Chapter 406 - Chapter 406: Chapter 106: The Young Gang Leader of the Black Shark Gang (1/2)
chapter 406: chapter 106: the young gang leader of the black shark gang
lin jing controlled the observation mode and headed downward. after passing through the auction hall,
he finally found a fairly large underground chamber beneath the auction hall.
within this chamber, lin jing at last saw li qingqing whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
having not seen her for many years, li qingqing looked very different; the unique naivete that was once exclusive to a young girl was no longer there on her face.
now, she appeared much more mature.
moreover, there was a unique aura emanating from within her, adding even more charm to her demeanor.
the young girl from before had indeed grown up.
even in such a situation, li qingqing didn’t show any signs of panic or fear; instead, her expression was one of determination.
at this moment, li qingqing wasn’t the only one in the chamber.
outside the cage that bound li qingqing, three people stood there.
among these three people, the one in the middle, was a young man in purple clothing.
this young man in purple had an evil charm about him, and he was currently sizing up li qingqing, who was under control, with a malevolent gaze.
as for the remaining two, one was a black-clothed muscular man exuding a powerful murderous aura, his eyes cold, closely following the purple-clothed youth.
the other appeared to be an inconspicuous middle-aged man who was calmly looking at the purple-clothed young man.
he seemed to have grown accustomed to the behavior of the purple-clothed youth and had no other reaction.
a moment later, the purple-clothed youth withdrew his gaze and turned to the inconspicuous middle-aged man:
“uncle yin…”
“can’t i just take this woman away directly?”
“having to participate in an auction is such a hassle.”
the inconspicuous middle-aged man replied:
“no…”
“the gang leader had already stated long ago that, at this time, no one is allowed to interfere with the normal proceedings of the auction, including myself.”
“if you were to take the final premium lot away directly, it would affect the reputation of the black shark gang.”
“if the gang leader finds out, not only will i be punished, but i suspect that you won’t escape punishment either.”
“young gang leader…”
“you should know your father’s temperament quite well.”
after hearing this, the purple-clothed youth immediately started to complain in dissatisfaction:
“my dad is really something, setting up such a rule, even i need to participate in the auction to get what i want.”
after complaining, the purple-clothed youth furrowed his brows and said to the middle-aged man:
“is there really no other way? i really want that black kite.”
“that black kite possesses the bloodline of the phoenix clan, if captured and properly raised, it could potentially add a formidable force to our black shark gang.”
after pondering for a moment, the middle-aged man known as uncle yin straightforwardly said:
“actually, there is a way…”
“you can participate in the bidding process normally, just by bidding directly.”
“after you win the bid, you only need to pay half the bidding price in spirit stones as a formality, and leave the rest to me, i’ll take care of it for you.”
“this way, it doesn’t really break the rules and no one can have any complaints. if you don’t have enough spirit stones, i can even help you cover the amount temporarily.”
the purple-clothed youth, upon hearing this, joyfully said to the middle-aged man:
“thank you, uncle yin…”
“then, uncle yin…”
“does this mean i can name any price i want?”
the middle-aged man replied:
“while that’s true, you still can’t be too outrageous. just outbid the others within a normal range; you only need to offer a bit more than anyone else.”
“additionally…”
“you must control yourself during the auction and avoid getting into a spat with someone else. otherwise, if the gang leader finds out, i’m afraid he’ll lock you up again.”
the purple-clothed youth grinned and said:
“don’t worry, uncle yin, i have my limits.”
……
lin jing listened to the entire conversation from beginning to end, shattering his initial plan to join the bidding.
it was clear that this purple-clothed youth was the son of the black shark gang leader, and the so-called ‘uncle yin’ was the actual manager of the black shark gang’s auction house.
at the moment, the two were conspiring to secure li qingqing through the auction.
if things went as they said, lin jing wouldn’t have enough spirit stones, no matter how many he had.
even if there were some unforeseen circumstances that allowed him to win the bidding, it could provoke the ire of the young gang leader of the black shark gang.
would he even be able to leave then?
therefore, if he wanted to rescue li qingqing, there was only one option left.
that was to snatch her…
……
as lin jing was pondering, the middle-aged man spoke up again, asking the purple-clothed youth:
“have you made preparations to capture that black kite?”
the purple-clothed youth nodded and said:
“of course, i’m prepared…”
“before coming here, i convinced hall master qin to set up a formation on that nameless isle not far from black shark island.”
“additionally, at that time, elder jiang will be there to assist. elder jiang is a nascent soul true monarch; with him overseeing, wouldn’t capturing the black kite be an easy task?”
after hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded and said:
“your preparations seem sufficient…”
“however, i still have to tell you.”
“that black kite is very clever; with all your preparations, it might not even go near them.”
