Dongdong wanted to keep hitting, but Su Mo stopped her: "Forget it, looking at him, he probably really doesn’t know. Don’t waste ti on him."
He took out his phone and called Shangguan Li: "I got so intel here, the mastermind behind this is called Wacai, a warlord from across the sea."
Shangguan Li: "Oh, and then?"
Su Mo: "I only got the na. This kid doesn’t know anything else. We need to find soone who knows the intel and keep digging."
Shangguan Li: "We? The ’we’ you’re talking about doesn’t include , right?"
Su Mo: "Shangguan, who do you think would know intel about Wacai?"
Shangguan Li: "Buddy, you’re the one who confidently took on this job at noon; it’s got nothing to do with . I’m here on vacation."
Su Mo: "Should we go find those intel dealers?"
Shangguan Li: "Hey."
Su Mo: "Where’s the black market again?"
Shangguan Li: "Are you listening to ?"
Su Mo: "It’s my first ti in Saint Rivelan, I’m not familiar with the place."
You could clearly hear a sigh from Shangguan Li.
She said: "Wait for at the crossroad of Cansha Road and Green Shade Road, I’ll be there shortly."
The call ended.
Dongdong: "What did she say?"
Su Mo looked at his phone, lost in thought: "Dongdong, let interview you. What are girls thinking when they’re acting tsundere?"
Dongdong kicked him in the butt, blushing: "You’re the tsundere one! Go away!"
...
Before leaving the small dark room, Su Mo poured gasoline on Wen Ye and set it on fire.
Getting rid of such a heartless black-market doctor was like doing a public service.
The two drove to the agreed location, where Shangguan Li was already waiting.
Her face showed reluctance, but her words were honest: "I’ve been to Saint Rivelan a couple of tis, so I’m familiar with it. There’s no black market like at the Edge, but there are local kingpins, and they’re well-inford."
She led Su Mo into a narrow alley, turned into its depths, and ca to a wall.
"Knock, knock, knock-knock-knock." She tapped the wall with her hand.
"Knock, knock-knock." A rhythmic sound echoed from the wall.
She responded with a different tapping pattern.
After three rounds, the sound of chanical bearings turning ca from the wall, and a gap opened up, revealing a hidden entryway.
The three of them entered the passage and went underground, passing several checkpoints guarded by many fierce-looking n. This must be a gathering place for local gangs.
Soon, they t the gang’s leader, a middle-aged man with gold teeth.
Shangguan Li nodded at him: "Old Bang."
Old Bang was wearing a flamboyant shirt and swaggered over: "Little Sister Shangguan, here to play in Saint Rivelan again?"
When he saw Su Mo, he exclaid: "Oh wow, On Star is here too."
Su Mo: "You know ?"
Old Bang laughed: "If I can’t recognize the famous Seven Stars of New Moon City, I might as well quit the intel business. You’re here for the kidnapping case at Fengsha Road 73, right? How’s it going?"
With the other party so well-inford, Su Mo spoke directly: "Found one person, Wacai. I need all the intel on him."
Old Bang straightforwardly nad the price: "Considering Little Sister Shangguan’s face, I’ll give you the friends’ rate, 850,000."
Su Mo: "Give the account."
After transferring the money, Old Bang took Su Mo to a computer and opened a folder, saying: "There’s 10G of intel, text and videos. Take your ti."
Su Mo started browsing through it carefully, quickly grasping the other party’s details.
Wacai, a warlord from the Land of No Master, self-proclaid "General," commands 1,109 ard soldiers and possesses a large amount of weaponry, including various light and heavy armored vehicles, even tanks.
Besides the regular soldiers, Wacai’s forces also have nurous Extraordinary Beings.
This includes 16 Blood Code Carriers, with 13 at the Awakening level, 2 at the Promoted Low Tier, and 1 at Mid-tier Ascension.
Prosthetic Implanters, mostly Ordinary Managent Level and Stringently Managed Level implants.
One Spiritual Brain Modifier, maintaining five chanical Ferocious Beasts: four at Servant-grade Special Level, and one at Wyrm-grade Beserker Level.
Wacai himself is also a Blood Code Carrier, with the "Dragon Fla Blood Code" within him.
This is a special ability Blood Code; through combining it with dragon-like gene variants, the carrier gains the power to control high-temperature ionized materials and can even partially dragonify.
Wacai’s Dragon Fla Blood Code is at Promoted High Tier.
Besides personnel info, the intel includes the coordinates of Wacai’s forces across the sea, base structure, and so forth.
There are also many videos taken using special ans, showing various daily activities of Wacai’s forces.
It’s worth the 850,000 for such detailed intel.
Su Mo closed the intel files with a short laugh: "I thought they were big shots. These guys, they don’t even compare to a feather from the Raven’s Nest."
Old Bang teased: "Of course not. Wacai is just a small warlord from the Land of No Master. How could he compare with New Moon City’s famous King of the Borderlands? Oh right, that’s not the case this year; the throne has changed hands."
As one of the five gacities under the World Governnt Territory, and universally regarded as the most hazardous city in terms of social environnt, New Moon City, known as a "Monster House," has spawned one powerful monster after another.
If Wacai’s forces were thrown to the Borderlands, any one of the seven mbers of the Raven’s Nest could deal with them easily. Su Mo truly didn’t take them seriously.
Dongdong asked: "Boss, should I rally everyone, and we all charge over together?"
Su Mo shook his head: "No need, you all enjoy your vacation. Shangguan and I will go."
Dongdong humd: "I don’t want that. I’m sick of swimming; fighting is way more fun. You have to take ."
Su Mo: "Uh... alright, you can co too."
Dongdong: "Call a few more people, bring Xiaochu, he’s just an idle person."
Su Mo: "Chu Nanyi is flirting with a bunch of beauties. He’s been lovey-dovey with them these days, probably wouldn’t want to co..."
Dongdong confidently said: "No problem, he’s my simp. If I call him, he’ll definitely co."
Su Mo almost burst out laughing.
Old Bang chid in at this mont: "Try to keep the number small; four people should be enough. Too many people might leak the information. Don’t forget, crossing to the Land of No Master without authorization is illegal."
"If you want to cross the sea, you can only use a smuggling boat. You can’t go with too much commotion, or the three giants will cause trouble for you."
Su Mo gave Old Bang a playful look: "I bet you can definitely arrange this kind of business."
Old Bang rubbed his fingers together, made a universally understood gesture, and grinned, showing his gold teeth: "With this~ I can arrange anything for you."
After finalizing the price and details, Su Mo started gathering people.
He sent his location to Chu Nanyi and dialed the phone.
On the other end, there was a continuous sound of several girls giggling, and Chu Nanyi lazily said: "Captain, what’s up... oh oh oh, bite gently, gently!"
Su Mo brazenly said: "Xiaochu, co to this location, there’s work to do."
Chu Nanyi: "What? The signal’s bad, can’t hear!"
Dongdong jumped up, grabbed the phone, and said in a fierce but playful tone: "Get over here, stop wasting ti!"
Chu Nanyi was instantly overjoyed: "Hey! Sister Dong is there too? I’m putting on pants, on my way!"
Before the call ended, Su Mo clearly heard the girls’ disgruntled complaints.
Twenty minutes later, Shangguan Li brought Chu Nanyi inside from outside.
Chu Nanyi had his hands in his pockets, with a laid-back deanor: "Captain, what’s the matter?"
Su Mo: "We’re crossing the sea to the Land of No Master together, to rescue soone."
Chu Nanyi complained: "No way, you said it was a vacation, why do we have to go to that godforsaken place?"
Su Mo: "To rescue a loli."
Chu Nanyi’s face instantly turned solemn, placing his hand on his heart, eyes resolute: "Serving the Edge is an honor for our generation. Whenever, I’m willing to burn for the team, to keep burning!"
