Chosen Mate of the Beastmen Empire by Lewis Reed

Chapter 190

The old woman continued, “Listen. You ate our food and drank our water all these years. You grew up in our house, so you owe us. Understand?”

She thought, ‘So what if Nyx was bought? Back then, plenty of child brides in the poor village had been bought. They all had to be grateful and work obediently for their new families.”

At first, their family bought Nyx to raise her as a child bride. But as she grew up, she became too beautiful–dearly not someone meant for a quiet, obedient life. So they changed their minds and decided to sell her off for a good price instead.

The old woman was about to start another tirade when she suddenly heard a beeping sound from the phone.

Nyx had hung up.

The balding middle–aged man heard the old woman curse and saw her furiously trying to smash her phone on the ground He quickly stopped her.

The outcome was obviously bad.

“I’ll think of something.” The balding man reassured his mother. “We’ll find a way to deal with her.”

Nyx’s ID was still in their hands, so they could use it to threaten Nyx.

After hanging up, Nyx obtained a complete recording of the call.

She submitted the recording, along with chat logs collected by the Intelligent Brain system, as evidence to the police.

Archie volunteered to drive her, tagging along like her shadow. Several times, he seemed like he wanted to say something. trying to comfort her but not knowing how. “So, you ran away from home? You really don’t have a phone?”

“That’s right,” Nyx spread her hands innocently. “I don’t even have my ID with me.”

While filing the report, she also mentioned this and requested the police’s help in retrieving her illegally withheld documents.

“If you trust me, I can arrange a lawyer for you.” Archie finally figured out how he could help and patted his chest confidently.

The Cook family had a large legal team, so they would undoubtedly handle this matter for Nyx flawlessly.

“Thank you.” Nyx solemnly expressed her gratitude to him.

As a token of appreciation, she gave Archie a warning: “You’d better withdraw from the bidding for that land in Copward. There’s something underneath it.”

This was information she had obtained from the Intelligent Brain system.

To her, Archie was a stranger she had just met. She wasn’t reckless in giving out her trust, so she had the Intelligent Brain conduct a thorough background check on him, even uncovering the project he had recently taken an interest in and planned to bid on.

The system also checked whether there were any issues with the project. To her surprise, the underground scan revealed an ancient tomb site. Clearly, that piece of land was not suitable for commercial development.

From the information provided by the Intelligent Brain, Archie seemed like a nice guy. Nyx didn’t want him to suffer unnecessary losses, so she gave him a serious warning.
