The central city of the Seventh District is shaped like a snail, with only the tip of its tail extending into the South China Sea. Liangwan Wharf is one of the most bustling wharves.
Ghost Alley is a chaotic and mysterious place in the southern part of the city. It was abandoned after being invaded by alien species and later became a place for some shady transactions.
Hua Changle gently touched his chin with his finger, pondering as he said:
"The Blood Arena should send more people over tomorrow afternoon, and the day after tomorrow they should be able to gather all the recommended people for a sparring match. I need to be there then."
"So, we need to visit these two places tonight."
“Iris, let’s split up.”
Although she had anticipated that they would have to split up, Iris still couldn't help but worry about Hua Changle when she actually said it: "Le Bao, I'm worried about your health."
Hua Changle smiled reassuringly: "Don't worry, Jiang Xuan and Xiao Si will be with me. Let Wei Liang go with you, so you can have someone to look after you."
"But I don't trust those two people either."
Hua Changle said, "Don't worry, although Jiang Xuan is Hua Lihan's man, he wouldn't dare let me die before him. Jiang Xuan's cultivation is at the eighth level, and his combat strength exceeds that of more than half of his peers. Iris, you don't need to worry."
After a long silence, Iris came up with a compromise:
"How about this, let Xiao Si come with me, and let Wei Liang come with you. He's more familiar with District Seven, and I'll feel more at ease with him by your side."
Hua Changle thought about it and agreed.
Next are two locations.
Hua Changle said, "These two locations are definitely one real and one fake, or both are fake. No matter which one we go to, we must be prepared to deal with any ambushes."
Based on the current situation, it's highly likely that Ghost Alley was the actual location of the transactions.
Ghost Alley is located in the southern part of the city under the jurisdiction of Eagle Hall. It has always been a place for black market transactions. Compared with the bustling, spacious and unobstructed Liangwan Wharf, it is indeed more suitable for transactions.
"Then I'll go to Ghost Alley in the South City."
Iris volunteered for the relatively dangerous location: "South City is more chaotic than the central city, and it's farther away. I'll take Xiao Si with me, and we'll go and come back quickly."
Hua Changle didn't try to be brave: "In that case, A Yuan, your task will be even more demanding. Thank you for your hard work."
Besides the reasons Iris mentioned, Hua Changle didn't want to go to Nancheng because Hua Qingyun was in Nancheng. If she were discovered to be in Nancheng, both of them would be in danger.
Therefore, she chose to go to Liangwan Wharf.
"Oh? It's not far from the neon-lit area of Liangwan Wharf."
Hua Changle zoomed in on the map and discovered that Liangwan Wharf, nominally government territory, was actually located in a no-man's-land between the Eagle Gang and the Jackal Gang, in the same area as Japan.
The only difference is that Liangwan Wharf is located in a more bustling area, while Neon Kingdom is separated from it by a forest and is relatively remote.
Hua Changle then thought of Tao Zi: "It seems I can go and play with Tao Zi on the way, and also pick up the little mouse."
Seeing her excited expression, Iris shook her head helplessly and stepped forward to help her mount.
"Then you should get some rest. You didn't get much rest last night, and you'll be busy again tonight. You also have to deal with the Blood Arena later. How can your body handle it? If anything happens to you, Luo Xuan and Boss Ye will tear me apart!"
Hua Changle got up and sat on the bed. Iris quickly stuffed two pillows behind her: "I saw that your back was not very comfortable last night, so it will be more comfortable to lean against them."
The soft cushion behind her back warmed Hua Changle's heart. She pulled Iris along and waited for Jiang Xuan to come over.
"By the way, who is Luo Xuan?" Hua Changle was unfamiliar with the name.
Speaking of Luo Xuan, Iris had a lot to say: "Him? Let me tell you, Luo Xuan is the guy who came with me to rescue you. That guy is full of bad intentions! He..."
Just as Iris was launching into a long rant about Luo Xuan, Jiang Xuan walked in. Iris stopped abruptly, glanced at him, and then whispered to Hua Changle, "I'll continue telling you next time."
As Jiang Xuan entered, Hua Changle said, "We're going out secretly tonight. Xiao Si will go with Iris, and you'll come with me. You and Xiao Si should bring your gear."
"Miss, what is the enemy's strength?"
Hua Changle shook his head: "I don't know, but he won't be too strong. He's not one of the most ruthless characters among the Eight Kings."
With that, Jiang Xuan understood: "Your subordinate understands."
"Go and prepare."
After Jiang Xuan left, 422 appeared: [I have prepared detailed maps and information about Liangwan Wharf and Ghost Alley.]
Hua Changle said with satisfaction, "Little rabbit, you're getting better and better at it."
422: [...]
422 turned around and went to sleep, acting all aloof.
Hua Changle pursed his lips and sent the information and map of Ghost Alley to Iris.
Upon seeing such detailed information, Iris paused for a moment, but did not ask her how such a short time had come about.
Hua Changle finished flipping through the documents and yawned wearily.
Iris stopped what she was doing and said, "Then I'll go back first. You should get some sleep. Uh, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
"No need, I want to sleep."
Hua Changle wiggled her body like a caterpillar, rubbed down a few times, and then lay down.
Iris reached out and adjusted her pillow before closing the door and leaving.
Hua Changle used the excuse of being tired from entertaining guests that day to sleep until evening. Feeling hungry, he got up and ate a bite of food.
During the meal, Hua Qingyun's call came in.
The light screen unfolded, and Hua Changle's expression changed: "Big brother? What's wrong?"
On the screen, Hua Qingyun sat in the room, her face noticeably pale.
"It's nothing serious."
Hua Qingyun's voice sounded weak, but she seemed to be in good spirits, suggesting that she had only suffered minor injuries.
Hua Changle frowned unconsciously: "Someone has made a move?"
