Mo Fan went for a walk in the marketplace after dinner to see if he could find something useful for himself.

Lu Kun had told them the time they were meeting. They just needed to be back before then.

The marketplace was well-developed in a retro style. The structures of the marketplace were built with glazed tiles, which had gradually transformed the marketplace into an impressive tourist attraction.

There were a lot of foreigners sightseeing, even though they were not here to buy anything.

Mo Fan and Lingling went around the marketplace while enjoying some tanghulu.

“This magic herb is a new invention of the Magic Association. It can help you replenish your energy in the middle of a fight. Does anyone want to try it out?!”

“Selling rare bones, ten yuan for nine pieces, it’s a bargain!”

“Selling all kinds of soul jades. Summoners, please come take a look, we have all kinds of soul jades available, as many as you want!”

The vendors were shouting in the marketplace to grab attention. The bustling scene made the two feel like they had gone back in time. Many vendors were dressed in antique clothes that matched the theme of the marketplace.

Mo Fan went to the guy who was selling soul jades. “Mister, what levels of soul jades are you selling?”

“Any level you want!” the small-eyed owner promised.

“I’m looking for Commander-level soul jades. Do you have them?”

“I do! There’s no soul jade I can’t get. I, Tong Jianhua, have been supplying the Royal Guards with soul jades! Do you know Pang Lai, the chief of the Royal Guards? He’s a reputable Summoner in China! Many of his disciples are my customers. I can get you anything you want, as long as you can afford them!” the owner promised.

“I want souls of the wolf species. The souls of demon wolves would be the best,” Mo Fan told him.

“Let me have a look.” The owner took out his phone to check his inventory. He quickly reported, “I have the soul jade of a Commander-level Darkwing Wolf, and four soul jades of Fierce Mountain Wolves. Are you interested? I also have their lineage and bones. I can sell them to you at a discounted price. Are you sure you can afford them? We are talking about a huge sum.”

Despite the size of the shop, every piece of magic Equipment had a price of several hundred thousand or even millions.

The things Mo Fan was asking for could easily add up to several tens of millions. Most buyers would confirm what they were buying and make the transaction at an official exchange where the transaction could be verified.

“Are those all you have?” Mo Fan asked.

“Are they not enough for you?”

“I have a lot of friends with the Summoning Element. The things you have are only enough for myself.”

“You have found the right guy, then. I can’t guarantee you if you are looking for something else, but I can definitely find enough soul jades, lineages, and bones for you. I also have Hunter Masters specialized in hunting demon wolves. Even if I don’t have enough stock, I can ask the Hunters to gather them for me in less than half a month!” Tong Jianhua promised.

Lingling pulled Mo Fan’s shirt. She knew why Mo Fan was interested in the soul jades.

“If you need resources to evolve your wolves, you can hire Hunters to gather them for you. Many Hunters are specialists in hunting certain species of demon creatures. They know how to track the species and where their lairs are. They also know how to retrieve the resources in perfect condition,” Lingling told him.

“You are right. I can pay them with a deposit first too!” Mo Fan agreed.

Seriously, he had been working for clients for so long. Why couldn’t he be the boss for once, and hire others to work for him?

After negotiating the price with Tong Jianhua, Mo Fan asked him to issue the quest on his behalf.

It would mean Tong Jianhua would benefit as a middleman, but it would save Mo Fan time spent issuing the quests and recruiting Hunters himself at the Hunter Union. It was easier to get a professional to do the job for him. He did not mind paying the extra fees.

“Brother, I will have a new supply of Ruler-level bones and blood half a month from now. I can reserve them for you. Do you want them?” Tong Jianhua asked before Mo Fan took his leave.

“I want them all as long as they belong to the wolf species!” Mo Fan declared.

“Sure, leave it to me!”

Mo Fan noticed Lu Kun was waiting for him at his door when he went back to the mansion.

“You don’t look nervous at all, that’s great!” Lu Kun smiled after he learned Mo Fan had the mood to go shopping.

“I’m just following the flow, but it’s best if we can take the job.” Mo Fan invited Lu Kun into his room.

Lu Kun was extremely cautious. He had set up magical barriers in everyone’s rooms to prevent Shadow Mages, Space Mages, and Sound Mages from eavesdropping.

“You may use your own resources for the job, but please don’t tell anyone the details of your job. The client might be generous, but he hates it when people try to pry into his secrets,” Lu Kun reminded them.

“Don’t worry, we know the rules,” Mo Fan nodded.

Lu Kun handed a letter imbued with the Chaos Element to Mo Fan.

After Lu Kun left, Lingling grabbed the letter from Mo Fan and read it.

Mo Fan was not in a rush. He brewed himself some tea and awaited Lingling’s instructions.

Lingling skimmed through the letter, but her expression started shifting in an obvious manner.

She went from being excited… to angry!

“We’re leaving, we are not taking the job!” Lingling threw the letter on the ground angrily. She even stomped on it a few times.

Mo Fan was shocked.

He was pretty familiar with Lingling’s character. It was definitely not a normal job if she was so furious about it!

“What is it?” Mo Fan quickly picked up the letter.

“Someone is playing with us!” Lingling said.

Mo Fan had no clue what she was referring to. He read the letter.

“Do you believe I’m still alive somewhere?

“I have been chasing a demon with a red spirit in the past.

“I first thought it was just a weak demon that trespassed into human cities, but as incidents related to it continued to happen, I realized how terrifying the demon is!

“One day, I found traces of it.

“After reading bedtime stories to get my daughter to sleep, I tracked its scent to the harbor.

“It was feeding on something. It was growing and becoming stronger!

“I let it escape.

“I realized I might have let something that would doom mankind go. Its growth sent a shiver down my spine!

“Every life it takes in the future will be adding to my sins.

“It’s all because of my mistake and my arrogance.

“I swear I will find it.

“And exterminate it!

“In my name of China’s Seventh-Generation Senior Hunter!”

Mo Fan’s face was filled with astonishment when he was done reading.

He turned to Lingling, who had remained silent. She was still brimming with uncontrolled rage.

What was going on?

The letter… Why was it describing Lingling’s father?

It sounded like Senior Hunter Leng’s recounting, but he had been dead for many years!
