In the middle of the night, the streets of Elk City were still packed with people. There was a hurried company clerk dressed in a formal dress, tie, and briefcase; There were also groups of drunkards who hooked their shoulders and carried their backs, grabbed wine bottles, and occasionally pointed their fingers at the passing city beauties, making laughing sounds. There were also those skinny women who stood on the streets wearing revealing clothes and heavy makeup and were surrounded by fat swallows.

Looking up, the neon lights hanging on the building were emitting a faint glow. The windows of the inhabitants were dimly lit, and from time to time curses, shouts, laughter, and the crying of children could be heard.

It was colorful and bizarre.

Elk City is known as “Nightless City”, people’s activities are day and night. At all times, people go to work, go shopping, eat, or get a room.

This was determined by Elk City’s urban functions in the central continent. If Eternal City was a combination of brain, politics, culture, and faith in the Silver City world, then Elk City was a combination of heart, economy, logistics, and technology. She was the hub of all planes, the logistics center, trading center, research and development center of Silver City World, and also the machine for foreign war.

At this moment, at the corner of the street, in an alley beside a 24-hour convenience store, the light was dim and dark. Beside the wall was a row of round trash cans. The trash overflowed the lid of the cans, and newspapers and drink cups were scattered on the ground.

“Creak!”

With the friction of the rusty door hinges, the arched iron door on the wall opened. A skinny old man squeezed out, waved his hand, and threw a large bag of rubbish into the trash can. With a “kuang” sound, the garbage bag crashed into the garbage can and rolled to the ground.

The old man let out a sigh, as if he was not satisfied with the result just now. If it had been in the past, he would have knocked down one or two trash cans, causing the cleaners to curse the next day. He pounded his waist and stepped into the darkness behind him. With a “creak”, the small iron door closed again.

Walking through the small kitchen, the old man came to a dimly lit hall. Looking around, there was a wooden bar on one side and a retro game machine, billiard machine, radio in the corner on the other, with a messy round table and wooden chairs in the middle.

The old man walked into the bar, poured himself a glass of brandy, and began his work today. For the bar, it was already closed, but for him, it had only just opened.

In a city, there were always people who were especially well-informed. He was this type of person, a professional intelligence dealer, nicknamed “Old North”.

Old North took a sip of wine and let out a long breath. Just as he was about to twist his waist and move twice, a figure suddenly flashed in the corner and a deep voice came out.

“You are Old North?”

The party was so scared that his neck shrank. It was not difficult to deduce that the other party had come early in the morning, hiding in the shadows and observing him for a long time. In such a situation, no matter who it was, they would feel their hearts tremble and cold sweat run down their spines.

The man walked out of the corner and raised his head. Within the grey headgear, a bright eye appeared.

In an instant, the sweat on Old North’s forehead became even more intense. What kind of eye was that, quiet, cold, sharp, like a wolf in the wilderness, like an eagle in the sky.

The man didn’t say anything, just quietly staring at him, giving him an indescribable pressure. At this moment, he was like a mouse facing a kitten. Even though his back was drenched in sweat, he was unaware of it.

“I heard that you know a lot.” The man spoke again.

Old North gradually recovered from his shock. After all, he had seen 8,000 people over the years, including many Saint-ranked experts.

“Yes, the old north knows everything,” he said, straightening his back.

“I want to inquire about a place.” Said the man.

“Everything that happens in every corner of this city, where is it stolen, where is it possible to get good stuff, where is it possible to ship goods, where is the missing person, there is no escape from the eyes of the Old North.” He said with an expression on his face.

“Blissful Gathering.” That person said, his voice calm and indifferent.

In an instant, the temperature in the bar dropped in vain, and the air seemed to freeze.

“You … you said … what did you say?” Old North’s tongue stiffened as he stammered.

“Blissful Gathering.” That person repeated, his voice still calm.

“I … I don’t know …” Old North wriggled his throat and said with difficulty.

“Huala!”

A golden light flashed before his eyes, and a large pile of gold coins appeared on the bar counter. The golden light was dazzling, and he could see hundreds of gold coins.

In the dim light, the gold coins flickered with a dazzling luster. Old North’s expression changed rapidly. Finally, he shook his head and said, “You’d better go. I don’t know.”

“You have no choice.” That person raised his hand and dots of star sand flew out, gradually condensing into a blue ice flower, resplendent and sparkling, mysterious and beautiful.

“You!” Old North’s expression changed drastically as he instinctively retreated.

“If you reveal the news of the Blissful Gathering, you might die, but …” A row of pure white teeth appeared under the grey headband. In the dim light of the icy flowers, they shone brightly. “If you reject me, won’t you die?”

Old North rolled his eyes, his expression uncertain, as if he was struggling intensely with his thoughts. The man did not speak any more and just looked at him quietly.

After a long time, Old North took a deep breath and said, “635 Old Tree Street, Room 20 on the third floor, Puppeteer Selina, let alone me.”

“Thank you.” The man nodded his head in thanks and then asked, “Can gold coins be solved?”

“In Lu City, there are no problems that cannot be solved with gold coins. If one pile fails, then it will be two piles. However …” Old North lowered his voice and said, “At the beginning, it would be best to use some coercive means to let her finish listening to your narrative.”

“Understood.” Said the man.

“Don’t say I introduced you.” Old North emphasized again.

“Yes.” The man nodded and disappeared at the door.

After the other party left, Old North looked at the fixed communication device on the bar and fell into deep thought again.

In silence, his hand slowly reached towards the microphone. He only needed a voice communication to completely escape from this incident, but that ice flower was still lingering in his mind.

Spirit Formation Star Sand, a rank eight expert, perhaps even stronger …

After struggling for a long time, his hand finally fell powerlessly. As the other party had said, no matter who betrayed him, he would die. He could only pray that the other party would keep his promise and not burn him down.

A few hours later, in the lobby of the apartment building at 635 Old Tree Street, a tall and skinny woman in her forties with heavy makeup came in with a large paper bag containing bread.

She stretched out her slender hand and greeted the old security guard at the front desk. Then, she walked into the elevator, went up to the third floor, and arrived in front of Room 20. He lifted his knees, held the bag, took out the key, opened the door, put down the bread on the shoe cabinet, turned on the light, took off his high heels, and closed the door.

Then, a hand covered her mouth from behind.

“Don’t say anything.” A male voice came from behind him, calm and cold.

The woman nodded.

“I’m asking now. I’m just nodding, not shaking my head. Lying can break your neck. Do you understand?” The voice behind him asked.

The woman nodded.

“You’re Selina?”

The woman nodded. She was the puppet master of the Blissful Society, Selina. Last time, the Blissful Society had been destroyed at the club of Sand Wind Castle. She, Su Yun, and He Xin had escaped. After the disaster, as a senior puppet master, she was transferred to the clubhouse in Elk City.

“Do you know about the Blissful Gathering?”

Selina hesitated for a moment before nodding in the end. The other party had obviously come prepared and there was no point in lying.

“I’m looking for someone. She was sold to the Elysium. I hope you can cooperate.” After saying that, the man pushed Selina into the room.

“Who are you looking for?” A moment later, Selina sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and asked the uninvited guest in front of him.

The man did not answer and pushed over a photo. Selina picked it up and saw a young girl wearing a checkered apron with an innocent smile on her face.

“Her name is Elsa. She’s an insect. She lives in the southern cemetery. A few months ago, she was kidnapped and sold to the Deer City branch of the Blissful Society.” Said the man.

Hearing the other party’s voice, which seemed to be very young, Selina curved his lips and said warmly, “Mind if I look at you?” Then he alternated his legs, took out a slender cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a sip, and said leisurely, “I don’t work with strangers.”

The man straightforwardly lifted his hood, revealing a handsome young face that looked like a knife. Sword-browed, star-eyed, heroic. However, there was only one eye on that face. However, this incomplete appearance did not affect his handsomeness. Instead, it increased his strength and determination.

Selina whistled and teased, “I’m starting to envy that girl named Elsa.”

This person was Tianchang Norse. After eliminating the Crawling Tiger, Chi Nu, with the help of his right finger and left ear, boarded a cargo ship and smuggled into the Central Continent.

“She’s a good person, she shouldn’t have encountered such a fate.” Tianchang took out a heavy bag of gold coins and placed it in front of Selina.

“Am I not a good person?” Selina’s voice carried a trace of resentment.

“Please help me. I will not forget your kindness.” Tianchang said earnestly, his one-eyed eyes as quiet as still water, revealing sincerity and earnestness.

After a moment of silence, Selina took a few puffs of his cigarette, flicked the ashes, and asked, “Do you know what’s behind the Elysium?”

Tianchang shook his head.

“It’s the Blackwing Clan, the Greybird Clan, the Whale Clan, the Golden Lion Clan, the Elk Clan, and the Iron Felt Clan.” Selina looked at Tianchang with interest and asked, “Are you still interested after knowing this?”

Every name was like a giant hammer that struck Tianchang’s heart, suffocating him.

He clenched his fists and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Selina. He calmly said, “No matter who it is, no matter what power it is.”

He was the Vast Expanse Sword, Northess, a brilliant fire seed, and the Far East’s War Bear. He had never been afraid of any faction!
