Chapter 168
There are hierarchies everywhere in the world.
Even within a nation, there are class differences. Within the same class, wealth disparity is evident. The slums are no exception.
Even in a slum, there would be people flaunting their wealth, draped in expensive gemstone jewelry. And then, there are the untouchables who can fight until their bodies are broken yet never escape the "garbage heap."
"Is this your home?"
I spoke while looking at a hill formed by piled-up industrial waste and trash. Beside it stood a house pieced together from scrap metal and iron sheets.
"Krk."
Even though the Crawler couldn’t speak human language, it seemed to understand me.
Creak.
The Crawler led me inside. The door, patched with rusted iron sheets, groaned as it opened. I found it a bit strange.
’A creature with this level of combat power lives in a place like this?’
This was the Bellato Federation, a place where all sorts of alien species coexisted. Unlike the Empire, it did not strip aliens of their rights.
