Chapter 39 [Bonus chapter] Alister Was Kidnapped
In the middle of the night, Alister woke up. He woke up instinctively as he took a glance at the wall clock. He read the clock and found out that it was currently 2 AM.
Afterward, Alister spread out his mental perception. He picked up something from his mental perception which caused him to smile as he peered outside through the window in his bedroom.
In a blink of an eye, Alister disappeared from his room with the window of his bedroom being opened.
On the streets, Alister in his pajamas appeared as he walked on the road with his flip-flops. He acted as if he was a lost child finding his way back home and eventually, Alister found himself surrounded by middle-aged uncles with a wretched smile on their faces.
"Boss, this kid is lost. How much price do you think we can fetch for him? He looks cute for a kid his age and he will undoubtedly be a handsome man in the future."
"Yes, boss. This kid might be purchased as a toy by those rich women and be groomed to be their husband. We might get millions of dollars if we solve him in the slave auction!"
"Boss, out of courtesy and respect to you, we won't complain if we get the lowest share. But don't forget to mention us to the higher-ups so we can get better jobs!"
When the boss of those wretched uncles heard their enthusiastic comments, the boss who wore a golden chain necklace with a buzz-cut hairstyle snickered, "Don't worry boys. This kid will fetch at least ten million dollars. You underestimated the wealth of those rich old women who wanted to groom a fine child like that kid."
"Don't say that I am not generous. Each of you will get 1 million dollars while I will get the rest!"
"You don't need me to tell you what to do next, right?"
The boss with a buzz cut showed a disgusting smile on his face as he took a glance at the four-year-old Alister, signaling his subordinates to take action.
His subordinates nodded their heads and went to knock out Alister with a handkerchief laced with anesthetic, covering his mouth with it.
Eventually, they saw Alister close his eyes after Alister "struggled" at their hands. Alister "passed out" and was carried by the wretched uncles and thrown into their van that they had prepared beforehand.
Afterward, they didn't want to take any chances on losing such a valuable good so one of the wretched uncles was considerate enough to volunteer to tie up the "unconscious" Alister.
After all, they knew that Alister was worth at least ten million dollars if he was auctioned in the slave auction and bought by those rich old women.
Alister was their ticket to being rich so they dare not let Alister have the chance to escape. After tying up and gagging Alister as they covered his mouth with the handkerchief, the van drove in the middle of the night.

'I have to say, being kidnapped at the age of 4 is quite the novel experience. Not every kid in this world has a chance to experience this so I guess I am lucky.'
Alister thought in his mind as he surveyed his surroundings through his mental perception. His eyes were still closed as he put up an act of being unconscious from the anesthetic that the kidnappers had used.
Anesthetic couldn't affect him since not only was his body at SSS-rank very powerful and resistant, but even if it wasn't, his zombie virus alone could take the initiative to fight off foreign substances.
Unless it was a stronger virus, bacteria, parasite, etc., Alister couldn't get sick now and that also included poison and anesthetic. Any foreign substance that didn't benefit the zombie virus would be devoured by the zombie virus.
Alister knew that the zombie virus was a ticking time bomb that could potentially take control of his body after it had fully evolved and matured. Fortunately, he had received the Zombie Virus Immunity (Purple) talent from the system, or else his cautious self dared not have the zombie virus in his body.
The zombie virus seemed to have been integrated into his body as it lived in harmony with the cells in his body. It was like having an extra cell in his body which only provided him with viral energy and other benefits so Alister no longer cared about it.
Moreover, Alister had already surveyed his surroundings through the use of his mental perception ability. He had observed himself being locked up in the van with those kidnappers as those kidnappers drove the van to more remote locations.
'If it was me at this age and I didn't transmigrate into this world with a system and the power to dominate this world, I would have already cried a lot after experiencing being kidnapped and possibly solved as a slave.'
'However, it's still not certain who was the one being kidnapped. These fools didn't know that I was using them to bring me to those wealthy people so I could control them to become my subordinates!'
'Ah~~! Being powerful sure is a bliss~~! I can do whatever I want in this world without any fear even if this world is not a simulation but the real world!'
'This is the greatest high!'
The experience of being "kidnapped" had allowed Alister to further realize the "danger" of the world but due to his great power, he didn't find his situation as dangerous.
But it had also made Alister understand that only when he was powerful, he wouldn't have to worry about any sort of danger since they could be solved by him easily. After all, only power was absolute in this world!
'Tch! These kidnappers of mine don't even know how to drive the van skillfully. No wonder they are poor and could only result in abducting cute children like myself.'
Alister complained as he felt the van shake from riding on the bumpy road.
Before Alister could complain again, he noticed that the van had come to a halt.
He was finally going to be sold to those wealthy people!
