Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire

The Biggest ‘Human Trafficker’

“Huff… Huff…”

In the alley, the man holding the roasted chicken was panting, but he did not dare to stop.

Bang!

While running, he bumped into a trash can in the alley and fell to the ground.

But soon, the man stood up again and picked up the oiled paper bag with a limp and glanced back with lingering fear.

With this glance, he could tell what was going on.

“Where are you going!”

A delicate shout came from behind. Before she could see anyone, her voice sounded like a ghost.

“Give me back my roast chicken, you thief!”

The man revealed a look of horror. He endured the twisting of his foot when he fell and ran forward desperately. Soon, he disappeared around the corner again.

Not long after he disappeared, an afterimage flashed in the alley. The afterimage flashed a few times and condensed into Leda in the middle.

“You can’t run away!”

A red dot appeared in Leda’s eyes. “As long as I see you again, you will never escape!”

With that, she turned into an afterimage again and chased after the man.

It was already very close. Next time, she would definitely be able to catch this man and take back her roasted chicken! The sourcᴇ of this content is NoᴠelFɪre.net

The man was still running. He kept running, crossing the streets and alleys. Even though his lungs were burning and his ankles were swollen, the pain made him want to stop and lie down immediately. As long as he lay down, he would not be in so much pain.

But he was still running. He didn’t dare to stop, he didn’t even dare to have that thought, because once he rested, he really couldn’t run anymore.

He looked down at the roasted chicken in his arms and continued forward.

“It’s close!”

“It’s close!!”

Red dots flashed in Leda’s eyes, flashing crazily in the streets and alleys. Her white hair and white cape matched her high speed, like a white ghost chasing mortals in the night.

If she had not been unable to lock onto that man at the first moment, she would have found him long ago instead of running around like a headless fly.

Her Kenbonshoku (Observation) has a wide range, but for ordinary people, it is not a problem to foresee danger, but they are not dangerous to you at all, so there is no danger.

“Chloe! Where is he!”

Leda cried out.

A figure flashed past from behind and a black shadow crawled forward like a beast, falling from a high place and jumping beside Leda.

They were now in a residential area. They were all magnificent houses on the second and third floors. They were no different from other places in the business district, but their auras were very mixed. There seemed to be people in these buildings, but they were unusually quiet.

Crowe sniffed and pointed in a direction. “The smell is coming from here.”

In that direction was a house.

“Is it there?!”

Leda’s body flashed and she quickly came to the front of the house. There was a loud bang and the door burst open the moment she appeared, revealing a mass of darkness inside.

“Give me back my roast chicken!!”

The moment the door was broken, Leda roared inside, bringing waves of sound waves that shook the house.

The darkness gradually dissipated.

The neon lights outside illuminated the situation of the houses inside.

Unlike the palatial surface of the house, although this house is clean, there is nothing in it. Some furniture that can be called ‘grass’ and a kerosene lamp on the table are everything in this living room.

In the living room, the man who stole her roasted chicken was sitting on the ground, next to the opened oiled paper bag. Around the man, a few children were surrounding him and wolfing down the roasted chicken.

These children looked very thin and weak. At this moment, they were kneeling. When they heard the noise, they looked up in panic and revealed their pale and malnourished faces.

This scene stunned Leda for a moment.

Bang!

Seeing that the door was kicked open, the man knelt down with his head and shouted, “Please let me go, I, I have no choice. My child is too hungry, I can only do this. I have no choice, please forgive me!”

As he spoke, he kept kowtowing to Leda.

“Daddy!”

The children rushed over and hugged the man tightly. They looked at Leda with fear.

Gugu—

The sound of the stomach came from the man’s stomach.

Leda thought about it and tilted her head. “Are you guys hungry?”

“Yes!”

The man did not look up and said, “I have been hungry for many days. I really can’t find anything to eat. I can only walk like this. If, if I have to punish someone, it has nothing to do with my child. I did it. Please catch me!”

“I see…” The girl’s voice sounded again.

The man closed his eyes and waited for the trial to come.

This little girl, after all, was wearing a Marine cloak. That was Marine. He was ready when he took the things.

He just didn’t expect it to come so soon.

Bang bang bang.

The sound of something falling to the ground sounded in front of him, and a voice sounded in front of him:

“What? If you’re hungry, just say it. I hate having my food stolen, but if someone who is hungry asks me for it, of course I will give it to them.”

The man looked up and saw the little Marine girl throwing all her bags on the ground.

“Here, you have to eat when you are hungry. Kuro gave it to me, eat it,” Leda said.

“This, this…” The man’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Can this really be done?”

Behind Leda, Crowe turned into his human form and walked over. “There’s nothing you can’t do. If Miss Leda wants you to eat, just eat. It’s just…”

He looked at the palatial surface of the house and then looked at the interior of the house. He frowned and said, “Why is it like this, Gran Tezolo, is there someone like you?”

‘Human traffickers?’

‘No, not like that.’

It was impossible for human traffickers to do such a thing.

The man did not answer first. Instead, he carefully opened the packages and confirmed that there was food inside. He distributed them to the children at the side. The children looked happy and wolfed down the food one by one.

The man also picked up a piece of bread. After swallowing it in two or three mouthfuls, his complexion improved a little.

“Because of the debt…”

The man lowered his head and looked down. “A few years ago, my family background was not bad. I brought my wife and child to Gran Tezolo to play, really just to play, but, but I inexplicably owed a debt. All the family property was sold, and it was not enough. In the end, I could only be detained here to work. My wife… my wife also died of illness because of long-term exhaustion. My children, my children are gone.”

As he spoke, he covered his face and tears flowed through his fingers.

“This is not a fun city at all. This is the land of demons. It was not until later that I learned the rules here — those who are deceived are losers.”

He forced himself to calm down and took a few breaths before letting go. He looked at the children who were eating with a hint of gentleness in his eyes.

“These children are adopted by me. Their situation is similar to mine, so I can’t die. I can’t die until I see them free.”

“I see…”

Crowe pushed up his glasses and looked up at the tallest golden building in the distance. “The biggest ‘human trafficker’ is there.”
