Chapter 23: Black Market Auction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ye Tianyu and Li Qingqing left City H on car.

Along the way, he saw many cars driving in the same direction. Without a doubt, they were all mutants who were attending the auction.

Those people were wearing wide and long robes. Their cloaks covered their faces, making it impossible to see their appearances.

This was an unwritten rule to enter the black market.

One must know that anyone who entered the black market was either a black market businessman or a mutant with status.

The amount of transactions conducted inside was shockingly large. In order to prevent people from killing and stealing treasures after the transactions, many people who came to the black market would hide their faces.

“I didn’t expect you to look so handsome with a mask on!” Li Qingqing joked as she looked at Ye Tianyu’s skull mask while driving.

Ye Tianyu shook his head disapprovingly.

“Whether it’s the change in attire or the mask, it can only have a minimal effect.”

“After the transaction is completed, there will still be cases of people killing others for their treasures.”

“That’s right, but as long as it’s within the territory of the black market, the black market will not sit still and do nothing… but once it’s out of the black market, it’s hard to say!” Li Qingqing’s voice sounded uncertain.

There were also rules in the black market.

As long as someone caused trouble in the black market, they would be jointly killed by everyone. But if they were outside the black market, the black market personnel would not care about their life and death.

Therefore, if one was targeted after leaving the black market, one could only rely on his own strength to fight his way out or pray to God.

Of course, one could also spend a high price to hire powerful mutants as bodyguards.

Whether it worked or not depended on fate.

Li Qingqing’s driving skills were not bad. After driving for two hours, they arrived at a bustling town.

Before they even got close to the town, they felt a chill.

“This is the entrance to the black market!” Ye Tianyu narrowed his eyes.

Not far away, there were more than ten armed men guarding the entrance. All of them were mutants and all of them seemed to be of high rankings.

They found a place to park the car.

Ye Tianyu and Li Qingqing slowed down and chatted as they walked towards the town.

“The five controllers of this black market are all very powerful. It is said that there are Grade A mutants among them, so no one has dared to cause trouble here ever since the black market was established.” Li Qingqing’s voice carried a hint of solemnness.

“I also heard that because of the auction, the five controllers are all in the black market. The mastermind behind this auction might be them.”

“An auction hosted by the controller of the black market? Interesting.” Ye Tianyu’s lips curled up slightly.

Since it was an auction held by the controller of the black market, there must be a lot of good stuff inside.

Originally, he had only come here to sell the items on his hand, but now he was suddenly interested in this auction.

Soon, there were more and more people wearing cloaks and masks.

Everyone rushed towards the entrance of the town.

They maintained a safe distance from each other, appearing extremely vigilant.

There was a huge iron gate in front of them. It was about ten meters wide and there were black market guards on both sides to maintain order.

Although it was said to maintain order, the weapons in their hands and their cold eyes gave off a murderous aura.

Ye Tianyu could not help but take another look at these guards. “These people have a murderous aura around them. One look and you can tell that they are ruthless people whose hands are stained with blood.”

As they needed to hide their identities, the mutants who entered the black market did not wear any ranking badges. The guards of the black market did not have anything on them, so Ye Tianyu could not tell their capabilities.

However, he could vaguely sense that these people were not to be trifled with.

The moment they entered the black market, it was as if they had entered a whole new world.

They were surrounded by tall buildings that resembled castles.

These buildings were somewhat strange. They were grayish-white in color, interweaved with gray and white color designs. From afar, they looked like a world shrouded in shadows.

People in all kinds of dress-up walked on the streets, forming a strange scene with the surrounding buildings.

There were more than ten stalls on both sides of the street. However, since most of the stalls sold low-level items, almost no one stopped to take a look.

Li Qingqing explained softly, “These people should all be here for the auction, why would they be interested in these small stalls?”

Previously, she had been here with the elders of the family a few times and seemed to be used to the layout of this place.

“The auction will be held tonight. There are rooms nearby that you can rent. If you want to stay here until night, you can rent a room.”

As Li Qingqing spoke, she looked at Ye Tianyu inquiringly.

“Since we’re already here, we naturally have to participate in this auction.” Ye Tianyu smiled and said.

Perhaps it was because of the auction, but there was only one rental house left.

After asking for Li Qingqing’s opinion, the two rented the last room.

However, there was one thing that Ye Tianyu did not expect. The houses in the black market were not only popular but also very expensive. One had to pay 500,000 yuan to stay in it.

A few hundred thousand yuan rent was indeed not cheap. If this was City H, it would be enough to buy a good apartment.

They had reserved their accommodations. There were still a few hours before the auction started.

Ye Tianyu did not wait for time to pass. He let Li Qingqing bring him to sell his items.

He needed to sell the items in his hands in order to gather the funds needed to enter the auction.

The items at the auction this time were all very precious. Therefore, in order to prevent some mutants who did not have the purchasing ability to sneak in, they temporarily set this rule.

Li Qingqing seemed to be very familiar with this place. She shuttled through the streets, and soon, the two of them arrived at a shop that was well decorated.

“This shop had actually dared to use the name ‘Treasure Pavilion’. How arrogant!”

After entering, Ye Tianyu looked around curiously.

Strangely, there were no valuable items here. There were only a few empty shelves with a few books on them.

A thin figure was sitting on the counter beside, but he was wearing a cloak that made it impossible to tell his age and appearance.

After seeing someone enter the shop, that person walked over enthusiastically.

“Hello! May I help you?”

“Is your boss here? Tell him that I have a batch of high quality goods to sell.” Li Qingqing said with an imposing manner.

“Alright, distinguished guests, please wait a moment!”

Upon hearing that there was a huge deal, that person immediately turned around and walked up to the second floor.

Seeing Ye Tianyu’s suspicious gaze, Li Qingqing smiled awkwardly and explained.

“I’ve been here a few times with my family’s elders to trade, so I understand these cunning black market businessmen well.”

“These people are very astute, they bully the weak and fear the strong. If you don’t want to be slaughtered like a fat sheep, you need to be more unyielding.”

Li Qingqing waved her fists as she spoke. Her serious expression made Ye Tianyu blush with shame.

At that moment, footsteps came from the staircase.

“Esteemed guests, the boss asked you to come up for a chat.”

Ye Tianyu and Li Qingqing looked at each other and walked straight to the second floor of the shop.
