Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 1047: Chapter 377: The Swordsman Legion and the Self-Delivered ‘Nobles’

The middle-aged man urgently said: "Lord, you cannot hand us over to the Earl. I think we can talk about this!"

"If you are willing to let us go, we are willing to pay you two million Crowns, which is the same price as the Earl’s bounty."

"There is no need for you to go all the way to Merlin City to deal with that troublesome Earl Winston. What do you think?"

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "No, your companion just threatened me, saying they’d make my territory restless."

"I’m a rather timid person, and I fear threats the most."

Upon hearing this, the other three cast reproachful glances at the woman.

The woman, now tied on the ground, also looked sullen.

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and said again: "How about this, we are willing to pay 3 million Crowns to compensate for my companion’s rudeness."

"This is much higher than the bounty you lead!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing squinted his eyes.

These swindlers are surprisingly wealthy.

However, considering they might have cheated many people before this, it’s not surprising.

Cao Xing asked: "Can you give it to me right now?"

The middle-aged man immediately replied: "Yes, right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized he had slipped up and his face changed drastically!

But Cao Xing started laughing.

He directly gave the order.

"Search them, take everything off them for me."

The soldiers, upon hearing this, immediately sprang into action.

On these three men and one woman, dozens of hands began to search continuously.

"Let go of me! Don’t touch me with your filthy hands!"

"Damn it! I am Oona, what right do you soldiers have to touch my body!"

The woman still tried to struggle, but was slapped into submission by one of the soldiers.

Items were being pulled off them one by one.

Belts, books, small money pouches.

All were worthless items.

Since Cao Xing’s order was to find everything on them.

The soldiers, without any hesitation, reached into the mature woman’s dress and started pulling off one item after another.

Exquisite lace lingerie, dainty panties, perfume, and so on.

The woman looked at the soldiers with a face full of humiliation, her eyes burning with anger and shame, glaring at them as if wishing to tear them to pieces with her gaze.

However, the soldiers’ expressions were indifferent, for to them, this was merely executing the order of their Lord.

And at this moment, a soldier suddenly found a leather backpack under the hem of her dress.

At the sight of that backpack, not only did the woman, but the three others’ expressions changed drastically at the same time!

"No! That’s my backpack!"

"Damn it, Oona quickly get it back!"

The woman immediately struggled to get up to grab the soldier.

However, the soldier simply kicked her away and then respectfully came to Cao Xing, presenting the backpack.

Cao Xing took it over.

[Obtained: Ice Feather Snow Owl Backpack (Purple)]

...

His eyes instantly lit up!

As expected, they indeed had items like a space backpack.

Moreover, it was a purple backpack, with 80 slots of space.

Opening the backpack out of curiosity.

When he saw it was packed full, with a large amount of Crowns, his smile grew even wider!

"Not bad, not bad, there’s actually so much good stuff."

Cao Xing’s face was full of appreciation.

And on the ground, after the backpack was snatched away, the four people’s faces turned ashen.

As if they had suffered a severe blow, they slumped to the ground.

The middle-aged man, clutching at a last sliver of hope, tentatively asked: "Lord, you’ve already taken all our possessions, can we leave now?"

But Cao Xing, upon hearing this, started laughing again.

"I will let you leave, but not right now."

"Take them to the dungeon, lock them up with those other captives."

He never said he would release them.

He planned to take some time soon to visit Merlin City, to redeem the Money Shop tickets in the backpack.

And conveniently hand these four over to the Earl to claim the bounty.

It’s like earning from both ends.
