Chapter 251 244 Emancipation of a Slave

The cat-girl Lingdang and her companion, Walnut, who were already standing in the corner, weren't as scared anymore. Instead, they were now looking at the aliens shuffling into the grand hall with curiosity. Lingdang had been taken from Feiju Star, put into a closed prison, and had never really had a chance to look at the universe, nor seen other aliens beside the Teizene people.

"Walnut, look, those guys have horse faces, and it seems like they're weeping," Lingdang said, tugging on Walnut's clothes.

Walnut, who was slightly older than Lingdang, was a sisterly Feiju from Feiju Star. She took care of Lingdang, who was confined with her, like a big sister would, and patting Lingdang's little head, she said, "You've just had a full meal and got clothes to wear, and you've forgotten the danger already."

Puffing her cheeks out, Lingdang looked especially adorable, "At least these people seem much nicer than those lizard people from Teizene. They didn't hit us and they gave us food. That's right, the most important thing is, they won't eat us."

Thinking of the companions who had been devoured, Lingdang and Walnut still felt a chill in their hearts.

After all the slaves had been brought into the grand hall of the Sacred Falcon, Bai Zhongqi, accompanied by Zero, emerged from behind the hall and walked up to the highest podium.

The slaves weren't foolish; seeing a man with a military beauty by his side, followed by two squads of guards in uniform, they naturally understood that this person must be a boss-level figure.

Lingdang curiously watched Bai Zhongqi walk up to the podium, her little bottom unconsciously shifting forward in her seat.

"Ah, Walnut, look, this guy is so handsome," Lingdang whispered.

Walnut, holding Lingdang's hand, did not take her eyes off Bai Zhongqi as he ascended the podium and said, "He must be their leader, he looks very formidable."

Lingdang nodded, "I think he must be a good person."

Meanwhile, the Teizene Bibilin also extended a tentacle, tentatively observing Bai Zhongqi. Unlike the two cat-girls who are of the Primate Clan and thus had an inviting impression of Bai Zhongqi, the Teizene felt that the Primate Clan were bizarre creatures to them, just as they seemed strange to the Primate Clan.

Facing a new "master," the Teizene slaves were extremely nervous.

After Bai Zhongqi stood firm on the podium, he didn't make any other preparations or formal gestures and began to speak, "Ladies and gentlemen."

Almost all of the slaves looked at him cautiously, except for a group of fidgety dwarfs chirping and even jumping around in their seats, for their shackles had been removed.

Bai Zhongqi frowned; these dwarfs obviously lacked discipline. However, he had read some introductions about the dwarfs and knew that while they appeared ferocious and chaotic, in reality, each batch of dwarfs had a leader, even among the slaves. This dwarf leader normally stayed within the group, indiscernible to outsiders, and if this individual caused trouble, the others would join in; but if they were quiet, so were the others.

Bai Zhongqi gave Zero a sign, and the bronze-skinned beauty stepped forward, but it seemed as though she traveled more than ten meters in one stride, leaving everyone there agape. With a single hand gesture, a great force was exerted, pinning all the dwarfs down in their seats, and those who were standing were pressed straight to the ground.

"Star Warrior!" The bell-covered creature covered her cherry lips and cried out upon seeing how the new master's subordinates oppressed the slaves; her heart, which had just settled down, was once again anxious.

The tall Tians next to her and the horse-faced people were even worse off; on one side, all of them retracted into their shells, while on the other, they sobbed non-stop.

The perceptive Zero immediately noticed that the gazes of the over two hundred dwarfs present were all directed at two of them—this was quite telling. These two were evidently the leaders of the dwarfs.

With a mere gesture from Zero, the two dwarf leaders were struggling as they were lifted into the air. Zero did not understand the dwarfs' language, but she could transmit her thoughts directly into the brains of the two dwarfs.

Having received the powerful Star Warrior's instructions and being directly lifted out, the dwarfs, who were typically bullying in the face of weakness and cowardly in the face of ferocity, only behaved obediently when they were treated harshly. The two dwarf leaders shouted, and all the dwarfs immediately fell into line.

When Zero withdrew the pressure of her Star Energy, the dwarfs were already sitting in their chairs like a bunch of well-behaved children, not moving at all. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

Bai Zhongqi clicked his tongue in amazement; he had originally thought that the dwarfs were a difficult group to utilize, but now it seemed that if handled properly, they could indeed be valuable.

After everyone dared not make a sound, Bai Zhongqi began to speak.

"First, welcome to my warship, the Sacred Falcon. I know, under the Teizene civilization, you were nothing but slaves, even food for those Lizard People. You had no dignity, your labor was exploited, and the Teizene could take your lives at any moment, treating you like goods to be sold at will. Now, I want to tell you that having gone to great lengths to purchase you, I have no intention of continuing to use you as slaves. In my civilization, the great Earth civilization, any intelligent being who abides by the orders of the supreme governing body of Earth, the Star Alliance, and is willing to cooperate with others to create a better life, deserves the right to freedom. Here, I declare, your status as slaves is abolished!"

Bai Zhongqi was speaking in Chinese, but a system automatically translated for him, turning it into the Teizene language that the slaves could understand. His brief words left the slaves momentarily unable to accept it.

The first to react was the bell-covered creature, who excitedly grasped Walnut's jade arm and said, "Walnut, we're no longer slaves, is this true?"

Walnut, too, was brimming with tears, hardly daring to believe it.

Bai Zhongqi continued speaking: "Ladies and gentlemen, should you agree, you have the option to join the Earth Star Alliance and move to a planet governed by the Star Alliance. You will be assigned a job according to your abilities and expertise. You will work set hours each day, the Star Alliance will cover your daily living expenses, you will have your own housing, the right to receive education, and the rights and obligations to become a soldier of the Star Alliance, fighting for the freedom and wellbeing of all its people."

At this point, Bai Zhongqi raised a fist high and shouted, "Cheer for freedom, for from this moment on, you will no longer be slaves but free citizens of the Star Alliance. Long live the Star Alliance, long live freedom."

Surprisingly, it was the dwarfs who were first to echo the sentiment with excitement. The two dwarf leaders had already learned to read the room and wisely chose this moment to cheer. The over two hundred little dwarfs were hopping and jumping in their seats, which made it unexpectedly amusing to watch.

The Feiju Star people also cheered, and the cat-women's ears fluttered rapidly, leaving Bai Zhongqi astonished.

Then came the horse-faced people, these emotive intelligent beings; just a moment ago they were crying, and now they were all invigorated. It was only the tall Tians who found it hard to accept this change, their tendrils looking at one another, unsure of what to do.
