Chapter 94: Meeting with the Information Broker, Slaughter City!!
"Not doing anything?"
A clear voice, tinged with a hint of amusement, rang in the red-haired boy's ears, sending chills down his spine!
The tavern fell into a deathly silence.
Some patrons stared blankly at the silver figure that suddenly appeared behind the red-haired boy, not even noticing the hot liquor dripping onto their crotches.
"Your Highness, Holy Son?!"
"You actually came!"
"What...what...what!!!"
Instantly, everyone in the tavern became excited, eagerly watching the handsome, smiling silver-haired young man.
"On behalf of His Holiness the Pope, I extend my greetings to you all."
Su Chen smiled and greeted him, then turned his gaze to the red-haired boy in front of him who was trembling slightly.
The others followed suit, and seeing the latter's pale face, they immediately felt a sense of schadenfreude.
What could be more embarrassing than being caught boasting by the person in question?
"Well then, I won't bother you any longer. See you next time."
Su Chen nodded, grabbed the red-haired boy's shoulder, and his figure suddenly disappeared!
"Wow, is this the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?"
"She really doesn't put on any airs at all."
The crowd erupted in uproar.
This holy son truly lives up to his reputation as the successor personally chosen by Princess Bibi Dong; he is just as approachable.
"But speaking of which, why would Huo Lingyun say that? Does he have a conflict with the Holy Son?"
"Young and impetuous, plus a few drinks, hahaha, this is going to be interesting."
"oops!"
At the top of the tavern, two figures suddenly appeared from the void. The taller one cried out in surprise and almost lost his balance.
A slightly chilly night breeze swept in, instantly sobering the red-haired youth. He swallowed hard, looked around at the buildings, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, I was just talking nonsense."
"Alright."
Unexpectedly, Su Chen waved his hand to interrupt him, his clear black eyes fixed on the flustered red-haired boy.
"Stop acting. Huo Lingyun's personality isn't that smooth."
He smiled as he looked at the red-haired boy whose body was frozen in place, and tilted his head.
"Didn't you want me to meet you alone? So, are you satisfied with your future boss?"
The air fell silent.
The red-haired boy's pupils constricted sharply as he stared in shock at the calm silver-haired boy. He opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
After a long pause, he gave a bitter laugh.
"How did you find out? I thought my disguise was flawless."
As he spoke, the red-haired boy's figure suddenly changed. With a bone contraction that made one's teeth ache, a slightly cunning-looking middle-aged man appeared in front of Su Chen in the blink of an eye.
Wow, the world is truly vast and full of wonders.
Su Chen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with some surprise.
This should be a characteristic of his martial soul. Judging from appearance and aura alone, this ability to change is already comparable to his transformation technique.
Of course, based on his observation, it should not have the ability to transform into other creatures or objects.
This also shows how flawed the basic Three-Body Technique of Transformation is.
"Your disguise is indeed flawless; unless you are very familiar with the person, you can't tell the difference at all."
The boy shook his head.
"Then what happened to you?"
The middle-aged man was stunned.
"Actually, I didn't notice."
Su Chen thought for a moment and said,
"I planted a mark on you three days ago. I just followed the mark here. It was just a coincidence that I saw you become the captain of Blazing Academy."
"Wait, wait, wait, you're saying you found me three days ago?"
The middle-aged man stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"That's impossible! I hadn't even deliberately had your men contact me three days ago!!"
This really surprised him. You see, the reason he was able to stay at large for so long, selling information everywhere without being investigated, was because he was observant and had an uncanny ability to disguise himself.
Using this, he even escaped from an impossible place.
So now, this holy son has already discovered me?
How could that be?
"Well, to be precise, it was about five days ago. I spent about two days confirming that the dozen or so people observing me were all you, and then I spent a day planting a mark on you."
Su Chen smiled slightly.
The disguise of the person in front of me is indeed flawless, but under the Byakugan that has evolved once, most of the disguises are ineffective.
After all, the flow of soul power in each person's meridians is different, and the possibility of a dozen people having the same flow is too small.
It's less likely that those few people are observing you.
"this"
The middle-aged man swallowed hard, then lowered his head dejectedly.
"I submit, Your Majesty. From now on, I will serve you. I will compile all my intelligence network and information and send it to you later."
Ok?
Is it really that easy?
Su Chen raised an eyebrow.
This information broker was no ordinary person. He thought it would take some effort, but he didn't expect the other party to agree so easily.
"Hehe, Your Highness, I'm not stupid. Why would I let a thriving tree go unsupported?"
Seemingly sensing Su Chen's question, the middle-aged man chuckled and scratched his head.
The life of an intelligence broker is like dancing on a tightrope.
Small factions can't sell their intelligence for a good price, while large factions can easily offend people if they're not careful.
The seven major sects all have fixed sources of intelligence, so even if I wanted to join, I wouldn't have the opportunity.
As for the Spirit Hall, he didn't even dare to think about it.
He was overjoyed when Yin Luo's men found him, but he quickly calmed down and carefully sorted out the differences between joining Su Chen and the Spirit Hall.
I was still hesitant, but after watching today's game, I immediately decided to stick with this team.
"I see, I understand now."
Su Chen quickly figured out the key point and immediately held the middle-aged man in even higher regard.
After all, not everyone can resolutely choose a six-year-old child over a fully grown behemoth.
"Well, Your Highness, since I'm now on your side, could you perhaps put in a good word for me with Tianshui Academy?"
Seeing that the silver-haired boy seemed to have agreed, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands together, somewhat embarrassed, and said...
"I don't know where the ranking went wrong, but Qiu Ruolian, the captain of the Tianshui Academy team, seems to have her eye on me."
Seemingly afraid of displeasing the boy, he quickly added.
"Don't worry, I'm not following you just to solve your problems. I have a top-secret message that I'll use as a pledge of allegiance to the Holy Son."
Su Chen was slightly taken aback, then nodded with interest.
Tell me about it.
The young man naturally wouldn't take this to heart. With just a few words, he could gain the loyalty of his subordinates. Why not?
I also need to get autographed photos for Yin Luo and the others anyway, so I might as well take care of it all at once.
He is now actually quite interested in this top-secret information from the intelligence broker.
If even someone who operates independently of the seven major sects considers it top secret, then it must be no small matter, right?
"You might not believe it, but I swear on my life, it's absolutely true."
The middle-aged man looked around, took a deep breath, and said.
"Have you heard of the Killing City?"
