The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse - Chapter 198
Chapter 198: Chapter 175, Special Item Ticket_1
The fifth squad failed to capture and the men with scars scattered in all directions.
Continuing to wait for the prey to fall into the trap, like previous plans, seems unlikely now.
Furthermore, the opponent might quickly trade their goods and choose to leave here directly.
Wu Heng returned here in disguise because he recognized the limping man among them. During his prior investigation of ‘Glenda’, he had noticed the presence of a limping figure.
All the people fled and the limping man lagged due to his physical condition, narrowly avoiding a calamity without arousing the attention of the fifth squad.
Wu Heng discovered him when he was investigating the rooms.
He neither made a fuss nor attempted to capture him but disguised himself as a woman, returned here as a mercenary, and investigated the trade.
As soon as the other party heard him loudly proclaiming who leaked the news of his stock, they approached him proactively.
The limping man was sitting at the bar, looking up at the fat woman in front of him.
Listens to her mention that money was not a problem, his impatient tone relaxed and said, “Our goods are trustworthy and the prices are more favorable than the market, but before I lead you to view them, I need to confirm your financial capability, not just verbally but in actual money.”
The man with the limp saw her once again flirting with him, and he shivered, adding, “We only carry out merchandise trades; we do not get involved in other matters.”
Throwing flirtatious glances was a side effect of possessing the Special Item.
The wearer could not control it even if they wanted to.
That is why Wu Heng made himself look like a robust woman.
She was not exactly ugly, but a normal man would have a hard time accepting such an appearance unless they had a special predilection.
Wu Heng didn’t respond and casually gestured to the back.
Basen behind him carelessly tossed two bags of money on the table.
The silver coins inside clanged together.
“This is not enough to buy our goods…”
Before the limping man could finish his sentence, his eyes gradually widened as he saw the activity behind him.
He noticed her taking out dazzling Gold Coins one after the other and laying them on the table.
Seeing this, the bartender who had been wiping glasses behind the counter, his facial expression changed instantaneously.
He pulls up a cover and places it over the gold coins, saying, “You two, if you want to discuss business, it would be better to go upstairs to one of the private rooms rather than discussing here.”
A tavern is not an entirely secure place for transactions.
Mercenaries, gang members, they all gather here.
Even if they are just here to have a meal or a drink.
But seeing these golden coins, it might entice some avaricious thoughts.
Should it lead to a brawl, the tavern would also suffer a considerable loss.
“Is this enough to buy your goods?” Wu Heng collected all the gold coins and tucked them away into his bosom.
The limping man also averted his gaze and promptly said, “Please wait a moment, I will inform our Boss, then we can discuss in detail.”
Wu Heng stared at him, his tone unchanged, “Your Boss is not here? Seems like you guys aren’t really sincere.”
“No no. He was indeed here for direct conversations earlier, but some unexpected events occurred. As you know, we will sell the goods to you at a low price, that would require us to handle some things indirectly.” The limping man added.
Wu Heng nodded, “I will give you guys the time it takes to finish one cup of wine. If the time comes and you guys are not yet here, then it would mean that we are not meant to collaborate. We can always collaborate when we have another opportunity.”
The limping man, seeing the potential financial power, definitely didn’t want to miss this buyer and immediately responded, “Rest assured. We do have the intention of conducting this trade. We will be able to provide an answer within the time it takes to drink one cup of wine.”
Having said that, he promptly left.
Wu Heng picked up the wine glass, drinking another sip.
He gave a signal to the invisible ghost in the empty air. The ghost quickly drifted through the wall and followed the limping man out.
Even though these people fled in every direction, with the goods at hand, they undoubtedly had a hideout.
Just identify the location of this hideout.
The scarred man is likely to be with the goods.
All he had to do was wait.
…
Weird dealings between fugitives and gangs, mercenaries, isn’t anything unusual.
It is rather common here.
Otherwise, most fugitives would have starved to death outside when they are unable to enter a city and without supplies.
Selling stolen goods through these people is also a way to sustain their lives.
Wu Heng sat at the bar for a while.
Then, three or four groups of people entered the tavern in the name of guests, evaluated the situation, and left in turns.
Not long after, the ghost ‘Glenda’ arranged to follow, drifted back directly, and floated back into Wu Heng’s body.
At the same time, the images from earlier were shared in his mind.
The limping man had walked a long way through the streets.
He then entered a courtyard within the resident area.
A few people were gathered inside, including the man with the scar.
However, he didn’t look well. His arm was bleeding badly. It looked like he had a fight while trying to escape.
The limping man explained the situation of the tavern to the scarred man.
The other party had arranged quite a few people to come in and investigate.
Looking at the images that ‘Glenda’ brought back, Wu Heng slightly narrowed his brows.
At the tavern, there were only four or five people, not too many.
But at the warehouse in the courtyard, there were up to nine people, each of whom looked fierce, armed and ready for battle.
It didn’t seem easy to handle them.
“This is going to be tricky!”
The other party had more people, and he had already shown a certain amount of wealth on his person.
Even if he tried to disguise and trade with them again, it could become dangerous quickly.
After considering this, he slowly stood up and immediately headed upstairs.
He entered an empty private room, removed his veil, and helped Basen and Bawudong change back to their original appearance.
