Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Find a Personal Shopper

Heading back the way they had come, Yang Yu succinctly related his hypothesis to Iyas.

This outcome seemed almost predestined from the moment Iyas was rescued.

The more Iyas understood the implications of Yang Yu’s words, the more she didn’t want to admit that rescuing her brother now would be as difficult as reaching the sky.

"But what should we do now? Are we truly incapable of doing anything? We absolutely can’t just abandon Hake to die... I think we could go back for a counterattack.

They deployed many elites to capture us. Those elites were all struck down by us. If we strike now when no one is on guard, we certainly can find clues about Hake."

"Don’t say such naive things," Yang Yu rebutted Iyas’s idea with an icy tone once again. "Use your brain and think about it, would they truly send out all their elites against us?

They still have so many slaves to protect and so many assets to guard; who do you think is protecting all that?

I can’t deny that capturing us is Silver Orchid Commerce’s main goal, but that’s not the main goal of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce.

The relationships between the commerce associations are generally quite straightforward, tied by interests.

Silver Orchid Commerce must have offered Sunrise Chamber of Commerce plenty of benefits to help with the task, but those benefits certainly wouldn’t be enough for them to abandon their main business.

If we go back now, it’s the same as walking into a trap, and the person in charge there will probably wake from a dream laughing."

"So..."

Before Iyas could speak, Yang Yu interrupted her, "And don’t even think about doing something foolish like seeking out Silver Orchid Commerce. You barely escaped from there; surely, you don’t want to be sent back in, right?

I don’t possess the remarkable strength to go in and out of someone else’s territory at will.

Don’t overestimate my abilities too much.

The reason I seemed to have handled everything with ease until now is that all the enemies were within my range of capabilities.

The secret to constant victory isn’t about fighting valiantly but about remaining undefeated.

Accurately judging one’s own strength and the enemy’s, making the right choice whether to fight or not, that is the true path to invincibility."

Iyas, unable to voice her thoughts before being fully seen through by Yang Yu, fidgeted with the hem of her skirt with nowhere to put her hands.

"So, what do we do now? You didn’t flee elsewhere but returned along the same path; surely, you’ve thought of some method, right?"

Looking ahead to the long road before him, Yang Yu’s face bore no smile.

"You could say that. Right now, whatever method we use will take a lot of time. The most time-effective method I can think of is only one.

That person has good morals, and I owe him a favor. I think he’d definitely be willing to help out. Or perhaps, he is the most suitable one to assist."

Yang Yu slowly disclosed his plan to Iyas.

In simple terms, it was about finding someone to act as an intermediary buyer.

Yang Yu and his group were undoubtedly on the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce’s blacklist. Just appearing within the area of the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce’s activities may pose the risk of being pursued comprehensively. Attempting to gather intelligence at the auction house would be a fool’s dream.

But if Yang Yu and his group couldn’t do it, naturally, others could.

As long as the auction house was still in operation, it would open doors for business and not refuse anyone coming to auction slaves.

With Yang Yu fleeing in such disarray, the Sunrise Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t likely change the slaves’ location just because of his appearance, considering the transport cost of each slave, which was paid for in glittering Gold Coins.

In other words, the intelligence Yang Yu had obtained remained valid.

He just needed to find someone trustworthy, hand over the intelligence he had, and let them complete the plan Yang Yu had once devised to easily obtain the clues about Iyas’s brother.

The problem arose.

Where exactly could he find someone worthy of his trust?

Yang Yu couldn’t trust those who lived by special professions; there was a fundamental three to seven chance of them turning traitor. It was quite possible they would take Yang Yu’s treasures and run off with the money immediately.

A trustworthy person would, of course, be someone Yang Yu knew and someone whose character he was somewhat familiar with.

Unfortunately, Yang Yu hadn’t made many acquaintances in Serti.

The two people he had met by chance from Red Blood Rose clearly weren’t considered for the role.

Luckily, there were still some candidates.

They weren’t people he had met in Serti.

Indeed, the person Yang Yu believed to be most capable of carrying out this task was Sekamens, whom he had only recently fought against in disguise.

Sekamens had an exceedingly beautiful face that countless young women longed for, and an indescribable nobility that effortlessly earned others’ trust, without any need for pretense.

Moreover, Yang Yu knew their whereabouts, and finding them wouldn’t be a difficult task.

Additionally, Yang Yu could also complete the Hidden Task "The Goblin Emperor’s Legacy" that he had been concerned about, killing several birds with one stone.

Of course, Yang Yu had not mentioned this last point to Iyas.

...

...

On another side.

A thin man was anxiously awaiting the latest news within his villa.

Although this villa was several times smaller compared to the one he used to live in, having a place where he could settle down in peace made him thoroughly content.

Over the past few months, he had been running around dealing with various affairs, ensuring that his commerce chamber could situate itself securely in Serti at a fraction of its former size.

Regrettably, the man and woman who had caused their downfall were still at large.

The president of Silver Orchid Commerce, Big Pancake Face, wished he could dip them in breadcrumbs, fry them until golden in a pan of hot oil, and then throw them out as dog feed.

Whenever he thought about this, memories from a few months ago would inevitably flash before Big Pancake Face’s eyes.

He had never imagined that Carlo Joy, the ever-friendly president who treasured Giant Umbrella Chamber of Commerce, would disregard his proposal, completely falling out with him and killing his last vestige of hope.

It must have been that man’s work! Otherwise, Carlo Joy would never have decided on such a course.

Without that man, Silver Orchid Commerce would have developed into a unique and peerless major commerce chamber; without him, he wouldn’t have lost so many subordinates; without that man, he wouldn’t have ended up in such a dire situation.

Big Pancake Face harbored a bone-deep hatred for Yang Yu but still managed to calm his mind to think, to think about how to cast Yang Yu down to hell completely.

And now, the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come; Yang Yu had walked into the trap he had meticulously set.

Unfortunately, following the good news, there wasn’t another piece of good news.

The fact that Tan Sen Slave Auction House people had failed to capture Yang Yu would soon reach his ears, leaving Big Pancake Face restless once again.
