Apocalypse After

Grey Jackals

Her night.

After asking Daisy and Aster to rest, Alexander took his black cloak and mask. The young man then came out of the house and disappeared in the dark of the night.

About an hour later, Alexander stopped in front of a large building that read ‘Golden Wheat’ which looked striking.

‘Tsk! As expected of the shelter with the highest population density.’

Alexander could not help but mutter inwardly.

Now he stands in front of a large bar, one of the three most popular drinking spots in circle 5. Still can not be separated from the view of Blood Cross, but business supervision in the circle is very minimal.

Just like Shelter 13, Shelter 11 also has their own ‘’ currency. It can usually be redeemed for contribution points or can be earned from their own business.

While the reason why Alexander chose Golden Wheat .. of course because the largest and safer compared to the other two places. Not only veterans, but rookies also often drink in this place.

After staying in place for a while, Alexander followed the crowd and walked into the bar.

When entering the place, the atmosphere was much more crowded than in Shelter 13. It seems that not only because the population is more numerous, but the people who live here live more relaxed and comfortable lives.

Arguably, most people from Shelter 13 were often in contact with monsters, while people in Shelter 11 were in contact with humans. In this place, it seems that more people are often quarreling with others. Unlike the atmosphere where they are busy hunting and returning to release stress.

By the time Alexander walked, many people were watching him seriously. Although many people come, but they can recognize people who have come. So, everyone was convinced that he was a newcomer.

It was not just Alexander who was a newcomer. There are many new arrivals every week. Even so, Alexander's appearance was quite striking and made them interested.

Black hooded robes, black masks with one eye hole, even dressed and carrying all-black equipment. Clearly, the black color seemed quite striking.

Alexander ignored the people. He immediately went to order a drink. After ordering two bottles of wine, the young man gave more coupons then muttered in a voice that only he and the shopkeeper could hear.

“I want to meet Grey Jackal.”

A middle-aged man was fat, bald, and had the rest of his white hair narrowing his eyes. He received the money given by Alexander then nodded.

“Please follow me Sir.”

After that, the old man escorted Alexander towards a deeper area where more groups gathered around their respective tables. Those guys are better than the ones outside. Most of them were small teams of level 1 hunters, and there were even some quite large teams with one or two level 2 hunters in them. It was completely different from the front filled with apprentice hunters.

The two of them then walked towards a slightly dark and inconspicuous corner. There, there appeared a thin middle-aged man with a robe full of patches. His hair was gray, his mustache and beard were not too long but not well groomed. However, his eyes looked sharp and he also had a dangerous grin.

The man was surrounded by many women who appeared quite charming. He was busy drinking and having fun with them. Not paying attention to the arrival of the two men.

“I'm dropping off a customer for you, Gery!” said the old man.

“Call me Grey Jackal, Old Man!” said the middle-aged man who turned his head with a dissatisfied expression.

After that, Gery looked towards Alexander. Looking at the mysterious figure that made him feel that danger, his expression became even more solemn.

“Then we stop here, Beautiful! We will continue next time, ‘Daddy’ has important business here!” gery said in a joking tone.

The women were complaining with a centile, but still immediately got up and left. Although they seem close to Gery, but do not dare to interfere and disrupt his business.

After the women left, the bald man said, “I'll be back too. Just take care of your business.”

“Thank you.”

Alexander said in a voice that could not be distinguished whether male or female. The young man nodded lightly then turned his gaze to Gery.

“Please sit. Sorry if it's messy,” said Gery with a friendly smile. “How should I call you? Erp ... Mister? Mistress?”

“Call me V (Vi).”

After saying that, Alexander sat across the table directly opposite Gery. He then placed one bottle of wine in front of him and another bottle in front of Gery. Then the young man beckoned, allowing Gery to drink.

‘Truly interesting!’ thought Gery.

Gery is known as the Grey Jackal. He is an intermediary. The man used to introduce the seller and the buyer. Sounds mundane, but it is actually very valuable because it is different from other untrustworthy intermediaries ...

The cost was not cheap, but the middle-aged man had many connections. Whether wanting to sell or buy items, he could find a suitable partner for the person. Moreover, he was very famous for frequently moving between black and white.

Whether it is good or evil, there is no problem as long as the customer pays for his services.

“You are really friendly. Then, what do you need from me, V?” ask Gery.

Alexander did not answer. He uncapped the bottle, poured the wine into a small glass. The young man slightly raised his mask then drank the wine calmly.

After putting down the glass, he explained.

“There are three reasons why I'm looking for you, Grey Jackal.”

Alexander took out a few pieces of coupon (money) and placed them on Gery's front desk.

“First, I am a newcomer and need information about Shelter 11 from you. Second, I want you to find me a buyer who is willing and able to buy quite a lot of potions. Third, I want to find me a supplier of raw materials of herbs and other ingredients.”

Instead of directly answering, Gery instead asked, “Are you not afraid I brought this money, V?”

“I can't believe you're going to ruin a reputation for that little money. Besides, what I gave you was street money, not your commission.

You need to take a walk to find customers and suppliers for me. You should also tell me a lot of information about Shelter 11. That's price.

While once you can introduce me to the potion buyers and ingredient sellers, there are of course other commissions. That price is what we are talking about now.”

Hearing Alexander's explanation, Gery was stunned in place. After a while, he laughed out loud.

“Hahahaha! Give me money to walk around and talk? You're really interesting, V!

Oye! There should be more smart people like you. Most of them are stingy. Even most of them are reluctant to spend money even though the benefits they get are many.”

Gery shook his head. He opened the bottle and drank. The man stared at Alexander to watch over the mysterious figure in front of him. However, once again he was surprised at how mysterious that person was. Seemed so calm and showed no hint of awkwardness or nervousness.

“Are you not afraid of being harmed?” ask Gery to relax.

“I have the basis of my own judgment, so you can rest easy,” replied Alexander flatly.

“Interesting! I really look forward to working with a customer like you, V. Do you have any requirements?” ask Gery.

“Of course there is.” Alexander nodded. “For buyers, prices can be a little cheaper than on the black market. But you better be able to get buyers who have high consumption power so that I can supply them. As for the seller of materials, find a more complete. Provided that he could also supply rare materials, the price of ordinary materials that were a little more expensive was not a problem.”

“You should look for me, V. You want to trade with a fairly large group of hunters and large traders. The way you find a safe point is very good,” said Gery.

“Can you provide it?” alexander asked flatly.

“This is arguably a test for me. But this big business piqued my interest. Really, you are a great speaker V.” Gery smiled kindly.

“To do that, do you have any requirements?” ask Alexander.

“Can you give me one sample that will be shown to prospective customers. After all, even though it was both a low-tier herb, it also still depended on the quality of its manufacture.

Those people would not believe in mere words. But if you are worried that I will steal it, then I can also try to convince them first.”

“No problem.” Alexander nodded lightly. “I'll give you one bottle each as an example.”

“You are not afraid of being fooled?” gery said, increasingly doubtful.

“I think, whether it's money or other things are just means.” Alexander looked indifferent. “Is there anything else?”

“No.” Gery hurriedly shook his head. “There is nothing more I doubt.”

Hearing that, Alexander nodded lightly. With a faint smile behind his mask, the young man again said.

“Then ... let's discuss the commission fee.”
