46: Beat him up for me
Around them, many people cast surprised glances.
However, the middle-aged man ignored it all.
It was just him hitting his own face; compared to thirty million, it was nothing at all.
Besides, he could earn so much money just by selling a slave, making this clearly a profitable transaction.
"Here's thirty million, give me the slave contract!"
Shen Xi took out the money and said.
"Naturally."
The middle-aged man didn't dally and handed the slave contract to Shen Xi.
To the side, everyone witnessed the entire transaction and started to stir with anticipation.
It seemed this young man was what they called a 'Holy Mother'.
He was willing to spend a large amount of money to buy a slave simply because he couldn't bear to see a slave killed.
In that case, couldn't they take advantage of the situation?
Rich and a Holy Mother—wasn't this a perfect sucker?
Thinking this, some people couldn't sit still.
Another Young Master, dressed luxuriously, used the opportunity to scold his slave: "Look at him, he's worth thirty million, while you, besides wasting my food, are completely useless! I'll kill you!"
Saying this, the Young Master made a move as if to kill his slave.
He was waiting, waiting for Shen Xi to be unable to sit still, and be forced to buy his slave back at a high price.
This way, he could make a hefty profit.
However, what the Young Master didn't expect was that Shen Xi didn't even glance at him, only looking at the defeated slave and asking: "What is your name?"
The defeated slave replied weakly: "Chu He!"
"Very good, from now on you are my person. My command is your decree. Next, I will issue my first command." Shen Xi said, pointing at the middle-aged man: "Crippple him for me!"
Hiss!
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
No one expected that the first thing Shen Xi would do after buying Chu He was to have him attack his former master.
"You, what are you saying!"
The middle-aged man's expression changed dramatically, and his face instantly darkened.
Then, he showed a look of disdain: "Hmph! To think you want this trash to lay a hand on me, you must have been kicked in the head by a donkey! Not to mention the many experts around me, even if it were just me, give him ten times the guts, and he still…"
"Chu He obeys!"
What the middle-aged man didn't expect was that before he could even finish his sentence, Chu He, enduring his injuries, charged at him like a mad wolf.
"Protect me!"
The middle-aged man immediately roared.
His subordinates moved into action, about to stop Chu He.
At this moment, Shen Xi moved.
The middle-aged man's subordinates didn't even touch the corner of Chu He's clothes before they were knocked to the ground one by one by Shen Xi's punches.
And deprived of his subordinates' protection, the middle-aged man had no power to resist whatsoever and was directly pinned to the ground and brutally beaten by Chu He.
"Ouch!"
"You dog, how dare you lay a hand on me!"
"Ow, stop hitting me!"
The middle-aged man cursed and begged, but it had no effect.
In a short while, he was beaten into a swollen mess by Chu He.
To the side, after dealing with the middle-aged man's subordinates, Shen Xi had been watching coldly.
It wasn't until the middle-aged man was knocked unconscious that he finally spoke: "That's enough."
Chu He immediately stopped and returned to Shen Xi's side, his attitude respectful and deferential.
"You performed well."
Shen Xi smiled and casually tore up the slave contract.
"From now on, you are free. If you are willing to work for me, I will pay you a corresponding reward."
Seeing this scene, the entire place erupted in an uproar.
Everyone looked at Shen Xi in disbelief.
Had this kid gone mad?
First, he spent thirty million to buy Chu He, and then turned around and tore up the slave contract?
One must know that once a slave is no longer bound by a slave contract, he becomes a free man.
If Chu He's life originally belonged to Shen Xi, at this moment, his life became his own.
This thirty million was spent too unjustly!
"Chu He is willing!"
Chu He immediately knelt on one knee and said.
To outsiders, Shen Xi was just wasting money and had a problem in his head.
But for Chu He, at this moment, Shen Xi had completely conquered him.
The other party saved his life, allowed him to take revenge, gave him freedom, and offered him work—all these actions made him truly devoted to Shen Xi.
If Chu He's obedience to the middle-aged man was due to the slave contract, then his submission to Shen Xi was from the bottom of his heart.
"Mm! Follow me from now on!"
Shen Xi nodded and said nothing more.
Then, his gaze fell on the Young Master who had just threatened to kill his slave: "Brother, how about you sell your slave to me?"
The harmless smile, in the Young Master's eyes, seemed insidious and vicious.
The Young Master's body subconsciously trembled, and he repeatedly shook his head: "I, I don't sell slaves, I was just joking earlier."
Who would dare to sell a slave to Shen Xi?
One moment the transaction was completed, the next moment the other party would let the slave chase and beat him.
The Young Master also realized that if he treated Shen Xi as a naive sucker with too much money, then he himself was the fool.
This was a truly ruthless character.
"Is there anyone else who wants to sell a slave?"
Shen Xi asked again, his gaze sweeping around.
He had already seen through the thoughts of these people.
They thought he was a Holy Mother, didn't they?
Shen Xi had undergone Transmigration, and he was indeed relatively kind to people and disliked the slave system.
But to treat him as a Holy Mother just because of this, then these people were the idiots.
Not long ago, Shen Xi had just killed Wang Xiangui and his group; he never showed mercy to his enemies.
Moreover, there was a reason for him buying Chu He.
Firstly, he couldn't stand the middle-aged man's arbitrary abuse of Chu He.
Secondly, a hint of tenacity in Chu He's eyes made him realize that the other party was not ordinary.
"Hahaha, this young brother is joking. We are not like that guy; we don't casually beat or scold our slaves."
"I never sell slaves; everyone in Zhu Feng City knows that."
"That was just a small misunderstanding earlier; let's all not take it to heart."
"Today is a good day for the auction, having fun is the most important thing."
Many people started to smooth things over.
No one knew Shen Xi's background, but someone who dared to act so brazenly was definitely not an ordinary person, so naturally, no one wanted to offend him.
"If that's the case, then all the better. Are White Robe and Purple Robe here?"
Shen Xi changed the subject, directly targeting Kong Wen's Two People subordinates.
He knew that Ye Zirou had sent Xiao Mei and deliberately emphasized the martial arts hall on the fourth floor; White Robe and Purple Robe must be here.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Two People men simultaneously said: "What do you want with us?"
The Two People men were dressed in White Robe and Purple Robe, respectively.
