Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+

Chapter 86

“…Yes, of course,” I replied as I tried to keep my voice from shaking.

We haven’t even gone inside yet so I knew that this was nothing. Being a dog and animal lover did not

work in my favor at all for this case because it made me feel more sensitive to what I was about to see

than normal. However, this was work and don’t people say that understanding the problem is the first

step to solving it?

Suddenly, a man with grey hair approached the gate. Rung quickly greeted the man in their local

language and the man laughed carefreely as he unlocked the gates for us and welcomed us in. Ace

and I both smiled at the man in greeting before we were led inside. There was a small unkept yard

between the gate and the main building. The place seemed to resemble more of a single-story

warehouse than a building and it was clear that that was where the dogs were being kept.

Rung continued conversing with the man who I assumed was the owner of the farm before he turned to

smile at us reassuringly. We knew that he would soon translate things to us, so we spent the time just

looking around the place. The sounds of dogs barking filled our ears even before we entered the

warehouse. I flinched at the thought of just imagining how many dogs were kept in there.

The owner opened the door to the warehouse, and I found myself inside a dog meat farm for the first

time of my life. The scene in front of me gave me goosebumps and a sense of depression like I have

never felt before in my life. Countless dogs were locked up in crowded cages that seemed too small for

them to share. Endless rows of cages lined the warehouse, and many were stacked on top of each

other to ensure that the warehouse could fit as many cages and dogs as possible. The smell was

something that I knew I would not forget for a long time even though I truly wanted to. There were This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

many staff walking around the place busy with their work of feeding, cleaning, and other activities that I

couldn’t quite comprehend.

“So, this is where they keep the dogs. I asked him and most of the dogs are captured and sold here

while they also raise some just for sale. Every week or twice a week, an agent will come with a truck to

pick up the dogs. They sell it live, none of the dogs are butchered here,” Rung explained as he waved

with his hand for us to follow him deeper into the warehouse.

I felt like I had seen more than enough from where I was standing and my feet felt rooted to the ground

as I hesitated to take a single step forward. Ace must have sensed my extreme discomfort before he

gave my hand a comforting squeeze.

“Rina…you don’t have to go in if you don’t want to. Do you want to wait outside?” Ace asked as he bent

down until his face was at my level.

I could see the care in his hazel brown eyes as his brows drew together in concern for me. Honesty, I

didn’t want to take another step forward into that place at all. However, I also knew that that was no

good. I came all the way here, I can’t exactly back out now just because I was taken aback by seeing

the harsh reality in front of me.

“Can you wait a moment please, Rung. I’ll take Rina back outside…” Ace turned to tell Rung.

I probably looked like such a fool and a coward. This is for work. I came here exactly for this. If I don’t

do this, how are we going to produce an award-winning commercial. Pain shot through my lower lip,

and I realized that I had started chewing hard on my lip.

“No! I’m fine. I’ll go in with you,” I told him while trying to keep my voice from shaking from fear.

“Are you sure?” Ace asked.

“Yes. Let’s go…” I replied before I could change my mind.

Ace seemed hesitant but decided to lead me inside after taking my hand into this. His warm hand

around mine felt comforting and I appreciated his presence close to me. Without realizing it at first, I

had probably started relying on Ace as a source of emotional support. Rung was already in the center

of the warehouse conversing animatedly with the farm’s owner. He seemed to be enjoying this trip and

this job of his a lot.

“This way guys!” Rung called out to us as he waved a hand above his head.

“Anything interesting?” Ace asked in wonder.

I pressed my body close to Ace as I tried to control my own fears. This isn’t the time to freak out, I told

myself repeatedly. The dogs in the cages barked loudly at us as their eyes stared and glared at us. It

took a lot of self-control to keep my mind from wandering into the dark thoughts that these dogs will

soon turn into meat. The thought made my body shiver. Ace must have sensed my fear because he

wrapped an arm around my waist and started stroking the side of my waist.

I turned to smile at him a little to ensure him that I was fine. Rung continued talking to the farm owner

for a little while longer before turning to address us and I knew that our briefing was about to start.

“Alright. So, there are around 500-ish dogs kept here. Every week or so they sell around half of those.

A trader will come to collect the dogs via trucks and then they will be led to a butchery sight where the

animals are processed. The meat is then distributed to various local markets across the countries

based on orders,” Rung explained without going into the gory details.
