My Father the Southern Immortal Emperor

Chapter 77 The Underground Dark Market

The weather outside is great in the afternoon. Just when Leon was thinking whether he should take Freya out to play, his phone rang. It was Edward who called.

"Mr Leon, there's an opening at the underground black market in the antiquities town this afternoon. Grandpa I asked if you wanted to go."

"Dark underground market?"

"Yes, it's the same as an auction. However, there are more variations of complicated goods on the black market. That includes trading shady items like burial goods and ancient mummies."

Just as Leon was about to reject her, he heard her add, "Oh yes, my grandfather said that the last item at the black market auction seemed to be a magical tool. It even caught the attention of the Eldest Priest Edmund of the Sosena Sect."

Magic device?

Leon's interest was immediately provoked. He agreed to it after some hesitation, "Sure, I happen to have time today."

"Sure, I'll have my sister pick you up."

Leon after hanging up the phone talked to his parents and left home.

...

At the entrance of Jokala District, a red Maserati was parked haphazardly in the middle of the street. Many passersby looked with one eye. Even though the person violated the traffic rules, no one dared to say anything because other than that luxury car, there was a beautiful woman standing next to him.

Anyone would know that people who can afford such luxury cars come from wealthy families.

Selena crossed her hands on her chest and looked annoyed. He could not believe that his grandfather had asked him to pick this person up. To this day, she can't forgive Leon for doing such an embarrassing thing to her last time.

'Can't the guy kick it lighter? He didn't even apologize to me after that. A truly shameless man! I don't understand how she got a boyfriend.

As he rushed, Leon was stunned. "Why did you come to pick me up? Where's your brother?"

"She was busy with other things, so she told me to pick you up. Come inside." Selena was angry as she got into the car while scoffing.

Leon did not mind the strange temperament of the Gibson family's daughter. He got into the passenger seat of the Maserati after smiling to himself.

What he did not see were two women standing less than 100 meters away from Maserati. It was Riana and her mother, Stefani.

Stefani exclaimed with wide eyes as Leon and Selena got into the car, "Riana, isn't that Leon? Did that fancy car come to pick her up? Also, who's that woman?"

"I don't know."

Riana shook her head expressionlessly. He is upset again because he still blames himself for misunderstanding Leon.

Stefani could not accept what was happening before her eyes. Immediately, he muttered sarcastically, "Forget that this person has a luxurious villa. Now, a fancy car came to pick him up. Is that woman his lover?"

He nodded as if he knew everything as he spoke, "Yes, that must be him. That woman must be her sugar baby. Maybe that woman also gave him the villa. Oh, that's so embarrassing. She's very capable, but I can't believe she's willing to be a sugar baby..."

Riana who was standing at the side could not take it anymore. She couldn't help but interrupt, "Mother, can you stop? My cousin isn't that kind of person, why is everything good getting so dirty to you?"

As he left, he thought to himself, No wonder Dad said that you are sometimes petty. Your hair is long, but your perception is very short. My cousin owns a luxury villa and a company, and he also makes magic tools. He also mastered medical skills. Do you need me to tell you all this to throw more cold blankets at you?

"Oh, this girl, what's wrong with your attitude? I'm not even talking about you" Stefani began to complain angrily, surprised by her daughter's behavior.

...

More than half an hour later, the car arrived at Jiulong Antique Road. On the way there, Leon roughly finds out about the black market situation. It is said that the underground black market will only open at 17:00.

However, there are various kinds of luxury cars that have been parked on the antique road. Porsche and Bentley are not around here. Among the most interesting cars are some Lamborghini and Bugatti Veyrons.

After parking her car, Selena takes Leon to an antique store called Treasure Pavilion.

The shop was huge with rows of shelves inside. There were many antiques on the shelves such as calligraphy works, porcelain, and so on.

At that time, the store was very crowded. Many well-dressed people eagerly pointed at the antiques inside the store. They make comments about that stuff.

Meanwhile, two young women in blue uniforms stood on each side of them. They were apprentices at an antique shop who were hired by the boss to serve customers.

A beautiful girl welcomes Leon and Selena as soon as they enter. "Young lady, you've arrived."

"Where's Uncle Aslan?"

Selena nodded slowly, but she could not stop looking at the crowd.

"Uncle Aslan was still checking the inventory in the warehouse. Please give me a minute. I'll pick him up now. He'll be so happy to know that you're here." The beautiful woman smiled and turned around to walk into the back room.

Selena explained after realizing Leon's doubts, "Third Uncle I own this store and Uncle Aslan is an experienced staff underneath. He was responsible for taking care of this shop. I've been here a few times, so they know me."

Leon. He simply raised his eyes to look through the items in the shop. He thought he would find something valuable, but he ended up disappointed.

"Didn't anyone interest you?" Selena said as she frowned, realizing her disappointment.

"It's just ordinary stuff. How boring!"

Leon did not comment much and shook his head. To ordinary people, the antiques in the shop might be strange. But to him, they are worthless.

"Young man, isn't it too much for you to say that?" A restless sounding voice came from the back hall.

Then, an old man in glasses and in gray robes came out. He looked solemn and there was an experienced and intelligent aura coming out from him.

As soon as he appeared, all the customers in the store lifted his spirits. They bowed to greet him.

"Aslan's Boss!"

The old man just nodded coldly hearing that greeting. He then walked towards Selena and forced a warm smile on her hard face.
