Xue An smiled, "Is it really worth sacrificing yourself just to kill your enemy?"
Zhuang Linyan replied without hesitation, "It’s worth it!"
Xue An nodded and suddenly asked, "Do you know about the auction?"
The rapid shift in topic startled Zhuang Linyan, who then nodded, "Of course I know!"
"Tell me about it!" Xue An said with keen interest.
Although unclear why Xue An was so interested in this auction, Zhuang Linyan answered honestly.
"A trade fair is held annually in Qingshi Cheng, where hunters from various wildlands, bosses from mining areas, and even some lucky ones who discovered Ancient Ruins come to trade!"
Xue An already knew this, but then Zhuang Linyan’s tone changed, speaking gravely.
"But that’s just the surface of the trade fair! The real essence lies within the Inner City, where a secret auction is held that day, showcasing real masterpieces!"
"Oh? An auction?" Xue An’s eyes lit up.
"Yes! And sometimes high-ranking alchemists appear at this auction! Prominent figures from various factions will gather there!"
"Listening to you, it seems you’ve attended it before?" Xue An chuckled.
Zhuang Linyan showed a hint of sorrow, lowered her head, and said sadly, "When my brother was alive, I attended the auction with him once!"
"Alright! I can agree to the transaction you mentioned earlier, but the condition is that on the day of the auction, I want to be present in the arena. Do you understand this?" Xue An said calmly.
Zhuang Linyan was taken aback, clearly not understanding why Xue An wanted to do so, but she quickly recovered and nodded heavily.
"Alright! I promise I can do it!"
After Zhuang Linyan left the small building, her subordinates, who had already sealed off the entire street, hurried to meet her.
"Sister Zhuang, are you alright!"
These subordinates were very worried because Xue An’s displayed strength was evident, and Zhuang Linyan going to meet him alone was understandably dangerous.
Zhuang Linyan shook her head, "I’m fine! Is there anything unusual?"
"Sister Zhuang, rest assured! The entire street is our people now, and no news has leaked!"
Zhuang Linyan nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the blood-stained street and said solemnly, "Clean this place thoroughly, not leaving a single trace of blood!"
"Yes!"
"Also, spread the word that the Blood Wolf Gang’s Deputy Sect Leader Hei Dao went to our bar to drink and enjoy himself and is now dead drunk!"
The subordinates exchanged glances, immediately understanding, and nodded in agreement.
"Understood!"
"Go, make it convincing, and don’t let outsiders suspect!"
Very soon.
The entire street was meticulously cleaned, and the bloodstains disappeared quickly under the wash of clean water.
Then this heavily guarded street gradually returned to calm.
Zhuang Linyan personally inspected it again, and only then did she leave with satisfaction.
She was very busy now.
Regardless of strength or degree of cruelty, he was terrifying enough to make one tremble just thinking about it.
So even though it was early before Severus’s arrival, Moritz had already come to the bar entrance to wait.
And his terror also affected everyone in the Violent Bear Bar.
No one dared to speak; everyone stood honestly behind Moritz, waiting for the Night Watchman’s arrival.
Finally.
Amid a continuous shriek, a peculiarly designed aircraft rushed out of the darkness at high speed, arriving at the front of the Violent Bear Bar.
As soon as the aircraft stopped, Moritz hurriedly approached.
Meanwhile, the door of the aircraft was also opened, and from it descended a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, hair neatly combed, with a pallid face.
This middle-aged man had an elegant demeanor, akin to a proper butler, holding a black leather case, looking more like he was on vacation.
But upon seeing him, the fat on Moritz’s face trembled incessantly, and he lowered his head in terror, speaking tremulously, "Moritz, at your service, Lord Severus!"
The middle-aged man displayed a smile!
It was strange, as soon as he smiled, the previous elegance and composure vanished instantly, and his whole being seemed to transform into a brigand in the dark, face full of maliciousness and arrogance.
Then he stretched out his right hand, wearing leather gloves, and lightly tapped Moritz’s head.
"Moritz, you’ve gotten fatter! It seems the boss has had you living too comfortably here!"
With each tap of his hand, Moritz’s body would tremble violently, and he forced a laugh, "Yes, yes, Lord Severus, I’ll definitely lose weight!"
"Very good! I hope that the next time I see you, you’ve slimmed down, or I’ll have no hesitation in slicing off your fat face to make a toilet seat!"
