The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 744 I'm not afraid of monsters, I'm afraid of people.
"The lowest price is three million, and the usual price is around four million, but the highest I've seen is seven and a half million spirit stones."

Lin Chen's eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "So expensive?"

Sun Wang laughed and said, "Perhaps its cost is not high, but it is rare in the market. There are many people who want it, and the supply cannot meet the demand. Among them are many rich people, so the price is naturally driven up."

Lin Chen was immediately embarrassed.

I only have a little over two million spirit stones in my pocket right now, which is less than the historical low of three million.

Lin Chen smiled wryly and frankly admitted his poverty: "It's so expensive, even if I found it on the black market, I couldn't afford it."

Sun Wang chuckled and said, "It's normal that you didn't inquire about the price beforehand and weren't prepared. How many spirit stones do you have now?"

Although it's said that one shouldn't flaunt their wealth, two million spirit stones isn't a small amount, but it's not an excessive amount either, so Lin Chen answered frankly, "Around two million six hundred thousand."

Sun Wang laughed and said, "That's quite a lot. Let's see. Whether they have it or not is another matter. If they do, and there's no competition, it's not impossible to buy it. And if you have other valuables, you can sell them on the black market right there. If the deal goes through, you only need to pay some handling fees."

"Even if we don't buy it this time, I'll take you around to familiarize yourself with the place. The black market is held regularly. If you stay in Lion City, you can go by yourself whenever you have time. At most, you'll stay a bit longer, and you'll eventually have a chance to buy it."

Lin Chen thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Sun, for showing me the way."

Sun Wang laughed heartily: "It's nothing. Like I just said, people like us rely on making more friends. If you or your friends have any business in the future, you can come to me. We can all make money together."

After the dinner ended, Lin Chen insisted on paying the bill, and Sun Wang didn't refuse, readily saying that he would treat everyone the next night.

The airship traveled for two days before arriving at Lion City.

"The black market event is tomorrow night. You should rest in the city for the day, and I'll take you there tomorrow."

"it is good!"

After exchanging contact information, Sun Wang left.

When Lin Chen arrived at the inn recommended by Sun Wang, he discovered a row of huge sheds behind the inn, which turned out to be sheds built specifically for demonic beasts.

Lin Chen tossed a spiritual herb to Longlong to comfort it.

This place is unfamiliar to everyone and is also the territory of the Immortal Beast Sect. Lin Chen is not comfortable leaving it outside the city. What if it is discovered, killed, or captured?
This is the territory of the Immortal Beast Sect. It's normal for monsters to appear in the city. Haven't you noticed that even the inns have specially reserved resting places for monsters?
Lion City was at least twice the size of White Wave City and much more prosperous. Lin Chen wandered around the city for a while before returning to the inn.

There were countless magical artifacts and treasures, as well as countless medicinal herbs, but Lin Chen didn't buy anything.

He doesn't even have enough spirit stones to buy a beast-taming bag right now, so how could he dare to buy anything else?

The following evening, Lin Chen received a message from Sun Wang saying that he was waiting for him outside the West Gate.

Lin Chen arrived outside the West Gate and met Sun Wang. "The black market is about to open, let's go."

Sun Wang led the way, but they were heading out of the city.

"Mr. Sun, is the black market outside the city?"

Sun Wang smiled and explained, "The city is the territory of the Immortal Beast Sect. If we openly and regularly set up a black market within the city, wouldn't it be easy for the Immortal Beast Sect to notice us? So we usually set up the black market outside the city, and the location changes every time to avoid being discovered..."

Lin Chen didn't move: "It's not safe outside the city. I'll take Longlong with me."

Sun Wang's expression was slightly unnatural for a moment, but it was concealed by the night: "No need to bring them, right? It's just near the outskirts of the city, not far from the city, there won't be any powerful monsters there."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of any powerful monsters. I'm afraid of the people who participate in the black market. In this desolate wilderness, if anything goes wrong, they could just kill me without anyone knowing. It's better to be careful."

Before Sun Wang could say anything more, Lin Chen had already taken out his bone flute and started playing. The sound of the bone flute carried far and wide, and Longlong, who was originally in the inn, jumped up and quickly came to Lin Chen's side.

Sun Wang laughed and said, "It's fine to bring it, but you can't bring it into the black market. There are regulations in the black market."

"Regulation?"

Sun Wang explained, "For the safety of our guests, monsters are not allowed to enter the black market."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Okay, I'll have him stay nearby."

Sun Wang nodded and said no more.

After flying for several dozen miles, Sun Wang pointed ahead and said, "The black market is just ahead. You can leave your demon beast here."

"it is good!"

Lin Chen walked up to Longlong, whispered a few words, and then patted its head. Longlong obediently landed in the woods below.

Lin Chen turned around and smiled, "Alright, Mr. Sun, let's go."

The two flew a few more miles before Sun Wang stopped and pointed to the valley below: "It's right here."

Lin Chen looked around at the completely quiet valley below and asked in confusion, "It seems like no one's here."

Sun Wang pointed to the mountain wall not far away: "It's inside a cave. It certainly wouldn't be so swaggering around outside. What if someone sees it? Come with me."
