Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

Chapter 390 A bright future

A day in the ghost market always goes by quickly. Amidst the hustle and bustle, the sky is dyed with a golden orange color, as if foreshadowing that another day is about to end.

Seeing that time was almost up, the tail-end team prepared to take some time off to visit their old friend Akutata.

"By the way, Dumpling, do you know where Akutata is?"

Before leaving, Selina asked the most crucial question.

"Don't worry."

Jiaozi didn't care. "It's easy to find the fangirl by using a little trick of my little prince Taras."

The method of Jiaozi was to ask each person in the ghost market. Although this method was a bit clumsy, it was really effective. When it was just getting dark, the tail-end team found out the location of Akutata's shop.

However, it seems that Akutata came from a poor family and chose an extremely remote location for his shop to reduce rent.

The tail-end team had just arrived and had been repeatedly frustrated in the ghost market for a long time before they finally found Akutata.

.

Akutata's taste hasn't changed much, and he still runs the familiar coffin shop.

The tail-end team planned to pretend to be customers who ordered coffins and come to confirm Akutata's true intentions, but unexpectedly Akutata saw through their tricks.

"I say, stop pretending. I'm not blind. You're here about the Schwartz thing, right? I have no comment."

Unexpectedly, Akutata refused so bluntly, and the last-place team couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. But the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, so Jiaozi had to resort to small talk to keep the attention:

"Don't be so heartless. We've met before in the hot springs, so we're friends now. Akutata, why did you come to the ghost market?"

"I can go wherever I want. This is my freedom. What do you have to do with me?"

Akutata sneered, "By the way, let me tell you, this coffin shop is my main business. In the ghost market, all kinds of people die in all kinds of strange ways every day. What I have to do is to make sure they go to the City of the Dead in a decent manner."

"As for the arena... it's just my part-time job. Ah, I know you're going to ask again: 'Ah, seeing monsters being tortured like this, doesn't your conscience hurt?' I'm sorry, but in the Ghost Market, everyone can choose what to do. You don't have to use morality to blackmail me. All I want to do is get Luke."

"Also, if Schwartz knew I'd leaked the information, I'd lose this part-time job. Even though he doesn't pay much, a small amount is still meat. I won't let that happen."

Akutata made her position clear in just a few words, telling the tail-end team that she would never betray Schwartz.

This would be terrible. If this only clue was lost, it would not be easy for them to find Schwartz and expose his concealment.

However, on the other hand, Akutata has already exposed her weaknesses, so it might be easier to target her.

Jiaozi's fox eyes turned and he quickly came up with a response strategy. He smiled and said to Akutata:

"The people of Ghost Market are pure and generous! In that case, I'll be frank—I'll give you double the amount of Luke that Schwartz gave you."

After saying this, he knocked meaningfully on Bubulu's coffin. Although his expression couldn't be seen, his arrogant demeanor clearly said it all: See? Good stuff.

When she heard this, Akutata was obviously startled, as if her heart was moved. But she soon returned to normal.

"Give up. You can't convince me. Because in the Ghost Market, there are always things more valuable than Luke."

Akutata's implication was clear: if he angered the last-place team, he would at most be scolded in his heart; but if he angered Schwartz...

Seeing Akutata like this, Jiaozi confirmed one thing in his heart: It seems that Schwarz is not just the owner of the arena, he can also be ranked among the top in the entire ghost market.

It seems that Schwartz's suspicion has increased a bit.

Seeing the last-place team remain silent, Akutata realized that he might have lost his composure, so he added:

"You're new here, right? I'm giving you a piece of advice for free: in the Ghost Market, the less you know about things you shouldn't, the better. The more you know, the more likely you are to get into danger. I have no intention of taking sides; I just want to be prudent and protect myself. So, you two can go back now. I'll pretend you haven't been here today, and you can seek out other experts."

People like Akutata are extremely common in the entire Ghost Market... no, it can be said that they are extremely common in the entire Blue Star.

They don't care much about the grudges of the Monster Master, they just want to live the rest of their lives in peace.

But they don't know that the Blue Planet is no longer what it used to be, and people will soon realize this. In the current environment, no one can be immune, and they must make a choice - choose to exist or to perish.

There is no way. Since it cannot be bribed, the best outcome is not to make an enemy of it.

But Jiaozi still wanted to try harder.

"Hey, there's nothing I can do. I'll just say it straight - we're all Monster Masters from the Cross Base, and we've come to the Ghost Market to carry out a mission! Schwartz has been identified as a descendant of the Xinhuo Clan, a true fire thief! We're doing our best to apprehend him, and we desperately need information about him! Akutata, since we've known each other before, I want to give you a chance, you..."

Jiaozi's desire to perform was simply too strong, and his half-truths were so hard to defend against that any ordinary person would have surrendered long ago. But Akutata remained unfazed.

"Ha—really? You're like a piece of plaster that can't be removed. Listen carefully, I won't answer you a single word!"

After saying that, Akutata took action directly. She grabbed Jiaozi's collar, paused for a few seconds, and kicked him out.

"roll!"

Seeing that Jiaozi was so despised, Bubulu also felt proud.

"Humph."

Di Qi snorted coldly and followed Jiaozi away.

"Stop standing there stupidly!"

Selina wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl out, so she grabbed Bubulu's ear and took him away by force.

After confirming that the tail-end team had really left, Akutata relaxed.

In fact, deep down, she really wanted to help, otherwise she wouldn't have let the last-place team into her coffin shop. But she couldn't do it too obviously. Right now, this was the limit of what she could do.

.

"What should we do now?"

Bubulu was a little dejected. After hitting a snag with Akutata, it became increasingly difficult for him to get close to Schwarz.

"That young lady from Akutata is really not bad."

Jiaozi was clearly kicked out, but he still had a smile on his face.

"You were kicked silly, weren't you?" Selina frowned.

"Do not."

Diqi said, "I saw the moment Akutata grabbed Jiaozi just now. She clearly stuffed something into Jiaozi's arms. As for the kick she gave Jiaozi, it was just a disguise."

"Tiki still has sharp eyes!"

After Jiaozi praised Diqi, he happily took out the thing that Akutata had secretly given him and found that it was a small note.

turn on.
