Chapter 1438
After entering the tower, Raphael seemed very familiar with the place as he led Leon to the basement.
“Mister Westwood, what kind of place is the black market? Does it belong to anyone from theunderworld?”
Leon asked curiously.
When he was in Springfield City, he never visited the black market before. However, he was quite closeto the Southern King, and he heard about the black market from Vincent. So, he knew that the blackmarket would usually involve some major power in the underworld.
“Yes, this is the Black Gorilla’s territory. He’s a subordinate of the Southern Boss,” Raphael nodded andsaid.
“Who’s the Southern Boss?” Leon was surprised.
“The Southern Boss is one of the four Bosses of the underworld. His forces are at the level of a majorfamily,”
Raphael briefly explained everything.
Sky County was split into five regions, which were the Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western, andCentral regions.
Other than the Central region, which had a more unique circumstance, the other four regions were splitup and controlled by the Four Bosses.
The Southern Boss controlled the underworld of the Southern region. His power and influence were noweaker than a top–tier major family!
It was far away from the level regular ancient martial arts families like the Westwoods and theScammells were at!
“How amazing!” Leon was surprised to hear that.
He was already in the Southern region for a while, but it was his first time hearing about one of themajor powers in the city!
“That’s right. The fact that the Southern Boss managed to rule over the underworld of the Southernregion means he isn’t someone to be trifled with! However, don’t worry. The Black Gorilla is in charge ofthe black market here. The Southern Boss is usually quite busy himself, there’s no way he would behere.”
Raphael laughed in sympathy, thinking that Leon was scared by the Southern King’s name.
After that, the two of them chatted as they walked into the basement.
The basement was massive. It was no smaller than the building above.
It was incredibly bright, and various stalls and displays could be seen. There was a huge crowd, and itseemed like they were in an incredibly bustling city area.
It was Leon’s first time in such a place. He wanted to walk around to see if there was anything valuable.
However, time was of the essence. Raphael was in a rush to get to the auction for the Mystical DragonJade. So, Leon decided against it as he followed Raphael to the center area.
That was the area that was meant for auctions!novelbin
Normally, anyone who had something expensive would hand it over to the people in charge of the blackmarket to auction it off in hopes of getting a higher price!
At that moment, the wooden chairs by the sides of the auction were already quite filled.
Most of them were young men wearing very eye–catching clothes. They were obviously people withsubstantial backgrounds.
It was obvious they were all there for the Dragon Jade!
When Leon and Raphael both entered, a young man around thirty years of age to the right suddenlyhad a sharp glint in his eyes.
“Oh, I was wondering who it was. If it isn’t Raphael Westwood, the dog of the Thompsons!”
The young man laughed with a mocking look on his face. He had an arrogant air about him as if he wasbetter than everyone else.
Behind him were two guards who looked quite impressive.
