A man with a scar on his face walked up with a fawning expression, "We’ve already been to the east and south, and we brought back all the hostages."
"Master," a short man also fawned, "We’ve also searched the north thoroughly, even digging three feet into the ground, there’s no way anything could be missed."
"Master, we also searched the west, and brought back the people?" Another man smiled outwardly but was crying inside.
With such a commotion outside, they naturally knew and had obediently stayed at home, behaving well, not wanting to cause trouble.
Yet the front door was kicked open, and this person appeared. After he tampered with their bodies, he sent them to do tasks.
Some rebelled, but were slapped to death on the spot.
They had no choice but to submit.
Even that was not as bad.
What was even more frustrating was later finding out that they were considered the lucky ones, as many who hadn’t escaped were not as safe at home.
Upon learning about their plight, others had immediately fled.
Some among them attempted to escape, only to burst once they left Rat City.
Therefore, the three groups, totaling over a hundred people, could only obediently cooperate and do his bidding.
"Hmm, well done."
Chen Fan nodded.
"Master, does that mean?"
Someone eagerly asked.
"Hmm?" Chen Fan glanced over.
That person quickly shut his mouth, not daring to speak.
Chen Fan turned his gaze towards a group of several hundred women not far away,
"Don’t be afraid, I am from the Awakened Association. I came this time to take you away from here."
Hearing this, the people crouched on the ground widened their eyes, almost unable to believe their ears.
This person, this person was here to save them?
"Sir, is it true what you say?" A girl in her teens said through tears, "Are you really here to rescue us?"
"Nonsense!"
The scar-faced man seized the opportunity and shouted, "This lord called you over to save you, do you think he would harm you? Hmph, if the lord really wanted to harm you, would he go through all this trouble!"
"Exactly!"
The short man echoed, also feeling wronged.
They had suffered a lot to bring these people over, even losing brothers in the process of fighting.
Was it easy for them?
Hearing this, the hostages cried tears of joy, their sobs echoing.
To be honest, their hearts had become numb. They thought they would end up like the sisters who had been captured before and die here. Who would have thought there would be a day they would be rescued.
"Alright, now is not the time for this; time is precious."
Seeing this scene, Chen Fan felt a mix of emotions and spoke up, "Among you, are there any familiar people who haven’t arrived yet? If so, quickly speak up."
The city has many auras. Even he couldn’t completely distinguish which ones were hostages and which were villains who had fled here.
"My younger sister hasn’t come."
"Several of my sisters haven’t come either."
Suddenly, a dozen voices rose.
"Follow them and bring those people back." Chen Fan looked at the three groups.
"Yes, sir!"
The three groups responded quickly.
If before, they wished Chen Fan would die.
After Chen Fan personally confirmed he was an Awakener, each one’s heart filled with excitement.
Clearly, this lord was not ordinary.
These women could be saved, maybe they too would have that chance?
They had thought being found by him was the worst luck of their lives, but now it seemed to be a blessing in disguise?
