Chapter: Chapter 71
The farce in the game didn’t last long. When Xue’er knocked on the door and told Leticia that her sister had responded, the Demon Lord immediately quit the game.
If they kept talking, the captain would have forced her and Bai Ling together.
She really didn’t know where the captain got her imagination from. Their relationship was so bad, yet she could still say things like, “Qianqian and Xiaobai’s relationship is so good.”
Were human girls’ thoughts always so jumpy?
It truly surprised Leticia.
“His Highness’s reply is yes, and the sooner the better,” Xue’er informed Leticia of Qila’s response.
“The sooner the better, huh?” Leticia nodded. It seemed Qila was indeed very interested in this book. “Then let’s set a time and place… Bai, can we change where we’re going on Wednesday?”
They were already planning to do something bad on Wednesday. Since they were going to do something bad, adding something extra seemed like a good idea.
“Are you planning to…” Bai Ling understood Leticia’s meaning.
This girl was planning to be lazy.
If the meeting time was set for tomorrow, Leticia could complete both tasks of meeting her sister and continuing to play the Black and White Duo with Bai Ling in one go.
If they were separated, Leticia would have to pick a time to go out, which was something that the utterly unmotivated Leticia found quite unacceptable.
Why do something twice when it could be done once? What a waste.
“Ask. Are there any places in Central City that are suitable for some shady transactions?” Leticia said to Bai Ling.
She didn’t know any places in Central City where such things could be done. She hadn’t even been to some of the landmark buildings in Central City.
After all, she was a true super shut-in.
Bai Ling, the Sword Saint who had just returned to enjoy her retirement, naturally wouldn’t know the intricacies either, but many people she knew did.
One-Eyed Dragon would definitely know. Her job was to deal with those who hid in the dark, played hide-and-seek, and caused trouble.
Senior Sang should also know, as she was One-Eyed Dragon’s actual superior and had an unclear relationship with the Hero Association.
“Oh, Grandma, you want to know places suitable for shady transactions? There are plenty of them.”
In the end, Bai Ling chose One-Eyed Dragon.
One-Eyed Dragon quickly provided Bai Ling with a few options. “The abandoned factory complex has a complex terrain, and many people like to conduct business here. If negotiations break down, there are plenty of cover for them to retreat.”
“This church is usually frequented by those who consider themselves noble. They appear cultured on the surface, but who knows what kind of villains they are underneath.”
“And this amusement park here was also abandoned due to changes in urban planning a few years ago…”
“I feel like they all sound good?” Leticia was getting a headache. “Hey, why don’t you pick a place for us!”
Hearing Leticia’s unfamiliar voice, One-Eyed Dragon’s heart tightened, but she quickly relaxed. With Bai Ling around, what was there to fear?
Anyone who could listen to her speak with Bai Ling must be Bai Ling’s friend. A Sword Saint’s friend, could they be a bad person?
“Cough, cough, may I know how to address you, Miss?”
“Qian…” Leticia opened her mouth, intending to use her fake name.
But Bai Ling spoke before her and used another name: “Xiao Hei, her name is Xiao Hei.”
“You bitch!” Leticia blurted out a curse.
“I’m Xiao Bai, you’re Xiao Hei,” Bai Ling pointed to herself and then to Leticia, indicating that she had learned this from Leticia.
A week ago, when facing those three unlucky juniors, Leticia had called her that.
Now, in front of Ms. One-Eyed Dragon, she could finally get her revenge.
“Fine, Xiao Hei, I’m Xiao Hei,” Leticia gritted her teeth and conceded. It was better not to reveal her real name.
“Alright, Miss Xiao Hei, my suggestion is this.” One-Eyed Dragon wisely ignored the intimate interaction between Leticia and Bai Ling.
She really didn’t dare to delve into who dared to curse directly at the Sword Saint.
Anyway, since Bai Ling didn’t react, One-Eyed Dragon didn’t want to make a fuss and lose face.
She was an official, a relatively high-ranking official at that. Being easily startled was truly embarrassing.
After gathering her thoughts, she continued, “That amusement park is the best choice. There’s an abandoned theater there, and it’s a transaction spot many people like to choose.”
“Many people like it, doesn’t that mean it’s very unsafe?” Leticia found it hard to understand.
Shouldn’t such a well-known place be excluded first?
Unless… “Is that place tacitly allowed to exist?”
“Miss Xiao Hei knows a lot about these things. That’s right, the transaction spot in the amusement park is tacitly permitted.” One-Eyed Dragon naturally admitted this.
The upper echelons of humanity also needed a place to conduct some unsavory transactions, so they reached a silent understanding with those in the dark world.
The theater in the amusement park was a tacitly approved transaction spot.
“So, the other places are too?”
“That’s right.”
“Are there any you don’t know about?”
“…How would I know about the places I don’t know about?” One-Eyed Dragon stated that she wasn’t a god. She only knew about these public transaction spots.
How could she know if there were other transaction spots?
“Bai, using this location, doesn’t it make us seem unprofessional?” Leticia looked at Bai Ling, feeling that choosing these officially known locations lacked persuasiveness.
They were playing the roles of big shots in Central City’s dark world. What was the point of using these public transaction spots?
As big shots, they should, of course, choose places no one knew about.
Bai Ling blinked her eyes. “I’m fine with anything.”
She was just a fuse to prevent Leticia from getting too excited and giving the book directly to Qila.
The location didn’t matter to her.
“Thank you, Ms. One-Eyed Dragon. I will consider your suggestion carefully.” Leticia hung up the phone and then turned to Bai Ling. “I want to pick a place myself.”
“Mm?”
“Give me the map. I’ll see what place is suitable.” Leticia indicated that she would do it herself.
This was her and her sister’s first meeting after so many years, so she naturally had to prepare well.
Personally choosing the location was part of her sincerity!
“I’ve thought of it. How about that street from last time?” A few minutes later, Leticia slapped her forehead, indicating that she had an idea.
