Chapter 26: Jiangcheng Underground Organization! Black Shadow?

Su Ming slung a bag over his back and went out.

Daytime is work.

Nighttime is life!

On the other side of the city.

Night Color Bar.

The most fetid, gathering place of the three teachings and nine streams in Jiangcheng.

After the altar arrived, this place was not desolate at all, but even more prosperous!

The deafening heavy‑metal music, mingled with cheap alcohol and sweat stench, made people feel like vomiting.

In a corner of the booth.

Xia Weiwei curled up tightly, and her delicate makeup could not hide the disgust and restlessness in her eyes.

She hated this place.

She hated these coarse, foul‑smelling men.

But she had to endure!

Because she knew…

In this era of collapsing order.

To climb up, one must deal with these "dirty things"!

She's so smart, how could she not understand?!

Outside the booth, her rich‑kid boyfriend Zhang Yang was nodding and bowing, smiling apologetically at a man with a face full of flab.

"Long Ge, Long Ge! Would you like a smoke?"

Zhang Yang fumbled to hand over an imported cigar, his posture extremely servile.

The fat guy called Long Ge took the cigar without even glancing at him.

He only used his slanted eyes, sweeping over Xia Weiwei without restraint, chuckling oddly.

Xia Weiwei forced down her nausea and forced a stiff smile in reply.

"Long Ge, about that thing we mentioned last time…"

Zhang Yang rubbed his hands, his face plastered with a smile.

"Look, could you recommend my brother over at Black Shadow…?"

Black Shadow!

One of Jiangcheng's largest underground organizations.

In this altar era, it thrives like a fish in water, like a tiger with added wings.

It is said to monopolize countless resources, its elite spread everywhere, truly a great power!

Zhang Yang and Xia Weiwei naturally dreamed of getting on this line.

In today's world, having an organization that can back you up is too important!

Long Ge exhaled a smoke ring, glancing sideways at Zhang Yang.

"Recommendation? What do you think Black Shadow is? A place you can just walk into because you're that kind of trash?"

Zhang Yang's face stiffened, but he swallowed his anger, quickly pulled a thick envelope from his pocket and shoved it over.

"Long Ge, a little something, not quite respect!"

"When the matter succeeds, this amount!"

He spread out five fingers.

"Just fifty thousand?"

"No, no… five hundred thousand!"

Long Ge finally hummed, weighed the envelope, and spoke slowly.

"Fine, you kid still have some sense."

"But I'll be blunt: whether you can get into Black Shadow's good graces depends on your own…"

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, Long Ge!"

Beside them, Xia Weiwei watched Zhang Yang's servile demeanor and felt a surge of contempt.

"Useless!"

If it weren't for Zhang Yang's remaining family background and his ability to bring a sacrifice, she would have kicked him out long ago.

She wouldn't have to endure his daily ice‑fire extremes!

Leaving the bar, the two got into a car.

Zhang Yang let out a long sigh, feeling as if he were floating.

He hugged Xia Weiwei's waist, his large hand beginning to act indecently.

"Baby, it worked! Long Ge agreed!"

"In a moment, we'll get to meet the big shots of Black Shadow!"

Xia Weiwei forced herself to push back his impulse, leaning delicately in his arms.

"Brother Yang, you're awesome!"

"Tonight I'll accompany you… playing mom!"

"Hehe!"

Zhang Yang was elated beyond reason.

"Once we get into Black Shadow, won't Jiangcheng be at our mercy?"

"Then, your worthless ex‑boyfriend and those cats and dogs, if they ever upset you, you'll crush them all!"

Ex‑boyfriend... Su Ming?

When she heard Zhang Yang's words, a hint of gloom flashed in Xia Weiwei's eyes.

That good‑for‑nothing, who knows where he's scraping chaff and swallowing vegetables now!

He actually dared to block her?

And it's been several days, and he hasn't sent a single message?!

"By the way, babe, for your performance later, I've prepared two hard coins."

"One is the Blue and White Porcelain Bottle my dad treasured, the other is my mom's bottom‑drawer Ruby Necklace; you mustn't drop the chain!"

Soon, the car arrived at the outskirts of Jiangcheng.

An abandoned chemical plant.

This is the Black Shadow's other secret base in Jiangcheng.

Zhang Yang and Xia Weiwei were led in with their eyes blindfolded.

The moment the blindfolds were ripped off, both bodies shivered.

In the spacious, dilapidated workshop, black‑clad hulks filled the space, each looking ferocious and bristling with killing intent.

The most eye‑catching sight was the black‑cloak sculpture in the center of the workshop!

It is the symbol of the Black Shadow!

Beside the sculpture stood a middle‑aged man with a fierce, hawk‑hooked nose.

He toyed with two Iron Bullets in his hand, producing a harsh clatter.

That guy is precisely the head of this division—

Eagle Elder!

"Is that them?"

Eagle Elder didn't even lift an eyelid.

Long Ge hunched over.

"Yes, Eagle Elder! My two friends want to pay tribute at the pier!"

Eagle Elder remained silent, lifted his eyelid, and gave Zhang Yang and Xia Weiwei a glance.

That gaze was exactly as if he were looking at two lambs awaiting slaughter.

"Do you understand the Rule?"

"Got it! Got it!"

Zhang Yang hurriedly fished out a piece of wood emitting a faint glow from his bag.

It was the prop Xia Weiwei had taken out of the altar!

"Eagle Elder, this is our Token of Allegiance!"

"Not gonna hide it from you! It's a fine green‑quality treasure!"

Upon hearing that, Eagle Elder was somewhat surprised and glanced at the wood a few more times.

At that moment, Xia Weiwei inhaled deeply and straightened her back.

She knew the time had come to show her worth!

"I'll go!"

She took the wooden piece from Zhang Yang's hand, mustering courage, and stepped a few paces toward Eagle Elder.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, she spoke.

"Eagle Elder, is there an altar here?"

"I will, sacrifice on the spot!"

The surrounding crowd shivered in unison upon hearing this.

What does that mean?

Do they think the Chip is insufficient and want to hand over more props to earn a slot?

Eagle Elder gave Xia Weiwei a look, said nothing, and simply waved his hand.

Immediately someone stepped forward, leading the two toward the altar.

Every day, they have a dedicated person marking nearby altars.

Whenever they spot an altar likely to yield good goods, everyone chooses to invest together!

A very practical technique!

Soon, the group moved to the first area.

Xia Weiwei inhaled deeply and took off a Ruby Necklace from around her neck.

It was the one Zhang Yang had given her in the car!

"Hum—"

After a brief silence, a dense Green Light shot upward!

"Green Light!"

"Sss—!"

All around, a chorus of sharp inhalations rose.

This woman, her luck is really good?

Eagle Elder's finger twiddling the Iron Bullet paused, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

And Zhang Yang was so excited he almost leapt up.

Indeed!

Indeed!

Xia Weiwei proudly lifted her chin.

But it wasn't over yet.

Then, the group shifted their steps again.

Moreover, the two altars were extremely close together.

Xia Weiwei took a deep breath, took the Blue and White Porcelain Bottle from Zhang Yang's hand, and placed it directly onto the first altar!

"Hum—"

Another Green Light!

"What the heck?!"

The surroundings instantly became noisy.

Is this correct?

The luck is almost god‑defying!

But this… isn't over yet!

Under everyone's gaze, Xia Weiwei took off the Diamond Ring from her hand and threw it into another altar!

"Hum—"

The third Green Light!

The whole venue fell deathly silent.

Three consecutive Green Lights!!!

What does that even mean?

In this era where White Light is everywhere…

You just triggered three Green Lights in a row?!

Beside them, Ying Ye's gaze finally changed.

He slipped the Iron Bullet in his pocket, walked up to Xia Weiwei, and examined her from head to toe.

"Not bad!"

Ying Ye rarely showed a hint of a smile.

"Little girl, you have great luck."

Xia Weiwei felt a shiver under Ying Ye's stare, but her vanity forced her to speak up!

"That's nothing! The six sacrifices I made before were all—Green Light!"

"What?!"

At those words, the crowd could no longer hold back.

Even Ying Ye's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment.

"Nine consecutive Greens?!"

What a terrifying probability!

"Is it a person?!"

Xia Weiwei took in everyone's expressions, her smug look deepening.

She suddenly thought, this so‑called Black Shadow…

Is that all?

But at that moment.

A figure emerged slowly from the shadows!
