Chapter 23 – Black Bear Company
At the Tianshui City station, the person who looked very ordinary waiting for his vehicle, he was Xia Ping. But at the moment he has a very different appearance. He changed his appearance by buying a human skin mask from a toy store. This type of mask can cover the entire face and help in changing the facial features to whatever type the user likes.
These are very popular children's toys and can be purchased for just twenty federation coins. He bought a mask because Heiyue city was really a very dangerous place, he said, because all kinds of underworld organizations prospered in that area and because many of these organizations made very complex relationships between them. So many people who visit this place prefer to change the appearance there so as to avoid all kinds of distractions that can occur after leaving the place. This is the kind of prevention that many consider necessary.
“I must get that golden potion. '' Xia Ping cleared his fist, recalling the arrogant Zhou Tai'an. The meeting only gave him an unbearable anger. If he (Xia Ping) had more strength than Zhou Tai'an, would he still dare to be arrogant in front of Xia Ping? Just because he was at the 6th stage Martial apprentice and had a rich family to support, he became so arrogant and insulted him. This account he remembered clearly and when he was about to return from Heiyue city he would pay back this account with interest. While thinking about the incident Xia Ping was riding on the floating carriage.
The distance between Tianshui city and Heiyue city was more than a thousand kilometers but due to the speed of the floating carriage, this distance could be reached in about an hour smoothly. Because this trip was so smooth and convenient, it was relatively expensive with each ticket costing four to five thousand federation coins, but regarding Xia Ping this price was within an affordable range.
After an hour Xia Ping arrived at Heiyue city station and after entering the station he instantly felt a completely different atmosphere compared to Tianshui city. He felt that this place was really messed up!
The ground was full of plastic bags, paper and empty soda bottle cans and they were carried everywhere with strong winds and some even hit the walls and made noises. The white walls of the station have been painted with various scribbles and looking at the condition of the station it does not look like the cleaning workers working here.
The station was filled with different types of people and most of them looked like gangsters whose shoulders were tattooed with skull marks, tigers, cheetahs etc. the majority of them have muscular bodies with colored hair that looks like chicken and naturally some of them are bald.
They are also pedestrians wearing fabrics that show skin on all kinds of important places. They all have very thick makeup. Pedestrians on the streets ranging from forty-fifty-year-old aunt to young girl.
Once someone approached them, they would welcome them warmly and would be taken to one of the alleys.
Seeing all this Xia ping had a very bad premonition. So while they were not surrounding him, he hurriedly moved his legs and exited the area. Only God knows if he is surrounded by pedestrians on this road, whether they will take him.
“Ya right, according to the map, Black Bear Company is not far from the station. '' Xia Ping thought while looking at the map on his phone and started following the route.
The so-called Black Bear Company was the one Xia Ping decided to buy the golden part of, on the surface it was a legitimate company with registration from the federation government but in reality it was just a shell company. They handle any and all types of smuggling. The company is also a large underworld organization with official members numbering in the tens of thousands and no record of the number of unofficial members can be found. The gold part is one of the main items that the company sells.
This black bear company was famous for its large-scale transactions and their reputation did not sell counterfeit goods; hence Xia Ping decided to buy the golden part of the Black Bear Company.
He continued the route according to the map while keeping an eye on the surroundings. On the way he discovered that most of the tall and large buildings were in very worn-out condition, with doors and windows missing and if viewed carefully then it is possible to find dirt on the floor. This type of building is inhabited by the homeless and the poor who are so thin that their skeletons stick to their skin and sometimes you can also find a place inhabited by some dangerous characters and to making matters even worse the area here was too complex with a common type of building connected to different alleys and the passageways were always shrouded in darkness even during the day.
“It looks bad I really entered the wrong passageway. '
Xia Ping again looked at the map carefully only to find that he arrived at the back door of the company. So this is the back door, no wonder the place is not too crowded.
According to the map he had reached the Black Bear Company building but in reality he needed to make a circle around the building to reach the front entrance. Once all companies are trading on the front door and back door there will be no entry.
“Alright, need to surround the building. '' When Xia Ping was thinking of leaving, he suddenly felt something fall over his head, and fell down at high speed. If this thing landed on him from looking at the height of the company building which was 40-50 floors high, he would become pasta. He became irritated at the thought of the person throwing leisurely objects in public. But he adjusted his mentality quickly then twisted his true Qi within his body, then he moved his fist at full force towards an obscure object.
"Tiger Fist, Tiger out of the Den!"
Ever since his battle with Bear Tyrant, Xia Ping had become more focused in his cultivation and he cultivated the Pure Yang Arts with the help of Sun's essence whenever he could and endlessly strengthened his cultivation base. During this time he understood more clearly the essence of the Big Five animal form and his mastery reached perfection, and each time he used the art it would resemble the animal itself.
The strength of this fist had reached nearly three times since he fought Tyrant Bear. The fist was violently released and took the form of a roaring tiger as it moved forward, tearing through the air. Even a fifth stage Martial Apprentice would be killed if this fist struck him without the strength to rebel.
Bang out!
The fist struck an obscure falling object at full force and it was thrown with a rumble several meters into the air. The full force of the erupting fist threatened to tear apart anything that blocked its path.
"Ohhhhh!"
An obscure object suddenly let out a cry that snatched away with the sound of a broken bone could be heard. The sound of a broken bone in the alley was quite clear.
"What?"
Hearing that voice, Xia Ping became startled and thought, 'this obscure object can make a sound, it seems like it is not an object but a human?'
Xia Ping kept his eyes fixed on the object and suddenly it rolled several times on the ground and stood up, with blood coming out of his mouth. He looked at Xia Ping with blood-red, ruthless eyes, with murderous aura leaking out from his body.
