Chapter 269 Trafficking
Did you watch yesterday's game?
"I saw it! Xie Siduo is really amazing!"
"Indeed, but Axe is no pushover either; he finished the battle quickly!"
Do you know what a ferret is?
"Yeah, I know. That guy is really good. I heard that Lute didn't even manage to touch him!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I heard about it too. He was killed by Lute without taking any damage! Some people are even saying that he is the number one person after Shesto and Axe!"
"That's really impressive, considering those two are..."
As Lin Tian listened to their casual conversation and sipped his wine, a smile appeared on his face as he listened to their stories.
"Yes, that doesn't sound like bragging."
Lin Tian muttered something under his breath, then turned his gaze to the child in front of him who was staring at him expectantly.
"What's wrong?... You can't drink this, kids shouldn't drink alcohol!"
"Begging won't work. How about this... I'll go ask if they have any milk or juice..."
Lin Tian immediately went to the bar, but the answer the waiter gave him made him frown.
"No, are you sure?"
"I'm sorry, sir, our tavern doesn't have those..."
"you......"
Lin Tian looked at the apologetic waiter, then turned to look at the child staring at him expectantly, a hint of helplessness flashing across his drunken face.
"Hmm... never mind, I'll go out and look for it!"
"Hey! Can you watch my child for me?"
The staff member frowned slightly at the strong smell of alcohol, but he didn't say anything and just nodded.
"Then I'll watch it for you for a while. Come back as soon as possible."
"Watch closely!"
After saying this, Lin Tian staggered out the door. During this time, the child did not say a word and seemed very well-behaved.
Bang!
The wooden door slammed shut with a loud clang, momentarily pausing the tavern's chatter before quickly returning to its lively atmosphere.
Lin Tian's departure didn't seem to cause much change in the tavern, but the waiter's eyes gradually turned cold as he looked at the closed wooden door and the dazed child staring at him.
"kid."
"Uncle will take you to play, okay?"
"........."
"it is good."
....................
"Another one?"
“His father got drunk and left him here alone, so he just kidnapped him.”
Aren't you afraid his father will come after you?
"Ha! With so many children abducted, which parent wouldn't come looking for them? But what's the use? I'll just tell them there were too many people and I couldn't keep an eye on them."
"What, he dares to hit me?"
In front of a rather secluded little dilapidated house, the bartender was smoking a cigarette and chatting with a man who looked like a thug. In the small house behind them, there were many children and elderly people, mostly children, about seven or eight of them.
They were mostly unconscious, including the child the bartender had just abducted from Lin Tian, whose eyes were closed and who was leaning against the wall.
Clearly, they were destined to suffer the same fate as the Shah King.
"The car is here."
With a shout from the bartender and the thug, an ordinary-looking carriage pulled up in front of the hut. As children were loaded into the carriage one by one, it started moving again.
However, unlike when they arrived, the carriage was no longer empty; instead, it was returning fully loaded.
Kaka~
The sound of wheels rolling filled the air, and as the carriage moved forward, a gentle breeze stirred.
call!
After an unknown amount of time, a leaflet with the warning "Beware of Trafficking" was blown by the wind and gradually landed in front of a man.
slap~
Lin Tian bent down and picked it up, then looked in the direction the carriage had left.
"interesting."
....................
"Is this right here?"
"That's right, meow. Although they tried to cover their tracks very well, they still couldn't escape my detection, meow."
It was an ordinary-looking club, so ordinary that Lana almost doubted that it was the right place.
However, she quickly denied this, because a short while later, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the clubhouse.
The goods have arrived!
As the man in the carriage shouted, a side door suddenly opened on one side of the clubhouse.
"Is that the child?"
"That's right, meow!"
Hearing Miaowu's affirmation, Lana's eyes darkened, and as the carriage entered through the side door, Lana's eyes became anxious.
"We can't wait any longer. Meow, you stay here and watch over things. I'll go notify the law enforcement agency."
As Lana was about to head to the law enforcement office, Meow suddenly placed its paw on her shoulder and called out to her.
"and many more!"
"what happened?"
Looking at Lana's puzzled expression, Meow gave her a meaningful look.
Do you really think they'll come with you just because you go?
"You mean I'm a wanted criminal, but I'm disguised and they can't tell the difference, right?"
"No, that's not what I'm talking about."
"Fine, take a look for yourself!"
As it spoke, Meow changed its pupils to a deep purple again, and after the transformation was complete, it placed its paws next to Lana's eyes to share her vision.
"See..."
As Meow shared the message, a scene that Lana could hardly believe unfolded before her eyes.
"this......."
"Unbelievable, isn't it...?"
"I...should have thought of that earlier..."
What shocked Lana was a sordid scene of transactions. After the unconscious children were transported into the club by carriage, the club manager immediately tore off a few of the better-looking ones, washed them, and sent them to a room.
Lana recognized the people in that room; they were from the Sand City Enforcement Bureau, and many of them were high-ranking officers.
Especially the fat pig sitting in the middle, these children were the ones he specifically requested. Clearly, he was a lecherous bastard, and Lana recognized him; he was the deputy director of the law enforcement bureau.
Seeing this, even if Lana was stupid, she would know that the law enforcement agency and these human traffickers were having shady dealings.
"These bastards!"
After realizing the truth came a surge of intense anger. Lana's disgust for these guys had reached its peak, and she wished she could rush in right now and give them a good beating.
However, Lana calmed down afterward because she knew that the children were still in danger and she had to find a way to save them.
snort!
You're not saving those children.
I'll do it myself!
