"Stop." A deep, stern voice cut through the air. The two men immediately looked over. As soon as they saw Mr. Joker, their expressions changed. They lowered their heads respectfully. "Mr. Joker." Mr. Joker walked over to the unconscious man on the ground. He knelt down and checked his breathing. "He's still alive. Even if he were dead, you can't just feed him to the dogs. Slaves are hard to cby, and the Pharaoh's death experiments haven't succeeded yet. We need to minimize losses." "Yes, Mr. Joker," the two men responded in unison, their previous arrogance and bloodlust completely gone. Nina realized that the men and women were held in separate parts of the slave camp. Mrs. Quintana managed the women, while Mr. Joker managed the men.
