Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 296 - 282: Where Is Our Baby?

A female elf had committed suicide.

It was said that after the Slave Trading Company bought her, the president planned to make her a maid and use her for himself. But unexpectedly, the originally obedient female elf committed suicide on the spot.

Not only that, but something very bizarre occurred after the female elf’s suicide.

That was... nearly a third of the goods in the company’s warehouse suddenly disappeared.

Moreover, all the vanished items were the company’s most precious possessions.

In addition, the elf’s body was also missing.

Upon hearing this, Cage’s unease grew more intense...

"The goods disappeared? The body of the elf who committed suicide is also missing?"

He looked with some astonishment at his subordinate who informed him of this news.

The body was missing... then was it really dead or alive? That posed a real problem.

*This sounded like some kind of escape act!*

For a moment, having figured everything out, Cage felt even more apprehensive.

"That’s right..."

The subordinate responsible for gathering information hesitated for a moment, then said,

"However... it’s said that those missing items had all been touched by the seller of the suicidal female elf... as if everything those elf sellers touched just disappeared..."

"Touched? Everything those elf sellers touched disappeared?"

Cage was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, he thought of something, and his expression changed dramatically,

"No!"

"Quick! Go to the Slave Room! No! To the warehouse!"

After speaking, Cage jumped down from the chair, ignoring everyone else, and wobbled his fat body as he rushed to his company’s warehouse like the wind.

And when Cage opened the warehouse door, his worst fear had come true...

The originally full warehouse had somehow become much emptier, and the shelves labeled with the most expensive items were now bare, without a trace left...

Cage stared blankly at the empty shelves.

"Gone! All gone!"

The most precious potions had disappeared...

The boxes containing the books on making magic potions also disappeared...

Valuable metals, equipment... all gone!

Even the boxes with storage rings had become empty, not a single one left for him.

Seeing this scene as if it had been robbed, Cage sat on the ground, his face as pale as a sheet.

He was doomed.

He was really doomed this time.

With just a cursory glance, he estimated that more than seventy percent of the valuable items in the warehouse were missing!

Those were worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins!

These items were the company’s and the family’s assets, things he couldn’t pay back even if he sold himself.

This time, not to mention getting transferred back to the headquarters for promotion, surviving in the company was in question, not to mention possibly facing the wrath of the higher-ups...

Thinking of this, Cage felt a piercing chill in his heart.

A moment later, he gritted his teeth and roared in anger,

"Demacia!"

The sorrowful, despairing voice carried far and wide...

And as Cage was erupting in furious rage, the old steward rushed in from outside, sweating profusely, his face pale as he shouted while running,

"President, President! It’s bad! Those traded elves... they’ve all committed suicide!"

"Su...suicide..."

"Did they really commit suicide?!"

"Were they... really planned?"

*Had he... been duped?*

Cage widened his eyes.

In an instant, he felt a pain in his heart and couldn’t help but weep in despair,

"Oh elves! Those elves that had cost the old riches of the company to obtain! Dozens of elves! All the accumulated wealth! I have not even touched them yet!"

While crying, Cage felt the world spinning around him and fainted on the spot...

...

Eternal Era, Year 1067, January 23.

This day was destined to be remembered for life by all underground black markets and slave traders in Fengye City.

On this day, all the black market associations suffered an unprecedented blow.

The previous day, everyone was delighted by the unexpected business only to find everything altered the next day.

Massive amounts of precious goods vanished from warehouses, and exchanged elf slaves committed suicide en masse...

Many associations went bankrupt on the same day...

In a short time, the entire underground trading area of Fengye City was wailing.

"Those Southern Nobles are to blame! They must be behind this!"

"Those elves are problematic too! Their bodies disappeared entirely!" frёewebηovel.cѳm

"Dear God! Who is this ruthless person? Our association’s warehouse was completely emptied!"

"Kill them! We must kill them!"

"Damn Southern Nobles! Those despicable, shameless bastards!"

"I always knew the people of Aries Kingdom weren’t any good!"

"Why! I clearly signed a Blood Covenant! With the Evil God’s presence, it’s understandable if the soul contract isn’t reliable, but now even the Blood Covenant isn’t reliable?"

"Quick, go to the Civilian District Number 45! Someone saw those nobles heading there!"

Various black market associations and slave traders rallied in anger, heading toward the property Little Xian Miao had acquired in Fengye City...

However, when they arrived, they found the small estate already deserted.

Only in the back garden was there a Teleportation Array that had lost its effectiveness...

...

Elf Forest, Chosen City.

After all the first-test players who went to Fengye City had withdrawn, Demacia and Li Mu, who were worried that dreams might turn sour, chose to suicide return to the city early and reappeared in the square.

"Hahahahah! Brother Mu, we hit the jackpot! We really hit the jackpot this time!"

Demacia laughed heartily, full of pride.

Li Mu also had a smile on his face,

"This expedition was truly worth it!"

However, as they laughed, Demacia’s expression turned puzzled,

"Speaking of... Brother Mu, didn’t you only tell Little Xian Miao about this bug? Why does it feel like the entire server knew in no time, with over two hundred people all active, even the guy from Salted Cat and Fried Tomato went black on black!"

"I don’t know either, I clearly asked her to keep it low-key, probably she told Gugu Bird, and Gugu Bird told someone else. A secret, eh... once a second person knows, it is no longer a secret."

Li Mu shook his head.

Demacia heard this and scoffed,

"Hah, women!"

"Let’s not talk about it! Let’s not talk about it! This time we made a big fortune, need to sort out exactly what we brought back!"

Shaking his head, Demacia began to inspect the materials that had been teleported back with him.

Only, when he looked around, he couldn’t help but be stunned.

There was nothing around the two of them, not a single thing had been teleported back, except for a Lion Heart Sword lying at Demacia’s feet...

"Where’s our treasure?!"

Demacia was utterly bewildered.
