The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

49. The Black Market and the Dark Alliance

Yucheng, Xiaocong Street.

A peddler walked into the depths of a narrow alley, at the end of which was a simple wooden house. He gently pushed open the door and entered.

“Big brother, the goods from the Dark Alliance have been with us for so long, and they still haven’t sent anyone to pick them up. Everyone’s searching outside now, and if they search our hideout, we’ll be at a huge loss.”

“Don’t panic. They’ve already arranged in the letter to come this afternoon to rendezvous with us and take away the princess and the other goods. The Dark Alliance trusts us to help with the transport. It’s proven by our strong connections and orderly management that we’ve transported the princess from Huangcheng to Yucheng without the stupid officials having a clue. She’s already here. Just wait a little longer; we have less than half a day. Once this is done, the Dark Alliance will be our backbone, and we’ll have as much business as we want.”

“But big brother, the officials have enlisted the help of disciples from the three major sects, and two are about to step foot here. One is named Du Shengtao, and the other is Chen Zhong. I’ve heard of their many brilliant achievements before, and they’re both very capable. I’m worried…”

“Don’t worry. We’ll do as we always do, naturally. Those sect disciples wouldn’t dare touch our black market without evidence. We have a lot of goods that are connected to many underground organizations and sects. If they act without evidence, they’ll make enemies. They’re not foolish enough to act rashly. By the way, you mentioned three sect disciples; where’s the third?”

“His name is Lin Nuo, a disciple of Xuan Yun Sect. I heard he went to Huangcheng and left soon after. He hasn’t been seen in Yucheng.”

“Then he might be looking for the princess elsewhere. As long as he doesn’t come to Yucheng, we won’t bother with him.”

Inside the small house, two men were discussing in low voices. Capturing and transporting the princess was a big deal. Once successful, the Dark Alliance would have a bargaining chip against the royal family, marking a turning point for the Dark Alliance to expand its power. And these black marketeers could also expand their own market and make a killing.

The Dark Alliance captured the princess, and the black market was responsible for her transport. They had already successfully moved her out of Huangcheng, but now with the royal army increasing patrols and searches, and seeking the help of the three major sects, the risk of moving the princess out was too great. They had to store her in Yucheng for the time being, and the Dark Alliance would send experts to rendezvous later.

The officials of Yucheng were in cahoots with the black market, which could protect them for a short time.

As agreed, the experts from the Dark Alliance would come this afternoon to rendezvous. In addition to the princess, they would also take away a batch of important contraband.

“Big brother, let’s go check on the goods.”

From noble mtl dot come

“Alright.”

The two entered a small room with a cabinet that had a passage. After pressing a mechanism, the passage door opened.

“Let’s go, inside.”

They entered a spacious underground space used to store all kinds of contraband goods. There were various exits leading to the surface, each guarded by traders and intricate mechanisms.

They had always operated this way, storing a large amount of goods in the basement.

They arrived at a place with many cargo boxes, where some black marketeers were counting.

“Big brother, the count is complete, everything’s here.”

A black marketeer came to report.

The leader nodded: “Good, according to plan, move the goods to the corresponding transfer points. The expert sent by the Dark Alliance will take over in the afternoon. Everyone, stay sharp.”

“Yes!”

The traders responded in unison, briskly and efficiently going about their business of moving goods.

…

A small forest ten miles outside of Yu City.

“Yu City is just ahead. Let’s quickly move the people and goods, and first divide the tasks.”

A man dressed in blue spoke to the others, “The royal army has started to take notice of this city, and disciples from the Hunfeng and Yulin sects will soon be involved here. It’s too conspicuous for us to move together; we’ll split up. There’s a secluded forest to the north, rarely visited by anyone. I’ll enter the city from there and take the princess out. You’ll enter through the main gate and scatter to transport the contraband. There are more of you, so you’ll attract attention. If discovered, abandon the contraband. Our priority is to get the princess out. We’ll meet in this forest afterward.”

“Brother Shen, are you sure you’ll be okay alone?”

“No problem. Being alone makes me a smaller target and less likely to be detected. You have a larger group to draw their attention. Besides, when it comes to a head-on fight, those sect monks won’t be a match for me. Let’s go, the sooner we leave, the sooner we return.”

“Yes!”

Several elites of the Dark Alliance acted according to the team leader Guang Shen’s arrangements, dispersing to carry out their tasks. The main plan was for Guang Shen to transport the princess out from the north, while the others handled the contraband. If the royal army and the sect monks discovered them, they would create chaos to draw their attention, with everything centered on moving the princess.

Soon, Guang Shen stepped into the forest to the north.

It was very quiet, as if devoid of any human presence.
