"S- sir, how can we help you?" Asked one of the humans assigned to guard the gate, in apparent fear
"Tell the chief of this settlement that Jabba son of Thandor wants to see him." Jabba declared in a high voice
"Of course, please come in and I will let the chief know of your presence." The human bowed and pointed inside the settlement
But Jabba shook his head, "Hmph, who do you think I am? Do as I say! Your chief must come out to receive me personally."
The guard nodded vigorously several times and ran into the settlement
Leaving several people looking at Jabba in fear, and at Robin in puzzlement, thus Jabba shouted at them, "Go away, I don't want to see a single one of you at sight!"
Like headless chickens, every one of them ran in a different direction without looking back
"That was unnecessary," Robin said, annoyed by what he saw
Jabba gave a low-pitched chuckle, "You said you only want to meet their chief, right? The chiefs of human settlements have some powers and rights that come close to those of the giants themselves, so many of them act with arrogance toward the rest of the humans, and towards even the weak giants,
you wouldn't see the guy without being an important person, or a maybe when a disaster happens that requires his appearance... And I don't think you want me to create a disaster here, do you?"
Robin sighed and said nothing... Jabba knows how this world works more than he, it is better to leave this to him.
At first, he thought of coming alone and meet that chief in secret, tell him what happened to Lauri, and then disappear again
But this would mean that he had to hide around and in the settlement to investigate and identify him... and might require questioning a few people
This would mostly end up with him lurking around for days until he finds that chief alone and in a private place to talk, and even then the settlement chief might doubt his actions and distrust him... And all that for what?
For this he decided to bring Jabba with him and made him the one who asked to meet the chief of the settlement, he would directly tell him the few words he came for and just leave.
"Haha welcome, welcome, my lord and master Jabba, I did not think that the day would come when our small settlement would have the honor of you stepping in it, this little Orzon welcomes you!"
Robin heard a human voice and looked toward the source.
An old man was coming their way, wearing new, heavy clothes that covered his whole body, had a big beard and mustache and long hear that were white as snow...
He looked much better off than the rest of the humans Robin had seen so far.
"Save this for someone else, we have to talk.." Jabba said seriously
"That.." Orzon's Old features looked frightened, "Alright then, please come with me to my humble tent, that means our little colony will have the honor of having you for a while longer, haha come come."
Orzon began to retreat to the back step by step as he was still facing Jabba as if he did not dare to give him his back and walk in front of him
Only after about twenty steps and after Jabba and Robin entered the settlement did the old man turn to look in front of him, but he still kept the half-bent position all the way
Robin looked at him with the side of his eye, not knowing if he was sad or disgusted by this old man's actions...
He reckons that the humans here have to do these things to survive, but this person has taken the craft to another level!
No wonder his clothes and his physical condition are better than the rest of the people he saw, it's clear that he kissed a lot of ass in order to secure a better life for himself
"Greetings, Deputy Jabba."
"If you need me, don't hesitate to call my name, I will do anything for you, Deputy Jabba!"
Along the way, voices came from the right and the left, they were giants, But Jabba didn't reply he was satisfied with looking at them and gave a little nod...
Whether the settlement chief actions or the respectable greetings of those giants, It told Robin something about the person who offered to follow him
The whole Land of the Lightning Tribe seemed to acknowledge how talented and powerful Jabba was!
Then he spread his sense of soul in all directions and closed his eyes as he walked...
Quickly he found eleven giants in the settlement, they were all separated and It was clear that they did not come together.
They were catching human girls, feeling their bodies and squeezing their breasts, a few of them were catching the young males who were randomly passing by in the streets, and would start feeling their muscles apparently to see if they can do the hard work waiting for them.
And behind every giant, there were a few girls of boys, some of them crying and some waving to their parents for distance... they knew their destiny was sealed and that they have found their role.
Clearly, those giants were here to do shopping.
...As for the settlement itself, it is small, too small that it can be called a village more appropriate than the word settlement...
Its walls are short, any wild rabbit or dog can jump over it, there is little to no protection, yet the population is about 5,000 individuals, and more than half of them are children!
In some tents, Robin observed more than 7 children, the oldest of whom was eight years old...
It is clear that the women who were not taken away were exhausted by pregnancy to insanely increased offspring, it was understandable, or at this rate of losing the youth, there shouldn't be any human settlement here.
"Haha, please you go ahead." The settlement chief gave a full bow when he reached the largest and cleanest tent in the settlement and signaled to Jabba to enter, then signaled to the rest of the people around them to go to their work
After Jabba and Robin came in and sat on cushions on the floor, Orzon came after and sat down in front of them and looked at Jabba with a big smile, "Go ahead, my lord, how can this little one help you?"
"Tsk~ Don't you feel shame old man, how old are you?" Robin is starting to get annoyed at the man calling himself *this little one*, the situation from the start and so far is so uncomfortable.
The head of the settlement looked at him strangely, as if he had noticed him for the first time, and then spoke forcefully, "Didn't your parents teach you to remain silent in the presence of the lords unless they are addressed to you? Which settlement produced you, brat? I will teach you a lesson today on their behalf! sorry for that master Jabba."
"Pff-HAHAHA I didn't see that coming... hey old man, who wants to talk to you is Robin, not me." Jabba laughed out loud when he saw Robin being *taught a lesson by his elder*
"Hmm?" Orzon looked at the giant in astonishment and then looked back at Robin again, this time with a closer examination... but he found nothing of importance.
Robin is taller than normal humans by about 30cm *1ft*, looks skinny compared to an average human, and has very low bone and muscle density, but his overall features still say he's closer to humans than any other race... maybe he was born with deformities or something like that.
If there's anything weird about him, it's that he can walk around with such a scrawny body, but that's not his issue to think about.
"Robin, huh? A strange name.. so how can I help you, sir Robin?" Orzon Asked politely and with a smile this time
even if the person in front of him is a human slave, the fact that Jabba accompanied him here so that he can say something means that this thing is important, or that Robin himself is important...
Either way, the strange Human with the strange name deserves respect now.
