In a manor near the black market in the Southern District of Foka Tower.
As the business district of Foka Tower, the Southern District was even more lively than the Eastern District.
Not only was there a black market here, but there were also many other foreign organizations, merchants who came to trade, and tourists who came here for sightseeing.
That's right, even in a chaotic city like Foka Tower, there were tourists. Moreover, the number of tourists every year was shocking.
To the City Hall of Foka Tower, the income from tourism was an important part of their financial income.
On the surface, this manor belonged to a big merchant in the Southern District, but the real owner was Lieutenant General Philon.
Of course, this was not a secret. Anyone who paid attention would know about this manor. This was also why the people in the Southern District kept a respectful distance from this manor.
"Is that Lieutenant General Philon's car?"
On the second floor of a restaurant not far from the street, Zhuang Chen was surprised to see a military hover car drive into the manor.
Beside him, You Ya looked at the manor. Through the shade of the trees, he saw the license plate of the hover car. It was indeed Lieutenant General Philon's car.
You Ya nodded. "It's indeed Lieutenant General Philon's car. Why is he here? Is he also going to participate in the black market auction?"
"I heard that there's a mysterious finale item in this auction. It's much bigger than the auction in the City Hall. It's not surprising that Lieutenant General Philon is going. Should we pay him a visit in advance … "Zhuang Chen muttered.
"I won't be going."
You Ya shook his head. "Lieutenant General Philon treats you well, but he doesn't like me. You should go by yourself."
Hearing this, Zhuang Chen looked at his friend helplessly. The two of them had known each other for a long time. During the battle at the City Hall, they appreciated each other and were considered good friends.
After all, as the young kings of the Eastern Continent, it would be beneficial for their future if they could communicate with each other.
In the future, the young kings of the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent would definitely clash. It would be helpful for them to get familiar with each other and work together against their enemies in the future.
Over the past few days, Zhuang Chen had some understanding of You Ya's personality. This person was fine in front of his peers, but he was not willing to interact with his seniors. It was not that he was resistant, but he could not be open in front of them.
When interacting with these seniors, this kind of personality was naturally not well received. But not many seniors would find your eccentric personality pleasing to the eye. Those seniors were all eccentric seniors.
For people like Lieutenant General Philon, he was a straightforward soldier. He liked to do things straightforwardly and was submissive in front of him. Of course, he didn't like it.
"Yuya, you can't do this. You still have to interact with Lieutenant General Fayron …"
Zhuang Chen still wanted to say something, but the corner of his eyes suddenly moved. He turned his head and saw another hover car slowly approaching, driving into the manor.
You Ya also looked over and saw that the hover car had stopped in the manor. The door slid open and a figure stepped out of the car.
As if sensing their gazes, the figure tilted his body slightly and glanced over.
Immediately, Zhuang Chen and You Ya were like cats whose tails had been stepped on. They felt all the hair on their bodies stand up, and they almost jumped up.
At this moment, the two of them felt a pressure that was as heavy as a mountain sweeping towards them, and it was enough to suffocate them.
Then, the figure retracted his gaze, turned around, and walked into the villa in the manor. The pressure immediately disappeared without a trace.
The two of them looked at each other and saw shock and fear in each other's eyes. That person had given them so much pressure with just a glance.
"Is that Lieutenant General Philon's guest?" Zhuang Chen murmured.
"Did you see that person's face clearly?" You Ya asked in a low voice.
Zhuang Chen shook his head. When the figure turned around, the pressure that swept towards him was too terrifying, and he couldn't see the person's face clearly.
However, even if it was just a vague glance, Zhuang Chen felt that the person was not too old. He seemed to be a middle-aged man.
"At most 40 years old, but his ability is most likely at the pinnacle of Realm Six …" You Ya said in a low voice.
Zhuang Chen nodded and sighed. When he reached this age in the future, it was still unknown whether he could reach the pinnacle of Realm Six.
The two of them exchanged glances. They were curious about who this person was. It was rare to see such a young pinnacle of Realm Six powerhouse in the Eastern Continent.
However, in their memories, there didn't seem to be any Realm Six powerhouse that matched this person's identity.
…
At the same time.
In that manor, Lieutenant General Philon saw that figure. He was the person who drew up the plan, Mr. Bone.
"You're Mr. Bone. Did you draw up this plan?"
In the room, Lieutenant General Philon sat in front of the table. He narrowed his eyes and sized up Mr. Bone. Then, he extinguished the cigar in his hand as a sign of respect.
The middle-aged man in front of him was filled with a noble aura and a piercingly cold aura.
He was like a natural aristocrat who commanded and killed millions of enemies on the battlefield. Even though he had that kind of aura that controlled life and death, he still had that kind of aristocratic temperament in his bones.
Just this kind of temperament was too outstanding. What was even more shocking was the aura that Mr. Bone exuded. It was faintly discernible, but it made Lieutenant General Philon feel extremely fearful.
This person's ability is probably not inferior to mine. If we were to really fight, I might even be inferior to him …
Lieutenant General Philon had this thought a few times in his life, but it was only when he was facing those old monsters who had broken through to Realm Seven. Mr. Bone's ability seemed to be Realm Six, but he gave off such a strong sense of oppression.
In Lieutenant General Philon's life, he had seen many outstanding people. However, it was really rare to see someone as outstanding as Mr. Bone.
Cooperating with such a person, and the content of the plan was actually something that Lieutenant General Philon would be happy to see happen. Naturally, there was no problem.
"I'm Mr. Bone. Lieutenant General Philon, you've guarded the Foka Tower and fought against the Oceanic Beast Army for so many years. I respect you very much. "Mr. Bone sat there and nodded.
At the side, the adjutant who was deeply trusted by Lieutenant General Philon couldn't help but stand up straight when Mr. Bone said this. It was as if this was the only way to uphold the image of a commanding officer.
"Haha … you're flattering me …"
Lieutenant General Philon smiled. For some reason, he felt inexplicably happy. It was as if hearing such words from Mr. Bone was a great affirmation in his life.
This was really a rare person in the world …
Lieutenant General Philon immediately had a new evaluation of Mr. Bone in his heart. His expression became serious as he discussed the plan with Mr. Bone.
The two of them conversed for a while. Lieutenant General Philon read the second half of the plan. While he was shocked, he nodded repeatedly and agreed to cooperate.
"Mr. Bone, I'm actually a little surprised that a person like you would come up with such a plan …"
After discussing the content of the plan, Lieutenant General Philon wanted to say something but hesitated. However, he finally said it. The content of this plan could be said to be interlinked and extremely meticulous.
However, in Lieutenant General Philon's opinion, a person like Mr. Bone had a majestic manner in his speech and actions. This plan really didn't seem like it was formulated by him.
Hearing this, Mossy Bone laughed and said, "This plan really wasn't formulated by me. I'm only responsible for carrying it out. The person who formulated this plan is a young man from our organization. His identity is rather special, so it's not convenient for him to appear. Thus, I'll be responsible for negotiating with the general. "
"Oh …"
Lieutenant General Philon was a little moved. "A young man? Seems like he's a junior that your organization has put in a lot of effort to nurture? Indeed, the development of an organization actually requires such a talent … "
"Yes …"
Mossy Bone laughed and sighed softly. His expression was inexplicably emotional.
…
Moments later, Lieutenant General Philon was the only one in the room. He read the plan twice while listening to his adjutant's report.
"After these people have a secret discussion, only Viscount Roy went to the black market auction?"
Listening to this information and comparing it to the plan, Lieutenant General Philon lit his cigar and took a deep puff. "As predicted in the plan, the person who formulated this plan is a young man? Heh … Interesting … "
After thinking for a moment, Lieutenant General Philon said, "Contact the consul secretly. I'm preparing to break through to Realm Seven. During this period of time, let him command the army on my behalf. Tell the consul that this is top secret, and the information cannot be leaked. "
"Yes."
The adjutant stood at attention and saluted.
He turned his head and looked out the window. The buildings of the black market were not far away. Lieutenant General Philon narrowed his eyes and mumbled, "I want to see whose tail I can pull this time …"
…
Late at night.
A bizarre incident happened at the black market auction. The finale item of the auction that was supposed to be held was suddenly canceled.
The reason was that the seller had reached an agreement with the upper echelons of the black market to cancel the finale item.
This made the guests present very dissatisfied, but they were also amazed. Such an incident was rare.
One had to know that it was not easy to cancel the finale item of the black market auction.
After all, this violated the rules of the black market and would be punished by the entire black market. No force in the entire continent was willing to be targeted by the black market.
Of course, as long as the compensation was sufficient, it was not impossible to cancel the auction.
However, the compensation was a shocking amount, sometimes even exceeding the auction item itself.
Since it was an item for auction, why would they pay such a shocking price to cancel the auction?
Some people speculated that the whereabouts of the finale item might have been secretly bought by someone at a sky-high price, and they even paid compensation.
What was it that was worth paying such a price?
The guests present found the person in charge of the black market and asked for an explanation, but there was no answer.
At this moment, a hover car quietly left the black market. Viscount Roy sat in the car, touching a box and smiling smugly.
"A key worth 3 billion gold coins. This should be the most expensive key in history. However, this item is also worth this price …"
Viscount Roy mumbled to himself, feeling quite satisfied.
In fact, he had only paid 500 million gold coins for the box because he had to personally negotiate. He was the one who had paid the least.
If he could successfully open Cromwell's secret base and find the treasure inside, his contribution this time would be enough to make him a meteoric rise.
"If Your Highness succeeds, will my future title be that of a duke …"
Viscount Roy suddenly had such an ambition in his heart. This was something he did not even dare to think about in the past.
Immediately after, he took out his communicator and contacted the royal guards, ordering them to gather at the designated location.
"Viscount Roy, please explain the purpose of this operation." The voice of the guard captain came from the other end of the communicator.
"This is a ban from the royal family. You have no right to question it. When we arrive at the location, I will show you the royal secret order."
Viscount Roscoe said and hung up the communication. He narrowed his eyes like a poisonous snake, "If I succeed, I can't let these annoying guards stay … Hmph … Who asked you to look down on me in private? Don't blame me for being ruthless …"
