Douluo: Purple Brilliance Shines, Sun, Moon, Mountains and Rivers Are Forever

Chapter 46: Layout, a wedge driven into the black market
"Your Highness, he is only a seventh-level soul guide. Is it necessary to go to such great lengths?"

"What? Are you still angry about his bad attitude before?"

"Of course I'm angry! He even wanted to kill His Highness. If it weren't for Master Ma, we really might have capsized in the gutter."

Xu Tiance touched her little head and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."

"A seventh-level soul engineer is indeed nothing in the Sun-Moon Empire. There are countless people who are better than him. But in the Xingluo Empire, where soul guides are backward, he is definitely a rare treasure. Moreover, he is a madman who is obsessed with developing war weapons."

"If such a person cannot be returned to the Empire and used by me, he must not be left to the Xingluo Empire, where he might one day help the enemy deal with us."

Meng Hongchen hugged his arm and leaned gently on his shoulder. "Your Highness's actions have their own reasons. There are some things I may not be able to fully understand for the time being, but I will always support Your Highness."

Xu Tiance pinched her little face affectionately and said, "Your support is very important to me. Thank you."

"It's almost time. Whether it's life or death, it should all come to an end."

When the two returned to the armory, the one-eyed boss still looked depressed.

"Mr. Ma, what's going on?"

Ma Lao shook his head helplessly, "Ever since His Highness left, he has looked so lifeless until now."

"Forget it, it's just a rat hiding in the dark sewers. There's no need to keep it alive. Just kill it."

"Yes, Your Highness."

At this moment, the one-eyed boss seemed to sense something, and his dazed eyes refocused.

Perhaps it was because he was about to die that he finally realized that he could not let go of the hatred of the past, or he did not want to see the person who caused him to fall to this point still high and mighty. Even if he had to go to hell, he would drag the evil villain to hell forever.

"My name is Hawke. I'm from Mingdu and I studied at the Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy."

Seeing Hawke finally speak, the three of them smiled at each other and came to him together.

"It seems that you have made your choice."

"Yes. I know that if I refuse, I will never be able to leave this armory again. I won't accept this. Why should I be reduced to this state while that bastard is still at large, living a life of drunkenness and debauchery?"

"Can you tell me who you are talking about?"

"He has some close connections with people in the royal family. Do you think it would be useful to tell you?"

Oh my god, why do I always run into trouble involving the Sun and Moon Royal Family wherever I go?
First, there were the short-sighted people who tried to scam the royal family, and now there are the historical problems left behind by the royal family's dependents. What on earth are these parasites in the royal family doing all day long?
"Whether it's useful or not, haven't you already made your choice?"

"Yes. I've been on the run for so many years, but I'm still destitute, with nothing to lose, and revenge is a distant dream. Rather than continue like this, I might as well take one last gamble with this broken body. At least, you look quite remarkable."

"All I can say is, you seized your last chance."

Xu Tiance gave Ma Lao a look, and the latter understood and immediately untied Hawke.

"It's getting late, so I'll get straight to the point. Hawke, you've been in the underground black market for so many years, you should be familiar with the black market situation in Xingluo City."

Hawke nodded. "Yes, I've hardly ever left the black market in all these years. I've been working here all the time."

"Very good. With your help, my plan will proceed relatively smoothly. Please help me find out which black market dealers have the items on this list."

After taking the list and looking at it, Hawke swore that he had never seen anyone buy things like this on the black market.

"Is this 'Soul Bone' just a Soul Bone? Soul bones have always been a rare commodity, not often seen on the black market." "It's just that the market is good because of this tournament. I heard some black market traders have gotten a few rare Soul Bones, but they may not be suitable for you."

"No problem. No matter what kind of soul bones they are, no matter how many there are, I want them all! Whether they are suitable or not is not your concern. You just need to tell me who has them and how many there are."

The corners of Hawke's mouth twitched stiffly. "You rich bastard, you think you're so rich? Look how proud I am of you."

You are so generous when buying things, so you can't be so stingy when paying me. I know you are rich, so don't try to fool me.

When Xu Tiance buys soul bones, it would be best if he can find one that suits him, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t. He buys soul bones indiscriminately in order to win people’s hearts and enhance the strength of his subordinates.

There are so many soul masters in the army, there must be someone who can adapt to the soul bones.

Since ancient times, spirit rings are common, but spirit bones are rare. Each one is hard to come by, and top-level spirit bones are priceless.

"Okay, since you've said that, I'll tell you everything. However, I'm not sure about some of these black market traders. I've only heard about them before, so I need time to verify them."

"It doesn't matter, just make sure it's done before the competition is over."

"Besides that, I can confirm there's news about a top-level spirit bone."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Soon, there will be a top-tier auction on the underground black market. The organizer is none other than the underworld king of Xingluo City. It is said that a top-tier 100,000-year-old soul bone will be auctioned."

"What a generous act! They're even putting up a 100,000-year-old soul bone for auction. How much do you know about this soul bone?"

"These are just hearsay, don't take them seriously. If you're interested, I can ask someone to find out for you."

"Good work."

"So, you want everything on this list, no matter what it is or how much there is?"

"Someone will come to contact you someday. You will be responsible for contacting the seller. In addition, I hope you can also introduce me to some arms dealers and soul masters you know who are promising candidates for recruitment."

"This this……"

Xu Tiance frowned slightly, "What? Is there a problem?"

"No, it's just that time is tight and the task is heavy. Should I continue to run this small shop?"

"Hahaha... you're leaving soon, what's the point of still running this place? I'll give you another three million gold soul coins, and I'll buy everything here, including you. Do everything I tell you to do, and as soon as the competition is over, move immediately back to the Sun-Moon Empire. Any other questions?"

Hawke was completely stunned when he heard this. Is this how rich people speak with such confidence? So damn arrogant!

"No... no problem."

"Good boy! Then, the black market affairs are left to you. Mr. Ma, Meng'er, let's go."

After taking a few steps, Xu Tiance stopped and turned around to look at Hawke again.

Feeling Xu Tiance's malicious gaze, Hawke broke out in a cold sweat on his back. "You, do you have anything else to say?"

"Don't be nervous. I just want to give you a warm reminder. Do your best and don't have any bad ideas. This is your last chance with me. I wish you a good performance."
