TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

"The next things I need to buy are better gears for people at level 300. The equipment forged using scales in this city is much better than in other cities. The minerals used really make a big difference" Liu Yang murmured. He was walking the city streets and buying all sorts of random things that he found useful.

Most of the employees at the stores he visited were women, because of the number of scales he was spending, many of them were offering special services so that he actually bought the items he was interested in.

Liu Yang was already interested in buying the items, so it made no difference whether women offered special services or not. But as he didn't refuse a beauty's flirtation, he played with each one for an hour before going to the next store.

"The best items are sold in shopping malls, but some powerful and strange items can be found in ordinary stores on the streets." Liu Yang continued to murmur.

…

Liu Yang spent the entire day shopping in stores and doing activities with female attendants inside stores.

His day was very relaxing and tiring at the same time.

During those hours, Liu Yang thought about some things about the relationships of man and woman in the Xinia Continent.

After thinking hard about it, Liu Yang came to the following conclusion: The person who will lead the relationship is the one who has the most power or influence.

When Liu Yang thought about the women he met during his journeys through the Temore Kingdom and the Khisal Kingdom, he remembered that the most powerful side is who will be the head of the family. It didn't matter if it was male or female.

But usually, the man was the head of the relationship because they had more influence because of political marriages. In some cases, women are the head.

That is, who commands is the strongest and the most influential.

One such example was Liu Yang.

In the world outside the continent, Liu Yang had no girlfriend, but he slept with the women because he paid or the two met in night clubs and went to a hotel.

In the initial village, he became strong and influential. So he didn't even have to do much to have a woman in his bed. He just needed to point out that they can go to him, not all of them do it, but the weaker ones choose to do it for more protection.

In the case of women, this also happened.

Xie Mei, the young woman who was one of the heads of the five villages before unification.

Since she was a leader, Xie Mei had power and influence. So many men tried to woo her, but without success. Liu Yang was the only man to become intimate with her before her departure.

But it wasn't just power and influence, wealth could also be a factor in a relationship. But they were less durable because the person only had wealth and had no power to protect wealth was a sign of disaster.

Liu Yang had these thoughts because he was thinking about Zayaa, the young leader of the demon village. She was arrogant and indifferent.

Zayaa was the type of woman who would only fall for a man far more powerful than she. Otherwise, she will be the person who will be the head of the relationship.

Demons' behaviors were like that, at least the demons that came from the demon world.

Liu Yang understood that if he wanted to conquer Zayaa, he would have to be much more powerful than she. Otherwise, she would use it any way she wanted, since she is the strongest of the two.

…

The night in Everguard City was colder than usual because of the winds that blow at sea.

The houses in the city need ways to keep warm. Oftentimes, people use fire crystals or fire magic. Only the wealthiest use barriers to prevent the cold wind from blowing inside their homes.

The bright lights of the spells make the city much brighter than usual.

(It looks like I'm going to be forced to rob some people today...) Liu Yang thought. He realized that he was being followed by some people.

(Killing in the city is not good… I think it is better to go down the mountain and kill them outside the city, but if I go down now, I will look suspicious. Tomorrow I will do this) Liu Yang kept walking as if he didn't know anything. He will make plans to deal with his pursuers at the hotel.

At the same time, Liu Yang was releasing some of his poison so that his pursuers would be affected, but he did not activate the poison, otherwise, when the poison enters their bodies, they will be killed or they will feel pain.

What Liu Yang wants to do is keep them poisoned without activating the poison, and only activate the poison when something happens.

It was not long before the four pursuers were poisoned.

Liu Yang returned to his hotel room.

The four pursuers looked at their room before leaving.

…

"Zayaa, do you know who the idiots are chasing me?" Liu Yang sat on the sofa and asked the young woman meditating on the bed. He lacked the courage to approach her.

Zayaa did not answer his question, she just meditated.

"..." Liu Yang looked at this scene and said nothing more. He knows that Zayaa likes to be alone and silent.

After those days with her inside the room, Liu Yang discovered this.

…

Somewhere in Everguard City ...

In a dark and dark alley, a group of people was leaning against the wall, they seemed to be waiting for something.

tap… tap…

Footsteps are heard.

A person wearing a dark hoodie appeared.

"Did you find out anything about that masked person?" A distorted voice was heard. The person dressed in the dark hood.

"Do you have the payment?" One of the them spoke.

"..." He threw a leather bag.

"..." One of the people in the group took the bag to check before throwing another bag back.

"..." The two sides do not comment any more before leaving.

…

The person wearing the dark cloak went to another desolate place in the city. He opened the bag and took a crystal ball.

When the ball was touched, images of Liu Yang walking around the stores all day were shown.

The images had more than ten hours because the group had to stay outside the store and wait for Liu Yang to finish doing the activities with the female attendants before leaving the stores.

"Hawk River… Garett… Allston ..." The distorted voice murmured. This person seemed to know who Liu Yang was, or the false name used by him in the Temore Kingdom and Khisal Kingdom.
