1172 I’ll Give You Two Options (1/2)
Foothold No. 1A13, Nirvana City in Division 1 was where Misery's headquarters was located.
The tallest building in the entire Division 1, the Sky Pagoda, was in this foothold.
The 999-story Sky Pagoda was over 3,000 meters high. It stood tall in the central zone of the entire foothold with the building penetrating into the sky.
Although it was an underground organization's headquarters, many tourists would visit this place every year. The adventurous ones might even visit more than one foothold under the jurisdiction of the underground organization. In reality, they knew very well that the safety in those footholds where the underground organization headquarters were was not as lackadaisical compared to the Union Government.
Safety would affect the number of residents directly which, in turn, would affect the number of investors. The number of investors would make or break the economy of a foothold.
Therefore, the footholds where the underground organization's headquarters were based would usually be bearable. At least, it was for the commoners on the surface.
Even most of the underground organizations welcomed tourists to visits their footholds because tourism made good money. The effect also spilled over to many other businesses which was beneficial for the foothold's economy.
Nirvana City was one of the underground organization's footholds that was considered wealthy in tourism.
The Sky Pagoda was the highest artificial building in Division 1, and it attracted many tourists each year. Misery even made the areas around the Sky Pagoda into tourism zones with all sorts of amenities.
At the moment, an elevator containing many tourists was rising from the foot of Sky Pagoda.
The Sky Pagoda was an attraction not to be missed when one visited Nirvana City. All the tourists flocked to it.
Almost all of the ten or so tourists in the elevator were snapping videos and photos.
A little boy of seven or eight pulled his father's hand all of a sudden. ”Dad, look! Someone's flying over there!”
His exclamation drew many people's attention, so they looked where he was pointing.
A silhouette to the right of the elevator was flying high at a speed tens of times faster than the elevator.
”It's a transcendent!” someone exclaimed out loud.
The elevator erupted into chaos all of a sudden. Many people began adjusting the angle of their cameras in an attempt to document this moment.
However, the silhouette soon disappeared into the clouds above.
”Dad, why is the transcendent flying above the pagoda?” piped up the little boy again.
The kid's father looked pretty young. He was speechless from the question as he had no idea how to explain it.
At that moment, an uncle next to them said, ”Kid, this Sky Pagoda has a total of 999 floors, but this elevator that we're taking can only go to the 990th floor. We can't access the last nine floors. I heard that the nine floors above are the headquarters office. The office area has no elevator, so you can only fly if you want to get in. The person who was flying should be a member of Misery.”
As those tourists were talking about Misery's headquarters, Lin Huang had passed through the clouds and arrived on the 999th floor of the Sky Pagoda.
”Why didn't the Dynasty's Master Emperor notify us about your arrival? We must roll out the red carpet.” A deep male voice came from not far away just when Lin Huang stood still.
A man in a red robe walked out of the dark slowly. There were ten people in gray robes who followed behind him.
Lin Huang noticed that most of the 11 of them were glaring at him like an enemy while a minority of them had no expression on their faces. Meanwhile, the leader had a faint smile on his face.
Clearly, these people had heard about Ku Zhen, Jie Sha, and Zhi Lu's death and knew that he would come.
”Didn't you guys know that I was coming?” Lin Huang smirked and said to the person who was leading the group. He could sense that the person's aura was nothing below the Master God's clone of God Bless. He should be Misery's leader.
