Imperial Capital, late night, a certain manor.
"Quick! Quick! If you don't find my little sweetheart, I'll tear you all apart!!!"
A plump woman in her forties, full of fat, held a long whip and roared furiously at the manor guards below. The woman was wearing a gorgeous and revealing cheongsam, but it didn't give her any beauty, instead, it gave people a feeling of extreme disgust.
"Yes, Madam!"
The guards below all shivered. They wouldn't doubt the fat woman's words in the slightest. If they couldn't find that stinky boy, they would all be finished!
Guards would disappear from time to time in the manor. Although everyone didn't say anything, they all knew in their hearts, because before they disappeared, they were called into the Madam's little black room, and then they never came out again...
"Woo... Little sweetheart, why did you run away? Sister loves you so much!"
"You are really a disobedient child, if I catch you, I will definitely punish you severely!"
...
Listening to the woman's self-talk, the guards who hadn't gone far got goosebumps all over their bodies, and at the same time, they silently mourned for the younger brother who had just been sold here.
Of course, if they couldn't catch him back, the people who should mourn would be themselves!
…
"Damn it! Where is the exit?!"
Hiding under the small bridge in the manor, Tatsumi felt a burst of anxiety as he listened to the voices of the guards passing over his head.
He thought of the scene three days ago when that bastard named Carson brought him here, saying that he was now a lieutenant and had orders from his superior to come here to protect a noble lady.
Tatsumi, who grew up in the countryside, didn't know the ins and outs of this place. He just went along with whatever they said, and besides, with his ability, this kind of mission was easy!
However, what Tatsumi never expected was that this was a scam, a complete scam!!!
When he learned from the oily fat woman that he had been sold as her slave, Tatsumi almost fainted! His first reaction was to escape, but since he had already fallen into their bowl, how could he possibly escape!
He was caught and thrown into the fat woman's little black room. He cried out to heaven and earth, but no one answered. He was whipped every day and had to play perverted games with that twisted woman. If he hadn't been smart and sworn to resist to the death, he might have lost his chastity that he had preserved for over ten years...
Woo woo woo, thinking about it is all sadness, talking about it is all tears!!!
He didn't understand, he didn't understand at all. Tatsumi really wanted to stand up and roar at the sky – World, what's wrong with you?!!
With his teeth gnashing, the pure, kind, and sunny Tatsumi finally understood a truth through his blood and tears – the Imperial Capital is truly dark!!!
"Sora", "Leone", these two names were deeply etched in Tatsumi's soul. At this moment, how could he not understand that he had been sold by that female demon!
He remembered how she had sold him, and he had foolishly given her hard work fees and referral fees. Tatsumi felt like he could just bang his head against something and die.
Oh heaven, oh earth, why do such demons exist in this world!!! Why do fools like me exist in this world!!!
"Where is he! Quick, quick, don't let him escape!"
"Tatsumi, you can't escape, surrender quickly!"
"Yeah, yeah, Tatsumi, us brothers don't want to do this to you, but if we don't catch you, we're all finished. Are you really willing to harm all of us for yourself?"
"Tatsumi, we all know you're a good kid, you won't be willing to implicate everyone because of yourself, right? Come out quickly, don't resist..."
...
These manor guards had seen Tatsumi's ability. Although he was young, his skills were not to be underestimated. Although they had the advantage in numbers, it was not certain that they could take him down if he resisted to the death!
However, these guards were not good people either. They could all see that Tatsumi was a naive country bumpkin like a blank sheet of paper. It would naturally be best if they could trick him.
"Everyone, I... I..."
He crawled out from under the bridge, and in the moonlight, the boy's extremely disheveled figure was revealed.
He was extremely conflicted. As these people said, if he escaped, they would definitely be implicated. If they were punished by that perverted woman, it would all be his fault. The kind Tatsumi didn't want to harm others because of himself!
However, did he really have to give up resisting and let them take him back? What about "If I don't go to hell, who will"? Sacrificing the small self to achieve the greater self?
He had finally managed to escape while the fat woman wasn't paying attention. Tatsumi knew in his heart that if he was caught again this time, he might never have a chance to escape again!
On one side was life, on the other was death. On one side was morality and nobility, on the other was hope and freedom. What should he choose?!
Looking at Tatsumi's endless confusion, the guards' mouths curled into bloodthirsty and cruel arcs. They slowly surrounded Tatsumi step by step. This foolish boy was actually moved by their words, he was really stupid!
They were only a few steps away from tightening the encirclement and making it impossible for this foolish boy to escape. However, at this moment, Tatsumi, who had been bowing his head in endless confusion, suddenly raised his head. His clear blue eyes were as clear as ever, but at this moment, they were flashing with the sharpness of a sword!
"Well, Tatsumi, have you thought about it? Hahaha, we knew you were a kind and good child, don't worry, everyone will definitely be grateful to you in their hearts!"
A bad feeling arose in the heart of the guard captain. While smiling at Tatsumi, he secretly signaled to the other guards.
"Hehehe, grateful to me?"
With a cold, stern smile, Tatsumi continued:
"You are all cursing me as stupid in your hearts!"
"Liars, all of you are liars!"
"I finally understand, you are all just selfish people who would do anything for yourselves. Why should I talk about morality and kindness for you people who have nothing to do with me and are even thinking of harming me?"
"My companions are still waiting for me, everyone in the village is still waiting for me. I have many important people to protect. Why should I sacrifice myself because of you people?!"
He almost roared it out. At this moment, Tatsumi finally awakened!!!
Perhaps it's because he was the original protagonist with the aura of good fortune, he always grows rapidly in adversity. His experiences over the past few days finally made Tatsumi understand that the Imperial Capital is dark! This world is dark! Why should he offer his sincerity and kindness to these people who are also dark inside?
Let whoever wants to be a pushover be a pushover, he himself will never be one again!
He, Tatsumi, is a man who wants to save the village. How can he die here because of them!!!
"Hmph, finally understood, huh? Foolish boy."
"Everyone, let's go together, don't let him escape!"
Seeing Tatsumi awaken at the last moment, the guard captain's eyes flashed with a shadow of malice. He sneered and commanded his subordinates.
Watching the guards charging towards him, Tatsumi's eyes showed a determined glint. He clenched his fists and charged forward as well…
