TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

"I'm glad you came, Mr. Hawk River" The old woman was sitting behind the wooden table and looking at Liu Yang with her two bright eyes. She was trying to look through him again to see if anything had changed after all these years before the day of the deal came.

To her surprise, she was startled by what she was seeing.

Nothing. The old woman was not seeing anything again.

(This young man named Hawk River is a monster !!!!! I thought he would only be at level 300 or a little higher, but I never thought he would be at level 400. What did he level up with so fast? It is impossible to do this without killing hundreds of thousands of creatures. How did he do it in such a short time?) The old woman didn't know what Liu Yang experienced during these five years, she only understood that he killed many creatures.

Otherwise, he would not have reached level 400 so quickly.

"Old woman, I think you should find better employees because the one I saw down there, he was not very good" Liu Yang casually commented.

"I know that. It is very difficult to find good employees in that city. " The old woman spoke in a tone of loss. She was the person who ordered the guards to kill Manager Bert.

"I see ..." Liu Yang understands that in this city, only power and influence help to survive.

Without these two things, someone can be killed.

Being rich, but without power or influence, that person can also be killed easily.

"Let's change the subject. I am happy that you have kept the deal" The old woman commented with a cheerful tone.

"I keep my promises. Do I need to do anything else before going to the Wild Region? " Liu Yang knows that they were a long way from the real Wild Region.

"No. I've seen enough. I just need you to go to the City of Sins before I do the things I need you to do"

"City of Sins? The city built within the Wild Region?" Liu Yang heard some stories about this city from Zilyana and Zily.

According to the two women, the City of Sins was a more dangerous version of the City of Lamentations. Because there are no rules or divisions between kingdoms.

As the name implies, the City of Sins is where all sins can be committed without suffering any kind of consequences, as long as the person can stay alive.

If in the City of Lamentations, power and influence were very important to survive. In the City of Sins, only power mattered.

Influence and wealth don't matter because you need to be alive to enjoy these things. Without power, anyone was just a dead person.

If a person is a powerful and influential nobleman outside the Wild Region, he is just an ordinary person if he has no power to protect himself.

So, the most important thing within the Wild Region was individual power.

The City of Sins was a city outside the nine kingdoms but within the Xinia Continent. Those insides cannot communicate with people outside and vice versa. So anything can happen inside the City of Sin and no one outside the Wild Region will find out.

The only way for the nine kingdoms to find out what happened within the Wild Region is after five years, which is when the way out is opened.

The Wild Region takes several hundred years to open, but once inside, people must survive for five years before leaving.

"Yea. Our goal is some special places within the Wild Region, but first, we need to get to the City of Sins alive. At the same time, we need to be very careful with the dangers. But I think you don't have to worry about that, right? Since you are a master of the poison and it is very difficult for someone to try to approach you, even if someone attacks using long-range attacks" The old woman believed that Liu Yang could survive inside the Wild Region without the help of the slave market.

"Old woman, is there anyone else besides me who will be going to the Wild Region together?" Liu Yang understood that the slave market would set up an expedition group to travel to the City of Sin.

Because of the dangers, he knows that many people will die.

"Yea. The slave market of all nine kingdoms is planning to create a large expedition group to go to the City of Sin, that is the main objective, to get to the city alive before planning the rest of the activities." The old woman commented in a serious tone. She knows how dangerous the Wild Region is because she has seen images left by former members of the slave market.

"I see ..." Liu Yang already knew that the Wild Region was an extremely dangerous place from the reports, and the images left by the former rulers of the Pheria Kingdom.

Zilyana let Liu Yang see these documents because he was going there.

The nine kingdoms were also making expedition groups to explore the Wild Region. They sent their elite soldiers to try to find rare and unique treasures that only exist within the Wild Region.

These groups were led by the powerful generals of the armies of the kingdoms along with many powerful and influential nobles.

In the case of the Waetor Kingdom and the Pheria Kingdom, the people who led the expedition were someone very influential and subordinate to the two empresses. They would not let someone not very trustworthy do the job.

Thus, they were the few people who sent women to lead an expedition group. Some nobles also sent women because they did not have men capable of doing this job.

"Do I need to do some kind of test to see if I qualify?" Liu Yang asked. He knew it was a stupid question to ask, but he asked it anyway.

"No. Mr. Hawk River, with your ability, you are already qualified enough to do this. Do you have any other issues to discuss? The expedition group will leave the City of Lamentationsand head towards the entrance to the Wild Region in a week. If you don't want to go with us, you can just get to the entrance and see the slave market group" The old woman commented. She doesn't know if Liu Yang had other things to do or not.

The only thing she needs is for him to reach the entrance to the Wild Region.

"Yea. I have a few things to do. Could you give me some kind of locator so I can find you?" Liu Yang had something to do before going to the Wild Region.

"This is a locator and a communicator here." The old woman placed a crystal ball on the table.

"I thank you for that. Is there anything else to discuss? " Liu Yang was already prepared to leave and return to the hotel.

"No. You can go out. I hope to see you in a week to help my group on the expedition"
