Chapter 799: Chapter 799: The Human Trafficker
Last night was bustling as the villagers kept toasting Peter Brown, and they were extremely respectful towards their new boss. After all, Peter was rich, and he was going to change the appearance of the mountain village.
Peter rarely loosened up and had drinks with everyone. He didn’t try to dissipate the alcohol afterward, but instead just went to sleep.
When Peter woke up, he found it amusing, as it had been a long time since he had slept so deeply.
Whoa!
Upon waking up, Peter found himself different. Surveying his internal state, he was surprised to discover that he was already in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Peter’s cultivation had always been at a bottleneck, and he had planned to use Elixirs to boost his cultivation. To his surprise, he had unwittingly entered the middle stage of Foundation Establishment today.
After thinking it through in bed, Peter had an epiphany: the path of cultivation doesn’t depend solely on taking elixirs, but more importantly, on comprehension. Yesterday, he had completely relaxed his mood, which brought him closer to the Great Dao and thus improved his cultivation.
After realizing this, Peter felt the importance of worldly cultivation even more. His previous practice of refining the heart had to be continued, as the higher one’s cultivation, the more important it was.
Pleasantly, Peter pulled back the grass curtain and went out.
When he came out, the eyes of the Harrison sisters were fixed on him, as if they had been waiting for him all along.
"You’re up so early?" Peter blushed a little, feeling embarrassed to get up so late in someone else’s house.
After chatting with Peter for a while, Meredith went to help Peter cook noodles.
Of course, the noodles were brought by Peter himself.
After washing up, Meredith brought out a big bowl of noodles topped with a fried chicken egg.
"Have you all eaten?" Peter asked.
The two women exchanged glances and then smiled at Peter.
Considering their family’s impoverished state, Peter guessed they hadn’t had breakfast. He insisted on making three more big bowls of noodles, with fried eggs as well, and only ate after watching the sisters eat.
When Lea Collins was invited by Peter to eat the noodles, she hesitated and said, "Those are your things."
Peter replied, "Since I live here, we’re a family. How can we separate things so clearly? Just listen to me and eat."
Listening to Peter’s words and looking at the big bowl of noodles in front of her, an array of emotions appeared in the faces of the three women.
For them, Peter’s insistence on eating the noodles together was a warm and caring gesture, one they hadn’t experienced in a long time.
Lea even felt her eyes getting moist.
Glancing at the three women, Peter starts devouring his noodles.
At first, the women ate slowly, but they soon began feasting as well.
After finishing, Peter brewed a cup of Spiritual Tea and sat in the courtyard, looking at the distant scenery. As he admired the view, he felt his soul relaxing once more.
Just as Peter was immersed in this wonderful atmosphere, suddenly a voice came from outside the courtyard. He looked at the newcomers and saw a woman from the village, accompanied by a middle-aged man and two young people.
"Mrs. Harrison, great news!"
The woman from the village loudly congratulated Lea.
"Mrs. Richardson, what’s the matter?"
"I’m telling you, Mrs. Harrison, it’s truly time to congratulate you. Although Meredith is pretty, no one in the village would marry her. Now, Boss Abel Harris from County Town is interested in taking her as his wife! Boss Harris says that once she’s in their family, she’ll be the mistress of the house."
"Abel Harris!"
To everyone’s surprise, Lea Collins suddenly yelled.
Seeing Lea, the middle-aged man hesitates and asks the woman, "Is it their family?"
"Yes, Boss Harris. I’m telling you, Meredith here is beautiful. I guarantee you’ll like her at first sight."
Unexpectedly, Lea Collins suddenly grabbed a hoe and attacked Abel Harris.
Peter was shocked, as he hadn’t expected such a situation to unfold.
"You stinky woman, you dare hit me!"
Before Abel could speak, a young man beside him lunged at Lea Collins.
Peter’s gaze sharpened. He noticed that the two young men accompanying Abel were actually martial artists, with ruthless moves. If one of their punches hit Lea, she would need to rest for quite some time.
Naturally, Peter wouldn’t let them succeed. With a flick of his finger, the young man’s leg went numb, and he collapsed to his knees.
Lea, however, ignored the young man and desperately lunged at Abel Harris.
What’s going on here?
Peter really didn’t know what was happening.
"Lea Collins, you stinking woman! If you don’t want to live, fine. Believe it or not, I can force your two daughters into prostitution!"
Abel’s words were highly threatening. Hearing this, Lea froze on the spot, and the hoe in her hand fell to the ground.
Laughing, Abel Harris said, "You know how powerful I am, don’t you? If you know what’s good for you, you’ll obey me. Maybe I’ll find your daughters good husbands, but if you cross me, there’s nothing I won’t do."
"You dare! I’ll fight you to the death!"
As Lea spoke, she hugged her two daughters with one arm each.
Peter could tell that Lea was truly afraid of Abel Harris.
Where on earth did this guy come from?!
Peter’s enjoyable mood was disrupted, and he was irritated. Were there really people on this earth that he couldn’t deal with?
Abel Harris became even more arrogant. "Lea Collins, I gave you a bargain when I sold you off back then. At least you can bear children, and your daughters are indeed lovely. Fine, since you were once my woman, I’ll take them as my own and spare you from your miserable life. Even though you’ve aged, you can still clean up and look decent if you take care of yourself, hehe."
Peter was astonished. He never thought there would be such a person!
