Urban Elf: A perfect start, cutting off Gyarados.

People like Elder Wen are among the most protected in Yan State.

On the surface, there were three cars, but in reality, there were far more guards than that. As they headed towards the Dragon Heart Bay Villa, the districts associated with the dark forces were experiencing an unprecedented upheaval!

Chapter 206 The Gray Zone, Four Major Forces!

On the surface, there were three cars, but in reality, there were far more guards than that. As they headed to the Dragon Heart Bay Villa, the Dark Force City was undergoing an unprecedented upheaval!

The Dark Forces District truly lives up to its name; it's a completely lawless border area!

The gray area belonging to the alliance of various countries.

It is not under the jurisdiction of any party.

Initially, this place became special simply because the environment was affected by the expansion of the secret realm, and all the major alliances were observing the situation.

It takes a long time.

More and more secret realms are appearing, and the major alliances are vying for new resources.

This place is gradually being forgotten.

After all, the environment here is extremely harsh, not only unsuitable for human habitation, but even elves would have a hard time here, so there is really not much benefit to be gained.

But that's precisely why.

Instead, it attracted some stink bugs who had been ostracized by all sides. They were like rats in a ditch, finally finding a place to live.

If the initial group that settled here consisted of some low-level thugs, over time, more and more people from all walks of life gathered here.

The truly powerful dark forces, the evil corporations, have also gotten involved!

From then on, the situation became increasingly complicated!

The evil group's infiltrators, including high-ranking figures within the international alliances, deliberately avoided the topic when making decisions at the higher levels.

With the participation of all parties, and their intentional or unintentional cooperation, what was originally an inconspicuous gray area was allowed to develop into a dark city capable of accommodating millions of people!

Not only the Red Lotus Organization of the Yan Kingdom Alliance, but also the Temple of Light of the Lighthouse Kingdom and the Genesis Church of the Eagle Kingdom are listed as one of the four major forces in the Dark City!

Besides these three most powerful international criminal organizations.

The last force originated from the Dark City itself, developed independently, and did not belong to any of the three major evil organizations.

It will not get involved in any large-scale international crimes; it remains neutral.

However, to be ranked alongside the three strongest forces, they must have some skills. Their information dissemination speed is top-notch, as if they have gathered all the thieves and poachers in the world.

They make a living by selling sprites, messages, and items.

They sell everything imaginable!

They welcome any evil forces without question, and even their attitude towards the alliance is ambiguous, unlike the three major organizations which hate the government so much and only speak for their own interests!

In short, whoever has money is the sugar daddy!

They only care about money!

Although it was already past midnight, the Dark City was bustling with activity, and the nightlife was just beginning!

This is a place where the light doesn't reach, and the management is chaotic. It's not like a real city that's planned, with buildings arranged in an orderly fashion and people specifically responsible for cleaning.

Illegal and haphazardly constructed houses are everywhere in the dark urban area!

Looking down from the sky, it's enough to drive anyone with OCD crazy!

The alleyways are winding and twisting, and the streets are filled with dirt and a foul, fishy smell. The old walls are dilapidated and mottled.

There were also obvious dried, eerie black bloodstains on it, the source of which was unknown!

The sounds of beatings and pitiful screams came from the dead-end alley, faint and indistinct, but before they reached the city center, they were drowned out by the clamor and laughter!

The heart of the dark city transforms into a vibrant, bustling metropolis at night!

The air was thick with the stench of sweat and cheap perfume, and the sounds of gambling and shouting filled the air.

Normally, although it's lively here, everyone does their own thing and doesn't gather together!

But today.

They all started talking about the same person!

"These young people nowadays are really something. They can evolve a pseudo-legendary into a Tyranitar just by taking the college entrance exam. This is the biggest giant Tyranitar I've ever seen!"

"Goodness, nearly eight meters! That's enough to crush a whole group of people with sheer physical strength!"

"Electabuzz can even evolve? This kid's luck is off the charts!"

"I'm curious about that Wobbuffet. The cheapest Wobbuffet used to be the most valuable thing I could ever afford, tsk tsk..."

"If I had known this would happen, I would have joined in when the Crimson Lotus Organization issued the kill order!"

The speaker was a greasy, pot-bellied middle-aged man who appeared to be drunk; his face was flushed, he was incoherent, and his speech was somewhat slurred.

Unfortunately, such unclear words poured cold water on the otherwise lively scene.

Suddenly it became quiet.

The rather slovenly, bearded man next to him stomped hard on the greasy middle-aged man's foot under the table.

Suddenly.

The pot-bellied man was jolted by the sharp pain and realized what he had just said. He was so startled that most of the effects of the alcohol dissipated!

A cold sweat instantly broke out all over my body!

He only dared to steal glances at another table not far from the gambling table out of the corner of his eye.

Those people were dressed and looked distinctly different.

Wearing a strange black robe, with deliberately drawn blood-red lotus tattoos etched on the exposed skin!

It is Honglian's person!

Their faces were mostly obscured by their hoods, and one of them was leisurely playing with the chips in his hand, as if he hadn't heard the greasy middle-aged man's words.

But everything around seemed to have gone silent.

I didn't dare breathe!

While the outside world may not know, anyone in the Dark City with even a little bit of information knows that the Red Lotus Organization's recent disappearance is not a strategy to fight the Alliance, but rather a sign that they have truly suffered a major blow!

Their entire camp has vanished without a trace!

The kill order was issued after that, with a bounty of tens of millions!

The Red Lotus Organization, which has always been arrogant and domineering, suffered its first Waterloo. Even though everyone knew the truth, how could these thugs dare to mention it casually?

This is the Crimson Lotus Organization's Achilles' heel!

"Snapped--"

The Crimson Lotus members, who had been manipulating the chips, finally slammed them onto the table.

The sound wasn't loud, but it made the greasy middle-aged man's heart pound like a drum, his scalp tingle, and his legs go weak.

Then he slowly stood up.

The other two also got up.

His eyes were completely covered by the hood, only revealing the corner of his mouth, which looked like it had been stitched up!

Two long slits extended from the corners of the mouth to below the earlobes.

He just smiled lightly.

The two stitched scars became even more grotesque, reminiscent of a horror movie, and were quite terrifying!

He just hadn't yet reached the side of the greasy middle-aged man.

Suddenly a voice sounded.

"The Crimson Lotus Organization has graced us with their presence. Why didn't you give us a heads-up? These chips are hardly enough for you to play with!"

The man was in his thirties, with narrow eyes that revealed shrewd calculation, and he spoke with extreme smoothness.

Upon hearing this, the scarred man with the red lotus stopped in his tracks.

A fleeting glint of light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The other party seemed polite, but in reality, they were reminding me not to act rashly on their turf.

The scarred man narrowed his eyes, feeling extremely displeased.

However, they have been recuperating recently, and their strength has been greatly reduced, so it is indeed not advisable for them to openly oppose the only neutral force in the Dark City.

"Oh, no need."

"let's go."

The scarred man snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The scarred man snorted coldly and turned to leave.
