Chapter 1690 The Smuggler
When the drink arrived, Hye saw a big glass cup, one that was the size of his head. It was filled with weird red liquid, one that was shimmering and shining with weird dancing blue arcs of lightning.
"Drink it, if you dare, hahahaha!" the same outlaw who suggested the drink in mockery laughed, and Hye shrugged before taking a sip off it.
The moment he did, he felt like his head was on fire! There was something that went into his body, started to quake and shake him from deep within.
He controlled himself to not tremble, while unconsciously squeezing one of the two perfect balls on the lady nymph's chest. Doing this made the latter faintly moan, before laying her head over his shoulder, breathing slowly while her eyelashes relaxed a little.
"Hey, he drank it, not you, hahahahaha!" seeing this made many laugh. But the fact that Hye tolerated this drink made them know he was someone who belonged to their circle, the vicious and tough circle.
Gradually the hype about Hye's presence died fast, and everyone returned to speak among themselves. Even on the table he was sitting on, no one paid him any more attention.
As he sat there, drinking the weird and explosive drink, he thought he'd get bored. But soon enough, something peculiar attracted his attention, making his eyes and mind jolt in attention.
"... You can go and ask the old man, he is the one claiming to have a way to sell these damn ships…"
The talk on the next table was heated and loud. Someone claimed he could sell spaceships for anyone wanting them, but the price was something that stopped everyone from snatching such a big opportunity.
"Even if I sell one of my wings, it won't be enough to satisfy the price he asked for!" a winged giant outlaw snorted, while others laughed at his comment.
"These are spaceships! And they are the most valuable thing in the universe," the man who welcomed Hye here suddenly appeared. And for a reason, the moment he showed up, weird silence prevailed in the entire place.
"Come with me, he is waiting for you," he motioned to Hye to come, while the latter was still immersed in the act of toying and enjoying the lady nymph.
The latter felt peculiar and shocked at first, but ended up enjoying this. She knew Hye didn't have a sudden change in heart towards her, was just doing this to perfect his image as an outlaw as everyone else.
"Mate, don't bother," but before he'd stand up, one of those sitting on his table whispered, "the prices that man is asking for are quite scary and crazy! Don't think you can afford them."
"Thanks, but I'm already here anyway," Hye slowly stood up, trying to control the immense shock that stormed in his heart. The same smuggler Silverlining arranged a meeting with the same person who had access to spaceships.
This was like hitting the jackpot!
"He is waiting for you up there," the man who led them here in the first place stood at the stairs, seemingly unauthorised to step up with them.
"Thanks," Hye nodded to him, before climbing up. When he arrived there, he found a small wooden corridor, with just three locked up doors up there.
Hye was about to turn and shout at the man down below, asking him about the right door to enter. But he stopped when he heard a faint click, followed by a creaking noise of an old door opening.
"Come inside," a deep voice came from behind the door. Hye looked and all he could see was a poorly lit room, "don't lighten up anything. I love to stay in the dark."
"Suiting a dark person like you," Hye didn't hide his thoughts as he walked through the door. And the room inside was really poorly lit.
There were only three candles, flickering with faint light, in the middle of a big room. The light didn't hinder Hye from seeing through it, but he was surprised to not see anything about the man's features.
All he could tell was that this man had a big body, very muscular, and had many scars as well. As for his face, there was some sort of a black cloud that covered it, allowing no one to see the true face of this smuggler.
"I like your makeup," Hye motioned towards the smuggler's covered up face while sitting opposite to him. There was a small rounded table, made out of pure coloured glass, and the three sat around it.
"I heard lots of things about you," Hye didn't speak first, kept his silence for an entire minute, before the smuggler broke it, "are you really hungry for crystals this bad to start a war here?"
"I heard you are going to get lots of loot from this war, so you should be thanking me instead," Hye calmly smiled, eyeing up this amazing cover up gadget this smuggler had.
He knew getting to be known wasn't a good thing for someone like this smuggler, especially when he was leading a grand group of outlaws, when he was this daring to come into this world and act freely as if he was a clean citizen or something.
"Speaking as if you want a share," the smuggler laughed, and his laugh seemed weird. Hye was sure this smuggler was using another gadget to mask his voice. And as he thought about this, he couldn't help but doubt this was his true body.
"If you are willing, why won't I accept?" Hye shrugged, and the smuggler kept his silence, making Hye feel as if a mountain was leaning on his chest or something.
He couldn't see his eyes, but felt like the two were glaring at him, sizing him up and down. "Hahahaha, little Silvy really loves befriending funny guys indeed, hahahaha!" the smuggler broke into laughter, "I like you! So, how much are you willing to offer from your lovely bones?"
