Chapter 39

After a messy night, the entire northern district was in complete chaos!

The Wester family and some gangsters had searched for Adams all night, but they still found nothing even after expending much effort.

Whenever they were about to catch up to Adams, he would always disappear one step ahead of them. When they were about to give up on tracking him, he would reveal his whereabouts again, forcing them to grit their teeth and chase after him, all the way until he vanished completely in the morning.

However, the people who were after Adams didn’t dare to leave the Northern district so easily, because they didn’t know when Adams would appear again.

At this moment, Adams, who was wearing a black cloak, had already arrived at the edge of the Northern district. Looking at the tall and mysterious courtyard before him, he took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

“Who is it, rapping on the door so early! Are you tired of living?!”

The front door opened and a burly man in his thirties sleepily cursed.

Adams did not argue with the burly man. He quietly took out a C-rank ore from his quantum ring and waved it in front of the burly man. Then, he said calmly, “I heard that this place acquires goods at a fair price and never questions the origin of the goods, is that right?”

When the burly man saw the ore in Adams’ hand, he instantly perked up and said with a smile, “That’s right! We have the backing of the biggest gang in Lion City, the Feral Tiger Gang. We are honest and our prices are fair. We will not bring you any trouble after the transaction!”

Adams nodded and said with a smile, “Alright, I’ll give you a huge business today!”

Seeing that Adams looked rather confident, the burly man knew that he must be a big customer. He quickly moved aside and said, “Please come in!”

Adams followed the burly man into the courtyard and headed straight for the discussion room. The faint smile never left his lips.

Back in the Zerg realm, Adams had learned from Vivian that the Kevin Family and the Wester Family had planted some forces and manpower in all walks of life in the city. The Feral Tiger Gang, which dominated the Northern district, was a secret force under the Wester Family.

Anyone who lived in the Northern district would know where the Feral Tiger Gang’s territory was. Adams was no exception.

After a night had passed, Adams felt that it was about time to give the Wester family some excitement!

In the living room, the Feral Tiger Gang’s appraiser carefully inspected the ores that Adams had brought over. He nodded his head and said, “Not bad! This is Skywater Ore. Moreover, its composition is very pure. Sir, may I ask how many of this ore do you have? What price do you want to sell it for?”

Adams showed them five fingers and said casually, “There are a total of 50 Skywater Ores! You can name your price, but I have to remind you that this is not the only material I have. The price you offer will determine whether we have another transaction!”

“Fifty pieces!”

The appraiser’s voice broke in shock. Seeing that Adams’ expression remained unchanged, he realized that he had lost his composure.

After regaining his composure, the appraiser rubbed his hands excitedly and said to Adams, “To be honest, I have never come across a big business of purchasing 50 pieces of C-rank ores in one go. Since you have given us so much face, we can’t be stingy either. We’ll buy 50 pieces of Skywater Ores for 30,000 imperial gold coins. Is that okay?”

“Okay!” Adams nodded with a smile. Then, he took out another 49 Skywater Ores from his ring and handed it over to the Feral Tiger Gang.

According to Vivian’s valuation, the lowest price of a C-rank ore was 500 imperial gold coins, and the lowest price for 50 pieces of Skywater Ore was 25,000 imperial gold coins!

Adams knew that the reason why the Feral Tiger Gang was willing to pay a high price of 30,000, was to leave a good impression on him so that they could entice him, who was a potential big customer like him. Since he needed money now, it would be impolite to refuse!

After verifying the number of ores, the appraiser immediately asked his subordinate to bring out a chest filled with gold coins from the back hall and placed it in front of Adams.

“Sir, here are 30,000 imperial gold coins. Please check!” the appraiser respectfully said to Adams.

Adams waved his hand and put away all the gold coins. He stood up and said, “There’s no need. I trust you! I’m very satisfied with this cooperation. I’ll visit you again when I need money!”

The appraiser hurriedly followed Adams into the courtyard and said earnestly, “I wonder if it’s convenient for you to reveal your name or your address? I don’t mean anything by that, but we don’t just acquire materials here. Sometimes, we also sell some rare treasures. When we have something good, we can send someone to inform you!”

“My name is Adams. I’m currently living in the Northern district, but I’ll be moving to the Southern district soon!” Adams replied to him, pretending not to be on guard.

“Oh, I’ve noted it down. The Feral Tiger Gang looks forward to your next visit!” the appraiser said respectfully as he escorted Adams to the door.

After exiting the base of the Feral Tiger Gang, Adams immediately left the Northern district and headed straight for the Western District. That was the largest market in Lion City and also the place with the most people during the day.

At noon, the 50 Skywater Ores acquired by the Feral Tiger Gang were sent to the Wester clan.

Sitting on the patriarch’s seat, Jude had a dark expression on his face. He looked at the Feral Tiger Gang’s appraiser kneeling before him and asked expressionlessly, “Are you sure his name is Adams?”

“Yes, yes! He told me himself that his name is Adams. He used to live in the Northern district and will be moving into the Southern district soon!” the appraiser said in a quavering voice.

A cold smile suddenly appeared on Jude’s face and he said, “These ores were only sold for 30,000 gold coins, whereas the smallest house in the Southern district costs 500,000 gold coins. Looks like he has quite a lot of items on him!”

The appraiser immediately chimed in, “That’s right! He must have a lot of resources on hand! He didn’t even blink when he sold 50 pieces of Skywater Ore, and he even said that he would come back to do business with us when he ran out of money!”

Jude closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “You can go back now. Keep your eyes open. The moment this Adams appears again, inform me immediately!”

“Yes, yes!” The appraiser hurriedly nodded before swiftly retreating.

Sitting alone in the room, Jude looked strangely conflicted.

He was now certain that Adams still had a large amount of resources with him. This was definitely exciting news.

However, he couldn’t find Adams anywhere. This bothered Jude.

All of a sudden, Jude recalled what Jayce had said before. He sat up abruptly and muttered to himself, “Vivian might know Adams! Looks like I have to make a trip to the Kevin Family!”
