Arthur's eyes gazed at a door that was slightly off to the side.
He might not have been able to find the door if he hadn't focused his gaze.
"Is she there?" A conjecture came to his mind.
Immediately, Arthur thought of Lucia's status as the only potential heir to the Balka Empire, although it had not been publicly confirmed.
There was no way this slave trader could not have obtained information from the Balka Emperor's second wife.
Moreover, her high status must have made these slave traders treat her differently from other slaves.
After all, she was the beloved daughter of the Balka Emperor, and there was no way they would dare torture her like other slaves.
Arthur's eyes immediately lit up, and a sly smile appeared on his lips.
"Abel, oh Abel, it seems that your future rise in the Balka Empire will be broken this time."
"There is no way you can be resurrected unless your plot armor is active, right?"
Arthur mocked Abel in his heart.
He now really felt a strong sense of hatred for Abel, the protagonist of the book.
After all, his future fate would be tragic, and he couldn't possibly accept this!
He must be able to reverse this stupid fate and become the strongest person in this world! The Elemental Lord is his ultimate goal, which can ensure he is free from this damn fate!
However, he remains wary of Abel's armor plot, which makes no sense in the story.
After all, the effectiveness of his armor plot was proven in the novel, and Arthur could have been hit by that damn armor plot even though he had stolen all of Abel's opportunities.
He wasn't stupid and had let his guard down around Abel. If he could kill Abel now, he would use all his strength to do so.
However, he knew it was impossible.
Thus, he would stick to his original plan to slowly attack the Balka Empire from within.
Lucia was the second key that he had initially overlooked.
The first key to attacking the Balka Empire was, of course, his cheap father's first wife, Vivian Balka!
Thinking of this, a sly smile appeared on Arthur's handsome but immature face. ''I'm sorry, Father,'' he said.
''If it weren't for your threats and my survival instinct, I wouldn't have thought of these terrible things.'' Arthur shook his head and sighed helplessly.
He felt that his personality was already a little out of line with his morals.
Either his feelings were a little different towards Elizabeth, his mother, or the bad thoughts he was planning against Vivian later.
"Hey, I don't feel like myself, but this has to be done."
"At least until I can control my destiny, right?"
Arthur muttered to himself, quickly pushing his thoughts aside.
His first priority was to ensure that Lucia was in the room.
After making sure that Elena was lying in a safe position, Arthur walked to the door.
He put his ear to the metal door and tried to listen to the sound behind it.
"Wooo~"
"Save me, anyone!"
"I'm scared!"
"Help me~"
Arthur heard the voice of a crying little girl, and a triumphant smile immediately appeared on his handsome face.
"Found you!"

"Cough cough"
It seems quite dangerous in the future.
