Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 713: Chapter 713: National Demon Sprite (4)

Yu Su, though he didn’t recognize Demon Hunters, knew where to find them.

After all, if you didn’t thoroughly understand the Demon Hunters around here, you’d never know when one might catch you.

Yu Su and his followers huddled in a corner.

As they watched the Demon Hunter pinned to the ground by Chuzheng, the three demons shivered together.

She was damn vicious.

Even Demon Hunters were no match for her.

This was probably what they call a Great Demon.

”I really don’t have it...” the Demon Hunter screamed in pain, his face losing color, ”inner cores aren’t that easy to come by.”

This demon had burst in suddenly, without a word, and just threw him to the ground.

And now she was demanding his inner core...

He coveted an inner core himself.

”Where can I find one?” he had intended to return and beat up that tavern owner, but this was damn troublesome too.

The Bastard obviously had money to burn but claimed I was spending it wrong.

”I...”

Crack—

The Demon Hunter’s arm was crushed with a crack, and he was in so much pain that he almost passed out.

”The black market, you can find them on the black market,” the Demon Hunter dared not play tricks again: ”Many Demon Hunters take inner cores there to sell for high prices.”

The inner cores there could only be looked at, their prices were exorbitant.

The black market?

Chuzheng let him go, looking thoughtfully at Yu Su.

Yu Su: ”...”

What the hell! What does she want now?!

Yu Su felt like his demonic soul was about to be scared away.

He had truly made a mistake.

He would never again borrow a phone to play games.

-

The black market.

This place was known to both the Monster Alliance and demons, frequented by humans and demons alike.

There was an unwritten rule in the black market: no fighting or brawling allowed.

Any grudges had to be taken outside the black market.

This was a rule upheld by both humans and demons, to ensure everyone’s safety here.

If anyone broke it, before even fighting, they would face opposition from both humans and demons in the market.

This was probably when humans and demons were most united.

Of course, once outside the black market, enemies remained enemies, and life-or-death struggles would still be just that.

Before entering, Yu Su had Chuzheng use demonic power to cloak themselves.

Seeing Demon Hunters was one thing, but letting the hunters see their faces would be bad.

Yu Su had heard of the black market, but this was his first visit.

As a minor demon, he dared not come to a place where he might encounter Demon Hunters at any turn.

The street was somewhat old, lacking any eerie or weird atmosphere. In fact, it was no different from a normal street.

The only difference was that upon entering, Chuzheng could sense a strange Monster Qi.

This Monster Qi protected the place, likely making it invisible to common humans.

Chuzheng eyed the items on a roadside stall: ”Even selling your own kind?”

Yu Su crossed his arms, shivering whenever someone passed by.

Hearing Chuzheng’s voice, he followed her gaze: ”What’s wrong with that? Demons are naturally inharmonious. If a demon is killed, taking its remains to the black market to make money, what’s the issue? Demons are also short on cash.”

In this society, a demon can’t get by without money.

Chuzheng: ”...”

Truly horrifying.

Not only preyed upon by humans but also by their own kind.

Is being a demon really that hard!

”The auction house!” Yu Su pointed to a sign up ahead: ”We’ve arrived.”

According to that Demon Hunter, if you wanted to buy an inner core, the best place was the auction house at the black market.

Demon Hunters always liked to auction their inner cores here.

”Invitation.”

The auction house staff blocked their way.

Yu Su: ”...”

Chuzheng: ”...”

What invitation?

-

Five minutes later, Chuzheng entered the auction house with an invitation in hand, while in a corner behind the auction house, a Demon Hunter with a bruised and swollen face crouched in the corner, silently crying.

The auction house was divided into several auction halls.

Once inside, guidance was provided, and one could simply head to the designated hall to auction whatever they wished.

”You two have come at just the right time, there’s an inner core auction today.” The receptionist checked the invitation, ”Are you sure you want to bid?”

”Hmm.”

The staff said, ”Alright, you’ll need to pay a deposit first.”

Chuzheng looked at him.

The staff voluntarily explained, ”Rest assured, if you win the bid, the deposit will automatically be applied to the auction price. If you don’t win, the deposit will be refunded in full.”

”How much?”

”Two million.” The staff said with a smile.

”...”

This was a way to exclude certain people even before the start had begun.

For instance, poor demons like Yu Su, who was right now gaping in disbelief, ”That expensive?!”

”Expensive?” A voice came from behind, ”That’s the lowest price; we’re bidding for inner cores here, two million just gets you in to take a look. Are you coming in or not? If not, don’t hold things up.”

Yu Su detected the mocking in the other’s tone, and the demon’s temper was naturally short, immediately retorted discontentedly, ”What’s with your tone?”

A man stood behind them, radiating Monster Qi, currently wearing a mocking smile, ”If you’re not entering, don’t hold me up, okay? Loser, country bumpkin.”

Loser?

Country bumpkin?

Yu Su subconsciously looked himself over...

The man gave Yu Su a disdainful look and stepped past them, ”Give me a private room upstairs.”

”You’re a demon?”

Chuzheng suddenly spoke up.

”No shit.” The man rolled his eyes.

”Even demons should understand the rules.”

”????”

The girl’s long legs swept over, and the man, unable to dodge in time, took a solid kick.

When demons take human form, their body structures are the same as humans, and Chuzheng’s kick hit the man in the lower half, causing him so much pain that he couldn’t straighten his back.

”You... you dare to hit people here?” The man, enduring the pain, glared at Chuzheng furiously.

Chuzheng asked expressionlessly, ”Are you human?”

I just hit you.

What can you do about it?

”This is the black market, you dare to start a fight, just wait to be expelled!” The man threatened angrily.

Chuzheng stepped forward two paces, and under the watchful and wary gaze of the man, quickly pinned him against the desk in front of the staff, where the man, with his face pressed against the cold surface, was unable to move.

”Stop! What are you doing?”

Several men dressed in the auction house uniform rushed out.

”She... she was the first to hit, hurry up and kick her out!” The man immediately cried out.

Chuzheng pressed his head down, the cold words crashing into the man’s ear, ”Speak nicely.”

The man seemed to sense something and his face, which was previously flushed due to the pain, turned pale in an instant.

”Let him go, fighting is forbidden here!” The people from behind shouted.

The man waved his hand, ”No problem, no problem, we’re just... just fooling around, playing.”

Chuzheng released him but kept her hand on his shoulder, the man clinging to the desk, his legs trembling slightly. He swallowed hard and told the staff, ”We were just playing around, it’s all good.”

The staff clearly looked skeptical.

But as long as there wasn’t an actual fight, they wouldn’t be too concerned.
