordinary looks were especially popular.
Because of this, the subhuman slave market had flourished, and the subhumans began to dwindle down in numbers.
Robert did not want to meddle in the subhuman business. He just wanted to see what they look like out of pure curiosity.
“Big brother, why do I feel that you are excited too?”
Ellie tilted her small head and looked at Robert.
“We are going to such a fun place to play. Of course I’m excited.”
Robert patted Ellie’s head.
“Is that so? Big brother, let me tell you, there will be shows there. Ellie loves that the most.”
Ellie’s eyes were filled with excitement, and she jumped up and down.
“Show? What kind of show?” Robert asked.
“It’s called the Boom Boom Boom show. It’s very good. Big brother, after you’ve watched it, you will definitely like it.” Ellie said as she raised her hands over her head and made a big circle gesture.
Robert subconsciously repeated what Ellie did.
He raised his hands above his head and made a big circle.
However, Robert still did not understand what Ellie was talking about.
“Shireen, do you know what show Ellie’s talking about? Is it a form of entertainment?”
Ellie was still too young to explain properly, so Robert turned to Shireen and asked her instead.
“Hehe, you’ll know when the time comes.” Shireen smiled slyly.
Hearing that Shireen was also looking forward to this show, Robert’s curiosity peaked.
“Robert, Max District is still far away. Let’s go using my car.”
After saying that, Shireen walked towards a warehouse area, which was under the jurisdiction of the church. There was a large warehouse area that was funded by the royal family.
“Did you and Ellie get here by car?”
“Of course. It is faster to travel by car.”
The warehouse was thousands of acres. It was equipped with the best security system in the world, so many prominent families would choose to temporarily store their valuables here.
They passed the security check area.
“Dear customer, your warehouse number is 405. Please input the voice command.”
‘As expected of the royal family, the warehouse is really advanced.’
Robert thought to himself.
