Chuan Liu has always believed: “Chaos is not an abyss, chaos is a ladder.”
Therefore, the magician Chuan Liu chose the criminal exile island – “Paradise Island.”
On this islan...
"auction?"
Chuanliu Qiang opened his eyes and said, "Tell me about tomorrow's matters tomorrow."
Zhuiming said lazily, "I was just afraid that if I told you tomorrow, you would miss it."
Chuanliu opened his eyes again. "What do you mean?"
"Wuwang Auction House, midnight special auction in one hour. The entrance fee alone is 1,000 per person. Anyone interested in ripping off the 'flower butterflies'?"
Zhuiming lay on his side on the bed, propping his head up with his hand, his eyes filled with excitement.
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately jumped up from the bed.
"Set off."
When the two finished getting ready and came out of the hotel, Butterfly had already called a car and was waiting downstairs.
He immediately bowed and greeted them, "It's been so long since we last met, I've missed you both dearly!"
The face beneath the mask was expressionless, but he reverted to his aloof demeanor in public. He nodded in response.
Flower Butterfly wasn't embarrassed at all. He looked at Chuanliu and said with a grin:
"Did you have a good time shopping this afternoon, beautiful lady? Why didn't you bring our 'Life Chaser' along?"
Seeing the smug butterfly in the spring breeze, Chuanliu obediently agreed:
"I had a great time shopping because I had Master Hua's card. Brother Zhui Ming doesn't like crowds, so I went alone."
At this moment, two other people beside Flower Butterfly also gathered around, their eyes fixed on Chuanliu, their faces full of ill intent.
One of them poked the butterfly and lewdly looked at the girl.
"Fourth Master Hua, aren't you going to introduce him?"
Another one chimed in:
"Exactly! If I had known I'd be accompanied by beautiful women, I would have dressed up nicely."
Flower Butterfly knew that Chuanliu was one of the people chasing life, and she secretly cursed the two of them for not knowing their place.
Fearing they might say something ridiculous, Zhui Ming had also instructed him not to reveal their identities.
Flower Butterfly quickly smiled and introduced to Zhui Ming and Chuan Liu:
"These two are the backbone of my Plum Blossom City. This one is 'Plum Blossom 3'—Fenzi; this one is also 'Plum Blossom 3'—Jinbiao."
In the City of Plum Blossoms, the coexistence of the same identity card is much more common than in other suits. As long as these people can coexist, the higher-ups will not intervene.
In this respect, Cube City is much stricter, basically implementing one card per person.
Of course, the lack of opportunities has indirectly led to the Block City having the smallest population among the four suits.
The two people in front of us are clearly products of this consensus in the City of Plum Blossoms.
Then, Flower Butterfly, Pinkie, and Goldbiao said:
"These two are my honored guests. Please take good care of them for me tonight!"
To everyone's surprise, the two did not sense the butterfly's warning.
They completely ignored Zhuiming's presence and moved closer to Chuanliu, saying, "Such a beautiful girl, how come I've never seen her before?"
After getting to know her, Flower Butterfly had already accepted that Chuanliu was Zhuiming's secret lover. Although he didn't take the girl seriously, since she was a member of "Black Spade 8," he had to treat her with utmost respect and devotion.
Flower Butterfly coughed twice, her eyes glancing at Chasing Life every now and then.
Pinkie looked back at him, her face full of confusion.
Then he put his arm around Jin Biao's shoulder and continued to flirt with Chuan Liu.
Flower Butterfly tried to wink at them and coughed loudly a few times.
Jin Biao was interrupted by the coughing and looked at Hua Hudie with annoyance. "Fourth Master, is your throat dry?"
The butterfly was speechless and choked with emotion, managing to squeeze out two words:
"It's like getting a sore throat."
Chuan Liu's smile didn't reach his eyes; one hand was already reaching for the dagger at his waist.
Just as the two men's groping hands were about to touch her, Butterfly's voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"The auction is about to start, let's go."
If we don't leave now, someone will die.
Everyone then got into their respective cars.
Flower Butterfly smiled ingratiatingly at Zhui Ming in the car, "Boss, please don't take it to heart. Those two are out of their minds. They didn't do it on purpose."
Zhuiming looked at the silent Chuanliu and returned his smile with nothing but a blank expression.
"I didn't take it to heart."
But that doesn't mean some people don't have it either.
Thinking he had successfully pleaded for the two, the womanizer kept bowing and scraping, barely having enough space in the cramped car to continue her apology.
Zhuiming asked calmly, "Who are they? I've never seen them before?"
Flower Butterfly quickly introduced them: "Those two just rose up from 'Plum Blossom 2'. Things' been a bit chaotic lately, so they're specifically responsible for guarding the main city. That Stick Guy is one of their men."
Zhuiming scoffed, "Them? To defend the city?"
Flower Butterfly gave an awkward smile, "We also wanted to invite the big shots from Spade City, but no one was willing to pay the price, so we could only choose the best among the worst, picking some that looked strong."
Chuanliu remained silent throughout, looking out the window.
As they passed through the area where Yorozuya (Odd Jobs Shops) were located, the girl had a sudden thought and casually pointed to one, asking:
"Fourth Master Hua, is that shop across the street reliable?"
The butterfly looked in the direction she was pointing and said, "Ah, their family. The information is quite accurate, but we can only get very little information from them."
Chuanliu then pointed to another shop, "How about this one? The owner looks quite kind."
Flower Butterfly: "Don't go to this place, the owner loves to talk nonsense."
Chuanliu: "What about that one? The decor is really nice."
Flower Butterfly: "The prices are a bit high, and the owner likes to rip people off, but the sources of information are generally reliable."
I asked more than ten companies in a row, and the former answered them all one by one.
The girl nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
When she saw that familiar shop in the alley, she pointed to it again, seemingly casually, and asked, "That place is so far in, how can it possibly have any business?"
The butterfly's gaze fell into the depths of the alley. "That place? Even if you gave it a prime location, it would fail."
"How so?"
The girl looked on expectantly and moved closer to the passenger seat.
Flower Butterfly glanced at Chasing Life, cleared her throat, and continued, "That shop owner is a madman. Everyone here calls him Madman Feng. He's not in his right mind, yet he dares to run the Everything Shop. The key is that this old guy doesn't charge money; he only accepts identity tokens."
Madman Feng...
Chuanliu didn't look at that alley again, but randomly pointed to a few more houses and asked a few questions.
Seeing that the girl showed no sign of stopping, Butterfly couldn't help but interrupt:
"Actually, if you want to ask about any information, the biggest Yorozuya in the center of the main street is the most reliable. Their information is the latest and most comprehensive. Of course, if you have any questions, beautiful lady, you can also ask me. I'd be happy to serve Master Chase."
Chuanliu shook his head. "It's nothing, I was just asking."
The car quickly arrived at the entrance of Wuwang Auction House.
Before getting off the car, Flower Butterfly instructed Chasing Life:
“I know you want to keep a low profile, and it might be a bit of a hassle for you two to follow me inside. However, I've reserved VIP seats with Fenzi and Jinbiao, so if you mind…”
"It's okay, let's go."
As long as they don't provoke people they shouldn't...
