Ace was stunned. The nobles, who had always thought of their happy lives, were actually so inhuman.
"Is life this difficult for even minor nobles?" Ace preferred to think positively.
Try to understand that they did this out of desperation!
But when the viscount's parents came downstairs and greeted the guests, they wore warm, spring-like smiles!
It's hard to imagine that they were forced into this situation.
For them, it was all just a series of deals to climb the ladder!
“Let’s look at another one…” Renn looked at more than one company.
Instead, it was a leap, crossing several streets.
Proceed deeper into the highlands.
They stopped next to the estate of a great noble family, a duke.
Here are a few adopted children and a few parent children studying late into the night!
"His Excellency the Duke said that as long as one of you can establish a good relationship with the prince or princess, you can change your own destiny and the destiny of your family. Do you want to marry into a lower-ranking noble family, or become a member of the royal family?"
"I don't want to be a lowly commoner! I don't want to be a lowly commoner! Hehe!"
Some children, while studying, kept talking to themselves.
Their eyes had lost their light; they were numb, like puppets!
Some have gone mad, and mad children are disposed of like trash!
After killing them, just throw them into the garbage dump!
Lucky poor people might be able to find some valuable items from these corpses.
After trying one or two more companies, they finally discovered...
(aebi) From children to adults, everyone is immersed in a crazy game of power...
There is no humanity, no family affection, only transactions!
Some nobles also tormented the commoners who offended them.
The lives of ordinary people mean nothing to them.
“Paul, it’s alright. The life of a lowly person is nothing. Kill him! How dare a mere commoner be your friend!” An adult squatted down next to a child who was only five or six years old.
He handed him a knife and instructed him to kill the poor child who was terrified and tied up.
At first, the noble child was somewhat resistant!
But under the adults' persuasion, his eyes gradually became numb. Holding the knife, he walked over, muttering to himself, "You don't deserve to be my friend! You don't deserve to be my friend! I can't let people think I've ever been friends with a commoner's child! I am the heir of a noble earl family!"...
He handed the knife to his former friend!
"Stop!!" Ace and Sabo couldn't stand it anymore!
They were a commoner and a nobleman!
Someone had died before they arrived.
And those apathetic aristocratic children simply didn't know what to do!
But he had only been friends with nobles!
If I'm about to be killed.
This is absolutely absurd!!
The two struggled, and Ryan took the opportunity to release them.
The two men broke in through the window.
Sabo and Ace paused for a moment, then exchanged a glance.
They then acted swiftly, making several loud thuds.
He knocked down the noble father and son, as well as the guards beside them!
Rescue this innocent civilian child.
Speeding headlong towards the uncertain final destination!
A large group of guards were chasing after them...
Renn watched silently from the air.
The other nobles, seeing this, also watched with curiosity, as if observing a spectacle.
No one stepped forward to help, lest the nobleman embarrass himself.
If some minor nobles manage things well, they might have more opportunities!
The two moved quickly, making many turns, but arrived at the gate of the final stop.
The gate is already closed at this time.
They had nowhere to run and had to flee.
At that moment, Renn swung a palm strike.
A fierce wind blew, sending countless guards flying. Ace and his companions were also tossed and thrown over the wall by the wind.
"You've seen the lives of the nobles. Who do you think is more ruthless, them or the pirates?" Rein asked calmly after landing.
"I...I don't know...why, why are they all acting like madmen? It's terrifying..." Ace couldn't give an answer!
But if he could, he would rather face those ruthless pirates.
They also didn't want to confront these nobles!
Sabo remained silent throughout!
"Now do you think that the chaos in this world is entirely the fault of pirates?" Rein asked again!
"No!" Ace could give a definite answer to this question!
This has little to do with pirates!
Pirates are criminals, while this is a system of nobles, an upper-class society!
There might be something going on between the two, a deal!
But it's not a one-sided fault.
"Aren't you the Navy's Grand Inspector? That's a very high rank, isn't it? Even you can't save this country?" Sabo suddenly looked up!
He looked at Renn with hopeful eyes.
Sabo had always known about the situation of the Highland nobles.
However, they mostly just wanted to understand their own situation.
He had assumed that most nobles would be normal.
Only their family is a bit abnormal!
Now let's see the whole country from an outsider's perspective, led by Ryan!
The nobles in this country are all too abnormal, too bizarre!
He's not like a normal person at all.
"You haven't been assimilated. I've said you have strong independent thinking skills and know how to think further..."
"If I put it this way, you might understand. This kind of aristocratic circle in the Goa Kingdom doesn't just exist here; it's pretty much the same all over the world... It's just that the Goa Kingdom does it even more crazy and extreme. I'm just a Grand Inspector; you want me to change the whole world? That's a bit too much to ask!"
“But isn’t this kind of kingdom wrong? Isn’t it strange…” Sabo had an extraordinary way of thinking!
It's like a ray of light suddenly bursting forth when the darkness is at its deepest!
Every era, when it reaches its darkest hour, will always give rise to such people!
“That’s not right… Let’s stop here for today. You’re too young to see too much at once, and you might not be able to handle it. But it’s foolish to look at the world with only one perspective.”
At this moment, it wasn't just Sabois!
Rather, many people, including top experts, learned a good lesson from Renn!
"I...we understand..."
After saying that, Ryan left!
A few people remained, deep in thought.
"Is this how it is all over the world? Then leaving this country is just like falling from one vortex into another..." Sabo stared in the direction where Rein had left!
He was extremely unwilling to accept it! He realized it!
Perhaps I can't truly escape!
[Rocks #2: The nobles are still as disgusting as ever! Especially in this country, it's even worse!!]
[Smoker #2: If all nobles are like this, how can you blame the increasing number of pirates on this sea? They can't survive! What else can they do but be pirates?!]
Smoker used to hate pirates and dislike the bureaucratic style within the Navy!
But compared to this nobleman who is already mentally unstable and gives off a creepy feeling!
