Chapter 54: The Slave Hunter

Chapter 54: The Slave Hunter.

Thud  

Ashanil let go of the slave merchant, who lost consciousness with his own blow.

As he took the keys, he let go of one by one of the slaves inside the store, asking them to wait for his orders because he still needed to liberate the slaves in the underground basement. 

He knew that letting them run after freeing them would lead to catastrophe in their lives and for him and his wife, Caitlyn, as they would alert the guards and the soldiers of his father, who was still searching.

So he instructed the slave to wait for his commands and listen to him for the time being because it would be inefficient for him to say the same word every time he released a slave, so he reasoned, why not gather them first before he said anything? His time would not be squandered in this manner, and the slave would have time to process their own ideas once the situation had calmed.
