Chapter 384: The Demonic Cores
At the same time, inside the Treasure Assembly Trading House's Taixuan City branch, Theft Saint Bai Wuying had finished drinking and was sprawled on a silk-sheeted bed taking a nap.
In the chair across the room, Bai Xiaotang sat with two enormous dark circles under her eyes, every acupoint on her body sealed so that she could not move a single muscle.
For the past several days, the old beggar had been working her like a pack animal, which was simply inhumane.
And to prevent her from running away, he was not even letting her sleep, sealing her acupoints directly. He was not a decent human being.
But Bai Xiaotang had no recourse. She could not beat him in a fight. As for trading insults, the old beggar's tongue was sharper than hers, and he had nearly talked her to tears.
At this moment, the Grand Manager of the Treasure Assembly Trading House appeared at the room's door, peeked inside, then called out a warm greeting and strode in.
Bai Xiaotang caught sight of him and her eyes lit up at once. She was about to open her mouth to ask a question, then remembered her speech acupoint had been sealed and she could not say a word.
The Grand Manager looked at Bai Xiaotang and seemed to read what she wanted to ask. He spoke first with a smile, "Miss Bai, the person you were looking for has been found."
At those words, Bai Xiaotang's eyes blazed with sudden brightness, and she nearly cried outright with happiness.
