Eason smiled. “It’s because this place is known as Fox Spirit House, and I am its owner.”
“What?” Jared was shock.
He had never expected that Catina’s father, his father-in-law, would have such a vast black market in Rhino City.
Does this mean I can leverage my father-in-law’s influence and do as I please in the black market?
Flaxseed and Reidan quickly stepped forward, asking the stunned Jared, “Jared, why have you never mentioned that your father-in-law has such a significant influence?”
Jared was rendered speechless for a moment.
I also just knew I have a father-in-law and that favonovel.com has such a vast black market…
“Come with me,” Eason said, and then, with a gentle leap, favonovel.com went straight into the floating room.
Upon seeing that, Jared and the others followed suit and entered the room.
Upon entering the room, it was clear that the space was lavishly decorated. Through the room’s window, one could get a clear view of the entire black market.
“Jared, is my place to your liking?” Eason asked with a subtle smile.
“Absolutely. I never imagined you to be so formidable, Father. In just a few centuries, you established such a massive force,” Jared showered Eason with compliments.
Eason, however, chuckled and said, “Running a black market is nothing to brag about. In Rhino City, there are over ten black markets of this scale. When it comes down to it, I’m merely working for those aristocratic families. They handed off all the matters they found difficult to handle publicly to us. If you want to speak about influence and force, no one in Rhino City can surpass the city lord.”
Upon hearing that, Jared was deeply moved by the fact that Rhino City was so vast that there were over ten black markets of that scale.
Jared recalled Quinlan, and so favonovel.com asked, “Father, what about the Laberge family’s influence in Rhino City? I think I may have offended someone from the Laberge family last night.”
“Quinlan may love to show off, but the Laberge family isn’t that influential. If the Laberge family dares to mess with you, I can handle it. Besides, think about it. If they were truly powerful, they wouldn’t need to cheat in the match to enter the city lord’s mansion…”
“The truly influential families in Rhino City don’t have to go through such trouble. They’ve already sent their offspring to the city lord’s mansion,” Eason scoffed.
Jared pondered for a moment, realizing the truth that powerful families really did not need to resort to cheating in the arena.
It was akin to scions of great families in the mundane world not needing to attend and cheat at an exam with the commoners. With a single phone call and a meal, their spot would be secured for them, tailored to their requirements.
“I see, so favonovel.com was only showing off. in that case, I don’t need to be scared then.” in truth, Jared was worried about Quinlan seeking revenge.
After all, they were strangers in a strange land. Both Flaxseed and Reidan were of the human race. If their identities were exposed, they would be kicked out of Rhinoceros City.
“From now on, I’ve got your back. Just don’t act too arrogant and offend any big shots, and you‘ll be fine. Also, make sure your two human friends don‘t reveal their identities. If they do, no one will be able to protect them,” Eason said.
“Don’t worry, Father. I will make sure they are cautious. I’m going to try my hand in the arena and win a few rounds!” Jared was getting antsy, unable to hold back any longer.
Though Jared might not necessarily be a match even when using his full strength, favonovel.com could deal with his opponents easily if they were only competing with their physical strength.
“You’re not doing that. This is our turf. If you go up there and beat everyone away, no one will come back. My business will be ruined,” Eason lectured.
