Female Novel
Chapter 979 A Chaotic Escape
On the street, there was a loud noise.
Within the tribes, a young slave was a sought-after commodity.
There were certainly more possibilities for a young slave than for an adult one.
Some nobles even bought young slaves and educated them to become a kind of maids and pageboys.
Of course, being young was already very lucky for a slave himself.
The average adult slaver, once bought by his master, would do things that no man, not even a beast,novelbin
could do.
As the convoy inched forward, more and more people flocked to it.
The crowd was very noisy.
Medea, who just entered a luxury store, heard the noise outside and went out of it with the female
guard full of curiosity.
“A young slave?!” As Medea saw the scene in the cage, her face, which had a horrible makeup, was
covered with a layer of frost, “They are…a pack of beasts!”
Those people…were in trouble!
The guard behind her got pale and looked sympathetically at the people inside the convoy of slaves.
As the daughter of the King of the Hun, Medea never detested the existence of the slaves, but she
definitely couldn’t accept the existence of young slaves.
That was clear even to the habitant of the Royal City.
That was precisely because of Medea’s disgust that the King of the Hun ordered that the young slaves
were strictly prohibited in the Royal City.
Anyway, twelve cities outside the Royal Palace were not included in the list.
Usually, during the traffic of slaves, young slaves only appeared in those twelve cities.
Medea also knew that the young slaves’ phenomenon was inevitable, therefore after the King of the
Hun ordered the Royal City to ban them, she didn’t further investigate that matter.
However, there were twelve cities beyond the Royal City.
When Medea finally stepped out the Royal City to have a walk, she bumped into the scene of the
young slaves’ convoy.
As Medea’s escort, the female guard knew very well what would happen next!
“The bad nature of the tribes made them create a situation where they could only exist outside the City,
while the natural instinct of the people inside the City already crushed the tribes.”
Medea stood there, her hands clenched into fists beneath her sleeves, and she said gnashing her
teeth, “Children have a future, but they are also malleable. Turning children into slaves is the stupidest
way to kill off all their possibilities to have a future, it’s simply short-sighted!”
As she finished speaking, the female guard had already gone to Medea’s side.
Medea squinted and lowered her voice, “Find a way to free those young slaves.”
“I will,” the female guard replied bowing her head.
The female guard then walked towards the crowd of onlookers on the street.
Medea was standing on the store’s doorway and had a sulky expression. Staring at all those children in
the cages who were about to freeze to death, her expression became even colder.
Even the shop owner, who wanted to go out to see the bustle, noticed something wrong on Medea’s
expression and stood to the door subconsciously.
“Huh?!” Suddenly, Medea gave a surprised voice.
Her eyes sparkled and she stared at the figure in the cage in front.
At that moment, Medea shivered and it was as if her heart missed a few beats.
During the snowstorm, the children in the front cage were clearly better off than those inside the other
two cages.
But Medea’s attention was caught by an adult figure sitting near the group of children.
That haggard, exhausted and chapped face, at the moment when Medea’s eyes were closed, looked
like a hammer that severely hit her eyes on.
“Is that really…him?” Medea couldn’t help but murmur, her heart was beating fast, her eyes shone, and
her whole body shivered incessantly.
All that time, she had been watching repeatedly the video about Jack sent by Timur before his death.
The foreign tribes, in the law of survival in the jungle, also created their greatest esteem for the strong.
It should be in their DNA, even if Medea was not an exception.
Moreover, Medea yearned day and night for Jack to come.
Even Jack, in his cage, looked very flustered. He even had bruises all over his body and his cheeks
were visible emaciated.
Anyway, the attentive gaze of Medea was able to recognize him!
That man in the cage was that one she yearned for a long time, and who made her unable to sleep at
night!
At that moment, there was a whooshing sound!
Amid the din, a loud whistle suddenly echoed.
Medea’s eyes shone and she saw the female guard, who was concealed in the crowd, shaking her
hands and throwing out a dart.
That female guard was handpicked by the King of the Hun for her, and her strength was remarkable.
The dart was thrown with such a speed that even the onlookers around the female guard didn’t notice
it.
Clank!
Amid the din, the dart directly hit the chains on the cage.
With a burst of sparks, the chains of the cage were broken on the spot and fell crash to the ground.
That unexpected scene made the people in the slaves convoy feel immerged into an excited state, as
that they didn’t even react.
But Jack, Amanda and the other children who were in the cage suddenly got sparkling eyes.
“Amanda, run!”
A boy got up and kicked the door open with a thud.
In a flash, he pulled Amanda and directly jumped off the prison van, and behind him, a group of
children also woke up and jumped off the prison van.
All hell broke loose!
Those hungry and cold children, as they saw the chance to survive at that time, fell to the ground one
by one, as they were full of force and escaped in all directions like beasts.
Jack’s eyes brightened too and, as he watched the children jumping out of the cage, he didn’t come
forward immediately but stayed behind.
“Brother, there’s still him, that man!”
Amanda, dragged along by the boy, looked back in panic at the cage where Jack was.
“Amanda, I’m trying to get you out of here, I don’t care about the others!”
The boy held Amanda tightly with his right hand, without stopping.
In a flash, the excited people who were in the slaves convoy finally reacted.
“Get them, get them!”
“It’s all money, it’s all money!”
“Get them, get them, damn it, why did the cage open all of a sudden?”
A group of people in the slaves’ convoy immediately mounted a horse to chase towards the children
who escaped one after another.
And that’s when…
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two darts broke the chains of the other two cages.
As the chains slipped, the children inside began to crowd frantically out of the cages.
Compared with Jack’s cage, the children in those two cages were more brutal when they tried to
escape.
The children who were strong and didn’t suffer too much from cold and hunger were simply pushing
aside those weaker ones and thrust out of the cages in a violent manner.
Such a squeeze made the situation even more chaotic.
A crowd of onlookers, children who ran, cried and screamed as well as the people of the slaves’
convoy running on the horse.
There were also some onlookers with bad intentions who wanted to take advantage of the chaos.
That place was in an uproar, the situation was a complete mess and the clamour got louder.
On the door of the shop, Medea had been observing Jack from beginning to end.
As far as she could see, Jack waited until all the children were out of the cages before finally getting
out of the van.
Seeing that scene, Medea’ eyes flickered, her heartbeats accelerated and the corners of her mouth
couldn’t help but showed an happy smile.
“This man…even in this kind of situation, where a quick step would be vital to flee for his life, gave
priority to the children and never gave up with his intention to protect the children…”
