Chapter 163: Chapter 163 - Two Exasperated People

On the other side, Jin Daya’s men couldn’t find Lin Bai’s, so they could only return dejectedly to report back.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Boss, we seemed to have been discovered by him halfway, and then this kid disappeared.”

Jin Daya glared fiercely at them. “You bunch of trash. You can’t even keep track of someone. What’s the point of keeping you?”

Now that Lin Bai could not be found no matter how he blamed them, Jin Daya had no choice but to give up. “Forget it, let’s pack up. Let’s go to the next place.”

Jin Daya and the others would never stay in the same place for long. They would go to the next city after the sale. However, when they were done packing, a group of people suddenly came and surrounded them.

It was a group of well-trained people. Their silver armor shone with a cold light. The badge on their body was obviously the symbol of the City Lord’s estate. He could not help but squint his eyes and warmly welcomed them.

“May I know why you are here? Can I help you?” Jin Daya had traveled all over the world. He really knew how to talk. Naturally, he would not offend the people of the City Lord’s estate.

The leader said, “We heard that Mr. Jin has the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf here. Our City Lord wants it and is willing to pay a high price to buy it.”

Jin Daya’s smile froze and he immediately looked troubled. “This…”

Seeing his hesitation, the people of the City Lord’s estate’s voice turned cold. “What? Mr. Jin is so arrogant that he doesn’t even want to do business with the City Lord’s Estate?”

Jin Daya hurriedly shook his head, “No, no, no, I didn’t mean that. It’s just that the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf has been sold.”

He secretly cursed in his heart. This group of people had to come at this time. Now that the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf had been sold, where could he find another one.

The people from the City Lord’s Estate frowned, “Then do you have the whereabouts of other Howling Moon Celestial Wolves?”

Jin Daya’s expression was as wrinkled as a bitter gourd.

“Sir, it’s not like you don’t know how rare the Howling Moon Celestial Wolves are. Moreover, they are extremely vigilant towards humans and don’t appear in front of humans easily. Even for this one, we spent a huge amount of effort to catch it. How can there be any more?”

Seeing the displeasure on their faces, Jin Daya immediately said, “In other places, we still have something more precious than the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf. Sir, you can consider other demonic beasts.”

Who would have thought that the people of the City Lord’s estate did not listen to him at all. “No, now we can only go to the person who bought the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf. Do you know his identity and background?”

Jin Daya thought for a moment and said, “That person looks very unfamiliar. I’ve never seen him before. I don’t know who he is, and he did not mention his name. Judging from his accent, he should not be a person from the capital.”

In a transaction like this, they would pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. Who cared about the customer identity? No one cared even if people gave a fake name. If it was at an auction, it would be much more formal. However, there were pros and cons to their way of doing things.

Seeing that the people from the City Lord’s Estate were getting more and more unsightly, Jin Daya hurriedly added, “Although I don’t know his identity, I can draw his face for your excellency’s reference.” After saying that, he picked up a pen and paper. Very quickly, Lin Bai’s image appeared on the paper.

“Previously, I wanted to send someone to follow this kid, but I lost him halfway. However, my men watched him walk towards the suburbs.”

The people of the City Lord’s Estate did not care why Jin Daya sent someone to follow him. They picked up the paper and turned around to leave. Looking at their hurried back, it seemed that the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf was extremely important to them. Jin Daya could not help but touch his chin.

“The City Lord’s Estate has everything. Although the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf is extremely rare and precious, it doesn’t explain why they need to act like this.”

He keenly sensed that something was wrong. The City Lord’s Estate also had many rare and exotic beasts. The Howling Moon Celestial Wolf’s cultivation level was not high. Why were they so persistent? Could it be that they had other uses for it.

“I keep feeling that there’s something wrong with the City Lord’s Estate. It seems like I have to report this to the boss.”

When his subordinates heard this, they were a little worried. “If the City Lord’s Estate doesn’t find that kid, will they vent their anger on us?”

Jin Daya, who had been respectful to the City Lord’s Estate previously, now had a disdainful look on his face. “With the big boss backing us, even the City Lord’s Estate wouldn’t dare to touch us. What are you afraid of?”

Hearing Jin Daya’s words, it seemed that he had a big boss behind him, and his background wasn’t small either. However, it didn’t seem normal.

After all, Jin Daya’s existence had indirectly affected the auction and the business of the beast industry. However, not only were these forces indifferent to him, they even had a cooperative relationship with him. This was enough to show that there must be someone supporting him from behind.

Otherwise, as a nomadic organization, if it did not have some influence and powerful people behind it, it would have been dealt with by these local forces long ago. Therefore, it was clear that Jin Daya was not simple. It was just that they did not know who the person behind the scenes was.

On the other side, He Linsheng and the assassins sent by He Qicheng had not returned to report for a long time. Just like last time, it was as if history was repeating itself. As time passed, their expressions became more and more unsightly. They also had a bad premonition.

He Linsheng was the first to lose his cool and said, “Father, it can’t be that they failed again, right?”

He Qicheng was very surprised. “How is this possible? Lin Bai is seriously injured. The few people I sent out are all masters. It’s more than enough to deal with him. Could it be that he has someone protecting him in the dark?”

“Could it be someone from the Alchemist Association?”

He Qicheng shook his head and denied. “Impossible. The expulsion of Lin Bai was ordered by the Alchemist Association’s elder, and he cut off Lin Bai’s contact with the Alchemist Association’s people. It’s impossible for anyone to openly disobey his orders and secretly protect Lin Bai.”
