“Have you confirmed that the person must be there?” Shi Man asked with a frown.
Sean nodded with certainty. Then, he realized that Shi Man could not see him. He replied in a very certain tone, “Boss, I’ve almost searched the black market with my men. Only this place has not been searched. If there’s nothing in the Netherworld Pavilion, I’m afraid our judgment is wrong. They didn’t hide anyone in the black market at all.”
“I understand.” Since that was the most likely place to hide someone, Shi Man might as well go and try. In any case, she was confident that she could escape unscathed no matter where she went.
At this moment, the black market was sparsely populated.
Daytime was not the time for them to do business, but once night fell here, it would be noisy.
After Sean and the others arrived in the capital with Shi Man, in addition to cleaning up the stronghold that they had used previously, they also wanted to figure out the person behind the black market in the capital. This was very important for their future operations.
They had been to the black market in the capital a few times in the past, but the business they could do here was not something G City could compare to. Moreover, they now had another enemy, Lin Si, who was hiding in the dark. Sean could only be vigilant at all times. After a long time, he finally found some clues.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to figure out the mission Shi Man gave him so quickly.
Now, he brought his subordinates and hid his true appearance. He pretended to chat and slowly drank tea in the restaurant opposite the Netherworld Pavilion until a beautiful girl wearing a silver mask stopped in front of him.
“Boss, you’re finally here!” Sean was clearly very excited to see Shi Man.
After thinking about it, it had been a long time since they had met since Boss came to the capital. They had only contacted each other through the phone.
Shi Man nodded lightly and glanced at the other customers in the restaurant. She narrowed her eyes and said, “There are too many people here. Let’s go out first.”
Sean quickly got up and went to the bar to settle the bill. Then, he followed Shi Man carefully.
Those who could come to the black market were not simple people. There were countless people who met here sneakily like them, so the boss did not care much.
However, someone in the corner put down his teacup with interest. When he stood up, his white shirt rubbed against the edge of the table, creating a line of creases.
He gently smoothed the corner of his shirt and unfolded the fan in his hand, revealing a beautiful landscape painting.
“Boss, the bill.”
His voice was also cold, as indifferent as his own.
The boss could tell at a glance that this person was extraordinary. He did not dare to be negligent and immediately jogged over to serve him. “There’s no need to pay. These cups of tea are on me. If you like them, come to my shop often next time. I’m always welcome.”
The man curled his lips and chuckled, but the white mask on his face did not show any joy. “Boss, I can only come again next time after receiving the money.”
He stretched out his hand slightly and left a bronze sign. Then, he turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
The boss was stunned for a long time when he saw the sign. Then, he realized what it was and hurriedly grabbed it and put it in his pocket.
This thing was not worth much outside, but only people who had been in the black market all year round knew how expensive this brand was.
Its material was not worth this price, but the meaning it symbolized was extraordinary.
That thing was a token that the Netherworld Pavilion would distribute to every VIP!
With this bronze plate, no matter what the guest wanted to store in the Netherworld Pavilion, the price would be reduced by 30%.
This discount did not seem to be much, but if one calculated carefully, it would definitely be a six-figure number.
They had been operating n the black market all year round and most of them had some secrets that they did not want to be discovered. That was why the business of the Netherworld Pavilion had always been popular.
The boss had only offered a pot of tea with a small cost, but he had received such a huge discount from the Netherworld Pavilion. How could he not be happy? He immediately planned to find some rare food to entertain this esteemed guest next time.
Outside, Shi Man brought Sean and the others out of the restaurant and went straight to the Netherworld Pavilion.
It was an extraordinary building. Although each building was not built high, with so many buildings stacked together, it was enough to see how powerful the Netherworld Pavilion was.
It had to be known that it was not easy to occupy a place in the black market. Moreover, it occupied such a large area in one go.
The master behind the Netherworld Pavilion should be the person who ruled the entire capital’s black market.
Seeing that Shi Man was about to rush into the Netherworld Pavilion without caring about anything, Sean was afraid that she would have a conflict with someone because she did not know the rules. He quickly stood in front of her and said, “Boss, I’m afraid you don’t know the rules here. No matter what the guests have deposited with them, they will never reveal it to a third party other than the confidentiality agreement. Therefore, I’m afraid we won’t find anything if we go in like this..”
