Chapter 520 - A pack of lies (1/2)
It took seven days for Ren Xiaosu to return to the black market. No one knew where he had been during that time.
But when he was checking in to the hotel, Ren Xiaosu was surprised to see someone wearing a Pyro Company logo on his chest walk out from the elevator and leave the hotel.
Honestly speaking, Ren Xiaosu nearly started a fight right there in the hotel when he saw that small flame on the other party’s chest. After all, Ren Xiaosu had subconsciously deemed the Pyro Company as his enemy after such a long time. However, Ren Xiaosu managed to get ahold of himself. After all, this was the black market.
He went upstairs and entered his room. After a while, Zhou Yingxue came knocking on his door. Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhou Yingxue with an ambiguous smile and said, “You didn’t leave after seeing all that money?”
Zhou Yingxue curled her lips and did not answer the question. She wrote down an account number for Ren Xiaosu and said, “Master, your 80% share has been deposited into this account.”
“Mhm.” Ren Xiaosu nodded and took the piece of paper from her. “I won’t exploit you either. You can deduct any expenses incurred from this account while carrying out the missions. After all, your mother is still sick. By the way, do you have enough for her medical bills?”
“If I say that I don’t have enough, are you gonna give me another 10%?” Zhou Yingxue stared blankly at Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu shook his head. “If you don’t have enough money, I’ll take you to accomplish more missions.”
“Then forget it.” Zhou Yingxue sat down on the couch and muttered, “I still want to rest for a while longer.”
“By the way, I saw someone from the Pyro Company in the hotel lobby earlier. How’d they get into the black market?” Ren Xiaosu wondered, “And they even wear their logo around so blatantly?”
Puzzled, Zhou Yingxue looked at Ren Xiaosu. “Shouldn’t that be very normal?”
“Normal?” Ren Xiaosu was stunned. “Shouldn’t the Pyro Company be hated by everyone?”
“Only supernatural beings think that way.” Zhou Yingxue said, “The Pyro Company doesn’t capture normal people, and they’ve only been going after supernatural beings in recent years. As they usually carry out their operations in secret. Many supernatural beings don’t even know about it.”
“But the Pyro Company is also very tyrannical in their ways. Doesn’t that irk people?”
“Of course it does! But aren’t all consortiums the same?” Zhou Yingxue said, “Moreover, the Pyro Company has quite a few strongholds under their control and is such a dominant power as well. Other than the Anjing House and the Saboteurs, no one would really want to offend them.”
Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized it was his previous experience in the Southwest that gave him a negative impression of the Pyro Company. It was mainly because Yang Xiaojin wanted to attack the Pyro Company that he subconsciously placed them on his blacklist.
He finally realized there wasn’t much of a difference between the Pyro Company and the other consortiums in most people’s eyes.
Zhou Yingxue said, “Besides, the Pyro Company has always regarded this black market as a hub. I heard the Pyro Company’s on good terms with the Qinghe Group, and it seems the relationship between the two founders was great. Therefore, the Pyro Company has always been an ally of Luoyang City all these years. Furthermore, the Pyro Company has never gone after any supernatural beings within the Qinghe Group’s territory before. As such, a lot of supernatural beings came here to the black market to avoid the Pyro Company’s attempts at capturing them.”
“Aren’t they afraid that the Pyro Company will make a move once they leave the black market?” Ren Xiaosu wondered.
“It seems that the Pyro Company has really not resorted to something like that in the black market before,” Zhou Yingxue answered.
“What’s the relationship between the Pyro Company and the Qinghe Group?” Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled.
However, none of this seemed to have much to do with him. He would still kill the members of the Pyro Company if he encountered them in the wilderness anyway. After all, the Pyro Company had attacked him on more than one occasion.
