Chapter 31. Farewell Slaves

Benjamin ran through the crowd towards lord Duke. "Hey! Wait, You got the wrong guy"

" I am the real one" He kept shouting. "He didn't kill the wolf, I did"

Benjamin realized he made a huge mistake hiding from Lord Duke. He was the only chance to escape and if he managed to reach there fast he might stop them before they left.

Only if he got there on time.

" Hey, don't be greedy, that boy earned it and we won't allow you through." Few of the slaves blocked his path. People like him should learn their place. They hated to see someone being so jealous of someone else. So they blocked him. "We won't let you through," They said.

" Let me pass, I am the one that killed the wolf! Not that boy!" Benjamin shouted in a way that even the wolves heard and laughed.

"You?"

The guy Lord Duke picked was similar to Benjamin. His hair was brown, flawless, long and silky and their skin tone marched but Benjamin had a skinny appearance, his legs were extremely slim, his face looked lifeless and his features looked more like a loser.

"A loser like you can't even kill an ant, no wonder you are locked up here" One of the slaves spat out of disgust. They were all locked up though, but seeing such a skinny boy claiming to kill a wolf disgusted them.

Benjamin was losing it. He is a step close to his freedom and everyone is trying to block that. "You!, get out of my way" He was willing to do anything to achieve that. Benjamin charged forward and pushed through the two boys. Just as Benjamin was about to Lord Duke's, he vanished with the boy.

"Wait, am I the real one!" Benjamin's own words were silenced in the laughter from the crowd. "Join them you creep" Strangely no one saw his actual face when he killed the wolf.. They thought the boy that killed the wolf was skillful and never expected a boy so skinny and shameless to try to claim that.

"Silence!!" The warden had enough, he just lost one of his men. He wanted to kill him but The killer is gone and another stupid boy wants to take the credit? That alone angered him . "Today's training is over, go to the canteen and eat! Tomorrow you will go into the forest to hunt the beast, farewell slaves!" He announced. "All the slave masters should meet me at my office. You are dismissed"

Right after the warden finished speaking, the ordinances scattered and went through the front gate. The gate was wide open and none of the slaves dared to blend in with them because it was impossible.

The free people had a special necklace that they used as a ticket. Even if a slave managed to get one of those, he will still need to speak the language of the wolves before they can exit.

The Slave Establishment was in the center of the desert and only the rich could afford the transportation price. And those that don't have that, use their own abilities since they were not entirely humans.

It was rare for humans to travel from their city and come to the Supernaturals. It was dangerous but it wasn't that way for the Supernaturals. Even if a human came to their side of the planet, they will require either a guardian or a weapon that can protect them. That's why most humans stay in their own cities and towns.

When the Supernaturals go to the human cities they buy people as Slaves. That was the only relationship the humans had with them.

As the crowd went through the gate, the slave will have to wait until the important guests leave before they could do so.

Jinx hugged Benjamin immediately. "Thank you Benjamin '' She said. "Thank you for saving my life" As a princess no boy was allowed to touch her, even her maids required permission before they could bathe her but all those restrictions were no more. And strangely she felt good doing it. That's why Jinx didn't care about hugging Benjamin.

"Oh..kay You are welcome" Jinx didn't know how her hugging had attracted attention, almost all the slaves were watching while the extremely beautiful girl was hugging that creep. Of course they didn't do anything, they were slaves and couldn't stop them here but it didn't mean they won't separate them in the future.

After the hugging,

Jinx continued staring at Benjamin as they walked to the exit. The door they were passing through was the main entrance the slaves used to enter the arena. It was guarded the entire 72 hours. That way slaves can escape through the arena's back door.

All the slaves gasped at the sight of the large hall they had appeared in. This was a reminder to the Slaves that the slave establishment was like a town and big and therefore no one can escape. It was a large hall occupied by tables and chairs and the walls painting was dark red as if they used blood. The hall was like a Prison yard. Since they sunshine the entire 24 hours, the hall wasn't entirely dark, making it possible for them to see clearly.

They Walk inside.

And from a distance, there were another set of slaves wearing black clothes all over.

Those were seasoned slaves. These slaves were adults, most of them were criminals and some of them were poor people who couldn't pay their taxes so the king brought them here. They'd stayed here for a long time and had accepted their fate as slaves. Because of it there have been certain privileges for them, and for that matter living at the slave establishment wasn't hard for them.

Right now they pitied the new ones since they were going to be trained like war soldiers. And most of them will die along the way. All this training was done to sell the top 10 slaves directly to the King of the World.

The rest of them will be sold to wealthy Supernaturals. And the unlucky ones will be collected by the Vampires.

"Go and eat!" The slave masters ordered.

All the 50 slaves sat close to each other.

"Hey, this place isn't a bar! Go and collect your food from the kitchen " One adult told them.

"I can't believe all these teenagers are here. They are so young." One of the four leaders of the slaves said.

"What can we say, all we can do is watch them while they suffer." Another shrugged.

" Well let's see if one fool tries escaping." The second leader uttered.

" Please don't bring that matter. We all know that person will be locked in the dungeon"

" Guys, let's forget them and have our meals" The four leaders retorted.

Some of the new ones went and collected their food from the kitchen.

The kitchen was at the corner side of the hall. and was guarded by real werewolves unlike the subclass called the wolf.

The werewolves are stronger than the slave drivers since the slave drivers were just wolves. The only difference is that the werewolves had brown skin while the wolves had pale looking skin.

Benjamin didn't leave, instead he was just standing away from the rest.

At the moment , Benjamin was in deep thoughts, thinking about their hugging section.

His cheeks turned red recalling that. It was the first time he got that close to a girl.

Benjamin kept on remembering her words ``Thank you for saving my life Benjamin" Jinx whispered to his ears making her warm breath touch his skin.

Then someone snapped his fingers right in front of him. It was a guy.

"Hey, still thinking about that girl? If you want her just tell her, you know, before the killings start." He said.

Hearing this Benjamin's heart boiled.

" What killing?"

" Shh, come " The boy led him to sit. " My name is Sam, and I have been her for one year"

" One year? And you are still a child?" Benjamin stared at his face. The boy facing him looked young in the face but his body was muscular and his hair was curly black.

" Yeah, that's not important. The important thing is tomorrow you and the others will be going to hunt breasts, and if you are not lucky none of your group might come back alive."

Sam said then left.

On his way he kept staring back at Benjamin.

" I can't believe I have finally met him."
