I have a city in another world

Chapter 6887 Uneasy Parties

The practitioners in the underworld have little sense of morality; they care more about their own interests.

There's nothing that can't be sold if the money is right.

Those rat monks were even more notorious; they were the epitome of rotten people.

Trusting these guys will only lead to betrayal sooner or later.

However, there are some things that require the use of rat monks. These money-grubbing, hard-working cultivators are undoubtedly the best choice for sabotage operations.

Yves knew very well that these guys couldn't keep secrets, so he didn't reveal the specifics of the operation.

This is also one of the rules; to avoid leaks, the details of the mission are never disclosed in advance.

Accepting an unknown mission without knowing the truth will certainly involve taking on more risks.

The rat monks, with their worthless lives, believed in the principle that fortune favors the bold and would do anything for money.

They don't care much about the details of the task.

The task issuer will pay different levels of reward based on the difficulty. The highest level of task is one with no taboos. As long as the criteria are met, the rat monk is absolutely not allowed to refuse.

The extraordinary organization, acting as an intermediary, also plays a supervisory role, ensuring that the hired missions are carried out in accordance with the rules.

The seemingly chaotic underground world actually has inviolable rules, and anyone who dares to break them will surely die.

Once the news spread, all parties quickly took action to investigate the details related to this mission.

He searched far and wide for Yves's background, analyzed the feuds between various organizations, and tried to find more intelligence leads.

In fact, after the news came out, many organizations felt uneasy and suspected that the matter was related to them.

If you're always navigating the world of martial arts, how can you not have enemies? If this is a hidden threat, a retaliatory attack, it could be a catastrophe.

If you know what rat monks are, you'll know how terrifying these guys are. They are lawless madmen, a group of murderers, and a group of cold-blooded butchers.

They are elusive and have an extremely strong ability to survive; once they target you, it's a terrible disaster.

Then more news came that many mercenary groups, large and small, had received missions, which were highly suspected to have been secretly issued by a single employer.

We don't care about the size of the mercenary group, nor do we care about past rank or reputation. We just need any mercenary who can participate in battle.

In a short period of time, they managed to assemble several thousand mercenaries, but the members were of varying quality, making it a truly ragtag army.

Even so, they are still a force not to be underestimated, capable of causing enormous destruction.

Such a hasty and rushed hiring process makes one wonder if there are any hidden secrets behind this.

If these hiring jobs are all posted by the same group of people, then it can only mean one thing.

The employer is under immense pressure and needs to launch the operation soon. The target of the attack is very powerful; otherwise, they wouldn't have hired so many people.

The smaller organizations in the city secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while the larger organizations began to feel uneasy.

They must be quite powerful, with strong backing and connections; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to dominate the city.

However, he was equally terrified when faced with thousands of mercenaries and a thousand rat monks.

If they are attacked, even if their organization wins, it is estimated that they will have little chance of making a comeback.

Those despicable competitors will inevitably seize this rare opportunity and use ruthless means to take their place.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, these organizations have been recruiting personnel and recalling their elite forces to deal with potential emergencies.

The arms trade on the black market suddenly became extremely active, a phenomenon that inevitably precedes the chaos of a major war.

Those in the know are well aware that a terrifying storm is inevitable, but until the very last moment, no one knows who the waves will hit.

The city's official organizations were on high alert, increasing patrols and trying every means to gather information and find out who was causing trouble on their turf.

For the official organization, this behavior was undoubtedly a provocation and a slap in the face, completely disregarding them. The city's highest commander ordered his subordinates to solve the case within a limited time and to capture the employer at all costs.

Although no action has been taken yet, this behavior has already disrupted public order and must be thrown into prison for detention and interrogation.

Of course, he was only thrown into prison, and they dared not do anything else to avoid causing even greater trouble.

The person who could hire so many dark cultivators at great expense in such a short time could not possibly be an ordinary person.

If you anger the other party and they take a desperate, all-or-nothing approach, the damage will be even more severe.

The main concern is maintaining a good public image. Otherwise, the authorities wouldn't care about the losses and casualties of those organizations. If they were to fight in the deep mountains and forests, they would pretend to be completely unaware of the battle, even if it was a fierce and chaotic affair.

However, on the surface, one must abide by the rules, otherwise the authorities will appear incompetent and useless.

The official cultivators were also puzzled as to how such a guy could suddenly appear out of nowhere and cause such a big incident without making a sound.

If the other party manages to accomplish this, the consequences will be unimaginable, and all the official cultivators in the city will be in trouble.

To ensure the acquisition of useful information, the authorities offered a high reward, which other spiritual organizations followed suit.

Those city foxes and social rats, all sorts of people from all walks of life, have now been mobilized.

They searched everywhere for clues and looked for suspicious targets, hoping to claim the hefty reward.

Almost every nook and cranny of the city was explored, and in many places, strangers forced their way in.

In this situation, inns located outside the city would inevitably be subject to investigation.

But it was at this moment that the members of that rookie mercenary group discovered something very unusual.

Many people who passed by on the road or secretly watched from the shadows always loitered around outside the inn, but no one ever managed to get inside.

It seemed to them that the hotel had vanished and could not be found no matter what.

However, outside the hotel, there were only some newly planted flowers and plants, and no tall structures to block the view.

How could passersby not see such an obvious building?

This doubt persisted until Yves returned in disguise.

When Yves arrived at the hotel, he found everything to be as usual, with nothing out of the ordinary.

What seemed like a normal situation actually gave Yves a slight jolt; this was the biggest anomaly.

The scene before me was completely different from when I left in the morning; the vehicles had vanished without a trace, and the newly planted flowers and plants were gone.

Yves was secretly surprised, not understanding what had happened. Everything was normal when he left, so why did it become like this when he came back?
He immediately realized that this must be some kind of extraordinary disguise, to prevent outsiders from knowing the truth about the hotel.

Lost in thought, Yves recalled the flowers and plants planted outside the inn and guessed that the hallucinations he had seen were likely related to them.

If that's true, it's truly shocking.

How can ordinary plants achieve such magical effects simply by being placed in a fixed location and reciting a mantra?
Having witnessed Tang Zhen's methods, Yves found them to be perfectly normal. At first, he thought he could gradually figure out Tang Zhen's true nature, but he soon realized that this was just wishful thinking.

As he spent more time with Tang Zhen, he realized that Tang Zhen was unusually mysterious and could not be judged by common sense.

Perhaps Tang Zhen really did use plants to conceal the inn and prevent those with ill intentions from spying on it.

Yves was well aware that the city had descended into chaos after his job posting was released.

A hotel, being such a special place, is bound to arouse suspicion, but this illusion can dispel many people's doubts.

But if you enter it, wouldn't you immediately discover something is wrong and realize that what you're seeing is just an illusion?
With this in mind, Yves continued walking forward and unknowingly arrived in front of the hotel.

Then he noticed that there were several strangers in the hotel, sitting at the table eating and chatting.

The mercenary squad members, a group of elves, and Tang Zhen all vanished without a trace.
