Chapter 3: A Slave.
"You. Handle the merchandise with caution or you'll regret it."
A stern voice made the huge guy stiffen up as he hurriedly placed Felix on the ground and patted his small head.
"Yes Yes Master, I'll make sure to handle the job perfectly."
The huge guy looked at his Master, trembling as he remembered what happened to his partner who didn't do his job as his master said.
The man being called 'Master' was a bit shorter than the huge guy standing at about 1.7m tall and was wearing a brown robe over his thin body and holding a cane.
His sharp nose and pale lips showed a lack of sleep and his long gray hair looked not combed for several months. He looked around his forties if you ignore his non-beard chin.
His brown eyes were narrowed as he looked at a small booklet in his hand calculating his profit and loss that may result from the trade today.
Felix on the other hand, who finds it hard to accept that he got turned from a new employee to a slave after getting isekai'd, just muttered something in a low voice.
"Slave? How? But why? Wasn't I supposed to be a hero? Rule the world with my Golden finger and get a harem of world-class beauties?"
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED??!!", he roared at the sky.
Abruptly hearing that shout, the huge guy jumped up with a confused face thinking what was wrong with this slave.
"Hmm? What's wrong with this little fella.", he said with a curious expression.
The gray-haired man looked over at Felix who was staring at the ground with dull eyes that belonged to a person who got betrayed when he was at his happiest moment.
"Well it can't be helped after living in the slums all his life and getting thrashed around, he was lucky enough to be alive. So it doesn't matter if the kid is a bit broken. His buyers don't need a slave for handling work, but just his body to practice some dark ritual anyways."
He said without the slightest of emotions in his eyes.
The huge man gulped, scared of hearing about such rituals, and looked at the kid who was zoning out with a bit of sympathy before an evil idea came into his mind.
"M-Master, if the b-boy is going to be sacrificed then why not give him to me to play with for a few hours", he said somewhat holding back his desires.
His Master turned to him as he looked at the huge guy's perverted eyes, thinking how he ended up with such fools and making sure to not hire such worthless workers next time, but then he sighed.
"Whatever, just don't kill the kid because if you do, then you'll have to take his place."
"I'll make sure to remove the ropes to not make them interfere with our holy practices."
Felix felt like vomiting when he heard the sweet voice that the huge man used to quell his worries about removing the ropes for their heavenly practice.
'This guy is for real. I better look for a way out or else...no don't even think about it.'
After removing the ropes and also taking a deep sniff of the kid, the huge man stood up again throwing the knife away into a corner as he looked down at the kid as if he were beauty and his trophy.
Felix hurriedly moved backward putting his back against the wall and looked at the huge man with a glare while protecting his body with his small and thin hands like a damsel in distress.
'How can I get away from this', thought Felix as he looked around the room looking for something that could save him from this pervert man.
"Hehe, you doing that makes me want to embrace you more."
The huge man laughed scratching between his pants as he looked at the small figure of the boy.
Thinking of jumping at the little boy he suddenly remembered the fetish of his old partner of using some unspeakable objects when doing the art of pleasure.
"Oh wait, to make it more memorable as this is the only chance I'll get to use them on you, I'll bring something that will make you feel really good my dear boy."
Saying that, the huge man who was going to remove his belts ran out of the house holding his pants tight to not make them fall.
"Haa finally some time for myself."
Standing up while holding the wall with one hand, Felix looked around the room and tried walking around searching for anything.
"I better look for something to defend myself with against that pervert-"
Remembering how that guy was gonna come back with potential relief objects, he trembled out of fear and anger.
'I must escape from here, but running out of this house is not an option as there is another one of them near the carriage so I must think of another plan.'
Thinking about a plan to escape from this forsaken place, he saw the knife that the huge man used to cut the ropes lying in a corner. Picking it up and weighing it in his hands, a thought came to him.
'How about I kill him?'
Felix looked at the knife while sinking in deep thoughts but what he did not realize was that he was smiling eerily with a crazy look in his eyes.
