Let them offer their loyalty

"Because this is a jurisdiction-free zone chosen by the peacekeeping forces... Firstly, it is to avoid trouble, and secondly, it is to save manpower." Miss Eiffel patiently explained: "Of course, there is also a reason why the organizers of the black market want to take advantage of this."

After all, it is a black market, and there will always be some people who want to challenge the security system of the Angus district. In order to avoid trouble, doing this can obviously prevent the emergence of some people who overestimate their capabilities.

Jonas nodded slightly, then followed the crowd towards the entrance of the black market.

Seeing this, Eiffel followed him and the two entered the entrance with the neon sign.

However, contrary to Jonas's expectations, after entering the entrance of the black market, what appeared before him was not the same slum decoration as outside, but a rapidly descending transparent elevator and an underground city that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Although it was daytime, the city underground was brightly lit like at night. Drones were hovering in the sky, and the various buildings on the ground floor were clearly visible under the cold light.

The prosperity here is not inferior to some secondary districts.

As if he had noticed the surprise of the man beside him, Eiffel chuckled and said:

“In a sense, this is the real Angus region.”

“This is somewhat beyond my expectation.”

Jonas was astonished. After all, the map of this area had never been released in the game, so he had no idea that there was such a magnificent underground city under the Angus area.

"Who is the person in charge of the Angus District?"

Hearing Jonas' question, Eiffel shook his head and then said:

"It's still unclear. The organizer of the Angus District Black Market has always been very low-key and seems to be intentionally hiding his identity. So until now, only the official people in District 25 know who the king of the black market is, and the official has never revealed his identity... So until now, the identity of the black market king remains a mystery."

"Someone has done an investigation before and suspected that the black market king was an official, but there is no evidence."

Having said this, Eiffel paused, as if he had thought of something, but did not continue speaking.

Hearing this, Jonas nodded, but did not continue to dwell on this issue.

The identity of the owner behind the Angus district is obviously worthy of scrutiny, but it has nothing to do with the purpose of his visit.

If there is a chance in the future, he wouldn't mind cooperating with the other party. After all, a place like the underground city in the Angus district... has so many things that can be developed.

While the two were talking, the elevator had already brought them to this underground city.

A masked waiter appeared in front of the two.

When the elevator descended and the door opened, he bowed slightly, stood in front of Jonas and said:

"You are the VIP who will attend the auction... I am your guide. Please follow me with the lady next to you. I will take you to the auction venue."

After he finished speaking, the people who came down the elevator looked a little surprised, and there was a bit more awe in their eyes when they looked at Jonas.

Those who can participate in the auction must be rich or noble. This plain-looking man seems to be of extraordinary status.

Jonas just frowned, and then spoke calmly:

"Well, you lead the way."

He did have an invitation to the auction in his hand. Although it was unclear how the other party had identified his identity, it was clear that their behavior was inappropriate.

Exposing one's identity in the black market is undoubtedly risky, and if the other party takes the initiative to expose his identity and there is no way to guarantee his safety, then his motives are worth pondering.

Miss Eiffel had obviously thought of this, and there was a hint of scrutiny in the look she gave the waiter.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the location of the auction. Unlike other places in the black market, the admission requirements for the auction were more stringent.

The waiter stopped at the door, looked at Jonas in front of him, bowed slightly and said:

"This is the auction site... Dear sir, I hope you can find what you want."

After he finished speaking, the door of the auction house opened. The deep corridor seemed to have no end, which made people feel a little uneasy.

Jonas looked at the waiter deeply, and without saying anything more, he walked towards the interior of the auction venue.

.....................................

"Did Miss Eiffel reveal her identity when she purchased the invitation?"

Jonas asked as he stepped on the soft carpet.

Eiffel frowned upon hearing this, then shook his head and said:

"Logically, they shouldn't know our identities."

Given the meticulousness with which Miss Eiffel handled her affairs, she would not have made such a low-level mistake. Before they came to the Angus district, their whereabouts should have been known to only a few people.

But judging from the waiter's behavior just now, things don't seem that simple.

It was obvious that the other party knew something, and various events along the way had exposed this.

In Angus District, someone was waiting for them.

Thinking of this, Jonas couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing just for buying stimulants... It seems that there will be more troubles waiting for him in the future.

Jonas has always trusted his intuition, but since coming to Angus, this feeling of uneasiness has become stronger.

——Did I overlook something?

Jonas frowned, but quickly put his worry aside.

"Do you need me to transfer someone over?"

As if sensing Jonas's concern, Eiffel asked.

"Need not."

Jonas' eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say much.

——After all, it would be bad to alert the person behind the scenes before he reveals his true intentions.

"Um.."

....................................

At the same time, in the closed room, a man holding a wine glass was lying on the sofa.

The surveillance footage that appeared in front of him was locked on a man and a woman, who were none other than Eiffel and Jonas who had walked into the auction.

The man drank the liquid in the goblet and looked at the surveillance screen with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

The old man standing beside him seemed to have guessed what his master was thinking, and asked in a questioning tone:

"Do I need to tell the Saint about this?"

“You can notify her, but don’t let her come to Angus.”

The man put the goblet aside, the screen in front of him flashed and closed, and he answered in a calm tone.

The black market auction in Angus District, those who can enter here are either rich or noble... The identity of the man who can control the surveillance inside the venue is obvious.

Obviously, he is the mastermind behind this black market.

"The spiritual ceremony is about to begin... Many people in the church have complaints about the saint's recent high-profile behavior. Mr. Charlie can try to win over Jonas Wetting. After all..."

"Kazer." The man called Charlie called the old man's name with a hint of warning in his tone.

The old man immediately shut up and said no more.

"No matter how many people dislike her, she is the only communicator chosen by the virtual world."

Charlie's tone was calm, and he looked at the old man with some disappointment:

"Before another qualified person is found, she is the master of the Void Realm Sect. Do you understand?"

"My subordinate understands."

As the times change, the Xujing Sect will inevitably become the master of District 25 and even the entire world.

It is obviously irrational to risk offending the Saint of the Void Realm Church for a consortium heir with a little potential.

After saying this, Charlie thought for a moment, and then as if he had thought of something, he spoke:

"But since he's here, it wouldn't hurt to try to contact him."

After all, he is a person whose destiny cannot be predicted, and we cannot rule out the possibility that he has no connection with the virtual realm.

"Go and find out what he wants here. Also, put the wooden sign on the auction and see how he reacts."

Hearing this, the old man seemed to have thought of something, with a puzzled look in his eyes:

"Mr. Charlie wants to...?"

Halfway through his words, he realized that he seemed to have said too much, so he immediately shut his mouth and said no more, only responding:

"I will do as you say."

.....;........................

The black market in Angus is worthy of its reputation as a place where you can buy anything you want.

After just two rounds of walking around, Jonas found what he wanted on the first floor of the auction venue.

The first layer is the free trade zone, which is somewhat similar to a commercial market.

Jonas found the sample from a pharmaceutical smuggler. Due to another effect of IIS stimulants, the transaction frequency of this banned drug is not low, but due to the high price, the supply far exceeds the demand.

“I wonder what this gentleman is buying this medicine for?”

The smuggler rubbed his hands and spoke while looking at Jonas in front of him.

He had seen many young people like this who liked novelty. Most of them were heirs to large conglomerates. There had been cases in the past where these young men had died of kidney failure due to an overdose of IIS stimulants, so he knew exactly what the other party was up to.

These people are not worried about getting into trouble because the transactions here are anonymous. Even if the consortium wants to find them, it is very difficult. So no matter how much goods the other party wants, he will agree to it... The more he sells, the happier he is. Anyway, it has nothing to do with him if anything happens later.

"It's none of your business what you do."

Jonas spoke in a calm tone and glanced at the smuggler in front of him. His calm eyes made the other party shudder.

After realizing what was happening, the smuggler felt somewhat puzzled, as if wondering why he could be frightened by the eyes of a young boy, but he still put on a smile and said:

"I wonder how much you need?"

"However much you have here, I'll take it all."

Hearing this, not only the smugglers, but even Eiffel, who was mentally prepared, was stunned.

The smuggler took a long time to react, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. After looking at the other party, he said:

“These goods are not cheap at all.”

“Just take the goods.”

The smuggler was delighted when he heard this and said with a smile:

"There are 380 boxes in total. I'll charge you 140,000 credit points."

Although I don't know what the other party wants to do with so much money, it would be unreasonable not to rip off such a big sucker.

“Isn’t it a bit too much to increase the price fivefold?”

“You can also choose not to buy it.”

The smuggler laughed, as if he felt that he had the other party under control. He thought that he would collect the IIS stimulants from other people later, as the other party would eventually find him.

It would be a pity not to slaughter this fat sheep.

However, just as he was thinking this, a dagger stuck directly into the table, which scared him.

Then he saw that the woman following behind Jonas had a bad look on her face and seemed to have murderous intent in her eyes.

The smuggler was frightened and said in a timid tone:

"What are you doing? This is the Angus District!"

Then, he saw the man standing in front of him, whom he originally thought was a fat sheep, and he said:

"Wadsworth Shandy... he must have made a lot of money from smuggling drugs over the years, right?"

"Sometimes, greed can kill you."

The man's tone was calm, as if he was narrating a very ordinary matter.

However, these two simple sentences caused a dramatic reaction.

The smuggler's pupils shrank, and the fear in his heart surged like a tide. Even when the other party had just stabbed a dagger into his desk, he was not so frightened.

You know, all transactions in the black market are anonymous, and that's why he dares to be so arrogant.

After all, no matter what the other party's identity is, it is impossible to retaliate against him afterwards.

But now, his reliance has completely lost its effect.
