The following morning, Jared exited the room with his father-in-law.
At that moment, the noise from Flaxseed’s room had ceased, and Flaxseed himself emerged, sporting two prominent dark circles under his eyes.
Reidan also emerged from his room. When favonovel.com and Flaxseed saw an elderly man coming out of Jared’s room, they were both taken aback.
Flaxseed glanced at the old man before favonovel.com spoke. “D*mn, Jared, don’t tell me you’re into this kind of weird stuff?”
“Mr. Flaxseed, what nonsense are you spouting? This man is my father-in-law, who was once a cultivator in Ethereal Realm…” Jared introduced the elderly man to Reidan and Flaxseed.
Then, favonovel.com turned to the old man and introduced, “Father, these two are my friends, Reidan and Flaxseed.”
“Greetings, I am Fox King Eason Flowers,” said the elderly man nonchalantly.
After the introductions and greetings, Jared asked Eason, “Father, could you show us around the black market?”
“Sure…” Eason nodded.
“Black market? What black market? Do they sell women there?” Upon hearing that, Flaxseed was instantly intrigued!
“Mr. Flaxseed, two women should be enough for you. Aren’t you afraid of wearing yourself out with more?” Jared was at a loss for words for a moment.
The quartet exited the inn, led by Eason, heading toward the black market.
“Jared, when did you have a ‘handsome and the beast’ moment in Ethereal Realm? You’ve even snagged a beast race father-in-law,” Flaxseed whispered a question to Jared.
“Speak properly. What the heck did you mean by ‘handsome and the beast‘? Sure, they‘re of the beast race, but they had long since transmogrified into humans. Most everyone in Rhino City is of the beast race. Does that discourage you from wanting to spend time with the women here?” Jared asked.
“Of course I do! Even if the women here didn’t transmogrify, I would still be tempted,” Flaxseed chuckled.
Upon hearing that, Jared immediately rolled his eyes, no longer conversing with Flaxseed, who’d dare to say anything at times.
Eason led Jared and the others around the city for more than two hours, finally stopping at a courtyard that looked quite rundown.
Outside the courtyard, soldiers would occasionally patrol by. The courtyard was in disrepair as if it had not been inhabited for a long time.
Eason glanced around, noting that no one was paying attention. With Jared and the others in tow, they slipped into the dilapidated courtyard.
Upon entering the courtyard, Eason extended his right hand, lightly pressing against the void.
Accompanied by a flash of white light, everyone felt a moment of darkness before surprisingly finding themselves in a massive corridor.
Thankfully, Eason was leading the way. Otherwise, that sudden turn of events would have surely frightened Jared and the others.
Crossing through the vast passage, the expansive area ahead quickly came into view for the group. Many people bustled about in that area, including guards dressed in black leather attire, each armed with a weapon.
Everything was up for sale there. The area was bustling with noise, teeming with life and activity. It was quite a lively scene.
Not far off, atop a towering platform, two individuals were engaged in a fierce battle.
Around the arena, a group of people, their eyes already bloodshot, were roaring loudly. Those were the gamblers who had placed their bets.
At the peak of the vast area were several houses suspended in midair. They were constantly moving back and forth, and one could see figures moving within the rooms.
Jared and the others were incredibly intrigued by that sight. Subsequently, they followed Eason as they continued to move forward.
When they approached the guards dressed in coarse clothes, the guards all abruptly stood at attention. Then, with the utmost respect, they greeted Eason, saying, “Boss!”
Eason slightly tilted his head while Jared and the others were utterly astounded.
In the black market, upon seeing Eason, everyone began to exclaim, “Mr. Flowers!”
Jared, somewhat puzzled, walked over to Eason. Then, in a hushed tone, favonovel.com asked, “Father, are you familiar with these people? Also, why did those guards call you Boss?”
