Chapter 357: What Are You Looking For?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It took about one hour by train ride to get to Mianchi from Luo Cheng via Lianhuo Railway, but under the earth Anthony was much faster than cars.

The entire underground was his designated path, smooth without any red lights.

Anthony only needed around twenty minutes to cover the distance of an one-hour car ride. But Lu Xiaoyu did not instruct him to steal anything at first. After successfully locating the black market, Anthony lurked deep underground, awaiting further orders.

She was following Lu Shu’s words, which had only two lines. Do nothing except stealing, and only take action at night. Hence, Lu Xiaoyu had to wait until nightfall.

The Mianchi black market was a refuse treatment plant. Despite its smell, it was rather favored by its customers due to its concealed position.

But outsiders rarely went deep inside, as the interior had been re-designed into a maze with underground tunnels.

The plant gradually quietened down after the onset of night, and only a dozen people were still playing cards in the innermost factory room, the most secret corner. Under usual conditions, no unauthorized personnel were allowed to enter there, except introduced black market customers.

Of course, the private place also made it easier to deal with their victims.

In the beginning, the establishment of the black market was by pure coincidence as the young director of the refuse treatment plant had awakened to his power. With prior experience in usury and over twenty fellows working for him, the director decided to let go of his past wrongdoings and started operating the plant.

To tell the truth, this bunch of people were generally blessed with good aptitudes, and out of the twenty, two were actually awakened. At that time, the director got a wicked idea. With capital in his pocket, coupled with market demand for magical stones, they wanted to buy some stones and resell them at higher figures.

There was indeed a seller on the Golden Foundation. However, their meeting at the treatment plant ended in a disagreement over the price, and the seller was killed during the conflict.

Therefore, the two magical stones fell into their hands, and were sold at 130 thousand yuan each.

The ease of making so much money aroused the director’s interest.

Human greed was limitless. After the first time, it became hard to stop. Moreover, their minds were already distorted by their past experience in usury.

Compelled by immense profits, they started their black-hearted business. They would not kill all their customers anyway, so as to sustain their operation of the black market.

But in the case of fat cats, they would not stop until they robbed them all.

In fact, it was unlikely for them to make a huge fortune in this half a year, but they had made at least three to four million yuan. Moreover, the environment controlled by the Heavenly Network was definitely not favorable for them.

The profits, however, were like a magnet to other Metahumans in the gray areas, coming to work for the director as his fighters.

After dinner time, they started playing mahjong, with empty beer bottles rolling on the floor. Now, all of them had some money to spare, hence they were more generous with their bets. It was because the director did not keep most of the profits to himself, which meant his followers had reaped some sort of harvest as well.

For them, money came too easily, so it flowed out of their pockets equally easily too.

As the saying goes, if money is not earned lawfully, it eventually goes back to the public.

But the third industry in the region indeed flourished thanks to them. Now, women in the service sectors loved to accept their business…

One person lit up his cigarette as he was playing mahjong, “I heard that something’s up in Gongyi. Do you know?”

“Yeah. All of them got killed and everything is gone.”

“We’ll be safe, won’t we?”

“What can happen to us? Who can find such a covert hiding place? In the past, only those brought in by three introducers were allowed to come in here. But they are different. They let their guard down. No black market can operate like that.”

The young director sneered, “It’s called karma. I heard they even carried off girls from the streets. Good-for-nothings. What about us? We make money secretly. Those things won’t find us. Also, we have so many brothers, who are we afraid of if it’s not the Heavenly Network? Wanna try their luck? Ask my sword first!”

His pride came from his weapon, a standard sword of the Heavenly Network that he got by chance. At first, he was not bold enough to accept it, but the sheer power of the sword made it hard to resist.

His ego seemed bigger with that sword by his side.

Hearing the director’s words, everyone burst into laughter, “Continue with the mahjong! I’ve got a date with Xiaoliu later.”

“You can die along side women, haha!”

“What do you understand! It’s called free love!”

The laugh grew louder.

At that moment, a black shadow rose above the floor besides them, giggling…

Bloody hell, it was creepy. Although over half of them were Metahumans and even those who were not had already gotten used to strange happenings, it was such an eerie sight to see a silhouette coming out from the ground…

Trembling, they motioned everyone to look at it, and all sound drained from the place.

But the black shadow only shot them a glance and started searching the well-lit room as though no one was around.

“Did it not see us?” someone muttered.

“Such arrogance?!” everyone was in shock. There were so many people sitting here, do you not see us or do you think we cannot see you?! You have made yourself comfortable, haven’t you?!

Of course, Lu Xiaoyu could see them through Anthony. But Lu Shu had only instructed her to wait until nightfall and steal! Nothing else!

The director could not help but ask, “Hey, bro. What are you looking for? Do you need a hand?”

Anthony suddenly turned to them, his Deep Sea White Sand bracelets decomposed into a hovering line of words besides his hands, “Where are your magical stones and weapons?”

The words were a bit small, but the director’s guts were not. He knew well that it might be an earth-type Metahuman, but judging from their utter numerical superiority and the inherent weakness of the element earth, they were clearly more advantaged.

Upon a closer look, the man found it irritatingly hilarious. Then, studying Anthony more carefully, he was stunned again, “What are you giggling for? Did you get some bull shit?!”

Giggling?! Lu Xiaoyu was still in a fit of anger and the word successfully provoked her again! How would it have happened had it not been Lu Shu?!

In the next instant, the cement floor of the room suddenly softened into gray sandy soil and, like countless palms, it grabbed at all of their ankles!
