That afternoon, Qin Tian, guided by Zhao Rui and others, found the residence of Poison Widow. Immediately after, he began to monitor Poison Widow and her group alone to understand their movements.Perhaps because they were on the special planet Magnetic-Spin Star, Poison Widow and her group did not hide their tracks. Instead, they openly walked the streets every day, either contacting black market merchants to inquire about delivery times or going to various entertainment venues to enjoy themselves.Additionally, Qin Tian discovered that Poison Widow seemed very interested in the slave market. She would often visit the slave market when she had nothing to do, and a strange glint would appear in her eyes, especially when she saw some well-built men.After learning this habit, Qin Tian already had a plan in mind.A shop without a sign in the slave market.At night, Old Neilson came to the backyard. Under the moonlight, rows of iron cages were arranged, each containing one or two unconscious men. They were generally robust, with disheveled hair, and some black tattoos on their exposed skin, looking like ancient totems.“Alas, these barbarians are going to be a loss.”Old Neilson sighed. He had been in the slave trade for almost fifty years, selling countless slaves. He had sold humans, Orcs, trolls, and even elves, but never had any race been as stubborn as these barbarians, giving slave merchants a headache.They feared neither pain nor death. No matter how he tortured them, these barbarians never bowed their heads in submission.Such slaves were almost impossible to sell.Although the price of acquiring these barbarians was not high, the thought of himself, an old man who had been immersed in the industry for decades, making a losing deal, filled him with irritation.Crack! Just then, Old Neilson heard a strange noise behind him. He turned around, and his pupils constricted.He saw Williamson, his guard of several decades, a fifth-tier Spiritual Energy User, tightly bound by a mass of green vines. The vines had tied him up like a zongzi. Williamson struggled desperately, but the vines tightened further. Under the moonlight, Old Neilson could clearly see the fear and despair in Williamson’s eyes.What was happening?Where did these vines come from?Old Neilson was horrified, and cold sweat instantly broke out all over his body.“Walter Neilson.”A clear, cold voice sounded in his ear.Whoosh! A figure suddenly appeared in front of Old Neilson, dressed in black, with a stern face, looking at him with calm, indifferent eyes.“You are—”Old Neilson took half a step back. Before he could finish speaking, a large hand pressed on his head. He felt his vision go black, and the next moment, he lost consciousness.After an unknown period, Old Neilson slowly opened his eyes. The man from before was still standing in front of him.Old Neilson stood up and bowed respectfully to the man:“Master.”At the same time, the green vines binding Williamson quickly retracted. Williamson knelt down two steps, swallowed, and also respectfully called out to the man:“Master.”“Hmm.”Qin Tian nodded, then looked at the slaves in the iron cages behind him, who wore collar bombs around their necks, and asked:“Where did you bring these slaves from?”Old Neilson hurriedly said, “Master, these barbarians come from Anya Star on the Road of Dawn.”Hearing this, Qin Tian’s eyes moved.The Road of Dawn was not a literal road.To be precise, it was a newly explored star belt. From the star map, it looked like a winding path, starting from the border of the Chaotic Star Region and extending westward. Along this path, there were planets with civilizations dotted throughout.New planets meant endless wealth and resources.When the Road of Dawn was discovered, private forces rushed into these planets ahead of the empire, inevitably clashing and conflicting with local civilizations.The Qingmu Star Region, the Amaterasu Star Region, and even the Orc Empire, all sent major forces to the Road of Dawn to seize territory. However, official forces remained inactive.This was also a common expansion strategy for the empire: first, let private forces take action. Once the local situation was thoroughly understood and the situation became clear, the imperial warships would officially set sail and plant the imperial golden dragon flag on the planet’s peak.Clearly, these barbarians were captured natives, then resold to Old Neilson.“Master, these barbarians are very special.”Old Neilson explained, “They are different from us humans, Orcs, and Spirit races. Barbarians do not possess spiritual energy, but their physical bodies are terrifying. They can crush steel with their bare hands, and powerful barbarians can even withstand the martial arts and spells of high-tier Spiritual Energy Users. This powerful physical strength comes from the tattoos on their bodies, or more precisely, totem war patterns.”“The stronger the barbarian, the denser the war patterns on their body.”“Among the barbarians I acquired, some are as strong as second-tier Spiritual Energy Users, but—”Old Neilson smiled bitterly, “Their willpower is astonishing. No matter how we threaten or torture them, not a single one has ever yielded or bowed, even the women and children are no exception.”“Now, they are completely unsellable, and it has cost me a large sum of money.”Old Neilson still believed that Qin Tian was here for money, so he truthfully confessed his current financial situation.Hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Qin Tian’s eyes. Slave merchants like Old Neilson were definitely not soft-hearted. When they truly tormented people, even warriors with iron wills might not be able to endure it.And among these barbarians, even women and children could withstand the torture. What kind of environment could possibly shape such a terrifying and respectable people?“I am not here for money.”Through the Soul Imprint, Qin Tian could perceive Old Neilson’s thoughts.Not for money?Old Neilson was stunned. If not for money, was it for an old man like him?Slap! Qin Tian kicked Old Neilson’s backside, sending him to the ground, and said coldly:“With your ugly appearance, who would even look at you?”Old Neilson suddenly looked up, greatly alarmed.The Master could actually see his thoughts?What was this, mind reading?!Old Neilson quickly stood up, apologizing in fear:“Master, I’m sorry.”Qin Tian gave him a cold glance. For such heartless, bottomless slave merchants, he would not show any pleasantries.“Have you two seen this woman?”Qin Tian took out a photo of Poison Widow.Old Neilson and Williamson glanced at it and immediately said:“Yes, we have! Yes, we have!”With Poison Widow’s extremely captivating looks, one glance was usually enough to remember her.Old Neilson said, “This woman once bought a barbarian slave from me, but later, I heard that she killed that barbarian. He was covered in wounds when he died.”“Master, this woman is very wicked. Many men who had intimate contact with her, every single one of them, are now dead.”“Why are you asking about her?”Qin Tian said indifferently, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. You only need to do one thing well.”Qin Tian assigned Old Neilson several tasks.Due to previous lessons, Old Neilson dared not have any other thoughts and nodded heavily:“Please rest assured, I will do it well.”The next morning, Poison Widow, as usual, went directly to the slave market after breakfast to see if there were any slaves that interested her.The Hundred Hunt Star Pirates’ base ship never landed, so the members could only find entertainment on board. They were already tired of ordinary entertainment activities and had no interest in them.Only playing something more stimulating could keep their spirits active.For example, slave death matches, bloody dismemberment performances, unrestrained gatherings, and so on—The members on board created new ways to play, but these methods required a continuous and very rapid consumption of lives.Therefore, in addition to those captured from merchant ships, procurement personnel would also try to buy some more interesting slaves while purchasing supplies outside.Walking on the road, Poison Widow’s beautiful and enchanting appearance attracted the gaze of all the men on the street. Their eyes were filled with heat, fervor, and greed, yet despite this, no one dared to approach her.Stories about Poison Widow had spread throughout the area, and many knew that any man who got close to her never came to a good end.“Heh, a bunch of cowards.”Poison Widow’s lips curved into an arc, seemingly in mockery and disdain. Her gaze swept back and forth over the slaves on both sides of the street, but unfortunately, after a long look, none of them piqued her interest.Just as Poison Widow was about to leave disappointed, a voice suddenly reached her ears.“Excuse me, madam.”Poison Widow turned her head and saw a familiar face.Old Neilson walked over, a market-like smile on his face:“Do you still remember me? I once sold you a barbarian slave.”“Remember, of course, I remember.” Poison Widow looked at Old Neilson with a strange gaze, “As a slave merchant, you sold me an untrained slave, and now you still dare to shamelessly appear before me.”She had a very deep impression of that barbarian slave. Even when she used the slave collar’s nerve stimulation, or whipping, or corrosive poison,The barbarian remained as unyielding as iron. In his eagle-like eyes, there was no fear, no submission, just like the eternally frozen glaciers of the far north, calmly chilling to the bone.Hearing this, Old Neilson quickly said:“My apologies, my apologies. It was my mistake back then, I picked the wrong slave. However, I’ve recently trained a new batch of barbarians, absolutely obedient. Would you like to take a look?”“Not interested, keep them for yourself.”Poison Widow dropped a sentence and walked away. She knew exactly what kind of virtue slave merchants had. To be honest, in terms of ruthlessness, these slave merchants were truly no worse than Xingdao (Star Pirates).“No, no, no, just take a look, please. Williamson, bring them over.”Old Neilson called out, and immediately, Williamson nearby pulled several barbarians over with a rope. These barbarians had their hands and feet shackled, their bodies slightly hunched, and their eyes unfocused, as if they had been given some kind of mind-altering drug, in a state of disorientation.Poison Widow originally didn’t want to bother with Old Neilson and his group. Just as she was about to coldly refuse, her gaze was suddenly drawn to one barbarian.That barbarian was well-built, with distinct, sculpted muscles. He wore a slave-exclusive bomb collar around his neck, and his face was obscured by messy hair, but one could vaguely make out his rugged features.Poison Widow had seen many barbarians of this type, but for some reason, when this barbarian appeared before her, a strong surge of lust suddenly rose within her. Her whole body felt hot, and she wished she could “battle” with the barbarian right now, even if others watched.This feeling was something she had never experienced before, almost like being possessed, completely losing her reason.“How much for this barbarian?”Poison Widow pointed at the barbarian, her voice, which had been slightly languid, became urgent.“500,000 Star Coins, you can take him directly.”Old Neilson quoted a price twice as high as before. Poison Widow didn’t haggle, directly pulled out her smart device, and transferred 500,000 to Old Neilson.Her personal account had long been frozen by the bank due to a bounty, but the Hundred Hunt Star Pirates had used some means to help her open a bank card under someone else’s name and transferred some procurement funds to that card.Spending 500,000 on a barbarian slave was actually unreasonable.However, Poison Widow couldn’t care less. Right now, she only had one thing on her mind.Take him back, then have a grand battle.Upon receiving the payment, Old Neilson smiled and handed the miniature controller for the bomb collar to Poison Widow.“Madam, would you like to look at other slaves? There’s a 20% discount if you buy multiple.”Poison Widow ignored Old Neilson, took the barbarian’s arm, and walked towards her residence.She was already impatient. After Poison Widow left, Williamson whispered to Old Neilson:“What does Master mean by this? Going through such a big detour just for this woman? He doesn’t need to use such methods if he wants to sleep with her, does he?”No sooner had he spoken than a sharp pain suddenly shot through Williamson’s mind, as if a knife had been plunged directly into his brain.“Ah!”Williamson clutched his head and screamed. Immediately after, a cold voice echoed in his mind.“Next time, just wait to become an idiot.”“I’m sorry, Master, I was wrong!!!”Williamson frantically begged for mercy internally, his back instantly soaked with sweat, terrified.Even from such a distance, the Master could still hear his whispers.What kind of terrifying hearing was this!Old Neilson looked at Williamson speechlessly. The Master could even read his inner thoughts, yet this idiot still dared to badmouth the Master behind his back. He truly didn't know how to write the word 'death'.Old Neilson shook his head. He recalled the other things the [N O V E L I G H T] Master had entrusted him with, and a glint flashed in his eyes.Perhaps, this would be the turning point for me, Neilson, to change my life.
