Chapter 690: Using His Woman
"What exactly happened?" Once he was aboard the flying vessel en route to Wanjie Auction House, Li Xiaofei finally found time to ask.
Huang Dinggou replied, "The boss made a deal with Wushuang City, the leader of the Five Major Gangs, in order to raise funds. He used our Wanjie Auction House as collateral to secure a high-interest loan from them. A few days ago, the Finance Hall repaid the loan in full, including interest. Logically, Wushuang City should have immediately returned the auction house to us. However, not only did they refuse to return it after receiving the money, but they also injured the Hall Master of Finance Hall and outright denied the agreement."
"Damn, that's completely dishonorable in the martial world!" Li Xiaofei exclaimed. "Shouldn't we gather the brothers and go chop them up?"
Huang Dinggou shook his head. "The boss believes that we need to act with intelligence, not brute force. That’s why we are heading there first to assess the situation. We received word that Wushuang City is conducting illegal auctions at Wanjie Auction House. Our goal is to investigate, gather evidence, and take them down in one sweep."
"Illegal auctions?" Li Xiaofei asked curiously, "What exactly are they selling?"
Huang Dinggou lowered his voice and said, "Most likely, smuggled goods from various base planets."
Li Xiaofei’s heart stirred.
Base planets. Isn’t that just another way of referring to Earth? If Wushuang City is smuggling goods from Earth, does that mean they have connections to Eden?

Li Xiaofei had been in Chongque City for some time now. Yet, he had yet to hear any news about Eden. To avoid alerting anyone, he had never actively searched for information about it. But this seemed like the perfect opportunity. Just as he was lost in thought, his light-core phone vibrated slightly.
"Stop the vehicle." Li Xiaofei shouted, "I need to take a leak."
The flying vessel pulled over by the roadside. Standing on an overpass, Li Xiaofei unzipped his pants and let out a long, uninterrupted stream down onto the roadway below. At the same time, he discreetly connected to a private call. It was Hu Shuo, the Director of the Inner Division’s Demon Hunting Bureau.
"There's a mission tonight."
