“Since they are going to kill me anyway, it will be foolish for me to wait for them to do it.”
This has always been Garen’s mentality.
As he stood in front of Ron Belle’s base in the Scarlet Snow headquarters, he raised his head to look at the cars and people entering and leaving the area. There were also various types of flying ships taking off and landing from time to time. However, his eyes did not waver slightly.
Ron’s base was one of the famous trade points in the headquarters, with the best-mutated beasts’ auction, and a variety of stolen goods for sale. This place was the top class stolen goods market for all the noble forces in Planet Scarlet Snow.
This place was known as the Black Capital.
Ron Belle was a crownless king here.
The entire base was located on a snowy high ground in Planet Scarlet Snow, and the size of the base was comparable to a small city.
From the grassland slope where Garen was standing, he saw an endless number of traders and people all over the entire Black Capital.
Moo…
A huge red carriage ship slowly appeared right in front of Garen’s eyes and flew into the air. The surface of the red carriage ship was covered with flashing electronic lights, and there were some detection machinery probes which continuously moved around on its own. It seemed like they were scanning or sensing something.
The carriage ship had a massive, flat quadrangle appearance, and was followed closely by guard ships of different sizes, which were mostly fish-shaped, but also red in color.
A guard ship appeared about twenty meters in front of Garen. Through the glass, Garen could clearly see the driver smoking as he looked around.
Garen was standing on the sideways of the main road of the Black Capital. Since the grassland slope had not been renovated, there were only a few people around. Most of the people around Garen were either here to take their wedding photographs or tourists who were taking sightseeing pictures.
Garen was pretending to be a tourist. With his ordinary black outfit, he did not draw too much attention.
He lowered his head and looked downwards from the edge of the slope, the distances between him and the main road below him was at least a hundred meters apart. From his view, he saw people and vehicles moving around like a stream on the main road.
“To us, each of the three hearted disciples has their own territory and city, and we can instantaneously teleport through such distance, which will only take a few seconds. But for ordinary people, it might take years for them to walk through such distance, and several days even if they were to sit on a transportation spaceship.” Garen lamented. “This is the difference in social statuses…”
He did not startle the crowd by leaping down. Instead, he earnestly followed the tourists down the renovated path and walked slowly.
He found that the people on Plant Scarlet Snow had a lower level of technology than Planet Naga. But after thinking about it, it was only natural as Planet Naga was one of the three major cities for all of the energy machinist, so of course, a small planet would not be able to compare to it.
Bang.
Suddenly, a warm body crashed onto his back.
“Ouch, that hurts!” A pleasant voice came from behind him.
Garen turned around and saw a young girl with long, white hair tied up in a ponytail. She was squatting behind him, her hand held against her forehead, her eyes brimming with tears. Her dressing was stylish, accentuating her slender figure.
“Hey! You bumped into me!” The girl got up and said loudly.
She was just an ordinary person.
Garen was able to tell the difference between the girl’s body constituent immediately. There were not many people who trained in Plant Scarlet Snow, and only very few people had willpower. Even after observing the surroundings for quite some time, he did not find any people with a high willpower in the crowd. However, quite a number of them had trained secret techniques like the Scarlet Snow Technique. Nonetheless, most of them only trained for health and wellbeing, as no trace of murderous intention was found on their bodies.
Garen looked at the girl with interest as he did not know what she was planning to do. It was actually her who bumped into him just now.
Seeing that Garen did not say a word and only looked at her, the girl suddenly felt rusty with her usual blackmailing scheme. She felt her throat getting slightly uncomfortable, and her heart fluttered in panic as Garen stared at her.
“What happened, Sister? Who bumped you!!?” A few young men seemed to be rushing over from behind, but in fact, they were hiding there earlier on and were ready to make a move at the right timing.
Garen smiled at the girl. Even though his smile seemed to be gentle, he, however, gave off a very cold aura. The girl was frightened and she took a step backward.
She had been around for so many years. She made a living out of blackmailing since she was thirteen years old. But she had never encountered such a weird person before.
When she came to her senses, she found out that the man in front of her turning around to leave.
The Black Capital was one of the most chaotic places in Planet Scarlet Snow. It was infamous for its lack of jurisdiction. Even though it was a small area, but it was known as a paradise for being able to get away with crimes. As long as people who have committed crimes from all over the major countries or cities escape into this place, they will no longer be restricted by the laws of their country. But it also meant that once they joined this place, they will no longer be able to clear their name.
This was a city made out of frozen Black Ice. It was a paradise for crime. Those who were not fierce and ruthless will not be able to survive.
“What are you doing, Nurya! Stop him!” The leader shouted furiously from behind.
The white-haired girl immediately came back to her senses. This was the second business for today, and she must not screw it up! She quickly looked for that person, but surprisingly, she found that the guy seemed to have completely disappeared from the path downhill.
“What are you doing!?” Her companions behind her complained loudly. After they came over, they found that the man was already gone. “Why are you still standing here dazed? Go chase after him!”
“Dazed?” Nurya said, “Since when was I in a daze? When did you little bitch saw me stare blankly?” She was also in a rage and started quarreling with her companion. The other two companions got between them and quickly tried to stop the argument.
Not knowing why, as they fought, Nurya recalled the weird person from just now. Usually, when an ordinary person encountered a blackmail, they either panic, tried to escape, or argued angrily; but no one had ever reacted like that person.
When she recalled the look in that person’s eyes, she could not help but shiver. Seeing her companions were about to chase after the man, she immediately panicked and had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
“Anda, don’t go!”
“Why not!? We still have a meeting in the afternoon with the regional boss. We have already lost a business. If we don’t get this, where will we get the money!?” Anda was the man who quarreled with her. He turned around impatiently and swayed his fist. “Don’t even think that I dare not hit you because you’re my sister!”
“Recently…there has been news about aliens recently. I sensed something off with that person. Don’t go after him!” Nurya frowned and felt even more uncomfortable.
“Aliens? Hah?” Anda and the two other companions were left completely speechless. “Sis, did you take too many pills? After reading novels and watching movies all day long, have you started to hallucinate? Aliens do not exist.”
Planet Scarlet Snow was a relatively close-minded planet, it was ruled by the Scarlet Snow Sect Church and the headquarters of the Scarlet Snow Sect was the definition of supreme to all the countries and the ruler of all nations. However, such information was only known by the upper-class members of each country. Ordinary citizens were not qualified to know all these. They did not even know that this planet was able to connect to other planets, and this secret was also known by people with a higher social status. Ninety-nine percent of the people were living in the illusion that the government created.
“Anyway, don’t go!! Isn’t it the same in the morning! I am not allowing you to go!” Nurya bossily pulled her younger brother’s ear, causing him to call out in pain. “Follow me home!”
Since the boss was taken away, the rest of them had no choice but to dismiss.
******************
Garen walked slowly to the side gates of the Black Capital, which was located right on the sidewalk. Two men dressed in black suits were guarding the gate. The formal clothing here looked a bit like the Tang Suit on Earth, but their buttons started off from right to left and extended to their left waist.
“Sir, our Master has waited for a long time.” One of the men had both hands in his sleeves, and the palm of his hands cannot be seen. He bowed and lowered his head to salute. He had a harmonious smile, and it was the same for the other person. In fact, both of them actually looked the same, as if they were twins. Even their standing posture was the same.
“Senior Brother is waiting for me? What an honor.” Garen answered with a polite smile.
Three hearted disciples were not allowed to kill each other in public. Since there was no way to completely destroy the other party, there will be no point in making a move in such a place where it was not possible to be shielded by the satellite monitors.
Moreover, he wanted to test his opponent’s strength.
Making a move blindly was not his style. The best way, of course, was to let the other party die unknowingly so that he will not be involved.
“Please lead the way.” He said with a faint smile.
The two of them nodded, turned around and walked forward.
No one cleared the path or welcomed him with a big fanfare, the three of them walked among the stream of people, and he seemed like an ordinary wealthy businessman who was being treated as a guest.
Entering the city, people were everywhere. Car honks, curses, and advertisements from the flying spaceships could be heard. There were also open-air stage performances, with women dressed in sexy clothing, short skirts, black stockings, and bikinis. There were luxury cars and spaceships, all sorts of noises, blasting music, and a black man with a beautiful dog…
With the different sounds and noises blending together, the entire city was alive chaotically and glamorously.
The ground was a little dirty, with condoms and bottles with blood stains in almost every corner. It was fair to say that this place was a mess.
Two cleaning robots were smashed and abandoned in a corner, its red warning lights flashing constantly. The robots stench of urine, someone must have urinated on them.
Garen was led to a luxurious black airship. It was large and oval, with a black horn on top with large portraits of beautiful ladies and drag queens printed on the side. Ten meters in length, it was slightly overbearing yet flashy.
“Welcome to the Guerni.” An electronic sound rang out.
As he entered the spaceship, Garen saw a man in an open-chest gold suit wearing sun shades glasses seated on a white sofa. He was hugging two blondes, one on his left and one on his right. There were also two beautiful women at his feet, carefully massaging his leg.
The man had his golden hair styled into a unicorn-like horn, it was very eye-catching.
“Welcome to my kingdom!” The man stood up and opened his arms. He had a very flashy and arrogant temperament. “Fifteen, as your Senior Brother, I’m very happy that you came to visit me…”
The man took off his shades. Even though his features were ordinary, he had an arrogant aura and extremely strong willpower. It was enough for Garen to instantaneously recognize who he was.
“Senior Brother Ron, it is a great honor for you to welcome me personally.” He smiled and stepped forward. The two blondes brought him a couch and placed it right in front of Ron.
