The sudden sound startled the bearded man, and only then did he see that there was someone behind Joel.

The man was wearing a black and gold cloak, and his entire figure was completely hidden in the cloak, making his presence extremely low.

This man had the same body shape as Joel, but he had not noticed his presence at all. The bearded man subconsciously felt that this was a tricky character.

Seeing the bearded man's frightened expression, Jurgen stretched out his slender fingers and gently took off the hood. Under his short blue-black hair, a pair of light brown eyes were filled with a faint smile.

Looking at Jurgen's slightly childish face, he couldn't help but sneer, "Why are both team leaders children? Where are your adults?"

Jurgen never took the contempt in the bearded man's eyes seriously. Strength would prove everything, and he would pay the price for his contempt.

He was still smiling, and a dagger appeared in his hand.

"I'm good enough to deal with scum like you."

When the bearded man saw Jurgen swinging his hand as if to throw the dagger at him, he subconsciously closed his eyes and even instinctively shrank back. The dagger that he had expected did not fall on him.

He waited for a while, but still felt no pain, so he opened his eyes. He originally wanted to laugh at the child's poor aim, but he didn't expect that the dagger was still flying at the boy's fingertips with the faint moonlight.

He first felt angry at being fooled, and then felt a sense of fear. Is a child who can play with a dagger like this still a normal person?

Seeing the fear in the bearded man's eyes, Jurgen's smile became even more obvious. "Didn't you say you needed a backer? Can't you hear what I'm saying?"

As his tone became harsher, the dagger that the bearded man had expected to fall on him pierced his thigh.

"what!"

"You can still talk, where did they all go?"

The bearded man was in so much pain that he wanted to roll on the ground. The guy put medicine on the dagger. Besides the pain caused by the dagger, the flesh on his legs felt like needles the moment the medicine took effect.

Joel was not idle either. While Jurgen was playing with the dagger, he went into the house to check.

"I guess he ran away. I don't know where he is now."

Joel felt a little relieved when he saw the clothes Tia was wearing this morning still scattered in the house. If she had been sold, the clothes would not be thrown on the ground so casually.

At this time, the group of people who were sent out to look for people came back. Seeing the uninvited guests in the yard, they raised their fists and started beating them.

The people brought by Jurgen were no pushovers and quickly subdued the group.

The noise in the yard woke up the people sleeping in the carriage. Tia woke up naturally, and when she sensed the scent of lime nearby, she called out in her heart.

"Lime! Where are you? I'm in the carriage!"

Qing Ning, who sensed the presence of her master but couldn't find anyone nearby, only then noticed the carriage beside her.

"Master, I will rescue you now!" Qing Ning said as he was about to grow bigger and open the back door of the carriage.

"Don't open it yet, is my brother here?"

There are too many children in the car, so it’s better for as few people as possible to know that I have a spirit pet.

"I'm here. I'm dealing with those bad guys in the yard now." Although Qing Ning didn't know why Tia was not in a hurry to come out, she still didn't open the car door.

"Okay, hide on my brother first and don't let these people see you. I'll be out soon."

When Tia heard that Joel was coming, she was completely relieved.

at last……

Feeling Tia's sudden relief, Syrio looked up at Tia sharply, then quickly lowered his head.

I was a little nervous when I heard about the fight just now, why did I suddenly feel relieved?

Syrio's movements were quick, but Tia still saw them.

"Someone should be here to rescue us. Let's go out."

Tia opened the door and got out of the carriage. She almost fell to the ground because she had been curling up her legs. Fortunately, Syrio was quick to catch her.

"Be careful when you come down here."

The children on the carriage came down one after another and supported each other. Even if some of them did not have weak legs due to staying in one position for a long time, many of them still had no strength after such a large amount of exercise and eating only two slices of black bread.

"You wait here first, I'll bring people over." After saying that, Tia rushed into the yard like a young swallow returning to the forest.

When Joel saw the little one running in from the door, he excitedly went up to him and picked him up.

"Are you okay?"

Tia was about to say it was okay, but when she looked at the bearded man in the middle of the yard, she suddenly changed her mind.

"Something's wrong! It's a really big deal! This guy is so mean! He didn't give me any food, and he whipped us when we didn't obey after running through the woods. Although he didn't hit me, the whip landed near my feet, and the stones scratched my legs and it hurt! He also didn't give us any water and ate a big meal in front of us. And..."

Tia was about to say that these people were making dirty jokes about her, but then she thought that people of her age would not understand such things.

"And what happened?" When Joel thought about the tiny child in his arms having to endure all this, he wished he could make these people experience twice as much as Tia had gone through.

"Besides... they all said that I was snobbish and loved the rich, and that I should be grateful to them for selling me to the nobility!"

No parent has ever heard human traffickers say that the children should thank them for selling them.

The flames of Joel's anger suddenly rose, "How do you want to punish him?"

"Let's sell him in the slave market." Tia thought about it. It was unrealistic to ask him to release the abducted children. Besides, Joel probably wanted to wait until she had punished him before he continued to punish them. He asked for her opinion now just to let her vent her anger.

With this guy's arrogant attitude, my brother will definitely investigate who is behind this. It would be better to hang him in the slave market, let him suffer for two days, and then see who redeems him.

The bearded man never expected that Tia was not a child from a poor family who despised the poor and loved the rich, but a real aristocrat.

No, it's just that some noble's clothes have faded a little.

The skinny monkey watched all this and knew that it was because of the little girl in front of him that so many people came to arrest them. He wanted to blame the bearded man but knew that scolding him would be useless.

But...did they really just hang them in the slave market?

When Joel felt that Green Lemon had returned, Jurgen had pulled out the dagger from the bearded man's leg. Although the pain was not as severe, he was still bleeding.

Can we really let these two kids go so easily?
