Chapter 149 Wanting to Take Over the Black Market
After saying that, Sang Tian gave Bi Jingyan a look, signaling him to go and smash up the shop.

Upon receiving the signal, Bi Jingyan chose an empty shop and smashed it to pieces in no time. The sounds of shattering glass and broken objects echoed throughout the square.

Xiong Hengba frowned, not expecting Sang Tian to actually send someone to smash it.

The reason he insisted on not giving out spirit crystals was that he wanted Sang Tian to take over the black market, so that at least the black market could survive and so many orcs would still have a place to stay.

Becoming the new master of the black market brings profits far exceeding 1.8 million spirit crystals.

As it turned out, the female only wanted spirit crystals and nothing else, which was completely outside of Xiong Hengba's plan.

Sure enough, he was still not suited to using his brain; none of the solutions he came up with were usable.

Standing to the side, Bai Mingchen's eyes showed a hint of impatience as he looked at his former business partner, unsure of what to say.

"I'll give it to you." After a painful decision, Xiong Hengba made his choice. "Let go of me first, I want to walk there myself."

Being tied up like a dumpling is really embarrassing.

“Your body isn’t strong enough to support you walking right now. Just tell us your location and we’ll take you there.”

Sang Tian kept her word and didn't give anyone too much of her supernatural power.

Xiong Hengba reported a position.

Looking at Xiong Hengba's office, Sang Tian realized what luxury truly meant. There was a swimming pool, a simulated golf course, and the sofas and desks were all top-of-the-line, clearly very expensive.

Xiong Batian pressed his bear paw print onto a painting, and soon a device resembling an unlocking mechanism appeared.

Sang Tian took a closer look and discovered that there was actually a step to test one's physical vitality.

[Unlock failed. Two more attempts and the safe is now locked.]

This is truly eye-opening.

Xiong Hengba, unwilling to believe in bad luck, wanted to try again, but Sang Tian stopped him.

"Don't try anymore, you'll get locked out if you try a couple more times."

Sang Tian looked at the painting on the wall and said, "Your safes are really high-tech. They even test the physical condition of the insured person. If they detect that you are seriously injured, they will immediately determine that the unlocking has failed."

Xiong Hengba was unable to speak. The feeling of being tightly bound was extremely uncomfortable, and he felt very suffocated.

"Let me go and try again, maybe you can succeed."

Since there was still one more chance, Sang Tian agreed to his request, worried that it was really because he was tied up.

After letting go, Xiong Hengba put his hand back on it.

A moment later, the drawing emitted a failure sound: [Unlock failed. Insured's vital signs are low; high risk.]

Bao Zemin couldn't help but retort, "Is this safe made by a medical center? It can even check your vital signs, and you have to be in good health to unlock it?"

"We were on guard against today," Xiong Hengba said honestly.

Sang Tian was speechless. "We didn't steal or rob; you all brought this on yourselves."

"I'll compensate you with the black market downstairs. You don't need that dilapidated, shabby place of yours anymore."

Qingzhi finally understood Xiong Hengba's purpose.

"You've been unwilling to give us spirit crystals for so long because you're worried the black market will be destroyed in your hands, so you want to hand it over to us?"

Xiong Hengba did not deny it.

Rather than handing over the black market to someone else, he was even more unwilling to see all his years of hard work destroyed in his own hands. How could he face the deceased Shu Qing and himself if he did that?

Bai Mingchen's black market has always been guarded by his people.

Since Sang Tian's shop opened, Bai Mingchen, for the first time ever, started looking for people to develop a security system, verbally...
Sang Tian was slightly taken aback, not expecting Xiong Hengba to have such a purpose.

Sending it directly to the black market? Is there really such a good deal? Although he had fallen out with Bai Mingchen, knowing that Bai Mingchen and Shu Qing were dead, Bai Mingchen couldn't bear to give up the black market, which could generate huge profits.

At least in terms of management, Bai Mingchen is better than me.

Xiong Hengba remained silent for a long time, which could be considered a tacit agreement.

Bai Mingchen didn't come up, which Xiong Hengba regretted.

"The idea to smash the black market was Rat Qing's, and the idea to imprison Bai Mingchen's clansmen was also his. As an accomplice, you've already been punished for dying once. This black market is a hot potato, full of troublemakers. You can manage it yourself."

Sang Tian had only thought about moving the valuables away or poaching the capable people; taking over the black market was something she never even dared to dream of.

Bai Mingchen mentioned the reason for the separation, a large part of which was that this side turned a blind eye to the competition for supplies.

Many things come from illegitimate sources, often leading to infighting, riots, and numerous unruly troublemakers, forcing the use of force to resolve the issues.

Xiong Hengba's expression changed, realizing that Sang Tian was the one with the power of speech, and he was also dissatisfied with her pushing all the blame onto Shu Qing.

“Those ideas were all mine; Shu Qing was forced into them.”

"Pfft—" Bao Zeming couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.

Bi Jingyan glanced at him. "Just because you're rude, does that mean other people don't deserve to have intelligence?"

The two indirectly maximized the mockery.

Xiong Hengba couldn't do anything to the two of them, and could only glare at them, feeling incredibly angry; his eyes could practically kill.

Looking at the lavishly decorated black market through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Sang Tian felt no attraction whatsoever.

The two sides were deadlocked, and Sang Tian was unwilling to waste her supernatural power on Xiong Hengba any longer.

Seeing that the other party wouldn't leave until they got the spirit crystals, Xiong Hengba said, "All the spirit crystals are managed by Shu Qing. I usually stay in the forging shop and don't have much contact with spirit crystals."

“I have a lot of valuable crystal cores in my forging shop, worth 800,000. If you don’t want to wait, you can go to my shop first.”

Sang Tian hummed in agreement, then remembered something else.

"I've borrowed your people. I'll bring them back to you once they've restored my appearance on the black market."

She figured she couldn't come for nothing; she had to at least bring back some laborers.

Fearing that Bao Zemin would commit suicide, Sang Tian told Bao Zemin to take the others with him.

Xiong Hengba entered Bao Zemin's miasma space and learned that none of his men had died; they had simply been imprisoned in another space.

Upon hearing the commotion, the group of people all stood up and became alert.

Upon seeing that it was Xiong Hengba, everyone put down their weapons as if they had seen a family member.

"Boss Xiong, how did you get in here? Are we even going to get out?"

"Yes, who is this person? How could he create such a large space?"

"Is the Rat Boss really dead?"

A barrage of questions rained down on Xiong Hengba, who looked weak and slumped to the ground. "Quiet down, all of you."

Sang Tian went downstairs and found that Bai Mingchen was still downstairs, in the same position.

"You all go back first, I need to talk to him about something." Sang Tian sent the others back, wanting to get some information from Bai Mingchen.

Thinking that his mother might also be from the same place as her, she was filled with questions and waited for answers.

Bai Mingchen walked towards her and reached out to hold Sang Tian's hand, but she avoided him.

"Get to the point. Why didn't you ever tell me you had a younger sister?"

Faced with Sang Tian's question, Bai Mingchen felt a lump in his throat, staring at her for a long time without being able to speak.
