Chapter 1608 - The Joys Of The Rich

Lin Huang headed straight to the black market after dinner.

There was an underground auction there tonight.

He had heard that there would be slaves of various tribes among the items up for bid.

Lin Huang knew that the siblings, Shen Jue and Shen Yu, would be there.

It had been a week since the consecutive killings of the Heavenly Gods who were on the Heavenly God Leaderboard’s ranking list.

Throughout the week, this incident had stirred heated discussions everywhere.

At first, most people speculated that Buried Heaven was responsible. However, someone confirmed that Buried Heaven had gone into the Abyss with an expedition of troops and had not come out yet.

There were also several people who thought it might be Xiu Mu from Death Sickle, who had risen to fame recently. However, others quickly shot this speculation down.

After all, although Lin Huang had obtained the highest combat results under the guise of Xiu Mu a couple of months ago, he had only killed third-rank heavenly god-level powerhouses. Furthermore, he was only a True God.

Many of the dead victims were geniuses from various organizations and had been on the Heavenly God Leaderboard’s ranking list. Anyone who could make it into the Heavenly God Leaderboard rankings was the cream of the crop among ninth-rank Heavenly Gods. Their abilities were beyond those of any ordinary ninth-rank Heavenly God. Any individual who could kill these people almost instantly had to be either a half-step Lord or a peak heavenly god-level powerhouse like Buried Heaven.

Many people had no doubts about Xiu Mu’s ability once he elevated to ninth-rank heavenly god-level in the future. They even felt that he might surpass Buried Heaven.

However, logically speaking, it was less than half a year since Xiu Mu had first shown his face in public. No matter how talented he was, it was impossible for his combat strength to advance a whole level within such a short time and elevate to ninth-rank heavenly god-level.

The name Xiu Mu merely came to everyone’s mind for a second and was then immediately buried and forgotten.

Anyway, there were other assassin organizations in the God Territory as well, apart from Death Sickle. Not only that, but the assassin might also be from outside the God Territory.

After several days of enthusiastic discussion, Lin Huang’s temporary pause in the killings caused the popularity of the topic to gradually die down.

On the internet, with its constant information explosion, everyone had short memories. They were easily distracted by new things as well.

This was what Lin Huang wanted because he knew that if the topic grew more popular, it would only make it more difficult for him to kill his last two targets.

After entering the auction grounds, he quickly found himself a seat.

After sitting down, he began looking around.

The auction venue in Gemini’s black market was not very large and could only hold three thousand people. There was no VIP room either.

It was just an open hall with thirty rows of seats in total, with one hundred seats per row.

Lin Huang’s seat was in the last row—the thirtieth row—and was beside the walkway, closest to the door.

One of the reasons why he picked this seat was that if anyone were sitting behind him, they would notice something unusual if he made any moves, however small. Another reason was that this was the most convenient seat for leaving the hall.

He chose to carry out the assassination inside the venue, as there were many uncertain factors if he were to attempt the killings while his targets were on their way to the auction.

If the two targets did not depart at the same time, he could only kill one of them and would have to give up on his second target.

No such issue existed if the assassination took place in the venue itself because the siblings would meet there sooner or later. All he had to do was to wait patiently for the two of them to appear.

Moreover, during this period when everyone was jittery, Shen Jue and Shen Yu’s status and potential in God Capital meant they would certainly have powerful guardians covertly following them.

In a place with a crowd, it would also be easier to distract these guardians.

Lin Huang’s arrival at the venue was considered relatively early; after he went in, more people began showing up rapidly.

Seeing that the first row was fast filling up, Lin Huang became increasingly uncertain whether or not Shen Jue and Shen Yu would come.

After all, the guest list was completely confidential, and he was only guessing that they would make an appearance since there were slaves at the auction this time. He was not one hundred percent certain that they would.

Right as the auction was about to officially start and the auctioneer was waiting to go on stage, two figures finally showed up late.

These two individuals were a lady in a white dress and a man in a white suit.

Both of them looked ninety percent similar to each other. In face and form, they were so utterly perfect that no one could find anything to nitpick.

Their appearance soon attracted the attention of everyone in the venue, including Lin Huang’s.

These two were no other than the targets he intended to kill—the siblings Shen Jue and Shen Yu!

Despite having attracted everyone’s attention as soon as they showed up, the twins’ expressions betrayed no signs of surprise, as if they were already used to such reactions.

Shen Yu held onto Shen Jue’s arm, and they slowly made their way to the last two seats on the first row. They occupied the two best seats in the entire auction.

On Gemini, even tourists were aware of who the siblings were.

Lin Huang smirked faintly. He might well be the happiest person in the venue to see the brother and sister.

The thing he had been most worried about for his plan this time was if the pair did not make an appearance. If they did not come, he would have wasted his efforts. Not only that, he had no idea when he would have another opportunity to make his move.

To Lin Huang, the twins showing up now was the equivalent of completing half his assassination mission.

Lin Huang did not attack right away when he saw the siblings taking their seats. Instead, he waited patiently.

The auction had yet to begin, so there was no one to distract the crowd’s attention from him. It was not the best time to attack.

After Shen Jue and Shen Yu entered, the auctioneer checked the time, then made his way on stage.

After some opening remarks, the underground auction officially began!

"Let’s look at the first item we have up for bids today!" As the auctioneer spoke, he pulled off the red cloth that covered the item, revealing a suit of golden armor.

However, he noticed that many people seemed to be interested in this suit of armor.

Just when he was having doubts, the auctioneer finally began introducing the item.

"I’m sure many of our guests can tell that this is a suit of General’s Armor from the Combat God Temple. Even in the Combat God Temple, only the top Heavenly Gods have the right to purchase it. Under normal circ.u.mstances, something like this would be prohibited from being displayed anywhere outside of the Combat God Temple. Therefore, in the entire God Territory, apart from the Combat God Temple, it’s said that only three people own such a collectible.

"I wonder which of our guests will be able to obtain this collectible and become the legendary fourth person to own one..."

After listening to the auctioneer’s description of the item up for bid, Lin Huang suddenly realized that the suit of armor was contraband goods from the Combat God Temple.

Some powerful organizations possessed exclusive equipment that was strictly for their own internal use. This set of armor was clearly one of these items.

As such, it was no longer a god sequence relic but a limited edition collectible.

As potential purchasers kept shouting bids continuously, the price skyrocketed. Within ten seconds, it had gone up to triple the price of regular top-grade god sequence relic battle armor and was still getting increasingly higher.

All Lin Huang could say was that the joys of the rich were things one could not even begin to imagine.
