Chapter 44: An unexpected guest
Night fell with its pitch-black darkness, like a heavy curtain drawn over the world, drowning everything in a sea of deep blackness. The details of the scene gradually faded, and the shadows morphed into mysterious entities.
Under a glowing crystal of essence, three people sat quietly at the dining table, sharing dinner.
They were Captain Ray Kang, his partner Sui Chang Li, and his thirteen-year-old son, Kang Yun.
Contrary to what one might expect, Ray Kang hadn't told his partner Sui Chang Li about Kogan's promotion to the first rank.
Maybe it was because they hadn't had sex in a long time.
After they finished their meal, they left the kitchen, leaving the cleaning to a lowly servant.
This servant hadn't lost her partner—she had surrendered to her desires and slept with him.
As a result, both were enslaved.
When partners fall into sin or commit a forbidden act and are cursed, they are either marked and enslaved—or executed.
In most cases, they're enslaved to be drained and used for as long as possible.
They might be separated and forced to work apart, or left together. It doesn't matter.
