Chapter 57: Repaying Kindness With Ingratitude
“Please, please…”
Even though the mother was already vomiting blood from the beating, she still shook her head stubbornly. She even used all her strength to crawl towards her daughter and reached out her bloody hand to grab her. “Baby, Mommy is here…”
“Ah!!!”
The woman screamed.
The guards stepped impatiently on the back of her hand and strung her up. They then flashed their whips and whipped the woman hard.
Smack! Smack!
The whip made a terrible sound, and even the slaves who were watching seemed to feel it and begged for mercy in fear.
“Sir, please spare them. They just don’t know the rules yet!”
“If you kill them now, you won’t have any money. They can only be sold for a good price if they’re alive!”
Slaves were killed in the slave den every day. Either they were killed by the other slaves or they were tortured to death by these perverted guards.
The tragic state of the mother and daughter touched the crowd.
However, their pleas were completely useless to the guards. They even turned on them. “Who are you to speak here? Scram! Or I’ll beat you all up!”
Soon, several guards brought their guns and surrounded the slaves to prevent them from moving forward.
Those people huddled together, not daring to move again.
Before long, the woman fainted from the whipping, and their daughter was forcibly taken away.
Silence soon returned to the basement. The slaves had witnessed the entire mother-daughter episode, and they were silently suppressing their emotions that were about to erupt.
All of them wanted to tear these guards apart, but what could they do?
Qiu Tong pursed her lips and said in silence, “Every day, you’re either sold or bullied by these guards. Have you never thought of escaping together?”
The slaves looked at her as if she were a lunatic. “Escape? Everyone is injured. How can we escape?”
“There’s also the device tied to our ankles. We’ll probably be blasted into meat paste before we reach the door!”
Qiu Tong muttered, “I know how to cure injuries…”
“Tsk, stop bullshitting.”
Qiu Tong was interrupted before she could finish.
The burly man, Kai En, whom she had stepped on yesterday, looked at her mockingly. “Stupid woman, is there something wrong with your brain?! You keep saying such crazy things. Do you really think you’re invincible?”
Qiu Tong knew that if she did not cure one of them in public today, these slaves would not believe her.
She smirked and said coldly, “You don’t believe me? Come and try then.”
Kai En still did not believe her. “Don’t bring up all our hopes just to drop us into despair. If we can’t escape as you said, everyone will tear you apart!”
What a joke. She was just a woman. How could she know these things?
Furthermore, there was no medicine in the slave den. Under such circumstances, how could she cure them?
Everyone’s emotions were stirred up by Kai En. “Yes! Shut up! Even if you can cure our injuries, can you also remove our ankle devices?!”
In the face of everyone’s anger, Qiu Tong remained calm.
“It’s just an explosive device, I can dismantle it. The more people there are, the more power we have. If we are no longer injured, there’s no need to fear those few guards anymore.”
With that, Qiu Tong locked her gaze on Kai En. “You claim that I cannot cure your injuries. Do you dare to try?”
“I…”
Before Kai En could say anything else, Qiu Tong walked toward him and raised her hand—
Rip!
She tore open Kai En’s shirt, exposing the wound in his abdomen. She pressed against his ribs. “Four broken ribs? I think they’re cracked.”
“Ow!!!”
Kai En howled in pain and swung his fist at Qiu Tong. “B*tch, I think you want to kill me!”
Qiu Tong easily caught his fist before tearing off a corner of his shirt. She rubbed the injured area with her hand before bandaging it.
“B*tch! Are you crazy? There’s no medicine. What’s the use of just bandaging my wound… eh?”
Kai En cried out. But a strange sensation at his injured area shut him up.
The original pain was replaced by a warm feeling. He was shocked and pressed his ribs in surprise. “Strange… it really doesn’t hurt anymore?”
Qiu Tong raised an eyebrow.
Kai En was overjoyed, while the other slaves were stunned.
Qiu Tong was very pleased with the slaves’ reaction. She waited for them to take the initiative and step forward, but to her surprise, a fierce light began to fill Kai En’s eyes.
“B*tch, I was injured last time and so didn’t beat you up. This time, I’ll let you know how powerful I am!”
