CHAPTER 358: CHAPTER 338: I WANT THEM TO PAY THE PRICE

Jiang Ruan was still a bit nervous as she spoke, gripping the man’s hand tightly, and asked him, "If the Charles family finds out we took the little girl, will they come looking for trouble with us?"

When asked, Bao Ye paused for a second, and the word "yes" flashed through his mind.

South Africa is inherently a fusion of violence, and his behavior earlier was essentially fighting violence with violence, not exactly gentlemanly conduct.

But being a gentleman in South Africa would lead to a quick death.

Bao Ye didn’t regret his actions earlier.

He could only reassure her, "Don’t worry, I’ve got it all covered."

But hearing these words didn’t ease Jiang Ruan’s anxiety; it somehow made her even more nervous, essentially confirming the trouble.

Jiang Ruan sighed inwardly and said, "But if it happened again, I would still do the same."

"I can imagine the horrific things that girl would endure if taken away. If I stood by and did nothing, I think I’d have nightmares about it."

"Bao Ye, I suddenly feel how fortunate we are to live in our home country, in peacetime, without having to deal with such fear and uncertainty."

Bao Ye replied, "Yes."

He had already regretted bringing her here to witness such bloodshed.

"We’ll go back once the auction is over."

Jiang Ruan: "Okay."

Unable to hold back, she asked him again, "Do you think this place will ever become as peaceful as back home someday?"

Bao Ye said, "It could, but it’s difficult."

Jiang Ruan: "Why?"

Bao Ye frowned, contemplating for a moment, and then earnestly said, "Because the geographical environment and system here make it impossible to be completely peaceful."

"Though it seems chaotic, it’s actually controlled by capitalist forces behind the scenes. Unless one day, a new force emerges that is strong enough to conquer everything through violence, and then enforce peace, it might happen, but it’d be incredibly hard."

"Because compared internationally, the civilization here is far behind our home country."

After listening to his words, Jiang Ruan felt a sudden realization, "I understand now."

She sighed, "I hope the entire world can be peaceful someday."

But it’s just a hope after all.

Though they’re fortunate to be born in a peaceful country.

Many places around the world still suffer from war and turmoil.

This world, from the moment one is born, is inherently unfair.

In the face of life and death, Jiang Ruan suddenly realized that her own troubles were insignificant.

Bao Ye accompanied Jiang Ruan as they explored the auction.

He’s been here three times.

So he knows a lot.

He’s able to satisfy Jiang Ruan’s curiosity completely.

Holding his hand, listening to him explain the history behind the artifact photos, Jiang Ruan almost felt as if he was a tour guide.

She was also captivated by his vast knowledge, feeling an inner admiration and pride.

Such an excellent man was hers, Jiang Ruan’s.

Yet unknown to them, at the corner of the third floor, a blue-eyed man was staring fixedly at them amidst the crowd.

Speaking with a black man beside him in South African language.

"Are they the ones you said took the girl?" Tokugawa Rui asked, his face shadowed with menace.

The black man, beaten black and blue, said, "Yes, Second Young Master, it’s them. I and the man from the fight had just bought the girl and were about to deliver her to you when that woman stopped us. That woman was especially arrogant, and her people were even more unreasonable, insisting on taking the girl away. We wouldn’t agree, so we ended up fighting."

After hearing this, Tokugawa Rui wasn’t angry; he just laughed, a chilling laugh that made one’s heart tremble.

Like a psychopath.

"Good, very good."

"Daring to take my person."

"I’ll make them pay."
