Red Leaf Town, Slums:
Although it was still daytime, the Enchanted Bar was packed with Red Names walking along the edge of darkness. However, among this group of people, there were a few Green Names that seemed out of place. These Green Names were none other than Ironsword Lion and his subordinates from Martial Union.
"Absolute Heaven, I want you to kill someone. Name your price," Ironsword Lion said as he looked at the cold-faced man drinking across from him.
The cold-faced man did not pay any attention to Ironsword Lion. Instead, he hugged a voluptuous beauty while holding a bottle of wine in his hand, minding his own business as he chatted with the beauty. The corners of his lips curled up into a naughty smile. The feeling he gave off was nothing but coldness.
Ironsword Lion's expression suddenly darkened.
Beside him, Drifting Blood abruptly slammed the table, cursing, "Hey, did you hear that? Our boss is calling you! Don't play dead!"
Just as Drifting Blood finished speaking, he saw a snow-white dagger slash across his neck. Following which, the dagger pierced into his heart. Following which, the dagger abruptly pulled downwards, leaving behind a deep wound. Stabbing, pulling, and slashing, Absolute Heaven's technique was completely natural. Drifting Blood did not even have the time to react or scream before he fell to the ground.
"Absolute Heaven, what are you trying to do? I'm here to discuss business. What is the meaning of killing my subordinate?" Seeing Drifting Blood instantly dealt with, Ironsword Lion bellowed. However, he did not dare to take action, because he knew that if he were to take action, he would suffer the same fate as Drifting Blood.
"Because I like it. Why? Do you have any objections?" Absolute Heaven casually brandished his dagger, coldly looking at Ironsword Lion, smiling.
"You …" Ironsword Lion went mad with anger. However, he did not dare to curse out loud.
Absolute Heaven was an assassin in the real world. Moreover, he was quite famous. In the game, he was even a top-tier expert. However, very few people knew of him. Those who knew of him had all been assassinated by him. Ironsword Lion had been killed by Absolute Heaven a few times in a Wuxia game. Hence, he became acquainted with Absolute Heaven.
However, Absolute Heaven's temper was very strange. If he was not interested in something, regardless of how much money one offered, he would not do it. Only when he was interested would he be willing to do it. Even now, he had not failed even once.
If they threatened or forced Absolute Heaven, they would often end up in a bad situation.
In the past, Ironsword Lion had seen a financial backer that insisted on Absolute Heaven killing a player back to Level 0. However, Absolute Heaven refused to do so. That financial backer was not a good-tempered person, and he even threatened to deal with Absolute Heaven. In the end, that financial backer was killed back to Level 0 by Absolute Heaven, and he had no choice but to delete his account and start over from scratch.
Seeing that Ironsword Lion was no longer speaking, Absolute Heaven smiled. He then sat down on a chair, hugging a beauty as he drank. He was incomparably carefree as if nothing had happened.
Similarly, Drifting Blood's death in the bar did not attract the attention of the other players. This was because this was how things were in this place. Similar incidents would occur every day, so everyone had long since gotten used to it.
As for Ironsword Lion, he could only take a few deep breaths to calm the anger in his heart.
"Absolute Heaven, don't be so quick to reject me. If I tell you this person's name, you will definitely be interested," Ironsword Lion said seriously.
Absolute Heaven still did not care. It was as if Ironsword Lion was nothing but air.
"That person's name is Ye Feng, and he is definitely a top-tier expert. I only want you to kill him back to Level 0, or delete his account and start over from scratch. You can name any price you want." Ironsword Lion took out a video and sent it to Absolute Heaven. The video showed the process of Ironsword Lion himself being killed by Shifeng. One sword, eight afterimages, and no one could block it. At the end of the video, Ye Feng's sword was so fast that it was impossible to block it.
After watching the video, Absolute Heaven's interest was immediately piqued. He then said, "One million Credits, one-time payment."
Ironsword Lion's heart could not help but twitch when he heard this price. However, he had long since known that Absolute Heaven's price was based on his strength. Normally, the price would be around 100,000 Credits. He never imagined that Shifeng would be so valuable, actually asking for one million Credits.
"Okay, give me your account, and I'll transfer the money to you. However, how long do you need?" Ironsword Lion had also hardened his heart. Even if he had to take out his entire family's fortune, he would still kill Shifeng to vent his anger.
"Five days." Absolute Heaven laughed excitedly as he looked at Shifeng in the video.
Hearing Absolute Heaven's guarantee, Ironsword Lion could already imagine the appearance of Shifeng going berserk after being killed at Level 0. Hence, he transferred the money to Absolute Heaven.
On the other side, the Shifeng himself had already arrived at Blackwing City.
Blackwing City was one of the most mysterious cities in God's Domain. The degree of prosperity far surpassed Star-Moon City. Just by standing on the streets, one could see majestic and gorgeous European medieval buildings everywhere. Even at night, Blackwing City was a city that never slept.
Even the NPCs walking on the streets were all over Level 100. There were even quite a few Tier 2 and Tier 3 NPCs. According to rumors, even the King of Starmoon Kingdom would have to show some respect to the City Lord of Blackwing City, not daring to offend the City Lord.
In Blackwing City, there were many interesting things to do. If one wanted to sightsee, they would need to spend at least several weeks to do so. Blackwing City also had many Masters of various Lifestyle Classes living here. The items they made would often be sold in the shops. Moreover, one could also purchase items unique to various countries in Blackwing City. This was a treatment that one would never receive in an ordinary city.
Among the various attractions, the most famous one was the Auction House. The Auction House here would hold an auction once a week. Moreover, the items sold here were all rare items sold by NPCs. There were even Epic Equipment for sale. These were items that could not be purchased in the outside world. Hence, the upper echelons of various powers wanted to come here.
Even if ordinary players came here, they would only come here to sightsee. After all, they could not afford the items sold by the NPCs. In addition, there were no monsters here, no quests, and no leveling up. This was a city purely for trade. It was a heaven that the rich loved the most.
"The auction will start in two hours. I'll go buy some specialties first." Shifeng looked at the time. Seeing that it was still early, he hailed a horse carriage and headed towards Blackwing City's Commercial Street.
Blackwing City was too large. If one were to walk, it would take at least two to three hours to reach the Commercial Street. Normally, players would spend money to ride a horse carriage. However, the cost of a horse carriage was not cheap. The starting price was 1 Silver Coin. Depending on the distance, the price would vary. Currently, ordinary players might not even be able to afford a horse carriage …
After ten minutes or so, Shifeng alighted from the horse carriage and arrived at an engineering shop.
This engineering shop was not large. It was only a two-story building. An old wooden sign hung above the entrance, with the words "Kreutz's Workshop" written on it.
Although the shop looked unremarkable, Shifeng knew that this workshop was opened by the Engineering Grandmaster Kreutz Gaia. He was also the only Engineering Grandmaster in Blackwing City. As for the other engineering shops, they were all opened by Engineering Masters or Engineers. Although these shops appeared prosperous, the items they sold were both expensive and inferior. In the past, Shifeng had also been scammed by these shops.
Shifeng pushed open the door and entered.
The shop was guarded by a girl with two ponytails. Her name was Luciola.
If one used Observing Eyes to observe this girl, they would discover that although this girl looked weak, she was actually a Mage. She was also a Level 100 Mage.
A Level 100 Tier 2 Mage could easily annihilate Red Leaf Town. If she dared to make a scene here, she would be turned into a pile of ash.
