Chapter 228 Stay Away From That Place

11 Finished

That day, after Madelyn finished her rehearsal, she was about to hurry home to care for Sebastian when Josiah suddenly called out to her. “Hey, Madelynt Wait for me!”

“What is it?” Madelyn turned around, her face brimming with confusion as she looked at Josiah..

Josiah promptly stepped forward and gently pulled her side to a quiet spot. Looking around mysteriously. to ensure they were out of earshot, he whispered, “Remember the matter you asked me to look into last time? I think there’s been some progress.”

“What progress? Spit it out!” Anxiety consumed Madelyn in a flash.

Josiah leaned in closer to her ear and whispered, “It seems like the medicine came from the black market.”

What?

Madelyn froze, dumbstruck.

The black market was not uncharted waters. Previously in Rodunst, she had been to a black market once in search of Grimo,

To put it nicely, places like those could be described as a black market. But if one were to be blunt, it’s nothing more than a hub for illicit transactions.

Moreover, the black market within the country was notoriously ruthless, a den of every kind of character you could imagine. It was far more terrifying than the ones overseas,

No one could have imagined Eunice obtaining the calming medicine from that place. It was downright despicable!

Just then, Josiah started to recount his past. “I’ve actually visited the black market once when I was around eighteen out of sheer curiosity. In the end, I almost got my leg cut off by someone there. Thankfully, I managed to escape after much difficulty. But when my dad found out, he was so angry that he almost broke my leg himself. Man, my leg sure had a close call But honestly, after that, I never dared to go to places like the black market again. I didn’t expect that there would be people buying medicine from places like that. Man…” Josiah trailed off, looking at Madelyn with an air of concern.

“So, what do you plan to do next? That medicine clearly has a dubious origin. If it really came from the black market, then it would be best for us to avoid getting involved in this murky business. Even if we did delve into it, we might not be able to uncover anything! Josiah reasoned.

Upon hearing these words, Madelyn bit the insides of her cheek, lost in thought.

A moment later, she nodded curtly. “Don’t worry, I have a plan.”

“What’s the plan?” Josiah looked at her, puzzled.

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind. No… It can’t be! This girl isn’t planning to go to the black market, is she?
