Chapter 2625 - 2626: King of Sin
Chapter 2625: Chapter 2626: King of Sin
Although she found it hard to believe, thinking about the usual style of the Federal Credential Bureau, Si Qingqing eventually remained silent.
Xue An merely glanced at the high wall, then turned around and said.
"Let’s go! Cheng Hao wasn’t wrong. At least in the eyes of many, these homeless wanderers aren’t even worth as much as the dog in their own backyard!"
The group walked straight through a dilapidated street, and the sights along the way made it hard to believe this was the second district that the Federal Credential Bureau described as extremely prosperous.
And the groups of muscular men gathered on either side of the road were even more terrifying.
Because among these people, there were not only ordinary people but also many fallen Cultivators, and even some modified Mechanical Warriors.
All of these people squinted their eyes at Xue An’s group, their gazes filled with evil.
The chaotic scene made Si Qingqing’s scalp tingle.
She was sure that if it weren’t for the fact that their side had more people, and they looked like trouble, these fierce-eyed muscle men would have already rushed at them.
Yet at that moment, Xue An merely raised an eyebrow and looked at these people.
Instantly, these arrogant men looked as if they had seen a formidable beast, their expressions changed drastically, and then they scattered like birds and beasts.
Xue An didn’t bother paying attention to them and led the group forward.
Huyue couldn’t help but move closer and ask, "Old Xue, where are we going?"
"We’re looking for someone who can get us inside unnoticed," Xue An said lightly.
Huyue was even more puzzled, "Didn’t you just return to Earth? Do you still know people here?"
"I do know someone, but that’s from the past. Now he surely won’t remember me, but I’m confident if he’s here, there will be a way!"
"Who is this amazing person?"
"Not amazing, just some people are naturally suited for crime, so the chaos here should be his favorite ground."
As they spoke, they had reached in front of a bar.
Calling it a bar was generous, it was just a slightly run-down small building.
Many drunkards were gathered in front, the noise from inside could be heard from far away.
Even the locals wouldn’t dare walk past here.
Because those who dared to gather here were the most vicious thugs and a slight mistake could trigger a deadly disaster.
However, when Xue An’s group came close, these so-called thugs scattered like a wave.
The reason being Xue An’s aura was astonishing.
Like a sharp sword unsheathed, it made people afraid to look directly.
These thugs were cruel, but not stupid.
They knew that a strong figure like this appearing must mean something was up, and it wouldn’t be wise to provoke them.
So when Xue An reached the front of the bar, the entrance was already deserted.
Xue An had no interest in entering this dimly lit bar to find someone, with a casual wave of his hand.
The wall facing the street on the second floor vanished, and Xue An flashed into the suite inside.
Inside the room was a large desk, and behind it sat a person.
The man appeared to be in his forties or fifties, a typical Caucasian male, well-dressed, like a gentleman.
He was enjoying a cigar behind the desk, and then the wall disappeared. By the time he reacted, Xue An was already sitting across from the desk.
This sudden series of events left him frozen in his chair.
"Who are you? What do you want? If it’s money you want, just name a price, as long as you don’t kill me!"
He was very perceptive, not even attempting to resist, even though there was a button within his reach. Pressing it would turn the room into a killing field with numerous gun barrels aimed at everyone but him.
But he didn’t do it, because as the King of Sin, he had a very clear understanding.
This young man was no ordinary person, and all his tricks seemed like jokes in front of him.
If he dared to resist, the next moment he would be reduced to nothing.
His hunch was spot on, as Xue An merely smiled lightly, then sat across from him, putting his feet up on the desk.
"I don’t want money. I just want you to do something for me!"
"What is it?"
"Quite simple, I want to enter the Carter Family without alerting anyone, so I came to you!"
"That’s impossible!" The man immediately shook his head in refusal.
"I’m merely the overseer of this street, and the Carter Family is a beast entrenched in Congress and the Elder Council, not to mention, I can’t even enter the wealthier district, let alone get close to the Carter Family."
"Oh? A refusal so straightforward?" Xue An smiled slightly.
But his smile put immense pressure on the man, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"The challenges you described I’m well aware of, but I believe that as the King of Sin, you should have a way!"
"After all... not just anyone can take on the title of Bone Picker Griffin!"
The name Griffin sparked terror in the man.
Because it had been a long time since anyone mentioned that name.
He thought that those who knew the name were all long dead, yet this young man knew it so well.
"Who exactly are you?" Griffin asked hoarsely.
"Someone you’ve known long ago but have forgotten," Xue An said lightly.
This man was the very thug that Xue An had met and subdued in the City of Sin, Bone Picker Griffin.
It was shortly after Xue An’s rebirth that he, along with An Yan, traveled the world, eventually reaching the City of Sin in the desert of M Country.
At that time, Griffin was one of the so-called Dark Triad and was extremely ruthless.
But Xue An quickly taught him a lesson and ultimately subdued this beast.
From then on, Griffin was deeply convinced by Xue An, worshipping him unquestioningly.
Yet in this timeline, Griffin was still living by crime.
But due to timeline changes, the City of Sin had been eliminated by the Federal Credential Bureau, so he came to New York City, once again becoming the underworld king.
Griffin took a long look at Xue An, finally lowering his head with no choice.
"There will be a charity event in the wealthy district at this time tomorrow night, there should be a chance to sneak in then!"
"Good, you’ve made a very wise choice!" Xue An smiled slightly, then got up to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
"Anything else?"
"I don’t care about the grudge between you and the Carter Family, but I must advise you, their roots are far deeper than they appear on the surface."
"So if you want to take action, you better consider the consequences, especially since that is a top-tier wealthy district, and the wrath of the Federal Credential Bureau is not easily borne!"
In response, Xue An merely shrugged slightly.
"Rest assured, once I get the answers I want, all issues will cease to be issues!"
