Chapter 824: I'm Just a Cat
Chapter 824: I'm Just a Cat
Shadow City, Darknet's underground market.
Darknet has a presence in most cities around the world. They should be the top organization in the underground world, with their influence spanning the globe, and their power makes all the dark duelists in the world tremble.
In many places, they are the law. No one dares to defy them, and no one dares to utter a word of dissent against their decisions. If any club is dissatisfied with their policies, they will make those people understand the consequences of defiance.
However, this set of rules doesn't work here.
As for why, organization members generally don't like to bring it up, and even less dare to mention that taboo name.
A young man in green clothing descended the dark staircase. After turning several corners, there was finally light at the end of the corridor.
Two black-suited security guards stood at the entrance. The young man showed his Darknet membership card, and the guards respectfully stepped back and bowed to him.
What a familiar name, I didn't expect to still hear about Moth's news in the world of duelists at this time.
This novel's latest chapter is first posted on 69shu.com, please go there to read it!
"Power is everything, and I realized this a long time ago," Moth said, shrugging.
"Of course," the Manager nodded, "We are completely unaware and will not get involved in any possible disputes that may arise."
"Forgive my frankness, Mr. Moth. You don't know who you're dealing with."
"I'm not like that useless Long Qi."
Moth straightened his body and spoke coldly.
"Are you joking? So the rumors are true?" Moth asked in a deep voice, "Are you, the mighty Darknet, actually afraid of that guy? That newcomer called Revolver who just started out not long ago?"
Yu Xuan was on his way out of the final exam when he received the news from Hannover's subordinate.
Moth furrowed his brows.
"Your... partner?" the Manager asked.
"Any information can be bought and sold, as long as the price is right. Isn't that the rule?"
"What brings such a legendary figure here?"
Moth: "..."
The Manager's face turned awkward, and he scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Two days ago, my partner recovered something very important in this city. Now he's missing, and I want to know where he went and what exactly happened."
But just before leaving, he paused for a moment and turned back to look at the Manager.
"Get me in touch with Hannover Knight."
When he first heard that the vast Darknet, a worldwide organization with unfathomable influence, was actually afraid of a newcomer called "Hannover Knight," he instinctively thought it was just a rumor.
"Alright. Looks like I'll have to meet this Hannover Knight directly and find out what's going on."
Moth didn't shake his hand but instead crossed his legs and confidently chuckled, nodding, "So, you're the Manager here?"
Great Temple's voice then came from the other end.
"Just say that Insect Moth is looking for trouble."
Moth straightened his body.
Moth was startled by such an extreme reaction and instinctively took a step back.
"So, will Darknet remain absolutely neutral?"
As soon as he said this, the Manager's expression changed, and his body even stood up from the chair uncontrollably.
Of course, he didn't have to take the exam if he didn't want to. He went only to test his performance in a specific subject.
"If you or the forces you represent have any conflict with Revolver, Darknet is unaware."
"Perhaps, but I didn't come here for that."
Great Temple: "Meow?"
"I know. But Darknet's branches are well-informed about any underground world activities in their respective areas, and I'm aware of this unspoken rule."
"I thought you were someone of importance, but it seems I overestimated you."
"Listen, no matter what important item you've lost, if you've lost it in this city, it's best to consider it gone forever."
Moth spoke coldly as he walked to the door.
The young man entered the room, walked through the entire trading market, and sat down in a waiting room. He only rested for a moment before a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance pushed the door open and sat next to him.
"Your partner, Dino DragonZai, he's a cautionary tale."
"Huh? Insect Moth?"
"Is it a bit excessive to have a cat answer the phone, boss?" Great Temple complained.
"We won't casually pry into Revolver's business."
"Haha, you're right. Since that's the case, you're a VIP guest of DarkNet." The manager smiled, "We can seek more cooperation opportunities in the future."
He was almost certain he saw fear in the manager's eyes.
"Umm..."
"Manager?" The beautiful secretary stood up, sensing that something important was about to happen from his expression.
"Help me take him down, but do it quickly and keep him alive."
"Alright, I understand. But I've been busy lately and don't have much time."
The manager spoke coldly.
You Xuan pondered.
You Xuan waited on the phone for a moment. A cat's meow was heard first, followed by the sound of something being knocked over.
"There's a troublemaker who seems to be looking for trouble, probably searching for the nameless spirit I encountered before. He might know something about that spirit."
"To be honest, I was quite surprised to learn that someone like Mr. Moth had also come to our dark side."
"Yes, sir."
"Alright." Moth shook his head and stood up without even taking a drink.
The manager spoke indifferently.
After Moth left, the manager immediately returned to his office after a brief moment.
The contact from Hannover reported.
"Yes, a message from DarkNet, boss Revolver."
"Oh, the legendary Mr. Long Qi." The manager showed respect but shook his head regretfully, "This matter has nothing to do with DarkNet."
But the manager quickly adjusted and sat back down, lowering his voice.
"We don't usually mention his name."
"The legendary Dino DragonZai."
You Xuan tilted his head and thought for a moment.
"This is the rule in other regions, but the situation here might be a bit more complicated."
"Then, put me through to Great Temple."
"Dino DragonZai, you must have heard of him." Moth said.
"You should know everything, including what happened to my partner and where the thing he was originally chasing went."
The manager poured tea for Moth in a leisurely manner.
The middle-aged man smiled and extended his hand to the young man.
The manager didn't mind and signaled for his subordinate to close the door and sat next to Moth.
The original version is available at 69shu.com! 6=9+shu_bar, the first to release this novel.
But now, not only is it not a rumor, the rumors might have even been conservative. So, what kind of existence is Revolver, that a DarkNet manager would be so intimidated just by mentioning his name?
You Xuan laughed, "Is that so? I was planning to assign you a task."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
Then, Great Temple's helpless voice came through, "You know I'm just a cat now, right?"
