As Chen Rui expected, when he went to the Cloak Gang again to take out the moonlight stone and the fountain of life, Master Xingxing didn't hesitate anymore and directly agreed to stay in the Cloak Gang's request.
As for Skye, Chen Rui knew that this dark elf master had secrets, so it wasn't appropriate for him to show up in public. At present, the flower of mist hadn't been found yet, so Skye wouldn't leave. However, after the last incident, both Xingxing and Skye seemed to be inspired. Later, Chen Rui took out several legendary grade equipment from the poison dragon's treasure. Both of them learned from it while learning from it. Especially Master Xingxing, his attitude toward Chen Rui was much better.
Under the intentional or unintentional teaching of the two masters, Chen Rui's mechanics improved rapidly.
Chen Rui went to Mountain Xilang again and brought the wyverns to the black rainforest. The Wyvern King, Galen, was very satisfied with the environment here. For the sake of caution, the poison pond was placed in the middle of the Dragon Inscription area where the devil fruit was obtained. Relying on the "natural barrier" of the Dragon Inscription, it could further cover and protect the wyverns. Of course, in order to avoid accidentally injuring the wyverns, many inscriptions were removed and transferred with the help of Paglio.
When this Dragons came to the black rainforest with injuries, their strength was already quite weak, so the inscriptions laid were not particularly powerful. According to the shape of the skeleton, Paglio should be a red dragon with the power of flames. As for the three things left by this Dragons, a metal doll, a bead and a magic map were also puzzling. Even Paglio couldn't see the origin of the metal doll. The bead contained a huge water power, so it was probably some kind of secret treasure. As for the map, it was probably the location of the red dragon's treasure. However, because it was incomplete, the clues it could provide were too limited. Although Paglio was very obsessed with treasures, he could only look at the map and sigh.
Northwest Block, the location of the Mellon Family.
In the room, the patriarch of the Mellon family, Lombardo, was frowning. Beside him was the elder of the Mellon family, Lonal.
"Chief, our shop has been smashed several times. The guards were also killed and injured. From time to time, troublemakers came, and our business was greatly affected. The other shops that paid protection fees were fine. Those people must have been sent by the Cloak Gang! We must find a way to solve it as soon as possible! "
Lombardo's face was gloomy, "The problem now is that even if we know that these people are sent by the Cloak Gang, we can't do anything. The leader of the Cloak Gang, Aguile, was obviously Princess Royal's new favorite force. As long as we didn't go too far, Princess Royal wouldn't care. Moreover, we were on Joseph's side, so we could only swallow our anger. Actually, the money from the shop is a small matter, but since the Gorefiend Gang that we support was destroyed, the Dark Moon City has been completely controlled by the Cloak Gang. Our important business to the south can't be carried out normally. "
Ronal thought for a while and asked, "Can we use Joseph's power to deal with the Cloak Gang?"
"Hmph! I'm afraid it's impossible. Joseph said that this is a critical period. He asked us to avoid conflicts with the Cloak Gang as much as possible. "Lombardo looked doubtful," I have a feeling that Joseph and Aguile seem to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. Joseph may want to use the Cloak Gang to divide the forces under Princess Royal. It can be seen from Aguile's public support for the human sheriff. However, no matter what Princess Royal and Joseph think, the interests of our Mellon family must be protected! "
Ronal nodded in agreement. At this moment, a servant at the door reported, "Sir patriarch, we received a magic message from the south road."
"South road?" Lombardo was excited, "Quickly bring it over for me to see."
The servant handed over a note, bowed and retreated.
Lombardo opened the note, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He handed the note to Ronald.
After Ronald read the contents of the note, he asked, "I know Lavat. He's the deputy head of the Blue Lava Double-headed Dragon Legion. Who are Cyprus and Dominique?"
"Do you remember the leader of the Gorefiend Gang, Wicker, who was killed by Arux?" Lombardo sneered, "Now the entire city and even everywhere is under the control of the Cloak Gang. The people going south can't be transported out. Lavat came to the Dark Moon specifically to solve this matter. Cyprus and Dominique are both elites of the Double-headed Dragon Legion. Dominique is Wicker's sister. She must have taken the initiative to come and personally avenge Wicker. "
"As long as the Double-headed Dragon Legion takes action, Aguile and Arux will definitely die. Since Aguile supports Chen Rui, the Saiful Family's Old Ford is now in a tense relationship with Aguile. The Saiful Family's shop didn't pay protection fees, so it was harassed by the Cloak Gang many times. We can show our submission to Aguile and pay protection fees to the Cloak Gang. In this way, after Aguile is killed, Princess Royal will focus her suspicion on Old Ford. "
Ronald looked happy and nodded, "Patriarch's decision is really brilliant. I wonder when Lavat and the others will arrive? "
Lombardo said, "Judging from the time of the message, the three of them are already on the way. They will probably arrive at the Dark Moon in about seven days. You immediately inform those shops to submit to the Cloak Gang. Remember to act discreetly and don't leave too many traces. "
Ronald bowed, turned around, and left.
Lombardo's eyes narrowed: If it's just to solve the human trafficking problem, Lavat doesn't have to come personally. Dominique already has a grudge with the Cloak Gang. Letting her directly eliminate Aguile and the others will solve the problem once and for all. Lavat came for a more important matter. This matter was of great importance and was very secretive. Even a confidant like Ronald couldn't reveal anything.
The news that the Mellon Family submitted to the Cloak Gang immediately spread throughout the Dark Moon. Initially, there were still many shops that were watching. Seeing that even the Mellon Family, one of the two veteran families, had such an attitude, they obediently paid the protection fees to the Cloak Gang. Only Old Ford of the Saiful Family was still tough. He led one or two small families to continue to refuse to pay the protection fees. However, this was already an individual exception. From the overall perspective, the Cloak Gang had basically grasped all the shops in the Dark Moon.
In fact, in the eyes of the merchants who had paid the protection fees, the Cloak Gang was not bad. They didn't bully and squeeze money step by step like the previous forces. Instead, they followed the guarantee of collecting the protection fees and fulfilled the duty of protection. After the Cloak Gang killed a batch of the gangsters who harassed the merchants as a warning, they no longer dared to be presumptuous. Many of them simply joined the Cloak Gang. People who did business had their own calculations. Compared with being bitten by big and small moths in the past, it was much more cost-effective to be bitten by one now.
For the buyers, merchants who cheated others like Silva would also be sanctioned by the Cloak Gang. Of course, merchants valued profits. Even if the Demon Realm's commerce was far less developed than the human world, there were inevitably many small tricks. As long as they didn't cross the bottom line, the Cloak Gang naturally wouldn't care.
On the second day after the Mellon Family submitted, the Cloak Gang launched the long-prepared night market.
The so-called night market was a market that mainly did business at night. The Cloak Gang organized a group of vendors to gather together and opened a night market called "Night of the Dark Moon" in the originally deserted southwest street.
Night was the time when the dark elements were the most active. The Demon Realm's people who liked to hang out at night were no less than during the day. It was just that because the original nightlife was too monotonous, there was no such concentrated market.
In order to attract customers, the price of the night market was 30% off. The vendors' prices were originally cheaper than the shops. As a result, many people came after hearing the news. The most attractive thing was a specialty operated by the Cloak Gang: the hot pot restaurant.
The way to eat the hot pot was very peculiar. It was a large basin with an adjustable fire stove under it. There was hot meat in it. The fragrance was so tempting that people had never tasted before. Various vegetables could also be added to boil it.
At first, some people were just attracted by the fragrance and had the attitude of trying it out. Some were even forcibly pulled over by the Cloak Gang. However, when they really tasted the taste, they realized how wonderful it was. Moreover, the price was not expensive. Slowly, the name "hot pot" began to spread.
The temperature in the Demon Realm at night was very low. Eating hot pot while drinking the strongest strong fruit wine was more enjoyable than being a Demon God.
In the beginning, many vendors were surprised that the Cloak Gang rebuilt a big house as a shop. After all, the night market was small in scale. In just a few days, the shop was filled to the brim. What was even more tempting was that the hot pot restaurant was not open during the day and only opened at night. For a while, people flocked to the night market, and the business of the surrounding vendors also became better.
"It's only been a few days, and it has become so lively here." Ms. Sasa exclaimed as she led Alian and Eve to walk in the noisy night market. She used to follow her father, Didi, for many years. She did business at night more than once, but she had never seen such a lively night market.
Chen Rui smiled. This was just the beginning. If it developed smoothly, the scale would be much larger in the future.
"Mr. Aguile's talent is really …" Skye sighed with emotion. Aguile's current mechanical level was already faintly equivalent to the initial level of the master level. What was even more incredible was that he was actually proficient in metal, leather, and accessories. That kind of terrifying learning ability could not be described with accurate words. Not only that, Aguile also had Demon King-level strength and such a flexible business mind.
"He's a freak." The dark goblin master, Xingxing, added jealously. His tone changed again, "If you have excess energy, you might as well put it on mechanics!"
Although Xingxing's tone was very rude, there was no lack of advice. In fact, the dark goblin master and the dark elf master had received a lot of inspiration from this "Aguile". For masters who had reached a certain peak bottleneck, this kind of inspiration was particularly valuable. Therefore, Xingxing still had a good impression of this Cloak Gang leader who tricked him to stay. The most important thing was that his future father-in-law, Old Didi, was his servant and loyal.
Chen Rui could hear the good intentions of the dark goblin master. Every skill had its specialization. An ordinary person's energy was always limited. Only by focusing could he achieve higher progress. The problem was that he wasn't an "ordinary" person, and alchemy wasn't the biggest goal he wanted to pursue.
Power. Only with power could one truly transcend fate. Only with power could one truly protect the things one treasured.
Arux and Vasasha, who were in charge of the order of the night market, happened to walk over here. When they saw Chen Rui's incarnation of "Aguile", they bowed together. Since Royce was currently working undercover on Joseph's side, it was not appropriate to be with Chen Rui in public.
At that moment, two people appeared on the opposite side, a man and a woman.
The man was strong and burly while the woman was good-looking and well-developed. They were originally a very ordinary couple, but Chen Rui felt a murderous intention. A very strong murderous intention was directed at Arux.
[Analytical Eyes] showed that the race of this man and woman were both "Great Demon (mutated)". Their comprehensive strength assessment was C and C-.
Early stage of Demon King and intermediate stage of Demon King!
