nThe three slaves' eyes widened in shock. They were not expecting such a nice treatment from Wei Xi.

n

"But I want you to not say anything about the potion to anyone, understand?

" Wei Xi reminded the three slaves,

"If the Boss knows that I give you the healing potions, I will be scolded for sure,

" he said jokingly with a smile.

nHowever, the three slaves did not take that as a joke as the three nodded their heads vigorously. None of them were stupid enough to blabber about this to the others.

n

"Ah, I have one more here, so you can have one each,

" all of sudden a voice came from Wei Xi's back. Wei Xi startled as he turned around.

nLu An took out the same vial and placed it next to the two vials,

"Make sure to be useful in the next portal or I am going to break your leg with my hand,

" after saying that, the young boy headed to the house.

nLooking at Lu An's back, Wei Xie smiled, 'It seems we have the same way of thinking,' he thought to himself.

n

"Alright, take the potion and rest early! We are going to face a harder obstacle tomorrow,

" Wei Xi tapped the three people's shoulders before he headed to the house where he slept.

nThe slaves were getting back to redeem their second chance. They wanted a better place to live and also a better environment. However, His Boss was furious with these people that they abandoned him when the crisis arose. So he would never regard them as his people until they finished the slave contract.

nWei Xi understood why Tang Shaoyang did so, but if the slaves were ignored or treated harshly like this, they were bound to riot again later on. He did not want this to happen, so he did this to help the slaves. He wanted the slave's group to regard the base of their home as well just like him.

nRather than isolating them, he would like to embrace the slaves. He wanted the slaves to regard the others as their family just like the Tarriors.

nIt was not that he did not agree with what Tang Shaoyang did but he felt that this action was necessary if they wanted the slave group to remain loyal after the contract was over.

nAfter all, everything did not need to be done by their Boss. He as the subordinate here to complete what his Boss lacked.

n*** ***

nMeanwhile, Tang Shaoyang was having an awkward meal instead of a celebration. Kang Xue brought her family with her forcefully, causing Kang Jiayi to be displeased. The old man was just staring at the food, he did not eat the food.

nHis wife, Mu Liqiu was completely different, she ate the steak on her plate. It was the Fogged Ape steak. Since this was her first time tasting the Fogged Ape meat, she could not help but devour the meat quickly but elegantly.

nHer son and her husband might throw tantrums since they were being forced to follow, but she did not care about that. She had heard everything from her daughter about what happened. Since the military was at the fault, she did not bother to console her husband.

nQuickly she finished the steak on her plate. Mu Liqiu wiped her lips and looked toward her husband's steak,

"You don't want the steak?

" She asked her husband. Kang Jiayi spoke no words, completely ignoring his wife.

n

"Since you don't want the steak, I will eat it for you. You should not have wasted the food!

" She pulled her husband's plate and ate his steak.

nKang Zian looked at his mother eating the steak greedily. He gulped mouthful saliva, he was tempted to eat the steak in front of him. He looked down at the steak, but then, a hand reached to his plate.

nKang Zian's eyes widened and looked up. Tang Shaoyang shamelessly pulled his plate away,

"What? Do you want the steak?

" Tang Shaoyang asked his brother-in-law. The latter gritted his teeth and looked away, he did not want to speak with Tang Shaoyang.

nTang Shaoyang shrugged his shoulder and pulled the plate toward him,

"Can I get half of it?

" Kang Xue asked for the steak.

nJust like that, they had their meal in a silent atmosphere. There was no other noise except for the noise of chewing the meat.

nTang Shaoyang was about to get up after he finished his meal, Kang Jiayi finally opened his mouth,

"Don't you think you should explain what you have done to my people?

" His voice was cold and his stern tone explained that he was not happy with what happened to the soldiers.

n

"Explain? What about you? You also owed me an explanation for stealing my stuff. What about your people who tried to kill me? Don't you think you owed me an explanation?

" Tang Shaoyang fired back with his deep voice,

"You should already know that my action is self-defense. Do you still need me to explain everything? The fact that none of the soldiers were killed is luck on your side,

"

nThe old man was about to say something but Tang Shaoyang spoke first,

"What if I don't have my power? What if I am just a powerless man with a little bit of strength? I will be a corpse with many holes right now!

"

nKang Jiayi did not have any words to refute that,

"But should not you talk it out…

" before he finished the words, Tang Shaoyang stood up from the table,

"Hah? I have tried to talk with you, but what is your response? Your friend even lusted my woman!

" He pulled Zhang Mengyao with him and left the dining room.

nKang Xue also stood up and said with a whisper to her family,

"I will talk about it with you guys later,

" she then followed Tang Shaoyang. She was going to persuade him to let her family join the empire.

nOf course, until the next morning, Kang Xue did not meet with her family to talk about her man who had another woman aside from her.

nThe next morning

nKang Jiayi, Mu Liqiu, and Kang Zian were getting woken up by the noise from the outside. The three washed up their faces and went out of the house. To their surprise, Tang Shaoyang's subordinates were lining up in order just like the soldiers.

n

"He's truly thinking about building an empire,

" looking at this, Kang Zian muttered in a low voice. Even Kang Jiayi was surprised by how disciplined these people were.

n

"What do they want to do?

" Mu Liqiu muttered in a low voice. She wondered what they wanted to do this early.

nKang Xue noticed that her mother had woken up. She excused herself to her man and approached her mother,

"Mother, let's follow me,

" she pulled her mother with her.

n

"Where do you want to take your mother?

" Kang Jiayi questioned his daughter,

"To the second portal, of course,

" Kang Xue replied honestly.

nThere was a hidden purpose as to why she wanted to bring her mother. To level up, that was her reason. Her mother had grown old and her body was in a state of deteriorating. She thought by leveling up might help to extend her lifespan as well as get her body stronger.

n

"Did you hit your head somewhere? Do you want to bring our mother to a dangerous place?

" Kang Zian could not understand his sister's train of thought. How could she think of bringing her old mother to the portal?

n

"The portal may be dangerous for you, but it is not dangerous for us!

" Kang Xue boldly declared that in front of her brother. She then looked toward her mother,

"Do you trust me, Mother?

"

nMu Liqiu looked at her husband, then looked toward the Tarriors, and then looked toward her daughter's man. With a single glance, she could feel that these people were more reliable than the soldiers.

n

"Good! I will follow you, but you must explain your relationship with your boyfriend?

" Mu Liqiu agreed to follow but with a condition.

n

"Yes, I will explain everything to you later,

" Kang Xue promised before she added,

"Also, we cleared the first portal, Us alone!

" She proudly told that to her father and her brother. After what happened yesterday, the girl had lost her faith in the military.

nWithout words, Kang Jiayi followed his wife. He wanted to know about the portal too, this might be his chance. Kang Zian was left with no choice but to follow his family. He did not want to be left behind alone.

nFive minutes later the portal appeared. The way the portal appeared was the same as the first portal. The same as yesterday, Tang Shaoyang and Zhang Mengyao were the first group to enter the portal. Twelve figures twisted and sucked into the portal.

nTang Shaoyang had experienced the portal so he was fine, but Kang Zian, Mu Liqiu, and Kang Jiayi were not fine, at all. The three felt nauseous since this was their first time.
