<h4>Chapter 2108 The ck Market Is Really ck</h4>


    Mag repeated what happened, adding a little salt and pepper to hype it up.


    In the end, he was only able to escape from the passionate nosy neighbors by saying that he had to go to the court to give his statement.


    There were people at court from the Ministry of Law who drank often in Saipan Tavern recently, so they recognized Mag. As Mag was rted to Duke Abraham, they did not make things difficult for him, and evenmended him after recording the statement.


    “Boss Hades, if you have any news of this case today, please contact us immediately,” the staff member reminded Mag after walking him to the door before saying, “Also, do be careful.”


    “I will. Thank you.” Mag nodded and left.


    The assant was still locked up in his attic. Mag had gotten some news about the ck market from the assantst night.


    After walking past five streets and turning into an alley, Mag had already changed into arge, burly man with a mustache.


    This was a makeup that he put thought into, code-named Kabas. Kabas was a ruthless character in the ck market, but a pity he stuttered, so he was not a man of many words.


    Before going to the ck market, Mag found another two Information Centers to buy some information about the ck market.


    The ck market was a secret organization in the underground world of Rodu.


    People would do secret transactions here, dealing in ves, lives, elves… As long as you had the money, the ck market could satisfy all your needs.


    This ck market was not only famous in Rodu, but the entire Nond Continent.


    It was said that the ck market had a secret rtion to the royal family of the Roth Empire. Therefore, its status in Rodu’s underground world had always been stable throughout all these years.


    Thisrge underground organization did not have a big headquarters. Instead, their headquarters were spread all over different areas in Rodu.


    Those with the ck market tablet would be allowed to enter the headquarters, and could request the ck marketunch a mission, or ept the missionsunched by others.


    To be safe, Mag did not use the tablet of the man fromst night. Instead, he bought a new tablet from the Information Center, which was equivalent to obtaining a new identity in the underground world. Anyone could ept the missions in the ck market, and there were no restrictions. They only cared about the result and the reward.


    This was no doubt good news to Mag. Mag went to the closest ck market contact point.


    It was a rather run-down house. After showing his tablet and entering, Mag collected a broken mask and wore it. After that, he followed a chap d in a ck robe, and entered an underground tunnel. After walking through the long tunnel, a spacious hall appeared.


    There were quite a lot of people in the hall, and they appeared rather ferocious. They had obvious physical characteristics, so the masks on their faces were just for show.


    Those who roamed the world would more or less wish they could gain some fame, so they would always dress up in a peculiar way so that they could be recognized the moment they appeared.


    For example, Mag’s attention was immediately drawn to thedy in front with arge sunflower on her shoulder. Mag was thinking if the sunflower seeds would be bigger than walnuts.


    On the wall at the side, there was a list of missions written by hand. The people in the hall were all looking at the missions while considering which one they should take up.


    There was a wooden que beside each mission. Taking the wooden que would mean that you epted the mission. There was only one mission slot in each contact point. Therefore, when a high-reward mission appeared, a fight breaking out for the mission would be quitemon. Mag went over to nce at the missions. There were many strange missions. Killing someone took up around a third of the list, and there were other requests, such as to buy the pups of magic beasts, elf maids, subusdies, goblin lolitas…


    Wait, the one who posted thest one had a rather peculiar taste? Mag looked away, and went to the mission exchange hall at the side. He raised the ck curtain, and a tunnel appeared. There were two men in ck robes standing in front of the tunnel. They reached out to stop Mag.


    Mag pulled out a ck tablet from his pocket, and threw it over.


    One of the men in ck robes checked the tablet and nodded. He returned the tablet and stepped aside, indicating that Mag could pass. The end of the tunnel was a ck metal door. Mag walked to the door, and it started opening inward slowly. Inside were a window, a wall, and a hole the size of a head. It was pitch-ck behind the hole, and there was a wooden stool ced in front of the window.


    “Brave mercenary. What mission have youpleted?” A hoarse voice came from behind the wall.


    “Kidnapped a woman.” Mag took a seat on the wooden stool, and threw that tablet into that ck hole. He looked as if he did not care, but was actually carefully observing the hole.


    A working ce could not be inplete darkness, of course. That was just a very high-level illusion.


    “Alright. Please hold on. We have to check.” The hoarse voice sounded before silence fell.


    About 15 minutester, the hoarse voice sounded again. “Apologies for the wait. After checking, we’ve ascertained that the owner of Titan Tavern was indeed captured. It seems she’s in your hands.


    “But this is just part of the mission. A pity you did notplete the mission of burning the cer and tavern down. ording to the rules, you can only get half the reward.” “I… did… did light them on fire,” Mag spat out. “Oh, you did set it on fire, but it was put out by the owner of the tavern in front. If there is a need, you can alwaysunch a revenge mission,” the voice said in a rather light-hearted way.


    “It’s… It’s okay.” Mag raised his brow. This ck market… is really good at making business?


    “This is the deposit of 250,000 and the time and location of the transaction. We will inform the owner. However, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to receive the rest of your reward.” A ck money pouch and a piece of paper appeared from the ck hole.


    “Alright.” Mag picked up the heavy money pouch and paper, and left.


    After leaving the ck market, Mag found an alley to check the money pouch. It was all golden dragon coins inside. 250 of them in total.


    After that, he unfolded the piece of paper. On it were the words: run-down house with tiled roof at the end of Tulou Alley in the west of the


    city.


    Mag kept the paper, kept his disguise, and stopped a horse-drawn carriage at the alley. He went straight to Tulou Alley in the west of the city.


    “It’s almost impossible to see anyone here, but there is quite a lot of scum. What are you doing here, Sir?” the coachman asked as he nced at the run-down alley after he took Mag’s money.


    “Here to meet a friend.” Mag jumped down the horse-drawn carriage with a smile, and watched it drive off. After that, he walked leisurely towards Tulou Alley that was three streets down.


    The western side of Rodu was slums, and the vicinity of Tulou Alley was even more deserted. The sides of the streets were run-down and filled with houses falling apart. Weeds were growing by the side of the road, and it was almost impossible to see a human.


    To be able to find such a deserted ce in Rodu showed that this was not the first day the other party had thought of it.


    Mag flipped over a few courtyard walls, and came to Tulou Alley. He stood outside, and did not walk in straight away.


    No one? Mag stood outside for a while with a puzzled look. Interesting. It seems we still have to act it all out to lure the snake out of the hole.
