Chapter 440 A Strange Corner of the Garden
The guy on the ground wasn't moving.
"Take him away and feed him to the dogs!" A cold, harsh voice came from a distance.
Pearl realized why Chiara would rather die than live.
"Stop." A deep voice sounded in her ear.
The two men turned to look.
When they saw Giovanni, their faces changed, and they bowed. "Mr. Moretti."
Giovanni walked over and checked the unconscious man's breath. "He's still alive. Even if he were dead, you can't just feed him to the dogs. Slaves are hard to come by, and RavenWing's experiments haven't succeeded yet. We need to minimize losses."
"Yes, Mr. Moretti." They replied in unison, their earlier arrogance gone.
Pearl suddenly realized men and women were held separately in the slave camp.
Giulia managed the women, and Giovanni managed the men.
Giovanni called Louis "Mr. Mitchell." RavenWing was the master of the castle, making Louis and Carol his children.
RavenWing was the real monster.
Pearl clenched her fists.
Now that she had some privileges, it was only a matter of time before she met RavenWing.
Pearl pressed her lips together, stopping her thoughts, and said softly, "Can you take me to see Louis?"
Giovanni replied, "Mr. Mitchell didn't give such instructions, but since you have privileges, you can walk around. If you have no plans, go rest. If you do, I can show you around now."
Pearl's request was denied.
After a moment of silence, she decided. "Then take me for a walk."
"Alright."
Pearl followed Giovanni.
She noticed the area was huge, with high walls and tall trees in the yard. The branches extended beyond the walls.
Under Giovanni's guidance, she discovered another wall beyond the first, with many patrols.
Good thing Giovanni was there; otherwise, if she had tried to climb the wall, she would end up dead.
No, she wouldn't die; she'd be caught and face cruel punishments, unable to live or die.
"Are men and women held separately here?" Pearl finally asked Giovanni.
Since Giovanni was Louis's man and she had privileges, he should give her a truthful answer.
Giovanni looked at her, surprised. "You figured it out?"
Most people here were filled with despair and fear, but Pearl was sharp.
She was smart.
Maybe she had guessed some of Louis's identity rather than being told.
"Yes." Pearl didn't deny it.
Giovanni said, "For easier management, male and female slaves are held separately. The castle is large, and you can walk around. Over there is a large flower garden, and over there is where Ms. Mitchell lives."
Giovanni showed Pearl around, and when she heard it was where Carol lived, she instinctively looked over.
She saw Carol standing by the window.
Their eyes met, and Carol's gaze was sharp and venomous.
Carol never expected that after bringing Pearl in to suffer, she'd end up following Giovanni around.
'Giovanni was Louis's man and a big deal in charge of the male slaves. Now, Pearl was strolling around like she was on vacation?'
Carol clenched her teeth, her nails digging into her palm.
Just then, a message popped up on her phone.
It was from Jorge.
[Ms. Mitchell, Pearl is now protected by Mr. Mitchell's people. He even gave her a pass.]
To Carol, these words were like a knife to the heart.
Jealousy and anger flared up inside her.
She called Jorge, and when he answered, she said coldly, "I don't care how you do it, I want Pearl to suffer here!"
"Ms. Mitchell, given the current situation, I'll try. Mr. Mitchell has people protecting her, and don't forget, there's also Mr. Rossi."
Jorge hesitated before speaking.
Carol was already irritated, and Jorge's words made her angrier. "I don't need your heads-up. Just follow my orders."
If Jorge didn't comply, she'd replace him.
"Yes." Jorge replied, and Carol hung up.
Carol gripped her phone tightly, her eyes fierce.
She wouldn't let Pearl survive!
Meanwhile, Pearl sneezed several times.
Under Giovanni's guidance, she had a good grasp of the environment.
Suddenly, a hurried male voice called out. "Giovanni, there's trouble in the slave camp."
Pearl saw Giovanni's face turn cold, exuding authority.
But when he looked at Pearl, his expression softened. "I need to handle something. Feel free to walk around, but don't wander off. When you're done, head back over there."
As Mr. Mitchell said, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Pearl nodded.
She walked to the garden, where flowers of all colors bloomed.
What caught her eye was a corner filled with various colors of roses, especially the white and pink ones.
Pearl instinctively walked over.
She found it odd that such a place had a garden like this.
"Who are you?"
RavenWing's deep voice suddenly appeared, making Pearl's heart sink. She saw someone squatting on the ground, wearing a black mask.
RavenWing's eyes were filled with surprise as he looked at her. "Who are you? How did you get here?"
Pearl stood by the roses. Though her clothes were dirty and messy, it didn't affect her elegance, especially her face and eyes.
