Lou Yi has been searching for Wang Shan for a long time. She did it because when she heard the story of him defiling many innocent women, she was so angry. She felt like she needed to get revenge for all the innocent girls.
With her mind filled with sense of justice from young age, she started tracking down him.
Now, 5 years have passed and she still could not find her.
When she heard that Wang Shan has fled, she came to the only place she thought he might be hiding.
More than a year have passed, she asked everywhere she could think of.
She went to every secret places that sells information. But she still could not find him.
Part of the reason for that is because Wang Shan is a master of disguise and his speed techniques.
When all hopes seemed loss, she decided to visit the black market, one last time before she left for other place.
To her surprise, she saw a street vendor selling information. So, she decided to test her luck.
Like luck was on her side today, the vendor asked her if she wanted the information to be handed on paper or talk.
She did not react for a moment.
Seeing the woman standing there in dazed, Jin An once again said. "Would you like it on paper or would you like me to say it?"
The sentence brought Lou Yi back to reality.
She shook her head to clear her mind. Then, she looked left and right, like looking for people eavesdropping their conversation.
Just to make sure no one was listening, she put out a silencing formation.
After she put up the formation, she then nodded to Jin An. "You can just tell me now."
Jin An looked at the woman and said. "Do you want the whole information or just the hiding place?"
Lou Yi did not wait for a second, she instantly replied. "I just want the location he is hiding."
Jin An nodded and said. "That will be 15 low spirit stones."
Lou Yi reached inside her pocket and took out 15 blue spirit stones.
When Jin An got the spirit stones, he knew they were water spirit stones.
Without changing his expression, he accepted the spirit stones.
After putting the spirit stones away, he turned his head up and said. "His cover identity is the current owner of the Lonely Leaf Traven. His real identity is the secret leader of Long River Gang."
When Lou Yi heard the information, her face was filled with shock. She never thought that the friendly old owner of the Lonely Leaf Traven would be the man she has been hunting for a long time.
She even helped that old owner just by going there everyday.
She gritted her teeth and tighten her both fists in extreme anger. She even felt ashame that she could not even identify the culprit that was right in front of her.
But eventually, she took a deep breathe and calmed herself. Then, she gave her thanks to Jin An. "Thank you." and left the stall with a firm expression on her eyes.
Jin An kept his eyes on the woman as she kept getting farther and farther from the stall.
After thinking for a while, he decided to let one of the spider camera follow her.
That incident only took for about 5 to 10 minutes, which is way faster than buying from other information shops.
All the surrounding stall owner did not believe the woman got the information she desire in just less than an hour or half an hour.
But deep down, they could guessed the result from the woman's expression.
All of them kept looking at Jin An from time to time.
About half an hour later, Yu Zhe came back to the stall. But this time he brought two man with him.
From a little away, Jin An could see two man following behind Yu Zhe.
When they arrived at the stall, they did not waste a time and went straight to the point. "Is it true you can give us the information we want?"
Jin An rised his eyebrows hearing the direct question. Since it was his first day and he believed the two man would not ask for exaggerated questions.
So he nodded confidently.
Seeing his action, the two man looked at each other with some signs in their eyes. Then both nodded discreetly.
All of these things did not escaped the eyes of Jin An and Yu Zhe.
After their discreet interaction, one of the man said. "Then give us the information of Wang Shan."
Hearing the words, Jin An was surprised. Not because he could give them the information, but because they asked for the same information as the previous woman in red.
Without changing his emotions, Jin An firmly said. "That will be twenty five spirit stones."
This time it was the turn for the two man to surprise. They never thought that the vendor would have the information of Wang Shan. They came there with some intention to make difficult for the stall and report to the counter as fake. So that the stalls license would be revoke.
Then one of the said. "The price is too much for just a little information."
Jin An did not change his tone, he simply said. "I know why you want Wang Shan's information. And my price is fair."
"How so?" One of them asked.
"Because you guys will get 100 spirit stones just for finding him. And I'm just taking 1/4 of that. Not only that you guys will get another 100 from the government."
Both the men instantly realized that the owner of the stall really knew the information of Wang Shan. At the same time, they showed an excited eyes through the cover.
"One minute." The two men stepped aside to discuss.
After 10 minutes of discussion, they came back to the stall.
"We only have 20 spirit stones on us. But, if you can agree to give us the information, we will add a treasure map. We don't know if it is real or not so thats your risk." The leader of the two negotiated.
Jin An thought for a moment and nodded. "Ok I agree to it." He did not mind if the map is real or fake, he just made 5 more spirit stones than before.
The two men nodded and gave the map and spirit stones to Jin An.
This time, Jin An just gave them the location of the Wang Shan. The owner of the Lonely Leaf Traven.
Before they left, the two men asked Jin An what if the information he gave them was a fake.
To which Jin An simply said. "We both know what will happen. Just to clear their name, the black market will hunt me down. You know that."
The two men were not stupid. They knew that was right.
After they left, both Jin An and Yu Zhe sat there at the stall waiting for more customers.
But their luck was already over.
During that time, all the surrounding owners showed interest in the information. But none of them approached the stall to buy.
Jin An could guessed the reason. It's simple. He is just a new person in the black market, without any reputation.
So many people are afraid of getting scammed.
Looking at the time, Jin An decided to leave the market. He did not want to wait for the end hour.
With that thought, both Jin An and Yu Zhe quickly left the stall area with the board and other stuffs.
After saying goodbye to the gate keeper, they left the underground market quickly.
The moment they emerged from the boulder, Jin An could sense many people waiting.
All of them are spread around the surrounding abandoned buildings.
And all of them are just small fries at around most at Acquired Qi Realm.
Jin An decided not to waste any time entangled with them.
Using super speed both of them left the area in just seconds.
Shooosh...
The people waiting in the shadows did not even catch a glimpse of their shadow. Seeing that, many of them felt sweats pouring out from their body.
None of them thought that they would bet for a large and dangerous fish.
Just from the speed they left, many of them can guessed the strength.
One of them murmured to himself. "They are True Qi Realm experts."
Gulped.....
He swallowed a mouthful.
------
On the other side, Jin An and Yu Zhe arrived back at their house minutes later.
After changing their clothes, they both entered their respective rooms. Both of them did not talk about the situation.
Inside his room, Jin An was lying with his back on the back.
In front of his face, a small screen was floating.
He was particularly looking at one part of the screen.
[Upgrade to Level 2?
Cost 100 energy stones.
Benefits: Host will not need to upgrade the range. Instead host would only need to buy the network tower (very small in bird form of others) to set up the range. One network tower is enough for one city, no matter the city is big or small.]
Jin An felt the system was intentionally hiding it.
After he converted the spirit stones to energy points, he clicked the upgrade button.
