Assassin's Chronicle - Chapter 117

Chapter 117
"Yes," Ahab said with sympathy .


"Do you mean her temper is still hot or…?
Ahab shook his head . "She has some mental problems . She said she was Shansa Empire’s princess and claimed to sentence me to death . It was ridiculous . "
Anfey had always been calm but he could not help being shocked at that moment . Ahab was squinting his eyes, feeling sorry for that "nut . " He did not see Anfey’s look, otherwise he would have been able to tell something from it .
Christian had been following after Anfey . He did not know the whole story . Seeing Anfey zoning out, he secretly touched Anfey’s arm .
Anfey snapped out of it . "Where did you meet that nut?"
"We bought those girls from Shansa Empire’s military . " Ahab’s eyes shone .
Anfey could tell Ahab was lying with just one glance . With the information he had, the princess of Shansa Empire must have fled and crossed Ahab’s business route . Ahab must have seen a lonely, beautiful girl in the deserted prairie and wanted to catch her . He would be happy no matter whether he sold her or kept her for himself .
"My bro, I remember you said you have tried to sell female slaves in Blackwater City for two days . Didn’t anyone want to buy that nut?" Anfey smiled .
"Master Anfey, you must be kidding . The third oldest son of Saidy in Tiger of Tawau mercenary group is getting married to the princess of Shansa Empire . The princess is in Blackwater City now . I could not let that nut get on the stage . She would yell that she was the princess of Shansa Empire on the stage . If Tiger of Tawau mercenaries heard about it, they would stop my business . I am just a merchant . I do not dare to offend them," Ahab said, smiling .
Anfey did not know whether he should laugh or cry . After the wagon route noticed the princess had fled, they must have searched for her everywhere . After they failed to find her, they must have replaced the princess with another girl to cover it . The upper class in Tiger of Tawau mercenary group must have known about it, since Saidy acted very weirdly .
If Anfey calculated right, Ahab’s merchant caravan must have reached Blackwater City a day earlier than the princess’s caravan . The princess’s wagons had been searching everywhere without knowing their princess was in Ahab’s merchant caravan . The upper class in Tiger of Tawau mercenary group would never think their princess had become a slave . Failing to see the princess by a narrow chance made a huge difference . It must be a joke played by God .
"Did you say that nut was a lot better than elves?" Anfey squinted his eyes to leer at the "nut . " Only squinting his eyes could accentuate his dirty mind .
"Of course!" Ahab nodded . "What do you think, Master Anfey . Are you interested in her?"
"Let me take a look first . " Anfey smiled .
A few elves were sitting in a fancy wagon while the poor "nut," covered by a canvas, stood in a cage which was only big enough for a person to stand up in . When Ahab took the canvas off her, a pretty girl appeared in front of Anfey .
Suddenly, Anfey did not have the words to describe this girl . Stunning? But she was not like a vulgar rose, rather an angel . Beautiful? A little subjective . The word "beautiful" was not enough to describe the girl in front of him . Pretty? She had a young girl’s appearance to her . She gave out a different and indescribable feeling . She also looked energetic .
She had a full forehead and a pair of bright and innocent eyes . This kind of eyes made men have the desire to win her heart over . Her nose pointed slightly upwards, which made her look naughty . Her lips were small and pink: a natural pink color, not flower-juice-dyed redness . They looked so alluring . She was not extremely beautiful if just judging by her face, but she gave people a unspeakable feeling . Even calm as Anfey was, his eyes were brightened up for a second when he saw her .


The princess squinted her eyes when the bright light suddenly hit her, and then she looked into the distance . It looked like she did not even see Anfey and the others .
Her bun was messy, and she only wore a light blue denim dress which only country girls wore . She did not wear any shoes . Her toes and lower legs were fair and silky, but they were trembling . Anfey knew it was because she had stood in the cage for a long time . Her bones were reaching to their limits to support her weight .

Anfey glanced at Ahab and wondered if the denim dress made Ahab neglect other things on this girl, or Ahab wanted a good price for this beautiful girl, or even Ahab was drowning in her beauty . Ahab neglected something he should not have neglected .
Her silky skin alone should be enough to prove she was not a country girl .
"Master Anfey, do you like her?" Ahab waved his hand . A bodyguard walked over with a bucket of water . Ahab took over the bucket and poured it on the girl . He laughed obnoxiously, "You can see it more clearly this way . "
Water had wet the girl’s body . The denim dress stuck tightly to her skin . Two black spots showed on her chest . Her breasts, crotch, and even her butt showed clearly in front of everyone .
Anfey looked first at her face instead of at her body . It was weird that she did not scream, get angry, or get scared . That girl still stood there quietly, looking far away .
"How is it? Very clear, right?" Ahab obnoxiously smiled . He reached his hand out and touched her and squeezed her butt cheeks hard . That girl did not move her body to fight him . She looked down at Ahab and said, "You, ugly pig . I have told you that someday you will pay for what you have done to me . " The reason she could talk so calmly under such conditions was unknown . Maybe it was because she had given up fighting or was angry to the point she did not care about anything .


"Pay what, tell me," Ahab laughed weirdly . He even touched her breasts and rubbed her nipples with his fingers . In fact, only Ahab himself knew he felt uneasy every time when this girl talked to him in a calm voice . He had to act more relentlessly to give himself confidence . He had decided he would take her to his bed tonight if Anfey did not want to buy her . After sleeping with her for a couple of nights, he would bury her somewhere . He did not want to have those uneasy feelings anymore .
The girl seemed to sense his uneasiness . She knew fighting and struggling only could make him feel proud of what he had done . She stayed still . She held on to the metal cage so tight that her knuckles had turned white .
"How much is she? I will buy her . " Anfey did not want this obnoxious drama to continue . He had made a quick decision to buy her . If that woman is a beautiful flower, then Ahab actually was just a pig trying to ruin the flower . He looked so disgusting .
"Hahaha, Master Anfey, I knew you would buy her once you see her . " Ahab rubbed his hands with excitement . "I do not make much from you . Ok . Two hundreds gold coins . I bought her for one hundred and ninety gold coins . She’s been drinking and eating for the past few days . She cost me pretty a lot . "
That girl did not even bother to tell Anfey about Ahab’s lie . No one would believe what she said under these circumstances . She could only keep quiet .
"Deal . Let her out," Anfey said, smiling .
"Sure, sure . " Ahab was so happy . He nodded and few bodyguards walked up and pulled the woman out of the cage . Of course, those guys took the opportunity to touch her all over .
"Master Anfey, she is yours now . " Ahab smiled . He reached his hand out and grabbed her butt again . He was worried when he could not sell her . Once she was sold, Ahad did not want to let her go . What kind of person was he?
The girl suddenly turned around and punched Ahab in the eye . Ahab never thought a woman who never showed any violence would attack him . He was just a businessman and could not take such a punch . He immediately put his hand over his eye and screamed . His bodyguards got mad . One of them grabbed the girl’s shoulder .
"What are you doing?" Anfey sneered . Christian stepped next to Anfey . He had seen too much up to that point and would not mind showing off what he could do .
"Wait . " Ahab yelled immediately . Ahab knew the rules of purchase . Once Anfey agreed to buy the female slave, they did not have any right to hit her .
"Two hundred and ten gold coins . Bro, those ten extra gold coins are for you to see doctors," Anfey said calmly .
Ahab was shocked for a second . He looked regretful . When he asked for two hundred for the girl, he had been prepared to accept Anfey’s bargaining . Who would think Anfey did not care about the price? He had figured Anfey had money, but did not think he would have that much money . If being hit on the eye could make him ten gold coins, geeze, he wished that "nut" could have hit him more .
"Where is Isis?" the girl suddenly asked .
"Who is Isis?" Anfey was shocked by her question .
"Master Anfey, Isis is her companion," Ahab answered quietly . His hand was still covering his eye . Obviously, the punch was pretty hard .
"Where is she?" Anfey asked . "Since I already bought her, I do not mind buying another one . "
"She is at…" Ahab hesitated a bit and said, "She is with mercenaries . "
