After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 47

As if hearing her worry, someone had to come and exacerbate it.

It came in the form of a plump mephitic man pompously strutting to the center.

"Then don’t stay!" He said with an arrogant smirk, looking down at the dark-skinned man missing a leg. "We don’t want poor waste like you here in my Royal Village!"

The people dutifully gave way to him, creating a clear path.

The crowd had various expressions, some were respectful, some were fearful, and some were disgusted.

No, looking closer… it was mostly disgusted.

Althea couldn’t help but wonder what this man did in these few days that got him so hated?

"Why? You think you can find any other fenced territory nearby?"

Eugene tilted his head down and he clenched his fist. "But 100 copper coins is too expensive!"

"Hmph! That’s your problem." Then he zoned in on the woman next to him. "Hello beautiful lady. My name is Bobby King, I am the Lord of this village. Yes, it means I own the village and have absolute power here."

He looked at her deeply and enticingly, and if he didn’t look so oily and plump maybe it could be considered a little handsome.

The woman who had been looking at him in distaste didn’t shut him out anymore, and Bobby took it as her softening her attitude towards him.

"This guy couldn’t even afford the daily entry fee, how could he protect you? Meanwhile I own this place and I still own hundreds of gold. Why don’t you come with me and be my wife?"

The disabled man sneered and wanted to say he’s dreaming but he saw that his girlfriend didn’t immediately reject this guy—

He paled, obviously not expecting her to consider it at all!

"Mina—"

However, he didn’t even get to finish his sentence when he was pulled strongly by an invisible force and disappeared.

"Hey, fifteen minutes is up." Bobby King laughed, then he turned to look at the woman flirtatiously.

"So… are you going to follow that loser or are you coming home with me?"

The woman’s pretty eyebrows furrowed, looking complicated, but it made Bobby King fascinated.

He couldn’t help but add more benefits. "I promise to protect your life the best I can. I can give all the basic needs, and more. What do you say?"

This made the woman pause and, after a few moments, she nodded in the end.

Althea watched as the girl followed the greasy man and sighed. While distasteful, she couldn’t blame the girl either. She only wanted to survive.

"The lord has done it again." A silvery voice sounded beside them. They turn to see pretty pregnant woman, who sighed deeply as she held her son. As she turned, she also saw Althea and Sheila. She flinched a little, startled.

Looking back at the lord and at them, she leaned down to whisper. "You should stay away from him, he is very fond of beautiful women."

The two girls nodded, and Althea looked at the fellow pregnant woman in interest.

She was a good-looking woman with coffee-colored skin, jet-black hair, and dark brown eyes. She also had sharp features, quite pretty.

"How long has this village been here?" Althea asked, looking around.
