Thunder Fortress.
There was a place on the Sixth Floor of Tong Tian Tower that could induce fear in a person just by hearing its name— the Thunder Fortress.
Despite its name, it was not a castle or fortress, but a kingdom.
More accurately speaking, it was a robbers' den.
The king who reigned over the Thunder Fortress was Chong Ni, who was ranked eighth on the Bloody Villain List.
He was a Level Eight Innate with supreme powers that could move mountains, a force where nobody could match up to their power to. He was also a serial killer who had killed over forty thousand Rankers in the past 600 years.
Forget about Chong Ni, his three followers—Demon Eye, Mountain Elf, and Blood River, were all serial killers in the top hundred of the Bloody Villain List.
Yue Yang was heading towards the Thunder Fortress, the place where he could unleash his powers without any restrictions.
He first teleported to the Yellow Goat Hills, the only place that allowed access to the public. Then, he subsequently made his way to the outpost station of the Thunder Fortress, the ancient town of Yellow Goat.
Power ruled over everything here. As long as one had enough power, he would be granted access to anywhere.
As Yue Yang strolled along the streets of the ancient town of Yellow Goat, he felt sentimental as he looked at the bustling trading zone. He had also seen this type of thing in his past life.
As extreme as it may sound, immorality certainly nurtures business faster.
Being profit-maximizing, merchants did not care about justice. They used extreme tactics to earn more money. For example, slave trading was an extremely profitable industry...
"Do you need a female slave? She's a Half-Elf with an exotic look and a hot body. A single taste of her would definitely drive you crazy!" More than one merchant attempted to promote their slaves to Yue Yang.
"Are there any Golden Elves?" After walking a few rounds, Yue Yang finally stopped in front of the asked the fat frog merchant who attempted to promote his Half-Elf to him. Yue Yang had recognized him. He was Jia Da.
"Shhh!" The fat frog merchant shushed him. "You know the goods well, but Golden Elves were extremely hard to get. Maybe you didn't know that they were very stubborn and would not leave the forest they were inhabiting easily, hence, making hunting them extremely difficult. To make matter worse, when one Golden Elf was caught, all the other villagers will go after and kill the hunter. They would not stop until they die. The Golden Elves had always been a subject of interest to the VIPs, but demand had always been greater than supply. Who doesn't want to earn that money? It's just that it's really too hard to get them! I've been a merchant for over a hundred years and I was only involved in trafficking them twice. The last time I did it, I was kidnapping a young Golden Elf, but I was attacked by a Golden Elf that was thousands of years old. I almost die from fright, so I could only let that little prize go... Boy, it was a little prize worth more than 50,000 gold! If it's grown up, people would even be willing to pay more than 100,000 gold for it! "
"Really?" Yue Yang replied disinterestedly as he prepared to leave.
"Wait, although I don't have a Golden Elf, I still have other beauties from different races, including virgins. Do you want to take a look at some of my goods? I'm sure that you will find one that satisfies you. Our Golden Toad Guild was one of the largest Merchant Guild on the Sixth Floor of Tong Tian Tower, ranked 95 out of ten thousand other Merchant Guilds. I'm sure that you have heard of us." The fat frog persuaded, afraid that Yue Yang would runoff. For him to be able to ask about the Golden Elf, he must be rich right?
Moreover, he was wearing was a Gold-ranked equipment mask and cladded in the Wyvern Armor. This was something a normal adventurer would not possess.
Yue Yang wasn't interested in buying a slave nor was he interested in doing something so troublesome as upholding his sense of justice and free all the slaves here.
Actually, Yue Yang's real intention was to enter the Thunder Fortress, if not for it he wouldn't have even spoken with the fat frog merchant.
"I want to enter the Thunder Fortress to get some stuff, if it's within your ability then name me a price." Yue Yang's tone was akin to those serial killers who wished to seek refuge with Chong Ni.
"Ahem, it's not that I'm doubting your strength, but entering the Thunder Fortress is a little... if you don't have a guarantor, it will be very hard... I click well with you and want to help you, but..." The fat frog merchant was a little hesitant because if Yue Yang were to get caught, it may implicate him.
"1000 gold." Yue Yang started his price.
"What... What did you say? 1000... I want to help but my hands were tied, I..." The fat frog merchant gulped on his saliva. He wanted to earn the money but was afraid that he would lose his life before he could even spend them.
"2000 gold." Like a vicious devil, Yue Yang kept tempting the merchant with money.
"I really can't..." The fat frog merchant decided that if Yue Yang offered an additional 100 gold, he would relent.
" If you can't then mind." Yue Yang turned and left.
"Hey, wait! ", the fat frog merchant almost wanted to slap himself. Why was he so stupid? He could only earn a profit of 200 gold from the sale of the Half-Elf beauty, but now he could earn 2000 gold right away without any capital. How could he simply reject it?
When it was nighttime, the fat frog brought Yue Yang through the heavily guarded Teleportation Circle and headed towards the Thunder Fortress.
"This is?" At the entrance to the underground city, even after being bribed, an Elite Guard still cautiously asked for Yue Yang's identity.
"My nephew! His face got disfigured during a battle so he had to wear a mask. I brought him here to broaden his horizon, he definitely won't cause any trouble as we were all law-abiding merchants. " The fat frog merchant said as he gave another 20 gold as entrance fee to the elite guard. The elite guard frowned as he pondered over how a frog would have a nephew of human descend. But what trouble could a timid merchant cause?
"If anything happens, the Golden Toad Guild will have to bear all responsibility." The elite guard warned.
"Yes, yes, of course." The fat frog nodded and bowed, appearing respectful on the surface, but he thought secretly, once we enter, who would know that I brought him in?
