Chapter 203: Lurking in Steel Mane City 1
Jenny and Barrick are a brother and sister who live in the slums west of Steelmane City. Their father is a monkey warrior. When he was young, he captured their mother during a war of looting in the south. Their mother is a pure-blooded human woman who once asked for death after being captured.
But my father was different from the other members of the tribe. He was not cruel at all. Although he was an orc, he was very thoughtful. After bringing my mother back, he always treated her gently. In addition, the monkeys did not look as scary as the other beastmen. After a long time of getting along, my mother finally accepted my father.
In the following years, Jenny and Barrick were born. Although the family of four lived in a slum, their father always found a way to bring back some delicious and fun things for the two siblings, so Jenny and Barrick had a relatively happy childhood.
But in the last war to the south, my father unfortunately fell on the battlefield. Although the war was profitable overall, no one would pay much attention to a dead orc. My mother only received the news of my father's death, and nothing else.
The lives of Jenny and Barrick's family suddenly fell into a difficult situation. The innate diligence and hard-working qualities of humans made the mother bear the burden of raising two children alone. Although other orcs had other ideas, fortunately, the orcs as a whole took care of the families of soldiers, and they did not dare to use force.
In the orc kingdom, the lower-level orcs can't even live a good life, so how can a human woman live a good life?
Under the care of their mother, Jenny and her brother could only barely make ends meet and survived with difficulty. But this kind of life did not last for more than a few years. Their mother eventually collapsed from overwork and never woke up again.
An eldest sister is like a mother. Jenny is already 14 years old. In the orc world, she is old enough to get married. It’s not that no one has come to propose marriage to her, but her younger brother Barrick is only 12 years old. She wants to take care of him for a few more years, hoping to wait until he comes of age. It would be even better if he could join the boot camp and become an orc warrior. In this way, his brother won’t have to worry about getting married and having children, and she can also live up to her dead parents.
One day, Jenny was on her way back from work when she felt someone was following her. She looked back but saw nothing.
Jenny felt that she might be suffering from paranoia. This was on the street. Anyone who dared to bully others openly would be punished. The orcs’ laws were very strict.
But as they got closer to home, the feeling grew stronger, until Jenny was stopped in her tracks.
"Hey, isn't this our pretty and lovely sister Jenny? Where did you come from again? Let's see if you bought anything delicious today."
The chaos in the slums is well-known throughout Steel Mane City, and the guards in the city rarely come here. Although everyone knows the power of the law, there are still many dark and dirty things in places where the law cannot reach.
Jenny had no idea how many times she had experienced this scene before. She knew that as long as she ignored them and hid from them in public, everything would be fine.
Jenny moved cautiously, trying to get around them, but today these guys didn't seem to just talk nonsense like before, and they grabbed Jenny's arm.
"What are you doing? Let me go." Jenny struggled and shouted.
"What? I'm telling you, I've been selected into the recruit camp and will be training soon. I'll be a great orc warrior in the future. But I still need a wife. I think you're a good wife. Your family can't make ends meet, so I can give you some money.
Oh, by the way, I will also take care of your encumbered brother, how about that? I treat you well, don't I?" The pig-headed man Hero looked at Jenny, then turned his head to look at his younger brothers and said with a smile.
"Yes, sister-in-law Jenny, just obey the eldest brother. If you follow eldest brother Hiro in the future, you will enjoy endless happiness and good food. There is nothing to be embarrassed about." Several younger brothers also encouraged him.
"Let me go, I don't want to, let me go, everyone help me." Jenny was still shouting.
The people around looked at Jenny and Hiro with indifference, most of them looked like they were enjoying a good show. A few monkey beastmen wanted to step forward to help, but after thinking it over, they decided not to take any action.
In this city, except for the orc royal family, the status of pig-headed people is generally higher than that of other orcs. Although there are legal constraints, such things happen every day in the slums. Who can control it? Who dares to control a pig-headed man?
Just as Hiro and Jenny were pulling each other, a loud voice came from behind, "Let her go!"
Hiro and his younger brothers looked at a "monkey" orc slowly approaching from behind, and thought that this guy was really very brave.
"What? Say it again? You were the one who was meddling in other people's business just now?" Shiro didn't expect that there were still monkeys who dared to meddle in his business.
"I say, let her go and don't make me angry. Even Monkey is afraid of himself when he gets angry." Colin said as he walked closer to them.
Several other monkey orcs not far away were also watching with joy. You know, the orcs admire warriors. If they can really defeat these pig-headed people head-on, even if the other pig-headed people know about it, they will not say much.
They wanted to go forward to cheer him on, but they were afraid that this guy was just a figurehead. If he couldn't hold on, they would have to suffer as well, so they decided to just wait and see.
"Hey, where did you come from? Master, I want to see what happens when you get angry." Hero laughed loudly.
Colin twisted his neck, moved his wrists, and said, "How about it? Let's try it out."
"Oh, he wants to fight with me, I'm so scared... I want to die! I'll help you, brothers, come on!" Hiro was not a pushover either. As soon as he finished speaking, he let go of Jenny and rushed forward with a few of his brothers.
These pig-headed men are not even recruits. According to the strength classification on the human side, they are at most an apprentice knight's squire, not even at the low level. They are really not good enough in front of Colin.
Colin knocked several guys to the ground with just three punches and two kicks. This was because Colin deliberately restrained 90% of his strength, otherwise, these guys would be beaten into blood foam with just one punch.
"Are you convinced?" Colin asked, looking down at Hiro lying on the ground.
"I surrender, big brother." In the face of strength, Hiro had to bow his head.
“Then do you dare to pester Jenny again?”
"I don't dare anymore. I don't dare anymore."
“Okay, if I see you pestering Jenny again, it won’t be so easy next time, so get lost.”
After hearing what Colin said, the Hiro brothers didn't dare to say even a word and immediately got up and ran away.
"Let's go, let's go home first." Colin said to Jenny.
Several other monkey beastmen wanted to come forward and make friends, but Colin ignored them and just looked at Jenny quietly.
"Where did this warrior come from? When did our monkey tribe have such a powerful person? Why don't I know him?"
"It's right that you don't know him. Who are you? How could you know such a powerful person? Besides, the Orc Empire is so big, it's normal to have a few monkey warriors."
Jenny was also a little confused. Who was this kind-hearted person in the clan? Was he a friend that her father had made when he was alive? Why had she never heard her father mention him?
However, Jenny could still feel the kindness of this person. It was not convenient to say much on this occasion. She just nodded to Colin and took Colin home.
