My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 338

Chapter 338: The Mermaid Princess Who Was Caught Twice

“Young Master Watson, let me massage your legs.”

“Young Master, do you want to eat?”

Watson was inside a manor. There was a huge magic crystal in front of him, playing pictures of scantily-clad beauties with information attached to them. Two tall and scantily-clad elves sat with him. They were talking to him eagerly and leaning against him.

That scene made him very uncomfortable.

“Watson, you don’t need to feel so cautious here. This is the wealthy’s money-squandering den in the floating city. The women are first-class, and they are very discreet. No matter what you do here, no one outside will know, so you can rest assured and enjoy it.”

Casey hugged a scantily-clad woman with one arm, and his large hands wantonly swam around her body, allowing the other women to feed him red wine.

He wanted to rope Watson in. To him, there were only two ways to rope Watson into that world—money and beautiful women.

Watson looked like he was 12 or 13 years old, and he was still a child. However, Watson was very strong and did not look like an ordinary child at all. In addition, Casey had already toyed with more than ten girls at that age; therefore, he planned to use his beauty to test Watson first.

When he entered the room, Watson had been unmoved by the many beautiful women surrounding him. On the contrary, the beautiful women around him were leaning on him. They seemed to like Watson’s young and strong body very much. That scene made Casey a little jealous.

“It looks like this is Watson’s first time coming to a place like this. It’s no wonder. As Master Antonio’s disciple, he must have been cultivating all the time and rarely had time to come into contact with other things! It’s inevitable for a man to be unable to let go when facing such a situation for the first time. Just give him some alcohol!”

Casey raised his wine glass to Watson. “Watson, a toast to you! Let’s resolve the conflict between us.”

Watson raised his wine glass and took a sip. Pushing aside the few women around him, he stood up. “Young Master Casey, I don’t think there’s anything fun here. I’d better head on to Ptolemy Manor.”

He had been observing the entire journey. It seemed that Casey wanted to apologize to him. Since that was the case, he should threaten to leave. If Casey wanted to do something, it would be the right time to do it.

“Don’t be anxious, Watson. The real fun isn’t here yet.”

Casey clapped his hands, and the door opened. A row of women filed into the room. Those women included humans, elves, and sea folks. They were all wearing exquisite long dresses. They were the same as the beautiful women who had just appeared on the giant magic crystal. However, chains were hanging around the necks of those girls, and the chains extended to their arms and ankles.

“Young Master Casey, this is the latest batch of slaves in the tavern. Each one is of high quality, and the lowest price is one thousand gold coins per person. See if you and your friend have taken a fancy to any of them?”

Following the girls into the room was the tavern’s lady boss. She smiled and pointed at the girls present.

“I’ll take those two.”

Casey randomly selected two and walked in front of Watson, “Watson, which one do you want? I’ll pay for it for you. These girls are orphans who have been exiled to Watergate City. They are either illegal immigrants from other countries or the descendants of prisoners who have been defeated in the war. If we don’t buy them, they won’t be able to live on.”

Watson had no interest in buying slaves. He raised his head and looked at the girls in front of him. Suddenly, one of the mermaids attracted his gaze. She had a light scar on her face, and her fair legs seemed to have just been transformed. She could only barely support her body. Her face was full of fear.

However, those were all magical disguises. There was a layer of magic on the girl’s body, making her appearance, not her actual appearance.

Watson’s strength naturally saw through the girl’s disguise at a glance. Under the girl’s appearance was the face of an adult sea creature. Upon seeing that face, Watson’s expression instantly changed because that face was not someone else’s; it was one of the mermaids he had let go of yesterday. While he was observing, the mermaid also looked at him. She was stunned, then turned her head away and continued to pretend to be weak and not look at him.

‘I had already let them go. Why would they appear here again and even deliberately put on a disguise?’

Watson was deep in thought when he suddenly thought of Alice’s face. His expression changed, and he extended his right hand to point at the mermaid who had put on a disguise before him. “Her, her and her. Forget it. I’ll buy all the slaves in that room.”

On the one hand, it was to conceal his true purpose of wanting that mermaid. On the other hand, he felt that those girls who were sold as slaves were too pitiful. He was unable to change the slave system in that world. The only thing he could do was to save those people in front of him.

Anyway, Casey had just said he would pay for it himself, so what was there to be afraid of?

“As expected of Master Antonio’s disciple, he is indeed forthright! I’ll have to trouble Young Master Casey to pay for it. There are 20 slaves here. I’ll count it as 1,000 gold coins for each of them. You’ll have to pay me 20,000 gold coins.”

“I didn’t bring so much money with me. Can I pay some of it later?” The corner of Casey’s mouth twitched. He glared at Watson with anger. No one would bring 20,000 gold coins with them when they went out, even if he was a young master.

He had planned to be polite with Watson. If Watson only took one or two slaves, he would have accepted it. However, Watson had chosen 20 people at once. Who would have thought that Watson would be able to handle 20 people at once? He was not afraid that his body would be exhausted.

While Casey was silently criticizing in his heart, he heard Elven say, “Young Master Casey, we are a small business. We don’t do business on credit. However, the Watergate Bank is just opposite the tavern. The Ptolemy family has saved quite a lot of money in there. You must have several hundred thousand gold coins to your name! You’ll only need to withdraw a portion, so paying is a piece of cake. Oh, right, I forgot to remind you. The tavern will hold an auction to auction some precious items. You might like some of it, so perhaps you should withdraw more money.”

While speaking, the tavern’s owner, Elven, used her hand to caress Casey’s body. Her tone was gentle with a hint of charm, and her voice made Casey’s body go numb. “Watson, wait here. I’ll be right back.” Then, Casey left the room with the two maids.

In an instant, only Watson, more than 20 female slaves, and the tavern owner were left in the room.

“Young Master Watson, I believe in Young Master Casey’s credibility. Since Young Master Casey bought those slaves and gave them to you, they are your property. Later, I’ll send someone to remove the chains around their necks.” As Elven spoke, she moved closer to Watson, but he reached out to stop her.

“There’s no need. I can open those chains myself.”

He snapped his fingers at those slaves. The chains on the necks of the slaves in front of Watson broke, including the chains on their shoulders and ankles. All the slaves were pleasantly surprised.

“Our chains are broken? It is a unique anti-magic chain. An ordinary gold-tier mage would not be able to open it. How did he do it?”

“No matter how he did it, he released us. Thank you, sir.”

Very quickly, some of the slaves reacted and knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Watson.

“As expected of Master Antonio’s disciple. I did not expect him to be able to grasp the ability to follow the law at such a young age.” Watson, on the other hand, clapped his hands as if it was a trivial matter. “Do you need anything else?”

“No, then I won’t disturb you for the time being.”

Then, Elven retreated.

Watson arranged for most of the slaves in the room to sit on the sofa. He pushed the red wine and pastries on the table in front of those people, indicating that they could enjoy them as they pleased. Then, he brought the mermaid to a room and closed the door.

Swish!

The moment he closed the door, Watson felt a chill from his neck. A sharp blade condensed from water elements was pressed against his neck. The water on the sharp blade kept flowing, and the splashing water shot a few holes in the wall.

“It’s not a good idea for an acquaintance to attack as soon as they meet.”

Watson turned his head slightly. When his neck touched the water-elemental blade, the blade had shattered. Before it touched Watson’s neck, the water had only touched the hair on his neck before it disappeared.

Watson turned his head and saw the mermaid behind him. At that moment, the mermaid touched the magical disguise on her face. Her legs had also become fishtail, and an illusory wave was dragging her along.

“Shameless scoundrel, you dare to claim to be an acquaintance of mine? Yesterday, your lie convinced me so easily, so Princess Alice was caught twice. Tell me, where did you take Princess Alice?”

The water sword in her hand was broken, and the mermaid could not swing her tail. A layer of water wall was between her and Watson, and the thick water wall pressed against a crack in the ground.

“Alice was captured again?”

Watson frowned, and a strange expression appeared on his face. Alice’s cute face appeared in his mind.

How could that little princess be so unlucky? She had just been released, and then she was captured again.

“Do you dare say that the matter has nothing to do with you?”

“You just released us, but before we could escape from the floating city, a group of mysterious people in black clothes appeared. They had a special anti-magic large net, and they used that to capture the princess and us. Then they brought us here!” the mermaid snarled.

She felt that she had been deceived. Watson must have been working with those people. Rescuing them from Casey’s ship was just a pretense so that they would lower their guard. She would not be fooled again.
