The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1075
[Chapter 1075 Chaos Area]
Lin Tian and his party of four entered the city.
As soon as Lin Tian entered the city, he felt that the city was different, and the atmosphere around him became quiet.
Just as they entered the city, everyone in the city looked at them.
“Hey, new here?”
A wretched man came in front of Lin Tian and asked Lin Tian and others.
Lin Tian and others did not answer the man’s words, and wanted to bypass him and continue to move forward.
“You don’t know the rules here, do you need me to help you lead the way? At the same time, I will also introduce you to the rules of this city.”
The man hurriedly walked in front of Lin Tian and others and said to Lin Tian and them.
“Oh? What do you need from us?”
Lin Tian asked the man directly.
Hearing Lin Tian’s question, the man was obviously stunned, and he also told Lin Tian the price very directly.
“Why don’t you go and rob it? It’s so expensive.”
After hearing the price quoted by the man, Lin Tian said directly to the man, and then wanted to continue to move forward.
“Is it very high? Maybe you are a newcomer and don’t know the rules here. The prices here seem to be a little different from those outside. When you thoroughly understand this city, you will find that what I said is true.”
The man continued to speak to Lin Tian and the others.
Lin Tian looked at the man for a long time with half-belief and half-doubt. He didn’t believe what the man said, but if he hadn’t introduced this city to Lin Tian and the others, Lin Tian and the others would not know the rules of this city.
So, in the end, Lin Tian agreed to let the man lead the way for himself and others, and also introduce this city.
“This is not a city, but a small town, located at the junction of Yan, Zhao and Qi, and belongs to the list of no man’s land. And because it is very far away from the borders of the three countries on three sides, it has developed into what it is now.”
The wretched man spoke to Lin Tian and the others, and Lin Tian and the others listened carefully.
“This city has a city lord, who is the highest manager of this city. He is the one who usually solves any problems in the city, so everyone who meets him respects him very much.”
The man was just talking to Lin Tian about some insignificant things, but Lin Tian didn’t want to continue listening.
“But there are rumors outside that this is a chaotic area, and I don’t see any chaos here. What’s going on? If you can’t explain it to me clearly, then I really won’t give you the money.”
Lin Tian threatened the man.
“Hey, hey, guest, don’t talk nonsense.” The wretched man looked nervous after hearing Lin Tian’s words, and wanted to come up to cover Lin Tian’s mouth, but was dodged by Lin Tian.
“Sir, this is not the place to talk about these things. If the people in the city lord’s mansion hear it, I’m afraid you will be arrested.”
The wretched man whispered to Lin Tian when he was close to Lin Tian.
“Then take us to a place where we can talk about these things. I really want to know these hidden rules.”
Lin Tian said to the wretched man.
“Then follow me.”
The man said, and then walked forward first. After seeing the man’s reaction, Lin Tian and the others also hurriedly quickened their pace to follow him.
The man took Lin Tian and the others to a teahouse and found a seat in the corner and sat down.
“Waiter, bring two pots of good tea.”
The man said to the busy waiter. As soon as
Lin Tian sat down, he heard the tea drinkers in other seats talking about something that seemed to be some information that could not be heard in other places in the city.
A tea drinker took a sip of tea and said to his companions: “Have you heard about it? I heard that there will be a boxing match today.”
His companion replied: “Why haven’t you heard about it? It is said that a rich young man in the city robbed a man’s woman, and the man came to the door and wanted the rich young man to pay for his life.”
A tea drinker at the next table was also attracted by their conversation and said to them: “This rich young man found a man with strong martial arts skills to deal with that man.”
The tea drinker at another table also said: “Really? This is going to be interesting.”
“Everyone, don’t talk about the following things here, I still want to continue to open this teahouse.”
After hearing their conversation, the shop owner hurried over to stop them from talking.
“Hey, shopkeeper, don’t worry. Teahouses are the places where information is most freely available. The City Lord’s Mansion will definitely not do anything to you.
Besides, other places have already banned public discussions of underground things, but this teahouse is the only one that doesn’t. Doesn’t the City Lord’s Mansion want to spread the news through this teahouse?”
The tea drinkers who were talking were interrupted by the shopkeeper’s words and were very unhappy, so someone spoke to the shopkeeper.
“Yes, shopkeeper.”
Another tea drinker also agreed with what the previous one said.
“Then you can talk, but can you keep your voice down? If you attract people from the City Lord’s Mansion, not only will you be in trouble, but even my small teahouse will not be able to operate.”
The shopkeeper was unable to stop them, so he could only take a step back and talk to them, then shook his head and walked back.
“What do they mean by underground?”
Lin Tian heard the tea drinkers talking about it. She had just walked around the city, but she had never heard of the underground, nor had she seen it, so she was very curious and asked the man.
“Before you entered the city, did you feel that although the city was calm, it was different from the city outside?”
The man said to Lin Tian and the others. After hearing his words, Lin Tian thought about it and it was indeed as he said.
Lin Tian felt that there was something wrong with the city the moment he entered the city, but he couldn’t find where it was. After the man’s words, Lin Tian instantly understood what was wrong.
“This is because you have only seen the surface of this city, and have not seen the true appearance of this city. The underground they are talking about is another appearance of this city, which is completely different from here and the city outside.”
The man continued to say to Lin Tian and the others.
“Oh? How is it different? Tell us in detail.”
After hearing the man’s words, Lin Tian was even more confused about this city, so he wanted to continue to understand it, so he said to the man.
“It’s no use for me to tell you. You can’t see the so-called underground at all. How about this, I take you to have a look at night? But…”
the man said to Lin Tian and the others.
