After walking out of the villa door, Li Shanren took a few steps outside, stood in the sun, and turned his head slightly.

"Okay, you can go back."

When the three slave girls who were ordered to see him off heard this, they bowed lightly to Li Shanren and then closed the door heavily.

Li Shanren stood at the door, looked at the carefully manicured lawn in the yard, and took a deep breath.

The afternoon sun shone down, and it was obviously the warm sun that was approaching winter, but he felt that his chest was burning, and the hot blood was flowing, as if it was about to break through the blood vessels at any time.

He turned back again and looked at the door. The sunlight was blocked, the windows were tightly wrapped in blue curtains, and darkness ruled the other side of the door, as if it could never shine in.

"Then I will make that beam of light." He suddenly whispered to himself.

Then, turned around and left.

"I've had enough of these people, and I've had enough of this world... Only by breaking the rules can -

Reshape the rules! "

The words fell, and when they hit the ground, they seemed heavy enough to stir up dust.

......

Back at the Huosen Hotel, Li Shanren sat on the armchair in the room, holding his eyebrows with his fingers and thinking.

So far, the search for Tifa and others has made breakthrough progress.

But at the same time, unexpected difficulties were encountered.

He learned that the children were in the hands of two big slave traders.

In order to raise the ransom, Tifa took the risk and went to the mysterious ruins that appeared in the west of Olin City. Unless Li Shanren also left for that ruins, there was no way to contact her for the time being.

It's also unclear what exactly happened to Tifa to end up in this predicament.

And now the same situation is facing Li Shanren.

But, to be honest, he couldn't afford a thousand gold ruso.

But, can you give me the money?

Is it worth it?

If he really gives it, will he get the desired result?

not necessarily.

Although Charles smiled and told him that as long as he paid a thousand gold ruso, he could redeem five children.

But what if Charles increases prices temporarily?

When Li Shanren finally prepared the money and went to redeem the person, what if the other party increased the price again?

Li Shanren had to think about this possibility.

After all, pricing power rests with Charles from beginning to end.

He can offer Tifa a price of more than 500 gold ruso, and he can offer Li Shanren a price of 1,000 gold ruso. If not, the next time they meet, the price will be raised to 3,000, 5,000, or even 1,000 gold ruso. Ten thousand!

This is not an unfounded concern.

Since coming to this world, almost none of the enemies Li Shanren has encountered are easy to deal with.

Whether it was the bald old man who took his first kill at the beginning, or later the old housekeeper Kate, Viscount Arman, Desire and 3127, or even now Charles...

Li Shanren had to use his most ruthless thoughts to speculate on the thoughts of these people. Only by understanding his enemies first could he formulate counterattack methods.

"Hey, why haven't I met a villain who is stupid and easy to bully?" After thinking for a long time, Li Shanren suddenly sighed.

As night fell, there was a heavy knock on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." Li Shanren said.

After a while, Ezio and Arahan walked in.

"Do you have any orders?" Ezio made a standard chest-stroking gesture.

"I need you to help me investigate a person." Li Shanren sat up straight and said seriously, "It's a slave trader named 'Charles'. He should be very famous in Olin City."

"Charles..." Ezio's eyes darkened slightly, as if he had thought of something, "What do you want to know about him?"

"You just need to answer one question for me." Li Shanren said in a deep tone, "For Charles, how much is one thousand gold ruso?"

"Only this?" Ezio asked in confusion.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you. It's best to give me an answer tomorrow." Li Shanren nodded.

"We will come to see you at noon tomorrow, please excuse yourself first."

Ezio and Arahan bowed slightly and left the room.

Li Shanren watched the two people leave, silently lowering his eyes, and one thought after another appeared in his mind.

......

On the street, Ezio and Arahan walked along the road side by side, both walking in an inconspicuous position on the edge of the road.

"Slave trader Charles..."

Ezio repeated the name, with a hint of memory in his eyes.

"Could it be the Charles we know?" Alahan asked muffledly.

"In the entire city of Olin, there is only one big slave merchant named 'Charles'." Ezio said in a deep voice, a sharp look suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Sorry, Master."

Arahan said with guilt, knowing that his words reminded Ezio of some bad things.

Ezio took a deep breath, and then exhaled slightly, "Except for the third sister, all the servants in the house are in his hands, right?"

"Yes, young master, to be precise, Miss Yuna was sold to another slave trader from him before." Arahan showed a look of hatred.

"He was my father's best friend, and he was also the person who attacked the family the most after my father died. If it hadn't been for something happening at home, I wouldn't have known that he was actually a slave trader." Ezio gritted his teeth slightly.

"In fact, the master has always thought that Charles was a businessman engaged in serious business. He disguised himself very well and he was very shrewd." Alahan added, with a little sadness in his tone, "I heard that he fell into his hands. The servants there were all branded as the 'Auditore Family' and were sold at high prices."

"Okay, stop talking." Ezio clenched his fists slightly, "The Kingdom's Judiciary, the nobles who made trouble, and these slave traders who are as disgusting as flies, I will not let them go."

Abraham silently changed the subject, "Master, based on your understanding of Charles, you should be able to answer that question directly in front of Mr. Leathern just now. Why wait until tomorrow?"

"Because we have to do things that fit who we are..."

Ezio calmed down and explained patiently.

"Right now, we are just two junior extraordinary beings hanging out at the bottom of Olin City, so we should only know a certain amount about Charles, but not much, because we don't have money to buy slaves, and we have only heard of this name at most. Therefore. Facing Lord Lisern's question, we 'need' a certain amount of time to investigate before we can answer him. In his eyes, this is a reasonable behavior."

"It's Uncle Charles who taught me to make a reasonable disguise for a specific identity, haha..."

"By the way, don't call me Master anymore. I should have emphasized this to you many times, Arahan!"

......

In Huosen Hotel, Wei Luo, who had been running around for a day, just walked to the door of the room. The guest opposite seemed to notice it and opened the door just in time.
