A forest full of dense trees and a cave hidden among the tangled grass and trees.

It was damp, dark, and had traces of rough human construction.

Mu Hua was brought here by one of Kunna's men. There were some recently dead bodies lying all over the cave.

"Do you still want these?" Pointing at a corpse, Mu Hua asked the young man who was leading the way.

"No, we will find a place to bury them later." The young man replied.

The light shone on the corpse, and Mu Hua put the corpse into the Burning Source Furnace. As the dust cleared away, the young man who led the way took a few steps away from Mu Hua as if he was afraid.

This should be Vito's hiding place, and the dead should be Vito's men. Although they may be just thugs, they are dead now, and it would be a waste to bury them.

Mu Hua put them into the Burning Source Furnace. He didn't get any skill stones or Hundred Refinements Secret Stones, but he did get some soul fragments and philosopher's stones.

With the idea that even a small mosquito is still meat, Mu Hua cleaned up the corpses along the way, while the young man leading the way staggered further and further away from Mu Hua.

"Well, don't get me wrong, this is more respectful to the deceased than your careless disposal of the body."

Along the way, they also met some of Kunna's men. When they saw Mu Hua using the soul fire to deal with corpses, they looked at him with disdain more often, so Mu Hua couldn't help but explain.

"Yes, you are right." The young man agreed, but the look in his eyes, as if he was looking at something dirty, made Mu Hua want to beat him up.

He had no specific idea about the soul fire that Mu Hua threw out, but as a necromancer who was actively dealing with corpses, the young man didn't want to know the details of how those corpses were dealt with.

"Mu, you're here?" Seeing Mu Hua, Kunna greeted Mu Hua with a serious expression.

This is a cave prison. In addition to Kunna and her men, there are also forty or fifty timid humans.

These people were imprisoned in solitary confinement in cages, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.

"You called me back because of them? Are these the people smuggled by Vito?" His eyes swept across the cage. Ed and Dena were already lying dead. Mu Hua put their bodies into the Burning Source Furnace.

Obviously Vito should have been killed, and Kunna had no intention of recruiting Ed and Dena as his subordinates.

"It's not human smuggling, it's slave smuggling. Vito is a lunatic. These are well-trained slaves who can sign a slavery contract with anyone at any time." Kunna explained, and Mu Hua's heart tightened.

If it was just verbal slavery, it would be fine. The mental state of the people in these prisoners seemed to be relatively normal, but slaves who were able to sign a slavery contract were not something that could be trained casually.

Perhaps Mu Hua had not seen much of the world, but he had heard a lot of cruel and dark things.

There are about fifty people imprisoned here. If you want to train these fifty people, you must kill dozens or even dozens of times the number of them. Don't even expect to train slaves of this quality.

Can you brainwash a normal slave by turning on the electric therapy and talking? Oh, don't make a fuss...

Vito would occasionally show up in town, and he looked relatively normal. Mu Hua didn't think he had the ability to train such a slave.

However, even if it is smuggling, this kind of business is much worse than simply smuggling people.

"You said Vito was also trying to train slaves? He also killed some people? Where did he get so many people? Are there people from the town among them?" After a brief exchange with Kunna, Mu Hua asked with a frown.

"No, he was very cautious, and most of the people he imprisoned were from the courtyard."

“In some historic courtyards, wars also occurred between human forces.”

"Vito bought some refugees at a low price, and planned to train them into slaves and sell them at a high price. At the same time, he probably wanted to increase his own popularity among the underground forces." Kuna explained.

Courtyards have appeared in the human world for thousands of years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that some of the earlier courtyards have a long history.

Even if we leave aside the courtyards controlled by humans, in the long tug-of-war with monsters, humans will also establish city-state kingdoms in the monster courtyards.

There is no doubt that humans are aggressive.

The captives and refugees caused by war are inevitable. Although many human forces, and even most countries in the human world, will accept these refugees, illegal human trafficking is also unavoidable.

"Is this the first batch? Where is Vito's boss?" After looking at the 'finished slaves' in the cage for a while, Mu Hua asked Kunna.

Gangsters always have their own ways to make money, which is not only for making money, but also for their own label.

Vito must be planning to become a slave trader. If he builds a production and sales channel, he will inevitably get in touch with some powerful underground forces.

If that's the case, even if we get rid of him, it might cause some chaos in the town.

There wouldn't necessarily be any big trouble, but Mu Hua regarded the small town as his future home, and he didn't like those terrible things happening frequently in the town.

"The goods probably haven't been shipped yet. That bastard is a lunatic. He has to pay in full for the goods, and he doesn't have any suppliers. At least that's what he said before he died." Kunna's answer made Mu Hua's brows relax.

"Hehe, that means you got lucky. How are you going to deal with these people?" Mu Hua relaxed and smiled at Kunna.

"Vito doesn't know the seriousness of the matter. We dare not touch these slaves." Kunna shook her head and smiled bitterly.

“Most of the people here have families outside. Some have been deceived, some have been kidnapped. If we don’t kill them, it is necessary to let them reunite with their families.” Kunna lowered her voice.

"The other part were either sold by their families or have no families. I asked you here to ask you if you want to take them in." Kunna asked Mu Hua.

The training of slaves is inhumane. What's funny is that some people regard brainwashing and training as ability and accomplishment, but regard prostitution as something that is intolerable.

Regardless of whether it is the human world or the courtyard, using humans as objects of training is an act that will be resisted and rejected.

Some adventurer forces would even spontaneously carry out assassinations and elimination of slave traders, which is why Kunna said that Vito did not know the seriousness of the matter.

"What are you going to do if I don't take you in?" Mu Hua asked, understanding Kunna's meaning.

Unlike the ordinary people who were imprisoned and sold, these were all trained slaves. Although they looked like ordinary people, to some extent, they had been played with.

Even if you don't sign a slavery contract with them, they have very high obedience and loyalty.

Yes, these people cannot sign slavery contracts with them. Even if they can sign slavery contracts, these people who have been forcibly trained are also protected persecuted groups.

You can employ them, you can keep them as servants, but you can no longer treat them as slaves.

Otherwise, not only the Night Hunters will cause trouble for you, but also the Guards, Garrison, even the Witches, Vampires, and some adventurer groups will regard you as a villain who is trying to brush up their reputation.

"These people are more suitable to be trained as confidants. If you don't want them, I will ask Benson if he wants to hire them."

"As for those whose family members are still alive, you can contact the security team. Anyway, I absolutely cannot touch them, at least not before we have a certain influence." Kunna said to Mu Hua.

There were about twenty unrelated prisoners, both men and women, all under the age of thirty, and half of them looked underage.

The shackles on these people had been removed, but they still stayed obediently in the cages, and Kunna did not avoid talking to them.

Those who heard the conversation between Kunna and Mu Hua, including those who had families, all looked at Mu Hua with expectant eyes, which made Mu Hua shake his head.

They want a master. Training and brainwashing have distorted their values. Even without signing a contract, they still hope to have a master.

It will take a long time of psychological counseling to help these people return to normal life.

Mu Hua suspected that they had various sexual fetishes, and these people could even be trained as death warriors. Unfortunately, Mu Hua had no intention of training them for the time being.

"Will there be any trouble in contacting the security team?" Mu Hua asked Kunna while observing everyone. Although it was considered as saving people, Kunna and his group also killed a lot of people.

"There will be some trouble, but not serious. By the way, isn't there a wandering witch over at the hotel? Maybe we can leave it to her to handle." Kunna said thoughtfully.

"Tricia?" Kunna suddenly mentioned Tricia, which surprised Mu Hua. (End of this chapter)
