In the beginning, Lin Huang was sorting out the Emperor's Heart Rings one by one, categorizing the items. He did not bother with the useless items as they would not take up his storage space. However, after a few hours, he only managed to clear tens of Emperor's Heart Rings. He looked at the time and knew that he would not be able to clear all of them in three days.
Considering the low efficiency, Lin Huang decided to give up on categorizing the items. He planned to sort them out after he cleared all of the storage rings.
That way, he could clear the Emperor's Heart Rings much faster. However, it took Lin Huang a day and a half to finish it at 10 p.m. the next day.
There were more than 1,300 storage rings. There were a lot of items in them. They filled both of Lin Huang's Emperor's Heart Rings and one-third of the storage ring that Leng Yuexin gave him.
After putting the Emperor's Heart Rings that were scattered all over the floor into the storage ring, Lin Huang looked at the time and decided to take a shower to rest early.
Just when he walked out of the bathroom, his Emperor's Heart Ring vibrated.
Lin Huang glanced at it and realized that it was Yi Yeyu's number. He put on his pajamas immediately and picked up the video call.
"You took so long to pick up my video call. Are you doing something shady?" Yi Yeyu then noticed that Lin Huang's hair was wet. She figured out why he did not pick up the call earlier.
"There's nothing shady about it. I'm just taking a shower and it's not convenient for me to pick up the call," Lin Huang said as he wiped his wet hair with a towel. "Is there any news from your side?"
"I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Yi Yeyu smiled mischievously.
"I only want to hear good news. You don't have to tell me bad news." Lin Huang dried his hair with a dry towel. From Yi Yeyu's expression, it was not difficult for him to tell that she had found out about the dracaena.
"Then, I'll tell you the bad news first." Yi Yeyu smirked.
Lin Huang shrugged. There was nothing he could do to stop the other party's willful behavior.
"The bad news is that more than a month ago, all the Chambers of Commerce sold off their stocks of Dracaena. I've asked around and none of them have any dracaena in stock. "What Yi Yeyu found out was bad news for Lin Huang.
"What's the good news?" Lin Huang guessed that there must be other ways to get the dracaena.
"I heard that there will be dracaena being auctioned at the Mystery Auction." Yi Yeyu did not want to keep him guessing.
"Mystery Auction?" Lin Huang was unfamiliar with the name.
"The Mystery Auction is an exclusive auction for the aristocrats in Division7. They only accept members of the aristocrats. It was only held once a year, and this time, it would be held forty-three days later. Basically, there won't be any items that are lower than a grade-3 relic. "Yi Yeyu looked a little strange as she talked about the auction.
"Can you bring me to the aristocrats' auction?" Lin Huang frowned and looked at Yi Yeyu.
"I really can't bring you to the auction. My great-grandfather has set up a rule that forbids the children of my family from joining the auction. "Yi Yeyu forced a smile and shook her head.
"Why?" Lin Huang was puzzled.
"You should know that there are two aristocratic families in the military in Division7, right?" Yi Yeyu asked.
"Is the Mystery related to the Dongfang family?" Of course, Lin Huang knew that besides the Yi family, there was also the Dongfang family in the military in Division7.
Yi Donglai from the Yi family came from Division3. Due to some reasons, he joined the newly developed Division7 and soon became the most powerful person in the military in Division7.
However, just when he achieved something, one of the aristocratic families in Division2 was interested in the benefits in Division7. They supported the Dongfang family and sent them to the military in Division7. Since then, the Dongfang family rose rapidly and became the second most powerful family in the military in Division7.
Due to their relationship with Division2, the Dongfang family had been infiltrating the military in Division7. Therefore, the Yi family, especially Yi Donglai, was not happy with the Dongfang family.
Of course, that was the basis of the conflict between the two families. It was not the main reason.
"The Mystery Auction wasn't set up by the Dongfang family. It was set up by the Dongfang family. They have a lot of dirty businesses and the Dongfang family is secretly providing the dirty sources of goods for the Mystery Auction. My great-grandfather's political disagreement with them is not the main reason for the bad relationship between the two families. It's because the Dongfang family is too dirty. "
"Drugs?" The first thing that came to Lin Huang's mind was dirty businesses.
"It's even dirtier than that." Yi Yeyu shook her head.
"Human trafficking?!" Lin Huang immediately understood.
Yi Yeyu nodded in silence and continued, "The Dongfang family has been capturing abandoned or lost children in Division7. Some of them will be sent to the Mystery Auction. Of course, they're not selling them openly. They're doing business behind the scenes. However, they're not doing it openly either. They'll auction all kinds of mutants. "
The so-called mutants were the descendants of the Blood of Sin.
Most of the first generation of the Blood of Sin were born from the forced mating between humanoid monsters and human women.
The Coalition government treated them as mutants back then and slaughtered many of them. However, a small number of them survived.
Therefore, the Blood of Sin was passed down.
Speaking of the mutants, Lin Huang could not help but think of Xiao Mo whom he met in the Purple Crow.
Although the Coalition government strictly forbade the killing of mutants, discrimination was still unavoidable. It was rare for the organizations to accept mutants.
Even open-minded organizations like the Hunters' Association and the Adventurer's Paradise did not accept mutants, let alone other organizations. That was also the reason why Xiao Mo chose to join the Purple Crow. He had no other choice.
"The Coalition government strictly forbade the sale of mutant slaves, right? Is nobody doing anything about it?! "Lin Huang frowned and asked.
"The Coalition government is in a war now. They don't have the time to care about this. Moreover, those who dare to do this business have a strong background in the core zone. Some of the family heads in the core zone have to respect even the Coalition government's chairman. Of course, the people under them can only turn a blind eye. Even if someone reports it, they'll just make a few scapegoats. The real organizers will disappear for ten days to half a month at most. After that, they'll still be doing their business. "Yi Yeyu was clear about the stakes.
"These people are so despicable!" Lin Huang recalled Wei Can whom he had killed earlier. There were too many people like him who had no conscience in this world.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I can't bring you to the auction anyway." Yi Yeyu added, "I remember that you're quite close to the Leng family. Ask them for help. It's just bringing someone in. It's a piece of cake for the Leng family. "
"Alright, thanks! I'll ask the Leng family. "Lin Huang nodded." I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free! "
As the saying went, one would not be burdened by too many debts. Lin Huang could not even remember how many meals he owed.
"Prepare more Life Crystals! If there's a demand for dracaena, the price won't be cheap. "Yi Yeyu reminded him and hung up the phone.
