Richard was glad that he had his sunglasses on and these people couldn't catch the subtle expression on his face. Otherwise, they would know that he's making fun of them.Traffickers from other districts would sell kidnapped kids based on how wealthy the buyer presented himself. And here stood a young master, wearing an outfit that reached $5 million.Any sensible trafficker would see within the range of $100,000 and half a million dollars.Gerald nodded his head.“Fine, I'll take them. So do you have the supply?”The traffickers who were jumping for joy at finally cashing in big time, were silenced by this question before the old man spoke.“Um, actually….we don't have the goods ready…”Gerald kept up the act of a spoiled brat, snapping his fingers.“Someone, slap that fool for me.”Richard wasted no time. He rushed forward and used a controlled percentage of his strength to slap the old man, sending him to the ground. He then proceeded to ruthlessly kick him to the ground. In a di

As it turns out, the Lambert family secretly traffics humans, animals, and exotic plants across the continent and beyond that. And Red Alley Market is one of their suppliers, which in today's case, are those children.Child trafficking.Gerald clenched his fist at this revelation. “First, it's the Blanks family involved in loaning through illegal means. Now, there's the Lambert family, but they're much worse.”He gazed at his chauffeur with a look of disdain not meant for the guy, but for the mental image of the Kvert family in his mind.“What do they subject these trafficked humans and non-humans to?”Richard whipped out his tablet, which he often carries close to him in a bag.“From what the prime estate's Intelligence unit has sent to me, these trafficked humans and non-humans are sold to various organizations like red-light districts, streets in commercial areas, bars, clubs, hotels, and brothels. These places focus more on prostitution.”“Some are sent to become slaves in forei

Richard was looking down at his tablet as well, having received a copy of the satellite footage Kevin had retrieved for their young master.“My guess is that these are pioneer trees, artificially planted. Various types of Oak trees, Birch, Mesquite, and even Eastern Redcedar. These are hardy species that thrive in barren soils.”Kevin hummed as he recognized some of these trees in the footage to match the names that the chauffeur had called. “They must have been planted to camouflage their base. There's no doubt about it now. The amount of effort it requires to artificially build a forest. They wouldn't do that if they had nothing to hide.Gerald was taking in the words of his lead subordinates when he felt his senses slowly spike. He couldn't ignore the feeling at all, and for some reason, he could understand what this sixth sense was trying to make him aware of.Danger. There were eyes on them.Gerald looked to the side, out his raised tinted windshield to find a convoy of five va

Kevin placed a comforting hand on his partner's shoulder.“Hey, don't think like that. Even their backups won't be able to stop us. We're the AFSB Squad-9 bodyguards. They haven't even seen any of our weapons.”Gerald nodded his head at his head bodyguard. His gaze turned cold as he shifted his gaze to the child trafficking salespeople.“You're right. Now, let's get those children out of here. Take us straight to see these ‘products’. You've seen what just happened. I don't wish to remain in this market for too long.”The group of child trafficking salespeople reluctantly led Gerald and his entourage into a tunnel that was actually hidden from the surface. There, they showed him the children who were all bundled up and kept in cages. Some of these children and teenagers weren't in cages, but rather, were in chains tied to the walls.The sight was truly disturbing to Gerald and his fifteen bodyguards, but they kept their expressions in check.Gerald glanced at the miserable children.

The burly man was getting increasingly agitated, and he found that, no matter how clear a shot he took, he just couldn't seem to land a hit on any of these pompous-looking opponents that had humiliated him earlier.“I don't know, man! They tried to steal my purchase, and I had my men teach them not to fuck around with The Herder Bandit! Who would have fucking thought they were way tougher than they looked?!”Within the next few minutes, the AFSB Squad-9 bodyguards successfully formed the formation around the opponents, and with a signal from Kevin, they began eliminating them one by one.Kevin made the first shot. With an activated trigger, the laser beam shot right through the air with expectedly incredible speed. Before any of the thugs from The Herder Bandit could even pick up on the released beam of light, one of them was ready to hit.The laser beam shot right through the target's throat, burning a hole right through the esophagus, and the thing could only stare at nothing with
