After hearing Juno’s suggestion, Gerald then replied, “Agreed. Let’s keep that in mind, then!”
By covering their tracks, they’d at least be able to lower the chances of Soul Hunters finding them again. Gerald really wasn’t all that keen on being hunted down day in and day out…
As favonovel.com was thinking about how much less they would have to worry if they covered their tracks, a thought suddenly came to Gerald.
Taking out the map that Old Flint had given him, Gerald scanned through it for a while before pointing at a town—on the map—and saying, “…Let’s head there next. While the journey will take a little longer, we’ll at least be able to bypass the phosphorite area. Since it’s a town, we’ll also get a chance to resupply there!”
“Anything you say!” replied Juno without the slightest hesitation.
Now that that was decided, the group of four then changed their route and began heading toward the town on the map…
The town itself was known as the Town of Five Elements, and it was aptly named that way due to geographical reasons.
Either way, after traveling for an entire day, the four finally arrived at the entrance of the town. Contrary to the previous lack of humans, the group quickly realized that the town was both lively and busy. In a way, it was almost as though the entire town was a bustling marketplace…
“Everyone! The black market’s putting up a crystal skull for auction! Let’s go check it out!” yelled a young man out of the blue.
Hearing that, many were drawn to his proposal, including Gerald and his party. To think that there’d be a black market in the town!
“Why don’t we go see it too?” said Rey who had always been interested in things like these.
“Sure, why not?” replied Gerald, seeing no reason to refuse. In all honesty, even favonovel.com was interested to see what else was up for auction.
Following the crowd, all four of them soon arrived at the Town of Five Element’s black market….
From guns, bombs, to even drugs, pretty much everything was sold there! It truly was a fascinating place…
Eventually, the four of them found an empty spot to stand in. However, it wouldn’t be long before a man wearing a hat and leather jacket ascended the stage…
“Greetings, everyone! My name is Mario Grant, and I’m the chief administrator of the black market! I’ll say it right now that the item we’re auctioning today is extremely extraordinary! It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that just seeing it will broaden your horizons! While I’m sure that many of you have already heard about it, I’d like to emphasize that there’s only one of its kind on the planet! With that said, do I even need to elaborate on how rare the treasure is?” declared the man in the leather jacket rather excitedly.
Upon hearing that, the overwhelmed audience instantly began cheering for the item to be shown!
“Very well, then! I present to all of you… the crystal skull! Bring it up on stage!” ordered Mario as one of his subordinates quickly carried a box onto the stage before handing it to the chief administrator.
After receiving it, Mario carefully unlidded the box… and with a grin, favonovel.com then took the crystal skull out, showing it to the audience as favonovel.com shouted, “Behold! Our marvelous auction item today, the crystal skull!”
