Kastro's talent is very reassuring.
Neon still has the same temper, after Light Nostrade gained many benefits through her fortune poems, for some of her requests, he tried to meet them as much as possible.
However, Light Nostrade could not accompany her in time due to work reasons, which made her lose her temper every time.
This time was no exception.
After focusing on the selection of Shadow Beasts this time, Light Nostrade once again rejected Neon's idea of going out for a trip.
In Lan's absence, Light would not let Neon go out casually.
The last time Lan told him that there were people outside who could plunder and steal abilities, it really raised his vigilance to the highest level.
Only when Lan was by her side could he be completely at ease.
So… after Lan left, Neon could only stay at home, honestly.
For this reason, Neon, who's sad and bitter, made a big fuss again, and after being exhausted, she fainted again.
Well… it's just a daily occurrence.
Yorknew City is a prosperous city.
A river at the edge of the city is almost the dividing point.
On one side are bright lights with drunkenness and extravagance in the atmosphere, and on the other side is the lifeless darkness and numbness.
Starting from September 1 of every year, a grand auction will be held here.
This auction will last for a total of ten days. Here, all kinds of rare treasures will appear.
There are underground auctions held by mafias, which specialize in auctioning shameful or incomprehensible items.
There is also the world's largest auction held by the government.
This auction will have at least 50,000 participants, and it is the most authoritative auction in Yorknew City.
Its admission ticket and auction item catalog will cost 12 million Jenny.
It can be said that it is the interweaving of light and shadow, the grandest formal auction, and the grandest dark auction, all of which gathered at the same time in the same city.
It must be said that a city has such a complex duality, which also has its charm.
"It's a pity that I was training last year, and my boss was busy with his career, so I couldn't come here to see it."
Last September, Light Nostrade used the relationship with the Ritz Family and relied on Neon's fortune poems to gain power and money continuously.
It can be said that he is in a period of rapid development, and he can't delay any day.
And the underground auction in Yorknew City is a veritable den of money.
As long as you come and don't spend a lot of money and take out the price that makes the Ten Mafia Dons satisfied and leave, then your underworld career will be over.
Light Nostrade, who has not accumulated much wealth and knows how to develop steadily, avoided the auction last year.
Even in his opinion, he doesn't want to participate this year.
Instead, he plans to use the wealth accumulated in the past few years to prepare for a blockbuster at the auction next year!
Lan also came here to explore the way in advance.
When Lan got off the airship at the airport, he took a deep breath.
Well, there is no sweet taste at all.
After leaving the airport, Lan took a local taxi and went directly to the Gordeau Desert.
However, because there were many gangsters blocking the road, the driver dropped him off at the entrance of the desert.
"Another one coming to die?"
The man who was responsible for blocking the road let Lan go and laughed disdainfully after learning Lan's intention.
"To die?"
Lan looked at him.
"What are you asking? Hurry up and get in!"
The man looked impatient: "I don't want to talk too much nonsense with the dead people coming down!"
Swish!!
As soon as he finished speaking, a dark muzzle of a gun was pressed on his head.
"I advise you to think it over before you speak."
Lan held the gun in his hand and pressed it against the man's trembling forehead.
"You… do you know what you are doing?!"
Feeling the muzzle of the gun on his head, the man's face was covered with cold sweat.
"You are provoking the Ten Mafia Dons and the Shadow Beasts!!"
He roared in a low voice, but he didn't even dare to raise his head.
At this time, the other minions who were blocking the road nearby finally reacted.
Seeing this, they were shocked and quickly took out the guns on their waists and pointed them at Lan." Of course, I know. Didn't you just say that I was here to die?"
Lan smiled: "So, I, a dying man, am very curious about the situation inside."
"You'd better explain it to me now; otherwise, I may just give up and take one away now."
The man: Are the newcomers coming here so desperate now?!
He wanted to curse, but the muzzle of the gun on his forehead brought him back to reality.
Gulu.
At that moment, he swallowed his saliva and honestly told all the situations inside.
It turns out that the selection of Shadow Beasts this time is said to be from the candidates recommended by each family.
But in fact, Ten Mafia Dons already have their own reserve talents.
Those so-called masters who came to participate in the selection were all here to serve as food.
"Every so-called master who came to participate in the selection all went in vertically and came out horizontally."
The minions made the final summary in a sloppy manner.
"Isn't this just finding the strongest one?"
Lan always felt that this method was particularly familiar.
With so many lives, the most powerful person was piled up.
Lan thought of another point: "Aren't they afraid that the people below will have opinions if they do this?"
"That's Ten Mafia Dons, who dares to have any opinions!"
The sloppy men were timid: "Even if those masters were killed, it can be said that they were not as good as others."
"What's more, the only ones who came here were the small family who didn't know the inside story and fantasized about rising to the top in one step."
"The well-known mafia families like the Ritz have not made any moves."
Does the Ritz Family also know the inside story?
But they did not tell Light Nostrade the details.
That is to say…
"Weaken the strength of the families below?"
Lan understood instantly: "Letting the families below send their most powerful subordinate here to die is equivalent to weakening their strength in disguise, which is beneficial to the control of the upper families, such as the Ritz Family, over the lower families."
"But Light Nostrade should have established a good relationship with the Ritz Family. There is no reason why he could not get this kind of news…"
Lan carefully recalled the communication with Light Nostrade.
Judging from his tone of voice, facial expressions, and other aspects, Lan ruled out the possibility that Light Nostrade knew about it in advance but deliberately let himself die.
And no matter from which aspect, he had no reason to do so.
So that means…
"Did the Ritz Family deliberately not tell Light Nostrade? Interesting…"
Lan has almost guessed a little truth about the matter.
"It seems that Light Nostrade's momentum of rising with Neon's help is too fast, and the Ritz Family can't help but want to restrict him."
"No matter how good the relationship is, if they are threatened, they would suppress them."
