Chapter 1974: Black Mark Grand Gathering
Suddenly looking up, he saw Jiangnan and Olivia standing to one side, staring at him with astonishment!
Wenge's eyes widened, his brain short-circuited, and even his voice shot up an octave!
∑(°口°๑) "Jiang! Nan? You... you've already been released? How is this possible? You... how..."
He was completely dumbfounded!
He had spent a great deal of effort to find someone who could get him out!
He had to go through layer after layer of connections, and spent a huge sum, just to escape the detention of the Decree Troops!
He had planned to get Jiangnan out too!
Otherwise, how could he get the Incense Bead? If he delayed any longer, Man Ti the Lady Venerable would be dead!
But when Tao and the others tried to release Jiangnan, the Decree Troops told him to get lost!
They said that if he kept pestering, they would arrest him again and lock him up!
With no other choice, Wenge had to retreat first, planning to think of another way later!
He went back to Noah Manor first!
Who knew he'd run into Jiangnan? He could recognize that big black face even if it turned to ash!
Shouldn't Jiangnan still be detained there at this time?
How did he get out?
Jiangnan said with disdain: (￢益￢ꐦ) "Why did you take so long to get out? You almost missed the Black Mark Assembly, you know?"
"As an ATM, don't you have any self-awareness?"
Wenge almost choked on his blood:
(•́益•̀٥) "How did you get out? When did you get out?"
Jiangnan shrugged: ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "I came out that very night! I'm familiar with the Decree Troops, leaving was just a matter of saying hello!"
Wenge's face turned green:
(´థ益థ)σ "Then why didn't you take me out with you?"
Do you know how much effort I spent to bribe them?
Jiangnan spread his hands: ╮(•︠～•︡)╭ "Didn't you say you had your own people? And that they were super tough? If I had gotten you out, wouldn't your people have wasted their time? And you would have wasted your money!"
"I'm doing this for your own good, you know?"
Wenge: (|||꒪ͦ3꒪ͦ)～Puwa!!!
[From Wenge, Resentment +1008!]
[From...]
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "I really damn thank you for that, okay!"
Jiangnan grinned and waved his hand:
(︶.̮︶◕)ﾉ "Hai! You're being too polite! What's there to thank me for?"
"By the way, did you bring enough money? The Black Mark Assembly is about to start!"
"If you hadn't come out by now, I was planning to go bail you out!"
Wenge's face turned even darker. You weren't planning to bail me out, were you? You meant bail out my wallet, right?
"I have plenty of Star Source Points! But I'm running out of time. You'd better do what you said!"
Jiangnan smiled: "Just follow me, I won't let you down!"
"Besides, you have no other choice but to follow me. It's the Black Mark Assembly today, the ceasefire day of the Black Street. What, you want to try and grab me by force?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a steaming bowl of 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' and pretended to drink it!
Wenge gritted his teeth so hard they nearly cracked. This guy had him completely under control!
"Fine, I'll go! But you have to be careful with your spending! I don't have many Star Source Points left!"
Jiangnan chuckled darkly: "Didn't someone just say they had plenty of Star Source Points?"
Then he strode off in a leisurely pace toward the Black Mark venue!
Da la la～(ง⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴)ว～♬♩♫♪
Wenge followed Jiangnan with a face as dark as a resentful wife!
(̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ)!!!
[From Wenge...]
Qiuniao watched the scene and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth!
Had he already trained him this well in just a few days?
……
This year's Black Mark Assembly was held at the Tianyu Grand Auction House in the center of Black Street!
At this moment, Black Street was completely packed!
There were even special advertising airships pulling laser banners in the sky!
Just being able to attend such an event was something to brag about back home!
Many races had come in groups—elders bringing younger generations to broaden their horizons, mentors leading students to gain experience!
There were far too many!
Small airships occasionally flew across the Black Street sky, making it incredibly lively!
The Tianyu Grand Auction House was a massive bird's nest-shaped structure with interior space supported by compression technology!
It could even hold a million people at once!
Usually a large marketplace, it had been cleared out to serve as the venue for the Black Mark Assembly!
Outside the Tianyu Grand Auction House, the crowd was already buzzing. The three-day Black Street market had its busiest day today!
People had started entering the auction house early, and some had even been queuing since yesterday!
(:•᷄▿•᷅) "Damn—I've been holding in a piss since yesterday. Queued all night and still haven't gotten in?"
"Brother, do you have to be this dedicated? What, is there something you want to buy at the Black Mark Assembly?"
"You're overestimating me. How could I afford anything? I'm here to see Yueli Goddess's Moonlight Enchanting Dance. I heard it can steal your soul!"
"Just being able to appreciate that dance is worth the ticket price! Hiss—I can't hold it anymore!"
He was already stomping his feet in urgency. Just then, a voice came from behind!
☻۶ "Hey, brother—want a convenient sack? Just open the mouth and pee wherever you want! I'll give you a discount!"
The brother turned around and saw a big black face grinning at him, holding a dull sack!
Σ(‧್̣̥̇口್) "Ahya!"
A startled cry rang out, and his face turned white as he jolted!
"Ten Billion? It's you?"
After all, Jiangnan had become quite famous in Black Street!
Jiangnan looked down at the brother's pants legs, looking uninterested:
(￢﹏￢◕) "Uh—you really are convenient! Looks like you don't need this sack..."
Everyone followed Jiangnan's gaze and twitched their mouths!
"I've always heard people say 'scared someone pissless', but this is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes! What an eye-opener!"
The brother's face was flushed red!
[From Kuachua, Resentment +777!]
"You damn..."
Before he could move, someone next to him grabbed his shoulder:
٩(´-ι_-｀) "Don't be impulsive. You can't beat him!"
Then Jiangnan pulled out a Hulk Brand briefs:
(●'◡'●)۶▽ "Want to change into something dry? I'll give you a discount!"
Olivia and the others from afar couldn't bear to watch anymore!
Why did he run off to sell toilet stuff? He really never missed a chance to make money!
Mo Mo covered her face. She had long heard that Nan Shen had a bad habit of selling shorts to everyone he met. Even on an alien planet, he was still the same!
"Nan Shen! Come back, we need to enter!"
Jiangnan reluctantly walked back toward Mo Mo and the others, but not before turning back to remind:
"Think about it, okay?"
As Yueli's beloved, he naturally didn't need to queue. He took the VIP channel, the highest standard of reception.
As Aqiang led them into the venue, they heard a commotion from the left side of the crowd!
A cold snort came from there: "Heh—there aren't many arrogant heavy criminals like you left. The rest are all in Ming He Death Prison!"
An Elf with brown hair and pointed ears walked over, exceptionally handsome!
On his chest was a dark gold hunter medal, a legendary bounty hunter!
Behind him followed Yoululu and Lunqin!
Apparently, the Hilde Guild had come to join the fun at the Black Mark Assembly!
Seeing Jiangnan, Yoululu's eyes dodged, feeling a pang in her chest!
Jiangnan was taken aback: (•︠ˍ•︡◕) "I wonder who this is..."
Lunqin sneered: (￢⇀￢) "The current president of the Hilde Guild, legendary bounty hunter, Lord Huanlou. Why aren't you paying your respects?"
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward and firmly shook Huanlou's hand!
(●ớヮờ)ھ "So you are Lord Huanlou, who participated in the hunt for Jiang Fan and had over ten thousand Divine Control bodies killed! I've heard so much about you!"
"I've always wanted to thank you. If it weren't for the sponsorship of the Hilde Guild, I wouldn't have been able to afford staying at Noah Manor!"
Huanlou's forehead immediately bulged with more than ten veins!
(ꐦʘ̅益ʘ̅ꐦ)!!!
[From Huanlou, Resentment +1007!]
Qiuniao couldn't hold back his laughter!
This guy's little mouth was like it had been dipped in honey—really damn sweet!
Was that how you start a conversation?
Did he have a death wish, talking to Huanlou like that? Jiangnan's gall must weigh over a hundred pounds if removed!
Huanlou's eyes widened as he shook off Jiangnan's hand!
(⚆益⚆ꐦ) "What nonsense are you spouting? Watch your mouth! Stop talking about old musty stuff from years ago! If not for Noah's face, I would have captured you right now and cashed in on the points!"
Before Jiangnan could reply, a teasing voice came from the side!
"Oh—Huanlou? Why did you change to such a young Divine Control body? Still young at heart, eh?"
A Stardust Clan member came over with hands behind his back, his entire body made of rotating nebulae!
The space around him was distorting!
Huanlou snorted coldly: "Fama? You're not much younger than me!"
"What, the Starlight Alliance isn't busy? You have time to visit the Black Mark Assembly?"
Fama's gaze shifted: "Just here for the fun, and to see this black kid who dared to slap the Bose Clan's face!"
"By the way, I can't get in touch with my Vice President Shaye anymore. Do you know where she went?"
Jiangnan pointed at his own nose!
ᕦ(•︠ˍ•︡) "Are you asking me?"
Fama squinted: "Who else but you?"
Jiangnan pouted: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Do I know you well? Do I have to answer just because you ask? What does your Vice President's whereabouts have to do with me?"
With that, he turned and led everyone into the venue, leaving Fama frozen in place!
[From Fama, Resentment +1008!]
As he walked, he asked Qiuniao!
(ﾉ)•̆₃•̆) "Hey hey hey—today really is the ceasefire day, right? Everyone really does give face to Noah and won't make a move on Black Street, right?"
Qiuniao twitched his mouth!
꒰ঌ(̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)໒꒱ "Originally yes, but I can't guarantee that if you keep this up, someone won't break tradition!"
"I have a question for you: Was your life given as a membership bonus?"
In the span of a few moments, he had pissed off the heads of both the Hilde Guild and the Starlight Alliance!
Giving them no face at all!
Jiangnan shrugged: (≖ᴗ≖◕) "Wrong! My life was picked up on the street..."
At this moment, Fama and Huanlou were both seething!
(ꐦ｀益´) "Ten billion is a bit low, don't you think?"
(▼へ▼ꐦ) "I think it's a bit low too!"
