Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 190 The old woman continued, "Listen. You ate our food and drank our water all these years. You grew up in our house, so you owe us. Understand?" She thought, 'So what if Nyx was bought? Back then, plenty of child brides in the poor village had been bought. They all had to be grateful and work obediently for their new families." At first, their family bought Nyx to raise her as a child bride. But as she grew up, she bectoo beautiful- dearly not someone meant for a quiet, obedient life. So they changed their minds and decided to sell her off for a good price instead.

The old woman was about to start another tirade when she suddenly heard a beeping sound from the phone.

Nyx had hung up.

The balding middle-aged man heard the old woman curse and saw her furiously trying to smash her phone on the ground He quickly stopped her.

The outcwas obviously bad.

"I'll think of something." The balding man reassured his mother. “We'll find a way to deal with her.” Nyx's ID was still in their hands, so they could use it to threaten Nyx.

After hanging up, Nyx obtained a complete recording of the call.

She submitted the recording, along with chat logs collected by the Intelligent Brain system, as evidence to the police.

Archie volunteered to drive her, tagging along like her shadow. Several times, he seemed like he wanted to say something. trying to comfort her but not knowing how. "So, you ran away from home? You really don't have a phone?" "That's right," Nyx spread her hands innocently. "I don't even have my ID with me." While filing the report, she also mentioned this and requested the police's help in retrieving her illegally withheld documents.

"If you trust me, I can arrange a lawyer for you." Archie finally figured out how he could help and patted his chest confidently.

The Cook family had a large legal team, so they would undoubtedly handle this matter for Nyx flawlessly. "Thank you." Nyx solemnly expressed her gratitude to him.

As a token of appreciation, she gave Archie a warning: "You'd better withdraw from the bidding for that land in Copward. There's something underneath it." This was information she had obtained from the Intelligent Brain system.

To her, Archie was a stranger she had just met. She wasn't reckless in giving out her trust, so she had the Intelligent Brain conduct a thorough background check on him, even uncovering the project he had recently taken an interest in and planned to bid on.

The system also checked whether there were any issues with the project. To her surprise, the underground scan revealed an ancient tomb site. Clearly, that piece of land was not suitable for commercial development.

From the information provided by the Intelligent Brain, Archie seemed like a nice guy. Nyx didn't want him to suffer unnecessary losses, so she gave him a serious warning.

1/4 06:42 Tue, 25 Feb S Chapter 190 "Alright," Archie responded, confused, while temporarily agreeing, He had no idea where Nyx got her information from and assumed she was just talking nonsense. He didn't Willy bellew her, but he still made a mental note of it Suddenly, his phone vibrated. Archie clicked on the livestream link sent by a friend, and his face instantly turned red with anger.

He thought, 'How could there be such shameless people? The title of the livestream was targeting Nyx: [We're Waiting for You to CHome) An old woman sat in front of the camera, saying nothing. She was just silently shedding tears while clutching Nyx's ID card Behind her stood a large family, led by a middle-aged man with a balding head, sighing heavily, "We've been searching for you since last March, and now we finally have news, "Yes, we're poor, and life here isn't as good as outside, but we don't ask for much. We just want you to cback and see Grandma," Riding on Archie's popularity, the livestream quickly gained traction.

[What's going on?] [Is this the woman who saved Archie at the racetrack?] [Damn, I thought she was a good girl.] [So she's just an ungrateful runaway? She latched onto a rich guy and abandoned her family?] [Poor old lady, please accept my intehug.] -People naturally sympathized with the weak.

The audience was easily led by emotions. Most of them couldn't bear to see an elderly person so miserable and started sending donations to comfort her.

As the donation amount soared, her eldest grandson, unable to contain his excitement, secretly smirked. Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door.

The house was old and shabby-any knock echoed through the entire place, startling even the livestream viewers.

The eldest grandson's smile froze. He didn't dare open the door, afraid that debt collectors had cagain. But the knocking persisted, disrupting the livestream. The old woman gave her second son a meaningful look. The second son was the father of the eldest grandson. Receiving his mother's signal, he pulled his son aside and secretly transferred him smoney, whispering, "Go and calm them down first. Tell them we'll have money soon and that we'll definitely pay off the debt." The eldest grandson did as instructed, feeling a surge of excitement.

That gambling debt had been troubling him for so long-finally, he was about to get rid of it.

He puffed up his chest and pulled the door open forcefully. But the moment he saw the police uniforms outside, he instantly deflated like a punctured balloon.

He thought, 'Did they cto arrest me? For gambling?" 2/4 06:42 Tue, 25 Feb SAD.

Chapter 190 His face turned deathly pale, and he stood frozen in panic.

99%1 He lost the ability to think. After a moment of blankness, his instincts kicked in-he shoved the police officers aside and bolted.

"Catch him." The police officer shouted.

If he hadn't run, things might have been fine. But the moment he did, it confirmed his guilt, and the officers immediately. tackled him to the ground.

The livestream couldn't capture what was happening, but the audience could hear the commotion.

[What's going on?] [?] [What just happened?] A police officer appeared in the frame, and soon, the livestream was forcibly shut down.

The gossip-hungry audience, left hanging, went into a frenzy, speculating wildly until the incident trended on social media.

Soon, rumors surfaced-it was all because of gambling.

A few days later, when the police report was released, everyone finally learned that this family was involved in a Criminal case of purchasing a trafficked girl.

During the search for evidence, there were additional unexpected only was.

discoveries: Not only was the eldest Pgambler, but his father grandson was also involved in gambling. The father and son often went out to gamble together. The balding middle-aged man, who was Nyx's so-called adoptive father, had a history of multiple thefts-he was a habitual thief.

It could be said that the entire family was rotten to the core.

The onlookers were completely stunned.

Those who had sincerely donated money to them during the livestream felt utterly ashamed and outraged. Fortunately, the platform had not yet transferred the money to the family's account and was able to refund it to the donors.

Having learned their lesson, the audience swore to be more discerning in the future and to never blindly trust one-sided stories again.

"They're all apologizing to you now, saying they feel bad for you," Archie laughed as he scrolled through online discussions, sharing them with Nyx.

"By the way, about that land in Copward-I took your advice and didn't bid on it," he said in a fawning tone.

In truth, he still really wanted that piece of land, but he didn't want to go against Nyx's wishes. After all, he had sfeelings toward Nyx now. After thinking it over, he ultimately decided to give up on the bid. He thought, 'It's just a piece of land-if I can't have it, I'll let it go. If listening to Nyx makes her happy, then it's worth it.' When their friends gathered and talked about it, they all called Archie a fool.

"When did you turn into such a love-struck idiot?" "That was prreal estate, and you just gave it up?" 06:42 Tue, 25 Feb 5 A
