Chapter 58: Stirring Trouble
Kai En still remembered how Qiu Tong had humiliated him yesterday and was about to teach her a lesson!
Qiu Tong did not hide or panic. When he charged at her, she just tilted her head and dodged. She grabbed his hand and easily threw him over her shoulder!
In the next second, Qiu Tong was strangling his throat!
The smile on her lips was very cold. "I just cured you and you're already repaying kindness with ingratitude, huh? Let me see how powerful you are."
Kai En found it difficult to breathe as Qiu Tong used all her strength to choke him.
"Cough cough... I...was wrong... let go, let go..."
In that instant, Kai En felt his head swell and his eyes sting, as if he were going to die the next second.
He could only beg for mercy.
Unexpectedly, even after he recovered, he was still no match for Qiu Tong!
The slaves were stunned by this scene and backed off one by one, intimidated by the murderous aura that Qiu Tong exuded.
Kai En struggled to pry Qiu Tong's hand away. "Let me go... I promise not to hurt you. I... cough cough... I respect you as my boss. My brothers will listen to you..."
From the looks of it, this person had some status in the slave den?
"Sure, you have to obey me then."
Qiu Tong had a plan and kicked him away. "But remember, I can cure you, but I can also cripple you. If you play any tricks on me, I promise you'll die a horrible death!"
Kai En's heart lurched and cold sweat ran down his back.
He could feel Qiu Tong's powerful aura. How would he dare to go against her now?
Kai En quickly adjusted his attitude. "Boss, you're so strong. What tricks will I dare to play?"
"It better be that way."
Qiu Tong had run out of patience and coldly commanded, "Now, you go and stand guard. The rest of you wait in line for treatment."
"There's one thing I want to make clear first. After I treat you guys, you still have to pretend to be injured in front of outsiders. Don't let anyone see through this."
Kai En quickly nodded. "Yes, Boss!"
The slaves soon lined up under Kai En's management.
One treated slave after another left the long line. All of them were now determined to follow Qiu Tong's lead.
"Thank you for saving us. From now on, you are our boss!"
Just like that, Qiu Tong became the new leader of the slave den!
This was all part of Qiu Tong's plan.
But on the third day, she realized that things had become a little tricky.
As there was not enough food in the basement, her special ability could not be replenished, and her ability to use it was limited. She had only treated a few people today, and she already had a headache.
Qiu Tong waved her hand tiredly. "From today onwards, we have to limit the number of people. Only 20 patients per day."
Upon hearing this, those who hadn't received treatment immediately panicked and became furious.
"What?! Are you trying to fool us? Only 20 people per day but there are hundreds of us in total. How long will this take?"
The slaves had been held here too long. Someone was being tortured to death every single day. They all feared death.
They had placed all their hopes on Qiu Tong, hoping to get out as soon as possible, but now Qiu Tong wanted to restrict the treatment!
"People are being taken away every day. If you don't treat us all quickly, what if the guards choose me?!"
"You told us that you could treat our injuries and bring us out, but it's been two days, and we still haven't been treated! I think you just want to use this gimmick to stabilize your position in the slave den, right?"
Those people stared angrily at Qiu Tong, as if she was not their benefactor but their enemy.
Qiu Tong smirked. "Tell me, what's the benefit of being the boss of the slave den?"
The slaves choked from her rebuttal. After a while, they retorted stubbornly, "You will have people working for you and serving you!"
"Is that so? In the three days that I've been here, has anyone even poured me a cup of water? Or snatched a steamed bun for me?"
Qiu Tong's gaze was cold. "Since you think that I have other motives, from today onwards, there will be no more treatment. Everything will go back to normal."
When she said that she wasn't going to treat them anymore, most people were shocked.
Even if Qiu Tong's treatment pace was slow, they would still have a chance of recovering. If Qiu Tong refused to treat them, it would be all over for them.
"What are you guys talking about! What did Boss manage to gain from you guys? She wanted to bring everyone out, but you turned around and attacked her instead!"
"Are you shameless? You want her to cure you even as you are scolding her?!"
"If you don't want to be cured, then get lost. There are those of us who still want treatment!"
The slaves who valued the benefits stood out to defend Qiu Tong, while those who were just stirring trouble immediately lost their blustering stance.
The other slaves also chose to keep quiet.
Qiu Tong took the opportunity to say, "The number of injured people is increasing every day, and new slaves are also being thrown in. I am just one person here. So I've decided to treat those who can fight and have stronger bodies first."
This would also be better for them to counterattack while escaping.
The slaves had no objections to this suggestion.
In the following period of time, Qiu Tong acted according to plan.
