406: Chapter 406 The Demise of Black Ghost City
Chen Nian's mind went blank.
The Queen--- had long wanted to clean up the Black Ghost Market?
So Chen Yi doing this was with the Queen's tacit approval?
No, impossible!
If the Queen wanted to clean up the Black Ghost Market, she could have just given a direct order. Why use such a roundabout method?
But at that moment, Chen Yi made his move.
He raised his hand with a wave, and a flash of light flickered.
Immediately after, a figure jumped out from the light.
It was a young girl wearing a black dress, her appearance peerlessly beautiful; it was exactly Black Rose!
"Lady Black Rose?"
Chen Nian was stunned.
In the next second, Chen Yi moved.
He took out a long whip, but instead of striking Chen Nian, he whipped—Black Rose?
"Ah—"
Black Rose let out a sound of pleasure.
This scene left Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke and Chen Nian staring in daze.
What is he trying to do? Self-harm?
But soon, they both understood.
Black Rose's aura began to climb steadily!
Originally, she only had the strength of the Ninth Rank, Tenth Stage, but after this whip, her aura surged wildly, breaking through to above the Tenth Rank in the blink of an eye!
To suddenly strengthen her power at this time, and it was that Black Rose famous for mental control!
Chen Nian also reacted, his expression changing drastically: "What are you trying to do?"
He wanted to run, but it was already too late.
Black Rose's pupils suddenly dilated, and a powerful mental intent erupted!
Chen Nian was only at the Eighth Rank, Tenth Stage. Before Black Rose's power of over the Tenth Rank, he had no way to resist.
His eyes instantly became hollow, his expression blank, and his body froze in place.
"Send a letter of apology to all partners, admit the Black Ghost Market's relationship with the Demon Abyss Cult, and then--- commit suicide!"
"Yes---"
Chen Nian responded mechanically.
He walked to the computer and began to type.
His fingers were stiff, but his speed was very fast.
Ten minutes later, a letter of apology with sincere wording and genuine emotion was sent to all the partners of the Black Ghost Market.
In the letter, Chen Nian, as the general manager of the Black Ghost Market, admitted that the Black Ghost Market was indeed an industry of the Demon Abyss Cult, admitted to deceiving all partners for many years, and admitted that those discarded spirit beasts were all a scam they designed---
Except that he only found out recently and was already powerless to change anything.
The sincerity of the words and the humility of the attitude were even more genuine than writing a love letter.
At the end of the letter, he wrote: "I know my sins are heavy, and I have no face to confront everyone. Only through death can I apologize to the world!"
After sending the email, Chen Nian took a decorative short sword out of a drawer.
Then, he swung the sword and slit his own throat!
Blood splattered.
Chen Nian's body slumped to the ground, his life rapidly fading away.
Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke looked at this scene and sighed softly.
She really didn't expect Chen Yi's efficiency to be so ridiculous.
In one day, with just one move, the Black Ghost Market was almost wiped out.
This letter of apology actually completely solidified the relationship between the Black Ghost Market and the Demon Abyss Cult.
That attitude of extreme sincerity was instead even more suspicious—would a normal person admit everything so straightforwardly and then commit suicide?
It would only make people feel that this was a silencing order issued by the upper echelons of the Demon Abyss Cult!
And when Chen Nian's body was discovered by others, angry netizens would surely consider it an order from the Demon Abyss Cult's higher-ups, thereby further solidifying the connection between the Black Ghost Market and the Demon Abyss Cult.
As for the remaining remnants of the Black Ghost Market--- seeing Chen Nian commit suicide and send that kind of apology letter, they would inevitably think this was the Queen's intention to destroy the Black Ghost Market.
Otherwise, even if Chen Nian made a mistake, he wouldn't go as far as committing suicide, right?
Even if they had the greatest ambitions, they wouldn't dare to disobey the Queen's orders.
The Black Ghost Market is finished!
Completely finished!
Yuri Demon Empress Ai Ke turned to look at Chen Yi; this man's profile looked calm and profound under the light.
In just one day, using only one authority and only one move, he had almost wiped out the Black Ghost Market, which had been operating for hundreds of years.
Truly terrifying, this man.
She suddenly felt that the Queen's high regard for him was perhaps--- not without reason.
---
Inside the Crystal Palace, Hua Yuetong and Hua Xingtong watched the constantly refreshing news and comments about the Black Ghost Market on their phone screens.
Their hands were tightly held together.
【Chen Nian, the general manager of the Black Ghost Market, commits suicide after sending an apology letter, admitting connection with the Demon Abyss Cult!】
【The Fang Family of Yanjing urgently cuts all cooperation with the Black Ghost Market, claiming—they were deceived for years!】
【The Beast Tamer Association announces a full investigation into families and individuals who had dealings with the Black Ghost Market!】
【Black Ghost Market's global strongholds undergo surprise inspections; evidence of Demon Abyss Cult activity found in many places!】
【---】
Every news item was like a heavy hammer striking the two sisters' hearts.
But this was not a painful strike, but rather--- a sense of relief.
Hua Yuetong's lips trembled slightly, and something flickered in her eyes.
She turned her head to look at her younger sister beside her and found that Hua Xingtong was also looking at her. Both of their eyes held the same emotions—disbelief, relief, and deep gratitude!
"He--- he really did it---"
"The Black Ghost Market is really finished! That place that treated us like pawns and toyed with our fates at will--- is really finished!"
Their thoughts returned to two years ago, to that night that changed their lives.
Back then, they were still the unvalued twins of the Hua Family in Jiang City.
Because of an innate bloodline defect, they were only F-rank when they awakened, and they were subjected to cold eyes and discrimination within the family.
But they didn't give up; they found a certain special formation in ancient books and tried to improve their bloodlines themselves.
The first few times were successful—from F-rank to E-rank, then to D-rank, and finally to C-rank.
Every improvement ignited hope in them, making them think they could finally change their fate and gain the family's recognition.
However, the last time, the formation suddenly failed. Not only did their bloodlines regress, but they also contracted a strange incurable disease; they could neither form contracts nor transform into Spirit Beast Forms.
The family completely gave up on them.
Their parents coldly kicked them out of the house and severed ties, as if they had never existed.
At that moment, the two sisters' world collapsed.
They curled up on the street on a rainy night, cold and hungry, their hearts full of despair.
Then, a kind person appeared.
People from the Black Ghost Market saved them, took them for treatment, and gave them food and a place to stay.
The two sisters were moved to tears, thinking they had met their savior.
It wasn't until later that they gradually understood that all of this was a designed scam.
The Black Ghost Market first engineered the failure of their formation and then appeared in the posture of a savior. Their ultimate goal was to train them as commodities to be auctioned on the black market.
If they hadn't met Chen Yi, if he hadn't bought them at the Han City Black Ghost Market auction, they would now--- likely have long since become the playthings of some perverted tycoon or research samples in a laboratory.
The Black Ghost Market was the eternal nightmare in their hearts!
And now, this nightmare was personally crushed by Chen Yi!
