Chapter 94 - Kartoth
Chapter 94: Kartoth
The middle-aged man’s name was Barru, and he was very popular on the streets of West Finks.
He was the kind big brother. After the sky turned completely dark, he hurriedly went to the small house where Emily was.
“Emily, the neighbors are almost unable to open the pot.
“Until now, I can only gather 50 silver coins. I don’t know if it’s enough to redeem your father.”
A heavy cloth bag was tightly held in Barru’s hand. It should contain the 50 silver coins mentioned.
“Emily, I’ll go to the street under Kartoth’s control now and try to get your father back.”
Emily hurriedly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said, “I want to go too.”
“Emily, you don’t know what kind of person Kartoth is. He’s a complete bastard. He only cares about women, wine, and money.
“For your safety, I can’t let you go with me.”
“But…”
“There’s no buts, Emily. Just stay with this little brother and rest well in the house.”
Barru forced a smile on his face.
Davis sat up from the bed and said to Barru, “Let me go with you. I don’t want anything to happen.”
Barru stopped Davis and said with concern, “I heard from Wharton that you were seriously injured and passed out for a few days. You should stay with Emily.”
“I’ll talk to you when I get Wharton back.”
After saying that, Barru carefully held the money bag and disappeared into the night.
The slums at night were very dark.
No one on the street of West Finks was willing to use precious firewood to light up the corners of the streets.
On the uneven streets made of stone, there were pools of stagnant water that emitted a thick stench.
It seemed to be the smell of dead rats that had spread.
If the doors and windows of the houses were not closed properly, the pungent smell would make people unable to open their eyes.
“Are you very worried?”
In the house, Davis sat on the bed and patted Emily’s head.
“Yes…”
“Uncle Barru is a good person. My father once told me that if I wanted to live in Pompeii, being a good person would be a big disadvantage sooner or later.”
Emily pursed her lips and said softly.
“Even so, your father still insists on making you a good person?”
Davis smiled and shook his head. This Wharton was really a contradictory fellow.
“Father said that after we earn enough money in Pompeii City, he would take me away from Pompeii City.
“Father said that he would definitely take me to a place where good people get good rewards, so we must insist on being a good person.”
Emily said firmly.
Seeing this, Davis was a little helpless.
In Pompeii City, which was close to the demon world, the various thoughts of humans who were contaminated by the power of chaos would be magnified dozens of times, to the extent that they would do all sorts of things that the outside world thought were inconceivable.
Now, the injuries in his body had almost recovered under the nourishment of life force in the alternate dimension.
The chaos and divine power in his body had also recovered to 10% .
As long as he absorbed enough heaven and earth energies with all his strength, Davis believed that he would be able to recover around 80% of the chaos power in his body within a week.
At this moment, Davis raised his brows.
A bloody figure slowly walked into the house from afar.
It was Barru. His entire body was heavily injured and his aura was extremely weak.
As soon as he entered, Barru used up all his strength and fell heavily to the ground.
“Uncle Barru!”
“I’m sorry… child.
“I didn’t fulfill my promise to you…
“Kartoth, that fellow, is simply an animal.”
Before he could finish, Barru spat out several mouthfuls of blood from his mouth and nearly fainted.
Looking at Barru’s miserable state, Emily could not help but cover her mouth.
“Sigh…”
Davis sighed helplessly.
He had long said that he would go with them, but he refused to listen.
Davis patted Emily’s little head and said, “Emily, are you afraid of blood?”
Emily did not know what Davis was planning to do. She shook her head blankly and said, “I helped dad kill fish, so I’m not afraid.”
The corner of Davis’ mouth rose slightly and he said, “Very good. Then Emily, you can come with me.
“We’ll go and pick up your dad.”
“Eh…”
Emily could not help but laugh.
“But Uncle Barru said that place is very dangerous, and Uncle Barru’s injuries are so serious. If we leave him alone…”
“It’s okay.
“I, Barru, am very tough. I won’t die for a while.”
Barru, who was lying on the ground, said slowly, “Little brother, do you really have the ability to save Wharton?”
“What else do you want me to do?”
Davis held Emily’s small hand and turned around to ask.
Seeing Davis’ indifferent expression, Barru shook his head bitterly.
“I was rash. The street that Kartoth is on is not far ahead. Please protect Emily well.”
Davis nodded and immediately grabbed Emily’s small hand and disappeared into the night.
In the wooden house, Barru got up from the ground with difficulty. He leaned against the wall and looked in the direction where Davis and Emily had gone. He could not help but mutter to himself.
“What is the identity of this young man…”
Barru had his own secrets.
Before he had wandered into Pompeii, he was a soldier of the noble’s mansion.
He had been on the battlefield and seen countless strong people fight.
Barru had witnessed the strength of all kinds of mages, warriors and sages with his own eyes.
However, with just a casual glance from Davis, Barru felt an extremely terrifying aura. It was far more than any person he had ever seen in his life.
It was an unrivaled killing aura.
It was as if a demon king had walked out of hell, causing Barru’s soul to tremble uncontrollably.
It was as if Davis was the king of this world at that moment.
“I’m afraid that Kartoth and Jack are finished this time.”
…
On Wala Street of Pompeii City, inside Rose Bar, Kartoth was hugging two women with good figures as he shook a wine glass in his hands.
The two women squeezed their peaks onto Kartoth’s body.
At this moment, Kartoth was standing on a middle-aged man who was tied up. His mouth was sealed and his fingernails were all pulled out. Bright red blood was continuously being left behind. It looked extremely bloody.
At this moment, the door of Rose Bar was immediately shattered.
