Chapter 119: Fire Band Market (2/2)
Rex follows the woman, they walk down for a minute before they arrived.
The woman opened the wooden door in front of her,
Immediately after the woman opened the door, the sound of a bustling crowd is instantly heard by Rex.
Even with his enhanced hearing, he can' hear it from the outside.
'This place is soundproof, I can't even hear any of their voices', Rex thought as he was greeted by the market with many people wearing disguises around and all of them are an Awakened.
In front of him, there are many cages with different kinds of Supernatural on them.
”Welcome to the Fire Band Market, Are you new to this place?”, the woman said while she bowed slightly.
Rex replied with a nod before the woman explains, ”New customer, let me explain to you about this market”
”Just like a regular market, this is a place where you buy and sell anything. You can buy and sell literally anything here, if the goods you're looking for is not here then you can ask me directly to request the goods you want”
Hearing this, Rex nodded his head.
He half-listened to what the woman said because the scene in front of him greatly surprised him.
In front of him, there are many goods that he didn't even think can be transacted.
There are many things such as spellbooks, battle equipment, elixir, human slaves, Supernatural, materials, miscellaneous items, all of them are here.
He even saw a powerful Supernatural that is drugged sitting in a cage weakly.
”What are those Supernatural sold for? Can we even brought them outside?”, Rex asks the woman while pointing at a human-sized dragon.
The woman looks at the dragon before he said, ”I'm sorry but to have such Supernatural you will need to be a diamond member of our Fire Band Market, it will be troublesome if the customer can't keep the Supernatural in check”
After she said that, she added, ”But for new customers like you, we recommend the Succubus to pleasure you. It is a famous service here and It only cost $10,000 a session”
Rex is shocked by the astounding cost, it's super expensive even for him.
”How about the human slaves? Can I buy them?”, Rex asks.
The woman replied with a nod.
'Should I buy a slave to fill my pack? No, that's just not the right thing to do', Rex thought but he's still curious.
'System, is there any compatibility in turning someone into a Werewolf?'
<Yes, people with Gifts will be a stronger Werewolf when transformed rather than an Awakened>
Reading this, Rex nodded his head in thought, 'Werewolf is not a Spell-based Supernatural so it makes sense for gifted to become a stronger Werewolf'
Rex then thought, 'System, Can you tell me if you find any gifted person?'
<Yes, Activating scanning field>
Right after the last notification, many tabs appeared on top of each people's head in his line of sight.
Some of them have a blank tab while some of them don't.
Seeing this, Rex thought wryly, 'System, if you can do this why don't you use it from the first place to filter which one is an Awakened and which one is not?'
'No it's not, there's only one explanation in the power section'
<The user need to click on the power section to see other insignificant gift or elements a person have, the system only shows the most significant one>
After reading this, Rex widened his eyes in surprise.
He then picks a gifted person inside a cage as his eyes glister,
<Alma Ryze>
Race: Human
Power: Rank Two(Mid) - Super Strength
Mental: 10
Strength: 16
Agility: 12
Endurance: 6
Intelligence: 0
After seeing the stats, Rex then taps on the 'Super Strength' before another tab opened revealing further description of the person.
Super Strength - Gift
Super Speed - Gift
Rex scrunch his face, 'Damn, I should've known'
After talking with the system briefly, Rex then asks the woman, ”Is there any way to sell or buy information?”
”Yes, please follow me”, the woman said.
He followed the woman through the crowd.
While walking, he suddenly saw an animal tattoo that almost every one of the customers here has on their wrists.
Rex wanted to see it closer but he already arrived at the place.
He is brought to a stall, this stall is devoid of people and there's a man with a gruesome scar on his face that looks horrifying.
”What do you want to buy?”, the man asks.
Rex with his muffled voice replied, ”I come here to sell an information, are you down?”
The man scoffed before he said, ”What kind of information”
”An information about the negligence of this place's staff”, Rex said slowly, he wanted to ask for the Platchi's but it will be suicide if this place is owned by the Platchi's.
But he got a plan for it, and if it fails it will bring tremendous risk but he has to do it.
Hearing this, the man laughs, ”What kind of information is that? We're professional here, there's no way our staff did anything like that”
Rex smiles, ”Well then if you're not interested so be it”, he said while leaving the stall.
Seeing this, the man hesitated for a moment before he called out to Rex, ”You come back here, I will buy the information if it's true”
”There's two Supernatural that escaped this place, I met them outside”, Rex said.
If this is really a black market, then this information should be important and Rex can get something out of it.
Hearing this, the man widened his eyes in surprise, ”What?! That's not possible!”
”You can find their bodies in the trash nearby, I killed both of them”, Rex said calmly, he then sits on a chair nonchalantly.
The man stares at Rex for a while before he signals the guards to check it out.
Rex stares at the man through the mask calmly, he's sitting on the chair as if he owned the place.
Not long after, the guard came back and told the man it's true.
The man then looks back at Rex with a complicated expression, he then said, ”What do you want to be paid with? Cash or Items?”
”Cash please”, Rex replied calmly.
He wanted cash because that cash can be converted to gold, it will not leave any evidence that he's here.
Hearing this, the man then said, ”I'll give you $10,000 for it, I will-”
Before the man can even finish, Rex intervenes, ”$10,000,000”
The man is shocked, he didn't expect Rex to be so blunt about it, ”The information you provided is not worth that much”
”This woman right here said that the succubus service is pretty famous, How much is it again? for a session?”, Rex asked.
The woman glanced at the man but before she can reply, Rex said, ”Oh right, $10,000!”
”Looking at the crowd here, I think it's safe to say that you earn quite a bit from that alone”, Rex said nonchalantly.
The scar-faced man's expression darkened, he already know where this is going.
”I demand $10,000,000 from it, it's a fair price, right? Is $10,000 the price for this place getting exposed?”, Rex said while shrugging his shoulder, he looks nonchalant even with the guards approaching him.
Rex already scans the area and there's only two peak rank four in the house, he's not scared of them. Especially during the night.
The scar-face man raises his hand to stop the guards, ”$5,000,000”
Hearing this, Rex immediately stand up from his seat and stretches his hand, ”That's a deal, I want it right now”
The scar-faced man was shocked, he gritted his teeth before signaling the guard to bring the money.
”Well now that the money's is here, I want to buy something from you”, Rex said.
The scar-faced man looks at Rex weirdly before he sits on his chair, ”What do you want to know?”
