Chapter 817 The Black Market

Hector was a genius.

In the City of Phoenix, although he was from the Ingram family, Hector was from a branch family. With

very few resources, he became a super expert at the age of 18. After that, in prison and on the run, he

quickly broke through to the level of Flame Decay.

From this point of view, his breakthrough was much harder than Gerald’s.

Although Gerald joined the cultivation later, he had always had someone to guide him. It took him six

years to reach the super level.

After that, Gerald got the Dragon Bone, and the competition on Earth was not fierce. He had obtained

quite a few Dragon Bones, which assisted in his cultivation.

However, Hector was cultivating on his own and did not absorb Bone of Eternity.

His way of cultivation was a bit more difficult than Gerald’s. Gerald absorbed the Immortal Bone.

However, Hector had already stepped into the level of Flame Decay in his early thirties.

Now, a hundred years had passed. If he developed in a normal way, Hector would definitely be a very

outstanding Flame Decayer. However, because of his condition, he had always been tortured by his

attributes. If he recovered, his strength would increase, which was indeed a considerable help for the

team.

However, Gerald did not trust Hector that much.

When Charles left, he also reminded Gerald.

Gerald frowned slightly and then nodded. “OK, let’s go to the black market this weekend.”

He considered it for a moment. To be able to restore Hector’s strength, at the very least, would be

beneficial for him at the moment.

No matter what Charles’ purpose was, the Four Ancient Families did not conceal their killing intent

towards him, which could be seen from the viciousness of the younger generation of the Four Ancient

Families toward Charles.

Therefore, it would be beneficial for dealing with the Four Ancient Families if Hector could recover his

health.

As for what Charles would do after that, Gerald could only wait and see.

Moreover, the Water Mushroom was not a particularly precious material. It was worth several million

golorbs. As long as Charles wanted it, he could easily get it.

Hector nodded and said, “OK, then let’s go tomorrow.”

“I’m not going there. I will stay at home and wait for you,” Jacob said with a smile.

Gerald nodded. After chatting with them for a while, he washed up and went back to his room to rest.

The night was silent.

And this night, the City of Phoenix was not peaceful. A large number of experts from the Four Ancient

Families had come out in full force. Another family had been destroyed.

But the Four Ancient Families had not found any clues about Gerald. However, the death of the two

experts impacted their prestige. Since they could not find Gerald, they had to win back their reputation

in another way.

They destroyed a family that was against them and told everyone not to hide Gerald or oppose the

Four Ancient Families. In the City of Phoenix, the Four Ancient Families had the final say.

Gerald did not take their tricks to heart at all.

After he woke up, it was ten in the morning. The group of people put on their sunglasses and masks

and set out to the City of Phoenix’s black market in the hover car.

The black market was one of the essential places in every city. This place was full of people from all

walks of life. And this was the only place that was not restricted by the number plate.

Most people walked in it with masks.

The black market in the City of Phoenix was under the control of the Four Ancient Families. It was filled

with experts, and Flame Decayers would guard this place.

When they reached the black market, it took Gerald a long time to suppress the killing intent in his

heart.

His hatred for the Four Ancient Families had reached the top. If he could, he would slaughter one when

he saw a member of the Four Ancient Families.

Although the Four Ancient Families controlled the black market, they did not violate the rules of the

black market. As long as they paid the money, they could freely trade in it.

This was the rule in the black markets. The Four Ancient Families did not dare to break this rule.

The City of Phoenix’s black market was located in the suburbs. It occupied an extremely large area. It

was different from the black market of Solein City. There were a total of five floors here.

There were numerous things to buy here.

All kinds of things, including treasures, cultivation techniques, and weapons, were for sale. There would

be an official evaluation of the black market, which meant the people of the Four Ancient Families

would evaluate things and then decide which floor to sell them on.

The higher the floor, the higher the value of the items sold.

The fifth floor was not for selling items, which was the same as Ries City. It was an auction venue that

would only open on weekends. Compared to Ries City, the items auctioned here were much better. The

starting price was one million golorbs.

As for the items that were sold at the auction in Ries City, they could only be sold on the third or fourth

floor of the black market in the City of Phoenix.

Of course, the tickets to the black market were much more expensive, which cost 500 golorbs for each

person.

Gerald and the others took a taxi to the black market. After they paid the money, they got out of the car

and walked towards the black market.

Compared to Ries City, the black market in the City of Phoenix was more crowded. Although it

occupied a large area, compared to the City of Phoenix’s 500 million permanent residents, there were

not many attendees.

There was a long queue at the entrance. In order to not expose themselves, most of the people wore

masks.

Some people weren’t afraid that they would be recognized, so they didn’t wear masks.

Gerald and his friends lined up to pay for the tickets.

Just as they were queuing up, a hover car stopped in front of them. Then, two figures walked out of the

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

hover car. They looked young, about 27 or 28 years old.

They got out of the car and did not queue up. They just walked directly into the black market.

“It’s them?” Gerald’s expression changed slightly.

Valery asked in surprise, “You know them?”

“Well, one of the missions you need to do is to deal with them,” Gerald said. “These two young men are

twins from the Guerrero family. One is called Bruno Guerrero, the other is called Brayden Guerrero.”

“What? So they are the talents of this generation and they reached the level of Half-Step Flame Decay

at 25?” Carolyn asked in surprise.

Gerald nodded and said, “Yes, they are. I didn’t expect that they would actually come to the black

market.”

“Why don’t we…” Claude slowly let out a breath and a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

Gerald said, “Let’s wait and see.”

Even if they wanted to make a move, it was impossible for them to do it in this black market. This was

the territory of the Four Ancient Families, and there were many experts here.

Triston snorted coldly and said, “This country is tolerant of martial arts. If I had always been in this

world, I would have become a Flame Decayer when I was 20 years old. With the martial arts resources

here, everyone can be a talent. They wouldn’t have been famous if I were here.”

Gerald was speechless.

At this time, other discussions rang out.

“Could it be that the rumors are true? Is that item going to be auctioned today?”

“It might be true. That is a legendary item. I wonder who the master of it is? He really takes it to

auction?”

“Will Thunder Saber be auctioned today?”

“Of course, the genius twins of the Guerrero family are here. I also saw several other experts of the

Four Ancient Families.”

The sound of discussion rang in Gerald’s and the others’ ears.

Gerald frowned and said, “What is Thunder Saber?”

Hector slowly let out a breath and said, “This is a legendary weapon. It rarely appears in public.”
