Chapter 2506 Sign the Contract and Stay
When Austin heard this, his eyes suddenly became deep, and his sharp gaze was fixed on Marcy, as if he was examining the truth behind her words.
Marcy met his gaze, her eyes full of sincerity and clear eyes without any evasion, and she didn't look like she was lying.
Austin was silent for a moment, and finally spoke in a low voice, "Have you forgotten that you have no money?
Drug transactions require huge amounts of money, often starting at tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
Even the purchase of basic medicinal materials would cost at least a million.”
When Marcy heard this, obvious displeasure appeared on her face.
If I had a cell phone, I wouldn't be unable to pay.
She sighed and said, "It's okay if I can't get in. I'll come back when I make some money."
After saying that, she turned her head angrily, called out to Dabai, and walked out.
Austin stood there, looking at her angry back. For some reason, his heart was inexplicably touched, as if it was gently pricked by something soft.
After a few seconds, he said calmly, "Come back."
Marcy turned her head in confusion and asked, "What?"
Austin replied nonchalantly, “I’ll show you the herbs, and I’ll be merciful enough to let you buy them on credit.
Anyway, the money is already owed, so it doesn't matter.
But let me make this clear, if you can't pay it back, you'll leave me here to pay off the debt, understand?"
Marcy frowned and asked, "Pay off the debt? How do you pay it off?"
Austin's tone was a bit playful as he said directly, "Of course I'll sign a contract to sell myself. I'll stay in this black market and earn money to pay off my debts, not a penny less."
Marcy's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief, "There's something like this in this place?"
It really is a black market!
Austin laughed, his voice low and sarcastic. "Why else do you think there are so many people in the black market? This place isn't a charity."
In the beginning, I existed to do things for others, but later on, some people needed help but couldn't pay the balance, so they naturally had to stay and work for me until the debt was paid off."
He paused, his eyes sweeping over Ma Xi sharply, “Come to think of it, that Tuya you were with also signed a contract to sell herself.
If you owe a debt, you must stay."
"what?"
Marcy was startled and exclaimed in a trembling voice.
She has always been curious about Sister Tuya's origins, but she never had the chance to ask. She secretly guessed that there must be a story behind her, but she just didn't know what happened to her.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Austin actually understood.
So, Ma Xi quickly seized this rare opportunity and asked anxiously, "Sister Tuya, why are you here?"
Austin didn’t hide anything and said directly, “Her situation is rather special.
I heard that she was born into a wealthy family, but suffered cruel betrayal.
Her fiancé and stepsister conspired to push her into the raging waves during a sea trip, nearly causing her to drown.
Fortunately, Tuya was lucky enough to be rescued by nearby fishermen and saved his life.
When she returned home after many hardships, she found that all the family property had been taken away by her stepsister and her fiancé, leaving nothing.
Her mother was so heartbroken by this incident that she died soon after.
This series of blows ignited the fire of hatred in Tuya's heart. She wanted to find someone to deal with the couple and seek justice for her mother and herself.
At that time, she was sold on the black market through improper channels.
Anyway... it's pretty unlucky."
After hearing this, Marcy couldn't believe it.
Sister Tuya actually experienced such a cruel thing?
She was immediately indignant and asked Austin, "Why is your black market like this? Isn't this too much?"
Austin just found it funny when he saw this.
He raised an eyebrow and said lightly, "She was deceived by a middleman, not someone in the black market. Don't make random accusations."
After hearing this, Ma Xi felt as if she were being stabbed by needles. She asked unwillingly, "Even so, indentures are always sold on the black market, right? Don't you have any responsibility at all?"
Austin shook his head, his tone tinged with sarcasm and severity, "Little girl, you are too naive. This black market has many transactions and has its own strict rules.
These middlemen are not from the black market, but they can achieve their desired goals through their own channels, threats and other means.
Tuya was stupid and easily tricked into selling her body. Who can be blamed for this?
I say it again, the black market is not a place for charity. People with naive minds can't survive here! You should face reality as soon as possible! "
When Marcy heard his cold words, she felt uncomfortable, her brows unconsciously frowned, and her fingers clenched into fists.
She knew that Austin's words were true.
Places like the black market have always been an abyss where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
If the people who go in are not strong-willed enough, they will often be left with no remains and even their souls will be devoured.
But she felt sad when she thought about how such a good sister Tuya ended up with such a miserable end.
Marcy's heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle, and her eyes became slightly moist.
She suppressed her sobs and asked, "Then...did she get her revenge later?"
Austin was silent for a few seconds before he spoke in a low voice, "No, once she fell into the black market, she couldn't get out. She was sold by the middleman for a full thirty years.
In other words, for the next thirty years, she won't be able to even step out of the black market. Her life and death will be controlled by others. Understand?"
Marcy's chest tightened, and she felt suffocated and desperate, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Not to mention Sister Tuya, anyone else who heard it would feel that it was a deadly torture.
The enemy is still at large, living triumphantly, while I am imprisoned, living in darkness.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have had a mental breakdown and turned into a walking corpse, losing even the courage to live.
But Sister Tuya is different. Not only did she risk her life to help him, she also almost lost her life because of this loyalty.
Thinking of this, Ma Xi's eyes suddenly turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. She felt so distressed for Tuya.
Austin was startled and asked hurriedly, "Are you going to cry?"
Ma Xi raised her head abruptly and retorted angrily, "So what? Is it not okay? Sister Tuya is so good and kind.
When I was thrown here, I followed her out of fear.
But she never despised me, instead she always protected me.
In order to save me, he disobeyed that damn Fei Ye, and ended up getting beaten and suffering internal injuries.
She suffered so much inhuman harm, but she was never swallowed by darkness, and her heart remained as pure as before.
Why do all the bad things happen to her alone?
This is so unfair!
This black market is really not a good place, and the people here are not good people!!!"
