Chapter 667 Hope
So Black Night Demon saying anything to make Su Chen happy is mostly likely deceiving.
This woman, she will definitely renege on her promises.
Su Chen is not the kind of man who is incapacitated by the sight of a beautiful woman.
Black Night Demon did not expect Su Chen to make such a request.
You see, when she used this tactic in the past, hardly any man could refuse.
Meekly, they would hand over their slaves under their control to her.
But with time, everyone came to know about it.
She was planning to catch a wave because Su Chen had just arrived at the farm and was unaware of her situation.
After all, the slaves in her region had been played by her till barely any were left.
Forget about playing with them.
Even normal production was barely sustainable.
Normally, when a manager abuses a slave to death, the higher-ups would not interfere.
But failing to meet the regular production would result in punishment.
Black Night Demon had overdone last month,
leading to a significant reduction in the number of slaves in her region.
So now, she desperately needs a batch of slaves.
If she could get a dozen or so slaves from Su Chen, it would fill her shortfall.
Unfortunately, Su Chen was not so foolish.
To actually propose this...
"Little brother, how would you like me to make you happy?" Black Night Demon coquettishly said.
If other women were to act coyly towards Su Chen, he might have been somewhat unable to withstand it.
But Black Night Demon's coquetry gave him a chilling feeling.
This woman was definitely the kind to devour without spitting out bones.
Su Chen's lips curled into a faint, sinister smile and said, "Of course like this!"
Having said that, he reached out and lifted the other person up.
"Put me down." Black Night Demon was the first to concede.
"Little brother, you have to be careful. You treat these slaves as humans, but the slaves may not treat you as one," Black Night Demon kindly reminded.
Black Night Demon left.
Leaving Su Chen with a dozen slaves and three corpses on the ground.
A few minutes ago, they were all alive.
But now, they were dead.
Here, death is nothing out of the ordinary.
This is a Demon Cave with no moral or legal constraints!
The slaves still looked at Su Chen with tension.
Although Su Chen had just helped them escape a disaster,
it didn't mean they would be grateful to Su Chen.
The conflict between slaves and managers would not change because of this.
Su Chen glanced at the slaves who still looked at him with hatred and shook his head, "Actually, there's no need for this. Even if you kill me, what can it change? A new manager will come, and you will still not escape the fate of being slaves."
Su Chen knew only Liu Jie would understand his words.
But as long as Liu Jie understood, she would naturally tell the others.
Liu Jie's gaze shifted several times as she looked at Su Chen.
Su Chen could have escaped danger just now, but he chose to return.
Putting himself into the trap again.
"..."
Slaves were restless.
Their hatred for the managers had reached its peak.
Living a life worse than death each day.
And always facing imminent danger.
Living in constant despair.
What is the greatest fear for people?
It's the fear of not seeing any hope.
Every slave captured here, whether young or old,
saw not a shred of hope.
Either tortured to death by managers
or worked to death in the grain fields.
This was their fate.
So, telling them about rules, systems, or that killing a manager is a severe crime.
It makes no sense at all.
If they could kill a manager to vent their anger, even death would be worth it.
Liu Jie quickly turned around and said a few words to the slaves who were about to lose their restraint, calming their emotions.
What Su Chen said was right, even if they killed him, a new manager would come.
Their fate would not change.
Even wishing to know if her husband was still alive was a luxury.
Liu Jie bit her lip, after a long time, she slowly asked, "What can we do then?"
She could sense that Su Chen was somewhat different from other managers.
Other managers simply didn't care about the life or death of the slaves.
Nor would they reason with the slaves.
All they knew was to suppress everything by force.
Any slave who dared to defy would be mercilessly killed.
Su Chen, with his arms crossed, not only wasn't fearful of the restless slaves, but walked towards them
and then slowly said, "What you can do now, is to survive!"
"Survive, and there is hope. Once dead, there is nothing..." Su Chen's expression grew solemn at this point.
The Reverse Dragon Group, during missions, had also faced countless crises and dead-ends.
He himself had once been buried underground for nearly a month.
Yet, extremity and death
are two different concepts.
He would rather his brothers face extremity ten or a hundred times
than to have them die.
"But... I see no hope..." Liu Jie looked pensive.
Because of her ability to speak several languages, she managed to survive in this hellish place,
living a life much better than the average slave.
But what about her husband?
Her husband had no special skills.
Could he be the same as other slaves?
The answer was obvious.
Moreover, her husband might have already been killed by other managers.
Perhaps, her husband was assigned to Black Night Demon.
Even if not assigned to Black Night Demon, so much time had passed...
The belief that kept Liu Jie going was her husband.
But as time passed, she knew.
The chances of her husband surviving were very small.
But no matter how small, as long as there wasn't definite news, Liu Jie would not give up.
So, when facing Minako Ozawa's demands, she appeared so indifferent.
She wanted to survive.
Only by surviving could she hope to leave this place, to reunite with her husband.
Despite the many humiliations, she would persevere.
