The money you earn is all other people's hard-earned money.

The serious-looking man in black and white murmured to himself.

Moreover, this so-called "blood and sweat" is exactly what it sounds like literally.

"Okay, I'll order from you then."

He looked convinced:

"However, I need a relatively large quantity of goods, so if it becomes inconvenient for you to be exposed..."

"Don't worry, boss, that's impossible!!"

Upon hearing that a deal was likely to be struck, the stall owner was overjoyed and patted his chest, guaranteeing the deal:

"Please don't worry. If all else fails, I can even bring the goods over for you to inspect first."

"However~"

The stall owner grinned:

"Let's get this straight up: if you're sure, I can go get the goods for you right now..."

"But what if I deliver the goods, and you decide you don't want them anymore..."

"I know the rules."

The serious-looking man in black and white nodded and pulled out a bank card with his other hand.

"This contains my deposit, and it also represents my sincerity."

Meeting the vendor's greedy, burning gaze, the stern-faced man in black and white said in a low voice:

"After I've inspected the goods and found no problems, I will make up the remaining amount."

After saying that, he flicked his finger and sent the bank card flying in front of the vendor.

"Boss, you're so generous!!"

The vendor gave a thumbs-up with one hand, quickly took the bank card with the other, and then hid it in his pocket in the blink of an eye.

"Just you wait and see. Bring me to my shop at this time tomorrow, and I will take you to inspect the goods."

"Then it's settled."

After the two made their agreement, the vendor hurriedly went to prepare the goods.

The serious-looking man in black and white also turned around and walked deeper into the street.

"The vendor just revealed a lot of information. On one hand, he was showing me his background, demonstrating his skills and connections to close such a big deal."

"On the other hand~"

Out of the corner of his eye, the serious-looking man in black and white also caught a glimpse of a group of guys gradually approaching from his surroundings and behind him.

Some of those people hid themselves very well, while others didn't bother to hide at all.

They just casually leaned against the wall or sat on the ground.

When the serious-looking man in black and white looked over, they sneered and met his gaze without fear.

He even revealed a fierce look in his eyes.

"Has someone already come here to follow me and monitor my every move?"

"That's true. After all, these guys here know exactly what the ore from Spicy Mountain is."

"If they're really here to place an order, that's fine, but I'm worried they might be here to cause trouble."

"For example, other forces outside that want to covet the wealth here, or those that want to destroy this place..."

He tightened his grip on the hunter's license he had hidden in his pocket:

"Professional hunters who will wipe out this wicked ghost cave."

The entire city of Laxiangshan is built on the foundation and industry of its mineral resources. It's safe to say that at least eight or ten people in the city rely on this mineral for their livelihood. If anyone were to come here and cause harm to the city, trying to destroy its foundations, the people here would fight tooth and nail. Therefore, surveillance of unfamiliar visitors is already underway.

"Originally, I was thinking of following that vendor tonight to trace the source and find the mastermind behind this place. But now it seems that I can't act too rashly right now..." There are so many people watching him here. According to the real gangsters, they would either look at these guys with contempt and disdain and ignore them completely, or they would directly scold and berate them and drive them away. According to the serious man in black and white, even if he took the latter approach and drove these guys away, they would probably back down on the surface, but the surveillance behind the scenes would be even more numerous and complex.

"So if I disappear from their sight, the stall owners will most likely get the news. This is a test of my identity. Even if I really am a member of the gang, the moment I disappear, the operation to get the goods for me will immediately stop. No matter how much they want to make money and how greedy they are, these basic security measures are still necessary. After all, even if there are some higher-ups who are blinded by money, so many surveillance personnel will make them calm down. It seems that everything still needs to be planned a little longer... I need to find a suitable opportunity."

The serious-looking man in black and white walked along, pondering: "First, I need to lower the guard of that vendor and his group, then see if I can get more information out of him about his so-called brother-in-law, the biggest shareholder here. If I can pinpoint his location and residence, then I can ignore everything here. I can just go directly to his door and disregard the surveillance... surveillance..."

The stern-faced man in black and white suddenly stopped. He stared intently at the scene before him. The group of people who had been surrounding him, monitoring him, immediately became agitated. They roared and cursed as they arrogantly charged forward, ignoring the man completely. Now, something far more important than monitoring him had arisen.

Before them lay a pile of menacing-looking fellows, clearly their comrades. Naturally, they too were performing the same task: monitoring unidentified outsiders. And this particular outsider they were monitoring…

"I just glanced at you, and you dared to glare at me..." Among the group of burly men lying on the ground, von Clay stood out. He was the only one standing there, making him particularly conspicuous. "You even tried to attack me~" He chuckled, simply waving his hand. "That's quite unreasonable." It was as if he had merely shooed away flies, doing something utterly insignificant.

Then, he seemed to notice the gaze directed at him from not far away. Seeing the familiar black and white attire, though not as exaggerated as in later generations, he couldn't help but laugh. "Looks like I've been quite destined to connect with the future twelve Earthly Branches lately." Hmm, first "Sheep" Yin Da, then "Pig" Jin Freecss. And now, this one before me…
