Chapter 38: Raise Your Head

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

Lugh removed the rag from her hand and said softly, “You’ve been bought by me. Come with me now.”

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pulled her through the colorful crowd.

The girl’s eyes were at a loss.

I… Can I be bought too?

The other female slaves were first surprised, then they looked at the girl with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

They could not believe that she, a female slave in gray, had the right to be bought?

Standing at the side Rexton’s sister was also puzzled.

Looking at Lugh holding the hand of the female slave in gray, her expression was complicated. She whispered to Rexton, “This friend of yours is a little different from the friends you have brought before…”

As the manager of the slave market she had seen so many people. There were those who were despicable and there were those who seemed noble.

No matter what kind of people they were, they all had one thing in common. It was that they never treated these slave girls as human beings. In their eyes, these slave girls were just a toy, a living thing. They never offered a price that was ten times higher than their value just to protect the self-esteem of the slave girls.

This person was extremely strange. He was so strange that he did not appear to be from the Simon Empire.

How could such a man exist in this world?

A complicated and indescribable emotion surged out of her heart.

Looking at his expression just now, he must have understood it very well.

She had originally thought that he had come here to have fun like the other young masters. Now she realized that he was just too lazy to explain.

Rexton smiled and said, “That’s right. Lugh is not an ordinary person. Why do you think he did this? A female slave in gray costs 100 gold coins. This money is enough to buy a female slave in purple.”

“You too…”

“You didn’t take this 1,000 gold coins unjustly.”

Rexton felt that Lugh had suffered a great loss.

The woman glared at him. “What do you know?”

At that moment, the girl in gray looked at the female slaves in colorful clothes. In her eyes, these female slaves were all high and mighty figures. She quickly lowered her head with envy in her eyes.

“Raise your head!”

Lugh’s voice was calm. “I bought you with 1,000 gold coins. You are much more noble than them. They are not as expensive as you…”

She did not understand the profound logic.

Therefore, she could only use the most direct words to express the value.

“1,000 gold coins?”

The girl’s face was dull. After a while, she said softly, “Master, you, you paid too much. I am not valuable. I am a gift… I am not worth 1,000 gold coins. No, I am not even worth a single gold coin.”

Hearing this, Lugh stopped.

He squatted down and looked at her. With a serious expression, he said, “If I sell you for a thousand gold coins, then you’re worth a thousand gold coins. You have to work very hard to prove that you’re worth it. I’m buying you for a thousand gold coins. Do you understand?”

“Yes!”

She nodded seriously. “I understand, master. I’ll work very hard to make myself worth this 1,000 gold coins.”

“Also, don’t call me master in the future. Call me young master, understand?”

“I understand, master… young master.”

Lugh stood up.

He pulled her up and said, “From now on, look up at them. Don’t be afraid. You are more expensive than them. They should be afraid of you, not the other way round!”

“Okay!”

The girl’s heart and body were trembling.

She firmly remembered what the young master had said. I’m more expensive than all of them. I’m better than all of them. I’m not afraid of them, I’m not afraid… Her gray clothes were soaked in sweat because of her nervousness, but her head had been frozen.

Slowly, she realized.

The people who were looking at her had actually lowered their heads.

An emotion that she could not describe surged out of her heart. She only felt that it was not a big deal to look up at them.

“Amazing!”

The woman sighed softly.

She turned to look at her useless younger brother and said softly, “Do you understand?”

“A little…”

“But it seems like I don’t understand anything.”

Rexton scratched his head.

The woman sighed helplessly.

Lugh held the girl’s hand and came to the high platform. He smiled and said to the woman, “Please help her clean up.”

“Of course,” the woman smiled and replied.

Her attitude now was completely different from before.

Lugh turned around and looked at the gray-clothed girl seriously. “Always remember one thing. In this world, other than me, no one is worthy of your fear, and no one is worthy of your respect. From today onwards, your name is Clare!”

“Do you understand?”

Clare nodded seriously. “I understand, young master!”

The girl was pulled by the manager but she turned around as she walked.

She was deeply afraid that Lugh would disappear in the next second.

She was even more afraid that everything that had just happened was just a dream.

Rexton said softly, “I really don’t understand you. Do you have to be so dedicated for a little girl?”

“It’s worth it!”

Lugh smiled and said, “Because I spent 1,000 gold coins to buy her.”

Rexton did not understand. What kind of logic was this. He was completely dumbfounded. She was just a maid dressed in gray. He really did not see anything special about her. Rexton did not understand.

Lugh was too lazy to explain.

This was a girl with dark purple luck. In the entire Simon Empire, other than Camia, this was the only girl he had seen with such strong luck.

And a slave girl!
