Alice’s Despair

Seeing his approaching figure, Alice waved the knife around while screaming for help. 

"Hey! Be careful with that." The man took a step back while clicking his tongue in annoyance. 

"Alice, what's happening over there!?" 

"Mom, just stay there!" Alice shouted. 

When her eyes moved to the side, the man quickly took this chance to pounce at her. He managed to grab hold of her hand and he also snatched the knife from her. 

"Ah!" Alice panicked after her weapon was taken away. She wanted to get away, but the man firmly held her in place. "Let go of me!"

Pa!

The man slapped her face in irritation, leaving a red palm print on her right cheek. 

Alice glared fiercely at the man while rubbing her face. 

"Look at this bitch. I like fearsome women like you the most." The man crouched and grabbed her hair. 

"Let me go! I'll pay you guys tomorrow!" Alice muttered with a pained expression. 

"Do you think I'm a fool? I know what you're planning so don't even think about it! If you can't pay up now, we will take you back with us." The man stared at her in disdain. 

Alice bit her lip while glaring at him. 'What should I do?' She thought in fear. She could already imagine the hell she would go through once she was taken to their base. 

"How about this? If you let us play with you today, I will give you three days to collect enough money. What do you think?" While saying this, the man's eyes indecently roamed around her body. 

Alice felt humiliated, but there was nothing she could do. She was only a powerless woman and she also had to take care of her sick mother. 

"I will take your silence as a yes." The man chuckled with an obscene smile. He pushed Alice to the ground and disregarded her struggles. 

Alice tried to push him away, but he was too powerful. She could only cry as the man tore off her clothes one by one. "Stop! Please, I beg you!" 

"Wow! Look at this gorgeous body!" The man laughed lecherously while groping her breast. 

The men behind him also whistled in excitement.

"Hurry up, brother! I also want to f*ck her!"

"Why do you have to wait when we can do her together?" The man's words sent a chill in Alice's heart. 

"Hahaha! Good! We should enjoy this woman together!" 

"Look at her tender skin! It's making me hard!" 

Alice continued to struggle as the men slowly undressed in front of her. Her screams had already become hoarse, but no one came to help. 

"You bastards! What are you doing to my daughter!?" A furious shout interrupted the excited men. 

When they lifted their heads, they saw a middle-aged woman holding a stick. She wanted to chase away the gang members who had surrounded her daughter, but due to her weak body, she fell to the ground. 

"Mother!" Alice cried out when she saw this. She wanted to help her, but the men pinned her to the ground. 

"This is more exciting! We now have an audience! Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

The middle-aged woman was filled with despair. "Help! Please help us!" She weakly screamed as she crawled toward her daughter. 

At this moment, a figure suddenly passed by the dilapidated house. 

The gang members noticed his presence. "Can't you see that the Snake Gang is doing business here? Piss off if you don't want to die!" 

***

"My lord, we are almost there." 

Fredrinn's group had already entered the slums. Their clean garments and fresh appearance immediately garnered attention, but no residents dared to come close to them. 

While they were walking along the muddy road, they suddenly heard a woman screaming for help.

"Help! Please help!" 

Fredrinn frowned. "I don't have a good feeling about this." He immediately sped up and followed the direction of the scream. 

"My lord, I think it came from her house." Darius pointed at the dilapidated house at the end of the narrow pathway. 

"Stay here and protect Olivia! I should be fine by myself!" Fredrinn didn't wait for his reply and increased his speed. 

Darius stopped running and blocked Olivia's path. "Miss Olivia, please stay here. You shouldn't see the things in there." 

Olivia wanted to help Fredrinn, but she couldn't disobey his commands. 'Stay safe, my lord!' 

Meanwhile, Fredrinn stopped in front of the dilapidated house and was stunned by what he saw. 

Six men were pinning a naked woman on the ground. One of them was already about to do the deed, but he stopped when he noticed Fredrinn.

"Can't you see the Snake Gang is doing business here?! Piss off if you don't want to die!" 

Fredrinn's eyes flashed with rage. He unsheathed his newly bought sword and attacked the nearest man. 

[You discovered Alice! Save her and kill the criminals who humiliated her! Reward: 500 Fate Points and 3 Years of Cultivation Experience!]

Fredrinn didn't know what the system prompt was all about. He temporarily closed it since he was still in the middle of battle. 

After killing one of the men, the other five quickly backed off and grabbed their weapons. 

"Who are you?! Aren't you afraid of Snake Gang's retaliation?!" 

Hearing this, Fredrinn let out a mocking smile. "Snake Gang? Never heard of it." 

"You arrogant bastard! Kill him!" One of them shouted as he rushed toward Fredrinn. The other four also pounced at him and attacked him from different angles. 

Fredrinn calmly parried their attacks. 'They are only Body Refining stage cultivators. I should end this quick.' He thought as he began his counterattack.

In the next moment, screams of anguish echoed across the narrow alleyway. 

Fredrinn swiftly took care of the five men. He was already a Qi Gathering stage martial practitioner and his swordsmanship was also superior compared to the enemies. There wasn't even a scratch on his clothes after the fight ended. 

He then moved his gaze to the naked woman. From his inherited memories, he could tell that this was the woman who had once worked as a waitress in the Cloud Lake Pavilion. 

"Are you alright?" Fredrinn removed his trench coat and draped it over her shoulders.
