BXBX NOVEL Chapter 584
Hearing the details about Kevin was shocking enough. But to also know Kevin possibly knew Vincent was going to be the next person summoned to this world was mind-blowing. Not to mention how Kevin also possibly knew the book was going to work differently after his death.
Vincent and Kazumi started to consider if Kevin had an idea Vincent was going to be summoned before the usual hundred-year date difference.
This also sparked the question. Did Kevin have a child to leave Vincent a message? Or was the child a surprise to Kevin himself? It was a question Vincent and Kazumi desired to know.
While Vincent was starting to appear to be connected to the one person people call the curse upon the world, the four slaves looked at Vincent as if they didn’t mind what he was.
In their current state, death would feel like a blessing. The man who could be connected to someone dangerous could be their savior from their misery by a quick death.
Vincent wanted to ask the deer woman more, but their alone time soon came to an end. The slave trader opened the door and entered the room casually. His expression was calmer than before. As if he had a way to relieve some steam.
The slave trader stopped and looked surprised to see the deer woman submitting to Vincent. He smirked and commented, “My, my. I heard this slave kept resisting all the time. Seeing her submit without being officially your slave makes me think you are better at handling slaves than my subordinates.”
After the slave trader praised Vincent while watching the deer woman slowly stand up, he snapped his fingers. The shady man quickly entered the room with a black eye and his cheek red. Now it became clear why the slave trader wasn’t as angry anymore.
.....
The beaten shady man lowered his head and said apologetically, “I am sorry for acting badly in your presence. I hope we can have a better relationship the next time we meet. I will serve your lordship to my utmost capability.”
“Sure. I hope next time you and your men can treat the slaves better.” Vincent looked at the slave trader and continued, “How about I take a good look at the remaining two slaves.”
“Ten silver for the two of them.” The slave trader suddenly said.
Vincent and the others were taken by surprise. Even the slaves didn’t think the slave trader would suddenly decide to offer a low price, not after he had started with one gold coin for one person at the beginning.
Vincent looked at the two lizardfolk slaves and checked their status window. After reading the status window of the other three slaves, Vincent didn’t feel as horrified reading their status window as before.

Vincent and Kazumi became confused. The reason they were at this place was that Kazumi felt the mana act strangely around the female lizard woman, yet she was ordinary.
[Does that mean her child is going to be special? I can still feel the mana fluctuate around the lizard woman. I think the child is the one causing my Mana Sense to detect this strange occurrence.]
-You could be right, but this isn’t the time to think about such things. I think she might deliver her baby soon, and with her current condition, she might pass away.-
[Sorry. Curiosity took the best of me.]
[You are right, Vincent. We need to buy and take her home immediately and have the others stay with her in case she is going to deliver her child today.]
Jun Ye Rim heard Kazumi mention the lizard woman and the possibility of delivering her child soon. She leaned her head and whispered in Lilith’s ear, “Kazumi said the pregnant woman might have her child soon. Or even today.”
Lilith looked at the lizard woman, and a surge of willpower rushed into her body. *Gulp* “We will buy them for that price. Bring my husband, Baron Vince, their slave contracts promptly. We nobles do not have all day in this place.”
Vincent, Ester, Lupa, Kazumi, Iris, and Jun Ye Rim were surprised to hear Lilith speak so courageously. Yet they could hear the anger in her tone.
Lilith’s anger was giving her the willpower to speak freely and without reserve. The Lilith, who wasn’t suffering from anxiety and showing the authority of a noble, was in their presence.
The slave trader felt intimidated to hear the man in front of him was a Baron, and his Baroness was acting with authority all of a sudden. The slave trader didn’t want any trouble after he didn’t want to doubt if they were actually Barons or not and if their clothes were fake or authentic.
The slave trader respectfully bowed and went to his desk at the corner. “Baron and Baroness, please come here to fill in the documents and pay for the products.” He said with a greedy grin.
Vincent summoned a bag of coins. He opened it and spread thirty-three silver coins on the desk.
“Five silver coins for the orc. Eight silver coins for the mermaid. Ten silver coins for the beastman. And ten silver coins for the two lizardmen.” Vincent said while crossing his arms.
The slave trader didn’t appear to know much about quick counting nor trust Vincent had given the correct amount immediately. The slave trader grabbed one silver coin after the other and made stacks of five.
“All the coins are here. Now let’s finalize the purchase.” The slave trader gave five slave documents for Vincent to sign. Afterward, the slave trader stood up and went to the slaves. “Please drop a droplet of blood on the slave tattoo.”
“Remove their collars first. I don’t want to touch filthy metal with my noble blood.” Vincent said while he summoned a knife.
The shady man didn’t ask questions this time. He took out a master key and removed the metal collar of the five slaves’ necks.
Vincent drew blood from his finger and smeared his blood on the slave tattoo. The tattoo glowed for a few moments, indicating Vincent had become their new owner.
“Follow us outside. ” Vincent told the slaves. Vincent looked at the slave treader and continued, “We will be going now. Guide us out.”
“Most definitely, your lordship. My subordinate will take you through our VIP exit.” The slave trader said while glancing at the shady man to lead their customers in a satisfactory manner.
Vincent winked at Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Jun Ye Rim. “Let’s go, girls.” He said while trying to show an arrogant noble impression on the slave trader and the shady man.
The shady man left the room and guided everyone through a much more pleasant corridor. It took a few minutes to exit the building from a hard-to-find door and arrive at an empty street.
The shady man looked around and said, “I hope your lordship will visit us again.” He said before closing the door.
The air was chilly, and the slaves were already trembling. Additionally, they didn’t have the strength to walk back home from their current condition.
Now that no one was watching them, Vincent summoned a lot of clean fabrics. Additionally, he summoned a couple of small pieces of fabric to cover the feet of the two lizardmen as the orc hog, and the deer woman had their feet covered with fur. On the other hand, the mermaid didn’t have legs needing to be covered.
Ester, Iris, and Lilith helped cover the shivering thin clothed slaves quickly. However, the female lizard woman looked to be in a worse condition than before after stepping outside.
[Vincent, the mana is acting strangely now. If it is from the baby, then I think she might deliver sooner than walking home.]
“What? She is going to deliver soon?” Vincent questioned out loud.
The two lizardfolk looked at Vincent with a shocked expression. It was cold outside, and this wasn’t a good place to conceive a child. Not to mention the mother of the child was in a bad state. The two could not survive the ordeal of birth.
“Vincent, take her home quickly! Leave them to us. We will figure out something together.” Ester urged.
“Sister Ester is right. I want to see a little green baby. Leave everything thing to us.” Added Lupa
“I feel ashamed for not having necessary herbs on me. I can’t help, but the others in the mansion can with their experience.” Iris said with a sorrowful expression.
“Vincent, leave these people to us. Yula gave me a spare key to their home. We will slowly head there, so tell Sofy to pick us up after you arrive.” Lilith looked at the two lizardmen and continued, “We can’t let the father be apart from his family at this important moment.”
*Gulp* Jun Ye Rim looked at the two lizardmen and said, “I don’t feel the negative energy of a bad spirit attached to anyone around us. Now only fate can determine what happens next.”
[That is good news to hear. Let’s leave the four slaves to the girls while you speed run home with the female lizardman.]
