A Beta boy working part-time in another world

Chapter 17: Working as a Clerk in the Magical Plane (17)

He missed the time when everyone ran the store together and didn't understand why it turned out like this.

He also didn't believe that Qin Xiang was that kind of person.

But I don’t know when it started, the proprietress became more and more strange and suspicious, as if she had a different soul.

Suddenly, he stood up from his chair with a look of shock and disbelief on his face.

"System, is the boss lady being controlled by magic?"

System 702: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Ye Sui clenched his fist and put it to his mouth to bite, he was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.

If magic can control a person's mind, then it is very likely that the boss lady has taken the bait, which is why she did something so out of character in just a few months.

In the house, Latim hid behind the door and quietly watched the gentleman in the yard.

He knew that the gentleman must be worried about that matter.

But there was nothing they could do.

The next day, at dawn, the knights in the town marched into the forest in a mighty procession, startling the birds roosting in the forest and scaring away the big insects crawling under the trees.

The leading man took off his helmet, observed the terrain for a while, sent two knights to explore to the left, and went to the right with a team of men.

After walking for a few minutes, a path trampled by humans appeared in the forest. Bavi smiled, knowing that his guess was right. The man was hiding here.

The Knights surrounded the cabin.

Ye Sui glanced at the people outside the house, knowing that this day would come sooner or later. He comforted the frightened boy who was hiding behind him, pushed open the door and walked out.

The young man walked out into the sunshine, his jet-black hair like mysterious silk.

The breeze blew gently, and the hair passed between her eyebrows. When she looked at Bavi, it seemed as if she was smiling at him.

In fact, the boy had no expression on his face, and even the corners of his mouth did not move. It was all just Bavi's imagination.

"You left the bookstore without saying a word, and Miss Witch was very worried." Bavi smiled. The scar on his face made his smile a little hideous and full of aggressiveness.

He jumped off the horse, saluted as a gentleman to the young man, and extended his hand to invite him, "Mr. Ye, I'm sure you don't want to miss the wedding of the Witch Lady and Master Laurent."

"Do I have a choice?" Ye Sui sneered and looked back at the house. The timid boy was standing at the door, looking at him worriedly.

Ye Sui said to Bavi, "Can I take him with me?"

The knight in silver armor shook his head and gave the young man no room for negotiation.

"Please don't embarrass me, Mr. Ye. Let me be a polite knight. I don't want to use force against you."

Ye Sui's face darkened. He turned around and walked to Latim, touched the boy's fluffy hair, and looked into his sapphire eyes filled with tears.

He promised, "Latim, I'll come back for you, don't worry."

Latim held the boy's hand tightly, pursed his trembling lips, and tears were already welling up in his eyes.

He was an introverted child to begin with. At this moment, he had thousands of words to say to keep the other person, but he could only swallow them with gritted teeth.

In the end, Latim didn't even say a word of goodbye, and stared at Mr. Ye being taken away by the Knight Commander of the Syat family.

First week.

Latim, who had lived in the mountains for a long time, ran to a small town. From one person after another, he learned that the Syat family's grandest wedding had turned into a farce.

The youngest son of the Syat family, who was rumored to be a waste, actually killed his half-brother, who was the groom on the wedding day.

What's even more terrifying is that Laurent's bride was also killed during the wedding.

The whole Syat became a laughing stock among the nobles.

When Latim heard the news, he grabbed the guest who was drinking and asked, "Mr. Ye, have you heard any news about Mr. Ye?"

The tavern owner was annoyed by his noise and kicked him out of the tavern.

Latim was unable to sleep or eat, so he rented a carriage and drove to the capital overnight.

He didn't eat or drink on the way, and the coachman was almost scared by his desperate look.

Three days later, Latim finally arrived at the royal capital, but was captured by the soldiers of the Knights Templar and thrown into prison.

This stage takes several whole days.

The dungeon was dark and damp, with rats running around everywhere.

The meals given to the prisoners every day were all moldy and rotten food. In order to see his master alive, Latim gritted his teeth and finished every meal.

He numbed himself to the rotten taste in his mouth.

Finally, I don’t know what day it was.

The cell where he was held was finally opened, but not to take him out.

A man he knew but was unfamiliar to him walked in.

The man was dressed in luxurious attire, with gemstones on his sleeves and a cape with patterns representing magic and authority.

Without looking up, Latim could tell that the man in front of him was a magician.

“Are you Latim?” It was hard to tell whether the man’s tone was good or bad, but Latim could still sense the disgust in it.

He didn't dare to look up, but knelt straight on the ground and crawled on the ground, fearing that if he did something wrong, he would be accused of treason by this magician and be hanged on the gallows.

The handsome man lowered his head, his silver-white hair glowing fluorescently in the dungeon, his usual blue eyes emitting black mist, the emotions that had been suppressed for so long were isolated in the black mist.

"Where is he?"

Latim didn't understand and didn't dare to answer.

The man couldn't wait for his answer and continued to ask: "He disappeared. He must have gone to look for you. Tell me where he is and I will let you go!"

"I don't know sir, I don't know...who are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb!" The man could no longer control his exposed temper. He waved his wand and trapped the kneeling red-haired boy in a magic circle.

The invisible magic strangled the boy's neck, leaving a tightly wrapped mark on his skin and bleeding.

The boy was in so much pain that he couldn't struggle anymore and made painful sounds in his throat.

"Ye Sui, where is he!!!" Rex roared.

"Where did you hide him?"

It turned out that he was looking for Mr. Ye...

Before he fainted, Latim had a faint smile on his face.

He was glad that his master had not fallen into the hands of the Syat family, but he also felt a little sad that his master had not come to find him.

Will it never happen again in my lifetime?

Rex's eyes widened in shock, because the young man he was torturing just a moment ago disappeared right before his eyes.

He stood there like an idiot.

After coming to his senses, he ran around the room like a madman, yelling the boy's name and begging him not to leave.

"Ye Sui... I was wrong, don't leave, don't leave me alone..."

Rex knelt on the ground in pain and helplessness and confessed.

"I know I was wrong. I don't dare to kill that woman, but...she wants to harm you..."

Rex's confession did not get a response from the boy, but the answer he got was the system 611 he obtained.

System 611 said: "Host, congratulations on becoming the new owner of the Spacetime Bookstore. Like other hosts, you will have the right to travel to various time and space to sell books."

"You don't have any employees under your name right now. If necessary, please hire regular employees who have been certified by the system."
