95: HOW TO GET THE ACCESS TO THE BLACK MARKET

HOW TO GET THE ACCESS TO THE BLACK MARKET

"Why are you suddenly interested in the black market?" Redmond asked Cane with a frown between his brows, but his eyes were fixed on Iris, who was busy wringing the hem of her wet dress. She crouched down. She didn't seem interested in the conversation whatsoever. She was there only because she was called here.

"Unless you can go through winter without food, you can start talking now." Cane glanced at Iris, who was in her own world, but then focused back on the matter at hand.

"I can go through the winter just fine." Redmond shrugged his shoulders. There was no way there was anyone who could go through winter without food, but he was not in the mood to help Cane in any way.

Cane looked at how obstinate he was and because he didn't pledge his loyalty to him, there was nothing he could do except to kill him, but then it would cause a riot within the ranks of people under him.

"Okay."

Okay?

Redmond was confused, he thought Cane would ask, beg or implore more, well, he wished the alpha would do that.

After that, Cane walked away at a steady pace with perfect composure. He didn't try to argue, nor did he try to persuade him.

So, why did he come all the way to the training ground in the rain and even called for Iris to come if he was going to give up so easily?!

On the other hand, Iris saw how Cane walked away from there and immediately took her umbrella to follow him.

"Wait!" Redmond gritted his teeth when he swallowed his pride, but to his surprise Cane didn't even stop, he kept walking. Damn this man! "I told you to wait! Okay! I will let you know how to get to the black market!"

Only then did Cane stop walking, but because Iris didn't have a clue he was going to stop, she ran straight into his back and fell down on her back.

Redmond immediately rushed toward her and helped her to stand up.

"Damn it! Can't you have a little bit of sympathy?!" He steadied Iris and he only stepped aside after making sure she was alright.

However, Cane only stared at her with an impassive expression. "It was her who bumped into me."

"You!" Redmond glared at Cane, but in the end, he could only shake his head.

"Talk now," Cane said. He folded his arms in front of his chest, as he leaned against the wall of this tunnel. He glanced at Iris, who was standing awkwardly beside Redmond. She didn't have a clue why she was there. She missed their conversation earlier entirely.

"To become a new member, you will need to get verified first," Redmond replied begrudgingly.

He was well aware that without food, no one would survive winter, neither him and his men nor Iris, while the rest of the Howling Wolf pack, they could die for all he cared.

"How?" Cane gave out an imposing manner, as he spoke, he looked careless, but his sharp eyes couldn't hide the hundreds of plans that started brewing in his mind.

"The verification usually happens around the end of this month, if you really want to get it done, we need to leave in three days."

Iris followed their conversation now and learned that they were talking about going to the black market. Her eyes glinted with curiosity, she thought Cane wouldn't agree to this and from what she heard, today was the day that the merchants would come to this place and bring the rations and all staple food, but what happened?

"How to get that verification done?"

"It's simple." Redmond shrugged his shoulders. "You just need to win the auction for that."

"Auction?"

Iris craned her neck slightly, as she was so interested in this.

Redmond explained that there were only three slots for every four months if someone wanted to be a member of the black market and all the people needed to compete to snatch a slot.

"They will give the slots to the three highest bidders."

"And then what? They will give you a badge to access the place?" If that was the case, Cane didn't need to get into the auction. He could get it from Masson. A few rounds of torture would be enough to make him speak. His endurance of pain was not really remarkable.

And as if Redmond could read what Cane was thinking, he snickered. "They will give you this magical tattoo to access the place and you can only bring four people, aside from you, with you."

Cane lowered his head slightly, he stared at the ground, thinking deeply.0

"Is there a magical tattoo on Mason's body?"

"Yes, on his left arm."

"Can't I cut his arm and show it to them?" He was very practical and didn't want to waste his time.

Iris got startled when she read what he was saying, while Redmond gave him a derisive smile. "Of course, you can't do that, Alpha," he said in a mocking tone. "The magical tattoo will disappear if you cut his arm. If people can do that, the owner of the tattoo will have to live in danger, as many people want access to the black market."

It was not as simple as that.

Cane nodded and then looked at Iris for a while, before he spoke in his cold voice. "Prepare yourself, we will leave in three days."

Iris blinked her eyes, she thought Cane was talking to Redmond, but why was he looking at her? On the other hand, Redmond also thought the same thing.

"You are talking to me, right?"

Cane lifted his head and looked at him. "You also, prepare yourself." And then he turned around and was about to leave, but Redmond blocked his way so fast. He stood right in front of the alpha.

"What do you mean?! You want to take her with you to the black market?!"

"Yes."

Redmond was speechless. "She can't do anything and will only slow us down. It will be troublesome if she gets sick! Have you forgotten how weak she is!?"
