Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Locke walked over to Adelaide, who was already waiting at the door.
“Mr. Locke! I was just about to contact you! My food search department has found another precious delicacy…”
Adelaide’s performance was no longer polite and he seemed to be flattering.
When the graduates saw this scene, apart from shock, they were filled with endless regret!
They regretted not having a good relationship with Locke.
“This is precious snow pork…” As he spoke, Adelaide put a piece of meat into his mouth, enjoying it immensely.
After the two clinked their wine glasses, Locke asked, “I don’t know if you know anything about antiques?”
“Yes! Our jewelry world is more or less related to antiques! Why? Does Mr. Locke like collecting antiques?” Adelaide did not expect Locke to have such a hobby at such a young age. He was indeed a strange person!
After taking a sip of brandy, Locke said, “Do you know about the Swift Hurricane Hammer?”
“Yes! I heard about it! It has been in the hands of other black market merchants! It can be considered a precious antique weapon. Are you interested in obtaining it?” As expected of a super rich man. When he heard about precious antiques, there was not the slightest hint of surprise on his face.
pared to underground merchants like Dickens, Adelaide’s level was indeed much higher.
“Anyway, I need it! It would be great if you could help me obtain it. I’ll pay for it myself!” Locke wiped his mouth and prepared to eat the dessert that had just been served.
Adelaide immediately snapped his fingers. Löw, who was serving at the side, had already understood and immediately went to talk to someone on the phone.
A few minutes later, he returned and said, “Mr. Locke! I’ve already asked clearly. This thing is now in the hands of a black market merchant in the Heavenly City. He plans to hold an auction the day after tomorrow to sell this antique! Before that, he won’t consider any bids…”
“Could it be Harrington pany?”
Löw immediately nodded and confirmed his master’s guess.
Putting down his knife and fork, Adelaide immediately furrowed his brows.
“What’s wrong?” Locke guessed that there might be a problem.
“You don’t know! Harrington pany is the most vicious black dealer in the Federation! For the sake of profit, their methods are very dirty and despicable! They often engage in illicit methods and they are very arrogant. I’m not joking. I have several batches of goods that have been robbed by them.” Adelaide showed a disgusted expression.
This made Locke curious. Who could make the richest Adelaide suffer?
“Isn’t it just a black market pany?”
After all, he had also e into contact with underground forces. Locke still learned a lot about the rules of the black market.
It was mon for a black market to take advantage of a black market.
Dirty methods were even more mon. There was nothing special about it.
Adelaide said, “Harrington pany is different. They do everything and dare to make money. Previously, because their black goods were seized by the Heavenly Prefecture customs, they even assassinated a few officials. They were so scared that they didn’t dare to not sign the papers…”
This was a little sensational!
The black market generally did not dare to offend these officials. They usually had to serve them well.
However, Harrington pany dared to killed them? It was indeed too brazen.
“Their boss… Has a royal background.” Löw pointed out the crux of the problem.
“Royal?” When Locke heard this title, he suddenly thought of a small thing that Secretary Peter had given him at the Wind City airport.
Locke had not looked at it at the moment. It was still hidden in another piece of clothing.
“So, my suggestion is that you don’t think about that antique anymore. Who knows what tricks Harrington pany is up to this time? They’re even holding an auction, hehe…” Adelaide seemed to recall the few unhappy things that happened when the goods were robbed.
However, this was something that had to be done.
Putting aside how important the upgrade of the Beast Fusion was, first of all, Locke was not afraid of the royal family’s background!
Even the king still owed him a favor and had not repaid it.
Locke really did not care about a black market pany!
After a round of persuasion, Adelaide saw that it was still useless. He had no choice but to lend his plane to Locke.
Before setting off, Locke naturally had to inform his family. He casually took out the thing that Secretary Peter had given him.
It was a gold and silver brooch!
The middle part was engraved with ancient runes that Locke could not understand.
The wings on both sides were one gold and one silver.
The design was very unique.
“You gave me such a small thing?” Locke liked it and it was indeed very beautiful.
Thinking about it carefully, he had never had such an accessory before.
As for why Secretary Peter had given him such a thing, he did not think too much about it.
Naturally, this was included in the reward for killing the rebels in Wind City.
Since Locke was going to Heavenly City, it was naturally inconvenient to wear student clothes.
After taking out a suit from the wardrobe and changing into it, he left the house.
…
After arriving at Heavenly City, Locke put on his sunglasses and carried a bag with a change of clothes inside.
Facing the afternoon sun, he strolled around Heavenly City.
Walking on the crowded street, the Traffic Controller was using his Battle Beast to direct the traffic.
The sky-type Battle Beasts were helping their masters distribute product flyers.
The fashionable beauties kept throwing flirtatious glances at him.
The outdoor screens in the square and the supermarket were playing advertisements for different Battle Beast training institutions.
Although all of this was not absent in the Holy City, the atmosphere was not as good as here.
There was an indescribable sense of fashion in Heavenly City.
The auction was to be held the night after tomorrow, so Locke took it as a holiday for himself.
After eating the delicacies in the high-end restaurants, he came to a quiet bar street.
Locke sat in the open-air small square, ordered a high-end cocktail, and took out a cigar that Adelaide had given him.
He was enjoying the cool night breeze of the Heavenly City.
At this moment, his cell phone rang.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were ing?”
Secretary Peter’s voice came from the receiver.
“How did you know I was ing?” Locke asked with a smile.
“We have to investigate anyone who entered the Heavenly City through normal means! Besides, do you think your plane isn’t eye-catching enough?”
Although Peter’s job was announced to the public as the secretary of the Prime Minister, in reality, most of the matters he was in charge of were royal matters.
Especially the safety of the royal family, which was his top responsibility.
“What’s the matter, old man?”
When Locke raised his head unintentionally, he saw Secretary Peter walking toward him from afar…
