Chapter 143: A Man and a Woman Alone in a Room
Wang Keai’s message failed to send. She tried several times, but it was still unsuccessful, causing her to become dejected.
Luo Sheng optimistically said, “Although the black market is illegal, there are many people from powerful groups and families there. Someone will discover us sooner or later.”
“I guess that’s all we can hope for. I wonder how long it will take them,” Wang Keai nodded reluctantly.
The black market was actually under the control of the Alliance, although not overtly. The Alliance had vast assets in the black market, so if it were to collapse, the Alliance would suffer huge losses as well.
Therefore, if something went wrong here, it should be discovered quickly, with many people coming to the rescue.
The most important thing now was to stay alive while waiting for rescue.
Suddenly, a figure appeared outside the window.
“Watch out!”
Luo Sheng shouted, diving to embrace Wang Keai and rolling to the side.
Boom!!!
Immediately after, a violent explosion occurred behind them, caused by a fireball with tremendous power, creating a massive vortex inside the entire building.
Then, through the gap in the wall, a magical girl entered. Her pupils were bloodshot, as if she were a puppet being controlled by someone, her eyes filled only with the desire to kill.
Without a word, she began to attack Luo Sheng and Wang Keai, raising her magic wand and chanting spells.
Luo Sheng was equally agile, drawing out an 【Alice】 card and summoning her immediately. As soon as she appeared, she charged towards the magical girl.
He also took out an energy gun, pulled the trigger, and after a few shots, the magical girl turned into a card.
However, shortly after the card fell to the ground, it shattered into pieces and finally turned to ash, leaving nothing behind, stunning the onlookers.
“How is this possible?”
Wang Keai couldn’t believe what she had just witnessed, it was beyond imagination.
It was as if these were suicide cards, completing their mission and then dying the moment they were defeated.
Luo Sheng said, “I’m not sure either… but we’ve been discovered, we can’t stay here any longer.”
“Mm.” Wang Keai nodded, then added, “Let’s go outside the black market town, there are fewer people there, and it’s more secluded.”
“We’ll go with your plan then,” Luo Sheng agreed.
The two then crouched and ran along the outskirts of the building.
The battle was still ongoing, with many Card Masters fighting life and death battles with those rebellious cards. As time passed, more and more Card Masters’ corpses appeared on the streets, their deaths extremely tragic.
Even the cards in their hands were shattered and rendered unusable.
These rebellious cards were like otherworldly creatures, specifically targeting Card Masters and their cards.
Even though some Card Masters were extremely powerful, close to the Gold level, instantly defeating large numbers of rebellious cards, they too became targets of Gold-level rebellious cards, subsequently suffering frenzied attacks.
Before long, they too became corpses.
Luo Sheng and Wang Keai kept hiding and dodging. When they encountered rebellious cards, Luo Sheng would use Alice or Bai Moxue to clear the way.
After killing more than a dozen girls, they finally escaped to the outskirts of the city, hiding in a small waterwheel house.
Luo Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief: “They won’t find us here for now.”
“That was too dangerous!”
Wang Keai also collapsed into a chair, her previously tense expression completely gone, as if all the strength had been drained from her body, leaving only a lingering fear.
Her long, soft cat tail also drooped, lying limply on the ground.
Luo Sheng just looked out the window of the wooden house.
In the black town, battles were still raging, with flames reaching the sky and explosions echoing one after another. Occasionally, one or two screams could be heard.
Card Masters who could enter the black market were generally not of low rank, at least Bronze 6-star, with a considerable number of Silver-level Card Masters.
As for Gold-level Card Masters, there probably weren’t any. After all, reaching the Gold level already put one among Pingcheng’s top combat forces.
For example, Su Tianchen had little need for the black market’s help, and moreover, the Alliance’s support for them was ever-increasing, so there was even less reason to visit the black market.
“Someone probably wants to weaken Pingcheng’s strength,” Luo Sheng speculated.
“Is that even a question?” Wang Keai said.
She continued assertively: “The black market has thousands of people here every day. If they were all wiped out, I guess the city lord of Pingcheng would be heartbroken for a long time. And in the future, when facing other major events, there would be even fewer Card Masters to call upon.”
“It seems the enemy came well-prepared. Perhaps the black market’s owner has been controlled by them or has turned traitor,” Luo Sheng nodded.
Wang Keai was absolutely right. This major casualty incident was aimed at weakening Pingcheng’s strength. After all, the daily flow of people in the black market was very high, making it an attack point that wouldn’t be easily discovered and quickly responded to by the Alliance.
The two then stayed in this small wooden house, and when they weren’t speaking, they could hear each other’s breathing and heartbeats.
Especially after the recent battle, they were on edge, and the suspension bridge effect naturally occurred.
A man and a woman alone in a room, Wang Keai’s face also showed a slight blush, looking very much like the rosy glow on one’s face after just bathing.
Steam seemed to be rising from it.
“Um.”
“Um.”
They both spoke at the same time, then were both stunned for a moment, the redness on their faces intensifying. Wang Keai lowered her head.
Luo Sheng didn’t have much of a reaction, he had interacted with many card girls before, so his skin had long since thickened.
So he said, “You go first.”
“How did you become so strong?” Wang Keai finally said, then returning to normal, she continued, “Don’t try to fool me again, you must be hiding a lot of secrets, right?”
Wang Keai was still puzzling over the previous battle.
After all, she was a Silver-level Card Master, yet she had been defeated by the Bronze-level Luo Sheng, which was somewhat perplexing.
“It was just a fluke, maybe I was just lucky,” Luo Sheng didn’t want Miss Wang to know too much. A secret told is no longer a secret.
“You!” Wang Keai was very frustrated.
She continued, “Are you really not going to join our Wang family? Even if you marry into our family, we’re not the kind of unreasonable family. You’d get the respect you deserve, and even a large amount of resources tilted in your favor, and also…”
Wang Keai stopped there, the blush reappearing on her face. She turned her head to the side, only her fluffy tail continued to sway.
Obviously, the words that followed were too embarrassing for her to say.
Luo Sheng of course understood her meaning, but he didn’t want to. Marrying into her family would not only be a loss of face, but his freedom would also be too restricted.
So he said, “Isn’t there any other choice? Like marrying you openly and properly, and even getting a lot of betrothal gifts.”
This was the best method he could think of, killing two birds with one stone. He could both win the beauty and gain a lot of resources, having his cake and eating it too.
“You bastard! Keep dreaming.” Wang Keai scolded coquettishly.
This guy was really too much, wanting to gain everything.
“You think a daughter of the Wang family is so easy to marry?” Wang Keai continued.
The Wang family was a famous large family in Pingcheng, not only powerful but also with influence that overshadowed all others in the city.
Therefore, daughters of the Wang family rarely married out. Generally, others married into the family more often, as everyone wanted to form connections, further elevating the status of Wang family women.
Luo Sheng rolled his eyes, “Weren’t you forced to live next door to me?”
“That’s because… to learn from… you…” Wang Keai stammered. She also couldn’t understand why her father would make such a decision.
Did this guy really have anything worth learning?
Wang Keai was full of doubts and confusion.
