"For a 'secret' black market, isn't this place... too obvious?" Ashton mumbled as soon as they got past the gates.
"I never said it was a secret place. Everyone knows that this market exists. But only a few know what goes inside." Rose replied with a smile.
The place was crowded unlike any place, Ashton had seen previously. At the same time, it wasn't lively either which was a bit strange. No one was even looking at each other.
It almost felt as if they were a bunch of undead walking around. Not to mention, they had just stepped in and the eerieness of the place was already exceeding charts.
But the first thing that Ashton noticed was the presence of what seemed like hundreds of armed personnel. They were strong, maybe even stronger than the city guards. Which was nothing to be surprised about, considering that the black market was not affiliated with the merchant association.
