Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse-Chapter 113: Addressing the Stadium Women
The next day...
On the previous day, Muku and the girls returned to the mansion. Any further matters were put off until they had fully recovered. Which ended up taking longer than everyone thought. So they could only return to the stadium on the next day.
Which was where they were now, early in the morning. In front of them stood more than a hundred women wearing rags with malnutrition bodies. They were the same ones from the day before but unlike the dim look in their eyes the previous day. This time their eyes were filled with hope and reverence.
Although they had not seen the battle between Muku’s group and Ares. They had seen the aftermath and they were awed. They felt like Muku’s group weren’t humans but demigods who had come to save them. After all, how could humans do such damage? They felt so reverend that they decided to dedicate their lives to Muku’s group and threw away any ideas of suicide they might have had.
It was definitely a weird turn of events that shocked Muku’s group, but after thinking about what the women had gone through. Maybe viewing their saviours so highly was understandable.
At first, they just viewed Muku highly, but after he told them that he couldn’t have done it without the others. The women were even happier. Maybe finding out that women like them could also be so strong made them feel better. So their worship of Muku was quickly extended to the rest of the group.
Even little Elsa was added which made her so embarrassed that she refused to face anyone and stood behind Emily. After all, she knew that she wasn’t that much stronger than the women, so them viewing her so highly just felt too weird to her.
Jade, on the other hand, was so pleased that she ran back to the mansion and brought back more than fifty kilogrammes of PR1 beast meat. The others couldn’t help but roll their eyes at how it was so easy to please her. Just say a few words and she’ll basically do anything for you. It didn’t even take her long to return since the mansion had been brought closer.
Since it was already a done deal, the others also sympathised with the women so they didn’t mind Jade helping them. Emily helped in cooking the meat. The others went around giving the women a plate of meat each on plates created by Muku. Who had gone to increase the size of the little well that was dug just outside the barrier? Apparently, the barrier was cut off from the outside world. After digging just two meters into the ground, you’d reach an impenetrable barrier, unlike the one above ground.
The good thing about beast meat, especially that of higher-level beasts like PR1s, is that it could get a person into peak state within minutes. And so, by the time the malnourished women were finished eating their first hearty meal ever since the beginning of the apocalypse... Their bodies had returned to looking as good as they did before the apocalypse. Even their ruined skin from all the abuse they had endured had returned to normal. Some even cried with emotion, after all, they had lost all hope.
Now, even with all the bad memories, they could never forget. At least they wouldn’t be reminded of them by just looking at their bodies. The emotions they had long killed were starting to resurrect as they once again began looking forward to the future.
After the meal, they were all provided with water to wash their bodies. Which they did happily, even if they had gotten used to their stench, they didn’t like it. Unfortunately, there were no new clothes they could be offered, but they were happy to have gotten what they had already gotten. So they just washed their rags, and with Emily’s help, they didn’t wait even a minute before they were dry and good to wear.
"Now ladies, I’m sure you understand that in the troubled times we live in. The only thing you can depend on is your own strength. With that said, me and my team would like to help you get on that path to self-improvement. So whoever is willing to fight beasts and get stronger, step on this side, and we’ll help you," Muku, who was once again standing in front of the women, spoke with a serious look on his face.
While it seemed like he was being selfless. It was a calculated step for him and his team. Although his team were super strong and could probably take care of whatever they wanted on their own. It wasn’t a bad thing to have allies. Especially in key locations like the safe zones. A Plan B was never a bad thing after all.
It was also the main reason he had helped Tom before...then Jack after. And now with Tom gone, he had to create new ties. And these ties would be even stronger than with Tom and Jack since these ladies would owe him everything. As he would have practically made them.
Was it manipulative? Yes! Very much so! But for his girls, he’d do anything. And it’s not like the other side wouldn’t be benefitting from the deal. In fact, they were probably benefitting a lot more since Muku’s group might never need them. They, on the other hand, needed Muku’s group to get stronger at the apocalypse’s current stage, where R2s roamed everywhere.
Behind him, the girls who were confused about when they offered such a thing remained quiet. They knew that everything Muku did was in some way of benefit to them, so they never questioned his choices. On top of that, they weren’t opposed to helping these unfortunate women step on the path of evolution.
The women stood still in thought for a bit after hearing Muku’s words. Then less than thirty seconds later, all of them resolutely moved to the place Muku had gestured to before for those willing. None even hesitated. The reason is that none of them ever wanted to get into the position they were in before due to weakness. They no longer wanted to be so weak that even weak men preyed on them. They wanted to fearlessly hold their heads up high in the apocalypse just like the girls behind Muku.
"Hmm, good choice. But I have to warn you. There’s a chance you could die out there in a beast’s mouth" Muku was pleased by how all of them were willing to get stronger. But he felt that he had to give them one more chance to back off so that they would be certain of their choice.
Again, all of them were willing. The threat of death didn’t scare them anymore. After all, they had been wishing for it for a long time up to that point but it never came. So why be scared of such a thing? And even if they died, who cares? It was better to die while trying to gain strength for self-improvement than under some scummy man. Their blood was already boiling from anticipation for when they would finally get to face beasts and release all their anger.
With the improvement in their hidden strength attribute from the beast meat. They felt like they could take on anything at the moment.
"Good, good, very good. We’ll set off in two days in batches of ten so that we can protect all of you" Muku said with a beaming smile. His words made the women want to beat him up. From how he spoke before, it was like he was going to mostly let them fend for themselves out there in their large numbers. Find more chapters on novelbuddy
But now, to find out that their life was guaranteed, how could they not be poser off? Especially the ones that almost backed down, they realised that they almost got tricked into staying trash forever. They couldn’t help but give Muku a resentful look. Such a hateful man!
"Hhh?...Oh! Had forgotten about that. Well, now this is awkward," Muku, who was standing in front of the women with a grin on his face, suddenly spoke loudly in a slightly embarrassed tone. How could he not be embarrassed when he promised all these ladies enough unranked beasts to reach Rank One? When he couldn’t even find one beast for Elsa.
He couldn’t help but feel slightly resentful of Audrey who waited for him to finish his speech before reminding him. What was he supposed to do now??
"Umm, so ladies. Although we’re willing to help you get stronger. We are currently facing a shortage of unranked beasts, so it might take some time for you all to evolve. I’m so sorry about that. But we promise to stay close by until all of you are assisted" Muku spoke after thinking a bit. He had spoken in a way that basically made it the beasts’ fault for not being around.
And he even used "we" instead of "I" as to throw the girls under the bus with him if the women were angered. The ladies, of course, understood all of this and couldn’t help but glare at him. If they weren’t in a public place and she wasn’t certain that she’d lose, Jade might have attacked him on the spot for being such a snake.
"Umm, I happen to know a place where there might be more than a thousand unranked beasts". Suddenly before anyone could say anything. A timid voice sounded from within the crowd of women.
