Chapter 1251
The dissatisfaction of the Chu Family had risen. They couldn''t even fill up their stomachs, but they
had heard the news that Syl had made a lot of money every day. They immediately med it on
Jacindo. This was human nature.
"Shh, keep your voice down. It''ll be bad if someone hears us."
The person who spoke subconsciously looked back and saw that no one had noticed him. He
breathed a sigh of relief and then said no more.
From the breakfast that the Chu Family had prepared today, it could be seen how hard the Chu
Family had been living.
In the early morning, Henry stretched out and walked out of the room. Because of the demon
beasts'' invasion, the Treasure Pavilion stopped working. For Henry, his monotonous daily life could
be changed a little.
Henry walked up and down the city.
Henry''s residence was located in the inner city. As soon as he went out of the dividing line of the
inner city, Henry saw that the street was full of people sleeping.
"My lord, I beg you. Please give me some, My
lord!"
There was a five- or- six- year- old child holding Henry''s shank, his eyes full of pleading.
Henry was dressed in fine clothes, which was a sharp contrast to those outside who didn''t have
enough clothes to eat or sleep anywhere.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
"Lord, please save my child. He hasn''t eaten anything for two days." A woman in her thirties knelt in
front of Henry and kept kowtowing. The woman''s hands were cracked. Her mouth was dry, her face
was pale, and her forehead was sweating. It could be seen that she was very weak.
When Henry saw the mother and son, he suddenly realized that it seemed like many years ago, in
that winter, his mother begged for him so bitterly and only wanted to have a meal. That kind of life
was bitter, but it was always warm in his heart.
Henry sighed, put his hand into his pocket, and grabbed a handful of gold coins. He was about to
take them out, but after thinking for a while, he loosened most of the gold coins, leaving only one.
Then he took it out and threw it to the woman in front of him.
Looking at the shining gold coin, the woman was stunned for a moment. The little boy beside her,
however, quickly picked up the gold coin and kept kowtowing to Henry.
"Thank you, my lord. Thank you, my lord."
The corners of Henry''s mouth were slightly lifted. In those days, when his mother saw the cotton-
padded jacket and the banknote she was also stunned. Henry, as a child, also rushed up to get the
cotton-padded jacket and money.
Henry did not give them too much. He was clear that if he gave them too much, it would cause harm
to the mother and son.
Henry rubbed the child''s head and said, "When you grow up, you have to treat your mother well,
you know? Mother''s love is the greatest in the world."
"Yes." The boy nodded. "When I grow up, I''ll definitely be a powerful person."
"I believe you will." Henry smiled and then turned around.
Henry didn''t want to go to the outer city. He knew that there were a lot of such mothers and sons in
the outer city, who were even more miserable than them. Henry didn''t want to see this.
The outer city was in a miserable state.
Looking at the inner city again, everyone was living in the same ce as usual, singing and dancing
every night. It was a feast for rich and powerful families.
"The smell of wine and meat wafted from the doors of the rich, while the poor died of cold and
hunger in the streets."
Deep in the outer city, one could clearly feel the impact of the siege of the demonic beasts on the
entire Eastern City, as well as the fear in the hearts of the people. However, in the inner city, they
could not feel this at all. The people who were storing the food were preparing to sell the food at a
higher price.
Henry was walking on the street in the inner city.
A team of soldiers rushed toward Henry.
"The demonic beasts areing. Go back to your residence as soon as possible."
The officers and soldiers escorted Henry back to his residence.
Henry had just entered the room when he heard a loud shouting from outside the yard.
"Demonic beasts areing. Get ready to defend!"
A bird-type demonic beast appeared in the sky again.
Today''s demonic beast attack was even more violent than yesterday''s attack. Countless demonic
beasts hovered in the sky,unching a diving attack, and were killed by the city defenders.
Today''s attacksted for an entire day. Only at dusk did someonee out to clean up the mess on
the streets.
Henry had spent the whole day in his room.
As night fell, Trahern, who had been discussing with the City Lord''s Mansion for the entire night,
walked out of his room. Two beautiful women followed beside him, tidying up his messy clothes.
Trahern yawned and ordered, "All of you, follow me."
Henry walked out of the door. "Brother Cui, it''s sote. Where are you going?"
"Sending out the grains." Trahern''s face was full of displeasure. "Yesterday, the City Lord called all
the people who had grains to the City Lord''s Mansion. He promised us a bunch of benefits in order
to get us to take out the grains. Two of them didn''t agree, but they were bitten to deathst night by
the demonic beasts."
Henry understood what it meant to be bitten to death by demonic beasts.
"Brother, if you are bored, you can go out with me. Now life is worthless. If you like a girl, you can
buy her for half a kilogram of grain," Trahern said, raising his eyebrows at Henry.
"Let''s go and have a look." Henry took a deep breath.
The grain distribution was located at the border between the inner and outer city.
The people outside the city had already received news that they were going to distribute the grains
tonight, and all of them had squeezed their way here.
Henry saw that many well- dressed merchants were walking toward the dividing line reluctantly like
Trahern. Behind them, several of their men were pushing the carts and throwing bags of food.
There were officers and soldiers responsible for maintaining order at the dividing line.
The Chu Family''s people were squeezed into the crowd.
Jacindo wore a white gown, which made him seem otherworldly. However, his gown had turned into
a flowery gown less than a minute after he squeezed into the crowd. All kinds of ck handprints
were printed on Jacindo''s shirt.
With a look of disgust on his face, Jacindo looked at the people around him and kept shouting, "Get
out of my way! You beggars, get out of my way!" "You''re so noble, don''te and get your food!"
"We are all stray dogs, but you are we still putting on an act?"
Jacindos words immediately drew the displeasure of arge group of people.
The Chu Family was not the only family present. With the exception of cido and Ranjeet,
everyone else hade out to receive their rations.
Nearly 30,000 people were in a dark crowd, making a lot of noise.
At the very beginning of the distribution of grain, almost everyone was madly rushing forward,
wanting to take more food.
Henry looked at the scene in front of him and couldn''t help but feel a little sad. In this world, no
matter where it was, the strong preyed on the weak. In the flourishing age, there was not much
difference, but in troubled times, the weak had to fight to survive.
This further reaffirmed Henry''s determination to be a supreme expert.
In the crowd, Jacindo thought highly of his status and disdained topete with others. By the time
he arrived at the grain distribution area, today''s food had already been distributed.
"It''s gone, it''s gone." The distributor was getting ready to go back.
"It''s gone?" Jacindo nced at the empty sack and suddenly saw Henry standing not far away.
He suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Syl! Return the food!"
