Winner Takes All novel Chapter 979

On the street, there was a loud noise.

Within the tribes, a young slave was a sought-after commodity.

There were certainly more possibilities for a young slave than for an adult one.

Some nobles even bought young slaves and educated them to become a kind of maids and pageboys.

Of course, being young was already very lucky for a slave himself.

The average adult slaver, once bought by his master, would do things that no man, not even a beast, could do.

As the convoy inched forward, more and more people flocked to it.

The crowd was very noisy.

Medea, who just entered a luxury store, heard the noise outside and went out of it with the female guard full of curiosity.

“A young slave?!” As Medea saw the scene in the cage, her face, which had a horrible makeup, was covered with a layer of frost, “They are…a pack of beasts!”

Those people…were in trouble!

The guard behind her got pale and looked sympathetically at the people inside the convoy of slaves.

As the daughter of the King of the Hun, Medea never detested the existence of the slaves, but she definitely couldn’t accept the existence of young slaves.

That was clear even to the habitant of the Royal City.

That was precisely because of Medea’s disgust that the King of the Hun ordered that the young slaves were strictly prohibited in the Royal City.

Anyway, twelve cities outside the Royal Palace were not included in the list.

Usually, during the traffic of slaves, young slaves only appeared in those twelve cities.

Medea also knew that the young slaves’ phenomenon was inevitable, therefore after the King of the Hun ordered the Royal City to ban them, she didn’t further investigate that matter.

However, there were twelve cities beyond the Royal City.

When Medea finally stepped out the Royal City to have a walk, she bumped into the scene of the young slaves’ convoy.

As Medea’s escort, the female guard knew very well what would happen next!

“The bad nature of the tribes made them create a situation where they could only exist outside the City, while the natural instinct of the people inside the City already crushed the tribes.”

Medea stood there, her hands clenched into fists beneath her sleeves, and she said gnashing her teeth, “Children have a future, but they are also malleable. Turning children into slaves is the stupidest way to kill off all their possibilities to have a future, it’s simply short-sighted!”

As she finished speaking, the female guard had already gone to Medea’s side.

Medea squinted and lowered her voice, “Find a way to free those young slaves.”

“I will,” the female guard replied bowing her head.

The female guard then walked towards the crowd of onlookers on the street.

Medea was standing on the store’s doorway and had a sulky expression. Staring at all those children in the cages who were about to freeze to death, her expression became even colder.

Even the shop owner, who wanted to go out to see the bustle, noticed something wrong on Medea’s expression and stood to the door subconsciously.

“Huh?!” Suddenly, Medea gave a surprised voice.

Her eyes sparkled and she stared at the figure in the cage in front.

At that moment, Medea shivered and it was as if her heart missed a few beats.

During the snowstorm, the children in the front cage were clearly better off than those inside the other two cages.

But Medea’s attention was caught by an adult figure sitting near the group of children.

That haggard, exhausted and chapped face, at the moment when Medea’s eyes were closed, looked like a hammer that severely hit her eyes on.

“Is that really…him?” Medea couldn’t help but murmur, her heart was beating fast, her eyes shone, and her whole body shivered incessantly.

All that time, she had been watching repeatedly the video about Jack sent by Timur before his death.

The foreign tribes, in the law of survival in the jungle, also created their greatest esteem for the strong.

It should be in their DNA, even if Medea was not an exception.

Moreover, Medea yearned day and night for Jack to come.

Even Jack, in his cage, looked very flustered. He even had bruises all over his body and his cheeks were visible emaciated.
