Chapter 111 (2/2)

For the first time, North's tone betrayed a human emotion, the emotion of fear.

Xue Qilin knows the object of his fears. It's none other than Shadow Gate's Gate Master – a Heaven Realm a.s.sa.s.sin who can kill people without any forewarning.

“What's the real name?”

“a.s.sa.s.sins don't have real names. And even if they do, they won't disclose them to others.”

“Oh. Called Black Cat, hmm?”

North nodded silently, and then advised in an knowledgeable tone: “I advise that you dismiss any thoughts of finding trouble with her as soon as possible. It's not difficult to kill Black Cat, but her father is not someone easy to bully.”

There was a pause, and a rather complicated expression emerged on North's face.

“No one wants to live a life where death can come at anytime and from anywhere… no one.”

“That so? Anyway, in what capacity are you saying this? Someone who has first hand experience?”

Xue Qilin asked this questions with an unclear meaning and tone.

North is silent, which can be regarded as a tacit agreement with her statement.

“Your worry is unnecessary.” Xue Qilin shrugged her shoulders, “I have no intention to look for her to settle accounts.”

After a long silence, North asked, puzzled: “Then why did you inquire about her?”

“People always want to know everything.”

Xue Qilin looked down and sighed.

“Nothing is more disturbing than 'not knowing'.”

“'Not knowing'…”

Shui Yun'er chewed the words, in a daze. She appears to understand somewhat. North nodded, sympathetic deep down.

However…

“… called Black Cat, hmm? You'd better not run into me, or I will catch you and spank you! To try to a.s.sa.s.sinate me, what a reckless thing!”

Xue Qilin suddenly bared her teeth, waved her fist, and thought out loud. Her words are laced with anger and indignation.

The serious atmosphere was destroyed in an instant by the la.s.s's expression of anger.

In response, Shui Yun'er couldn't help but smile wryly.

“If there's nothing else, then leave… you are really tiring.”

North rubbed his temple with one hand and waved his other hand in annoyance to drive away this customer.

“I'm a customer… Is this how you treat you customers?”

Xue Qilin stood up while complaining grievously.

“Get out!”

“Fine, I'll go…”

North stared at Xue Qilin, causing her to twist her mouth.

“Right, surnamed Xue.”

The la.s.s has just turned around to leave, when she was stopped by North.

“What?”

Xue Qilin turned to look back at him.

“The last time you asked me about the auction. There will be one held today.”

In a slum, there is bound to be a black market to dispose of stolen goods.

When some valuable stolen goods fall into the black market, the organization controlling the black market will generally hold an auction to sell them off for a good price.

Due to this, it is often possible to get something good in black market auctions.

It has to be mentioned that a slum is a place without morality, so the black market is p.r.o.ne to “dog eat dog” instances. After you buy things there, whether you can leave safely or not depends on your personal skill.

“Hey, it's finally going to be held? Is there anything good?”

“Not sure. I heard that there's going to be a martial demon auctioned.”

“A martial demon?” Xue Qilin frowned, “What martial demon?”

“Not sure.”

“What sort of intelligence broker are you?! You only know how to say not sure!”

Xue Qilin is ticked off.

“There's no way around it, I didn't pay attention.”

North said flatly, lacking the awareness of an intelligence broker.

“Although I'm not sure, but I heard that…”

Here we go again with hearsay! Xue Qilin rolled her eyes.

“It's a humanoid martial demon.”

A humanoid martial demon.

In other words, it's a martial demon who's already in the Earth Realm.

An Earth Realm martial demon is going to be auctioned? Xue Qilin opened her eyes wide, incredulous.
