Chapter 163 - Death To Those Who Disrespect Me
"$100 thousand for a little girl?" Albion's gaze frosted slightly before he said, "I see you are in a hurry to pay off the debt. How dare you demand a sky-high price from me?"
Although money was not an issue for him, it did not mean he would let others take advantage of him.
Only he can do that to others, not the other way around.
Stefano Metti immediately sweated.
"Young Master Albion, this is actually a fair price. They might just be little girls, but they are very healthy. If all their organs are harvested and sold on the black market, it'll definitely fetch higher than $100 thousand each," he argued.
When Little Sally and Wuxin heard this, they trembled with greater fear while Albion narrowed his eyes.
His pressure was unleashed into the surrounding, causing the crates being carried by the subordinates to be dropped and forced them to kneel while Stefano Metti's breathing stiffened.
"Milord, mercy!"
"Boss, help!"
The subordinated cried.
"Do not take me for a fool. Do you think child organs worth the same as adult organs? The next time you try to rip me off, your head will roll," Albion warned before lifting his pressure again.
"I understand, Young Master Albion." Stefano Metti was drenched in cold sweats.
It came to his attention that the young master was well-versed in underworld matters. He should be more honest.
"How does $100 thousand for the both of them sound, Young Master Albion?" Stefano Metti offered, directly cutting the previous price in half.
"Acceptable." Albion nodded.
With a swing of his hand smothered in Ashura Flames, the steel cage was cleanly sliced in half, freeing the two little girls.
However, they remained unmoved and continued to shiver, not knowing what Albion wanted to do to them.
At the same time, they were famished, having not eaten for a day. Their stomachs rumbled the moment they picked up the scent of food from Albion's food bag.
"The two of you belong to me now," Albion stated indifferently.
His brows quickly wrinkled in the discovery of their weakened states as the two little girls eyed his food bag.
"Eat."
Albion offered two meat skewers to Little Sally and Little Wuxin, but they did not dare accept it.
He quickly frowned.
"I don't normally share my food, so accept it while I am still nice. To be offered food by me is a privilege, you know? Also, I don't like disobedient kids," Albion stated coolly.
Once his words were spoken, the two little girls trembled further.
But at the same time, they no longer hesitated and accepted the meat skewers from Albion's hands before munching on them ravenously and devoured them within moments.
After being fed the first time, they grew some courage and eyed Albion's food bag, evidently unsatisfied and still hungry.
"Well, I guess it can't be helped. Take it," Albion directly passed the food bag to them before watching them eat in silence.
Orphan Snatcher.
It was one of the Dark Emperor's many titles, known for his tendencies to target young orphans when recruiting fresh blood for the organization, Ashura Group. It was a necessary investment and venture to guarantee loyalty to the group.
'Got to teach them while they are young, huh?' Albion thought.
If he wanted his own loyal group, he had to train them from the ground up himself and not rely on the already established group of the Dark Emperor.
Alas, it was a tedious thing to do.
Albion was not sure if he was ready for such commitments.
Ding!
[You have acquired a new title; Suspected Child Predator.]
[In light of several people deeming the host to be a person with special preferences towards little girls, you have been given this title.]
[There is a 50% chance of being silently looked down upon when the host is seen interacting with little girls.]
"...Dafuq?"
After hearing the notification, Albion's expression darkened completely before he quickly swept the nearby people with a grave look.
His sharp gaze quickly met with several other men before they panicked as if their thoughts have been completely seen through by Albion in that instance.
Swoosh~!
Albion's figure shot over to their location immediately, causing those several men to be startled at once.
"Huh? Is there something I can help you with—Arghhh!"
Before the person could finish speaking, the group of men quickly screamed as their bodies combusted into smothering black flames under Albion's Ashura Flames.
Within seconds, they were all reduced to patches of black ashes.
"Young Master Albion, what is the meaning of this?! Why did you suddenly kill my men?" Stefano Metti quickly cried with shock and alarm while taking a guarded stance.
"They disrespected me," Albion answered indifferently.
"What?"
Stefano Metti was dumbfounded.
'Does Young Master Albion have the ability to read minds or something?' Stefano Metti sweated at the thought.
At the same time, the other men working in the storage room trembled slightly with relief. Thankfully, there did not have any disrespectful thoughts towards the young master just now.
Even so, this person was too scary!
Not only do they have to be mindful of their words and action, but also their thoughts too!
Ding!
[The condition to hold the title 'Child Predator' is no longer applicable. The title will be removed promptly.]
The notification sounded.
'Seems like titles can also be lost as well,' Albion thought with a relieved sigh.
"Since those men disrespected Young Master Albion, their deaths were well-deserved," Stefano Metti nodded.
He decided not to pursue the matter. So what if he did? What could he do? Nothing. Even Mr. Fritz was not the person's match. There was no way he would be.
"Shall we continue on towards the vault, Young Master Albion? Or is there anything else in the storage room that piques your interest?"
Stefano Metti suggested politely.
"Well, why don't you just wrap everything up and give me a price?" Albion casually said before adding, "But you know what will happen if you are dishonest, right?"
"Of course! I wouldn't dare to cheat Young Master Albion again. You have my word." Stefano Metti nodded repeated before saying excitedly, "I'll have it done right away!"
Shortly after, the storage room quickly became busy.
While the storage room contained many items that were not exactly useful for Albion, the same could not be said for the people working under him.
