Chapter 13, Black Street, Investment, Blackmail
In the dark alley, well, no, the bright and clean streets, the bright environment, and the surging divine power in the shops make people feel normative and normal at a glance.
But who would have thought that the alley in front of them is actually a black street that gathers all the illegal products and smuggling in Yuanwang City.
Of course, this street can be placed so blatantly, even close to the inner city, and become something that is well known but not mentioned. The most important thing is the approval from the city lord.
As for the reason, Yuanwang City is a newly developed city, a frontier place, a city facing the impact of disasters from the local gods and various divine creatures in the Sea of Chaos.
Or it’s just that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and others can’t care about it.
But these have nothing to do with Du Yuan, with a bitter look on his face.
How can you feel good about being forced to take out a loan?
Those guys are really vampires. If he could help it, he would not want to deal with those guys at all.
In the middle of the dark street.
Stopping in front of one of the most magnificent shops, he opened the door and saw an unusually evil black-red eye pattern.
Du Yuan is no stranger to this store. It is the store opened by the most powerful force in the underworld, the Eye of Truth, Truth Pavilion.
Of course, there has been a rumor circulating that behind this Pavilion of Truth is the infamous Evil God Chamber of Commerce.
If you ask Du Yuan whether he believes this rumor, he must believe it. The black and red eye mark looks like the style of the evil god.
Moreover, the manager of this store is also an old acquaintance of Du Yuan.
As soon as he entered the store, an old man with a wrinkled face and no hair on his head, who looked like a big toad, appeared in front of Du Yuan.
He is the manager of this store, an old acquaintance of Du Yuan, a greedy old vampire.
Of course, I thought so in my heart, but the expression on my face should still be in place. With a bright smile on my face, I took the initiative to say hello.
"Long time no see, Lao Zhangtou!"
Lao Zhang glanced at Du Yuan.
There was a little more playful expression in his eyes.
Du Yuan and him have known each other for a long time. This old Zhangtou is not a big shot. He is just an old toad who has not been promoted to a demigod and was used as a temptation by the big shot behind him to do things.
The city lord was also on the defensive. Although the various dark and gray forces in the dark streets had changed their appearance and started running businesses, they had set rules to prevent the demigods and true gods from these forces from entering the city.
So a group of white gloves was born, but how could a dog change its habit of eating shit? Even if they started a regular business, these black and gray forces did not forget their old business, lending money, donating classes, selling information and A series of messy businesses.
Before entering school, Du Yuan joined the intelligence department of the forces behind the Truth Pavilion and worked as an informant for Lao Zhangtou. Of course, it was just an outsourcing of outsourcing. What he had to do every day was to hang out in the city with a group of young men. He wandered around to collect information and sorted out the useful ones and gave them to Lao Zhangtou to earn a living.
Because Du Yuan was extra clever, he became the leader of the children under Lao Zhang.
Until Du Yuan's divine core was completed before the age of sixteen.
Although the sacred contract stipulates that everyone can become a god, not everyone is qualified to enter the academy of gods.
The core of divinity must be perfected before the age of sixteen, otherwise you will be regarded as inferior by the deity academy. Although being unable to enter the deity academy does not mean that the path to deity is cut off.
It is also a way to strengthen oneself, embark on the path of transcendence, become a demigod, and break into the sea of chaos to find a way to preach in the world.
Or just join some black and gray forces.
Some evil methods can mature the core of divinity by just gambling on luck and life, so the evil forces never lack people to defect to them.
Du Yuan was originally prepared to join the forces behind Lao Zhangtou, but Du Yuan's divine core was completed before he turned sixteen.
He kicked away the toad that was Lao Zhangtou and showed no mercy.
Until now, it was somewhat awkward to meet again.
Things are changing.
He remembered that when he was admitted to the Divine Academy, the old guy looked at him with a half-smiling expression, as if he was sure that he would come back to him.
Well, Du Yuan is really back. .
He sat carelessly in front of Lao Zhangtou.
"Long time no see, Lao Zhangtou!"
The old toad was unhurried and even poured himself a cup of tea.
"Boy, private matters belong to private matters, and public matters belong to public matters. Are you ready?"
The expression on Du Yuan's face suddenly dropped.
Soon after, Du Yuan slapped the table angrily.
"A divine card? Old Zhangtou, why are you so confused? A divine card is not enough!"
"Why is it not enough? You boy is also living better and going back home. He has found a group of rat people as his dependents and he still wants to invest in me?"
Lao Zhang had an expression on his head as if the old god was there.
Du Yuan slapped his mouth, became less angry, and sat back in his seat.
"As expected, he is indeed a cold-blooded old toad. All he can see in his eyes is moving things. Back then you still called me Xiao Du, but now I have become your little boy. You don't show any affection at all."
He said quietly while shaking his head.
Facing Du Yuan's faint words.
There was no change at all on Lao Zhangtou's face, he still had the same expression of the old god's presence.
"You kid called me Grandpa Zhang back then, don't make such nonsense."
He also glanced at Du Yuan along the way, with an expression that looked like you were a young boy.
suddenly.
Du Yuan reported a place name.
"Rose Mansion!"
The atmosphere on the field suddenly paused. The expression on Lao Zhangtou's face seemed to have not changed, but Du Yuan, who had sharp eyes, could clearly see the move of his eyebrows.
"August 21st, Lady Rose's Day of Prayer."
As time passed from Du Yuan's mouth, the old toad couldn't sit still.
"How do you know, you little brat!"
The situation was suddenly reversed, and it turned into Du Yuan holding his chest as if the old god was there.
"You didn't expect that everyone would know that not only did your old tree bloom, but it was also the old lady who bloomed! It's not a shallow blessing, it's not a shallow blessing."
Speaking of which, this old toad is really quite capable. He is so old and so ugly, but he can still make a tree bloom, and the one who blooms is the mother of the executive officer of Yuanwang City.
The old woman is also a trainee god, a demigod, but her son is something extraordinary.
All of a sudden, there was a trace of panic on Lao Zhangtou's face, and then he became angry and gritted his teeth after he reacted.
"Good boy, I didn't expect you to have another hand. Okay, I have the final say. I can vote for you two divine cards!"
Du Yuan looked at the old toad in front of him and shook his head.
"not enough!"
"Greedy boy! Do you think you can control me! Now the conditions are back to one!"
After saying that, the old toad snorted coldly, looking at Du Yuan with a bit of danger in his eyes.
This news is certainly not enough to take advantage of this old toad, not because of anything else, but because this guy knows the price of being taken advantage of.
And this news is not enough to deal with the old toad. Does the true god-level consul really not know what his mother is doing?
But the old toad was really willing to pay a magic card for this news, which surprised Du Yuan. This old guy was interesting, and he returned the favor sincerely.
He still looked like the old god was there.
