Chapter 98 Buying Out Freedom
"Shia!"
The boy was kicked unconscious, and Hill's parents thought their son had been killed.
He got up and angrily charged at Broly.
"Uh~"
And as expected, the two of them took a punch from Broly, who controlled the force of it, and both knelt down, clutching their stomachs.
"Don't be angry, your son is still alive."
Broly said after the fight that he could have told them beforehand, but he didn't.
The couple, who were kneeling with their hands on their stomachs, calmed down after crawling over to confirm that their son was still breathing.
He reverted to his humble self in the face of a powerful figure, becoming subservient and apologetic incessantly.
"The clothing issue is settled, but now I need to discuss something else with you. How much?"
"How much?"
"How much money do I need to buy your daughter's freedom from this wretched family?"
"Ah, this..."
"We don't sell our daughters..."
Hill's parents answered hesitantly.
"Nahashu".
Broly called out, and Nahash immediately ran over.
"Big brother!"
"Losing money."
"How much did you lose?"
"First, drop an amount of one dam."
Nahashu nodded, then took out several stacks of banknotes from the box he was carrying and threw them on the ground.
"Is this money enough to buy your daughter's freedom?"
Broly pointed at Hill and asked her parents.
Money is a powerful motivator, and it would be a lie to say that Hill's parents weren't tempted by the money in front of them.
But selling their daughter for money... well, that seems to be what they were originally planning to do.
It doesn't matter who you sell your daughter to.
With money, why worry about not being able to find a good wife for my son in the future?
Besides, could they possibly refuse the terrifying boy in front of them?
"No matter what, Hill is still my daughter..."
"Add more money."
"Although we have neglected her to some extent, we still love her."
Upon seeing that the money had been increased, Hill's parents exchanged a glance and then spoke again.
But these words disgusted Broly, so he didn't waste any more words and simply took a stack of money from the ground.
"Hey, why did you take the money?"
Broly didn't want to talk, so he took another stack of money, which was about ten thousand.
In just a few words, another ten thousand dollars were lost, causing Hill's parents great distress.
"no……"
The woman was about to say something when the man next to her, realizing what was going on, covered her mouth.
"Deal! Deal!"
He shouted these words, and only released his wife's mouth when he saw that Broly had not taken any more money.
"This money is ours now, Hill is yours."
The man was obsessed with money, as if it were more important than his daughter, and that was indeed the case.
"Now you don't have to worry about your parents selling you to someone else. Go pack your things and leave here."
Broly approached Hill and spoke to the still somewhat dazed girl.
"Eh, oh."
Hill was a bit slow to react; it took him a while to realize that his parents had sold him.
But she had no objections; she was used to accepting whatever came her way, and instinctively walked towards the house.
"Hill, you need to pack your things, I'll help you."
Hua Ling quickly followed, as she had something to ask her friend.
"You just watched that child buy you out of your parents' hands?"
Upon arriving at the room, Hua Ling asked Hill.
"Is there a problem with that?"
She didn't own much in the house, just some clothes and books, which were quickly packed up.
"Hill, we are human beings, not objects that can be bought and sold at will."
"But even if he doesn't buy me, my parents will sell me to someone else in the future. Rather than selling me to someone else, wouldn't it be better to sell me to the child who is more tolerant of me?"
Hua Ling was speechless. She helped Hill take out the few pieces of luggage, still worried about her friend who might encounter some misfortune after being bought by that dangerous child who displayed strange powers.
Don't be fooled by the boy's tolerant attitude towards Hill. As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Who knows what kind of person the boy is behind the scenes?
Perhaps, it's like her scumbag ex-boyfriend, who wanted to force her to go to the red-light district to earn money for him when he was broke.
He's a beast in human form.
"This is money."
After leaving Hill's house, they arrived at a fork in the road. Broly asked Nahashu for some money and handed it to the bespectacled girl following behind him.
"Hey, why are you giving me money?"
Hill looked at the money bag handed to him, somewhat bewildered, and glanced at Broly.
"I made you homeless, this money is compensation for food and a place to stay."
"But you've already bought me, haven't you?"
"I simply helped you buy your personal freedom from your parents."
"Weren't you buying me to be your wife?"
You are still a free man.
"So I don't need to become your wife?"
The naturally naive girl was confused and blurted out the question.
"This is something you should consider yourself. If you're willing to do it, then do it; if you're not, then forget it."
Broly turned his head away because of Hill; an extra piece of memory information had entered his consciousness, causing his emotions to fluctuate wildly.
It seems that he helped Hill escape her terrible family of origin and gain freedom, but in fact, it was also a way for him to release the negative emotions within himself.
Therefore, he wouldn't use this help to ask the other person to do anything, such as becoming his wife.
As the saying goes, a forced relationship is neither sweet nor satisfying; a wife who doesn't bring him happiness is meaningless.
Broly called his friends and left, leaving Hill and Hua Ling at the crossroads, carrying their packages, somewhat bewildered.
"Lingling, it seems I haven't been bought."
"I saw it."
At this moment, the girl with the bun felt ashamed, thinking that she had been too petty.
"What should I do now?"
Hill was somewhat confused.
If you are bought, things are simple; you just need to leave with the person who bought you.
But in this situation, lacking her own opinions, she is somewhat at a loss as to where to go from here.
"My house is quite big. If you don't know where to go for the time being, why don't you come and stay at my house for now?"
"Hey, won't this cause you trouble?"
"Does that mean you cause me less trouble when you don't live in my house?"
"Oh, I'm sorry!"
"Just kidding, I know you didn't mean it, so I don't blame you."
Hua Ling patted Hill's head and took her temporarily homeless friend back to her home.
. . . .
"Brother, what are you doing kowtowing on the bed?"
That evening, after taking a shower, Losang saw Broly banging his head against the bed in his room and couldn't help but ask him a question.
"Losang, I'm starting to regret it!"
"Huh?"
