Chapter 762: Windlove City! (1/2)
However, Tong Fei had gradually come out of the shadow of Heartless’ death, which let Bai Xiaofei’s group sigh in relief. The man looked like nothing happened and did not test them nor show any doubt. Moreover, as they got closer and closer to the Windless Zone, he also became more and more talkative.
“Up ahead is Windlove City!” Wu Chi, who drove the carriage that Tong Fei and Bai Xiaofei were in, announced with a hint of joy. After hurrying along the road for such a long time, he finally saw hope!
Windlove City, the only city near the Windless Zone, was not under the jurisdiction of any country. The city lord was a person who only lived in legends. Very few people had seen his true face.
The law of the jungle was the only rule in Windlove City. Here, one would witness all the dark sides of the continent, but at the same time, those with enough power would be hailed on pedestals. ‘A mix of all sorts of people’ was a good phrase to describe this city.
Due to its characteristics, Windlove City had become the largest slave-trading area at the northern border, only comparable to the slave markets in the desert countries of the southern borders. However, most people in the northern borders only know of the southern from stories told by the older generations.
Bai Xiaofei was eyeing the Windless Zone exactly because of its slave business in Windlove City!
“Brother, after we enter Windlove City, I need to contact my superior and it may take a few days. You can have a good look around the city during this period. If I remember correctly, tomorrow should be the day when Unify Business conducts its monthly auction. I think you will be interested.”
Tong Fei’s face then became serious.
“But you must be careful, brother. Windlove City is not like where you have stayed. There are no rules here. It’s best that the madams and young misses don’t go out in the open, or you will likely invite trouble.”
As Tong Fei gave his final piece of advice, the carriage arrived at the gate of Windlove City.
“Master, here we are,” informed Wu Chi.
Tong Fei stood up. “Brother, take care. I will return as quickly as possible, and if there is good news, you will be the first to know, but please forgive me if it takes a long time. After all, our organization has many things on our plate.”
Tong Fei’s speech was worded beautifully. At least, Bai Xiaofei could not find any fault with it.
“Don’t worry about us, my brother, I have great confidence in my people. I’m more concerned about the progress on your side. Don’t let me take this trip for nothing, alright? I already promised my superior to seal this deal.” Bai Xiaofei laughed.
“Master, where are we going?” Wu Chi asked softly.
“We’re going to appreciate the customs of this place!” Bai Xiaofei revealed a smile as his eyes rested on the city gates, wondering what kind of surprise this place would bring…
Unlike most cities, there were no guards in Windlove City, and even the city walls were only for show. Looking around, one would see all kinds of people in strange outfits. As Tong Fei had said, this was the area where all dark things gathered.
As Bai Xiaofei assessed others, the people near the gate were also checking out his motorcade. In this city, fat meat would become the target of everyone!
Feeling the strange eyes all around, Bai Xiaofei smiled wryly. Who could have thought that his group full of Master Rank and Grandmaster Rank puppet masters would be regarded as an easy target?
“Enter the city. Looks like we can’t stop now,” Bai Xiaofei commented with a sigh.
Despite being confused by his tone, Wu Chi drove the carriage into the city.
In another carriage, Duan Yiyi and Zhu Nuo were looking curiously through the window. Unlike Bai Xiaofei, they had never left Starnet for four years, and even in Starnet, they didn’t walk around much, so everything in Windlove City was new to them.
