The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 1567

The burly man whipped the girl with his belt while swearing loudly in a language
Sean did not understand.

Nearby, several burly men were watching, laughing, and pointing at the girl being
beaten.

Sean's brow instantly furrowed at the sight of it

He thought Dorodo was pretty safe a moment ago, but he was proven wrong so
quickly.

Then again, Dorodo was indeed safer than Crosac but not nearly as safe as
Dragon Kingdom's cities.

At least, nothing like this would ever happen in Dragon Kingdom.

“Come on. Let's check it out.”

Sean said to Zander

Ronald glanced over and quickly tried to persuade, “Commander Lennon,
Commander Young, it looks like that girl owed those men money. That's why
she’s getting beaten. This sort of thing happens dozens of times a day in Dorodo.
We'd better stay out of it lest we get into trouble.”

Hearing Ronald's words, Sean was unfazed as he continued to stride in that
direction. Zander said exasperatedly, “Do you want us to stand by and watch that
girl get beaten?” Ronald was so embarrassed that he was speechless.

Once they arrived, Sean and Zander did not rush to help but observed the
situation first

The burly man in the tropical print shirt beat the girl on the ground with a belt
while shouting in a language the two did not understand. It was as if he was
venting his fury.

The girl pleaded for mercy as she cried. She also had bruises all over her face
and head.

“What are they talking about?”

Sean asked.

Ronald immediately replied, “The woman kept begging him to stop. It would kill
her if he continued. The guy wants her to pay him back, and it seems she owes
him half a million dollars.

Half a million!

Half a million dollars was not a small amount in the City-State Union, where
prices were about the same as in Dragon Kingdom's cities.

Half a million dollars was almost the living cost of a family of three for about ten
years.

The girl would never be able to pay back so much money.

After all, if she could afford half a million dollars, would she still be a prostitute for
a living?

“The girl said she had spent all her money to treat her mother and could not pay
it back for the time being. so she begged for some time. The man refused and
said he would sell the girl to Ucroda...”

Ucroda was the southernmost city in the City-State Union,

Of all the cities in the City-State Union, Ucroda was the most chaotic. It was
almost lawless there. You could kill or rape at will. No one could do anything to
you if you were strong.

Therefore, you could imagine what awaited the girl if she was sold to Ucroda.
Sean frowned and planned to get Zander to save the girl.

Unexpectedly, the man hit the girl in the cheek with the metal buckle end of the
belt.

The belt had two ends. There was no metal buckle at one end and a metal
buckle at the other.

The end without the metal buckle would leave a bruise on the body at most and
hurt for a few days.

However, the end with the metal buckle was different. If you hit too hard, you
might make hideous scars or even kill them on the spot.

Sean could not stand it anymore. He immediately grabbed the man’s wrist.

The girl had closed her eyes as if she were awaiting her doom.

The girl opened her eyes after the pain was delayed for a long time. She saw
Sean standing before her, and her eyes immediately glistened with tears.

“Ahh”

The man yelled angrily at Sean.
