Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The sky darkened pretty early since it was late winter. The lights at the port were like twinkling stars in the night.

Gu Mang had only brought Bai Qingqing with her, while the rest of the people stayed behind at the villa to protect Gu Si. She was wearing a long black down jacket, scarf, mask, and a cap. Her hands were tucked into her pockets, and she felt the cold evening breeze hitting her face as soon as she got off the yacht. She pinched her nose bridge to make the mask stick closer to her nose while slowly walking down and checking out her surroundings.

On the journey here, she found out that the yacht was heading to Jijing Island’s sub-island, so it became obvious to her what auction her godfather had been talking about when she linked the information she knew together. Her parents addressed her godfather as “Shark”, and his surname was Lan, while the person managing the Dark Web and the underground market was called Lan Sha.

Gu Mang raised her eyebrows in surprise. The information Shadow League had about Lan Sha was pathetic, but now another of the ten unsolvable mysteries in Shadow League was solved.

Lan Sha couldn’t step away from work, so he sent Lan Sen—his trusted aide—to fetch Gu Mang instead.

A row of black luxury cars was parked on the roadside. Lan Sen respectfully led Gu Mang to the limousine in front and opened the door for her. With his head slightly bowed, he said, “Please get in, Ms. Gu.”

Gu Mang nodded and bent down to get into the car.

The vehicles then slowly drove away from the port and toward the twin towers.

It was only then that Bai Qingqing realized that they were on the sub-island. She looked at Gu Mang, who was sitting next to her, and said, “Young Lady, it’s quite lively on the island tonight because the underground market is hosting an annual auction. It’s a shame that the tickets are quite hard to get. Otherwise, you could go over and have some fun.

Those who were attending the auction had to make reservations in advance and undergo strict security checks before they could finally obtain the admission tickets. Thus, Bai Qingqing was certain that they wouldn’t be able to get any tickets since the auction was about to start soon. She found it a pity that they weren’t able to attend the auction since they happened to be here on the day of the auction itself.

Sitting across from them, Lan Sen suddenly turned toward Bai Qingqing and said, “There’s no need for you to feel sad. We’re heading to the auction venue right now.”

“What?” Bai Qingqing thought she had heard wrong, and she instinctively turned to look at Gu Mang.?We’re heading to the auction venue right now? Didn’t Young Lady say that she’s going to meet her godfather?

Gu Mang nonchalantly lifted her chin in Lan Sen’s direction. “Lan Sen works for my godfather, Lan Sha.”

It was like a bomb had exploded in Bai Qingqing’s mind. It took her quite some time to get over her shock, and she stared blankly at the man with sharp and defined features sitting across from her.

Everyone from the four major clans and Elders’ Association knew about Lan Sha, the Dark Web, and the underground market. In fact, Lan Sen did introduce himself when he came over to Jijing Island to pick Gu Mang up, but it didn’t occur to Bai Qingqing at the time that he was working for the big shot, Lan Sha.

So the middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit who came to visit Young Lady at the villa that night was Lan Sha?! As Brahma had eliminated Gu Mang’s forces and the latter had fallen out with the former, Bai Qingqing had thought that Gu Mang was currently in a precarious situation. She never expected that Gu Mang would have the Dark Web’s support, so she was still a little dazed by this new information.?The Young Lady has really strong backups…

Lan Sen poured two glasses of lemon water for them. “Have some drinks.”

Bai Qingqing was in a daze throughout the rest of the car ride. It was only when they arrived at the twin towers that her emotions finally calmed down.

The car stopped at the inner entrance, and Lan Sen led them inside. Everywhere they went, the staff would bow to them.

On Basement 1 were the auction stage and the free seating area. The seats on the first floor were allocated, and on the second floor were all private rooms. These few floors were arranged for the people attending the auction. Only the Dark Web’s internal staff could gain access to the third floor.

Once out of the elevator, the two men guarding the elevator entrance bowed their heads at them. “Boss.”

Lan Sen nodded and respectfully led Gu Mang and Bai Qingqing to Lan Sha’s observation deck.

…

The observation deck on the third floor had an excellent view of the auction stage below and a one-way floor-to-ceiling glass window that allowed people to look through without anyone looking in.

Lan Sha, in a Chinese tunic suit, was sitting on the sofa as he looked down at the people below. “I wonder which item in our auction has caught the eye of BESE’s owner for them to show up in person.”

His subordinate found it strange when he received the final name list of the attendees. The identity of BESE’s owner had always been a mystery, so it was surprising that they would show up at the auction.

“We do have a few more items to put up for auction, but…” Lan Sha hesitantly said.. “Given their connections, it’s unlikely that they need to bid for something through us.”
