Chapter 498 - A new mission (1/2)

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu felt that the person behind the biggest and most professional black market in the Central Plains was most likely the boss of the Qinghe Group. If he could come to such a conclusion, others would definitely be able to as well.

However, the reason why everyone left this black market unchecked was probably also due to the uncaring attitude displayed by the Qinghe Group. Since an organization like them did not have the ambition to rule over the Central Plains, others would naturally be able to turn a blind eye to some unimportant matters.

“Let’s go and check out what the black market is like at night.” Ren Xiaosu got up and headed out. Zhou Yingxue followed him, but she curled her lips in silence. Wasn’t he just curious to see the sensual temptations of this world? He must have been tempted after hearing what she said about the croupiers and brothels. There were indeed no good men!

However, Zhou Yingxue still obediently followed him. After they left the hotel room, the two of them returned to their roles as an A-rank hitwoman and her assistant respectively. Zhou Yingxue’s expression could not get any more arrogant than it was.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt like Zhou Yingxue was a little bit addicted to being in-character for her role…

When they passed by the legendary brothel, a group of beautiful women in uniform were standing at the door and smiling at the passersby. Ren Xiaosu asked, “What uniform is this? I haven’t seen any soldiers wearing it before.”

“They say it’s the uniform of flight attendants from the Pre-Cataclysm times. I’m referring to the cabin crew of a plane,” Zhou Yingxue explained.

Ren Xiaosu didn’t respond.

The black market was a real eye-opener to him. It was no wonder those mob bosses were willing to stay here. According to Zhou Yingxue, there was even a housing block specially built here in the black market. The villas there were sold to the mob bosses at astronomical prices.

Moreover, the people from the black market organization had been eliminating wild beasts so frequently in the surrounding mountain range that there was not even a snake to be found.

But Zhou Yingxue asked, “Aren’t you gonna go into the brothel to have a look? Didn’t you come out in the middle of the night because you wanted to see this?”

“I just wanted to have a look from the outside.” Ren Xiaosu asked in confusion, “Why would I go in?”

Zhou Yingxue was shocked right then and there. Was he really just here to have a look?!

When they came to the entrance of the casino, Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. He and Zhou Yingxue both saw that Rider from earlier wearing a red scarf hoisting a student out from inside.

Although the student looked like he was around 50 kilograms, the Rider held him in his hand as though he were a featherweight.

They saw the Rider throw the student mercilessly to the ground. “You’ve violated the order about going out without permission. Head back to Luoyang City yourself. You’ve been expelled from the school!”

The student got up from the ground in a pathetic manner and said, “What gives you the right to make such a decision when you’re just here to protect us?”

The Rider said coldly, “If you can make it back to Luoyang City, you’ll understand why I can make a decision like this.”

Ren Xiaosu muttered, “It seems that the Riders have a lot of authority within the Qinghe Group.”

“Of course.” Zhou Yingxue nodded. “They’re all devotees to the founder of Qinghe. The current leader of Qinghe, Xu Ke, also reveres them greatly. Apparently, only by completing eight challenges can they become true devotees.”

“Then why did the student confront him?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“Probably because the Riders do not have any actual duties within the Qinghe Group.” Zhou Yingxue was not too familiar with the internal workings of the Qinghe Group.

“I think he’s just young and immature. His family must’ve already told him, but he still went into the casino out of curiosity. He’s only getting angry out of embarrassment at being caught red-handed.” Ren Xiaosu shook his head. “Look, he can’t bear to face that Rider now. This shows that he still understands the Rider’s standing within the Qinghe Group. He was just too pampered and had nothing better to do.”

Zhou Yingxue looked strangely at Ren Xiaosu. ‘Aren’t you also around the same age as that student!’
