World System Among Gods novel Chapter 16

Halen and Dorgan have already finished their meal first. Due to being busy with the system, Ares is slow while finishing his food.

After eating, he invited Halen to leave the restaurant and continue their journey. Ares looked at the maid who had served him when he was on the first floor.

"Miss maid, do you know where the slave market is?" Ares asked.

"Of course, I know, sir. The slave market is in the north area of this city. You just have to walk straight and find a slave market there."

"Thank you," he said as he handed a platinum coin to the waiter, who he immediately greeted with a respectful gesture from the waiter.

As soon as he knows the location of the slave market, Ares immediately takes Halen to the market. I arrived at a place called the slave market. Ares and Halen are greeted by a man who is a guide at the slave market. The man immediately asks Ares’ intention.

“I want to buy all the slaves in this place,” he said straight to the point of his goal of visiting the slave market.

Suddenly the guide man looked at him with disbelief on his face; after all, the slave market had thousands of enslaved people and hundreds of the best-enslaved people, which in total, it would take at least more than a million gold coins to buy all the enslaved people in the slave market.

“Young master, do you want to buy all the slaves in this place?”

"Just say how much I have to pay, then I'll pay for it."

“Sir, I will calculate the cost. While I am calculating, you can wait in this place,” the guide man let Ares wait in the waiting room.

"If I may ask, who owns this place?" he asked before the guide man left to add up the entire cost of buying the enslaved people he had.

“Duke Alan is the owner of this place. If you want to meet the Duke, you should make an appointment; first, I will pass it on to the Duke.”

"That's not necessary. I was just curious."

The guide man then left him and Halen. Ares, who escaped with only Halen in such a quiet place, feels a little awkward, especially when he also feels that Dorgan is now asleep.

Halen, who occasionally saw Ares staring at her, only replied to his treatment with a sincere smile. Let's say a subordinate, but he doesn’t feel like a subordinate. Halen also feels something very familiar when she is with him.
