Reborn as a Supervisor

"Shouldn't the transaction be one-to-one? Why is there a tax?"

Atilokha questioned as the old man had not told them these things.

"It takes a lot of money to support such a large trading market. Why do you think these people can still survive in this remote place?"

"But we are just passing through and don't plan to stay here long!"

Although Atilokha has grown, it is still not enough and he is not handling things properly.

People tend to lose their temper when encountering small unfair things, but direct conflicts can be avoided if handled properly.

"Then you have to pay. If we don't have a long-term deal, why should we give you a discount first? If the balance is broken, it will be difficult for us to deal with it, right?"

"It's a fact that people are shaped by the environment they live in. If you were a bandit, you wouldn't have left half of it for us. We are still law-abiding people."

In fact, the other party had already made the conditions very generous, but Atilokha did not understand the situation.

They have only two conditions: hand over the goods or stay for a long time and be exploited.

If they said that they were commissioned by residents to buy things, then they would not make anything from this trip.

Finally, just hand over a few items to fool the other party, and you can basically leave. If that doesn't work, you can say that you and others will come often in the future.

These two little brothers are not a threat and can be sent away by giving them some benefits. The most dangerous thing is to delay time and initiate a head-on conflict with the other party.

After all, this is the opponent's territory, and it is almost impossible to retreat unscathed, so Atiloka must learn to suffer losses.

"So, either keep half or leave the animal here. Choose one. There are many people who can go home without an animal."

"No, not animals!"

"Then leave the food?"

“No food for you either!”

Roger answered all of Atilokha's questions first, and it was obvious that she had succeeded in irritating him.

“So you want to live a paid life for free?”

"It is simply wrong to do this. Even if you collect money, you cannot exploit the fruits of others' labor so much."

"What's the difference between you and the robbers? These foods are life-saving food for everyone. We absolutely cannot give them to you!"

Roger doesn't know what "human relations" are. All she knows is fairness, justice and filling her stomach.

Chen Fan started to have a headache again. It was the first time he felt that Roger was so stupid...

It is better to take the initiative and kill them before others can react than to reason with them when you know that they are not good people.

The law of survival in the snow is "survival of the fittest", and no one wants to provoke the strong.

Those who like to reason are often the easiest to bully, because all they have left is a mouth and a brain full of knowledge.

"Oh, we have to hear this a thousand or even hundreds of times a day. Are we going to let a thousand or eight hundred people do whatever they want?"

"Don't worry about her. The child doesn't understand this. Just help her get it for her sake."

Roger held on to the food tightly, and the other children tried to stop them from taking it away by force.

More and more people with white clothes covering their faces gathered around, and they gradually changed from driving them away to threatening them with knives.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Atilokha advised Roger to save his life and held her tightly to let go of the food.

"No, even if we let them go, they will starve to death."

"Then give them the animals. We'll always have a chance to compensate them with something."

"No, we borrowed the old man's animal. It will be even harder to get another one than today!"

"Let go, Roger!"

As the two men were in a stalemate, Houns wrestled with the man on the opposite side, trying to cover Roger and Atilokha.

"Are you guys done yet? Don't let these people get the food! Don't give the food away to others!"

The people in white clothes around changed their targets and aimed at the medical supplies in their hands to snatch the medical box in Miser's hand.

Houns hesitated as he saw his hope of curing Bourgeois taken away.

Attiloka looked at Bourgeois, who had fallen to the ground with no one to help him up, and the people in white clothes running around were gradually gathering around him.

He gritted his teeth and made a truly correct decision to "sacrifice the small to save the big."

"Sorry……"

They got the food, and Houns grabbed it and gave it to Misher, who rode the animal through a gap in the crowd while the other children ran to safety.

Bourgeois lay on the ground with his eyes closed, as if he had accepted his fate, that he was being abandoned.

"I'm sorry... Roger, I can't save Bourgeois, I can only save you..."

On the white snow, Attiloka stared at Roger helplessly.

Roger smiled at him as if he thought he was going to hug him.

She took off the bandage on her face, wiped her nose, and tried to look cool, with blood on her face, punching the air.

Roger said to Atilokha with a smile.

"Atilokha, stop putting all the responsibility on yourself. You are not wrong. This is the fate of people like me."

When Atilokka came back to reality from his trance, he found that Roger had already pushed him away with a smile, and was submerged in a crowd of white people.

In the end, he could only rescue Bourgeois, but Roger...no need to say more.

……

"Attiloka, Attiloka?"

"Attiloka, what's wrong with you? Attiloka."

"Atilokha, you have to live well, isn't that what you said?"

In a blink of an eye, Atilok was once again standing in the snow at the night market, and he didn't know why he ran back here.

"By the way, is Roger okay...?"

……

Diary: December 11

On the second day, Roger's legs were chopped off and placed beside her. Her abdominal cavity was completely cut open, and even her mouth was cut by the enemy, so she could not speak.

Her trembling body only told me that she was scared. I stroked her forehead and ended her pain with a knife.

Because the cold ice and snow delayed her death, after a whole day, she was still alive, alive in pain.

His intestines were scattered on the ground, the blood from the corner of his mouth was frozen, and one hand was still raised, as if he wanted to touch Atilokha.

But she had already been freed by now...these were just Atiloka's memories.

There was a long silence as they looked at the food Roger had exchanged for his life. Everyone looked at each other, unable to eat.

Houns looked at Bourgeois, then at Atilokha who was looking at the bread with his head down, his back soaked with cold sweat.

He could hardly hold on any longer, and when he was about to speak, Atiloka picked up the bread and began to eat it bite by bite.

He covered his mouth, as if he wanted to spit it out, but he didn't dare to. He forced himself to eat it while crying.

Ersalu wanted to go up and stop him, but Houns stopped him.

"We can't give up. We can't give up the food. We can't give up the chance they give us to survive..."

Only if he survives will Roger's sacrifice be worthwhile.
