Mo Qiang sneezed as she walked past the streets. She and Mo Xifeng decided to take a look at the places from where the beggars and children vanished.
Though they did not have much hope, they wanted to take a look at the current condition of the Ke Jin dinsion. As Mo Qiang walked past the buildings and the shops that had shut down before four in the evening, she knew that the situation was indeed quite serious.
It wasn't even evening yet and many of the shops had been closed and that wasn't all, many of the buildings had been sold off and were empty with small hoarding boards that had words ——'For Sale,' flashing on them in many colours.
If Mo Qiang was being honest, these hoarding boards were the only cheerful thing on the street as the entire place looked sad and desolate.
"It seems like many citizens have already left," Mo Qiang remarked as she ca to a stop in front of a clothing shop that was boarded up. Its door was closed with a shutter and a hoarding board was flashing in front of it.
Mo Xifeng followed her gaze and sighed. She said, "It's not a surprise." She rembered what Mo Yan had told her, when they were not exiled the Mo family was bustling with servants and maids but the second Mo Yan was declared an exiled traitor, everyone left without even caring about what Mo Yan had done for them in the past few years.
Mo Yan told her this to remind her that people were selfish. They would stay with her as long as she was standing tall and proud at the top but the second she lost everything, she would be the first to be abandoned.
Thus, Mo Xifeng was not that surprised upon seeing the street and buildings empty. Everyone had their own thoughts and who wouldn't fear death? It was only natural for the citizens of this dinsion to escape, it was just that Mo Xifeng felt it was quite cruel of them to run away when her aunt was giving her all to protect them.
Mo Qiang glanced at the sullen and lancholic expression on Mo Xifeng's face and did not say anything further. She had a very good idea of what Mo Xifeng was thinking about, even though she knew this feeling very well.
When she was fired because she complained about her senior who was harassing her, everyone ignored and ostracized her in the sa way. It was just that Mo Qiang knew how to put them in their places as she did not care about things like morals and what not.
"I guess we cannot find anything like this," Mo Qiang said to Mo Xifeng as she looked around the street. There was not even a single human in sight, so what was the point of even looking around?
Mo Xifeng nodded as she also agreed with Mo Qiang. "I think we should try again the night——"
"AHHHH!!! Help ! Help !" The two of them turned around upon hearing the scream of a r.
Their gazes fell on the young r who was being dragged to a black van by a few old won, seven blocks down from where they stood... His friends were already unconscious as they were not resisting or struggling against the group of won who were dragging them.
"Shut up! You should be glad that your pathetic life is coming to use sohow!" One of the won scolded the r. They were the mbers of the group who were responsible for catching rs and children and sending them to the pit where the Ruby Head Snake lived.
However, they were not bad people. Not all, they were only catching rs and children who did not know better. Like these rs, they only knew how to party with strangers and waste the money of their parents.
Since they were this useless, the won of this group were certain that even their parents would thank them for getting rid of these debt collectors.
"That's right! You only know how to whore around and sleep with won whom you don't even know! No sha at all, such rs like you are better off dead lest you make your wives suffer. It would be much better for you to die than live a miserable life like this," another woman said to the r who was screaming, she tried to knock him out as well but the r fought tooth and nail with her.
He looked scared and panicked while looking around the street. If he had known that they would end up in trouble like this, he would have never co to this bar.
"Help! Help please!" The r scread but it was in vain as no one ca out of their houses. Nor did anyone hear his plea for help as there was no pedestrian on the street.
The r panicked thinking that he would be sent to the pit of the snake like many others.
'Soone please co and help! I don't want to die!' The r thought as he was shoved inside the van helplessly. He could feel his senses dim as he was drugged by these won. 'Sh..Shit, I cannot pass out here!'
If he passed out then he wouldn't get a chance to wake up ever again!
"Drive! Drive before soone cos and stops us," one of the won whose face was covered with a mask said to her teammate. They knew that the Ruby Head Snake had gone back, it wouldn't take long for the guards to start patrolling! They cannot be caught!
Or else——
*************************************
[Tiline: So people are confused about it so I will clear it up. Mo Yan was exiled when Mo Qiang was ten years old and Mo Xifeng wasn't a Mo Family mber. The Empress did not relay the news that Mo Yan was a traitor to the commoners nor did she disclose Mo Yan's daughter's identity, which allowed them to live a better life than most exiled children. But Madam Wei who found out that Mo Qiang's core was compatible with her daughter released the news to the entire Imperial Star causing Mo Qiang and Mo Xifeng to suffer as well. She wanted Mo Qiang to die such that she could snatch her core.]
