Chapter 118: Treasure Thief Group and Business Opportunity
Translator: 549690339
An hour ago.
Fire Code City.
Underground Black Market, Treasure Thief Guild Headquarters.
In the cold and dark meeting hall, there was a chair on each side of the square table. Behind each chair was a flag that seemed to have some kind of animal drawn on it.
The skinny man sitting on a chair with a ” crow ” flag on his back spoke first.
“Now that the portal has been opened, the villagers of Red Flame Town and the surrounding areas of the Dreadclaw Forest will be temporarily transferred to Fire Code City. What do you think?”
‘ Hmph, I’m not interested in these country bumpkins. Dead Raven, I want your Raven Clan to find out what exactly happened in the Fearful Claw Forest. What kind of disaster would make the Fire God Cult so generous that even Archbishop Maggie, who hasn’t shown her face for years, was forced to make a move. ”
” Also, when will this matter be resolved? When will Maggie continue her closed-door cultivation? Just because she, the archbishop, was alerted and came out of seclusion, the higher-ups of the Fire God Cult were all frightened. Each and every one of them told me that they wanted to temporarily stop cooperating!
“What a bunch of cowards. Isn’t it just an old woman? Look at how scared they are. They’re almost turning into cowards!
The giant man with a ” tiger ” behind him snorted coldly.
The man’s body in the shadows leaned slightly toward the table when he spoke due to his emotions, revealing his strong muscles.
However, even though he knew that the giant was angry, a seductive mocking voice still sounded from under the flag with the image of a fox.
“Tsk tsk, isn’t she just an old woman?”
“If it wasn’t for Archbishop Maggie’s closed-door cultivation in the past few years and not caring about the world, how could the Fire God Sect’s internal corruption be so fast? They could even collude with your Tiger Clan to collect protection fees.
Bang!
He slammed the table.
“Seductive Fox, what do vou mean? Without our Tiger Clan to help vou take
care of your territory and eliminate your opponents, do you really think that you can do human trafficking so smoothly?? Besides, your bars and brothels make so much money every month. What’s wrong with collecting protection fees from you?”
The burly man glared at the woman under the fox flag.
However, the other party was not afraid of being under his command at all.
“Earn that much money? Who doesn’t know that ever since the Fire Law City was sealed, my supply has been reduced by 70 – 80%. I’ve already warned those customers to be a little gentler during this period of time, but they don’t know how to be gentle with women. Instead, they’re consuming faster. If it wasn’t for the fact that I have some supplies from the city, I wouldn’t be able to continue my business.
“So, I still have to thank Maggie for opening the portal. Thanks to her opening the portal, such a large batch of goods worth more than 10,000 yuan was sent over. Black Tiger, you have to know that those poor bumpkins you mentioned are all cheap and affordable money-making machines in my eyes.” After she was done with Black Tiger, Seductive Fox turned her head to the skinny man with the code name Death Crow.
‘ Darn Crow, I heard that the other nobles didn’t go to the surrounding towns and villages to buy servants this year because of the city-sealing order. However, the Cecil family is still the same. Coupled with the fact that their servants are consumed the fastest every year, I suspect that the Cecil family is also doing that kind of business.
“In the past, I couldn’t and didn’t dare to snatch the source of goods from the Cecil family, but now, hehe…Damn Crow, I need the intelligence department of your Crow Clan to help me get the list of the girls that the Sisre family has selected for this year. It’s said that because they happened to be in time for Count Sisre’s daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony, the girls that they bought from the countryside this year are all carefully selected. I’m going to take advantage of this chaos and cut off all these goods in advance!
After Seductive Fox said that, Raven nodded. The skinny man finally looked at the person who had been silent all this while. He was sitting under the last flag with a snake pattern.
“Viper, what about you?”
‘ I, Black Tiger, the same, the most concerned about what happened in
Dreadclaw Forest. I’m now contacting Bishop Eugene and Niya. Our Snake Division’s priority now is to recover the Purple Crystal Grass that we spent a lot of money and effort to cultivate. I don’t need to explain the value of the Purple Crystal Grass in Fire Code City, right?””
“Dead Crow, I need you to send someone to track down the whereabouts of Bishop Eugenia. Any clues about her will do. Our Snake Clan will also send someone to see if we can get any useful information from the refugees outside the city.
“Alright.”
After everyone had said it once, the dead crow stood up.
” Then let me summarize. Let’s put aside Black Tiger’s matter with Archbishop Maggie for now. This is beyond the Crow Clan’s ability. However, the last two things, one is the list of reserved servants selected by the Cecil family, and the second is about the whereabouts of Archbishop Eugenia and the Purple Crystal Grass. Once there’s news, I’ll give you an answer as soon as possible.” “That’s all then. The meeting is over.”
After the dead crow finished speaking, the three leaders of the branch of the treasure stealing group also prepared to leave through the secret passage.
However, in the end, the dead crow seemed to have suddenly thought of something and raised its mouth again.
“Oh, right.”
“Regarding the foreigners, I’ve asked the people of the Rat Clan to get in touch with them. If there’s anyone that suits our Treasure Thief Group, I’ll let the small leaders of the Rat Clan absorb them themselves and try to become our peripheral members first.
“Humph, let those small fries from the Rat Clan do whatever they want. A bunch of foreigners who came out of nowhere is indeed quite compatible with the Rat Clan. ”
After the black tiger sneered, the giant man disappeared into the secret passage. The other two leaders were not interested in this either. They did not say anything and left directly.
In the end, only the skinny man called Death Crow was left alone in the empty, cold chamber.
“Trash…What?” he murmured, then shook his head.
Very soon, Dead Crow also turned into a black crow feather and disappeared on the spot.
“What exactly happened? What is the teleportation gate outside the city?”
“I heard from my brothers in the City Defense Army that there was a great disaster in the northern forest. Archbishop Maggie personally cast magic and transferred all the refugees here.
“Ah! Archbishop Maggie was still so kind! ”
“Compared to this, I’m more worried about these refugees outside the city. Don’t let these refugees enter the city. Look at their tattered bodies. They’re so dirty. Don’t bring them to us again.
“That’s right, that’s right. In my opinion, Archbishop Maggie is still too soft-hearted. Why does she care about the lives of these country bumpkins? Now that such a large group of people is squeezed outside the city and there are so many guards to take care of them, what about the security of our Fire Code City?”
“Sigh, first the city was sealed, and now there’s this mess. This year is really not going well. God of Fire, please bless us. Don’t cause any more trouble.
Outside the Fire Code City, there was a huge array of people. There was a huge portal not far from the city, and a large number of Red Flame Town refugees were escaping from the portal.
The residents of the city, as long as they were not blind or deaf, more or less began to discuss. Most of them had worry and displeasure on their faces.
Of course, there was also a small group of people who were excited and happy.
Kesley was squatting in a small alley in the city with a group of his underlings.
He heard Little Seven, who was panting heavily and had just returned from gathering information outside the city, telling him about the situation outside with a beaming face.
“Boss is rich! Now that so many people have arrived outside the city, how much money can we earn just by selling fake entry permits!
The underling named ” Little Seven ” was trembling with excitement. His voice was trembling, and his eyes seemed to be shining with the silver light of silver coins.
However, in just a second, his dream was shattered.
“Are you an idiot? The city guards have strictly stated that no refugees are allowed to enter the city. The city gates have been completely sealed off. Even if we have a fake entry permit, it won’t work anymore. Who would buy it?” Chris patted Little Seven’s wooden head in disappointment.
“Then… Then boss, are we just going to watch these fat sheep outside the city? If it really didn’t work, why not… Why don’t we use our secret passage to do the smuggling business?”
Thump!
Little Seven’s head was hit hard again.
“Do my ass! Are you crazy about money? That secret passage was dug out by us through all the hardships. We must not let outsiders know. Moreover, I think the city guards are serious this time. If they are caught, they will lose their heads! ”
“I… I just want to earn more money and prepare a better betrothal gift for Nana. Boss, you know that Nana and I have been together for so long. It wasn’t easy for her family to agree to our marriage, so I thought that I had to work harder and not embarrass Nana…”
Seeing that Little Seven’s face was filled with happiness at the mention of Nana, Chris and his lackeys behind him instantly looked at him with disdain.
They looked like they were about to get tired of hearing about this again. However, when they heard that they had to prepare a betrotrothal gift this time, the air immediately became sour.
“Get lost. My ears are about to grow calluses from hearing such trivial matters. Nana must be blind to fall for you!”
Chris kicked Little Seven.
Little Seven just laughed foolishly, as if she was immersed in the beautiful fantasy of the future.
“Alright, a fake entry permit will definitely not work. Don’t even think about sneaking into the city. It’s too dangerous…”
After listening to their boss’s final decision, the lackeys all showed bitter expressions, especially Little Seven who was more eager to earn money.
“However…” Chris’s tone changed, and a smug look appeared on his face.
“In our line of work, we have to be flexible. Previously, because the city was half-sealed, the entry permit was the most sought after. But now that the city is completely sealed, what is the most sought after item?”
Chris also tried to teach his underlings, but when he saw the big eyes of his underlings that were filled with confusion, Chris gave up.
“Idiot! Of course, it was the basic materials! There were so many of them. Tens of thousands of refugees were blocked outside the city and were not allowed to enter. What they ate, drank, wore, and slept were all business opportunities! ” After Chris said this, his underlings were not really stupid. They immediately reacted.
“That’s right…”
“We buy a batch of supplies in the city, then transport them outside the city and sell them to the refugees at a high price. This round of trading will make us a lot of money! ”
“F * ck, boss is too smart!”
“Nonsense, otherwise, how could the boss be the boss!
“With Boss’s brain, we won’t be far from the rat tribe! As long as he followed
Boss, he would definitely become an official member of the Treasure Thief
Group!
