Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Maggie Parker’s Request

Ah, finally, I have my own space!

Looking at the people who had already disappeared from the room, Peter Brown’s mood was quite good.

Now that everyone is no longer crowded in here to protect him, they have all returned to their respective rooms.

Ever since he saw that he had the ability to defend himself, the people who were guarding Peter Brown closely all left one by one, returning to their own rooms.

It makes sense that everyone would feel uncomfortable staying here together. As long as Peter has defensive capabilities, the enemy wouldn’t be able to target him right away, and everyone would have time to come and help. So there’s no need for close bodyguards.

"Sir, the room has been cleaned up again."

Maggie Parker had returned. After Adonis Harrison and the others arrived, she had been told to stay in another room. Now that everyone had left, Maggie had come back to be with Peter.

Seeing this diligent beauty, Peter thought about learning a foreign language and smiled at Maggie, "Thanks for your hard work. Sit down and take a break."

Maggie could actually speak Chinese, which made Peter even more curious about her; learning Chinese in a country like this must be quite difficult, right?

"Not hard at all, I’m not tired."

Maggie’s face was radiant when she smiled.

Peter had long noticed that this beauty had a murderous aura about her, most likely a special female soldier from the military. He was truly curious about her.

"Maggie, where did you learn Chinese?"

"Actually, I am half Hua-Chinese. My mother is Hua-Chinese."

Upon hearing Maggie’s explanation, Peter thought to himself: No wonder she looks so much like Hua-Chinese people –turns out she’s half Hua-Chinese.

At this point, Peter became even more curious and asked, "How did your mother end up in the Eastern Kingdom?"

Hearing this question, Maggie’s face showed a complex expression. However, this girl was quite agreeable and laughed, "That’s a long story."

Peter chuckled, "I happen to have nothing to do right now. Come on, let’s sit down and talk. It’s rare to meet someone from the same hometown."

Maggie smiled and sat down.

Through his conversation with Maggie, Peter learned about her family situation. Maggie’s father was a businessman. However, he was just an ordinary businessman. Despite that, he had seven wives.

When Peter heard that Maggie’s father had seven wives, he was initially shocked and looked at Maggie in surprise.

Later, through Maggie’s explanation, Peter came to understand that in the Eastern Kingdom, due to the ongoing wars, the death rate for men was extremely high, leading to a severe imbalance between men and women. Therefore, it wasn’t particularly unusual for a man who could make a living to have several wives.

Sigh!

Hearing about this, Peter couldn’t help but secretly envy the men in this place, thinking how fortunate they were.

"How did your mother marry your father?"

Maggie explained, "The Eastern Kingdom used to be very rich. My mother was a Chinese postgraduate student and naturally wanted a better living environment. It just so happened that my father went to Hua Nation for business, and my mother became an interpreter. One thing led to another, and they fell in love. My father never mentioned that he had wives in the Eastern Kingdom before, so he brought my mother here."

As she spoke, Maggie’s expression became more complex, and she sighed, "Only after arriving did my mother realize that my father already had three wives. When she wanted to leave, my father had already taken control of her. Our village was full of my father’s family members, and my mother couldn’t escape even if she wanted to. Since she was already pregnant with me, she eventually resigned herself to her fate."

This was the story of a Chinese female postgraduate student pursuing a better life!

"Did you learn Chinese from your mother?"

Nodding, Maggie replied, "My mother taught me Chinese since I was little, and told me many stories about Hua Nation."

"Your mother must wish to return to her homeland, right?"

"Yes, in our home, she has no status at all, and even if she wants to leave, she can’t."

A more complex expression appeared on Maggie’s face as she looked at Peter and said, "I know Mr. Wang is a capable man. Can you help my mother?"

Peter looked at Maggie in surprise and asked, "Why are you asking me for help? Do you know that by doing this, you will offend your father?"

Maggie’s expression became even more complicated, "In our village, women have no status at all. If it weren’t for my mother teaching me and my accidental entry into the military, I would have become just another woman to some man, and I would have ended up living a lonely life just like my mother. That’s not what I want."

With that, Maggie suddenly knelt down in front of Peter and said, "Mr. Wang, Prince Christopher Carter and the others place great importance on you. I know you are a man of great power. Please help my mother and me. As long as we can get away from our current lives, I am willing to do anything for you."

Seeing the beautiful woman kneeling in front of him, Peter said, "Stand up first. I can help, but I’d like to understand the situation in more detail. Tell me about it."

Peter believed that if he asked for help, Prince Christopher Carter would not refuse his request. Thinking about the postgraduate student who was brought to a poor village in this place, Peter could only shake his head. She had wanted to live a heavenly life but ended up in hell. That must have been something she never expected, right?

"Have you never thought about the fact that once you leave, you won’t see your father again?" Seeing Maggie sitting down, Peter asked again.

"Now, he is a complete wreck, always taking drugs and abusing women. He has more than twenty children, and if I hadn’t joined the military and become one of the strongest female soldiers, he probably would have sold me off to someone else for a small amount of money."

Peter looked at Maggie and asked, "Are your skills good?"

Maggie replied proudly, "Of course! I am one of the elite female soldiers under Prince Carter. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent me to serve you. I have a protective task."

Impressive!

Peter was full of respect for such a strong-willed girl. She was an amazing woman. Of course, most importantly, this beautiful woman did not hide her situation from Peter, for which he secretly nodded in approval.

"Alright, I’ll help with this."

Peter decided to help the mother and daughter. After all, they were Hua-Chinese people, and helping them return to their country was a good thing.

"Really?" Maggie’s eyes widened in surprise, as she hadn’t expected Peter to agree. She hadn’t held much hope for this, so when Peter agreed, she was dumbfounded.

"I’ll visit your village when I have time to check the situation." Now that Peter had succeeded in his Skin Refining, he wasn’t overly concerned anymore.
