20: Fake argument ignite

Both of them stopped by when a group of trees appeared in their sight. It was her first time seeing the sun so close, it was about to indulge them, too hot.

The both of them rested under the tree for the next one and then again departed from there, their journey by the feet was quite long.

It was around 9 in the evening when they arrived at the easy region city.

East Region City,

A city f is full of lights and stars, bright from every corner, crowded and lively. Is it the same city as it was the whole day? From no corner it was barren or abandoned, the sea of people swimming in this virtual pool. Nuri was surely impressed.

" I had no idea that a barren city like this can be this lively when night falls ", Said Nuri with a large smile on her face.

" Same! I have never been to this place before. I had no idea that such a place even exists in the world ", Even Santiago was impressed.

And now that they are already in the right location, what's their next plan?

Nuri gazed around. Whoever her eyes could go, it was only a crowd and people laughing and chatting, having fun with their loved ones. A night like this seems to be so special to them.

" Even though we are already here, how are we going to enter Black Market? Do you have a token or anything that can get us past the gate? ", Santiago asked.

" I have nothing of that sort. Let's first look around, we should know what to do next based on how people react when we are to mention the black market ", Nuri said in a light tone.

As much as Nuri knows, one must have a pass or a token to land safely inside the black market. Without the proof, they can't even go past the entrance, let alone roam around. This sacred place was called the black market for a reason.

Since they have already landed themselves in the east region, they must take full advantage of this chance. Nuri held his hand and started walking around, like a lover she was holding onto his hand.

Santiago was taken aback by her sudden approach. " Hey! Nuri, what do you think you are doing? Let go of me ", Said Santiago.

" I don't enjoy holding your hand either. In this crowded place, you will have to become my eyes. As you saw yesterday, I can't make eye contact with anyone. If I am to go against the rule, I will be swayed, so please guide me through it ", Nuri was extremely conscious about her powers.

Using her powers on one person is different but showing it to a bunch of people will only into trouble, she gotta be extra careful.

She turned her head down, facing the earth and the ground. Santiago already noticed yesterday that she was different, so after hearing her, he held onto her hand tightly.

If anything is to happen here, he will protect her at all costs that's what he thought to himself.

As they entered the crowd, many voices were mixed their fusion was cozy in the ears, and not annoying as it should be.

While he was guiding her through the crowd, She pulled him back. He stretched the backside and looked at her all worried. " What happened? ", He asked.

" Be quiet. Come here ", Said Nuri as she guided him towards the right side stall close to them.

It was a couple having a sweet conversation by the end of the stall. As good-looking as they are, their talk was quite strange.

A cat woman with a dog-looking man, chatting with him while her whole body leaned completely on him. " Babe! I want that jewelry at any cost. It doesn't matter how much you have to spend, even if you go bankrupt, acquire that rare gold jewelry. You know how important it is for me to get it ".

" Og honey! Have faith in me. I have already given you my words. I will get that jewelry for you, and it's a promise. Just believe me ".

Santiago and Nuri were sitting by their opposite while hearing their normal yet abnormal conversation. San did not understand what Nuri was trying to do...but even so, he just stood there beside her while waiting for her next move.

Nuri scanned them with her eyes, her eyes alone were enough to sense everyone was abnormal to the normals.

[ Scanning complete. There is a silver token in the back pant pocket of the Dog race man, it's a pass to enter the Black market. You have to acquire it ]

Her system gave out the notification after she scanned them both. She was surprised to see that her eyes were just like an x-ray machine, able to scan anything.

She has to act fast now since she knows the water inside the sacred illegal place. She turned to him and winked at him, giving him some signals.

But innocent as him, failed to get her motives and thoughts.

She bit her lips. " Follow my lead. We will act like we are fighting with each other, you are my lover. Do whatever you want and ignite the fire between us. And when you get a chance, push me towards that dog and cat like a couple ", She mumbled to him.

Santiago nodded to her as he smiled back.

And now...action.

" Why did you do it? ", She started acting, and she was an angry woman right now.

" What the hell are you talking about? I can't understand a single thing you are saying ", He spoke in a louder tone.

" Don't fuck with me, I know what you did. You are my lover, we have been together for the last three years. So how can you cheat on me? How can you sleep with my mom? Have you no shame? ", Nuri shouted.

Her voice was loud enough to be heard by many people crowding in that single area.

" Sleeping with her mom? Has that man gone crazy? ".

" How can someone be so immoral? ".
