The Rebirth of the Legendary King
Trying with New People
Ling sat in front of his computer. He re-accessed the special website of the Island That Cannot Be Called His Name. This time he entered a black market forum there. It was a special forum to trade forbidden goods. They can also sell a variety of information.
But entering the forum has risks. Everyone can track the whereabouts of the account owner if he or she types a single word in the forum. Ling put this risk aside to help Old Master Zhuo.
King: [Information on one rare disease. The reward of one hundred-year-old medicinal plant root. You can take it from a sniper.]
Doctor : [Sure. You can send information about the disease in private.]
After reading the message, Ling immediately explained about Old Master Zhuo and Liam's illness. He then logged out of his account so no one could track him. Ling did not know back then the forum was getting crowded.
Bomb Expert: [Hey, is he not afraid if Hackers track him? How dare he use the King's account.]
Doctor: [All I need is that root.]
Shooter: [I'm happy to drive him.]
Hackers: [No one dared to use the King's account other than the King.]
Everyone in the forum cannot name. I can only mention work. Even so, they knew each other's names. And in the forum there is only one job for each person. Because the people there are the best of the best.
Ling took his phone and contacted Yuan Ming.
"Hello, Young Master Chen," Yuan Ming answered the phone.
"Have you checked out the island we bought?" ask Ling. He asked the island they got at the auction.
"Not yet, Young Master. Do you want to check it out yourself?" asked Yuan Ming.
"Then I'll check it myself" Ling replied. He decided on a one-sided call.
The island is quite large. He planned to build a training and potion academy. According to the info obtained, the island had many ingredients of potions so they would benefit greatly.
Ling wanted to prepare a new island for the members of the Combat Organization. In addition, the island can be used as a training ground for new members.
Then Ling would open a potion academy with him as a teacher. But it seems like he needs a new teacher because he is quite busy.
In the auction, they only managed to get one island because the other territory was bought by the Lu Company.
The territories that Lu Company had obtained had already been confiscated. They have also been blacklisted and cannot work with any company in Shadow City. Although it only applies to Shadow City, but which companies want to cooperate with companies that are in conflict with Shadow City.
What made their rankings rise was a memory potion.
Ling walked to his mini library. He picked up the ancient book stumped other books. Books on the shelf are getting more and more. Chen Qi was completely filled to the brim.
After finding the book, he took it to the study table. It opens one page at a time. Though Ling had mastered the ancient language, but he still could not read the writing in this book. This book is more ancient than he has ever learned.
He took a paper tear. He thought his paper was the leftmost part of the paper. He tried to fuse with the paper from Old Master Zhuo. But he can't see anything yet. The pictures there are not united. Now Ling thought that the paper was not divided into four, but six.
It seemed like the paper was indeed very important, until Shadow City was afraid if one had the sheets intact.
He thought back to who Zhuo Xia really was. Why did he do all this? And why he could be so powerful in Shadow City.
Though in Ling's memories, he never knew what the Zhuo Family's power was.

"Miss Zhuo, do we need to move again?" ask Yu Bin. They were in Zhuo Xia's private villa right now.
These few days, Zhuo Xia had not slept at all. His face looks very tired. His eye bags are a little visible. Even so, the aura of his nobility did not disappear. He was still focusing on typing on his computer.
"You can rest first" Zhuo Xia said. He sent the message he had typed.
After getting the documents stolen by Zhao Ran, they could gradually clean up the members of the Pegasus organization. This organization is very powerful because many great people are joining. They came to Urban City. Currently Zhuo Xia did not know what their true purpose was.
Shortly after, a servant leader knocked on Zhuo Xia's room. It had been days that he had done this, but Zhuo Xia had not opened the door for him. Looks like he should use the last move.
"Miss, Mr and Mrs made a video call. They've been waiting for you since morning" said the butler.
Door opens. The butler immediately bowed respectfully. Then, Zhuo Xia walked past him without even glancing at him.
"What's the matter, Mom?" zhuo Xia asked after sitting in front of the computer.
"Xia, I miss you. When are you back? Why is your face so pale and dull? Have you never had treatment there? How's the chief servant doing? Didn't he take good care of you?" said Zhuo Xia's mother, Madame Zhuo.
"My mom does a lot of work here. I don't know when I'll be back yet" Zhuo Xia said massaging his temple.
"Xia, we can only hold back for a moment. Don't fight Shadow City too much" said Zhuo Xia's father, Mr. Zhuo.
"I did the right thing," Zhuo Xia replied. He is sitting up straight now. His expression became serious.
"Then, the person in Shadow City doesn't like it very much," replied Mr. Zhuo again.
"It's okay. Just leave them. As long as I am on the right path, as long as I don't cross the line, I will remain like this" Zhuo Xia replied firmly.
Master and Madam Zhuo could only sigh. Now Madame Zhuo spoke again.
"Xia, your matchmaking matter with Young Master Bo should be discussed immediately. So the Bo Family sent her to Urban City to get closer to you," Madam Zhuo said. This is the point of the conversation they will be speaking about.
Zhuo Xia's gaze turned cold. He said flatly, "I'm engaged. I told you, I don't want to be betrothed. Mom and Dad understand me the most. You guys must know what I'm answering."
"Xia, she left a few months ago. There is no harm in trying with new people" said Mr. Zhuo. Actually, they as parents also do not want to match their children. They wanted Zhuo Xia to be happy with her choice. They were talking about this only to report to Zhuo Xia's grandfather.
"I'll wait for him to come back. If there's nothing to talk about anymore, I'll turn off the call. I still have a lot of work," Zhuo Xia said coldly. He turned off the video call.
Zhuo Xia sat leaning back. He closed his eyes. His expression looked sad and lonely. He stroked the necklace with the pendant of a pair of rings around his neck.
