Netherworld Retrograde

Capítulo 1016: Chapter 488:

Partners in justice? That’s ridiculous.

Wang De used to mock such people vehemently, for their existence made him uneasy.

Then, he died.

“This time, I’ll play the busybody as they wish!”

….

On the other side, inside the trading room of the gathering area.

The middle-aged man seated at the head slightly frowned, “How long has he been gone?”

“Almost twenty minutes.” A subordinate whispered in reminder.

“Looks like he’s run into a tough one.” The middle-aged man had a somewhat grim expression.

At his gathering area, a trader’s ‘goods’ were stolen, and he sent a Spiritual Ability User. It’s been almost twenty minutes, and that ‘goods’ hasn’t been brought back.

Clearly, he’s encountered some trouble, or might have already been taken out.

For such a thing to happen within his control… It’s a challenge to his authority!

Someone in this area dares to do this?

Just secretly taking away three people yet managing to defeat his subordinates.

It must involve another Spiritual Ability User, and the level shouldn’t be too high, nor the numbers too many. Otherwise, they wouldn’t just rescue three people…

Could it be a problem with the goods?

“Your goods aren’t from the Giant City, right?” The middle-aged man looked unfavorably at the convoy representative.

If they’re from the Giant City, the trouble might be significant. Who knows if these ‘goods’ have connections to some big guilds or Spiritual Ability Users.

The probability is small, but it’s possible.

The convoy representative’s face changed slightly, shaking his head: “Rest assured, it’s definitely not brought by me. My goods are all from the wilderness. Some were even volunteered by their parents.”

“Then it must be some interfering folks, could it be a Wilderness Ranger?” The middle-aged man frowned, looking at the Black Robed Man: “If it’s a Wilderness Ranger, we’ll have to endure the loss.”

“No way, just three less. I’ll deduct the corresponding reward.” The Black Robed Man said.

This made the middle-aged man and convoy representative somewhat pained.

Trading with the Black Robed Man yields great profits. Be it magic potion or extraordinary ore, once sold, it’s a lot of money. Who doesn’t like earning more?

At this moment, another subordinate stepped forward and whispered in the middle-aged man’s ear.

This caused a slight change in the middle-aged man’s expression.

“What, did you find the person?” The Black Robed Man asked.

“No, the sentry saw two scavengers, a man and a woman. They weren’t driving, walked out from the forest, seemed to enter the gathering area.”

“Is that unusual? There are many lone wolves among scavengers. No car, maybe the vehicle was damaged.” The convoy representative asked.

“But they… are carrying my subordinate’s weapon. A D-grade equipment…” The middle-aged man’s expression turned cold: “Looks like I’ll make my subordinate pay for dealing with them.”

“Not leaving, but rather coming straight to us?” The Black Robed Man sneered: “Do they want to negotiate with you?”

A Third Awakening Spiritual Ability User is quite valuable. They might use this as leverage.

“Maybe? I’ll go handle this first.” The middle-aged man stood up, being the strongest in this region. He really wanted to see what kind of trick they had up their sleeve.

“Let’s go together. I’m curious where their boldness comes from?”

A group of people went up to the rooftop of the gathering area’s hotel, overlooking the direction of the gate.

In the wilderness, a young couple approached the gate.

Under the spotlight, everyone could clearly see their attire.

That was indeed a scavenger outfit, looking rather outstanding for their age.

The man was tall and handsome, the woman beautiful and delicate.

Among them, the man was carrying a long, black blade.

That was the Wild Spirit Ability User’s weapon, a D-grade Spiritual Ability Equipment.

This kind of weapon is quite rare in the wilderness. It was a trophy from a certain action by that Spiritual Ability User.

Looking at the man’s weapon, the middle-aged man sneered: “They make quite the couple. Their perfect appearance proves they do have good skills.”

In the wilderness, an overly exceptional appearance attracts malicious gazes.

If they weren’t strong, they’d have been consumed clean already.

“Some might have certain strengths, fancy themselves as justice bringers. But in the end, they’ll pay the corresponding price.” The Black Robed Man’s laugh carried malice, as if recalling a pleasant memory.

“There seems to be no Spiritual Barrier… trying to hide their strength? It’s a smart move.”

“They better have some skills, otherwise.” A Wild Spirit Ability User sneered: “Or I’ll break the man’s limbs, and mess with his woman in front of him. Let them witness the wilderness’s harshness.”

“Surely they aren’t just two people, their companions should be in hiding.” A Wild Spirit Ability User reminded.

They were right. While their attention was drawn to the gate, Ye Boshou had quietly ambushed around.

Meanwhile, outside the gate, Li Yelai and Cheese were blocked by armed guards.

At the same time, the machine gun from the elevated platform at the entrance was aimed at them.

Li Yelai raised the black long blade and said: “I’m here to trade. Everyone, please lower your weapons.”

The guards looked at each other, unsure whether to let him enter the gathering area.

If he’s a Spiritual Ability User, if he truly charges in, they really couldn’t block him.

At this moment, a Spiritual Ability User descended from the sky, landed atop the gate, calmly asked: “Young man, what do you want to discuss?”

“I have a Spiritual Ability Equipment here and captured a Spiritual Ability User. I want to use this for a trade…”
