Chapter 294: Ichiro’s New Little Brother
A few hours of the day had gone by since we took over the house of the Bao family.
The guards and servants had regained consciousness, so Melina and I wore our masks and went into the living room to feed and talk to them.
When giving them their food, we took off their bindings, explaining that if they tried anything funny, the whole house would burn down.
Once again, that was a lie, but sometimes we had to do stuff like this.
While the servants were eating, one of them spoke up, a young woman wearing the metallic slave necklace.
"P-please, let me check on Lady Bao. She is ill, and she can’t do much on her own!" the woman exclaimed.
"Why would you want to help the person that enslaved you?" I asked.
It was evident that the servants had some level of respect for Lady Bao, but I wanted to know their reasons.
The servant explained that while they were technically slaves, the Bao family never treated them as such.
Lady Bao always put on an act to protect her family, but she had been against the enslavement law from the very beginning.
"You understand that her husband is the Military Chief of this country, right?" I asked, testing the limits of their loyalty.
