Chapter 11
11 The Talent Market: A Cruel Corner of the World
Erina Nakiri was not unconscious for too long, only more than ten minutes had passed before she woke up. After waking up, Erina Nakiri found that she was not as uncomfortable as she had imagined, as if her whole body had relaxed.
“You woke up”
Hayasaka Ai’s voice reached Erina Nakiri’s ears:”Hayasaka, don’t you feel a bit disgusted by that kind of scene?”
“It’s disgusting, but you have to get used to it. We are no longer in the peaceful world we used to be in. It was wrong for you to suggest letting those traitors go this time. If you were a more tyrannical person, you would have been killed like those traitors.”
Nakiri Erina was terrified and looked at Hayasaka Ai in disbelief.
“Don’t think I’m kidding you, this world is not our original world. Even in the ancient feudal era, it was the same in our world. These servants are servants of the Hanyu family. They betrayed Xianyi. If Xianyi lets these people leave alive, Xianyi will immediately become a laughing stock.”
Erina Nakiri was silent. She was a little naive, but not stupid. She just knew that this world was cruel after coming to it, but she didn’t change her mindset.
That is, she met Hanyu Genichi. Except for being scared at the beginning, she became no different from usual. Although she lost her temper, she did not realize that this world was no longer the one she used to be in.
Now that she saw so many lives being squeezed and bursting like watermelons in front of her, Erina Nakiri finally realized the cruelty of this world.
At this moment, facing Hayasaka Ai’s preaching, Nakiri Erina could only remain silent. She didn’t know what to say except silence.
“Pack up, and then we and the chord are going out. We killed so many minions today, so we need to replenish some”
Replenish?
Although she was confused, Erina Nakiri quickly tidied herself up and followed Hayasaka Ai to Hanyu Genichi’s study.
Seeing that Erina Nakiri and Hanyu Genichi did not mention what happened in the front hall, they said,”Okay, let’s go.”
Genichi Hanyu took Hayasaka Ai and Erina Nakiri onto the oxcart. On the oxcart, Erina Nakiri wanted to ask something but didn’t know what to ask.
“I told you before that there are fewer servants in the mansion, so this time we are going to replenish the servants.”
“Coming Soon”
There was a hint of a smile on Hanyu Genichi’s lips, but this hint of a smile gave Hayasaka Ai a bad feeling. Hayasaka Ai always had a bad feeling, as if something bad was about to happen.
Soon, Hayasaka Ai realized that her premonition was correct. Hanyu Genichi brought her and Nakiri Erina to the”Talent Market”’
Erina Nakiri and Ai Hayasaka looked at Genichi Hanyu after getting off the ox cart:”Is this the job market?”
On an open space, there were cages of various sizes, and inside these cages were humans, with only a few pieces of rags covering their bodies.
This is not a person, this is a livestock, a beast. People here are just beasts, objects that are trafficked and traded.
“These are just animals. Go through here and you will find the talent market behind.”
Hanyu Genichi’s answer made Hayasaka Ai and Nakiri Erina shudder. Looking at the men and women in the cages, Hayasaka Ai asked in a slightly trembling voice:”Why were these people trafficked?”
“Some of these people were refugees, some were criminals, and some were servants sold by nobles who had fallen on hard times. The reasons for being sold varied, but one thing was the same: each of these sold people was no longer a human being, but an animal. As long as you paid, no one would care what they did after you bought them back.”
Nakiri Erina and Hayasaka Ai felt a chill run down their spines. They realized that Hanyu Genichi was using facts to tell them the cruelty of this world.
Hanyu Genichi continued to move forward with Nakiri Erina and Hayasaka Ai without saying a word. Nakiri Erina and Hayasaka Ai looked at the people locked in the cages. Their eyes were dim and full of emptiness.
These people live just to survive, and their fate in the future can only be bought by some people who enjoy killing and then killed.
After walking about a thousand meters, Hanyu Genichi led the two of them to a building.
“Welcome to the job market, Mr. Hanyu!”
A 1.5 meter tall, obese middle-aged man walked up with a smile on his face. That flattering smile made Erina Nakiri feel a little nauseous, but Hayasaka Ai was not surprised by it.
“Some servants died at home, so I came here to pick a few. The requirements are as before, young, female, not ugly.”
“this”
The other party showed hesitation
“What? Is there any problem?”
“Mr. Hanyu, we don’t have anyone who meets your requirements at the moment, but we have a top-notch candidate here, if you need it, Mr. Hanyu”
The best?
Hanyu Genichi looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, hesitated for a moment and said,”Bring him out to me.”
“Yes, Mr. Hanyu, please wait a moment, I will bring it out right away”
Genichi Hanyu brought Hayasaka Ai and Nakiri Erina to the lounge, but he didn’t expect that after entering the lounge, Genichi Hanyu met someone he didn’t want to see
“Mr. Hanyu, I didn’t expect to meet you here. It’s fate.”
With a fake smile on his face, a young man in his 20s greeted Hanyu Genichi
“Clean out some disobedient servants. Since we don’t have enough manpower, we can only come here to buy a few servants. Has Lord Ying Si killed the servants in his house again?”
Played to death?
Nakiri Erina and Hayasaka Ai subconsciously tensed up their bodies, and then looked at the young man in front of them.
“Haha, I killed him by accident!”
The other party didn’t care that he had killed someone. Instead, he looked at Hanyu Genichi and said,”Speaking of which, Mr. Hanyu is interested in joining our Kujo sect? Mr. Kujo is looking forward to your joining.”
