Shatuo asked Long Xiangtian cautiously, "Master, is it okay for you to do this?" Although Shatuo felt very happy to beat the arrogant housekeeper half to death with one punch, he was also afraid that someone from the Zhang family would come to ask for an explanation. By then, even if Long Xiangtian was very powerful, it would not be enough.
After hearing what Shatuo said, Long Xiangtian asked curiously, "Where is Li Xi? Didn't he tell you who bought the restaurant for me?"
"Boss Li is out, but he really didn't tell me anything." Shatuo was slightly stunned, thinking, is there some big shot behind Long Xiangtian? If that's the case, today's matter will be much simpler. Thinking carefully, Long Xiangtian was able to buy such a big restaurant, so he must have some background.
Long Xiangtian thought about it carefully and figured out why Li Xi didn't tell Shatuo about his specialness. Li Xi probably felt that Shatuo was his own and must know his identity.
"You don't need to be patient if you encounter this kind of thing again." Long Xiangtian turned to Shatuo and said proudly, "You must remember that you are my man, Long Xiangtian. Let alone some of the parasites in the Zhang family, even if they are the king of heaven, if they dare to hit you in the face, you will have to hit them back."
After hearing what Long Xiangtian said, Shatuo was suddenly stunned. He did not expect that Long Xiangtian would have such a heroic and even arrogant aura. But for some reason, Shatuo felt that he did not have the slightest doubt about Long Xiangtian's words in his heart.
"Where is your fearless spirit as a horse thief? Have you fed it to the dogs?" Long Xiangtian cursed Shatuo and then said to Shatuo: "By the way, do you have any brothers you can trust? Cultivation is not important, the most important thing is trust."
Long Xiangtian also wanted to create an organization like Huage before. Now that he has a restaurant, it is still not enough to endure. After all, Shatuo is the only person in the restaurant that Long Xiangtian can trust.
When Shatuo heard the first half of Long Xiangtian's words humiliating him, he felt a little embarrassed. Even a rough man in his twenties like him rarely felt ashamed. But after hearing the second half of Long Xiangtian's words, he instantly understood that Long Xiangtian must be short of manpower and wanted to ask him for help.
However, Shatuo thought about it and said to Long Xiangtian in embarrassment: "Master, this... You know, I am just a horse thief, and I don't have many friends. Even if I did, you scared them away at the beginning. I guess I can't find them now."
Long Xiangtian was a little embarrassed after hearing Shatuo's words. If Shatuo hadn't said it, he would have forgotten about it. He must have killed many of Shatuo's men. Long Xiangtian quickly changed the subject, fearing that there would be some rift between him and Shatuo: "Do you know where I can find some loyal people?"
Shatuo obviously noticed Long Xiangtian's embarrassed expression, and then said to Long Xiangtian nonchalantly: "Master, don't worry, I won't bear a grudge against you for this kind of thing. Although it's more comfortable to be with the horse thieves, it's also very tiring. Those horse thieves are not good people, and I don't have much of a good relationship with them."
In his heart, Shatuo gradually began to regard Long Xiangtian as his real master, instead of just being afraid of Long Xiangtian's strength as before.
When Long Xiangtian heard Shatuo's solemn promise, he smiled with satisfaction.
"That's right." Seeing that Long Xiangtian chose to believe him, Shatuo was touched and continued, "Master, if you are really short of manpower and don't trust ordinary people, you can go to the slave market."
"Slave market? What is that?" Long Xiangtian had never heard of such a thing as a slave market, and immediately became quite curious.
When Shatuo saw that Long Xiangtian didn't even know about the slave market, he was a little surprised. But then he thought, the young master had just returned from the mountains after learning skills, so it was normal for him not to know these dark sides. He patiently explained it to Long Xiangtian.
It turns out that this so-called slave market is a place where some organizations imprison the poor, criminals, and even practitioners, mark the prices, and sell them to outsiders.
After listening to this, Long Xiangtian felt a little disgusted with the slave market. He didn't like this kind of dirty trade very much. However, Long Xiangtian also knew that he couldn't change anything by his own strength. After all, there is a market only when there is demand. This kind of thing is probably not abnormal for people in places like the Outer Realm.
In this sense, the outside world is much worse than the Tenglong Empire. After all, at least Long Xiangtian has never seen anyone in the Tenglong Empire who dares to sell people as goods at a fixed price.
"Aren't they afraid that these slaves will run away?" What made Long Xiangtian even more curious was that, according to Shatuo, there were actually quite a few masters in the Xuan realm being sold as commodities in this slave market. This made Long Xiangtian very curious about the way the slave market managed these slaves.
"Although I have never been involved in this kind of business, I also know a little about it. I heard that they store a trace of a person's soul power in a piece of spiritual jade, and those slaves must listen to the person holding the spiritual jade and cannot have any disloyalty, otherwise they will suffer the pain of thousands of ants gnawing at their bones." I don't know if he was scared by the thousands of ants gnawing at his bones, but there was even a hint of fear in his eyes.
In fact, what terrified Shatto was that he had witnessed with his own eyes a slave who had been abandoned by his master, screaming heart-wrenchingly and even biting his own flesh piece by piece, as if he felt no pain at all, until his flesh was torn into pieces and then he died.
Even a desperate criminal like Shato, who was used to seeing life and death, was frightened at the time and still shudders when he thinks about it now.
After hearing Shatuo's words, Long Xiangtian was quite surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a magic in the world that could extract the power of a person's soul without harming his life. Although Long Xiangtian could see from Shatuo's eyes how inhumane this method was, if he wanted to find some trustworthy men at the moment, this was the only way.
"Count the funds you have and go with me when you have time." Naturally, Long Xiangtian wanted things to be done as quickly as possible, but he didn't know how much money he had available, so he analyzed it to Shatuo.
However, he did not have much hope for the funds in Shatto's hands. After all, the money was not much, and Shatto had to ensure the normal operation of the hotel, so he could not take out all of it for Long Xiangtian to spend.
Although Shatuo also knew his situation, he still patted his chest and assured Long Xiangtian that he would handle the matter well.
