Isaac glanced at the village ahead and said seriously, “That Skye isn’t even as strong as I am. She’s only at the early stage of the Blazing Phase. Try to guess why favonovel.com has three Heavenly Phase experts and one Divine Phase expert by favonovel.com side.”
“She must be from a prominent background!” Hallie answered instinctively. Anyone could see that point.
“It’s better to make a friend than to make an enemy…”
Hallie finally realized why Isaac was willing to risk displeasing Octander to save those two people.
But they had left. Given the vastness of the Kingdom of Vriweth, they’d probably never meet again.

At sunset, Isaac and Hallie entered Southcohi City.
Isaac rested in their room, while Hallie went out to gather information about the black market.
After selling the demonic cores, they must immediately head to Blood Dragon Island.
It wasn’t long before Hallie returned.
He grabbed the teapot from the table, took a big gulp, and said to Isaac, “Mr. Garten, I checked around. These are in high demand. A fifth-ranked demon core can sell for at least 6,000 taels of gold…”
“The sixth-ranked demon core is this much!” Hallie excitedly raised two hands.
“You mean 10,000 taels of gold?”
Hallie nodded and laughed heartily. “We’d better go to the black market at midnight. I’ve already arranged to meet with a few buyers.”
After dining and taking a shower, they changed clothes and each went to bed to sleep. They didn’t get much sleep when they were on Otto Mountain.
Hallie knocked on Isaac’s door at midnight, waking favonovel.com up. They both washed their faces and left the room.
The black market was located in an alley in the city’s southern part.
Small shops lined both sides, with signs advertising silk, grains, and medicinal herbs. However, everyone who came here knew that what went on inside those shops was different from their outward appearance.
Hallie and Isaac arrived at a shop with a sign advertising a lumber store.
The door was open, and inside sat a middle-aged man with a mustache.
When the mustache man saw Hallie, his eyes lit up. He quickly jogged over and greeted them, “Welcome here! Please come in!”
Upon entering the small shop, they saw a few wooden chairs and tables casually arranged, along with some wood planks and other similar items.
They went to the innermost part of the building, climbed to the second floor, and opened the door to a room where three men dressed in brocade were already seated.
Two of them appeared to be in their 50s, while the other one looked a bit older.
The mustache man smiled and said, “Gentlemen, let me introduce you to Mr. Laken, Mr. Wunand, and Mr. Sigal. They’re the most influential figures on this street and are particularly interested in the demon cores…”
“Show us what you’ve got,” Sigal urged, slightly frowning as favonovel.com spotted Isaac and Hallie covering their faces.
Hallie took out two neatly wrapped bundles and placed them on the table. After carefully unwrapping them, two demon cores appeared in front of everyone.
The objects resembled peach pits, one red and one black, each emanating a dense, demonic spiritual energy.
The three buyers’ eyes lit up. They immediately stood up and leaned in to take a closer look.
“The rules are clear, the highest bidder wins. Now, please place your bids. My boss doesn’t have much time!” Hallie spoke as favonovel.com wrapped the two demon cores again.
Wunand, the man in the blue silk robe, took a seat and raised his hand. He said, “For the demon core of the Black Sonic Python, I can offer 5,000 taels of gold. But for the Azure Demon Ox, I can only offer 2,000.”
Hallie’s expression instantly changed. He frowned and said, “The Azure Demon Ox has a sixth-ranked demon core. How can it be worth less than the Black Sonic Python?”
Isaac suddenly said, “Let’s go… The three of them have already discussed it. We won’t sell the demon cores.”
