It was Lin Huang's first time there. Although he had heard about Division3 from Mr. Fu, it was from a long time ago.
He was planning to find a hotel to settle down before trying to find out more about this foothold and Division3. However, he did not expect a 'tour guide' to come to him. Of course, it would be a waste if he did not use it.
Sun Ba and the rest brought Lin Huang to an abandoned warehouse. It was one of their temporary gathering points. They dared not bring Lin Huang to their base camp.
"Master, please ask whatever you want to know. We'll tell you everything we know!" Sun Ba brought Lin Huang into the warehouse and invited Lin Huang to sit on a chair while the rest of them stood aside. In reality, the few of them were still worried that Lin Huang would kill them.
"Is nobody in Sweep City going to do anything about what you did just now?" Lin Huang asked the first question that he had. Theoretically, the Core Zone should have better security than Division7. However, as an A-grade foothold in the Core Zone, Sweep City's security was not as good as any A-grade foothold in Division7.
"Master, is this your first time in Division3?" Sun Ba smiled when he heard Lin Huang's question.
Lin Huang glared at Sun Ba. He immediately stopped smiling and explained, "Actually, other than footholds A1 to A10 that require a pass, the security of the other footholds in Division3 is not good. Sweep City is not an exception."
"Why is that?" Lin Huang was surprised by Sun Ba's answer.
"It's not surprising that you don't know about it. Many people outside of the Core Zone don't know about it. Although Division3 is the Core Zone, it's actually a chaotic place. This is where the headquarters of all the underground organizations gather. Most of the top underground organizations in the world, including the few top underground organizations, have more than 80% of their headquarters here. "Lin Huang was shocked to hear what Sun Ba said.
"Did the Coalition government allow it?" Lin Huang could not help but ask.
"It's not tacit consent, it's explicit consent. More than 200 years ago, the Union Forces had signed an agreement with the underworld forces to give up the benefits of Division 3. On the surface, Division 3 is still under the jurisdiction of the Coalition government, but in reality, it's a place where the underground organizations have separated themselves. "
Sun Ba's explanation finally made Lin Huang understand why the security in Division 3 was so bad. No wonder he dared to call himself a member of the Purple Crow in front of so many people. He was not afraid of trouble. If he was in Division7, someone would have reported him to the Coalition government as soon as he said that.
"So, the people from the Health Department who collected the fines weren't fake, but real staff?" Lin Huang thought that the staff were fake as he had never seen anyone collecting health fines in Division7. However, it seemed like it was possible to collect such a fee under the jurisdiction of the underworld.
"They're considered real staff, but they're not from the Coalition government," Sun Ba explained while smiling.
"Are they from the Purple Crow?" Lin Huang speculated when Sun Ba pretended to be a member of the Purple Crow.
"Yes, Sweep City is the Purple Crow's territory," Sun Ba said while nodding.
"There are 33 A-grade footholds in Division 3. Apart from Sweep City which is occupied by the Purple Crow, which organization is occupying the other footholds?" Lin Huang asked a question that was not shown on the map.
"A1 to A10 are the Coalition government's territories, A11 to A13 are Dynasty's territories, A14 and A15 are the Heretics, A16 and A17 are the Purple Crow …" Sun Ba counted. Basically, A11 to A27 were occupied by the top underground organizations while A28 to A33 were occupied by the top underground organizations.
Apart from Dynasty, the rest of the top underground organizations had similar abilities. The numbers were arranged according to the time they signed the agreement with the Coalition government. It had nothing to do with the overall ability of the organization.
Sweep City was numbered 3A17, and it was under the Purple Crow's jurisdiction.
After understanding the distribution of the organizations, Lin Huang asked Sun Ba a few more questions before leaving.
Sun Ba and the rest watched as Lin Huang disappeared from their sight. They were relieved when they saw him off. In reality, they were worried that Lin Huang would kill them after asking all the questions.
After leaving Sun Ba and the rest's temporary gathering point, Lin Huang activated Lin Xie's identity ring and checked into a hotel in the central area of Sweep City.
One had to admit that although it was not safe, Sweep City was much more prosperous than most of the A-grade footholds in Division 7. The population density was even higher than the White Capital.
Standing on the balcony of the hotel, Lin Huang felt a little refreshed as he watched the flying mounts shuttling through the tall buildings.
There were flying mounts in the White Capital, but they were not used as frequently as they were used. Most of the flying mounts in the White Capital were flying dragons. They were a small sky dragon with only three colors: red, green, and blue. However, in Sweep City, Lin Huang saw more than 20 different types of flying mounts after standing on the balcony for less than three minutes. Some were big, some were small, some were strong, and some were weak. Lin Huang was dazzled by all of them.
"Stupid dragon, can you stop staring at other mounts instead of the road? Didn't I feed you this morning?!" Lin Huang turned his head to look in that direction when he heard a lady scolding him not far away.
A valiant golden-haired lady was riding on the back of a red dragon beast. The red dragon beast was staring at the fat butt of a black-striped duck not far away and was flapping its wings with all its might. It went on a rampage, flying in a straight line. Everything in its path was smashed into smithereens.
Lin Huang's expression turned weird when he saw the red dragon beast because it was charging toward the balcony that he was standing on.
"Stupid dragon, stop right now. There's someone in front!" The golden-haired lady slapped the dragon beast's head hard. However, the dragon beast ignored her shouts and slaps. It only had eyes for the black-striped duck with a fat butt in front of it. Its mind was filled with the pleasure of biting off that butt.
In just a moment, the red dragon beast was charging toward Lin Huang and the balcony that he was standing on. To it, Lin Huang was just an obstacle like the balcony.
"No!" The golden-haired lady screamed and covered her eyes as her dragon beast was about to kill Lin Huang.
However, in the next moment, the blonde girl felt a strong force that stopped the dragon beast from moving forward. She was almost thrown away.
She let go of her hands that were covering her eyes and saw that the black barrier in front of her was fading away. A young man appeared in front of the dragon beast unscathed. Meanwhile, her dragon beast had fainted and was falling to the ground.
She reacted immediately before her dragon beast fell to the ground. She flew into the air and landed on the balcony of Lin Huang's room.
"Thank you. It's a good thing that you stopped it." The golden-haired lady knew that her dragon beast had just fainted. However, after seeing Lin Huang's combat strength, she was curious about Lin Huang. Her dragon beast was on gold flame-level while the young man in front of her was on crimson flame-level just like her. However, he managed to knock out her dragon beast.
Before she could think further, a group of people followed behind her. They were the people whose belongings had been damaged by the dragon beast earlier. They came up to her and demanded compensation.
"I'm sorry. I'll pay for it …" The golden-haired lady bowed and apologized to them sincerely. She then turned around and said to Lin Huang, "I'm sorry. I'll thank you when I'm free after I've settled the compensation."
"It's alright. It's just a small matter." Lin Huang shook his head.
"Of course. I'll come over tomorrow and treat you to something nice." Before Lin Huang could reject her, the golden-haired lady jumped down and recalled her dragon beast. She then left with the group of victims.
